Ping Pong Life

Chapter 359 The real test
After reaching the semi-finals in the mixed doubles, Wang Chao did not relax at all. He found an empty table and started practicing. This time, he practiced singles.

Tang Yuanyuan, on the other hand, was free, sat by and watched him play, and complained by the way: "It's just a fight against Baifeng, why are you so serious? Didn't you beat him last year? This time, you didn't just hold your hand."

Hearing this disapproving tone, those who didn't know thought she was the contemporary big devil of women's table tennis.

Wang Chao didn't have time to say anything, but the coach Ge Miao who was following him sternly reprimanded him: "Don't talk nonsense."

Tang Yuanyuan was a little taken aback. She didn't expect her coach to react so strongly. She turned her head to look and found that Ge Miao's expression was stern, and He Jingping beside Ge Miao was also very cautious. Looking at Wang Chao again, Wang Chao was rushing at him. She sneered: "Hehe, long hair but short knowledge."

Tangyuanyuan's teeth were itchy. If there was no coach present, she would have dared to go up and show off her muscles to Wang Chaoliang. But now, the enemy is outnumbered, so she can only bear it.

But no matter how slow she was, she had already realized by this time that Wang Chao's game against Bai Feng might not be as easy as imagined.

In fact, Wang Chao's attitude was even more cautious than she expected, because Wang Chao initially sought out Sun Wenwen as a partner for training, but after practicing for a while, he felt that the intensity was not enough, so he went to find Weng Chunting by himself up.

As for why Weng Chunting was found, do I need to ask?Weng Chunting is recognized by the world table tennis world as the No. 1 straight bar player. Before the official match with the No. [-] bar barter player, isn't it a matter of course to find the second player to practice with?

In fact, Weng Chunting still has a game this morning. He only needs to wait for the four games of mixed doubles with 8 goals and 4 goals in the front, and it will be his turn to play Wolff, the second player in Germany. At the invitation of Wang Chao, I came to practice with Wang Chao.

On the one hand, this is because Huaping in the Hong Kong area is connected with each other, which is a good relationship between the younger brother and the older brother. On the other hand, it is also because Weng Chunting also needs to practice.

He wasn't sure if he could pass Wolfe's level, but if he could, he would have a high probability of beating Lin Zijun in the next level. Lin Zijun, who is so young, has already ranked No. 8 in the world at a young age, compared to Wang Chao's. The rankings are all high, even if this ranking is based on recent intensive competitions, but being able to reach the height of the top ten is still enough to show its strength.

You know, Weng Chunting has debuted for more than ten years, and when he was ranked the highest in the world, he was only No.10.

Most importantly, Lin Zijun and Wang Chao actually have similarities.

Both of them have good touch, flexible minds, similar height and body shape, and a lot of changes in their playing styles. The only difference is that Lin Zijun's backhand has a signature killing board, while Wang Chao does better in continuous attack. better.

In Weng Chunting's view, Lin Zijun is actually somewhat like a simplified version of Wang Chao, and he himself is also a simplified version of Bai Feng, so this wave of mutual training is a proper win-win situation.

This practice lasted for more than an hour, and then the head coach of the Hong Kong District, Cai Guoqiang, approached him and asked Weng Chunting to play on Channel [-].

At this time, the big screen above the stadium also displayed all the mixed doubles matches that had just ended.

Xianyouwen, Che Songxin, the Jindalai team defeated the Peacock Kingdom team and entered the semi-finals.

The beautiful country and the French country rookies pecked at each other, and finally the beautiful country became the tallest among the dwarfs and entered the semi-finals.

Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hannah defeated the only European seeded players Sisfeld and Solga 4:0 and entered the semi-finals.

So the situation was confirmed, Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan's opponents this afternoon will be Xian Youwen and Che Songxin, and the winner will enter the final.

On the other side, if there is no accident, Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hanna should be in a bad game, at least one mixed doubles silver medal has been booked in advance.

Wang Chao didn't pay too much attention to the situation. He recruited Sun Zhongwen to help him practice again. After playing for more than half an hour, he saw the new game situation displayed on the big screen above the stadium. Among them, Weng Chunting defeated Wolff 16:8 and successfully entered the quarterfinals.

He Jingping smiled gloatingly at this moment.

Because obviously, German coach Rorskoff was beaten in the face again.

Everyone has a consensus in all the open competitions, that is, "the host country often has good results." As for why, there are probably two reasons. Does not affect physical condition.

The second is that there are many fans at home, cheering for you when you are in an advantage, cheering for you when you are in a disadvantage, and booing and booing when your opponent is in an advantage, and playing with the opponent's mentality. This is an absolute advantage.

So this time in the German Open, Rorskoff said before the game that we must have at least two players to reach the semi-finals and at least one player to reach the final. Our goal is to keep the Asian championship. Absolutely strong and strong, is the most promising year.

Germany's four seeded players all entered the main match, but two were eliminated in the first round, and now in the second round, another one was eliminated at the beginning, leaving only Bayer as a single seedling.

Bayer was quite competitive. Five minutes after the end of Weng Chunting's game, he also successfully broke through, beating Chinese table tennis player Lu Feiyang 5:4 and reaching the quarterfinals.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Ke from District 1 and Lin Zijun from District 3 also defeated their opponents Zhu Shixian and Liang Kunpeng respectively, and entered the quarterfinals with their heads held high.

Then, it was Wang Chao's turn to play.

