I traveled through time and became a cute girl, I just want to be a fun person

Chapter 334: People's reactions after returning to school
Jiang Yuan's victory also earned her the appreciation of some senior figures of the national table tennis team, such as the "fat man who doesn't understand the game" and the "empire's commander" Liu Guoliang. He really admires players with big hearts, who are very tough at critical moments and have a unique competitive temperament.

In fact, Jiang Yuan's outstanding performance also slapped the faces of some people in the coaching team. In sports like the national table tennis team, there are many factions and it is not a monolithic entity. Resources are also limited. It all depends on which players to invest in.

Even the most talented players have to go through a growth process, and the more opportunities they have to play in high-level competitions, the faster they will naturally grow.

For some players who are being trained as key players and have good resources, even if they perform badly in foreign wars, the coaching staff is willing to continue investing resources and wait for them to grow.

Some veteran fans previously questioned whether some members of the coaching staff had "ulterior motives" and "forcing things to happen", and they were not wrong.

It is really unreasonable to arrange a talented young player who should play in the youth group competition so early to play in the adult WTT event.

You know, even though WTT's regular challenge is just a small competition of 400 points, it is much more difficult than the youth group competition.

At her age, according to the traditional training model of the national table tennis team, she should have trained in competitions such as the "Asian Youth Championship" and the "World Youth Championship", and her opponents would have been players of the same age from other countries. However, she skipped all of this. Of course, if Jiang Yuan really participated in such competitions, it would be too bullying.

So it felt like the coaching staff deliberately arranged for Jiang Yuan to play this game, and then as a rookie and inexperienced player, it was natural for her to lose, and then they could justifiably reduce her resources, and finally slowly marginalize her.

However, no one would have expected that although it was clearly a deliberate "forcing growth" and even "overpraising", Jiang Yuan relied on his extraordinary talent to fight his way out and eventually won the championship of this competition!
Obviously, those coaches with ulterior motives were dumbfounded, because in their minds, no matter how talented a player is, he needs to accept their guidance to stand out in the field of table tennis. This is the real source of merit and belongs to the inheritance of the champion.

As for a "wild talent" like Jiang Yuan who seems to have sprung out of a stone, no matter how talented he is, it doesn't matter. The Chinese table tennis team has never lacked talents or champions, and no one is irreplaceable. This is the mysterious confidence of some coaches in the coaching team.

When the coaches found out that Jiang Yuan had a very bad attitude towards training and that she was even competing in figure skating, a Winter Olympic sport, it was outrageous. At the same time, she was very selfish when playing and did not accept the coaches' advice, of course they were unhappy.

So it is not surprising that such a "forcing growth" drama was staged. Even during the entire game, Jiang Yuan did not have a coach on the sidelines to guide him.

These coaches obviously underestimated Jiang Yuan, because she was not a genius at all, she was clearly a hacker. Geniuses need to be fed and fed with resources to grow, but hackers can be quickly trained by adding points and gaining experience...

Originally, the coaches wanted to let her experience the feeling of failure so that she would understand how important it is to receive the most professional guidance.

Now, the "unruly" Jiang Yuan has slapped the faces of some old-school coaches with his magical performance!

From now on, her status in the Chinese women's table tennis team will definitely rise sharply!

After all, the real top leaders of the national table tennis team still care most about the players' performance. Since you have the ability to disobey the coach and still win, then you are really awesome. In addition, Jiang Yuan has such a huge traffic value. Maybe in the future, the niche table tennis can be further expanded and marketed to attract more fans. It is natural for her to continue to get the opportunity to be sent to participate in the competition.

The funniest thing is that Jiang Yuan still hasn't entered the national team yet. This is still related to her blank resume. After all, many of the main players in the national team were selected when they were teenagers, and gradually upgraded from the youth team, the youth team, and the second team. They all showed their talents when they were young. Some grew up to be mediocre and did not play well. Some won championships since childhood and quickly became the main players after adulthood...

