Ping Pong Life

Chapter 73
Wang Chao's heart moved slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Could it be Luo Jiu?"

Fan Xiaofan clapped his hands: "That's right, it's Luo Jiu!"

Wang Chao saw the certificate on the photo frame on the wall. It clearly said "Luo Jiu, MVP of the 19th Table Tennis League of the Year", and there was a photo attached to the certificate. [-] years old, looks young and delicate, is showing a shy smile to the camera, looks like a shy big boy.

Back then, Luo Jiu was one year older than this year’s Wang Chao. He was already No. 1 in the history of table tennis. .

Wang Chao is standing in the honor exhibition room looking at the trophy at this moment, and looking back at that year, he can't help feeling angry and proud.

He was thinking, what Luo Jiu can do, of course he can do it too.

Maybe I can do more.

For example, bring the spade q to the Ping Pong Super League?

"Xiao Jiu is a genius, with a good personality and good looks. When he came, everyone in the club liked him. Even our old Fan family wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law. It's a pity..."

Fan Xiaofan suddenly said "Ouch", but his own sister stomped on his toe.

"If you don't know how to speak, you don't have to say it, okay?" Fan Xiaoxian's sister Yu's aura was at full strength at this moment, and Boss Fan sobered up instantly in fright.

Wang Chao's eyes moved between the two brothers and sisters, and he even felt that Geng Shuai's expression beside him was a bit strange. He thought, there must be a story between these people, and he still needs to find someone to inquire about it.

In addition, today Wang Chao also learned another allusion from Fan Xiaofan: it turns out that Spade Q only recruits local players from Hubei Province.

No wonder it was so difficult for Fan Xiaofan to sign players.

In fact, since the establishment of the team 17 years ago, Fan Xiaofan has always created an authentic "Quan'e Class". This is a certain kind of feeling, a certain obsession. There is a trace of admiration for his persistence.

……

The joyful atmosphere of winning the first game lasted only half a day, and from the second day onwards, the players once again put themselves into intense training.

There are a total of 12 teams in table tennis, divided into home and away games, playing double rounds, so for each team, the first stage is 22 games, which need to be played in more than two months. Sai, this rhythm can be regarded as very fast.

And Spade Q will go to Jinling City, Jiangsu Province for the second game after finishing his home game, where he will play an away game against the local team "Osmanthus Fragrance Club".

This is not a derby match, but in a sense, the grievances in this match are stronger, so that Fan Xiaoxian directly shouted the slogan "This battle can only be won, not lost".

Going back to three years ago, Osmanthus Fragrance and Spade Q had no grievances. At that time, Spade Q was a middle-upstream team and a veteran of table tennis, while Osmanthus Fragrance was a lower-level team and had just entered the game for a few years. The new army, the two sides do not violate the river water.

But something happened last year.

At that time, the second single of Spade Q was named Yang Chi, and his strength can definitely be regarded as the first echelon in the table tennis. Although he could not beat Geng Shuai in BO5, if he played BO7 with Geng Shuai, it can be said that the outcome was mixed. If the fight continues, Yang Chi will be able to take on Geng Shuai after the power outage.

So that year Spade Q's formation was very flexible. Sometimes when they met a specific team, they would let Geng Shuai be absent and let Yang Chi play a single. In this way, Yang Chi's stable and high level can help the club stabilize. Take two points.

Because Yang Chi signed a long-term contract with the team, Q of Spades never dreamed that Yang Chi would have problems.

After the autumn competition ended that year, Yang Chi suddenly made an attack, directly paid the full amount of liquidated damages, and forcibly left Spade Q, and joined the Osmanthus Fragrance Club in Jinling City, Jiangsu Province two weeks later.

Anyone with a discerning eye can understand this matter. The liquidated damages must have been paid by the Osmanthus Fragrance Club. They are illegally poaching people.

But the problem is that their hands and feet are very clean. In order to clear the suspicion, the whole process of leaving the team was operated by Yang Chi himself. After leaving the team, Yang Chi even pretended to go around for trial training and negotiated contracts with many clubs. Suddenly announced that the team had been found.

This is the first grievance. Although Osmanthus Fragrance did not behave properly, Spade Q will be fine after a while. After all, the other party has paid enough liquidated damages, and the team members have to leave by themselves. Fan Xiaofan has nothing to say explain.

But what Osmanthus Fragrance did last year was really too much.

