Table tennis: Swinging the racket billions of times, achieving a grand slam

Chapter 66 [066] The Master Bedroom is the Champion’s Privilege

Followed by.

Li Qian took out several training schedules from the file bag and distributed them to the three people.

"Gather at 8am, train at 9am, have lunch at 12pm, rest after lunch, train at 2:30pm, have dinner at 5pm, train at 6:30pm, and have a midnight snack at 10pm."

Li Qian gave a brief introduction.

This schedule is almost the same as when I was in the provincial team.

Chen Jin even practiced for a few hours every day.

Even Zhang Jiahao smiled happily after reading the schedule: "I can actually take a two-and-a-half-hour break at noon. It's so humane."

To know.

When he was in the provincial team, he and Chen Jin started training at 1:30 in the afternoon.

Xie Mingyang didn't say anything, but looking at his expression, it was also "so easy".

"Since we are leaving for Lima on the 20th, we need to strengthen our singles and doubles in the next two days, so our training schedule is tight and the task is heavy."

Li Qian took a quick look and asked, "Is there anyone who wants to quit? If so, please bring it up as soon as possible."

"No."

The three of them said in unison.

After countless days and nights of hard training, I have finally come to this point today. Only a fool would give up easily.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must crawl to the end.

"very good."

Li Qian nodded with satisfaction, "Does anyone have any questions?"

"I."

Zhang Jiahao raised his hand.

"explain."

"Do we have a sparring partner for our doubles training?"

"No."

"what?"

Zhang Jiahao frowned, "Then how should we practice doubles?"

"Three sets of doubles, training each other."

Li Qian said.

"You mean, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles practice together?"

Xie Mingyang frowned.

"good."

Li Qian nodded. "Doubles training, in addition to strength, is more about the tacit cooperation between the two people. Serving, receiving, positioning, and filling in positions... We mainly trained these two days."

"Any other questions?"

Zhang Jiahao raised his hand again: "Yes."

"speak."

"Will the prize money from our competition be turned in?"

"meeting."

"How much?"

"40%."

"Boiled!"

Zhang Jiahao frowned, "So many?"

"Is it much?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "Let me do the math for you. Take our trip to Lima as an example. Including the coaching staff, there are nine of us in total. The round-trip airfare for each person is more than 20,000 yuan."

"There's also food, lodging and travel expenses, so it's straight towards 30,000."

"And the prize money for the regular challenge is only 80,000 US dollars in total. Even if you take the maximum prize money and hand it all in, it may not be enough to cover all the expenses."

Speaking of which.

Looking at the stunned Zhang Jiahao, Li Qian smiled and said, "Now you should understand why this competition is a rare opportunity for you, right?"

"Ming, I understand."

Zhang Jiahao couldn't help but gasp.

Only those who manage household expenses know how expensive oil and salt are. After Li Qian's calculation, even Chen Jin felt the pressure of the national table tennis team's exception.

"It is not easy for a country to train an athlete, so cherish every opportunity in front of you."

Li Qian said earnestly.

"Yes."

"clear."

At this moment, Xie Mingyang suddenly raised his right hand: "Coach Li, please don't bother the team with my round-trip ticket. I can buy it myself. Just tell me the flight number."

"What do you mean?"

Li Qian looked at Xie Mingyang.

“I can’t get used to economy class.”

Xie Mingyang said, "Especially for an international long-distance call of more than 20 hours."

"..."

Damn, where did this young master come from?

Li Qian said sternly: "Xie Mingyang, we are a Teemo, you are the captain of the Teemo, how can you be special?"

"I understand."

Xie Mingyang nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that the other party had come to the right path after his persuasion, Li Qian couldn't help but smile with relief.

"How about this, I'll upgrade everyone's cabin."

Xie Mingyang said sincerely, "I'll pay for the upgrade."

watt?

Li Qian couldn't help but widen his eyes. Another rich young man of prince level has come to our national table tennis team?

Take a deep breath.

Li Qian tried to calm himself down: "Nine of us are upgrading together, and time is so tight, I'm afraid there won't be enough seats."

