Ping Pong Life

Chapter 328
In the following days, Wang Chao began to work hard at the national team training base.

Then he discovered that it was reasonable for Qin Huachang to plot against him and put a layer of mixed double shackles on him in advance.

Although Cai Guodong has never said that mixed doubles players cannot compete for singles places, the importance of the Olympic mixed doubles gold medal has been raised to a too high level by the coaching staff. Military order.

This also caused a problem: since he returned to the imperial capital, he was forced to practice mixed doubles with all his strength.

This guy will not avoid practicing just because of how good his skills are. After all, if you do well, your partner must also do well, and if your partner wants to do well, you must practice with him. Practice to cooperate.

So even if there is nothing wrong with Wang Chao, he still has to accompany different Xiaohua to constantly try various combinations and tactics, and has no time to train his own singles.

Of course, he can also practice in his free time after dinner, but the problem is that he is not an iron man after all, if he continues to practice like that, he will die.

So after seeing Wang Chao these days, He Jingping began to show a sorry and ashamed expression. He still felt that he had fallen into Lao Qin's tricks and screwed up Wang Chao's career plan.

But in fact, facing this expected situation, Wang Chao's real thought was: who cares?

He really doesn't care about singles practice.

There is a saying in Huaguo that goes, "You never leave your fists and your tunes never leave your mouth." From the perspective of others, if Wang Chao doesn't practice singles for three days, he will be handy; if he doesn't practice singles for a week, he will regress; Can't beat them all.

But in Wang Chao's case, this common saying is not interpreted in this way.

Although he is practicing mixed doubles, he is still practicing the ball in essence. It's not like he hasn't touched the ball since then. How could his hands be born?
As for mixed doubles and singles, the emphases are different, and the technical points are also different. Yes, this is true, but this level of difference is only valid for ordinary players. For him, who naturally has perfect-level skills and perfect-level stability As far as the players are concerned, it is not a problem at all.

Don't forget, in the final of the Swedish Open, he played against Fan Xiaodong in the third game. That kind of playing style of chasing the ball without moving his feet at all has already represented that he has reached the "invincible level" technically. Trick" realm.

He has already crossed the stage of "practicing a posture counts as a posture" and "practicing a movement counts as a movement". He has already reached the point where he can do whatever he wants in terms of technical emphasis and posture adjustment. That is to say, he There is actually not much difference between practicing mixed doubles and practicing singles. In the final analysis, it is just to maintain the touch and maintain muscle memory.

So he is very calm.

It's just that how to play in the mixed doubles, he is currently a bit pained.

Because he hasn't been able to determine who his partner is for the time being, so he can't bring out his previous life experience and enter an effective training mode with his partner.

So he just cooperates with routine every day, trying to form a team with many florets, and the florets have different technical indicators and height parameters, so Wang Chao is very tired to accompany him. In addition to maintaining the touch, it can be said that this kind of chaos In his opinion, the training in the mode does not have much practical significance.

He should be practicing physical strength and strength.

However, the Huaping coaching staff found it very meaningful. They got together and watched Wang Chao's training effects every day, and then discussed the strategies and tactics of mixed doubles intensely. Come up with a correct and feasible path.

In this way, Wang Chao was dumbfounded and became the experimental product of the verification example. The florets can still rotate, but he is a single seedling. He is really a hard-working floret.

But his pains are pains, but he can understand it in his heart.

After all, mixed doubles is really troublesome, and the coaching staff really does not have a complete and mature plan. From this point of view alone, the ITTF's mixed doubles this year has really hit the seven inches of Huaping, because Only in this matter, Huaping and foreign associations are basically on the same starting line, which also makes it possible for foreign associations to surpass Huaping.

So, where is the complexity of mixed doubles?
Simply put, the biggest difference between doubles and singles is that coordination is far more important than individual skills.

The most important aspect of cooperation is tacit understanding.

This is also the reason why many singles big devils have not been able to achieve good results in doubles over the years.

In the past 20 years, regardless of the Open Championship or the three major competitions, there were very few mixed doubles events, and no country paid much attention to them. However, men’s doubles and women’s doubles are still very common, so there are also a group of doubles specialists in the national team. In singles, they were completely abused by the five main players of the national team, but after they formed a partner, they were able to defeat the temporary team ranked No. [-] and No. [-] in the world head-on.

So don't think that doubles is very simple, it just doesn't advocate individual heroism, so it will be underestimated by the audience subconsciously, but in fact, it is very technical, and even because there are more players in the field, it will affect the parameters of the outcome The more it is, the tactical and strategic aspects of it are far greater than singles, and there are so many details that it is simply outrageous.

The technical content of mixed doubles is much higher than that of men's doubles and women's doubles.

Because there is a natural and irreparable gap between male players and female players in terms of strength and speed.

There is a public opinion within Huaping: The world's number one women's singles player is theoretically only as strong as the average player of the men's table tennis team, or even slightly inferior.

Yes, it's that outrageous.

So the essence of mixed doubles is a pair of partners with a very large gap in strength against a pair of partners with a large gap in strength.

It is equivalent to carrying a drag oil bottle on one side, which is really weird.

The men's doubles and women's doubles matchups are still essentially evenly matched. Whether they cooperate or switch between offense and defense, they are on the same level. They can also understand each other when talking about tactics, so forming a tacit understanding is very simple.

