Ping Pong Life

Chapter 391 You Are A Puppy
On August 08th, the World Cup team competition started on time at 30:[-] local time.

Because of the time difference, it is 09:30 in the evening in Huaguo. This time point is more friendly to the audience and the anchor than the local fans in Houston, because this point is when everyone ends the day's work and study and prepares for the event. Time to relax before bedtime.

Of course, it would be even better if it could be an hour or two earlier.

Qin Huachang opened his live broadcast room on time.

Although the contestant this time has his disciple Lin Li, and although the doctor told him not to stay up late, his son Qin Zhenyu still let go after a fierce ideological struggle.

This is also because the team competition is really not easy to have accidents.

It is possible for one player to have an accident, but it is absolutely impossible for all five players to have an accident.

What's more, looking at the major associations in the world, rational analysis, there is really no one who can fight.

In fact, the biggest sniper attack ever encountered in the history of Huaping came from the German state many years ago. At that time, Bayer was physically strong, experienced, and was at the peak of his career. Wolf and Sissfeld behind him also It was the time when he was young and energetic, with his strong physical fitness and extraordinary talent, he was often able to unexpectedly play the following famous games.

The German Table Tennis Association in those years was really elated, and it was precisely because of being too popular in those years that Rorskoff buried his thoughts of not being with the Huaping coach. But still can't really surpass it.

As for now, although it is said that supernovae are born in large numbers and a great era has begun, if you look closely, you will find that the overall combat power of the whole of Europe has increased, but when it comes to a specific country, the thickness of the bench has actually decreased.

At this time, Qin Huachang was very confident, not only because there were no accidents in the team competition, but also because he had recently relaxed his mind, thinking that he had already reached the level of detachment where he could not worry about everything.

Wang Chao entered the field with the team, showed his face, accepted the warm cheers from the audience, and then returned to the bench to wait for the game.

There was nothing wrong with him today, Luo Jiu, Xiao Fei, and Lin Li, the three main candidates, were all in high spirits. Even the backup Bai Feng had a perfect jet lag yesterday, and he slept for ten hours.

Speaking of it, Wang Chao practiced a little harder by himself.

But it's only a little bit of hard work. After all, Lilith is not determined to win the card. What she enjoys more is playing with Wang Chao. Moreover, Lilith herself was recalled by the Beautiful National Table Tennis Association yesterday afternoon, as the representative of North America. The hardest sister in the team, she is also going to participate in the World Cup.

Other teams followed suit.

The World Cup team competition is not a free registration system, but a qualification invitation system. Simply put, the ITTF selects the most representative twelve strongest teams based on the comprehensive world rankings of the major table tennis associations, and sends out invitations one by one.

And the so-called most representative selection criteria largely come from the latest cup results of each continent.

So for the men's team, the qualified ones are:

Asian champion Hua Guo team.

European champions Germany.

South American champions Brazil.

North American champions America.

Oceania champions Australia.

African champions Nigeria.

In addition, the remaining six teams are determined by the ITTF official comprehensive evaluation, and have been recognized by the table tennis associations of various countries, namely the Sakura National Team, the Kimchi National Team, the Bay Island Provincial Team, the England Team, the Swedish Team, and the Austrian Team. Team.

It's a pity for the Hong Kong team. Although they are eligible to participate independently, the leading brother Weng Chunting's performance in the competition in the past year is really a bit bad. After all, he still lost the selection with an extremely subtle disadvantage.

The latter six teams happen to be three from Asia and three from Europe, which also represents the current geographical pattern of table tennis, which is actually a typical Eurasian confrontation.

But if you want to refine it to the national level, there is no doubt that the whole world is fighting against Hua.

The situation of the women's team is actually similar. If the men's team of an association is strong, most of the women's teams are not far behind. After all, the foundation is there.

But there are nuances. For example, the Kimchi Women's Team did not qualify for the World Cup and was replaced by the Singapore Women's Team.

Then there is the grouping ceremony, which adopts the rule of setting seeds first and then drawing lots. The twelve teams are divided into four groups, with three teams in each group. The second round of draws will be carried out, and the knockout mode of the upper and lower halves will continue until the end.

The men's and women's teams of Huaping are the first seeds of course, and they will not be grouped with strong teams in the group stage. After a lot of tossing, Nigeria and Austria will be grouped with the men's team of Huaping. The Huaping women's team is in a group with the beautiful country team and the Australian team.

And then?
Then it's officially started.

The rules of the team competition are actually very similar to those of the domestic Table Tennis Super League. There are 5 big games, 5 wins from 3 rounds in each game, and three players from each team.

But there are some differences. For example, this year's team competition is different from the previous ones, and there is no doubles event.

Strictly speaking, this change was actually caused by the mixed doubles entering the Olympic Games this year. Because the mixed doubles entered the Olympic Games, its attention and influence far surpassed the men's doubles and women's doubles in an instant. In this case, not only The mixed doubles event was mandatory in the Open, and the other two events of the three major competitions were also affected. For example, the World Cup was directly changed to five singles.

