Ping Pong Life

Chapter 414

On the second day after the roster of the 12-member National Congress was officially released, the Chinese table tennis players will go to Pengcheng City, Guangdong Province.

Yes, the venue of "The Strongest 12 Players on the Surface" is not held in the imperial capital, but each session is different, because this internal selection of the World Table Tennis Championships was originally just for the principle of fairness, because it was too successful, The voice of domestic fans is too high, and it has already become one of the most successful commercial events in Huaguo table tennis.

This year, it was jointly hosted by the Chinese National Table Tennis Association, Pengcheng Culture, Radio and Television, Sports, and Tourism Bureau, and the domestic Internet giant Penguin Sports.

Today's Luohu Gymnasium is full of people and lively. All the open seats are basically full. The director swept the camera all the way from the auditorium, and the fans on the scene burst into exclamations, because there are too many people. Many big names in table tennis came to the scene to watch the game.

Most of the coaches and players of the Pengcheng table tennis team are sitting in the stands, and most of the coaches and players of the Guangdong table tennis team are also sitting in the stands. People, as well as several coaches and sparring partners of the Huaping National Team, as well as the national team players who were not selected for the 12-man squad, and then, there are relevant leaders at all levels in the sports circle.

There are even many foreigners shouting excitedly, although they can't understand what they are shouting at all.

Among these people are die-hard foreign fans, as well as professional players from foreign associations.

It can be said that the "Surface Direct Tournament" has already become a grand event in the Huaguo table tennis circle and even the world table tennis circle. Above the three major competitions.

why?
Because the three competitions are Chinese players fighting against foreign players, and the through competition is a civil war between Chinese players.

"National championships are harder to win than world championships", this sentence has long been the consensus of Chinese table tennis players.

That being the case, this means that the 12 players at the highest level in Huaping currently fight each other, and the No. 1 that is finally determined is naturally the well-deserved strongest player on the surface.

You see, the name of the event actually says it all.

But what really excites the fans today is actually two more points.

The first is today's live broadcast commentator, Qin Huachang.

In previous years, there are usually two arrangements for the on-site commentary of the surface direct competition. One is to let the CTV officials send people directly. Most of the time, it is Yi Jing and Grasshopper.The other is to directly find former professional players who have retired to comeo.

But this year is a special situation. Qin Huachang broke into the live broadcast circle and became the uncrowned king of the table tennis live broadcast circle in just a few months. He is known as the world's first professional table tennis commentator. The account was not sealed by fans of Huaguo, but by fans of the world.

For such a grand event, who is more qualified to sit on the commentary stage than Qin Huachang?

Qin Huachang is from Yangcheng City, Guangdong Province. Yangcheng is only an hour's drive away from Pengcheng. Even though this boss is out of work due to illness, the competition has been delivered to his doorstep. How can he not come to play a cameo?
In the past, Qin Huachang probably would have hesitated a bit. After all, Lin Li and Fan Xiaodong participated in the competition this time, so he would worry about gains and losses, but now he has relaxed his mind, so his son Qin Zhenyu didn't stop him. Instead, he was busy all the time. Cooperate, because Qin Zhenyu knows that only by living in the world of table tennis will his father be full of motivation to live. If Qin Huachang is not allowed to touch table tennis, no matter how good he is taken care of, no matter how much he can eat on time. If the medicine sleeps on time, he will also become a fish out of water and die of thirst.

This is the fate of a lifetime, cut off constantly, it is better to be sparse than to be blocked.

The second point that makes fans particularly excited is the specific selection method of this tournament.

The selection of the through competition is very flexible. In the past, the coaching staff has made many strange attempts, such as eliminating the whole process, such as bloody battles to the end, and so on, but this time the rules are extremely simple and bloody. It is the most simple and simple team. Inner circulation, and two rounds of circulation.

In four days, 12 players, two rounds of big rounds, that is to say, a total of 132 games will be played. This data is many times that of the previous through games. In addition, each game is seven rounds and four wins. The competition is extremely dense, the schedule is extremely devilish, and it is an extremely inhuman test for the players' body and mind.

