Ping Pong Life

Chapter 480 Reaching the playoffs
Naturally, the Jiangcheng University Club will not really leave. On the contrary, they ushered in the strongest moment in the history of team building.

At this time, one-third of the second round of the Ping Ping Super League autumn competition has been completed. With the end of the Olympic Games, all domestic and international competitions have restarted, and professional players are all busy.

Don't look at Cai Guodong's foreign association promised not to take the initiative to use Wang Chao and Luo Jiu to play in the Open, but he also said that he would send other people to the world arena for training. This is not a breach of promise.

Therefore, ordinary national team players like Gao Mingyuan, Liang Kunpeng, and Qi Hao still have no chance to return to the Table Tennis Super League. They still care more about their foreign performances and world rankings.

But this kind of people is the main force of each team in the Ping Pong Super League, so when they choose to play in the Open, it means that their team can only continue to fight without a full complement of personnel.

In fact, this is also a problem that all teams in the Table Tennis Super League have to face over the years. Both club owners and domestic fans have long been accustomed to it and expressed their understanding.

Therefore, a team like the Lu Province Weiqiao Club that purely uses Gao Mingyuan as the first scoring point is a complete tragedy.

The same tragedy is Liao Province Chonggang. After an Olympic Games, the absolute main player Sun Tianlong chose to retire, the second main player Qi Hao chose to play in the Open, and the third main player Xue Hui was also stimulated by this, and he tried everything possible to find a relationship Returning to the national team, I want to fight again. Although I can only enter the second national team for the time being, I still refuse to come back to play in the league.

It is said that Tang Jiuzhou, the head coach of the Chongqing Iron and Steel Club, smashed seventeen or eight bowls in one month. As a well-known Confucian handsome in the table tennis super, it can be seen that he is also extremely depressed.

Of course, no matter how much bullshit the other teams had, the two teams in Jiangcheng City were not among them.

Wang Chao and Luo Jiu, leading these two teams, once again demonstrated their lethality like "lawn mowers" in the world arena, and began to frantically grab points.

On January 1th, the Jiangcheng University team played an away game against the Laobaigan Club of Jizhou Province. They had a clean sheet. Luo Jiu had one single and Hu Ke had two singles. In the end, Luo Jiu had only one single, and Hu Ke had one single and one In doubles, the doubles partner is the No. 7 substitute in the team, and the national team chooses Yuan Changying.

Even the substitutes are national team players, which shows how luxurious the current lineup of the Jiangcheng University team should be.

On January 1, the Jiangcheng University team challenged the Jinmen Goubuli Club in an away game. They got zero confiscations. Hu Ke had one single and Luo Jiu had two singles. In the end, Hu Ke only played one singles, and Luo Jiu played one singles. And a doubles, the doubles partner is the third player in the team, the veteran Wang Bo.

On January 1, the Jiangcheng University team challenged the Shonan Province Mango Satellite TV Club in an away game.

On January 1, the Jiangcheng University team played against Liao Province Heavy Steel Club at home, with zero concedes, Hook had one single and Luo Jiu had two singles.

After the last few games played by the Jiangcheng University team, people in the industry can clearly see that the direction this team is chasing is not at all "all wins to close the autumn game", but "to win more personal victories".

In other words, the last month of the Table Tennis Super League has officially become a Shura field for the team's first and second singles. Before the team won the championship, they had already tacitly wanted to win the championship and began to compete for the annual mvp player.

It is also because of this that there is a strange situation within the Jiangcheng University team. The two top players do not want to be the leader of the team, but both want to be the second child, because the boss can only play one game, but the second child can only play two games.

The same situation was played by another team in the same city, the Spade Q Club, but the painting style was completely different.

The formation of spade q has long been locked by the player's own athlete level.

Wang Chao and Geng Shuai can switch positions, they are both elite athletes.

But Wu Li, as an ordinary first-level athlete who has never played in an international arena, can only play three singles anyway.

So Wang Chao directly locked himself into the second single, because he wanted to play doubles with force.

At first, this match was to ensure a certain doubles winning rate. After all, Geng Shuai's match with force is no different from the one given away.

But later, this match gradually became a trustworthy doubles combination.

