Ping Pong Life

Chapter 353 Opening of Two-Line Combat Mode

From this afternoon, Wang Chao officially entered a two-line combat mode that he had never experienced before.

Although he had experienced the high-intensity mode of two-line and even three-line combat many times as a coach in his previous life, this time, he still showed the most correct and cautious attitude.

Among them, the most significant change from the previous Opens is that Wang Chao will no longer stay in the arena all day to watch all the games.

He will only pay attention to the games related to himself, and then use all the remaining time to rest, analyze the games and practice, and try his best to preserve his physical strength and maintain the best state while doing his job well.

Because there is really no time, it is rare for Sun Tianlong to help him win such a good opportunity, he must do everything he wants to do at this stop.

If in the past he subconsciously put himself into the overall position of a coach, with a complete matchup table for all competitions and pre-match predictions and analysis for each game in his mind, then now, apart from his own games, his mind There will be nothing else in it.

In fact, this is what a pure athlete should really do in the world arena.

Like he used to, watching the game with He Jingping, discussing and analyzing together, and even instructing and analyzing other players in the restaurant, this is actually a daily routine between coaches and coaches.

Regarding Wang Chao's initiative to return to the status of an athlete, He Jingping did not show much surprise, and quite naturally accepted the reality.

He already knew that his apprentice was an evildoer. If this kind of thing happened to other team members, maybe the teacher would need to take the initiative to remind him, but it couldn't be more reasonable if it happened to Wang Chao.

On the contrary, Tang Yuan Yuan expressed that she was very happy.

Because she is a character who doesn't care about things, she is stupid every day, and she has nothing on her mind. When practicing singles before, she would do whatever Ge Miao asked her to do. Now she is practicing mixed doubles, and she will do whatever Wang Chao asks her to do. What are you doing.

So don't look at her as a female player, but when she comes to the world competition, the one who follows her most closely is not her teacher Ge Miao, but Wang Chao, her male partner. Afterwards, Wang Chao discussed tactics with He Jingping while she was playing with her mobile phone beside her, a proper giant follower.

It's not that she has any objections to Ge Miao, but as a young girl, she is more relaxed with her peers after all. If she is with Ge Miao, she may be taught a little lesson and scolded from time to time. It is very annoying to ask her to pay attention to her manners, to speak civilly, to be polite, to pay attention to sense of propriety, and so on.

It is also because of this that in the last Malaysian Open, she was actually quite critical of Wang Chao.

Why?

Because Wang Chao was too diligent, he didn't rush back to rest after his own game. He watched the ball in the stadium all day long and had to analyze it after watching the game. He even discussed endlessly with He Jingping at lunch and dinner. It's boring and tiring, and I can't talk at all.

She prefers to leave the game alone and go back to the hotel with Wang Chao, either to rest or to practice, if she is really bored, she can say hello to the coach, find a staff member to accompany her, and go out for a walk, after all. Going abroad to play games is like traveling at public expense. If you don’t go anywhere, it’s still a loss.

For example, if you go to Malaysia, you can go and see the world's largest twin towers.

Now in Germany, you can also taste the world-famous German dark beer.

What?You said cute girls can't drink?
Women can do it.

She was too lazy to go back to the room, and accompanied Wang Chao to doze off on the big sofa in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, occasionally watching the sports news scrolling on the big screen. After three o'clock in the afternoon, He Jingping called and asked Wang Chao to go to the game , Tang Yuanyuan also followed in the past.

The venue was very lively, the four tables were being played at the same time, and from time to time, warm applause and cheers burst out from somewhere in the auditorium.

This afternoon's schedule is relatively tight. In the first round of the men's singles, all 32-to-16 matches must be played, and then part of the women's singles 32-to-16 match must be played. Even if four tables are played at the same time, the average table number per There are also six games on the table.

Among them, as long as there is any stalemate in any game on any table, it means that the game on this table will be played until night.

And if you encounter continuous fierce battles, it is not surprising to fight until late at night.

Wang Chao found He Jingping and asked, "Teacher, what's the situation now?"

He Jingping replied briefly: "The situation is not bad. Liang Kunpeng broke out today and killed Sisfield. Next, he will probably fight Lin Zijun. Then Fan Xiaodong defeated Xian Youwen 4-0. The fight was relatively easy. Also, Deutsche's Qiu Shang was eliminated by the first brother in Africa, Alur. Haha, this Alur is really enlightened. This has eliminated Qiu Shang twice in a row. He also bragged before the game that the German men’s singles was in good shape this time, and two of them could enter the semi-finals, but they were directly eliminated in the first round, and the other was Heisfeld, whom he was strongly optimistic about before the game.”

In fact, the men's singles match this afternoon was quite exciting, because Germany is the host country, so Liang Kunpeng's match against Heathfield almost set a current ratings record. After all, Liang Kunpeng played poorly in the previous rounds, so Almost no one is optimistic about him, and he is an absolute upset this time.

And in the afternoon, there are actually many events worth paying attention to. For example, the confrontation between Lu Feiyang and Li Zhengzhi is a battle between the future fighters of Huaping and the popular fighters in Kimchi. In the end, the 15-year-old Lu Feiyang easily defeated Li Zhengzhi. The domestic table tennis circles in Kimchi Country were wailing for a while.

