Ping Pong Life

Chapter 498

The Huaping training venue was naturally very lively. As soon as he entered, he heard the sound of ping-pong. When Qiu Shang walked in, he was a little arrogant. After all, he is now ranked 22nd in the world. He is a celebrity in the table tennis world. When he was in Germany, he was occasionally recognized by others. If he went to a place related to table tennis, he would have a [-]% exposure rate.

In Qiu Shang's view, although Huaping is strong, there are only a few who really surpass the table tennis world, and there are dozens of Huaping players, coaches, and miscellaneous staff in such a large Huaping. Man, among so many people, he is still a star, right?

At least someone has to know him, right?

He walks in as a big living person, of course many players will take a look at the door, but that's just a look, and then everyone should play, pick up the ball, and chat, but no one finds out that he is The world's No. 22 table tennis celebrity.

Qiu Shang was a little annoyed. He asked the little assistant if he could find someone to play two rounds.

The little assistant is a little embarrassed, because it is now July in the table tennis world, and the tide of the table tennis super transfer period is coming, and there are actually international competitions in July. There were not many applicants, and Huaping just sent Luo Jiu to cover the bottom line, together with Wang Qin and other young players, it was to let the children try the depth of the world competition.

As a result, most of the players are busy with other things and are not at the Huaping Base, while the small part of the players who stay at the base basically have special training tasks, or they are correcting chronic problems in the tactical system, or they are playing in the Huaping Base. Race against time for technical improvements, or sprint at the end to avoid being brushed down in the relegation assessment a few months later.

In short, the players are very busy and have no time to play entertainment.

"How about I find some idlers to play with you?" the little assistant asked.

Qiu Shang nodded in agreement, but he was sneering in his heart. He already faintly felt that Hua Ping seemed to want to give him a bad shot, as evidenced by the cooks just now, but now, Hua Ping must be planning to continue to blow his self-confidence. Stacks of weird crews to beat yourself up on.

However, how could he be so easy to defeat?
Qiu Shang has a father who used to be the coach of the national team, so he naturally knows Huaping very well, but as the saying goes, seeing is believing is believing, no matter how much Qiu Zeyun brags, he still feels that the things in his father's mouth are filled with water , He didn't see it himself, so he couldn't believe it. At most, he knew that there were some old guys with unique skills lurking inside Huaping, but if he said that just looking for someone who is a peerless master, then the cowhide would be a little blown.

After all, playing basketball requires talent. Who is not a super genius to become a world-class player?He Qiu Shang himself is a super genius, and he has a father who is a coach of the national team to provide professional guidance since he was a child. Only in this way can he achieve his current achievements at this age. He thinks that his own strength can only be achieved by bringing together multiple low-probability conditions. Excellent height, but how many people in this world have such unique conditions?

Therefore, even though he was severely beaten by Wang Qin a month ago, he didn't really let go of his figure, and still believed that he was an extraordinary member of the world's table tennis world.

Hua Ping is naturally strong, but he also firmly believes that the real strong are only those people who are familiar to everyone. As for others, such as Gao Mingyuan and Liang Kunpeng, they have participated in many world competitions, but they are always four times in a row. Can't even get in?
These people represent the normal state of Huaping players.

It cannot be said that Huaping is strong outside but capable in the middle, but it is by no means as deep as the legend says. You can find two or three of the staff who are better than me, but you can find ten or eight, or even a dozen or twenty. , that's bullying my IQ, someone Qiu.

With such an arrogance of unbelief, Qiu Shang welcomed a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing a security uniform.

The middle-aged man uses a straight forehand with rubber on both sides. The style of play is retro and traditional. There is no horizontal strike in the backhand, only push and block. It looks like a character pulled out of the old paper pile of history, but 5 minutes later, he is With such a backward style of play, he beat Qiu Shang 11:9.

Winning is actually not easy, but the process of this game is very similar to that of the third chef before. Qiu Shang didn't suffer on the scene, but he lost if he played.

Qiu Shang refused to accept it and asked to come again.

So in the second game, he lost another 15:13.

This round was even more stalemate. The middle-aged security guard's style of play was indeed very backward, but he had extremely rich experience in handling small balls in the table. He used the natural and delicate characteristics of the straight board, coupled with the natural fast attack of Zhengjiao. Attributes, just hit the 40+ caliber ball with the charm of the small ball era. The most important thing is that every key ball, this person will have an excellent performance. Qiu Shang often feels that he is only one step away from victory, but in the end he still defeated.

After the two rounds, Qiu Shang was actually still dissatisfied, but he didn't ask to continue, because he still had to lose face, and there were other people waiting beside him.