Another difference is that in the fourth and fifth matches of the Table Tennis Super League, you can fight wits, change the order, and predict each other, while the order of appearance in each game of the World Cup is fixed.

Before the start of the game, the referee will directly select the home team and the away team. Assuming that the three singles players of the home team are ABC, and the three players of the away team are XYZ, the specific order of matchups is:
A vs. X
B vs. Y
C vs. Z
A vs. Y
B vs. X
This is common sense, no need to go into details, you know what you know, and it doesn’t matter what you don’t, because Wang Chao didn’t have a chance to play, so the author doesn’t plan to write it in detail, you just need to know, you’re done, you’re done, you’re done, Zero seals and it's over, well, it's that simple.

As the most popular dominant team in the table tennis world, the opening game undoubtedly belongs to Huaping, and the opponent is the Nigerian team from Africa.

African table tennis has always been unpopular, and it belongs to the desert in the desert. In the past many years, the strongest country in Africa has always been Egypt, but do you still remember the famous African brother Alur?
This black buddy, alone, with a racket, a towel, and a pot of water, has traveled all over the world, booked his own air tickets, booked his own hotel, and arranged his own training plan. There are no teammates, no coaches, and no fans to follow, just like this Under the simple conditions, he gradually made his head. This year, the Open broke out in an all-round way. He eliminated the promising No. [-] player Qiu Shang twice in a row, and once reached the top eight men's singles in the Open. His home country called back a World Cup ticket.

It is an honor for the Nigerian team to qualify for the competition, but it is a misfortune for the Nigerian team to be in a group with Huaping.

The entire game took only one hour. In the end, Huaping won three games in a row and defeated the Nigerian team. The score of the three games was 3:0. We played 9 innings, and taking into account the time spent on intermission, changing games and timeouts, the average time per inning is actually only 5 minutes.

Yes, it is that brutal.

It was a bloody massacre.

The attitude of the Nigerian team is very clear. They are here to experience the World Cup, and they don't expect to create miracles. Therefore, they did not have any tricks in the lineup for this game, and they arranged them completely according to their strength.

As for Huaping, team competitions have always been dominated by strength and domineering, but Huaping is not ranked according to strength. The reason is that the relative strength of the main players is ambiguous and difficult to determine, so they are ranked according to the world ranking. .

In short, Alur faced Luo Jiu, and was beaten to death by the legendary double-sided loop ball offensive system with no dead ends in the world. He has a natural supernatural power, but he can't keep up with Luo Jiu's at all. Speed, and it is difficult to adapt to Luo Jiu's changes. Often, just after resolving a strong topspin forehand, he eats a fast and non-spinning backhand. Strong spin.

After the game, Alur was sweating profusely.

But he is actually the most tenacious, because his two opponents didn't resist at all, and they didn't look like they had a fighting spirit. When Xiao Fei and Lin Li launched an attack, the opponent didn't run much. Just acquiesce that I can't handle it.

But when Wang Chao watched the game, he was not looking at the surface.

If the ball looks good, watch the ball, if the ball doesn't look good, watch the people.

The score of this game is very interesting. Luo Jiu beat Alur, and scored 11:3, 11:2, and 11:1. The first game was crushed by strength, and the second game was that Alur was beaten by spirit In the third game, Alul's mentality has actually collapsed, and the bald head is close in front of him, but Luo Jiu deliberately sent a suicide shot in the end, which can be regarded as saving the face of the black buddies.

This shows that Luo Jiu's mentality is quite peaceful, and he has no hostility. Facing this cruel game, he just wants to win as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to bully anyone, let alone humiliate him.

After that, Xiao Fei played more easily, but the score was slightly higher than Luo Jiu, one game 11:2, one game 11:3, one game 11:4. Score more than one inning.

Naturally, it wasn't that Xiao Fei couldn't do it, but that he started to follow Buddhism again. He didn't want to play too rigorously in such a situation where he was sure to win.

Until Lin Li played in the last game.

Among the five main players of the national team, Lin Li is known to be introverted and kind-hearted, but this time he was extraordinarily fierce. He went up and directly beat his opponent 11:1, and the next two rounds were all 11:0, showing no mercy at all. , Even if the black buddy on the opposite side didn't want to win, he beat him badly, but because of his dark skin, he couldn't see the redness on his face.

Wang Chao saw Lin Li's murderous intent from it.

Undoubtedly, being zero-blocked by himself at the German Open deeply stimulated this kind man.

At this time, Lin Li was like a sharp sword, always wanting to jump out and kill people. The one he really wanted to take revenge was naturally Wang Chao, but there was no chance now, so he could only release his murderous intention on his little brother in Nigeria first. Some, so as not to suffocate myself.

"Lin Li is like this, what about Bai Feng?" Wang Chao was very curious about this, because it was obvious that Bai Feng's character was more aggressive and domineering. Even Lin Li wanted revenge, so Bai Feng must have a stronger fighting spirit.

