Everyone ate a lot of delicious and cheap seafood barbecues on the street, such as squid and shells. Because Bincheng is close to the sea, the seafood freshly fished out of the sea is fresh enough and does not need to be spicy or oily. It only needs to be simply grilled, brushed with a layer of spicy sauce, or spread with a layer of garlic, which is enough to fill your mouth with fresh food, which is very satisfying.
This night was a rare moment of relaxation, and it also allowed the three team members who came to Bin City for the first time to experience the mountains and rivers in different regions of China.
From the second day on, everyone entered the arduous special training in closed hell.
The game against Poseidon two days later will be Spade Q's most difficult battle this season.
In the outside world, a large number of media have made their attitude clear early on, believing that this is a "battle with no chance of winning" for Spade Q.
Even though Spade Q had just defeated Bingcheng Pharmaceutical, it could not change the direction of the trend.
This morning, Wang Chao could finally continue playing ball with Geng Shuai.
Although it is just a discussion within the team, everyone knows that this game is not simple. This is a milestone that Wang Chao has been challenging for two months, and it also represents the ownership of a certain title in the team.
On the last morning in Spring City, Wang Chao and Geng Shuai tied at 17:15 and lost due to diarrhea.
Since then, Geng Shuai has never fought against Wang Chao.
So at this time, other players and Fan Xiaoxian were standing on the sidelines, waiting to see whether today was the critical time point.
Ten minutes later, the first game ended. Geng Shuai was sitting on the bench next to the table, with a sweat towel on his shoulders and a little frustrated.
He lost.
Two months after defeating Wang Chao, he finally lost the game with 9:11 on the first morning in Binhai City.
This also means that he, once one of Six Little Dragons, no longer has any advantage over his little brother Wang Chao.
He is God of Openings, but he can no longer beat Wang Chao in the first game, which he is now said to be invincible.
"Then can Wang Chao beat Zhu Ding now?"
Fan Xiaoxian was quite surprised, and asked, "Zhu Ding couldn't beat you in the first game. Now Wang Chao has beaten you in the first game. Does that mean he has officially surpassed Zhu Ding?"
Lu Jia put it more clearly. "Does that mean we have a chance to defeat Poseidon?"
"What a joke!" Geng Shuai sneered, "You don't think that Zhu Ding really can't beat me in the first game, do you?"
Fan Xiaoxian frowned and said, "Isn't it?"
Geng Shuai shook his head. "Of course not."
"But... you have fought against each other for six years, and he has never beaten you in the first game."
Fan Xiaoxian rolled his eyes and suddenly realized that Watson had discovered a blind spot, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, everyone, please don't ask any more questions. Geng Shuai is in a bad mood today. Everyone, please be considerate of him. Come, come, practice and practice."
Geng Shuai was not happy. "What are you doing, Sister Xian, we have known each other for so many years, do you think I am a tough-talking person? I said Zhu Ding can beat me, not because I am being awkward, but because Zhu Ding can really beat me."
Everyone saw that he didn't look like he was joking, so they became serious and asked, "What's going on?"
The situation is actually not complicated.
Geng Shuai and Zhu Ding were both called Six Little Dragons at the beginning, and they even lived in the same dormitory in the national team, but the relationship between the two has never been good.
The reason is that at that time Geng Shuai was born with a bad temper, and Zhu Ding had been like a bully since he was a child. When the two collided, it was like firewood, and it was difficult to think of anything going wrong.
So just two days after joining the national team, the two had a good fight. Geng Shuai punched Zhu Ding in the nose until the nose started to bleed, and Zhu Ding punched Geng Shuai until one eye socket was black and blue. It took three days to heal.
Later, the two went to the ITTF World Tour Denmark Open together. Although Geng Shuai was completely defeated in front of Christian. Hart, Zhu Ding was not glorious either: he was eliminated by Luo Jiu first, Luo Jiu was eliminated by Geng Shuai, in total, Zhu Ding is two levels lower than Geng Shuai.
Then the plot took a turn for the worse, Geng Shuai was returned to the provincial team, and Zhu Ding took the initiative to leave the national team. The two went around in circles, and after a lot of twists and turns, they finally entered Table Tennis First Division.
Up to this point, the two of them still had no friendship at all. At best, they were teammates who had been together for a while, and they had such a feeling of old friends.
Zhu Ding seems to be domineering, but actually he has a gentle side. He knows how hard Geng Shuai has been. He also knew how difficult it was for Geng Shuai to continue playing, so in order to maintain Geng Shuai's position over Table Tennis First Division, he began to be merciful from the first time he met Geng Shuai.
"Because of this friendship, Zhu Ding has always saved me face in the past six years and never defeated me in the first game."
Geng Shuai sighed softly, "Do you think I'm really that strong? After five years of being so bad, I can still defeat him casually? No, I'm not the same person I was back then. My current strength is at best only 70% of what I was in my heyday."
He paused and smiled bitterly, "As for Zhu Ding, he has extremely strong self-control and practices hard every day. It has never been interrupted. Although he does not get the best guidance because he is far away from the national team, Poseidon's head coach Wang Shou is not bad. He has been known as Table Tennis First Division's number one coach for many years. If I am not wrong, the current Zhu Ding should still retain at least 90% of the strength of his heyday."