And in the 1/8 district, there was actually an unusual match, Zhu Shixian of Kimchi Country vs. Jinfeng of Jindalai Country. These two countries have the same origin in history, but now they are facing each other from north to south, and there are extremely complicated historical entanglements. Both players are veterans at the end of their careers, and their status and influence in their respective countries are almost the same. They can basically represent the highest level of men's table tennis in their countries.

Therefore, their match also aroused great attention in the domestic table tennis circles of these two countries, and was called by some fans of the two countries "a battle that bets on the dignity of the country".

In the end, it was Zhu Shixian who had the last laugh. With his poor grades in recent years, he gained a lot of fans in kimchi because he won the battle of national character.

In the past, Wang Chao had to pay attention to these other people's games, and sometimes even analyzed a wave of game videos when he was interested, but today he simply hummed to show that he knew, instead of asking Liang Kunpeng in detail How did he kill Sithfield? He didn't care about the singles skills of the mixed doubles master Xian Youwen, and continued to ask: "What table am I at?"

He Jingping took him to the third table, and soon it was Wang Chao's first singles match.

There is nothing to say about this game. Wang Chao’s opponent is an ordinary European player from Spain. He is 33 years old this year and has reached the golden age of his career. The period didn't work, and it was finally swept by Wang Chao 25:4 within 0 minutes.

When Wang Chao finished the game and walked out of the arena, He Jingping told him the expected news: "Bai Feng also qualified, and it was also crushed 4:0. It only took 20 minutes, faster than you."

Afterwards, He Jingping's expression was rarely serious, and he reminded: "Bai Feng is in very good condition this time, you have to be careful."

Wang Chao also nodded seriously: "I understand."

In fact, Wang Chao realized after the grouping situation the day before yesterday that the men's singles match this time was a severe life-and-death test for him, but at the same time, it was also an excellent opportunity to prove his strength.

Bai Feng was in the 7th district, in the same group as Wang Chao, while Lin Li was in the 8th district. According to the general rules of grouping in table tennis competitions, first one of the four in the group will qualify, that is, the quarterfinals will be determined.

然后按照1区vs2区，3区vs4区，5区vs6区，7区vs8区的方式决出四强。

In the end, one person from the upper half and the lower half will enter the final.

This means that if Wang Chao wants to enter the quarterfinals, he must defeat Bai Feng head-on, and if he wants to enter the semi-finals, he must defeat Lin Li head-on.

These are two real civil wars, and two real hard battles.

In the past year, Wang Chao has long intended to meet the main players of Huaping, but in fact, he can see Bai Feng, Lin Li and Xiao Fei every time he participates in the Open, it's just a coincidence By mistake, until now, he has never been able to confront these three people head-on.

The only match where the grouping was particularly suitable and Xiao Fei could almost 100% meet, happened to be Yan Pingan's seed, and Xiao Fei deliberately gave way, but it still didn't work out.

Even if he wanted to meet Lin Li in the Ping Ping Super League, it was because of the erroneous arrangement of the coaches on both sides.In the end, the order of appearance was staggered.

So you see, Wang Chao's luck is actually pretty bad.

He sees farther than the entire Huaping coaching staff, and naturally he sees farther than all the athletes. When he wanted to defeat Xiao Fei, Lin Li and Bai Feng head-on, the Olympics were still far away, and no one realized it. Wang Chao actually wanted to compete for the main force of the Huaping men's team at the age of 18, and it was even more unexpected that Wang Chao would boldly covet the men's singles spot in the Olympics.

So Wang Chao at that time could actually sneak attack. If he met these three people at that time, these three people might still have the heart to underestimate them, at least they would not be too vigilant. easier.

For example, it was the case when he beat Bai Feng at the Huaping Base last year.

At that time, Wang Chao's strength and physical strength were seriously insufficient, and the quality of the ball was also inferior. He was able to win, although he had grasped Bai Feng's character flaws and psychological flaws, but it was not because Bai Feng was too arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

Remember the conversation between the two at that time?
Wang Chao said "offended".

Bai Feng said directly, "You can't offend me".

It looks very masculine and imposing, but in fact this is a proper expression of excessive pride.

If Bai Feng had regarded Wang Chao as his lifelong enemy at that time, how could he have fought so capriciously?No matter how stubborn his nature is, he can still overcome his character flaws when he wants to win.

It can only be said that the psychological contempt combined with the airs that could not be let go caused Bai Feng to be defeated by Wang Chao who had not yet completed the second super evolution.

But it's different now.

Now, Wang Chao's ambition is already Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone inside and outside Huaping knows that he not only won the mixed doubles spot, but also wants to continue to compete for the Olympic men's singles spot. The issue of giving opportunities, in the eyes of the players of the first team of Huaping, is a naked provocation.

Eating what's in the bowl, looking at what's in the pot.

Unreasonable.

Overbearing, rude, arrogant.

No respect for seniors.

Such juniors must be severely taught.

It is conceivable that once the current Bai Feng and Lin Li face Wang Chao, they will probably burst out with more fighting spirit than in foreign wars. For their own glory as Huaping veterans, they must win.

That night, Wang Chao dragged Tang Yuanyuan to practice mixed doubles for a long time, and after Tang Yuanyuan left, he practiced singles for a long time.

He doesn't dare to slack off at all, because according to the current grouping and situation, from now on, all the games he faces will be difficult to play.

When the game starts tomorrow morning, there will be two extremely tough battles.

Mixed doubles 8 into 4: Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan vs Yichuan Mima and Niwa Xiaoxi.

Men's singles 16 to 8: Wang Chao vs Bai Feng.
