Ping Pong Life

Chapter 136 Irreplaceable
"What's your name, kid?"

"Hahaha, let me introduce myself solemnly. My name is He Jingping, and I am your father's younger brother. You can't call me hello. You should call me little uncle."

"Hey, call me little uncle, and I'll buy you candy."

……

"Little Dingding, why are you crying? Is your father ignoring you? It's okay, little uncle will take you out to play, okay?"

"Little Dingding, why are you the only one at home? Are mom and dad busy? Ouch, my little baby has been wronged, so how about you staying at my uncle's house for two days? Of course I want to take care of you."

……

"Do you want the marshmallow in my left hand, or the lollipop in my right hand?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Ding gave the wrong answer. The correct answer should be, I want them all."

"Why? Because I am your little uncle, of course I will give you everything."

……

"Okay, Xiao Ding is good, don't cry, don't cry, practice is very hard, but if I practice with you, wouldn't it be much better?"

"Dad? Your dad went abroad for a competition. Huh? Did he say he wanted to take you to Disneyland? Well, since your dad doesn't have time, can my little uncle take you there?"

"Okay, the little guy has learned to lie, I asked your father, he never said he would take you to Disney, so... Hey, do you want to go to the aquarium again? Anyway, I am idle Think of it as going out for a walk with the dog, hahahaha! Don’t bite me, little guy, is it really a dog?”

……

"Xiao Ding, don't give up on anything you do. If you don't practice today, then don't practice again in the future."

"Did the young master's fierce appearance scare you? Then let me apologize to you, okay? Come on, let's continue playing, and we can rest after hitting another [-] balls."

"Hahaha, what are you talking about? Do you want me to be your teacher when you grow up? That's not okay. You are destined to learn from your father in the future."

"Your father is much better than me, otherwise how could he become my senior brother?"

"Hahaha, children, don't be silly, since you want to be a table tennis player, of course you have to win the championship as your ultimate goal. How can it be just for happiness?"

"It's really easy to practice with me, but it's also hard for you to grow up. Xiao Ding, you are so naughty, my uncle can't control you. If you want to win the world championship, then go to your father, or I introduced you to Uncle Qin who looks like a bad guy?"

……

"Go, don't be afraid, you have grown up, Zhu Ding, go back to Su Province first, rely on your own strength, fight all the way from Taihu City, don't let people say that your father is using power for personal gain."

"Hey, Zhu Ding, I watched your game today. You played very well. Keep up the good work. I'll be waiting for you in the national team."

"Zhu Ding, I have good news for you. You have been selected for the second national team. You just need to work harder and win the last game, and you can enter the first national team."

"But don't take it lightly, you have five competitors. Yes, there are five, are you afraid? Hahaha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have already sorted out the information of all of them, and I will fly over to find you tomorrow, we Let's study together all night, try to find their weaknesses, kill them all, and prove that you are the leader of the six dragons."

……

My thoughts stopped abruptly here, as if there was a cold wall blocking the memory behind.

Zhu Ding has always been reluctant to touch that memory again, because it was the first time in his life that he felt the taste of betrayal.

Regardless of all efforts, he practiced with all his might and fought hard, and finally entered the main team of the national team and became one of the six dragons of Huaping. The little uncle is living a happy life in the national team.

He has never been close to Zhu Zeshi since he was a child, because Zhu Zeshi is too serious.

The appearance of the little uncle, like a clear stream in his gloomy life, made his childhood more bright, made his youth more passionate, and gave his life a direction of struggle.

He had known for a long time that He Jingping was not a very good coach in the national team, he was no match for his father, Uncle Qin who looked like a villain and Uncle Wang who rarely spoke.

They all said that the little master uncle has no city, no depth, like a child, easy to be schemed by others, if not for his father's protection, he would have been tricked and cried a long time ago.

But Zhu Ding didn't care about these.

What he wanted was never the most powerful teacher in the world, but the best teacher in the world.

"Great" and "good" are not the same thing in themselves.

The little uncle is the best, irreplaceable in his mind, better than his biological parents, there is no doubt about this, and no refutation is accepted.

In the reform of Huaping that year, the idea of ​​two-way selection between coaches and players was put forward for the first time, and the first crucial experiment was carried out.

Seven days before the test, Cai Guodong issued a document notifying everyone of the matter, giving them enough time to think carefully, and he did not object to the private communication between players and coaches.

So Zhu Ding happily went to He Jingping, wanting to make a mutual agreement.

From his getting along with He Jingping, he didn't feel that He Jingping had a good impression of other players, so he thought this matter was a certainty.

"I will definitely choose you." Zhu Ding told He Jingping firmly: "I don't want to fill in so many volunteers, I just fill in your name is enough."

"Don't put me in the first place, you put your father in the first place, Qin Huachang in the second place, just put me in the third place." He Jingping said at the time: "Because the two of them are indeed better than me." ... Xiao Ding, I watched you grow up, I know your specific situation, I hope you can meet a teacher who is more suitable for you."