Later, this match became a fixed scoring point for the q of spades.

And at the end of January, many people in the industry looked back and suddenly realized that in the last month of Spade Q's competition, the doubles was actually a complete victory.

It only took a very short time for this pair to go from being bumpy to being as stable as Mount Tai, and it is now a well-known gold-lettered signboard of the Ping Chao, a kingly combination.

So many fans feel sorry, because the second round match between Spade Q and Jiangcheng University team has already been played before the Olympic Games, and now there is no chance to fight again. In addition, it is recognized that the strongest doubles pairing is the Jiangcheng University team's two pairs of partners: Luo Jiu + Wang Bo, or Hu Ke + Duan Changying.

With two top men's doubles teams squeezed into one team, it can only be said that Jiangcheng University is indeed an upstart this season.

In short, at the end of January at the end of the autumn competition, the two teams from Jiangcheng City both squeezed into the top four and successfully entered the playoffs. With multiple defeats at the beginning of the season, it can only be ranked No.4, and it is difficult to squeeze in with a thrilling score of three points higher than No.5.

As for the other two teams that made it to the playoffs, there was no surprise. They were still the two top giants for many years: Imperial Capital Panlong, and Demon Capital Fire Phoenix.

The competition rules of the table tennis super playoffs are not complicated. The team ranked first has the priority to choose its opponent from the third and No.4 and become the winner group, while the other two teams become the losers. The winner's group, followed by the intra-group confrontation, all games are the same as the regular season BO5 and small BO5 format, and finally, the winner of the winner's group and the winner of the loser's group compete for the season championship.

There is also a small advantage here in the winner's bracket, they have priority to serve in the first game.

Therefore, in fact, the playoffs add up to only three games.

In the end, the opponent of the No. [-] Jiangcheng University team was the No. [-] Magic Capital Fire Phoenix Club.

So Spade Q's opponent was determined to be the second-ranked Emperor Capital Panlong Club.

Regarding this, Bai Feng, Zou Zhengyu and others, the main players of the Magic City Fire Phoenix Club, were somewhat indignant.

You must know that it is the end of January at this time, the last three open games of this year have been played, and all the players have returned to the Table Tennis Super League. Therefore, the biggest difference between the regular season and the preseason is that all teams play at full strength. There is a problem of lack of personnel.

Your Jiangcheng University team can look down on me, Fire Phoenix, in the regular season. After all, our team’s attendance rate is not high, and we often go to the imperial capital, but now our team has officially returned. After all, he is the main player of the national team. Why choose us instead of the queen of spades?

Could it be that you really think the Q of Spades is better than us?

What?You said that the spade q has a king and a super devil?

But the team competition is different from the individual competition. No matter how strong Wang Chao is, he can win two games at most. For the other three games, do you think they can get points?
What?Great progress in force?

Well, it must be admitted that the progress in force is indeed great.

In the last month of the league after the Olympics, he played eight singles games and won six of them. He lost two games, one to a national team training partner who used the The special bouncing method of raw rubber particles on the reverse side imitated Luo Jiu of the Huaping Men's Team and Yi Chuan Mima of the Sakura National Women's Team. Wu Li is too unfamiliar with this style of play, so it is understandable to lose.

In the other game that Wuli lost, the opponent was Bai Feng of the Magic City Fire Phoenix Club. At that time, Spade Q and Magic City Fire Phoenix collided in the second round of the big cycle. Wuli played the fourth game as a triple single, which happened He was caught straight by the other party, Bai Feng, and then he was beaten violently.

So this scene actually makes sense.

But the magic city, Huofeng, is still not angry. They admit that the force has improved rapidly, but they don't think that the force can already be compared with their own second and third singles. After all, these two are national first-team players.

In comparison, the Imperial City Panlong team is also not happy, even though they are going to face the Q of Spades, which is the weakest on paper.

The reason is also very simple, their team Xiao Fei retired...

The reason why Imperial Capital Panlong has been a wealthy team for many years is precisely because they have Xiao Fei's unstoppable magic needle of Dinghai. It made the head coach of the Panlong team very uncomfortable. As a professional coach of a top team, he knew many years ago that the core of a team may not be the strongest, but must be the most stable, because a team's performance is good. Bad, in fact, it depends more on their winning percentage against regular opponents, rather than the small universe explosion against top opponents.

