Ping Pong Life

Chapter 395 Good Sign and Good Luck

After saying these words, the conference room was quieter than before, after a long time, it was the acting coach Sun Tianlong who participated in this kind of meeting for the first time broke the silence, he said: "Coach He, are you sure Wang Chao thinks so? "

He Jingping glanced at him and said with a smile, "I'm sure."

Sun Tianlong nodded, smiled suddenly, and felt a little relieved in his heart.

In today's meeting, he was actually very stressed, especially when the coaching staff discussed the game between Lin Li and Hook just now, his emotions were very complicated.

Because he knew very well that that game once again lowered Cai Guodong's evaluation of Lin Li, and also made Lin Li fall into a more unfavorable situation in the Olympic men's singles competition with Wang Chao.

Originally, Lin Li shouldn't have fallen into this predicament.

Because Wang Chao was originally not eligible to participate in the Swedish Open in April, nor was he eligible to sign up for the men's singles event in the German Open in July.

Without these two open matches, Wang Chao would have no chance to prove how strong he is, let alone a chance to make a clean sheet against Lin Li.

These two opportunities were given to Wang Chao by Sun Tianlong on his own initiative, and he even helped Wang Chao forcefully win the latter opportunity from Cai Guodong by relying on his own face.

In a sense, he is indeed an enemy, after all, he is Lin Li's direct coach now.

Sun Tianlong has a clear conscience, because he really thinks that Wang Chao is more talented and has a better future. After the shocking match in the Table Tennis Super League in March, he has already acquiesced that Wang Chao will become a new generation of big devil in the future.

But for Lin Li, his real junior, he felt guilty.

He thought about it, but couldn't think of a way to make it up.

Before He Jingping made a suggestion, he thought of this method: give Lin Li another chance to prove himself, let him fight Wang Chao again, at least, give him a chance to possibly meet Wang Chao.

But he didn't dare to mention it, because he was just upright and open, but he didn't know the rules at all. He could break the sect's opinion, but he couldn't force others to break the sect's sect - that's right, it was you, Zhu Zeshi...

Seeing that He Jingping stood up and offered to propose, Sun Tianlong finally dared to be sure that his goodwill had not been let down.

The pair of masters and apprentices of Zhumen are worthy of my deep friendship.

He also strengthened his belief at this moment and no longer hesitated.

"Since this is the case, I don't have to worry about so many unnecessary worries anymore."

"Having helped Wang Chao so much, now, it's time for me to help my junior as well."

"Wang Chao, don't blame me if you fail this time in the Brazil Open."

The next day, Cai Guodong announced the unanimous decision of the coaching staff.

"In the Brazil Open in a week's time, except for Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong, Huaping will send all the main players to play. Please practice hard and prepare well. This gold medal must be won."

In fact, the last sentence is to divert attention, because the coaches are very clear that in the current tense situation, once the main force of Huaping is exhausted, the Open Championship of a mere ordinary station is bound to be won.

So what everyone really wants to see this time is not whether the gold medal will be left behind, nor what is the situation of the Swedish players Morad and K. Michel, but what kind of results Wang Chao will get in this test. score.

Obviously, he couldn't lose to Bai Feng and Lin Li, otherwise the internal competition would become ambiguous again.

Of course, he can't lose to the foreign association, because when considering the qualifications for the three major competitions, the foreign war ability is far greater than the civil war ability.

Considering that Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong will not participate.

So in fact, Wang Chao was pushed to a dead end before he knew it, and there was only one way to pass the exam: to win the championship.

……

"nervous?"

"not nervous."

"Are you confident?"

"Have confidence."

"Confidence to win or confidence to lose?"

"Um, coach... If I say I lose, will you punish me?"

This conversation took place between Tang Yuanyuan and Ge Miao.

It was mid-August at this time, and the Chinese table tennis team had already arrived in Brazil in a mighty manner, and was intensively warming up and preparing for the next game.

