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

Chapter 412 She is the hope of the future
If an event like the National Table Tennis Championships were held in the past, no matter who won, it probably wouldn't cause much of a stir, after all, its traffic and attention were really not high.

Again, even though table tennis is the so-called "national sport", most ordinary people only pay attention to it in major competitions such as the "Olympic Games" and enjoy the "stable happiness" of the national table tennis team winning gold medals.

However, less enthusiastic viewers will pay attention to the "World Championships" and "World Cup" in addition to the Olympics. After all, they belong to the so-called "three major competitions" and are also events where the national flag is raised.

Unlike commercial events like WTT, although winning more championships in WTT events can also get world ranking points and determine your world ranking position, these points are just like the rank points in a game ranking. Sometimes high points and a high world ranking do not mean that you can fight tough battles. When you go to a major competition at a critical moment, you will still be defeated by others.

Since Jiang Yuan participated in the National Table Tennis Championships, it naturally greatly increased the attention of this event and played a very positive and active role in the promotion of table tennis.

In addition, she lived up to expectations and won the championship. The whole process of "fighting monsters and upgrading" was extremely entertaining and achieved perfect results. This made those table tennis fans who were already attracted by her even more fascinated by her!

What is even more rare is that there are many online fans who come here because of her high traffic. While watching her games, they are attracted by her highly entertaining playing style and then, like being addicted, they get to know the sport in depth and learn more details about Jiang Yuan herself.

An event that used to receive very little attention in the National Championships has been on Weibo and Douyin’s hot searches countless times just because of Jiang Yuan’s participation. Of course, some of the attention was paid by the official, but there were also some loyal fans who spontaneously publicized and promoted it, which increased the traffic.

You know, no matter which player Jiang Yuan plays against, she can always play the kind of magical balls that are suitable for being edited into "short video" highlights. This unique, spiritual, and flashy style of play is actually very rare among female players!
In the past, when fans watched the highlights of table tennis videos, they basically watched the fancy moves made by male players. The classic representatives were the "People's Artist of Table Tennis", "Big Python" Xu Xin, Japan's "Mr. Niwa", etc. Their ball sense was so great that sometimes they were clearly just hitting the ball randomly, but they could still make a return that would amaze the audience, and they wanted everyone to stand up and cheer for that ball.

As Jiang Yuan's tennis skills improved, she no longer cared about winning or losing, so she naturally became more and more willful when playing. At the same time, because most female players could not bring her any pressure, she naturally did more fancy moves more frequently, which of course the audience loved to see.

To be fair, table tennis is not as entertaining as some other big team sports, such as football, basketball, and even tennis and badminton. Anyone who has bought a ticket to watch a match live can draw this conclusion through comparison. Maybe watching table tennis on TV is better than watching it live...

It is said that what one pursues when watching a game live is the atmosphere, but the problem is that in the past, the tickets for table tennis matches were not sold out at all, so there was no atmosphere at the scene.

However, as the fan circle of the national table tennis team is in full swing, there are more and more spectators at the game. However, these spectators are not so much here to watch the game as to come to see specific people. Even in a civil war between national table tennis players, there will be one-sided cheers, as if the other player was a foreigner.

Jiang Yuan's sudden appearance, coupled with her extremely funny playing style, has attracted a wave of fans who really like to watch the game rather than the people. After watching Jiang Yuan's game, they all said it was exciting and shared their feelings on the Internet.

"Her (Jiang Yuan) playing style is really enjoyable to watch. It feels like she plays wildly without any rules. She makes one move after another. Her ball sense is so great and she is so talented!"

"I finally understand why Jiang Yuan seems to have a 50-50 chance of winning against anyone she plays against. It's because while others are playing a game, she's just playing a highlight reel. Some balls are obviously great opportunities to score, but because she fails to put up a lot of tricks and loses points, others get the points instead..."

