Ping Pong Life

Chapter 222

On the afternoon of February [-]th, Wang Chao followed the Huaping team to the airport by bus, preparing to participate in tomorrow's Hong Kong Open.

He quickly got into the car and sat on the inner side of the seat, leaving an empty seat for He Jingping.

This is actually the tradition of Huaping. When players go out to compete, as long as their head coach is with them, basically no matter whether they are taking a car, boarding a plane or picking a hotel room, they try to have the teacher and students together as much as possible, so that it is more convenient to communicate and discuss tactics at any time.

Anyway, there are many seats on the bus, and there is no such thing as occupying a seat.

But he didn't expect that after a while, before He Jingping came up, Lin Li got into the car first, walked up to him, smiled friendlyly at him, and asked, "Can I sit here?"

Wang Chao was quite surprised, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head and say, "Of course."

He thought that Lin Li had something to say to him.

But Lin Li sat down beside him, lay back, closed his eyes, and began to rest his mind.

Wang Chao was a little confused.

It wasn't until the bus started that Lin Li opened his eyes. He looked around and found that everyone was sleeping on the backrests, then moved closer to Wang Chao, and said in a low voice, "Hello."

Wang Chao turned his head and looked over.

"Have you watched my game?" Lin Li asked in a low voice.

Wang Chao nodded, thought for a while and felt wrong, then shook his head again.

He nodded because he had really seen it. As for shaking his head, it was because he was just watching the fun and hadn't had time to carefully analyze the characteristics of Lin Li's style of play.

After all, the two of them may not be so coincidental.

Lin Li said: "Wang Chao, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to plot against you, let alone inquire about your news, I just want to know, what do you think of my style of play?"

Wang Chao was taken aback.

He looked at Lin Li carefully, only to find that Lin Li was abnormal, his face was very pale red, and he looked very uncomfortable. When he looked down, Lin Li's hand was sticking to his trousers, as if he was helpless. I placed it somewhere, and I was still tearing off the raw edges rolled up on the cushion with my fingers...

So, is he nervous?

Wang Chao thought for a while, and didn't dare to speak nonsense, but asked cautiously: "Why do you ask me this?"

Lin Li said honestly: "My teacher asked me to ask... He said, I have reached the bottleneck period, but in my current situation, he really can't think of any way to help me improve, and you have enough crazy ideas, maybe Can help me find a way."

Wang Chao was a little funny: "I'm just a player, and I'm still a rookie. How could Lao Qin let you ask me about this kind of thing? Are you talking nonsense?"

"No, no, the teacher asked me to ask." Lin Li raised his hand directly, as if swearing: "To be honest, I am also very puzzled, because even the teacher can't solve my problem. But he insisted that I try Try, I can only disturb you."

Wang Chao nodded, expressing his understanding.

Cai Guodong once said a theory to his younger brother Ji Qingsong. He believed that every player is a container with an upper limit of capacity. Huaping coaches choose players with enough capacity instead of current good performance. player.

Sun Tianlong doesn't seem to have any talent, but in fact he has enough capacity to cultivate every indicator of the hexagon to a considerable height, so he can finally become No.1 in history.

He just doesn't seem to be a genius, but he is still a genius in another sense in essence.

Although Lin Li has the talent of strange power and seems to have better aptitude than Sun Tianlong, in fact, the capacity of his container is much smaller than that of Sun Tianlong.

His container can accommodate quality style of play, but not wisdom style of play. If he has to force it into it, it will even cause chaos. Become people like Sun Tianlong and Wang Chao.

He is naturally suitable for playing high-quality balls. If you ask him to do calculations, he will not only fail to calculate those who are naturally good at calculations, but will also lose his basic "high-quality veneer".

Lin Li was able to become the main force of the five. To be honest, Qin Huachang had at least [-]% of the credit.

Qin Huachang had almost completely filled Lin Li's container.

In other words, Lin Li has reached the upper limit.