Jiang Yuan will definitely be selected into the national team next. The top leaders of the national table tennis team will not let go of such a talented person. She will also get more resources to play in more important competitions with higher points.

Under the secret manipulation of the top leaders of the national table tennis team, the power of the media was further mobilized, all of which were touting how talented Jiang Yuan was and how miraculous it was that she won the championship in this tournament. It was said that before the game, professionals and AI predicted that her chance of winning was only 7%, but in the end her performance broke those predictions that were not optimistic about her.

After further marketing like this, of course some people were very disgusted with this overwhelming campaign, and obviously felt that Jiang Yuande was not worthy of the position.

It was just a small competition in a regular challenge match. Is it necessary to brag so much after winning? It's really confusing!

The most important thing is that during the media marketing, in order to expand the circle, more marketing points were placed on Jiang Yuan's appearance, and then they also liked to brag about her calm and elegant temperament during the competition, and said that she had the potential to become a big devil in the future.

The media loves to hype up loan champions, use all kinds of marketing to create idols, and once they win a small championship, they want to blow it up into a grand slam that is expected in the future.

As we all know, sometimes when a girl is too beautiful, the outside world will look at her with tinted glasses and subconsciously ignore her own talents. Some people will even come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories, always thinking that this beautiful girl just relies on her face to get to the top.

When Jiang Yuan was being praised by the media, there were of course still many people who developed a rebellious mentality and thought that there was nothing to brag about. It was normal for a super genius to appear in the national table tennis team and win the championship in his first professional tournament, wasn't it?

And this is the women's table tennis team. China is far ahead in the field of women's table tennis. Looking around the world as a competitor, only the island nation of Japan can put up a little resistance. Of course, there have been cases where the women's table tennis teams of other countries have unexpectedly defeated the Chinese women's table tennis team, but the probability of that happening is really too low... In summary, from the era of Deng Yaping until now, the Chinese women's table tennis team has been invincible. So even if a super genius like Jiang Yuan appears, for the people who are accustomed to the invincibility of the Chinese women's table tennis team, it is just icing on the cake.

"What does it matter if there is one more or one less such genius in the field of table tennis? If Jiang Yuan is really awesome, then she should go to other weak sports in China to win glory for the country. Only then will she be qualified to be marketed. Now this kind of excessive marketing seems like the table tennis circle has tasted the sweetness of fan circleization, so path dependence has been formed, and she has to forcibly deify her. When she loses in a key competition in the future, she will face backlash!" A netizen who is not used to the excessive marketing practice commented sharply.

This netizen's sharp comments were also recognized by many netizens who hate marketing. They probably developed ptsd, because these days there are indeed many people who are unworthy of their positions but have risen to the top through marketing. They just took shortcuts, and in the end their end was - live streaming to sell goods.

The hyped-up traffic needs to be monetized and harvested. Apart from endorsing products, bringing goods is undoubtedly the best way. There are always those fans who pay for love. Otherwise, how can we say that fan circles in this era are a new type of religion? They will not feel cheated by paying for their beliefs, but will feel a kind of spiritual fulfillment and satisfaction.

……

Jiang Yuan, who successfully completed this race, does not need to prepare for the next race as intensively and non-stop as other professional players. After all, the WTT events are held one after another throughout the year, and the points obtained in these events can determine the world ranking.

Sometimes such competitions are held at almost the same time in different locations. For example, in a 400-point competition held in China, top foreign players often do not want to participate. If there is another place holding the competition at the same time, they will go there to participate.

Ultimately, the foundation of the Chinese table tennis circle is too strong. It is extremely difficult for them to score points in a competition held in China. However, if they participate in a competition where there are no Chinese players, they may be able to win the championship, and then the world ranking points will naturally be earned.

Therefore, some players, no matter how high their world rankings are, are just "scoring points" in the eyes of veteran fans. These score-scoring players like to participate in competitions where there are no Chinese players participating...

Jiang Yuan returned to the relaxed and leisurely campus, and about a week later, as the news of her winning the WTT Jinyang Regular Challenge Tournament spread, her fame in the school became even greater.