The games in districts 5, 6, 7, and 8 started on four tables at the same time. When Wang Chao entered the field, he found that Bai Feng was already waiting on the field.

The two sides shook hands with serious expressions and did not speak. Wang Chao's only impression was that Bai Feng shook hands very strongly, as if with murderous intent.

He looked up over Baifeng and looked back, saw Wang Lu not far from the baffle, met his gaze, smiled slightly, and waved, looking very friendly.

Of course this is all an illusion.

Because Senior Brother Luo Jiu, the most well-informed person in the Huaping Base, just told Wang Chao a very secret gossip before he set off from the imperial capital.

"Little brother, do you know that Wang Lu is secretly studying you. You ask me how I know? Haha, do you think I am Huaping's number one courtesan for nothing? I have countless informants in this base." Ah, as long as you dare to ask, there is no news that I don't know. Seeing that we are both disciples of Lao He, I will give you some definite news. Listen carefully. There are rumors in the world. In order to study you, Wang Lu spent a lot of money. He wrote thirteen pieces of manuscript paper, and just yesterday, he handed over all the manuscript paper to Bai Feng, do you know what this means? Old Wang wants to stab you in the back!"

Wang Chao looked at Bai Feng again. This time, Bai Feng's eyes did not have the proud look of last year. On the contrary, he looked very restrained and low-key, as if he had withdrawn his sharpness.

This is enough to show that Bai Feng's mentality is completely different from last year.

Thirteen sheets of manuscript paper...

Wang Chao thought long and hard, what was written about me on it?

……

"Actually, I didn't think mixed doubles was the main event from the very beginning. What I am most looking forward to today is this match."

In the live broadcast room, Lao Qin said surprisingly: "I dare say, this is definitely a tough battle."

The screen was full of bullets, and a large number of viewers were questioning Lao Qin. As for whether they were really questioning or just trying to raise an argument, or if they wanted to lure Lao Qin to continue lecturing, no one knew.

"No one really thinks that Bai Feng is weak, right? No way, no way?"

Lao Qin is also becoming more and more like an anchor, and after only a few hours of broadcasting, he even learned how to play memes: "Let me tell you, there is a very bad atmosphere among Huaguo fans. When I was a coach, I definitely wouldn't talk about it, but now that I'm retired, it doesn't matter, what I say only represents myself, not the Huaping coaching staff."

"What I want to say is that you always subconsciously underestimate our own players and exaggerate players from other associations. It's just that you don't know it."

"Don't believe it? Then think about it, is Lin Zijun considered a super genius you are optimistic about? Forget it? What about Hook? Also count? What about Pique, also count, right? But let me ask you again, these three Personally, what are the specific achievements of last year?"

"Lin Zijun made it to two finals in total and lost. Pique made it to one final and also lost. Hooker also made it to two finals and lost all. Their best result is two runners-up. There are no gold medals, but you have already started to exclaim that the foreign association has risen."

"And what about our own players? Lin Li won an Open championship in the first half of last year, Bai Feng won two Open championships in a row in the second half of the year before last, and later won a silver medal in the World Cup. I won't talk about Xiao Fei." , ranked second in the world all the year round, and won the singles championship in Malaysia last month, but you don’t seem to realize how good he is at all, when you talk about him, he is a buddhist, unmotivated, and so on.”

"I don't even need to use the main force as an example. I'll just say Yan Ping'an, Fang Xiaobo, and Zou Zhengyu. When you mention them, is your first reaction that you have passed away, have no future, and don't give them a chance? But in fact, you If you look through the resumes of these three people, you will find that they have actually won quite a lot of championships, and some medals are even very important, such as Asian Games champions, Asian Championships champions, National Games runners-up and so on. On the field, in fact, everyone has defeated almost all foreign famous players, and the difference between them and Sun Tianlong is at best that their winning percentage is not high enough, not that they have never won."

"At least the three of them have defeated Sun Tianlong in history, but Bayer, who is hailed by you as the king of Europe, has never defeated Sun Tianlong in his whole life."

"I dare to say responsibly here that if any of Yan Ping'an and the three of them go to Europe to play club games, they must be the absolute main force in a strong team. If they go to Sakura Country to play in the T-League just held, They even have a chance to win the season mvp, but such a character, in your mouth, will make them retire quickly, don't be ashamed."

"It's not fair, audience friends, you are really too harsh on our own players."

"It is precisely because of this mentality that you feel that Bai Feng is weak."

"But in fact, where is Bai Feng weak? Is it because he hasn't won a gold medal in the past year? But if you look at the specific situation, you will find that he actually lost two times in the civil war, and he also lost in the foreign war. But he has also defeated many people, such as Bayer, Michel, and Ochumelov, they are all ranked in the top 20, why do you think he is not worthy of being the main force?"

"Yes, I admit that Wang Chao's comparison is indeed exaggerated. He has been undefeated in a foreign war since his debut, but if it is because of this that Wang Chao can crush Bai Feng, then you are too underestimating the six words of Huaping's main player. Portion."

"Bai Feng may have encountered some setbacks recently and is not at his peak, but you have to know that if he can play from a place like Huaping and secure his position as the main force for several years, then his strength will definitely be Stronger than you think."

"Not to mention, Wang Chao has made it clear that he wants to grab the class and seize power, so Bai Feng has been cornered, and he is desperate now."

"A world-class player who is absolutely explosive, how dare you say he can't do it?"

"I officially announce that the first real test of this year's Deutsche Open is coming for Wang Chao, who is fighting on two fronts for the first time."
