On the first day of training, He Jingping gave Wang Chao a heads-up as a teacher.
"You had a brilliant record last year. You won Zhu Ding, Bai Feng, and Lin Zijun. You were almost unbeatable. You even won World Champion in your first World Series. Do you think you played well?"
Wang Chao is a little confused.
His record last year was really outstanding, especially his psychological game in a few games, which was extremely exquisite. He did have some pride after the game.
But from He Jingping's tone, it was obvious that he didn't want to praise himself.
"Yes, I'm not praising you, I just want to say that you are on the wrong track." He Jingping said.
Wang Chao smiled, a little disapproving in his heart.
He actually became a disciple to find a backer so that he would not suffer losses in various competitions. As for whether this teacher could help him in daily training and official competitions, he actually didn't care.
Because he himself was once the number one coach in the world, he believes that his vision and knowledge are no worse than anyone else.
And He Jingping, among the many big players in the national team, actually does not rank high.
He insists on looking for He Jingping as his teacher instead of Qin Huachang, because Qin Huachang is too smart and too strong, which may interfere with his career plan, while He Jingping will probably let himself go.
So at this moment, when He Jingping revealed his intention to interfere with his style of play, Wang Chao was slightly resistant.
"I know you are very smart, and I have never seen many of your tactical ideas before, so don't worry, I won't teach you how to play." He Jingping, however, was unusually keen and could see through Wang Chao's mentality at a glance. He said sincerely, "I will only discuss purely technical issues with you, and I will only provide suggestions and not help you make any decisions. Is that okay?"
After saying this, Wang Chao felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "Look at what you said... then what do you think I did wrong?"
"You played the right game. You defeated Lin Zijun and Bai Feng. Judging from the scene, it was obvious that the weak defeated the strong. It was very beautiful, but have you ever thought about a problem?"
He Jingping paused and asked him seriously, "Bai Feng I don't care for the moment, but when you fight Lin Zijun, why does the weak defeat the strong?"
Wang Chao was stunned.
"The only thing Lin Zijun is worse than you is the backhand twist. Apart from that, his mentality is not as good as yours, his physical fitness is not as good as yours, his forehand arc is not as good as yours, his small ball inside the table is not as good as yours, and his psychological game is not as good as yours. If you beat him, according to common sense, shouldn't the strong bully the weak and win in an upright manner?"
Wang Chao was stunned.
"When you play Zhu Shixian, you have to count one step and three. When you play Bai Feng, each serving round is a different trap. When you play Lin Zijun, you even have to yell to break his mentality. It is an amplified move."
He Jingping said, "You play very well, and what you show in every game amazes us coaches. However, you are not playing the royal way, but the evil way. There are so many players with different styles in the world. Do you think every opponent you meet in the future will be like this? If you really become the best in the world in the future, you will be studied by everyone. You will be constantly challenged by new people. How can you find so much energy to study your opponents one by one and formulate targeted strategies?"
Wang Chao didn't say a word, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
He did realize something was wrong.
He actually played very hard in the first half of this year, especially in T2. He watched the video almost every night until one or two o'clock in the morning, because he felt that his opponent was too strong, and he had to use a lot of energy to study the opponent thoroughly in order to find a chance to win through the cracks.
When he stayed up late watching the video, he actually had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he never figured out what was wrong.
Because he won, everything that was wrong was covered up.
But he was actually just a fan of the authorities. At this moment, he was awakened by He Jingping, and he immediately realized the problem.
Although playing basketball is very focused on targeted strategies, when you reach your peak, the truly kingly way of playing is actually "putting yourself first."
It's not that I try my best to break your routine, but that I have a complete and rigorous system myself. You have to break me. If you can't break it, then I will definitely win.
This is a distinction between active and passive, as well as a relationship between first and last.
He Jingping continued, "It took me seven years to build this double-sided loop ball all-Taiwan offensive system, which is the greatest achievement of my life. In the past seven years, even though Luo Jiu's performance went from bad to worse, I still insisted on letting him play according to my ideas, and the head coach Cai Guodong and my senior brother also always supported me. No one questioned my decision. Do you know why?"
Wang Chao asked, "Why?"
"Because they also participated in the creation of this system and theoretically completed all the deductions with me, we all believe that once this system is successful, theoretically speaking, it will have the best attack power in the world, enough to defeat any strength of defense."
