Ping Pong Life

Chapter 167 The Silent Scorpio

After the game, Lu Feiyang accepted a live interview in public for the first time. He was not stage-frightened, and he was very excited and full of desire to express.

Because it was the official live broadcast of CTV, someone translated it on the spot.

The reporter asked: "How do you feel about your performance today? How do you evaluate your opponent?"

Lu Feiyang said: "I feel... so-so. After all, it's the first time I'm playing in an open competition. My hand is a little raw, so it's a fluke. After all, my opponent Zhuang Huishen is still very good. It's just that I'm lucky. Judging from the scene , it should be down to up."

There is no problem with what he said, and it was taught by Zhu Zeshi before he set off from the imperial capital. The manuscript was specially memorized, and it was absolutely stable. match……

Lin Zijun turned to look at Zhuang Huishen: "Senior..."

"You boy, don't always think that I'm a glass-hearted person just because you have a bad mentality, okay?" Zhuang Huishen couldn't help laughing, and rubbed Lin Zijun's hair: "I understand Huaping's style better than you, these words must be I had memorized it before the expedition, so you don’t have to worry about what he said, it’s meaningless anyway. As for the kid’s real thoughts, he probably thinks I’m too weak.”

Lin Zijun said: "So you are not angry?"

"Why am I angry? I couldn't beat him in the first place." Zhuang Huishen found it very interesting instead: "The players from Huaping are all gentle, courteous and frugal. In fact, there are so many gentlemen who are not all of them are forced by the coach. I'm under pressure, I suddenly saw a guy who hasn't been completely convinced by the coach, I think it's quite character, um, let's listen carefully, after all, it's rare to meet a Huaping player who doesn't talk clichés during interviews."

The reporter asked: "This is your first time to participate in the World Series. Today's game is a good start. So what do you expect for the game tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? What is your expected ranking in this T2 Diamond Tournament?"

Lu Feiyang said: "Every table tennis player hopes to play in international competitions, so I am very honored to be here. The experience of the past few days has also made me feel that T2 is a very good event. I sincerely hope that it can Keep doing it, it will get better and better..."

Okay, from the above passage, it is obvious that Lu Feiyang also memorized the manuscript. Huaping has always been like this. Even if he looks down on this game in his heart, he still has to praise it on the surface. This is a matter of demeanor.

But then, Lu Feiyang let himself go, because there was no standard answer to the reporter's question, and he hadn't memorized the manuscript.

He said: "As for the prospect of the game... We have three people here this time, neither Brother Chao nor Brother Ding is a member of the national team for the time being, especially Brother Chao, who should be here to see the world. So before coming I knew that my task was very heavy. After all, as long as we participate in Huaping, we are heading for the championship. Therefore, even though it is my first time to participate, as the only official member of the national team, I have to shoulder this important task. "

At this moment, Wang Chao and Zhu Ding looked at each other, very confused.

"Is that so?" Wang Chao asked.

"I don't know." Zhu Ding replied.

The reporter was obviously a little confused, because it was completely different from everyone's predictions before the game. He couldn't help asking: "So, can I understand that you mean to say that the team sent by Huaping this time is With you as the main, Wang Chao and Zhu Ding as the assistants?"

Lu Feiyang smiled shyly, looking a little embarrassed: "You can't say that. After all, I am the youngest and the youngest in seniority. I am definitely not the captain...I can only say that since I am here, I will defend Huaping's reputation. I, Lu Feiyang, am duty-bound."

While speaking, he raised his fist, showing great fighting spirit. This scene also triggered countless clicks of taking photos at the scene.

In the imperial capital, Zhu Zeshi turned his head away directly, feeling that the scene in front of him was a bit horrible. If possible, he hoped to dig a crack in the ground at the Sakura Country competition site with his own hands, and then press the kid's head and force him into it.

Qin Huachang laughed loudly with a "poof", but he coughed repeatedly before swallowing a sip of tea in his mouth.

Wang Lu and Cai Guodong looked at each other. They were serious, but their expressions were weird, so they covered their mouths together and lowered their heads.

"I don't want this apprentice anymore." Zhu Zeshi said: "Whoever you want, I will let him."

Wang Lu and Qin Huachang began to meditate as if they had never heard of it.

Zhu Zeshi looked at Cai Guodong: "The head coach..."

"Xiao Lu's talent is not bad, and he is also very diligent in training." Cai Guodong stopped suddenly when he said this, his cheeks bulged, and he held back, and said with a straight face: "It's because he has personality problems that he can't help himself." Do you need a strict teacher like you, Lao Zhu? Well, I’m quite old, don’t get emotional, let’s continue watching.”

Zhu Zeshi sneered: "Unless he really wins the championship this time, I will have to peel off his skin when he comes back...give me a month, if he can't change his character, I will write the characters backwards."

Qin Huachang smiled and said: "I think you should stop thinking about the future and pray that he doesn't meet Wang Chao... This kid is too high-minded, he just thinks that Wang Chao can't beat him, I'm afraid he will meet, Wang Chao That kind of play will knock him out of the shadows."

The crowd took it for granted.

It's not that Lu Feiyang is really worse than Wang Chao, but that this kid is obviously the younger version of Bai Feng, and even Bai Feng was counted as dead by Wang Chao. If Lu Feiyang meets Wang Chao, he will probably be fooled Doubt about life.

In comparison, the coaches would rather let a player like Lin Li beat Lu Feiyang to tears with hard power, which is more practical and educational.

The interview was completed soon, but the effect was extremely obvious.

A large number of posts about Lu Feiyang appeared in table tennis-related forums in various countries.