"It seems right."

Xie Mingyang frowned, "Besides, applying for a private route requires approval. What if it delays the competition time..." He pondered for a while, hesitant.

Finally, I made up my mind and reluctantly squeezed into the economy class with everyone else.

Zhang Jiahao looked disdainful and spat on the ground secretly: "Who are you pretending to be?"

soon.

Many matters have been finalized, and we are just waiting for the selection of doubles players for the women's team.

It didn't take long.

The women's team coach brought the news.

The champion and runner-up team up to play women's doubles, so the chances of winning are greater.

The candidate for the women's mixed doubles team was Li Linghan, the third place winner in the women's team selection.

The three members of the female team are all right-handed horizontal players.

Chen Jin had no objection to this.

"Men's doubles, Xie Mingyang and Zhang Jiahao."

"Women's doubles, Ye Sijia and Lin Xinyu."

"Mixed doubles, Chen Jin and Li Linghan."

Li Qian filled in the information and said, "If there are no problems, I will register for the competition according to this list."

There was a pause.

"OK, since everything is fine, let's go home...oh no, let's disband."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qian was the first person to rush out of the training hall.

Looking at Li Qian's back, Zhang Jiahao scratched his head: "Brother Jin, it's not even half past nine, what should we do next?"

"Go back to the dormitory first and put your luggage down."

"Correct."

And the other side.

Xie Mingyang dragged his suitcase alone and walked out of the training hall.

Along the way, he always kept a distance of four or five meters from Chen Jin and the other person.

The reallocated dormitory is also a hotel-style triple room.

It is divided into one master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms.

The master bedroom has two beds and a private bathroom.

The second bedroom has a shared bathroom.

Zhang Jiahao originally thought that with Xie Mingyang's personality, he would definitely fight for the master bedroom, and he even thought about how to squeeze Xie Mingyang out.

But what was unexpected was that as soon as Xie Mingyang entered the room, he took the initiative to choose one of the secondary bedrooms.

"what?"

Zhang Jiahao was stunned for a moment and whispered, "I thought he was going to fight for the right to live in the master bedroom."

"You don't want to fight?"

Chen Jin smiled.

“The master bedroom is a privilege for champions.”

Zhang Jiahao chuckled, "What qualifications do I, a mere third place winner, have?"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door of another bedroom.

There was a crash.

He pushed the suitcase hard into the corner and fell onto the bed.

"Comfortable."

Zhang Jiahao immediately let out a happy hum like Peppa Pig.

"Go to bed early tonight, and don't forget to delete your browsing history before going to bed."

Chen Jin smiled.

"rest assured."

Zhang Jiahao grinned, "I have already turned on private browsing."

Made a few jokes.

Chen Jin returned to his room.

After tidying up, I took out my phone and saw that both QQ and WeChat were full of messages.

Everyone congratulated him on winning the trials.

But the message sent to Coach Wu fell on deaf ears.

"Maybe I'm a little busy."

Chen Jin thought.

After replying to everyone's messages one by one, he opened the monitoring software again.

From beginning to end, I quickly played back the entire day’s surveillance video records.

The video shows a country yard.

The yard is not big, and there is a pile of corn cobs in the middle.

There are also several flowers and plants planted by the wall, such as gardenia, yellow orchid...

But I saw an old man with a hunched back walking in and out of the yard, busy at work.

Whenever the old man appears in the yard, he can't help but take a look at the surveillance camera before turning around to do other work.

"It's already this late, my father-in-law must have gone to bed already."

Old people in the countryside always go to bed early after work to save electricity.

But Chen Jin still called out a few times tentatively: "Father-in-law, are you asleep?"

Just when he thought his father-in-law had fallen asleep.

Just about to turn off the monitoring software.

Sudden.

There was a "pop" sound.

The lights in the room suddenly lit up, illuminating the originally dim yard.

Followed by.

An old man opened the door while putting on his clothes, walked with trembling steps to the bottom of the surveillance camera, raised his head, and stared at the camera eagerly.

"Little Jinzi, do you look like you are in Hong Kong?"
