"Will this have a bad impact?" Zhu Zeshi was a little worried. "We, the Chinese table tennis team, have been kings from generation to generation. No matter Wang Wendong back then or Sun Tianlong now, they crush their opponents head-on with absolute advantage and make them convinced. But will Wang Chao be like this?"
Wang Lu remained silent.
Qin Huachang rolled his eyes and sneered, "What's wrong with the facts? Huaping's reputation in the world is not earned by doing good people and good deeds. It is earned by itself. You are standing and talking now without back pain. You are picky about this and that. You want both performance and reputation. Comment, have you ever thought about it, if Wang Chao doesn't destroy Lin Zijun today, what if Lin Zijun does come out in the future and no one can stop it and takes our gold medal away, what will you say?"
Zhu Zeshi suddenly fell silent.
Because everyone can see that Lin Zijun's talent is indeed extremely high. This young boy Bay Island still has some mental and physical problems at this stage. But in five or six years, when his physical training is completed and his mentality is mature, no one dares to say that he will be able to suppress him.
Not even Wang Chao.
At this time Cai Guodong spoke, he said, "What you said does make some sense, but..."
He paused, sighed, and felt helpless. "They don't care what difficulties we have, they just want us to be perfect in all aspects, so that foreigners can't find any gossip. At the same time, they also want us to win all the championships, produce Great Demon King in every generation, and crush the world forever... They don't know how difficult this is, especially in recent years, the world table tennis world has been rapidly innovating in terms of technology, tactics and equipment. We've been working really hard."
Everyone was speechless.
The pressure on Huaping over the years has indeed been as heavy as a mountain. Otherwise, why would Sun Tianlong still be unable to retire in his thirties, and would have to go through isolation time and time again, playing with injuries to fight against teenage players.
All I can say is that I have to hold on to the Jiang Shan I have laid down with tears in my eyes.
Qin Huachang sneered, "You're all used to it."
Cai Guodong was silent for a long time and said softly, "So after this fight, we still need to pay attention to external public opinion. If the impact is really very bad, then when Wang Chao comes back, we still have to give him a public criticism, even if it is just a show to the outside world."
Zhu Zeshi opened his mouth, intending to ask for mercy, but when he looked at the screen again, he saw Lin Zijun's steps were scattered, his eyes were dull, and he was in a state of embarrassment, but he was really speechless.
He actually felt a hint of sympathy.
In fact, even he himself is very conflicted. He doesn't know that if a genius like Lin Zijun is really cast out of the shadows, develops inner demons, and loses the opportunity to reach the highest realm, then it will be considered a loss for the entire era.
Even he has this mentality, so what will other ordinary viewers think?
So at this moment Zhu Zeshi's only complaint is. "This Lin Zijun, why does he look so delicate and delicate? It's really easy to arouse the sympathy of the public..."
There was complete silence in the small room, except for the constant banging of ping-pong balls bouncing on the screen and the never-ending shouting of Wang Chao, which seemed a bit harsh.
At this time, the situation became increasingly unbearable. In Wang Chao's serving round, Lin Zijun lost two points in a row without any suspense. When he got the right to serve, he actually served another suicide ball.
In the table tennis arena, every suicide serve is a near-fatal blow to the players themselves.
The score jumped to 10:0 in a very short period of time.
It's Wang Chao's turn to serve again.
At this moment, everyone in the world who was watching the game had their hearts shrinking.
They have accepted the fact that Wang Chao will win, but they still cannot accept the fact that a proud man like Lin Zijun has his head shaved.
They hope Lin Zijun will score at least one point.
Or rely on his own efforts to fight.
Or commit suicide by Wang Chao taking the initiative to serve.
"Suicide... commit suicide... commit suicide quickly..." Li Zhengzhi of Kimchi Country closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and murmured in his mouth.
He means it.
Although he was easily eliminated by Lin Zijun on the first day, he had no problem with Lin Zijun because Lin Zijun always maintained a humble, gentle and silent attitude throughout the game, giving him great respect. After winning the game, he did not even do any celebrations, and even bowed lower than him when shaking hands with him.