His next opponent looked to be 50 years old, and he walked in with a broom in his hand, but this guy was a backhand slicer, and his technique was extremely retro, just a few back and forth This is because the chopping style 20 years ago has not yet evolved the concept of "cutting must bring offense".

Qiu Shang felt that he completely crushed his opponent in terms of technological advancement, and successfully penetrated the opponent's defense with the first few shots, but afterward, when the opponent became familiar with his approach, he couldn't penetrate.

The more he couldn't get through, the harder he was, and the more he tried, the more impatient he was. In fact, he hadn't been so impatient in the past, but today he had lost a lot of games in a row, and on the other hand, because of Everyone was watching from the side, and they laughed from time to time. He always felt that the other party's laughter was secretly laughing at him, and maybe they were still whispering bad things about him, such as "the world's No. 22 is not very good. Land", or "Lao Qiu didn't teach his son well", and so on.

In short, he was in a hurry, but the opponent kept chipping in a leisurely manner, so he fought, and the good situation was ruined by him, and he lost the game 11:6.

Qiu Shang didn't ask to continue, he realized that the group of people around the table at this time might really be able to defeat him.

He was a little surprised, because from the cook outside to the current security guard and sweeper, and the seven or eight people who have not had time to appear on the stage, there are more than ten people in total, and these ten people alone have already surpassed him. The estimated number of Ping sweeping monks.

He still didn't give up, and said, "I want to have a fight with the team members."

The little assistant smiled and said, "The team members have training tasks, how about I find some sparring partners to play with you?"

Qiu Shang gritted his teeth and agreed.

Then came three sparring partners, all in their 30s. Qiu Shang fought one by one, and ended up with two losses and one win.

But Qiu Shang didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart, because until now, he has realized that his perception of Huaping in the past was indeed wrong, and his personal theory of "limited masters in the world" is even more wrong. , because it was obvious that everyone he met today might not be inferior to him in terms of talent alone.

On a sudden whim, he said to his little assistant, "Let's play a game?"

The little assistant readily agreed: "Okay."

Another 5 minutes later, Qiu Shang won the second game of the day with a score of 11:7. It was not too difficult, but it was not easy either.

He could see that the little assistant was really just playing casually, and definitely not a genius boy deliberately pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but a person like the little assistant who has never entered the ranks of Huaping's active players can actually reach this rank ?
"Are there so many talented people in the world?"

"Or...my talent is actually not as high as I think it is?"

"But if this is the case, why can I make a name for myself in Germany?"

Qiu Shangben is a very smart person. He was only blinded by a leaf before. Today's half-day experience made him start to reflect from another angle, and he immediately found the answer.

"Yes, these people I met today, they are older than me and their style of play is behind me, but they can beat me. This is actually because they have more experience in the game than me, and they are more skilled than me. At the same time, the game mentality is better."

"I have more advanced technology and better physical fitness, but in terms of technical polishing, there is a huge gap with them."

"As for skill polishing, game experience, and game mentality, these are actually things that have nothing to do with talent, but they greatly affect the final outcome of the game."

"I was able to win so many games in Germany, which is actually the same reason."

"It's not that my talent is really better than them. For example, my men's doubles partner Duda, he is stronger than me, he is worse than me in forehand, and he has a fierce backhand, but he is always in singles. Is it because his talent is not as good as mine? No, his talent and physical fitness are still higher than mine. He is really not as good as me, in fact, it is still the game experience and technical details."

"And my details are better than his, all because of my father's guidance from childhood to adulthood."

"I have practiced since I was a child, and I am much harder than those local players in Germany. But even though I practice so hard and have better personal guidance than all of them, I am only ranked fourth in the German table tennis world."

"So, what kind of super genius am I? I'm just an ordinary professional player with a little bit of talent."

"For a person like me, there are a lot of people in the world table tennis world. What should I be proud of?"

"An ordinary professional player like me, occasionally lose a few more games, even if it is defeated by a 13-year-old kid, what can't you think about?"

Qiu Shang's heart knot was originally entirely due to his arrogance, he always felt that he was the proud son of heaven, and he was ashamed of the sky, but now, when he realized that he was just an ordinary person, as soon as he lowered his figure, Immediately, everything became clear, and I also figured out the real reason why I came to Huaping today.

He said sincerely: "Can you let me play with your real main players?"

After saying this, he saw the hidden smile in the little assistant's eyes. He was afraid of being misunderstood, and added: "I'm not unconvinced, I just... want to see how far I am from being the real top in the world." How big a difference is there?"

The smile in the little assistant's eyes disappeared, but he hesitated for a moment, and asked him seriously: "Are you sure? It might be miserable."