But male players and female players are not on the same level at all, so what is the right way to do it?When it comes to the actual game, who should I listen to?

Over the years, there have been two views within Huaping.

First, it is backward compatible, allowing male players to reduce the quality and speed of the shot, focusing on stability, and achieving a relative balance with female players.

Second, it is upwardly compatible, allowing female players to assist the whole process, all the dirty work is covered, and the offense is all handed over to male players.

These two styles of play are obviously unbalanced, but what is amazing is that over the years, the occasional temporary mixed doubles have won almost all the gold medals.

The reason why this can be achieved, in the final analysis, is that the Huaping women's team is too damn tough.

Female players at the level of top3, even in 1v1 with the main male players of foreign associations, have a relatively high winning rate. The male player of the team was held back, and our male player can beat the opponent's female player violently. In this way, of course, he can directly penetrate.

And when Huaping chose to be upwardly compatible, our female players have too comprehensive and powerful skills. She can really do the dirty work to the point of leaking, so that the male players can let go of the attack without any scruples.

To put it bluntly, Huaping's mixed doubles has always been a purely technical crushing style of play. When everyone has not figured out how to play mixed doubles, relying on this set is enough.

But now that mixed doubles is in the Olympics, it is no longer just an empty honor and a worthless gold-plated medal, but has formal economic value. In the past, players from foreign associations did not study mixed doubles because they did not make money. , It is not easy to find a personal sponsor.

But now, with such huge benefits, there will inevitably be a group of professional mixed doubles players in the true sense, and there will inevitably be sponsors from large foreign companies entering this track, trying to overtake Huaping in a corner.

Then Huaping is of course forced to become professional.

"Do you know, someone asked me to bring you a message." On this day, Qiu Yinong chatted with Wang Chao after leading his disciples to train.

Since Wang Chao guessed his pig raising strategy last time, he has been very interested in Wang Chao. Today, he still only said half of what he said, and wanted to see if Wang Chao's reaction was so magical.

As it turns out, it's really amazing.

"You didn't agree?" Wang Chao asked back.

Qiu Yinong nodded.

"So, who is the teacher among Wang Yu, Shen Sha, and Chen Tong?" Wang Chao asked again.

Qiu Yinong was really shocked: "Do you know what it is?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Wang Chao said casually while wiping off his sweat, "The only sure candidate for the mixed doubles right now is me, so whoever cooperates best with me in the women's team will be able to play. After winning the Swedish Open, he couldn't justify his selection. Now the coaches under him are arguing every day, and no one is willing to give up. He is probably going crazy, just waiting for our men's table tennis team to give him an assist. .”

Qiu Yinong had no choice but to accept, nodded and said: "Actually, it's not just the result of the Swedish Open that was unexpected, the results of the women's team's internal round-robin assessment in the past two days are also outrageous. It's a lot of upsets. The three people that Lao Wang is most optimistic about , one is temporarily ranked third, one is temporarily ranked fifth, and the other is directly behind No.10. In this case, if Lao Wang wants to force the assignment, I am afraid it will not work."

This is also a special tradition of Huaping. The head coach has a high position and authority and can be assigned occasionally, but at least it must be justified on the surface. If you cover up completely nakedly, then the coaches under you will still make trouble.

After all, everyone wants to save face. It is okay to fight without breaking, but not to be completely partial. Once this delicate balance is broken, the various undercurrents inside Huaping will not be able to suppress it.

When the two of them talked about this, they both felt gloating. After all, Wang Wendong was known as the Great Demon King at the time, and he also suppressed a group of people severely. Wang Wendong also beat him to tears during team training, and now thinking that Lao Wang is struggling, the only feeling is cool.

"If I call the roll call now, will that accept it?" Wang Chao asked.

"Of course." Qiu Yinong nodded with a smile: "Wang Chao, you underestimate your current influence, you can transfer me from western Sichuan to the imperial capital with a single sentence, and assign a small female mixed doubles partner , It’s not like a game, you just need to open the mouth of the mouth, Lao Wang promises to find the reason immediately, and the person will be sent to your door in a hurry.”

As he spoke, his expression became obscene, and he smiled, leaving Wang Chao quite speechless.

Of course, Qiu Yinong is not a pervert. He showed this expression because everyone in Huaping has recently circulated that the women's team is choosing Wang Chao's concubine with great fanfare.

It is impossible to test who said this first, but the first person to spread it was undoubtedly Luo Jiu, the number one mouthpiece of Huaping, and after he spread it, this kind of statement began to spread like a plague. Later, even a serious person like Zhu Zeshi was taken away. Yesterday, when he met Wang Chaoshi in the cafeteria, he casually greeted him and asked, "Wang Chao, is the matter of choosing a concubine still unsolved?"

Wang Chao was very confused at the time.

And Zhu Zeshi immediately realized that he had said something wrong, coughed dryly, and asked again solemnly: "Is your partner still undecided?"

What Zhu Zeshi asked is not important, what is important is that he said the wrong thing in a relaxed state, it can be seen how many people should have mentioned the word "chosen concubine" in his ears these days, and he is in private How many times have you said this word before you get so used to it that you just open your mouth.

I'm really terrified when I think about it...