Qin Huachang wanted to continue to break through, but he couldn't find a way anyway.

So after seeing Wang Chao's miraculous performance in the past six months, he decided to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor and asked Lin Li to ask Wang Chao for advice.

But Wang Chao was curious: "Don't you think your current style of play is very good?"

Lin Li shook his head and smiled wryly: "What's the matter, I'm so stupid in playing, I'm always being laughed at. To tell you the truth, I thought about technical reform, but the teacher refused to let me change, he said that I can only play like this in my life gone."

Wang Chao nodded.

Just because of these words, he was sure that Lao Qin had figured out the container theory.

But what's interesting is that he suddenly discovered that Lin Li's personality was completely different from what he had imagined.

He thought that Lin Li would be like Liang Kunpeng, trusting the quality of his veneer extremely, and refusing to accept other styles of play.

Otherwise, why is Qin Huachang's tailor-made style of play so clearly focused on the quality of the veneer?

But now Wang Chao knows that Lin Li and Liang Kunpeng are two completely different players.

They just look alike, but they're very different.

Liang Kunpeng is extremely confident, almost paranoid, and always feels that the quality of the veneer is king.

But Lin Li kept doubting himself, and even proposed technical reform, but Qin Huachang denied it.

Wang Chao had an idea in an instant.

"Sorry, I just watched your game, but I didn't study it seriously. I couldn't find a clue in a hurry." Wang Chao was very sincere: "Why don't you wait until the game in the port area is over. , When I have time, I will watch your game video carefully again, and if I can see something, I will tell you."

Lin Li was very happy, and thanked Wang Chao. He seemed to want to take the initiative to get closer to Wang Chao, but he opened his mouth a few times, but couldn't find a topic. In the end, he could only lie back, close his eyes, and chose himself. exile.

He didn't know that Wang Chao was completely perfunctory.

Because Wang Chao felt that Lin Li had reached the upper limit.

The upper limit of a player is only to this extent, which proves that he is not a talent that cannot be lost for Huaping.

Then it's not worth cherishing too much.

That's right, Wang Chao still inevitably switched to the coaching mode of thinking. He felt that Lin Li at this level actually had little value in continuing to cultivate. It’s okay, but thinking too much is not good.

So he just wrote a bad check for the sake of the relationship between the two parties.

……

A few hours later, the passenger plane arrived at the port area, and everyone filed out.

Wang Chao had been to this place many times in his previous life, and he didn't feel much freshness when he first came to the noble land. He just lazily followed behind Xiao Fei and Lin Li, two old fritters, while Lu Feiyang, Liang Kunpeng and Gao Mingyuan seemed to be The three curious babies, looking around all the way, almost fell behind, causing the coaches to constantly reprimand them in a low voice.

As a special zone, although it belongs to Huaguo, the Hong Kong District has an independent Table Tennis Association and enjoys the qualification to independently participate in international competitions. Therefore, Huaping players have a subtle attitude towards the Hong Kong players. On the one hand, they feel kind and feel that they are themselves. However, when they actually enter the arena, they still have to beat them to death and treat them as outsiders.

After all, "people who can't lose to people from other associations in the World Series" includes Minato City.

But the Hong Kong side does not have so many complicated thoughts. Their results in the Asian division have always been poor, and they have never thought about competing with Huaping. Train together with the main players, eat and live together, trying to achieve the effect of training in this way.

Hong Kong Ping Ping sincerely regards Hua Ping as the big brother.

Therefore, the staff of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association who came to pick up the plane were extremely enthusiastic. Along the way, some people even asked the players to sign. Even Wang Chao signed three names in a row, which made Lu Feiyang beside him roll his eyes. envy, envy and hate.

And when Cai Guoqiang, the head coach of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association, appeared, the friendly atmosphere between the two sides reached its peak.

You can tell from the name that this guy must have a relationship with head coach Cai Guodong.

In fact, he is Cai Guodong's own brother.