He glanced at Wang Chao: "Although you beat me, you only won two goals... With your current strength, when you meet Zhu Ding, in my opinion, it is about four or six, you are four and he is six."
These words were like pouring cold water on everyone, causing everyone at Spade Q to fall silent.
After the silence, everyone continued to practice hard, and the little bit of pride they had just raised their heads was shattered into ashes.
In the morning, Wang Chao and Geng Shuai each found their opponents to practice, and in the afternoon, the two began to practice.
Wang Chao needs Geng Shuai to put huge pressure on him, because he heard that Zhu Ding's attack power is better than Geng Shuai.
Geng Shuai also needs Wang Chao to put pressure on him, because he is working hard to exercise his mental strength in an attempt to concentrate his attention for a longer period of time under high pressure.
Geng Shuai knew that he couldn't beat Zhu Ding in the first game, but he still wanted to score points two days later, so he pinned all his hopes on his second appearance.
He wants to break his own blackout spell!
At noon the next day, Poseidon Club did something very arrogant.
Their head coach Wang Shou accepted an interview with Bin City local radio sports channel. The reporter originally just wanted Wang Shou to say some bold words before the game, such as "We will definitely win" and "We will definitely win the first round of the cycle."
But Wang Shou directly announced the lineup and order of the next round of competition.
In the first game, a single order was Zhu Ding.
In the second game, the second single was Zhao Li'an.
The third game, Zhao Li'an&Ma Angxing.
In the fourth game, the third single was Ma Angxing.
In the fifth game, a single was Zhu Ding.
"The list is here. To be honest, I can't change it even if I want to, because Zhu Ding is a special grade, Zhao Li'an is a first grade, and Ma Angxing is a second grade. The only thing that can be changed is the last two games. Our situation is actually very similar to Black Spade Q Club."
Coach Wang Shou faced the camera and talked. He looked calm, but underneath his calmness, he showed absolute confidence and domineering. "We all discussed it and there is nothing to change. Anyway, Zhu Ding will be in the last game. Spade Q. If anyone wants to have a chance with him, please refer to our lineup to make adjustments yourself. Thank you."
These words were very strong and full of gunpowder, so I just had to name Wang Chao directly.
As we all know, Geng Shuai cannot beat Zhu Ding.
During this period, as Spade Q has been rising all the way, the most discussed question among the outside world is "who is better, Zhu Ding or Wang Chao".
Although 80% of people are optimistic about Zhu Ding, there are actually many people who are optimistic about Wang Chao. The most important thing is that among those who are optimistic about Wang Chao, many people are very important.
For example, Brother Da Ma, the most popular table tennis anchor on the Silver Ball Dance website, made bold statements more than once during the live broadcast that he wanted to witness Shaved Head Youth's journey to slay the gods.
And the Chinese table tennis coach He Jingping, who has been surrounded by public opinion in the past two months, also mentioned the domestic situation of Table Tennis First Division in a special interview with China Television a few days ago. He believes that Wang Chao has a great possibility of defeating Zhu Ding.
In addition, Hubei Provincial Team head coach Jiang Tiansheng and Xiangnan Provincial Team head coach Li Changzheng also said in public that Wang Chao may create miracles.
This made Coach Wang Shou suffocated and somewhat unhappy.
"Jiang Tiansheng wants to support the geniuses of his own province, I can understand it, but why does that old guy Li Changzheng jump out? Is it because my Zhu Ding has really not been serious for a long time, making you all forget the horror of Great Demon King?"
Wang Shou naturally doesn't know that the real intention of Li Changzheng's words is not Wang Chao, but Hu Buming.
The old man is paving the way for Xiangnan Province's own genius boy Hu Buming. He first lifts Wang Chao to the same height as Zhu Ding, and then lets Hu Buming destroyed Wang Chao in the second round of the big cycle, so that he could step on Wang Chao to take the lead, establishing Hu Buming's title as "the strongest newcomer this season".
And if Hu Buming loses...
It's not shameful to lose to a man with the same name as Zhu Ding, right?
So, you see, who can sit in the position of head coach of the provincial team and is not an old fox?
"Wang Chao, your phone number."
At around three o'clock that afternoon, Wang Chao was practicing with Geng Shuai, but Fan Xiaoxian came over mysteriously and handed his mobile phone to Wang Chao.
Wang Chao wondered, "Who is it? Why did the phone call reach you?"
Fan Xiaoxian did not answer, but his face turned slightly red and he cursed, "Stop talking nonsense and pick it up quickly... After you finish picking it up, put it on the table over there for me. I will pick it up later."
After saying that, she turned around and left, walking a little hastily. Before Wang Chao could say anything else, she had already disappeared outside the gate.
Wang Chao is confused.
Who can make the generous Sister Xian become like this?
She just answered the phone and she actually avoided it?
Could it be Old Qin of Virgo again?
He didn't know the reason until the phone call came through.
"Hey, junior brother, is that you?"
A clear and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm glad to talk to you. It's the first time we meet, let me introduce myself. I am your senior brother and your senior in the club. I am Luo Jiu."
Okay, my personal favorite Luo Jiu has appeared, and the character design will begin in the next chapter. I hope you like him too.