Brazil has a tropical and subtropical climate, and its weather conditions are completely different from those of Huaguo. At this time in August, Huaguo is in the season of fire, but here it is winter.

Of course, the tropical winter is actually between more than 20 degrees and more than [-] degrees. According to the opinions of the Huaping people, it is no different from the late spring and early summer, and it is very comfortable.

The beautiful country players also arrived in Brazil on the same day. As cross-matched mixed doubles partners, Lilith and Kazik joined Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan for the first time.

It's just that Kazik at this time is obviously desperate for Tangyuan, and he doesn't have much hope for this competition. Although he still maintains a basic demeanor on the surface, he is no longer as enthusiastic as he was in Houston last month. Invited Tangyuanyuan to practice together, but simply made an appointment to meet before the game, then said goodbye and left.

He lay flat.

As for Lilith, she wasn't focused on the competition at all, and the first time she met Wang Chao, she began to ask about her health, whether it was hot or cold, whether she was used to eating or not, if she wanted to go out to play, and so on.

It can only be said that as a mother fan, she is very qualified.

After the last incident, Tang Yuanyuan gave up her hostility towards Lilith and chatted with her. Hearing her talk about various attractions and delicacies in Brazil, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up and asked if she could go out with her. , and was scolded by Ge Miao who followed behind.

"What are you playing, there are still games to play."

"If you can't win the game, you can't go anywhere."

What follows is the conversation at the beginning of this chapter.

Tang Yuanyuan was very depressed, because she really didn't have any tasks when she came to Brazil this time, she was really bored.

She can't sign up for singles, and she can't play doubles with Wang Chao. It's meaningless to accompany this Kazik. She intends to deliberately lose the first match, and then she can be a qualified Chinese tourist.

But there was no one to accompany him, because Wang Chao still had men's singles to play.

So after much deliberation, if he wanted to not be bored in the next few days, he would probably have to follow behind Wang Chao as a follower.

After all, watching other people's games is meaningless, it is better to watch Wang Chao's games.

In the evening, the men's singles group draw ceremony was held as usual.

For Wang Chao, this time he finally doesn't have to match others.

He successfully reached the ninth place in the world and became a seed himself.

In fact, Huaping’s big money this time was completely unexpected by foreign associations, because the Brazil Open is really not important. There are 5 platinum stations in the first 4 stations, followed by the World Table Tennis Championships of the three major competitions. In addition to the Portuguese Open, which is as unimportant as him, the Peacock Country Open in October will be a platinum station.

It can be said that the previous, left, and right games all have higher prize money and higher points than it. This station is not attractive at all, and just after the World Cup, the players of the major table tennis associations are very tired, causing most of the world's table tennis experts to They all chose to miss this stop.

Hook, for example, is busy transferring and will report to China in August.

For example, Water Bird Eagle is also busy transferring, and filled in the hole left by Hook in advance.

For example, Bayer has just returned from North America and does not want to fly to South America again.

For example, Lin Zijun, after completing the super-evolution, is practicing new mixed doubles tactics with Zhen Jing in retreat.

For example, K. Michel, who claimed to have some insight after playing the World Cup, went to retreat with Lao Wa again.

For example, Pique... Well, Pique is here this time.

In fact, among the top 20 foreign association players in the world, only Pique and Zhang Benkang chose to participate, because one of them was absent for too long, and the other's performance was too poor. If they don't earn more points, they will fall off the list up.

Even Qiushang from Germany and Arul from Nigeria, who have not yet entered the list, have chosen to take a vacation. This is the face of the Brazil Open. It cannot be said to be very small, but it can only be said to have none at all.

Therefore, the ITTF and the Brazilian Table Tennis Association are very puzzled. They don’t understand what Huaping is here for. If this is a fantasy novel, you can still explain that there is a treasure in Brazil that is about to be born, but the problem But this is a sports novel, so ITTF officials were confused.