Just like when high school students take the college entrance examination, the most important thing is to do all the routine questions correctly, not to do the last thinking question.

It's a pity that Zhu Ding's personal attributes are exactly the opposite of the requirements of the core characters.

So Panlong, the imperial capital, was no longer worried about his performance in the playoffs. After all, the worst was fourth place, so what else could he do?
What they are really worried about is, if they can't find a strong thug to join next year, will they fall directly from the heights of the rich and become a mediocre team, or even, like their city team, Imperial Capital New City, Go directly to the Pingjia to dominate?
I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail...what the hell!

Everyone in the imperial capital of Panlong firmly believes that even if Lao Tzu is at the bottom, he still has to rely on the Pingjia Super League. He will never go to the Pingjia to be the big devil. This is the last dignity of a wealthy team.

Ok, as the Ping Ping Super League ends and the playoffs are coming, let's talk about the international situation.

There are three open tournaments in January, namely the Peacock Country Open at the beginning of the month, the Platinum Tournament of the England Open in the middle of the month, and the Platinum Tournament of the Cherry Blossom Country Open at the end of the month. So far, all 15 tournaments a year have come to an end.

These three open tournaments are the last chance for strong players from foreign associations to grab points. Therefore, although Huaping is quiet here and pays little attention to the open tournaments, in fact, in various countries of foreign associations, these three open competitions are very important. Saidu has extremely high enthusiasm.

Where is this enthusiasm?You only need to give an example to understand.

When the schedule of the Open match conflicted with China's domestic Table Tennis Super League, even if Qin Huachang chose to comment on the Table Tennis Super League, there were still a large number of fans who chose to give up listening to Qin Huachang's talk and watch the live broadcast of the Open instead.

After all, they still care about their own players, and hope that their players can score enough points to get an invitation to the year-end finals.

This situation is particularly evident in Germany, England, Sweden and other places.

Although the Brazilian fans are also crazy this year, because Hooker has accumulated enough points early, he has no plan to play the Open at all, so they are bystanders in January.

In short, the whole January of foreign associations is like celebrating the new year. After the two lawn mowers of Huaping, everyone has a kind of mentality of "there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys rule the king". All the players are ambitious and eager to fight. I am destined to belong to myself, and I will definitely have a gold medal in my account.

It is worth mentioning that some people from foreign associations did not participate in this year-end carnival. For example, Lin Zijun and Zhang Benkuang stayed at home quietly. The root cause is that they were absent from work in the past year The rate is high enough, and the results of each station are also passable, so all the points added up have already accumulated enough numbers for the year-end finals, and there is no need to grab points.

There are two kinds of people who are really eager to grab points. One is very strong but too old players. Wang Chao and Luo Jiu ruined the plan to grab points, so they had to come back to grab points. For example, Bayer, Wolf, and Ochumelov are all included.

The other kind of people are really not strong enough. Even if they have participated in all the open competitions, the meager points they have accumulated are still not enough, or not enough. Let's leave it to fate, whether or not I can receive the invitation letter is still undecided.

For example, Ghana Naka, the country of peacocks, or Gross, the Danish brother, are all listed here.

Finally, there is a special category of people, such as Morad, who has strength and energy, but because of the suspension, he played a lot of games less, and Qiu Shang, who has strength and energy, but because he only rose in the second half of the year, he is also less After playing many games, they also have to grab a wave.

In fact, all the associations know who needs to grab points. By studying the matchup table and analyzing the strength and status of the players, they already have a rough idea of ​​who will be in which position in which game and how much they will get. Fraction.

In a sense, this can be regarded as dividing the cake. Everyone knows who eats which piece and who gets what points.

But the big guy never expected that Cai Guodong was a bastard, he was playing dirty.

He sent a group of people to the international arena for training, including Lu Feiyang, Gao Mingyuan, Liang Kunpeng, Sun Zhongwen, Hu Buming, Fan Xiaodong and many others. Among these people, the 16-year-old Fan Xiaodong became the ultimate spoiler. The clear and good situation has been messed up and messed up.