Zhu Ding laughed heartlessly: "Okay, okay, little uncle, are you getting older and menopausal, why are you getting more and more verbose? I just want to follow you, I don't care so much .”

He Jingping's persuasion was ineffective, and finally sighed: "Then you put me in the second place, no matter what, don't put me in the first place."

Zhu Ding agreed and left excitedly.

He thought that the little martial uncle was just unwilling to waste his talent, but the little martial uncle definitely wanted to choose him in his heart.

After all, he is so talented, so obedient, and likes the little uncle so much. The two have been friends for more than ten years since they were young. Relationship, is it not an exaggeration to use a sentence of childhood sweetheart and love than Jin Jian?
So, even though He Jingping doesn't want to be his first choice, he still wants to make He Jingping his first choice. He wants to let his respected little uncle feel his sincerity, and make him feel flattered when the answer is announced. , Taste the unexpected joy.

This is the only gift he can give to his junior uncle in more than ten years.

He really, really, really thought it was going to be a two-way street.

He really, really, really didn't expect that the first choice of the little uncle was not him, but Luo Jiu.

Luo Jiu's first choice was Qin Huachang.

Qin Huachang's first choice was Lin Li.

Lin Li's first choice was Qin Huachang.

Wang Lu's first choice was Geng Shuai.

Geng Shuai's first choice was Zhu Zeshi.

Zhu Zeshi's first choice was Qiu Yinong.

Qiu Yinong's first choice was Wang Lu.

There are several other coaches and several players who also have their own choices, but none of them involve him.

Because the other coaches have already tacitly accepted that Zhu Ding is a disciple of the rich family, no one will come to snatch him.

So in the end, Zhu Ding, the member with the most prominent background and the deepest connections among the six little dragons, unexpectedly failed the election.

At that moment, he felt indescribable shame and naked betrayal.

His temper has been hot since he was a child, but that day, facing such humiliation, he insisted on holding back.

Because he was not willing to get angry with the junior uncle, and he found that most of the coaches' choices were inconsistent with the students' choices, so there must be another wave of adjustments.

He is willing to give the little uncle a chance to reform himself.

But then something more humiliating happened in front of his face.

The coaches had a complicated discussion. The coaches of the national team were all old men. They negotiated conditions, made promises, and bargained with each other. Nine surrendered to He Jingping, Wang Lu surrendered Qiu Yinong to Zhu Zeshi, each deal was concluded with a lot of supplementary clauses, when this kind of free adjustment was about to end, He Jingping took the initiative to find Zhu Ding, because he found that Zhu Ding Standing there in a daze, he asked, "Why haven't you gone to your father yet?"

Zhu Ding turned his head and looked, Zhu Zeshi was telling Qiu Yinong, the disciple he had just accepted, and taught him earnestly, without even glancing at him.

He Jingping couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Senior brother is really a man. You are his son, and he even put up a fight with you. Come on, I'll accompany you to find him. If he still dares to take Joe, maybe I will kill you today." I'm going to commit the next crime."

He pulled Zhu Ding and left, but Zhu Ding shook off his hand vigorously, threw the volunteer book in his hand on the ground angrily, turned his head and left, He Jingping called him repeatedly from behind, but he never looked back.

Later, he saw this video shot by someone else. In the video, He Jingping looked at his back with astonishment on his face and didn't understand why he was angry.

For the next half a month, Zhu Ding nominally practiced with Zhu Zeshi, but in fact he didn't take the initiative to say a word to his father, and with his father's nature of emphasizing majesty, it was naturally impossible for him to take the initiative to reconcile with him, so Half a month later, without receiving any special training, he followed the team to Denmark to participate in the World Tour in Denmark that year.

He was the only player among the six dragons who did not have a fixed coach, so he played poorly that year. After meeting Luo Jiu, he was eliminated 4:3, and then Geng Shuai eliminated Luo Jiu, Hart eliminated Geng Shuai, and Lin Li eliminated Hart to win the championship, and Lin Li became famous in this battle and entered the main team of the national team, while Zhu Ding felt a certain kind of deep fatigue after Geng Shuai left the team.

It's not the sad mood of the rabbit dying, but he discovered that he didn't have the great belief to win glory for the country. He insisted on practicing since he was a child, and it was more just to stay with his junior uncle.

What he wants to play is not champion ping pong, but happy ping pong.

But the little uncle has already gone to practice with others.

He lost his favorite toy.

So he voluntarily withdrew from the national team and came to the Poseidon Club.

Another thing happened during this period: He Jingping approached Zhu Ding in private, apologized sincerely to him, and asked him if he would still be his disciple.

Zhu Ding refused. He believed that this was not He Jingping's real idea, but a choice made of desperation.

He didn't need pity, and felt even angrier because of it, he pushed He Jingping out of the room roughly, and shouted through the door: "Get out, get out, I don't want to see you again, He Jingping, from now on, You are no longer my little uncle!"