"Every time I watch Jiang Yuan play, I can't help but laugh out loud, because after she retreats and hits a high ball, she runs all over the court like she's playing tennis. It's so joyful. The most difficult thing is that if the opponent loses points with this ball, their mentality will immediately become unbalanced and their morale will drop sharply. Her multi-round tormenting style of play is really too psychologically demanding!"

"The most undisciplined player in the national table tennis team is Jiang Yuan! I think she is wasting her talent. Why doesn't anyone do anything about it? Damn, every time I watch her play, I have to prepare a quick-acting heart-saving pill. The whole process is full of ups and downs, which not only tortures the opponents, but also the audience!"

"I remembered the WTT Grand Slam event I watched in Beijing. It seemed to be the first time Jiang Yuan played against the little devil Sun Yingsha. After she tied with Sun Yingsha 2-2, she successfully won the fifth game. Everyone was excited at the time, thinking that she could beat the 'little devil' as soon as she debuted. But in the sixth game, she played fancy again and lost her touch. She was tight in the seventh and decisive game, but still lost with a score of 10-12. If it were other young players, they would have praised them for 'honoring in defeat', but for her, we, the only fans, just want to MUA her to death. Such a good situation, but she lost it. It's so infuriating!"

"Fuck, the feelings shared above brought back painful memories for me. That 2,000-point Grand Slam tournament really messed up the fans' mentality. The key is that after losing, she was still happy. Should we say she has a big heart or is heartless? Anyway, if fans don't have a big heart, then they should not go to watch Jiang Yuan play."

"It's not shameful to lose to Shasha, who is ranked first in the world by a large margin. Anyone who knows about tennis can see that Shasha is stronger in terms of physical strength. Jiang Yuan did so many fancy moves to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. The effect was really good at the beginning, but then Shasha got used to it and naturally fell into a disadvantage. In fact, there is no need to set such high standards for young players. Besides, her winning rate in foreign games is 100%. Who among the new generation of women's table tennis players can compare to her?" "I'm also an old fan who has watched tennis for more than 20 years, starting from the generation of Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui After watching it, and having experienced the era of "Two Kings and One Ma" and "Three Musketeers", I always felt that compared with men's table tennis, women's table tennis is much less entertaining to watch. Moreover, the top players among our Chinese women's table tennis players, generation after generation of big demons, seem to be carved from the same mold, that is, the tomboy with short hair, playing in a rigid and expressionless manner, all for the pursuit of victory and gold medals... But now, the appearance of Jiang Yuan has made me have a strong interest in watching women's table tennis for the first time. Her playing style really understands traffic!"

……

Obviously, many fans have already noticed that Jiang Yuan, a female player with a strong personality and no discipline, sometimes deliberately adopts the "playing style with the highest number of barrages", as if she had signed a "barrage contract" with the national table tennis team.

This kind of playing style sometimes not only affects the opponent's mentality, but also the audience, especially those fans who like her.

Some fans actually go to watch table tennis matches not to see how exciting the game is, but just hope that the players they support can win, the easier the win, the better. They want to pursue "stable happiness."

As a result, when Jiang Yuan plays, sometimes the result cannot be determined until the deciding game. This is too stressful for those fans. If she wins in the end, it's fine, but if she loses, they will be very upset.

After Jiang Yuan found out that she could actually gain "pain value" by losing, she naturally became more willful and let herself go. Originally, she relied on her opponents to gain "pain value" and preferred the "torture flow" and old man-like style of play. Later, after she found out that the "pain value" of the audience and fans could also be gained, she naturally came up with a set of "script flow" style of play, which was to add all kinds of drama to make the whole game full of ups and downs and suspense.

As a result, she naturally became an outlier in the national table tennis team, but no one could control her. After all, other players only had the option of playing table tennis, and their careers were completely tied to table tennis. However, Jiang Yuan had too many options. Without talking about anything else, her figure skating career was no worse than table tennis.

In mid-December, she will participate in the national figure skating championships. As long as she can win the championship like she did in the current table tennis championships, her fame will definitely be greatly enhanced. Before that, she has participated in some youth figure skating competitions of not very high levels, and her results were pretty good, but she did not cause any waves.

