Wang Chao went to watch both of Lin Zijun's games. It was more than two o'clock in the night. Watching these top players representing the highest level in the world fighting fiercely under the spotlight, Wang Chao could only feel his heartbeat rising.

In his previous life, he had been to those scenes countless times, but he always sat behind the fence, with his disciple's coat on his lap and a sports drink or banana prepared for his disciple in his hand.

But in this life, he will go to that place as a player.

Soon.

It's really fast!

Masters all over the world, please give me some more time.

At most... it only takes half a year.

wait for me!

He turned off the screen of his mobile phone, lay on the bedside and let out a long breath. Then he suddenly remembered that he still had some news that he had not read.

He turned his phone back on and continued searching at Silver Ball Dance Forum.

The biggest hot spot today is Lin Zijun, and the second hot spot is the Table Tennis Super League matchup between the Imperial City team and the Magic City team.

In Table Tennis First Division, the Imperial City and the Magic City had no teams at all, but in Table Tennis Super League, these two cities, representing the political and economic centers of China respectively, had unique advantages in recruiting soldiers from all over the country and raised two of the strongest teams.

Imperial Capital Panlong.

Magic City Fire Phoenix.

Today's matchup between dragon and phoenix ended with Huofeng narrowly winning 3:2. In the first game, Panlong's single Xiao Fei, who was the main player of the national team, faced off against Firebird's single Bai Feng, who was also the main player of the national team. In the end, Xiao Fei won 3:2.

In the last game, the two sides met again by coincidence. The difference was that this time Bai Feng defeated Xiao Fei 3:2 and had the last laugh. It also helped Huofeng win the most critical point in the first round of Table Tennis Super League.

Wang Chao continued to scroll back until he reached the third page of the forum, and finally saw the news about Table Tennis First Division.

I have to say that in the Chinese table tennis world, although Table Tennis First Division can support himself, his popularity is really far behind, and he is completely like a stepmother.

"Table Tennis First Division short message: Table Tennis First Division finished the ninth round today. After defeating Chuncheng, Bingcheng Pharmaceutical Club defeated Bincheng again 1:3. In this battle, Poseidon Club scored two points with a single Zhu Ding. They still maintain their undefeated status this season, and although Bingcheng Pharmaceutical only won one game, they also maintained the record of winning all doubles this season."

Poseidon is still strong...

For Poseidon Club and Zhu Ding, Wang Chao has done special homework and checked a lot of information.

Poseidon Club in the first two years was not that strong. Although Zhu Ding was invincible in singles, because their teammates were not strong enough, although they always made it to the playoffs, they only won two championships after making six playoff appearances.

When faced with the promotion and relegation match against Super League, Poseidon Club failed to seize the opportunity twice.

——After all, there is no weakling in Table Tennis Super League, but Poseidon's barrel effect is too obvious.

So this year, Poseidon Club introduced a new person named Ma Angxing.

Ma Angxing is a complete newcomer. He was personally found by Poseidon Club's head coach Wang Shou. Very few people in the circle know his background. He seems to have jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. In a sense, he is somewhat similar to Wang Chao.

But as soon as he came, he took away the third single position and pushed the original third single to the bench. Then he showed extremely strong strength in the first nine rounds of the game.

After nine rounds, Ma Angxing won seven of the nine doubles games.

In the two doubles losses, the opponents were "Jingyue Bay" and "Bingcheng Pharmaceutical" who were both Northeastern Big Three.

As for the singles, because he was in three singles, he only played three games, and one of them was lost to the reborn Hu Buming, so his record was not good, but watching his game process, it is definitely worthy of praise.

So Poseidon Club also openly announced at the beginning of this season: This year we will not only win the championship, but also enter Table Tennis Super League!

Wang Chao carefully watched Ma Angxing's singles and doubles today, then closed his eyes and thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a way to break the game.

He found that this Ma Angxing's playing was too simple, so simple that there was no flaw at all, it was all hard work. His golf IQ was not high, and his playing skills were not agile, but he was precise and impeccable. These were the basic skills produced by Thousand Hammers Hundred Refinements.

For this kind of person, when the physical power is much stronger than that of the opponent, the opponent has no chance to steal the chicken.

Wang Chao thought hard and desperately, but no matter what, he could not imagine the possibility of Spade Q winning against Poseidon.