One coach with two teams, respectively in charge of the two major table tennis associations, this is also a good story in the table tennis world.

Huaping coaches Qin Huachang, He Jingping, Zhu Zeshi and others who came with Cai Guoqiang embraced enthusiastically.

But the other person who followed him was completely different. This man took Xiao Fei's hand and shook it desperately, against the cold spring breeze in February, he showed an exaggerated smile, and shouted loudly: "Thunder monkey, handsome."

Afterwards, he shook hands all the way and passed by "Thunder Monkey" all the way, making the team members feel the spring-like warmth and midsummer-like enthusiasm of the fraternity association while being slightly stunned.

He is tall, thin, and has a long neck. When he smiles, he shows two rows of teeth. The splendor is brilliant, but it is a bit too bright, so the whole person looks a bit like a monkey, which makes people look a little funny.

But this person is not a clown. On the contrary, he has a high status. He is the first brother of the men's team in the Hong Kong area, and is also recognized as the world's second Chinese-style candy bar in the table tennis world. His name is Weng Chunting.

Weng Chunting is a genius.

This "strange" does not mean that he is very talented, but that his table tennis career is quite wonderful.

Weng Chunting didn't actually play table tennis when he was a child. He grew up like an ordinary child. When he was in the third grade of elementary school, he suddenly became interested in table tennis for no reason.

To this day, many people speculate that he deliberately chose to play to avoid studying...
How many times he fought against his parents because of this at the beginning is no longer testable, but in the end his parents sent him to the nearest sports school to enroll, but the sports school refused to accept him at first, thinking that he was too old and missed the golden period of laying the foundation .

But Weng Chunting was very persistent, so the sports school decided to give him a test. After the test, the sports school's attitude of rejection became more determined, because they found that Weng Chunting had no talent for playing table tennis.

So Weng Chunting still couldn't escape the torment of studying. He went back to school and took time to practice table tennis while studying.

At that time, the mainstream of the table tennis world was already the horizontal board with double-sided arcs, but Weng Chunting chose the Chinese-style straight board by mistake.

If he had been admitted to the sports school at that time, perhaps the teachers would not have let him choose the candy bar, but because he was rejected and even tested as having no talent, so even his parents didn't bother to interfere with him, and he played whatever he wanted. , only as extracurricular entertainment.

But Weng Chunting gradually made a name for himself by relying on his untalented body and unpopular straight style of play.

When he was almost unable to find an opponent among all the elementary school students in the entire port area, Jiang Hua, then head coach of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association, noticed him.

With Jiang Hua's support, all the pessimistic voices around Weng Chunting stopped abruptly.

For many years, he has been playing with Jiang Hua until Jiang Hua resigned a few years ago and entrusted him to Cai Guoqiang, the new head coach of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association.

Then, Weng Chunting began to explode, and showed his power in the World Series. His total points and world rankings skyrocketed along with his results, and finally became the best.

Today, Weng Chunting is 28 years old, and he is considered a veteran. He is the first local player in the history of the port area to win the medals of the three competitions, and the first local player in the history of the port area to win the individual championship of the Open. The first local player in history to win the men's doubles championship at the Open. In the end, he was also the first local player in the history of Hong Kong to reach the top ten in the world.

Zhuang Huishen claims to be the only player in the Bay Island Division, but in fact, there was Jiang Peirong before him, and Lin Zijun after him.

But Weng Chunting is really the only card in Hong Kong over the years, not one of them.

His personal record is the record of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association.

If he loses, it means the port area loses.

So Cai Guoqiang brought Weng Chunting to pick up the plane, which is really equivalent to the entire Hong Kong Table Tennis Association coming. This sincerity is absolutely beyond doubt.

Weng Chunting is very talkative and friendly, so after the big team stayed in the hotel, the players naturally gathered around Weng Chunting and started chatting about tomorrow's game.

