Almighty Coach

"Ten thousand years old" is obviously not a commendatory term. Most of the time, the term "ten-year-old second son" is more like irony.

Of course, if you want to be a "ten-year-old second child" in table tennis, you must also be the world's top athlete, and replace it with a table tennis player of average strength, even if you want to be this "ten-year old second child."

Hearing Yu Shuang's words, Li Dai also laughed dumbly.

The current Yushuang ranks second in the world, second only to Wang Anshan. Wang Anshan has ranked first in the world for three consecutive years, and Yushuang ’s second in the world is also very stable. In the past year, he has not gone down since rising to the second in the world.

And Yu Shuang's record in the last two years is also worthy of his second position in the world. In more than two years, Yu Shuang has won more than a dozen runner-ups in large and small competitions. Of course, he did not fail to win the championship at all, but by comparison, those who won the runner-up are relatively heavyweight.

Like the runner-up in the National Games, the runner-up in the Asian Cup, the runner-up in the World Table Tennis Championships, the runner-up in the ITTF Annual Finals, etc. It can be said that in the past two years, Yushuang "hidden strength" in the finals, and it is not surprising that he was called the "ten-year old second".

When Yu Shuang was doing live broadcasting, the audience and water friends always used the "10,000-year-old second" thing to tease Yu Shuang, which gave him the idea of ​​not wanting to continue the live broadcast.

When being anchored, the most feared thing is that there are people with rhythm on the barrage. Sometimes, those with rhythm on the barrage are really annoying. Even many old anchors who have lived for many years will be confused by the rhythm. collapse. And Yu Shuang is not a professional anchor. He is a professional athlete, and he is still under 20 years old. When he sees a full screen "ten-year-old second son", his mentality is naturally bouncing.

It is also for this reason that Yu Shuang did not even make up for eight hours of live broadcast last month.

Li Dai knows that with the strength of Yu Shuang, not every final is the runner-up. Although he is not as good as Wang Anshan in personal ability, he can count the number of times he met Wang Anshan in the finals of the international competition. , So his runner-up also includes losses to Cui Pengfei, Zuo Xiangxian and other national table tennis players.

And those major table tennis events that can enter the finals are all national table tennis players, who also have the strength to win the championship, and the teammates have a better understanding. Many times a balloon will determine the final victory. .

Since the "ten-year-old second son" who caused Yushuang is not a problem of strength, it is a psychological problem.

"Are there any special things that Yu Shuang encountered in a certain final, so he has a psychological shadow over the final and has not been overcome?" Li Dai couldn't help but recall the performance of Yu Shuang in the finals in recent times.

Since entering the National Table Tennis Team, Li Dai has also watched important events that National Table Tennis players have participated in. Not only have they watched, but also discussed with some of the coaches on the team. Of course, the so-called discussions are also said by others. Li Dai listens, Li Dai's professional level in table tennis is really inferior to those in charge of coaches.

"Yu Shuang, do you think that when you play in the finals, you always give up too early?" Li Dai continued: "Especially when playing with teammates, when the teammates lead you, I always think you play Is somewhat lax. "

Yu Shuang scratched his head: "Are you? No? Not every ball, I play very seriously."

Li Dai shook his head: "I'm just an individual coach, not a professional table tennis coach. Even I can feel it. I think many people can feel this."

Yu Shuang said nothing, and Li Dai went on to say: "Before the final, you will not have this kind of situation. You have a reasonable choice in play and tactics. You should fight, fight, grab. Robbing is generally very calm, and it makes people feel very down-to-earth. "

"But in the finals, I always feel that you are playing too rigid, lack of flexibility, and are not very reasonable in the selection of key balls. Sometimes I will rush to achieve success and lose patience, as if I have not calmly thought about the next How to play. It feels like I am going to complete a task. "

"Coach Li, I was really hit by you, and I will feel the same way." Su Shuang suddenly said: "A lot of times, when I reach the finals, I see that the opponent is my teammate. The feeling. I sometimes even think that anyway, the gold medals are already our national table tennis, so my win or lose does not matter. "

"Why do you feel this way?" Li Dai asked.

"I don't know." Yu Shuang shook his head.

"Don't you want to win in your heart?" Li Dai then asked.

"Of course I want to win!" Yu Shuang nodded very seriously: "Well, it must be to win the game."

"But your performance in the final made me feel that your desire for victory is not so strong." Li Dai said.

Yu Shuang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Maybe! Actually, I really think that playing table tennis is not fun."

Li Dai's eyes widened unexpectedly. The most talented ping pong player in the National Table Tennis Team has an S + grade horror talent. He is also slated to be the next generation successor of the National Table Tennis Team. He said that playing table tennis is not fun! It is difficult for Li Dai to imagine that a person who cannot find fun in table tennis will have such high achievements in table tennis.

"You should have practiced ball since childhood?" Li Dai asked subconsciously.

Yu Shuang nodded: "I started learning ball at the age of six. We have a key elementary school for table tennis. If we learn to play table tennis, we can avoid part of the tuition. My parents are ordinary people, the most common. The kind of salary is not rich in the family. At that time, my parents sent me to play table tennis in order to save tuition. "

Yu Shuang continued to introduce his own experience. His road afterwards was similar to other athletes of National Table Tennis. He showed his talents, was selected by the municipal sports school, and then experienced the city team and the provincial team.

Yu was selected to the national team at the age of fourteen and quickly showed up. At the age of sixteen he entered the first team. Then he scored in the trial and participated in the World Table Tennis Championships. Later, he also performed exceptionally in other international competitions, repeatedly achieving good results, and ranked eighth in the world at the age of 18.

After listening to Yu Shuang's introduction to his own experience, Li Dai frowned, and he realized a problem. When Yu Shuang participated in the ping pong game, it was more like catching a duck on the shelf.

Li Dai suddenly spoke, interrupting Yu Shuang's words: "Do you think, when you play table tennis, are you happy?"

"Happy?" Yu Shuangmeng was stunned. No one had ever asked him this question.

Li Dai then said: "To become a professional athlete, the first thing to do is to like this sports event and be able to feel happiness from this sports event. So, I ask you, when playing table tennis, you think Is it fast? "

Li Dai asked this question again, but Yu Shuang fell into silence.

After a long time, Yu Shuang finally said: "I don't know, I never thought about it."

"This is where your problem lies. You can come to this day with your talents and your efforts. Your talent in table tennis exceeds that of other 99.99% people. You pay for table tennis. The effort has also surpassed the vast majority of athletes, so you get the return you deserve. "

"But you haven't enjoyed happiness ~ www.readwn.com ~ Ping pong is a project that you have struggled with for more than ten years and a battlefield where you will continue to struggle in the coming decades. Have you ever thought about why you To play, who are you fighting for?

"Of course it is to fight for the country!" Yu Shuang blurted out.

"Nonsense, this is the training base of National Table Tennis, everyone here is for the country." Li Dai shook his head: "But this is not the only answer, nor is it the answer you are looking for."

"Is it for myself?" Yu Shuang looked at Li Dai with some doubt, and then he said: "Coach Gu once told me that choosing this path means taking table tennis as a lifelong career."

"Yes, so for you, table tennis is just a career, a job." Li Dai shook his head slightly: "This is not enough, at least for you, it is not enough."

"I still don't understand what you mean." Yu Shuang also shook his head.

Li Dai already had his own ideas, and his voice turned and said, "Otherwise, go to the mountain with me tomorrow weekend. Maybe going out to feel the natural scenery will help you."