Similarly, because of this perverted schedule, all four tables will be played at the same time throughout this competition, and the audience can choose the game they are interested in watching. As for the main commentator Qin Huachang, he focuses on the game on table one, and the other three tables On the table, there are other commentators on top, and they will broadcast live commentary to the whole network.

In fact, the lineup of commentators for this event is unprecedentedly strong. In order to ensure that there are commentators for each game on the four tables, and considering that the commentators will be tired and need to change guards, the other two ace commentators on the Yinqiufeiwu website, big Ma Ge and Hou Xijia also came to the scene. Hou Xijia was on the No. [-] table, responsible for taking over after Qin Huachang was tired, and Da Ma was young, strong and energetic, and took Ye Hongye to sit alone on the No. [-] table.

Yi Jing and Grasshopper from China Television Sports also came. They are also changing shifts and are in charge of the third table together.

As for the No. [-] table, it is in charge of two professionals from the local sports channel in Guangdong Province. This can be regarded as a small privilege of the host. As for whether there are fans who will buy it, there must be some, because what the fans are interested in is the game. Players, not commentators, if there is a classic game on the fourth table, don’t worry about everyone not watching it, if you think the commentary is noisy, at most you can choose to mute it.

Then the game officially started.

In the first round of the opening round, the No. [-] table immediately burst into a big cold: Fan Xiaodong was wiped out by Zhu Ding.

Speaking of Zhu Ding's current strength, no one really knows. Just because he can meet Luo Jiu's training needs alone, it can be seen that he is definitely strong enough, but his performance in the Imperial Capital Panlong team's table tennis super is not so good. It’s very weird, basically it’s a good game and a bad game, like sitting on a seesaw, the coach of the Panlong team dared to let him play the second order at first, but later only dared to let him play the third order, and didn’t even think about it when planning tactics Him, all when he was the last draw game.

But today, from the audience's point of view, Zhu Ding's game can't be said to be very good, because from the scene, it seems that Fan Xiaodong didn't play well enough. In fact, this game was not good at all. Fan Xiaodong made frequent mistakes in offense. Zhu Ding also made frequent mistakes in offense. Later, both sides did not want to attack, they both wanted to be steady, and the game was very boring. Then someone started to try to attack, and the opponent also started to try to counterattack, so they played a few more stalemate balls. After the stalemate, both sides Once again sluggish, the fighting spirit is no longer there, and they repeatedly enter the stage of mutual defense...

Well, how to put it, it looks like a joke. The two sides of the competition seem to be comparing who is worse. At the same time, please don’t forget that the commentators in charge of Channel [-] are Yi Jing and Grasshopper. Instead of playing at the same time, they choose to play one by one, and this one happens to be Grasshopper.

so you know...

Although Yi Jing's thinking is easy to diverge, she is a former world champion after all, and she can make sense in the face of this kind of ugly game, but Grasshopper is really an atmosphere group, but there is no such thing as this game. Atmosphere, so he explained that everyone was going to emo.

But Huaping's coaches could understand it. In fact, the game was not as bad as it looked. On the contrary, Zhu Ding played quite well.

The reason why it looked bad was because Zhu Ding was playing the most awkward ball for Fan Xiaodong the whole time, and he didn't give Fan Xiaodong a chance to let go. Even though Fan Xiaodong was young, he was still a smart kid. He saw through Zhu Ding's intentions, Wanting to restrict Zhu Ding in turn, the two began to hurt each other.

This kind of mutual injury game can be played very well if both sides are top-notch skilled and have a super touch. For example, in April, Wang Chao played against the Dragons, with a backhand all the way, although there was no official attack throughout the whole process. But just the technical changes on both sides can dazzle the audience.

However, Zhu Ding and Fan Xiaodong have not yet reached this level. Zhu Ding was a violent turtle at the beginning. Although he has gone on the road of happy table tennis, he is still not a meticulous worker in essence. As for Fan Xiaodong, even the dragon team criticized him Playing too easily, he is naturally not good at playing tricks.