Brother Geng vs Zhu Ding, even if you are in good condition, it is difficult to win.

In the doubles, the outcome is unpredictable, but objectively speaking, Poseidon is actually slightly better. After all, the doubles match in which Spade Q defeated Jingyue Bay was actually a strange move, targeting the chipper Sun Yuanqiang. But when encountering Poseidon, there are no surprises, so we can only honestly fight for our strength.

As for the other games.

Brother Geng's second singles game basically gave away points.

Lu Jia or Tian Zhengguang's singles, whoever they meet will lose.

Even if it is your own singles, if you happen to meet Zhu Ding who is playing for the second time, what chance do you have of winning?

Based on this calculation, there is not even a stable scoring point.

Spade Q everyone left the Jingyuewan Club training base at seven in the morning and embarked on the road to Heishui Province Bingcheng City.

It was probably to retaliate for Jingyue Bay's crazy drinking yesterday, or maybe Fan Xiaoxian was really bullied by Fang Yuan last night. In short, before leaving, Fan Xiaoxian made arrangements to give Jingyue Bay a gift to thank them for their "warm hospitality" last night.

Everyone brainstormed and thought for a long time but couldn't think of any good solution. Finally Fan Xiaoxian made the decision to write a couplet and give it to Fang Yuan.

But what to write?

Got yin and yang weird.

The opponent must be furious but there is nothing they can do.

But it cannot affect the friendship between the two parties.

You must also have literary talent.

Several older men with low levels of education accompanied Fan Xiaoxian and stared at him. In the end, Wang Chao suddenly felt blessed and thought of copying a few sentences from countless poems in his previous life.

So the couplet was written, saying: Sister Yuan has a clever plan to calm the world, but she loses points and loses troops.

It fully demonstrates the cultural advantages of "students who failed the college entrance examination" in front of "students with sports specialties".

Fan Xiaoxian wrote the couplets himself, laid them out on the floor of the room, and arranged them neatly so that Fang Yuan could see them as soon as he entered the door.

Finally, I will write a horizontal comment: shave my head.

Everyone walked away until they got on the high-speed train, hundreds of miles away, when suddenly everyone shivered in unison.

Obviously, this is Fang Yuan who is far away in Spring City and finally sees the couplet...

The climate of Bingcheng City is slightly colder than that of Chuncheng City, but for the young guys, it is still enough to wear single clothes on the streets. However, this time, Bingcheng Pharmaceutical Club, who is also a Northeastern man, is far less enthusiastic than Jingyuewan Club.

Facts have proved that whether the people are enthusiastic or not has nothing to do with the North and the South, but only has to do with whether they have friendship or not.

Everyone settled down step by step, and then began training intensively, while the Bingcheng Pharmaceutical team members were training in another venue, and the two sides did not see each other to avoid leaking tactics.

That night, the members of both sides met just to "say hello." Wang Chao found that the three main players of Bingcheng Pharmaceutical had sharp eyes. Facing Spade Q, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Wang Chao means understanding.

After all, Spade Q has now won all nine games and is ranked first with Poseidon Club. However, Bingcheng Pharmaceutical first lost to Jingyue Bay and then Poseidon within this week. It was obvious that he had one more game, but he only won seven games, just being suppressed by Spade Q.

Therefore, Spade Q at this time belongs to the arrogant soldier. The arrogant soldier is easily defeated. He needs to calm down and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

But Bingcheng Pharmaceutical is a sad soldier who needs to fight back desperately.

It is conceivable that their coach must have done a lot of ideological work in private, and probably regarded the battle three days later as a battle of life and death from beginning to end.

In this case, Wang Chao took Geng Shuai to practice ball early in the morning.

But today Geng Shuai said, "No fight."

Wang Chao wondered, "Why?"

"Because I want to nourish my energy and my belief that I will win the battle."

Geng Shuai said seriously, "Wang Chao, I will not practice with you again before I finish playing Bingcheng Pharmaceutical. After I finish playing Bingcheng Pharmaceutical, I will practice with you seriously for three days. I promise that I will not be absent, not late, not leave early, and will not mess up. Even if you beat me to a pulp, I will definitely stick to it."

Wang Chao was in awe at this moment.

Although this dialogue seems a bit out of place, Wang Chao fully understands what Geng Shuai means.