This is an excellent character and attitude, which reminds Li Zhengzhi of an ancient Chinese saying: A humble gentleman is as gentle as jade.
He admired Lin Zijun's skills. His ability to control the ball in the entire field was something Li Zhengzhi had never seen before.
If possible, he would like to be friends with Lin Zijun, but he has both an inferiority complex and an arrogant side in his character. When he loses so miserably, he is embarrassed to take the initiative to contact Lin Zijun.
He very much hoped that Wang Chao would be merciful and send a suicide ball.
After all, everyone will meet frequently in international competitions in the future, and Wang Chao and Lin Zijun speak the same mother tongue. He doesn't believe that Wang Chao will make things right.
Then he watched helplessly as Wang Chao served a very high-quality backhand baseline long ball without showing any mercy.
Lin Zijun resisted weakly, and Wang Chao roared to attack. Just seven seconds later, the dust settled, and the number on the scoreboard finally cruelly jumped to 11:0.
The most recognized genius in the world table tennis world was forcibly shaved by Wang Chao.
The whole place was in an uproar, and countless Sakura Country spectators stood up and booed in unison.
Far away in the imperial capital, He Jingping had covered his eyes and did not dare to look any further.
He didn't dare to look at a bystander. At this moment, it was hard for him to imagine how much pressure Wang Chao, the client, had experienced at the scene.
Cai Guodong sighed again and said softly, "The impact is really too bad... Let's make sure then. After he comes back, we will take the initiative to give Wang Chao a public notice before he comes back. To report criticism, just say that his behavior on the field undermined unity and created a confrontational atmosphere, which is against the purpose of our Chinese table tennis. I hereby criticize him as a punishment, and then apologize to the Bay Island Table Tennis Association, and the matter is over."
He paused and felt a little ashamed, and then said, "Of course this is only external, and I also know that he has been wronged... When he officially joins the team next year, I will try my best to give him as many opportunities to compete abroad as a small compensation for him."
Zhu Zeshi said with a straight face, "I propose that neither Luo Jiu nor Sun Tianlong participate in the competition he will participate in next year."
Cai Guodong said, "Okay, I will stagger the schedules of him, Sun Tianlong, and Luo Jiu."
Zhu Zeshi pursed his lips and added, "There are a lot of competitions next year. There are Olympic Games which is held every four years, World Table Tennis Championships which is held every two years, World Cup which is held every year and National Games which is held every four years. You see..."
Cai Guodong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Old Zhu, he is a newcomer after all. It would be good if he can play in the Open. How can a newcomer play in the three majors just after joining the team? This is against the rules. At most... at most I will give him a chance World Cup, but it depends on whether he can improve his world ranking in the Open next year. If he can't, I can't do anything."
Qin Huachang sneered at the side and said, "Don't worry, with this kid's mind, I can't say that he will definitely win the championship in something like the Open. At least he will have no problem winning a medal at every stop. He will definitely be ranked in the world by then."
Zhu Zeshi didn't say a word, he just stared at Cai Guodong and refused to give up.
Cai Guodong was so numb by the sight of him that he held on for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and sighed, "Okay, okay, I know that the child is really wronged. I am the most, really the most. World Table Tennis Championships can give him a chance. Then we will hold Strongest Direct Competition on Earth according to the old rules and let him participate. As for whether he can get the quota, it depends on whether he can win. Is that okay?"
Zhu Zeshi then lowered his head and said softly, "You must keep your word."
Cai Guodong smiled bitterly, feeling that he was not a human being inside and out. He suddenly remembered that Wang Chao's real teacher was still there and had not spoken, so he turned around and asked, "Old He, are you okay here?"
He Jingping suddenly became excited. He stood up quickly, his face turned red, and said, "Head coach, I have a problem, a big problem!"
Cai Guodong was stunned.
"You also said that Wang Chao was wronged, and my senior brother also said that Wang Chao was wronged. But is the word "grievance" really the only thing this child is carrying now?"