Because no one was optimistic about him before the game. Even among the three Huaping players, everyone agreed that Lu Feiyang was here to make up the numbers. And in the final interview, a wave of fierce news broke out.

It turned out that he was the one that Huaping put his hopes on to win the championship!
In other words, he is stronger than Wang Chao and Zhu Ding, and he is recognized within Huaping!

Well, this is actually a misunderstanding...

Foreigners didn't know that it was Lu Feiyang who made an own mistake, but took his interview seriously, so many shocking headlines appeared, such as "Shocked!"It turns out that Wolong is the head of the six dragons", "Huaping supernova, 15-year-old Wolong beats the old six dragons", "There was a huge reversal on the second day of the game, Wang Chao was actually the weakest player in Huaping! ", "15-year-old rookie aims at T2 champion", and so on.

Fortunately, the expectations for the next game were high enough, and after a short 10-minute break, the enthusiasm brought by Lu Feiyang was suppressed.

Yoshikawa Oki appeared on the stage, and his tone was unprecedentedly fierce and high-spirited, announcing that the next contestants, Mizuno Taka and Zhu Ding, would appear on the stage.

The audience cheered thunderously, and the audience in Sakura Country stood up in unison, clapping their hands, waving flags, and shaking all kinds of support objects.

Waterbird Eagle lived up to expectations, and walked out from a corner of the stadium wearing an extremely flamboyant patterned sportswear. The spotlight hit him. After coming down, he made a relatively obscene hip-pumping posture, which aroused even more enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Lu Feiyang stood beside Wang Chao, cursing in a low voice: "It's disgusting."

Then he yelled at the back of Zhu Ding who was walking on the court: "Brother Ding, hold on tight and play hard, don't worry, even if you lose, I will avenge you."

Zhu Ding stopped, took off his sunglasses, looked back at Lu Feiyang coldly, and said nothing.

Lu Feiyang's voice stopped abruptly, feeling a little aggrieved.

He really thought so, that's why he said that, but it seems that Brother Ding is not very happy?
So he weakly went to Wang Chao again: "Brother Chao, look at that water bird, it's so funny, just like a clown."

Wang Chao shook his head.

In fact, he didn't find it ridiculous, but rather worried.

He knows that it is often this kind of absolutely extroverted crazy personality that is the easiest to perform extraordinary in the game.

And if it is at home, then the crazy cheers and support of the home audience can push his state to the peak.

Brother Geng is actually a player of the type of water bird eagle, so when he was playing in the top three in Northeast China, he could even absorb enough powerful strength from the support of the audience to overcome his physical fear and finally complete his transformation.

It can only be said that Shui Niaoying has already integrated the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people. From yesterday's interview to today's cheers when he entered the venue, he has gradually pushed forward, improved, and elevated his aura. At this moment, he has formed a Some kind of overwhelming, towering mountain-like "momentum", he enters the arena with this unparalleled momentum, and the pressure on Zhu Ding will be so great that it will make people suffocate.

What Zhu Ding faced was not just one person, but the hostility of all the audience.

The most hated player of the Chinese table tennis bigwigs, Mizutori Hawk, is a national hero in the eyes of Sakura Country fans.

Wang Chao closed his eyes and thought silently, if he were to fight this match by himself, how should he fight?
He couldn't think of a way.

Water Niaoying is definitely the most powerful one among the [-] contestants on the scene. In addition, he has a world-recognized excellent touch. He has the same talent as Luo Jiu's "details" and a sufficiently flexible mind. , in the past few years, he has not only played a royal style crushed by strong strength, but also played a smart style crushed by pure stream of consciousness.

His only shortcoming is that he is not stable enough and has a neurotic side.

"I hope he will perform abnormally..." After thinking for a long time, Wang Chao could only pray silently.

The game started soon, players from both sides guessed the coins, and finally Shuiniaoying guessed right.

There was another burst of cheers in the audience.

The home advantage of the host players was fully demonstrated in this game.

Even a small coin-guessing win can get the audience excited.

Zhu Ding was silent.

After the interview with Waterbird Eagle came out yesterday, he became silent and has remained silent until today.

During the period, Wang Chao tried to discuss with him how to hunt waterfowl hawks, but Zhu Ding only asked one sentence: "Is there anything you can do?"

Wang Chao could only shake his head.

Objectively speaking, Zhu Ding really can't beat the water bird eagle. There is a big gap between the two sides in terms of game experience and hard power.

Even from the perspective of Huaping bigwigs, Shui Niaoying has faintly reached the realm of "above first-class", and is on the same level as Xiao Fei, Lin Li, and Bai Feng. Zhu Ding, in fact, is not even first-class now. He can only be considered "below the first class".

After all, he was abused by Wang Chao in the table tennis, and Wang Chao is just a first-class player in the eyes of the bosses.

So Wang Chao said calmly, "I can't help it."

So Zhu Ding refused to discuss it, he said: "In this case, I want to be quiet."

He just thought about it all night.

Wang Chao knew that Zhu Ding did not admit defeat in his heart.

On the contrary, Zhu Ding was simmering with anger in his heart. He must have been irritated by Shuiniaoying's interview.

He is the most vengeful Scorpio!

He practiced with Wang Chao yesterday, and he played extremely fiercely, as if to vent. When he started to exert his strength crazily, Wang Chao couldn't stop his attack.

This actually means that Zhu Ding has made progress in the recent period, and it is not small. It is not enough to just win the water bird eagle.

So what Wang Chao thinks more now is: if Shuiniaoying wins Zhu Ding, then if there is no accident, Shuiniaoying will face Lu Feiyang in the semi-finals. At that time, what method should Lu Feiyang use to win?

　Thanks to "Autumn Wind House" for the reward.
