Ping Pong Life

Chapter 212 National Team Selection
On February [-]th, the players of the Jiangcheng City team began to return one after another, and the special training of Wang Chao and He Jingping was also forced to end.

When he left the base, Wu Li was quite reluctant to part with him, because what he had gained in the past three days had already surpassed that in the past three years.

Wang Chao and Wu Li agreed to meet at Spade Q in the future, and then followed He Jingping directly to the imperial capital.

The training day of the national team was still before the spring game of the Table Tennis Super League. When Wang Chao returned to the training base of the national team, he found that there were many people inside. , are all unfamiliar faces, and few of them know each other.

Then he was told that tomorrow is the big day for the selection of newcomers for the second national team.

This is also a traditional event of Huaping over the years.

"Now there are a total of 120 seven players here, from 29 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, as well as several table tennis super and table tennis teams. Each of them is a well-deserved trump card in their own team, and what we have to do , is to select from among these people.”

He Jingping obviously has been in constant contact with the Imperial Capital these days, so he said clearly at this time: "This year's selection quota is tentatively set to fourteen, of which seven will directly enter the team, and the other seven will need to be with the children who are currently at the bottom of the second team. Play a little lift game, win the team, lose the repatriation."

Chao Wang nodded in understanding.

This rule is similar to his experience in the national team in his previous life, and it still clearly reflects the national team's "rule by man" mentality from all aspects.

The seven places that directly enter the team are not necessarily the seven with the best results in the assessment, but because they are directly favored by the coaching staff.

The other seven spots for relegation matches are more cruel, because it is really a turning point of fate. If you win, you may have a chance to enter the first team after entering the second team. Work harder and go further. The international competition is beckoning to you.

And if you lose the relegation, you may not be selected next year, because your age is one year older, which means that your potential has dropped a bit.

There are too many table tennis geniuses in Huaguo. If you take a step slower, you may miss your life.

Whether to become a domestic league player whose name will never be heard by the world table tennis world, or to become a big man well-known by fans all over the world, often lies in the outcome of this inadvertent game.

But even so, this year is still a year for the provincial team players to look forward to, because judging from the rules, this year the national second team has to enter [-] people, but only seven people come out, which means that the second team has actually expanded its enrollment.

The reason for the expansion of enrollment is because the coaching staff has deeply realized that our talents are really in danger of running out.

For the next three days, Wang Chao followed He Jingping and watched the entire trial process.

Watching the whole process with him was another player, Sun Tianlong, who was ranked number one in the world.

This is a great honor, and even the other four of the five main players of the national team have never received it.

Sun Tianlong has been watching the selection process for three consecutive years since the year before last.

The reason why I let him watch it is because he is 31 years old, and he is already considered old in Huaping. Come up with a grandson again.

He is trying to look at these young players in the trials with the thinking of a coach, and plan for his future transformation.

As for Wang Chao's achievement of this honor, it can only be said that it really all depends on his personal strength...

His current combat effectiveness is not valued too much by the bosses, but in terms of planning and planning, he has been highly recognized by the bosses of the national team. Qin Huachang even thinks that he is more insidious than most coaches, so the bosses Let him watch with him, in fact, I hope to use his eyes to discover something that I have neglected.

Wang Chao was therefore fortunate enough to get a list of contestants.

He found many acquaintances from the list.For example, Liang Kunpeng, the first player of the Imperial Capital New City team, who was ranked in the same six dragons as himself, and Gao Mingyuan, the second player of the Shandong Weiqiao Club, both came here.

This actually confirms a point of view from the side: the big players of the national team did not really look down on these two dragons two years ago, but deliberately let them go to the table tennis super for two years to hone their edges and corners first. Learn something, in this way, it will be more convenient to teach when you enter the national team again.

Its principle is about the same as boiled eagle.

Then Wang Chao saw the names of Hu Buming and Ma Angxing among the players selected by the table tennis team.

Hu Buming was selected because he played really well last season. As a rookie, his performance was only lower than that of Wang Chao.