Her fans are not unaware that she has a hobby of figure skating, but perhaps because she has risen so quickly in the field of table tennis, and she has only been in the industry for a short time, she can already compete with the top female table tennis players, so naturally everyone focuses on the field of table tennis...

In addition, Jiang Yuan’s sudden emergence is also a huge benefit to those commentators and analysis bloggers who make a living from the traffic of the sport of table tennis!
Originally, many table tennis analysis bloggers were worried about the future of the Chinese women's table tennis team based on the previous situation. After the "Five Golden Flowers", there were no outstanding players among the new generation. However, the talented girl Zhang Benmihe from the neighboring island country has already participated in the Olympics, and her tennis skills are improving very fast, with a visibly impactful impact.

Looking at the entire Chinese women's table tennis team, it seems that only the "little devil" Sun Yingsha can beat Zhang Ben Miwa. But even though she has defeated Zhang Ben Miwa many times, if you look at the specific content of the game, you will find that Zhang Ben Miwa is getting harder and harder to beat, and her impact is getting stronger and stronger!
These bloggers saw it and were anxious, and the fans in the fan circle, championship fans, and cloud fans who were paying more and more attention to table tennis were of course also very anxious. They all liked to exaggerate Zhang Benmeiwa's talent and strength. There was even a "surrender faction" among them. They said that the parents of Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmeiwa, the brother and sister, were originally from Sichuan, China, so it would be better to naturalize them back to the country. In this way, the future of the men's and women's table tennis teams would not have to worry about!
When they thought that the number one seed of the Chinese men's table tennis team in the future would be the controversial traffic king who lacks hard power, they felt a sense of darkness in front of their eyes. They had a premonition that the traffic king would be a big failure in the Olympics. Even if he is ranked first in the world, there is a great possibility that he will fail. This is not hindsight. People who understand the game have long seen what a nervous player he is. Of course, he has an upper limit, but it's a pity that he is too unstable and extremely bad at playing against the wind.

Let's not talk about the situation of the Chinese men's table tennis team. Anyway, with more and more strong players from abroad, the future of the men's table tennis team is quite bleak. The most crucial thing is the young players behind. I don't see anyone who can take on the leading responsibility. Therefore, it is very likely that we will return to the era of "warring states" in the future, rather than the Chinese national table tennis team dominating the world. This is actually a historical law. Geniuses have cycles, and it is impossible for geniuses to emerge every moment.

But when Jiang Yuan emerged as a super genius or a freak genius, these "surrenderists" who had originally been very powerful and hoped to naturalize the Zhang Ben brothers and sisters were immediately counterattacked!
Because Jiang Yuan had "arrested" the Japanese talented girl Zhang Ben Miwa twice in the WTT competition before. Although the whole process was still thrilling to watch, everyone always felt that she was too unstable and could not beat Zhang Ben Miwa, who was improving rapidly. After all, if you really compare age, Jiang Yuan is even one year younger than her.

However, the result of the game naturally made the fans very happy. No matter how ups and downs the process was, let's just ask whether she won or not. What Jiang Yuan's fans are most proud of is her 100% winning rate in foreign games. Maybe every time she is about to lose, she nervously goes to the bathroom, and when she comes back to watch the game, she finds that she is ahead in the score, which is very frustrating. This happens to be the norm in Jiang Yuan's games.

It is precisely because Jiang Yuan is very tough in foreign wars and is very good at beating foreign players that some old-school people in the national table tennis team who are quite fed up with her undisciplined and extremely free and easy style of doing things have no way to deal with her. It just so happens that the construction of the women's table tennis team is also a mess, and there is no one to succeed the classics, so a "stinky and fragrant" genius like Jiang Yuan can only be used.

If we go back to the era of Guo Yue when there was a burst of talent, perhaps Jiang Yuan would have been hidden long ago. After all, if you don't play, there are plenty of people to take your place. But the current situation is that no one can take your place, especially the left-handed female table tennis player... So we can only pin our hopes for the future on Jiang Yuan!