So when the two rough men started to compete in embroidery, although the competition was very high in gold, in the eyes of laymen, it was really horrible.

When the first round was basically over, two more rounds passed in the middle, and the second big surprise broke out: Qi Hao swept Lin Li cleanly and 4-0 on the fourth table.

This game was really shocking. Qi Hao was extremely favored by Cai Guodong at the beginning. He has both physical fitness and spirituality. It was only after the technical and tactical framework was not set up that he finally became a wonderful flower. Now he is in the hands of Zhu Zeshi. After months of suffering, he was finally reborn. He made his first appearance in front of the people of the whole country today. It can be said that he was full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit. The fight between him and Lin Li was purely head-to-head, from forehand to backhand, from forehand to backhand. From near to far, it can be said that we meet on a narrow road and refuse to give up an inch.

It was also this game that made everyone realize that Qi Hao is really different from before.

He used to be a good player occasionally and could hit extremely amazing unreasonable balls, but most of the time he was full of mistakes and omissions. Many times he lost the ball not because the opponent played well, but because he sent it directly.

But today, although he was still irritable, his state was very stable. There were occasional fluctuations in the middle, but it was harmless. He started the game hard, which made Lin Li extremely uncomfortable. Then Lin Li refused to accept it and chose to fight back. After getting really angry, and then complaining, it was actually Lin Li's mentality that collapsed first.

After the game was over, Lin Li's face was red and his ears were red, and he was already extremely aggrieved, but Qi Hao was full of surprise, he couldn't believe his result, because the score difference was really too big.

Only the head coaches of the two, Zhu Zeshi and Sun Tianlong, who were also sitting in the stands, knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon.

Lin Li is an introverted person. An introverted person is usually prone to hold back things in his heart, and it is not easy to relieve his emotions. During this period of time, he has suffered continuously under Wang Chao's hands. Desperate for the Olympics, just continue to practice hard with a little bit of hope.

Under such circumstances, Lin Li's mentality is already very fragile. It's not that he can't lose, but he can't accept such things as "he's good at it".

So even if he loses to Wang Chao again, or loses to Xiao Fei, Sun Tianlong, or even loses to Bai Feng and Fan Xiaodong, he can accept it. After all, these people are indeed very strong, and theoretically there is a possibility of defeating him.

But Qi Hao...

To put it bluntly, Lin Li really didn't take Qihao seriously. Even though he knew that Qihao was in special training in the past few months, he still didn't take Qihao seriously. After all, in his opinion, the strength of any athlete is to be developed step by step. Yes, there is no triple jump, not to mention that Qi Hao is 25 years old, only two years younger than himself, how much future can he have?
How long has it been since Qiu Yinong, who is the same age as him, has been a coach?You didn't catch up until you were 25, don't you think it's too late?

With such a mentality of winning, Lin Li decided to play stronger at the beginning.

However, he thought well, but in the end, he was crushed by Qihao in turn with the force of wind and thunder. How could he bear it?
Although Sun Tianlong saw all this, he didn't intend to comfort Lin Li. This was because the head coach Cai Guodong had already said that during the entire through match, the coach was not allowed to privately guide his disciples.

If you must direct, then wait until the day's competition is over, and say a few words at night, it is absolutely not allowed during the day.

After all, this is a civil war, everyone must abide by the rules, and just let the athletes perform by themselves.

This rule is actually unfair to some athletes. After all, people like Bai Feng and Lin Li have long been used to having a coach, while Wang Chao and Luo Jiu have long been used to not having a coach. Resilience in situations is quite different.

But this kind of unfairness is actually the greatest fairness, because usually everyone has a coach to help, and the advantage of the mental athlete is offset by the opponent's reliance on the coach. Only now, the advantage of the brain is truly reflected.

So it's not that it's unfair to physical athletes now, but it's been unfair to mental athletes in the past.

The game was still going on, and in the last game in the morning, there was another upset on the No. 2 table: Bai Feng killed Luo Jiu.

　Thanks to "Muppet Boy in Secondary School" for the reward.