Facing the Olympic Games held every four years, no one will give up lightly, because the careers of athletes really don't have a few four years.

At this time, Wang Chao suddenly felt that someone had patted his shoulder. Turning his head to look, it was Tang Yuanyuan who slipped over from the women's team during the interval after the game.

Tang Yuanyuan is not one of the five women's team players, she is essentially a spectator, relatively free, since she parted ways with Wang Chao at the airport on the [-]th day, this is the first time she met Wang Chao today, and she slipped over now, naturally There is business.

"What's the situation over there?" It was too noisy in the gymnasium, Tang Yuanyuan whispered in Wang Chao's ear.

Wang Chao said: "Everything is normal."

"Lao Cai mentioned my achievements to you, right?" Tang Yuanyuan was very proud, and raised an eyebrow at Wang Chao: "Let me tell you, I have been tossing him a lot these days, no matter how he beats me No, he asked me to cooperate, but I deliberately did not cooperate. He asked me to discuss, no matter what he said, I said he was wrong, if he wanted to be reasonable, I said you taught me, and then he stopped talking gone."

Wang Chao had a strange expression.

He could completely imagine the complicated mood of that Kazik player.

I thought I found a thigh, but in the end I found a mother.

In fact, Tang Yuanyuan's heart is simple, and she thinks that many of the hidden tricks are clearly seen by others. Kazik must have seen Tang Yuanyuan's lack of cooperation, and guessed why Tang Yuanyuan did not cooperate. In this case Now, the 19-year-old boy was able to reason with Tang Yuanyuan calmly every day, and he didn't continue to complain to Lao Cai, nor did he expose Tang Yuanyuan face to face, which actually proves that his character is still good.

In fact, Wang Chao made a special inquiry later, and it was not Kazik who sued on the night of the [-]th, but Kazik's personal trainer.

But Wang Chao didn't want to persuade Tang Yuanyuan to change his attitude, because his heart was actually quite warm.

What Tang Yuanyuan did was indeed unethical to the beautiful country players, but to Wang Chao, it was equivalent to a very clear statement.

In the final analysis, because she agrees with Wang Chao as a partner, she is dissatisfied with being dismantled, so she keeps playing with her temper. She does things a little like a child, but this kind of punching can't be faked. Discuss with herself, and once secretly ask herself to show her merits, it shows that her recognition and trust in herself is even higher than that of her teacher Ge Miao.

As a partner, Wang Chao is very grateful.

So he felt a little embarrassed, because he had really practiced hard with Lilith these two days, but for some reason, the effect was mediocre.

"Tell me, what's going on with you over there." Tang Yuanyuan bumped him with her shoulder.

Wang Chao sighed: "Let me tell you, that Lilith, she is very sincere, and she is indeed my die-hard fan... I don't want to deliberately sabotage, I can only practice with her."

He was afraid that a few simple sentences would not be convincing, so he hurriedly recounted all the interactions with Lilith on the first day to increase his persuasiveness.

He thought it would be enough to present the objective facts, but in the end, Tang Yuanyuan's eyes widened, she looked at Wang Chao for a long time, and said in disbelief, "Didn't I warn you specifically? In the end, you were still corroded by sugar-coated shells?"

Wang Chao shook his head: "Didn't I explain it, this is not a sugar-coated cannonball..."

But Tang Yuanyuan didn't reason with him, snorted, and cursed: "Hang yourself on the hook, and you can't change it for 100 years. It's a puppy who lied to you. You are a puppy."

She turned around and slipped away quickly.

Wang Chao stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was empty. He shouted: "You come back..."

But Tang Yuanyuan, who has always been very obedient, was disobedient this time, and ran away without looking back, and was quickly submerged in the crowd of the gymnasium.

Wang Chao was stunned, and withdrew his hand, feeling a little lost at this moment.

He was still a single dog in his 40s in his last life, and he hadn't had much contact with girls after time travel, and he treated Tang Yuanyuan more like a buddy, but at this moment he suddenly realized that Tang Yuanyuan was still a girl after all, Unlike her buddies who are so easy to coax, she still loses her temper and makes her petty.

Girls don't seem to be as reasonable as boys, they are more emotional.

Wang Chao had an ominous premonition that if he didn't do something, something big might happen.

He sat there for a long time, and he didn't wake up from the state of introspection until the next game officially started.

In the professional field, he is a ruthless and ruthless person. If he should be framed, he will be framed, if he should be abolished, he will be abolished, if he should fight, he will lie. He has never had the slightest psychological burden, because he knows that in the field of competition, winning It is the supreme truth, and you can use any means to win. For example, Qin Huachang, you can say that he is a bad person, but you can never deny that he is a top-level strongman.

But in life, Wang Chao has always wanted to do everything, and he always thought he could do it.

But now he finally realizes that life is no different from table tennis, and sometimes there is no way to have both.

His expression gradually became firmer.

　Thanks to "big's big" for the reward.