Last year, because of Yang Chi's departure, Fan Xiaofan had to promote He Luo from the original triple to second single, and let the original substitute Lu Jia take the third single. After struggling like this for a season, the results were dismal.

Fan Xiaofan thought this was the lowest point in the history of Spade Q.

But he didn't expect Osmanthus Fragrance to make another move at this time.

During the offseason, He Luo, whose contract just expired this year, refused to renew his contract. No matter how Fan Xiaofan tried to keep him, he refused to let go. After successfully leaving the team, he turned around and joined the Osmanthus Club.

This time, he didn't even put on a show, because He Luo's contract had expired, and he wasn't afraid of being held accountable by the Table Tennis Association.

As for Fan Xiaofan's possible resentment, Osmanthus Fragrance expressed that he didn't care, anyway, the enmity had already been forged the year before last.

It was precisely because of this incident that Fan Xiaofan went to the doctor in a hurry, went to the Jiangcheng team to ask Luo Zhihong for help, and was finally kicked out by Comrade Luo.

"The day after tomorrow, you must beat hard and hard. If you can beat 11:0, you will never fight 11:1, and beat as much humiliation as you can."

The short-haired sister Yu showed her extreme character as always: "This year we will fight blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and completely end all grievances with them, and let them lose their dignity and become a laughing stock!"

If an uninformed outsider heard this tone, they probably thought it was an ancient costume martial arts movie, and the heroine who spoke must have a blood feud...

Wang Chao was more concerned about another question: "Sister Xian, I would venture to ask, if you beat the opponent 11:0, will there be any bonus?"

Fan Xiaoxian smiled, as dazzling as when she first met at the entrance of the club half a month ago, she leaned over and patted Wang Chao on the shoulder with an elegant and feminine fragrance: "As long as you listen to sister, sister You must be given more than what you want...you know."

Geng Shuai coughed lightly at the side, and Fan Xiaoxian realized that his actions were somewhat ambiguous, so he quickly stepped back and said, "Sister is talking about material rewards, don't think too much about it."

After a day's rest, the Q of Spades team took the high-speed train to Jinling City, Jiangsu Province.

As for why they didn't take the plane, Fan Xiaoxian didn't say, and everyone didn't ask.

Jiangsu province is far more prosperous than northern Hubei, and it is one of the famous "Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai free shipping areas". Jinling is also one of the three most economically developed cities in Jiangsu province, so on the high-speed rail, everyone was a little excited, discussing how to fight After the game, where should I go for shopping, and what are the delicious and fun things to do.

Fan Xiaoxian did not stop, but offered some suggestions.

In the final analysis, Osmanthus Fragrance is not considered a strong team, and it does not deserve too much attention from everyone.

Osmanthus Fragrant's lineup this year has changed compared to last year. Their first order is a native of Sakura, named Yoshikawa Hiroshi. Yoshikawa Hiroshi played the second single in a strong team in the Northeast last year, and he was scooped up by Osmanthus Fragrant in exactly the same way. over here.

So now Yang Chi is the second dan and He Luo is the third dan. The entire lineup is very similar to the Q of Spades the year before last, except that the [-]st dan has changed from Geng Shuai to Yoshikawa Hiroshi.

Therefore, this year's Osmanthus Fragrance is still not considered a strong team. At best, it is a mid-range team like Spade Q from the previous year.

Near noon, the high-speed train arrived at the station, and the club arranged for basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, but when everyone put away their salutes and assembled, they saw Fan Xiaoxian's face was a bit ugly.

"Such a big club really doesn't want face. Nouveau riche is nouveau riche. They don't have any competitive spirit when it comes to sports. No wonder they can't buy good players, so they can only rely on poaching corners."

While complaining, Fan Xiaoxian explained to everyone: "We are here for an away game. According to the usual practice, the home team provides us with a training ground, but when I called, they said that something happened temporarily and there is no place to practice now. , at least until tomorrow afternoon to make room.”

Everyone looked at each other, Geng Shuai asked: "Then what should I do?"

Fan Xiaoxian snorted coldly: "Isn't it just the venue? What's the matter? I've already contacted a private arena. Let's book the court for two days first, so as not to delay your training... I just feel a little disgusted."

　Thank you for the 1500 starting coin reward from "Stay Less on the Road", and thank you for the monthly pass of "Sheep and Sheep 2015" "Stay Less on the Road".