Could it be that the gold medal of the Brazilian Open is not gold-plated, but pure gold?
After the chairman was puzzled, he actually called the Brazilian Table Tennis Association to ask the above question. As a result, the chairman of the Brazilian Table Tennis Association developed rich associations. He suspected that the following people wanted to use This way of money laundering or smuggling of gold, after a careful investigation, it was finally found that there was nothing wrong with it.

In short, when the eight divisions are divided according to the world rankings, fans all over the world feel very peaceful.

why?

Because the seeds of 8 of the 5 groups are the main players of Huaping, even Fan Xiaodong got a seed seat.

The remaining three are Pique, Morad, and Zhang Benkuang.

Besides, who else participated in the competition?

Fans from various countries glanced at it, oh, very good, most of them don't know each other, they don't know what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates they are, hey, no, those few seem to be crooked melons and cracked dates from our country?Forget it, it doesn't matter, because obviously, even if they make it to the main match, they are destined to be cannon fodder.

Therefore, if there is no accident, these eight seeds are basically the final eight. As for those who will be added to the group later, no matter how famous or powerful they are, they are probably just cannon fodder in the end.

You see, we foreign fans have been desperate for the players we support from the very beginning, and we are ready to watch the Huaping Civil War. It doesn't matter who wins. It has nothing to do with us anyway. Wouldn't the mood be calm?

But the lottery ceremony is still going on, and there are always some players and fans who have dreams in their hearts, so as the match table is filled up bit by bit, the exclamation of the audience is still one after another.

Ten minutes later, the list of the top 10 players in the main match was confirmed. Wang Chao was quite surprised to find that his luck in signing this time was actually very good, because he was in the upper half, and the relatively difficult Bai Feng, Both Lin Li and Fan Xiaodong are in the lower half. In addition, there is another x factor in the lower half who has just left the customs and whose strength is not yet clear: Pique.

Of course, because there are too many seeded players in Huaping, it is impossible to completely avoid them. The hard bone that Wang Chao encountered here was Xiao Fei.

After another half hour, it was the mixed doubles draw.

There are very few mixed doubles registration teams for this open competition, only 15 pairs in total, not even the number of the top 16, but the amazing thing is, apart from Lin Zijun and Zhen Jing who practiced hard in retreat, the world table tennis is relatively strong Several combinations actually came.

Two pairs of Sakura Country, Zhang Benkang and Hayata Hanna, Ikawa Mima and Nikubo Takaki.

A pair from Hong Kong, Weng Chunting and Ai Qin.

There are two pairs of Jin Dalai, Jin Feng and Jin Zhong, Xian Youwen and Che Songxin.

There are also two Huaping substitutes who have never participated in international competitions, Lu Feiyang and Shen Sha, Gao Mingyuan and Wang Yu.

Finally, there are two multinational groups, Wang Chao and Lilith, Tangyuanyuan and Kazik.

Obviously, this must be because the news of the forced demolition of the Tang Dynasty combination has spread, which has caused all the powerful combinations of these foreign associations to see the opportunity. They don't think that the Brazilian Open is small in scale and has little prize money, so they want to take advantage of the tiger's nap. The next gold medal is coming.

Soon after the lottery was drawn, Tang Yuanyuan sighed beside Wang Chao.

"What's wrong?" Wang Chao asked.

Tang Yuanyuan shook her head: "It's very difficult... Tomorrow, Kazik and I will face a rookie group from Luxembourg. My God, does anyone in Luxembourg know about mixed doubles? In order to lose quickly, I may have to play very hard." Just use your strength."

She glanced at Wang Chao's side again, feeling envious spontaneously: "You are so lucky."

Wang Chao could only smile wryly. He didn't know whether it was good luck or not, because he and Lilith met his old acquaintances and enemies, who he currently thought were the only players in the international arena except Huaping. The strongest combination outside: Xian Youwen and Che Songxin.

I was still hesitating whether to win a game or lose directly, but now I don't need to hesitate at all, I should work harder tomorrow and try not to get my head shaved.
