Ping Pong Life

Chapter 44: July in Table Tennis

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table.

He Jingping's statement that he is ashamed of the country is not empty talk.

As a national sport, table tennis has won too many honors for China, so people in every industry value national honor far more than other industries.

If Luo Jiu is really a seedling of the Grand Slam, and he is really taught and abolished by He Jingping, which eventually causes Hua Guo to lose the gold medal in the big event, then He Jingping will really be blamed by the people of the whole country.

May I ask, apart from table tennis, which other sport will be criticized by the people of the whole country after winning the world runner-up?
Wang Mou, a double runner-up athlete in the previous life, is the most typical example.

After a long time, Wang Chao said: "So you don't want to accept disciples yourself, because you are afraid that another good seedling will be ruined?"

He Jingping gave a "hmm" and seemed to have lost interest in continuing.

But Wang Chao said again: "Does Luo Jiu hate you?"

"He doesn't hate me." He Jingping smiled wryly: "He called me many times and asked me to go back and continue to take care of him. He also apologized to me, saying that he didn't work hard and failed my expectations... He is a good boy , but how can I have the face to go back?"

At this moment, most of the people in the cafeteria have already left, only the last few "real cooks" who are responsible for cleaning up are still chatting casually in the distance, looking this way from time to time, apparently waiting for the table to leave quickly. They packed up and went to rest.

The three hurriedly left, and when they left the door, He Jingping still did not give up and asked, "Wang Chao, don't you really want to see Lao Qin?"

"I think so, but I don't want to run so far." Wang Chao smiled, and half-jokingly said, "Or... you have the moon to get close to the water, so you can make do with me?"

He Jingping was moved and worried, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to refuse in a joking way: "When Luo Jiu defeats Sun Tianlong, I will accept you as a disciple."

Wang Chao also laughed, stretched out a hand, and said, "Senior, you must count on what you say. I'll wait for that day."

He Jingping laughed out loud, and the gloomy air brought about by recalling the past finally dissipated a little. He also extended his hand and high-fived Wang Chao as an oath.

Jiang Shan was smiling beside him, thinking that the two of them were just joking around, and he didn't think that Luo Jiu could defeat Team Dragon at all.

That is a man like a god!

……

That night, Wang Chao abnormally did not ask Li Shaoqin to practice more, he was lying on the bed in the dormitory playing with his mobile phone.

"Jiang Shan, do you know where I can find all of Luo Jiu's past game videos?"

Jiang Shan couldn't help sighing: "Brother Chao, brother Chao, you don't cherish the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, even Qin Huachang dares to refuse... What's the use of watching Luo Jiu's video now? Luo Jiu can't even beat Qin Huachang's apprentice, What's so good about his video?"

Having said that, he enthusiastically gave Wang Chao a website address called "Silver Ball Flying Dance", which is said to be the largest professional table tennis forum in Huaguo.

The dormitory became quiet, and Wang Chao began to watch the video seriously. It wasn't until two hours later that Jiang Shan suddenly yelled strangely: "Brother Chao, don't you really think that Luo Jiu can beat the Dragon team?" ?”

Then he thought of a deeper level: "I don't understand at all, brother, why do you want to be He Jingping's apprentice so much?"

Wang Chao did not explain.

He doesn't really need anyone to teach him.

He himself is the best coach.

He Jingping and Qin Huachang are the same to him, representing a faction and a backer.

Huaguo is very similar to Huaxia in the previous life. It is still a society of human relations in essence. Many places need connections, face, and background.

He has no power or power in this life, his mother does odd jobs every day, and his father doesn't exist at all. If he doesn't want to be distracted by some unimportant things, he must find a backer.

If he was He Jingping's apprentice, how dare Jiang Long be so arrogant in front of him?

Leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade...

What's more, He Jingping is not bad. I gave him the title of cheap master. In the future, when I win the grand slam, I will let him follow the glory.

Are mentors and apprentices valuable?
So he needs to watch Luo Jiu's game video.

He didn't think he would be able to see Luo Jiu's problem, nor did he think that he was really good enough to make Luo Jiu beat Sun Tianlong.

But what if it does?

……

The next two days were uneventful, and then, Wang Chao suddenly realized that something was wrong.

First, the head coach of the Xingcheng Table Tennis Team from neighboring Shonan Province visited in person. He didn't come to the Jiangcheng City team for a friendly match, nor did he come to visit and study. He came here specifically to find Wang Chao.

"I happened to watch your game on the Internet. It should be from the "Evening Sports News" on xx, xx. After watching it, I was deeply shocked."