Qiu Shangwu felt a little terrified, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sure."

So Wang Chao came.

Yes, Wang Chao is at the Huaping Base right now.

Although the transfer period is very important to Spade Q, it has nothing to do with him. In fact, he came to the base with force a few days ago because force requires high-intensity training.

Of course, Wang Chao himself can train with Wuli, but the problem is that Wuli needs too much training time every day. Simply come to the base to find an opponent.

The players of the first national team are very happy to practice with Wuli. The reason is that if you are stronger than Wuli, you can beat him unscrupulously. very beneficial.

And if you are weaker than force, you can also discuss with him and ask him not to attack.

Force does not rule out comprehensive defense at all, he just needs a high enough intensity, as for high-intensity offense or high-intensity defense, he doesn't care, anyway, he can practice whatever he can, he is not picky.

At this time, Qiu Shang faced Wang Chao, saying that he was not nervous would be a lie. Since his debut, he has no idea whether it is good luck or bad luck. Although he has been sniped repeatedly in the international arena, he has never been able to compete with the strongest player in Huaping. The troika had met before today, and he would probably try to defeat Wang Chao with some flukes before today, but now, he has calmed down his mentality and completely displayed a humble attitude of learning.

Then he was directly beaten 11:1 by Wang Chao.

The last ball was made clear, and a serve committed suicide.

Qiu Shangren was stunned. He knew that the gap would be huge, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big. Facing Wang Chao, he felt a sense of despair that he couldn't handle at all, because the opponent was no matter whether it was speed, skill, experience, or deception. , Details and other aspects are all crushing him, making it difficult for him to even find the slightest theoretical possibility of counterattack.

After the round was over, Qiu Shang closed his eyes and adjusted his mentality for a long time, and said, "Come again."

He was beaten 11:0 in the second game.

The point in the first game is for saving face, but since the opponent wants to see the real difference, Wang Chao doesn't mind letting him experience the difference in the world in the second game.

Qiu Shang gritted his teeth and said, "Come again."

The third game is still 11:0.

The outcome is actually certain, but Qiu Shang was blushing and aggrieved at this moment.

He does have a learning attitude, but he is a young man after all, and his mentality now is to rely on his own strength to score a point, even if it is a marginal luck, as long as he gets one point, he can Give yourself an explanation and end today's game.

But the problem is, after three rounds, they really didn't get a single point.

He refused to give up and said, "Come again."

The fourth game is still 11:0.

Wang Chao was already a little surprised when he hit here. Although he is good at calculating people's hearts, it is only in the arena of official competitions. In the formal contest, he had no idea where Qiu Shang's emotions were falling, and naturally he couldn't judge what Qiu Shang was insisting on, so he could only continue to fight with Qiu Shang dutifully.

So the fifth game was 11:0 again.

Wang Chao himself didn't feel it, but the onlookers at the table were already amazed, not because of Wang Chao's strength, but because of Wang Chao's stability.

This is too stable.

I really don't even give it a chance.

Qiu Shang did not score a point in the end, and he collapsed after the fifth inning.

This collapse is not the same as being defeated by Wang Qin last month. Looking back at the knots of last month, it actually belongs to "exaggerated self-esteem" and "not knowing the heights of the sky and the earth". Once this kind of knot is recognized clearly Immediately the ego dissolves.

But now he has been completely beaten out of depression. Everyone in the world says "break and then stand", but today he is "stand and then break". This break, I am afraid that it will take ten and a half months to recover.

At this time, Qiu Shang finally understood why the little assistant had solemnly asked him to "confirm" before.

He was indeed mentally prepared to be beaten.

But he didn't expect the beating to be so painful...

It hurts so much!
Wang Chao was a little worried, because Boss Fan called him yesterday, and he knew that Qiu Shang would be his future teammate in the Ping Chao, so he stepped forward and asked concerned: "Are you okay?"

Seeing him approaching, Qiu Shang was so frightened that he took three steps back as if seeing a demon king in person. Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure, and forced a smile: "It's okay."

"Well, it's good to be normal, winning or losing is normal." Wang Chao comforted him: "We will fight side by side next month, and there will be more opportunities to practice duels at that time, and you will get used to it after a long time. "

But Qiu Shang gasped when he heard it, and it suddenly occurred to him at this moment that he had promised his father yesterday that he would join the Spade Q Club, so wouldn't he have to deal with this person for a long time in the Spade Q base in the future? practice?
Facing Wang Chao, he was a bit afraid, forced a smile and nodded in agreement, appearing to be very obedient, but he couldn't help secretly thinking: "Before the contract is formally signed, can you discuss it with your father and change the contract?" What about a team?"