Ma Angxing's performance last year was worse than Hu Buming's, but he has already established a relationship with coach Wang Lu, so there is no doubt that he is an unofficial member, one of the seven places that must join the team.

Then Wang Chao discovered Fan Xiaodong's name quite unexpectedly.

In fact, Fan Xiaodong was specially recruited by the national team into Huaping. In order to accept this apprentice, Qin Huachang suffered a lot and paid a heavy price. Wang Chao originally thought that Fan Xiaodong would directly enter the national first team by default, but at this moment when he suddenly saw this name, he suddenly I understand that Fan Xiaodong's strength must have achieved a small amount, and he has entered a new level.

So Fan Xiaodong didn't come for the assessment, he came to fight to become famous, and as expected, he would beat most of the people present, even if he ranked first in the end, it wouldn't be uncommon.

Moreover, after entering the second national team, he would beat a lot of people violently, and finally entered the first national team dignifiedly.

In this case, if he becomes Qin Huachang's disciple again, Qin Huachang will not have to bear the stigma of "going through the back door".

Wang Chao turned the list to the column of "Northern Hubei Provincial Team Selection List", wanting to see how many players there are in his hometown.

Hubei Province sent three people this time, one was 15 years old, one was 17 years old, and one was not familiar with any of the names, and none of them had the name of force.

But this does not mean that Jiang Tiansheng has a problem. On the contrary, it shows that Jiang Tiansheng has vision. Like Wang Chao, he can see that the style of force is a late bloomer, so he didn't even rush to recruit force to the provincial team. Let the force slowly polish in the city team.

However, what Jiang Tiansheng didn't expect was that Wu Li was picked by Wang Chao halfway, and dug into the q of spades.

In the future, when he achieves great martial arts, his selection unit will not be the Hubei Provincial Team, but the Spade Q Club. Once he is successfully selected for the national team, Fan Xiaofan, the owner of Spade Q, will be commended.

So the trials officially started.

Because there are too many games, the game is played on all the tables at the same time. There is a special person responsible for recording all the game games for the coaches to analyze afterwards. At the time of the game, the coaches choose at will. Watch the games and allow free communication with the players after the game.

This is actually a two-way selection process. When the coach sees the players he really likes, he can decide first. The seven places to directly join the team are the obvious privileges for the coaches.

At the same time, the coaches watching the game is also creating pressure on the players. Whether they can withstand the pressure is also one of the important indicators for the national team's assessment.

After all, Wang Chao was just watching the fun, and he didn't have so much purpose. He simply picked the games of his acquaintances to watch.

For example, Fan Xiaodong.

Since the competition in Liancheng, this was the first time Wang Chao saw Fan Xiaodong's appearance after retreating and penance.

Fan Xiaodong's style of play is actually a bit similar to that of Lin Li and Liang Kunpeng. Although he is only 15 years old, he is in excellent physical condition and the quality of the veneer is extremely high. But if you look closely, he is different from Lin Li and Liang Kunpeng, because he is actually He didn't deliberately pursue the quality of the veneer, but his physical condition is too good, and the way of exerting force is very standard, so the balls he hits are of high quality every time.

Just looking at this point, his foundation is already above the vast majority of professional players.

He also has the characteristics of a new generation of players. He has an extremely powerful backhand twist. The ball twisted is heavy and spins, which is difficult to deal with, but the speed is not so fast.

In many cases, rotation and speed have to be chosen. In this regard, Fan Xiaodong made a different choice from Lin Zijun.

But after Wang Chao watched several games in a row, he also discovered some problems with Fan Xiaodong.

He still played too easily.

Although compared with when he first met in Liancheng, Fan Xiaodong now has the embryonic form of a complete tactical system, but this system itself is still crude in Wang Chao's view.

Wang Chao had a vague guess.

Probably because of lack of time, Qin Huachang could only imitate Lin Li's method, and temporarily taught Fan Xiaodong a similar system, and let him use it first, because the two people seem to have many similarities at present.

But in the future, with Qin Huachang's ability, he will definitely find the difference between the two disciples, modify Fan Xiaodong's style of play bit by bit, and finally tailor the most reasonable tactical system for him according to Fan Xiaodong's personal characteristics.