Brother Geng wants to score two points in the next round.

Yes, Spade Q, whose confidence was low when the competition started in early August, has lifted everyone's spirits after nine consecutive rounds of wild victories!

Tian Zhengguang, who was originally at odds with Wang Chao, corrected his attitude.

Gao Ming, who originally had low self-esteem and was weak, mustered up the courage.

Lu Jia, who was originally the second player, was willing to make various sacrifices for the team's victory.

And Geng Shuai, who had already regarded Table Tennis First Division as a pension, has completely come back to life.

Everyone is like a rope, everyone wants to win. Although they say "in order to help Wang Chao win the victory, let him owe us a favor", in fact, it is because everyone has a dream in their hearts.

Geng Shuai, who returned from treatment, is still afraid of heights, but he no longer drinks or stays up late. He stays on the court every day. Although he still gets a habit of losing power after playing for a while, he at least does not escape, but works hard to overcome it.

Three days later, facing Bingcheng Pharmaceutical's game, Geng Shuai was very serious about making a breakthrough.

He wants to win two singles matches.

Because he knew that Bingcheng Pharmaceutical, the opponent, might be more difficult to defeat than Poseidon Club in a sense for Wang Chao.

Why?

Because when playing against Poseidon, Wang Chao had a lot of confidence in winning in doubles, but in singles, if he and Zhu Ding faced each other, they would still be 50-50.

But against Bingcheng Pharmaceutical, doubles is almost certain to lose.

Bingcheng Pharmaceutical's doubles player, second single Liu Qiwen, third single Ma Hui, is known as "Table Tennis First Division's only doubles player".

Table Tennis First Division There are several other well-known doubles partners, Xiangshui River and Hu Brothers are new, Jingyue Bay's Sun Yuanqiang and Li Huashan have only been paired for one year, and Poseidon's triple singles Ma Angxing is a newcomer, so the partner has only been paired for one year.

As for Spade Q's doubles, so far Wang Chao has been paired with different teammates in bulk, and the lineup has not even been fixed.

But Liu Qiwen and Ma Hui have been equipped for five years.

Liu Qiwen is twenty-seven years old this year, Ma Hui is twenty-eight years old this year, and Yang Yingzi, the single player of Bingcheng Pharmaceutical, is twenty-nine years old this year...

Doesn't it look weird?

In fact, among Northeastern Big Three, only the lineup of Bingcheng Pharmaceutical has not changed at all for five years. These main players are all veterans and may retire collectively in one or two years.

Therefore, Bingcheng Pharmaceutical's strength is relatively fixed, and its performance is surprisingly stable. It will never lose to someone weaker than them, and it is difficult to defeat someone stronger than them.

As for the doubles team of Liu Qiwen and Ma Hui, they achieved a terrifying eighty-four-match winning streak in four seasons from last spring to this fall, the regular season plus the playoffs.

This is simply an appalling record!

Last night, Fan Xiaoxian called everyone together to discuss the order of the matches. No matter how they were arranged, the situation was the same. Spade Q's current strongest player, Wang Chao, could not win the doubles no matter who he paired with. This meant that Wang Chao could only score one point.

Under the premise that Geng Shuai must play one single, there is only one way for Spade Q to win, and that is for Geng Shuai to win two singles.

Beside the table, Lu Jia, Gao Ming, and Tian Zhengguang all had slight astonishment on their faces.

They guessed that Wang Chao would one day defeat Brother Geng in the first game in the morning, but they did not expect that day to come so quickly.

Geng Shuai clearly rejected Wang Chao at this time, which is enough to explain the problem.

But their astonishment did not last long, because Geng Shuai's eyes quickly locked on Tian Zhengguang: "Xiaotian, come here and practice with me."

Tian Zhengguang A face turned into a bitter melon.

He knows what Geng Shuai wants to do.

Geng Shuai wants to find confidence in him.

That is what Geng Shuai and Wang Chao said, "Give me the belief that I will win."

After all, Lu Jia played too steadily, Gao Ming played too conservatively, and he was the only one who played rough and fiery, while Brother Geng has always been a "you are fierce, I am more fierce than you" player, so Brother Geng has the most pleasure in playing himself...

It is conceivable that in the past three days, I will probably be miserable.

Today's two updates are over, there are no more updates. See you tomorrow.