He Jingping stretched out his hand and pointed straight at the TV screen. "Look, what is the situation at the scene now? My disciple is being accused by thousands of people! But why is he doing all this? Have you seriously thought about it?"
"If he just wanted to win the T2 championship, couldn't he simply defeat Lin Zijun? Why did he have to yell and run around like a clown?"
"He is so smart, doesn't he know that he will be disliked by others if he does this? Doesn't he know that his appearance is seen by audiences all over the world?"
"Think about it carefully, what exactly is he planning?"
"He's not doing it for himself, he's doing it for Hua Ping!"
He Jingping was so excited that his eyes were a little red. "That child is only 18 years old. Have you seriously thought about how much pressure he was under when he made this decision today?"
Cai Guodong was a little frightened and comforted him repeatedly, "Old He, sit down and say, don't get excited. Let's discuss it slowly. This matter has not been finalized yet, but it can still be discussed. Just say it directly. What compensation do you want?"
"Is this a matter of compensation?" He Jingping was angry. "Head coach, are you still planning to report criticism to him? You just saw Lin Zijun being beaten there and sympathized with him. You really didn't realize that Wang Chao also needs sympathy here."
Cai Guodong was a little stunned and said, "Old He, I know he was wronged, but you can't talk nonsense. He beat Xiao Lin until he almost cried. Where did he feel wronged?"
He Jingping stopped making trouble when he heard this. He was silent for a moment, a little sad, and said quietly, "Haha... Head coach, you really don't remember. Wang Chao was not a person who could roar or dance so well on the field before. Come on, you are a shameless person. This kid's nature is actually very similar to Lin Zijun. When he played Zhu Ding, if Geng Shuai hadn't taken off his clothes on the spot, he wouldn't have been able to find the state at all."
"Essentially, he is actually a very reserved person..."
When these words came out, several big guys present were slightly startled, and their expressions changed at the same time.
He Jingping continued, "If I guessed correctly, it was after that game that he began to think about how to actively release emotions on the court, but after that game he was called by Old Qin to Liancheng City to help. From Liancheng City came directly to the Imperial Capital after he came back. During this period, he had never played in a public game and had no chance to try. When he went to Sakura Country, whether he was playing Zhu Shixian or Yoshikawa Hiroshi, he was very silent..."
There are all human beings present, so there is no need to continue talking at this point.
Zhu Zeshi added softly, "When he played Bai Feng in the test match, he actually played quite quietly."
Everyone understood what He Jingping really wanted to say. Even Coach Wang Lu, who had always been silent, couldn't help but speak, and said softly, "So... we just saw him jumping up and down in front of our eyes, and we instinctively felt bored. But in fact, he can do this. I don't know how much courage he mustered."
Qin Huachang quickly answered, "Yes, yes, head coach, people say that Jiang Shan's nature is easy to change but hard to change. Overcoming one's own character weaknesses is not an easy thing. What's more, he has not overcome it yet. He has gone from one extreme to another. I can't even imagine how he persisted."
By this time, Cai Guodong was speechless.
He originally thought that this matter could actually be solved by fighting each other fifty times, and giving an explanation both internally and externally. But when he really understood Wang Chao's current situation, he could no longer say those words of accountability.
He originally sympathized with Lin Zijun, but after seeing the truth clearly, he realized that Wang Chao actually deserved more sympathy.
Facing everyone's looks, he could only sigh, "Okay, okay, don't look at me anymore. Wang Chao Let's not criticize. The quota for next year's competition... should be given to him. He is indeed worth it."
Later, the head coach, who had always been light-hearted in strategizing, finally lost his composure and revealed his true nature. He cursed, "Okay, okay, I'm going to kill you like a fairy and a few melons. Don't look at me anymore. I'll handle the pressure from outside by myself. Is that okay?"
Well, from the above speech, we can see that the head coach should undoubtedly be Western Sichuan Province.
Let me make it clear first that Lin Zijun will not be abolished. Please don't blame me. I was very nervous when I wrote this chapter.