At that time, it will be the time for Fan Xiaodong to really spread his wings and fly high.

But now Fan Xiaodong just needs to rely on this temporary system to win the trials.

As for his true strength...

Wang Chaozheng found it difficult to judge, and saw Liang Kunpeng standing opposite Fan Xiaodong.

Chao Wang smiled.

This game is interesting.

Liang Kunpeng and Lin Li are also of the same type, and they happen to belong to the perfect touchstone.

He stood on the sidelines and watched for four or ten minutes, and finally Fan Xiaodong defeated Liang Kunpeng 10:4.

This is a game that surprised Wang Chao.

At the beginning of the game, Liang Kunpeng had the upper hand, because his veneer was of super high quality, the kind that even Wang Chao was difficult to deal with. Naturally, Fan Xiaodong couldn't handle it. Was pierced and fell behind 0:4 at the beginning.

But at this time, Fan Xiaodong began to change his tactics.

He chose the same tactics as Wang Chao, and began to focus on Liang Kunpeng's backhand with a wide angle, forcing Liang Kunpeng to either pull back, retreat, or rub the ball, but did not give Liang Kunpeng a chance to burst.

At this time, the difference between the two can be seen. The 15-year-old Fan Xiaodong actually feels much better than Liang Kunpeng. He controls the ball steadily.

So in the first game, Fan Xiaodong finally pulled the ball back, turning defeat into victory.

When the second game started, Liang Kunpeng also made adjustments. He began to try to run forcibly, turning the backhand ball into a forehand, and then forced a burst.

However, Liang Kunpeng is not a speed player after all, and this tactic is too heavy for him. In the end, he only scored two shots, but because he put too much emphasis on running, he was mobilized by Fan Xiaodong on a large scale, and it became more and more flawed.

So Liang Kunpeng was beaten to death again in the second round.

Then Fan Xiaodong lost the chain.

This is also a common problem for rookies. They may still have the courage to fight to the death when they are at a disadvantage, but once they enter the advantage, they will start to worry about gains and losses, and their mentality will inevitably fluctuate. Gradually cold.

After all, Liang Kunpeng is a veteran table tennis player who has been playing for two years. He is far ahead in terms of mentality and experience. He began to chase points steadily, and the more he played, the more aggressive he was. The total score became 2:2.

At this time, Wang Chao actually felt that Fan Xiaodong was going to lose, because 90.00% of the rookies were unable to stabilize their mentality when they were at a disadvantage. First they were superior, then they were inferior, and most of them would collapse directly.

But Fan Xiaodong miraculously stabilized.

After the fourth game, he ate two bites of bananas. He sat on the chair for a while, looking like he was emptying himself out. After returning to the field, he started to fight frantically.

It is not surprising to fight at this time, after all, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, but the problem is that Fan Xiaodong's success rate in fighting is very high, which shows that he is not jumping the wall in a hurry, but has really stabilized his mind and made it clear In terms of his own tactical style of play, he chose to fight in a very calm situation.

This has to make Wang Chao amazed, because according to the experience of being a coach in his previous life, if a rookie player can make this level of mentality adjustment on his own, then he already has the potential of a world-class player.

None of Huaping's grand slams and big devils over the years has a bad mentality.

When the technique is practiced to the extreme, mentality is often more important than strength.

In contrast, Liang Kunpeng, a veteran, was not stable. He was flustered by Fan Xiaodong's several consecutive fights and wanted to fight back, but his counterattacks were full of loopholes and he committed suicide in various ways. Lost the last two games.

Seeing this, Wang Chao has already determined that Fan Xiaodong will inevitably become his archenemy in the future.

As for Liang Kunpeng, because he was eliminated on the first day, he looked a little depressed at this time, probably because he felt that his luck was too bad. One of the seven guaranteed places to join the team.

But the bosses didn't tell him this, they just wanted him to regret and think about it slowly, so that he could get rid of his stubborn temper and make it easier for him to reform in the future.

It's just that which coach is interested in him, this question has not yet been answered by Wang Chao.