"Tomorrow's game is difficult." Weng Chunting spoke plastic mandarin, with exaggerated expressions and tone, and gestured as he spoke: "Pipi Shrimp is coming, Xiao Lin is coming, Tigger If you want to come, there will also be the uncle from Belarus, Zhang Houhou and Teal from the Sakura Kingdom, really, a lot of people, all of them will come."

Everyone was stunned, and it took a long time to figure out who these people Weng Chunting was talking about.

But Weng Chunting hadn't finished talking yet. He finished selecting players from foreign associations, and started to select Huaping players: "There are also you, Xiao Shoushou, Lin Pangpang, and this friend Lu Xiaopen, oh, I almost forgot , and the worst and worst shaving guy, you are all opponents I have to be wary of."

He spread his hands innocently, and let out a long sigh: "Obviously I'm playing in front of my house, but there's a half chance that I won't make it to the main match. I'm really miserable, and I'll be scolded to death by the audience."

He is actually expressing his worries very seriously, but the problem is that no matter the tone of his speech or the content of his speech, people really cannot empathize. Others are holding back for the time being. As a bear child, Lu Feiyang is the first to speak out. "Pfft", but couldn't help laughing, directly broke the defense.

When he smiled, the others started laughing as if infected.

Only Weng Chunting was confused and didn't know what happened. He pushed Xiao Fei who was familiar with him: "Xiao Shoushou, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Fei covered his mouth with one hand, and kept shaking the other hand at him, panting with difficulty, his face flushed red, and asked Weng Chunting to wait first.

After a long time, Weng Chunting finally figured out the reason of the incident.

"Is it funny?" He blinked his eyes: "I really don't understand where your laughter is."

But in fact, the topic Weng Chunting talked about was quite serious, so after everyone laughed comfortably, everyone began to share the information they collected, and then they felt the tense atmosphere before the first big battle of the year.

First of all, the England Table Tennis Association posted an article on the official Twitter account, and analyzed it, saying that Pique has a 30.00% possibility of winning the championship at [-] this time.

No one knows how the probability that is accurate to two decimal places is analyzed.

The English optimistically believe that Pique's current strength is second only to Sun Tianlong, Luo Jiu and Hu Ke, but Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong are not here, so the only person who can beat him is Hu Ke.

However, Hooker has been on the nerves all year round, and the number of games he played abnormally is much higher than the number of games he played normally, so this time Hooker has a 70.00% chance of losing the chain at [-]%.

Considering that Pique's state is also unstable and easy to fluctuate up and down, and there are two main players among the players sent by Huaping this time, the England Table Tennis Association is not overly optimistic, but after a complex process that no one can understand. After the calculation, a winning rate of more than 30.00% is given.

Of course, this winning rate is not high. If it is Huaping, even 90.00% winning rate is not enough, and it is not [-]%.

But the England Table Tennis Association is actually very weak, so this is the first time they have touched the medal so closely in the past 20 years.

As for the Brazilian Table Tennis Association, it is almost crazy. The Samba people are already overly enthusiastic, and even the celebration ceremony on the forum has begun to be held in advance.

Others open champagne at halftime, they open champagne before the game.

This is justifiable, because the Brazilian Table Tennis Association is much weaker than England, and Hooker was born against the sky. Now that Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu are not here, in the eyes of Brazilian fans, Hooker's gold medal is still worthless. Not safe?
As for the fact that Hook is easy to lose the chain, all of them tacitly forgot.

Anyway, let's drink the champagne first, so when Hook loses the chain, we'll at least earn a bottle of wine.

On the other side of Bay Island, this time it was rare to make a high-profile statement, announcing that Lin Zijun came here for the championship. The reason was that Lin Zijun eliminated Hu Ke in the year-end finals last year. This is an irrefutable fact.

　Thanks to "Xiaotu Mengmeng" for the reward of 100 coins.

　　Sorry guys, there is only one update today, the state is extremely poor, and I feel nothing about writing, probably men have these few days every month, I will try to adjust it tomorrow.