Principal Kong Weiguo, who is always ambitious and utilitarian, even arranged for his subordinates to put up a banner with the classic sentence structure of "Warm congratulations to our student Jiang Yuan for winning..." to congratulate her on her achievements in the professional table tennis arena.

No matter what, this is also a reflection of the achievements of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School's "quality education"!

Principal Kong Weiguo is a very thick-skinned person. As mentioned before, he is also a table tennis enthusiast, known as the "Ma Long of No. 1 Middle School". He once competed with Jiang Yuan, but was tortured to death by the opponent's "old man" style of play.

Now he recalled the glorious days on the table with Jiang Yuan, and he felt so proud of it. Even world-class players like Ito Mima and Wang Yidi lost to Jiang Yuan, so he also lost. Rounding it off, isn't it the same as there being no difference between him and those world-class players? They're going to lose anyway, so I can play as well!

So at various dinner parties, after a few drinks, he would start bragging -

"I played basketball with Jiang Yuan, our schoolmate who just won the championship. We were evenly matched. It was hard for her to deal with my control style. And do you know why her left hand is so powerful? Because I am left-handed. I set an example for her!"

Kong Weiguo's nonsense did hit some points by accident, that is, Jiang Yuan's "left-handed" entry, which was really the reward he got by torturing Principal Lao Deng.

In short, Kong Weiguo, who was overjoyed with the glory achieved by Jiang Yuan, did not blush at all when he boasted about it. What he said was not false, but he just made artistic processing based on the facts.

Anyway, Jiang Yuan has now become the most perfect student in the eyes of the principal of No. 1 Middle School. First of all, his grades in all subjects are impeccable. As long as he can maintain this performance, he will definitely be able to compete for the provincial top spot in the future.

Secondly, he has also shown extraordinary talent in the field of mathematics competitions. He will definitely achieve something in the CMO next. As for the provincial first prize, he will definitely win it!
Now, Jiang Yuan can even play table tennis in the professional arena, and he has defeated two main players from Japan in a row, and at the same time, he has surpassed two golden flowers from China and finally won the championship!
Although this event is just a small competition, the draw is really hard. Even if you play in a tournament with a higher score, it won't be much harder than this.

Kong Weiguo knew a lot about basketball. He also knew that Jiang Yuan's final opponent, Wang Yidi, was a very strong player. But he really didn't expect that Jiang Yuan could go all the way and win the championship.

In this case, of course he would praise Jiang Yuan a lot. After all, he had really played basketball with Jiang Yuan. To be honest, Jiang Yuan was recommended to practice basketball with the provincial team because of the key role played by his physical education teacher in school. All the teachers in the school were his subordinates, so as a leader, he should have at least half the credit, right?
Moreover, it was after the physical education teacher Yu Xiangrong watched the table tennis match between him, the principal, and Jiang Yuan that he discovered the other party's extraordinary talent, which led to her subsequent fate with the Jiangzhou provincial team.

Of course, Kong Weiguo certainly didn't think that Jiang Yuan could become so famous just by playing table tennis. He thought Jiang Yuan was just a soy sauce player in the provincial team. Anyway, in her own words, she said that she was just a small sparring partner, and it was more interesting to play with masters...

He had no idea that Jiang Yuan's so-called sparring partner was actually going there to "brush up on dungeons to gain experience." The provincial team's dungeon was definitely a high-level dungeon, and the Jiangzhou provincial team was quite strong, which naturally allowed her to make rapid progress.

This time, Jiang Yuan fought against so many powerful players along the way, and she also "fought to support the fight" and "became braver with each fight". In the end, she won the championship and successfully completed the system's side quests. Naturally, she also gained a lot. Her experience in table tennis skills has increased a lot, and she will become even stronger in the future.

In addition to Principal Kong Weiguo's high praise for Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan's classmates also felt it was amazing. How could a table tennis genius suddenly appear in their class?