The head coach of the Star City team is named Mao Qian, who lives up to his name. He speaks very modestly, and every word is filled with modesty. He enthusiastically holds Wang Chao's hand: "What our Star City team needs most is a genius like you. ! I, Mao, like to do the most in my life is to support geniuses! Then, have you considered changing teams?"

It took Wang Chao half a minute to figure out the essence of the matter. Was the head coach of the neighboring city's team here to poach someone?

No wonder a big man like him would sneak up on the trail outside the arena.

Luo Zhihong came very quickly, and quickly invited Mao Qian into his office. It is unknown what they talked about, but the next day he called Wang Chao to the office, and taught him earnestly. It is everyone's responsibility to build a hometown team to repay their kindness.

Wang Chao nodded all the way, with a good attitude, and left the office after 10 minutes.

But it's not over yet.

Another day later, Wang Chao saw new faces in the arena again, and there were more than 20 people there.

These people didn't seem to be in the same group. They were divided into small groups of threes and threes. They whispered to each other and looked at Wang Chao, who was constantly running around the field to exercise his physical strength.

Wang Chao felt awkward, but he couldn't use his "law of suing Dafa" because these people were brought in by Luo Zhihong.

Then he was called in again to talk, and by the way, he found out what happened.

These people came from different units. There were two municipal teams from other provinces, three table tennis clubs from other provinces, and the last one was even more exaggerated. It turned out to be the provincial team coach who came all the way from Henan Province.

It was precisely because there were provincial coaches who overwhelmed them that Luo Zhihong could not refuse, so he could only bring them over and give them a chance to persuade Wang Chao.

Yes, they are all here to poach people.

Back then they knew that the Jiangcheng City team had a treasure called Wuli, but because Wuli was a seed that Jiangcheng had cultivated since childhood, no one was bothered.

But Wang Chao is different. He is an amateur player. He joined the team quickly and improved quickly. He has stayed at the base for less than a month. How much affection can he have for the team?

So, all of a sudden everyone came.

These things were pure farce for Wang Chao. Even if one of the table tennis clubs directly offered a high salary of 50 yuan for a quarter, he still chose to refuse.

After everyone left, he finally had the opportunity to ask Luo Zhihong what was going on.

"What else can happen, you are famous!"

Comrade Lao Luo couldn't help sighing: "Wang Chao, don't underestimate the influence of your two games. Everyone is knowledgeable. What you showed in that game with Li Shaoqin was too scary. Is it easy to hit it? Is the chopping serve so easy to practice? What's more, you fought with force later and came up with a strange thing called a roundabout. It's hard to say whether this thing is strong or not, but it It can prove your talent!"

Wang Chao was stunned: "Isn't the match between me and Wuli an internal match?"

Lao Luo looked at him like a fool: "Don't you know that official games at the city team level must be recorded and archived? As long as they want to watch, they will definitely be able to see it."

Wang Chao fell silent.

Well, this is another difference between the past life and this life.

It can only be said that the degree of development and standardization of Huaguo table tennis is indeed much better than that of the previous life.

Generally speaking, the table tennis coaches in Huaguo are very open-minded, Jiang Long is only a minority.

If the "Evening Sports News" game only showed Wang Chao's talent and touch, then the game between him and Wuli showed his tenacity, change, precision, and calculation.

Except for the major flaws in physical strength and some minor problems in specific technical details, Wang Chao is already the best appearance in the eyes of all coaches in other aspects... the embryonic form.

That's why there are commercial clubs visiting, because they think that Wang Chao's level is already ready for official competitions in table tennis.

They dared to charge high prices because they were gambling. Gambling King Chao Neng quickly improved his strength in the process of playing table tennis, and used 50 worth to hit 100 million results.

"What's more, it's July now!" Lao Luo said again.

Yes, for table tennis, July is special.

This is not only the month for students to take the college entrance examination, but also the month when city-level teams play relegation matches with provincial teams, and it is also the offseason of the professional table tennis and table tennis super leagues. All the teams are waving money and recruiting all over the world. , I want to achieve better results next season.

The Table Tennis A wants to be promoted to the Table Tennis Super League, the Table Tennis Super League wants to win the championship, the club players want to be selected for the national team, and the club operators want to get more advertising sponsorship.

July in the table tennis world has always been noisy, with demons dancing wildly.

This year is even more so, because this year's Table Tennis World Cup is also held in July.

A few days later, the 27th Table Tennis World Cup being held in Germany will usher in the final!

All Chinese people are looking forward to Sun Tianlong's revival after his accidental defeat last year, and the return of the king!