He Jingping said, "In the past, Xiaojiu had a problem with the connection. Now he has switched to a raw rubber bullet attack with his backhand. Essentially, he is still using my system. You should be able to see how strong his attack power is now."
Wang Chao nodded.
In the year-end finals, Luo Jiu was extremely domineering and brutally killed Bai Feng in a pure head-to-head attack. In that game, he really produced a super attack power that amazed the world.
The whole world is wondering why Luo Jiu's raw rubber backhand bounce is so terrifying, and why other people's backhand bounces don't have this effect after practicing it. But in fact, the truly terrifying thing is not just the simple backhand bounce, but the backhand bounce that is integrated into this entire technical and tactical system.
Luo Jiu's backhand is strong because his backhand bounce has been perfectly integrated into a tactical system with the best attack power in the world.
At this point, Wang Chao has completely understood what He Jingping means.
He Jingping believes that by using this system, Wang Chao should have defeated Zhu Ding, Lin Zijun, and even Bai Feng from the front, instead of acting like a weakling and trying every possible means to find the opponent's flaws, and then use the flaws to disintegrate the enemy.
As the founder of this tactical system, He Jingping was dissatisfied. He felt that Wang Chao had turned a system with the best attack power in the world into a system that relied on calculation and speculation to win.
This is called Pearl Secret Throwing, and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms are practiced into the Eighteen Snake-catching Palms.
"Then what's the problem?" Wang Chao's brows were knitted tightly together. He really didn't want to understand. "I have carefully watched most of my senior's game videos in the past seven years. I am sure that the playing style I learned is no problem, but why does it not have the same flavor in my hands?"
"The reason is very simple." He Jingping smiled, "You are not strong enough."
Wang Chao raised his head in shock and looked at his teacher.
"No matter how genius you are, you will still get confused after all." He Jingping laughed loudly at this moment. In front of this smart and demonic apprentice, he finally found a sense of superiority in IQ for the first time. "After all, I created this system. No matter how fast you learn, there are always some key things that are not clear to me... For example, this system actually has a power threshold."
Any tactical system has index requirements. For example, the Lin Li and Liang Kunpeng play styles must be equipped with Monstrous Strength Talent to play successfully, and the full backhand twist of Lin Zijun must be paired with Extreme Speed Talent.
Taiwan's double-sided loop ball offensive system is not that demanding, because it is designed for ordinary players, not specifically for geniuses, but even so, it still has index requirements.
Luo Jiu's physical fitness is actually not very good because he is too thin, but his strength is adequate, so this system maximizes his attack power attributes, allowing him to use his not-so-powerful strength to perform a Taiwan-wide offense that amazes the world.
As for Wang Chao, it is very tragic that it has not even reached the minimum strength index of this system for the time being...
This is the real reason why Wang Chao is always at a disadvantage when facing Lin Zijun.
"Depending on your talent and understanding, you can actually go the Sun Tianlong way, but that way is really hard, and I personally don't want you to take it." He Jingping finally concluded. "What's more, my system is no worse than his. You have already Having seen the facts, Xiaojiu is already able to equal Sun Tianlong with this variant of the system. And when you truly master the original version of this system, I believe you will surpass Sun Tianlong and become the new strongest table tennis player in history."
These words were very plain, but Wang Chao felt that the blood in his body was already burning.
He couldn't wait to start practicing.
The most important thing right now is to increase your physical strength.
And it is not difficult to solve this problem.
First, eat more.
Second, practice more.
From this day on, Wang Chao started his own special training.
By this time, He Jingping's advantage in making Cook was revealed, and he began to serve Wang Chao with side dishes.
The side dishes are not complicated, just eat a lot of meat with a few vegetables. The meat is all lean beef shank, and the vegetables are changed daily.
He Jingping forced Wang Chao to eat at least a pound of beef with every meal, and occasionally add two eggs. He studied cooking for three years, from Sichuan chef to Cantonese chef, and accumulated rich experience. He cooked various kinds of food, including boiled beef, dry-fried beef, braised beef, cold beef, shredded beef, beef slices, beef cubes, beef strips, all kinds, never repeated.
It's impossible to say how scientific this thing is, but overall it's the right approach, and the problem with Wang Chao is purely due to malnutrition in childhood, and does not require too detailed dietary conditioning. This is enough now.
He doesn't touch the ball much these days. Instead, he runs like crazy every day and goes to the gym to lift weights. But sometimes his hands are really itchy, so He Jingping will personally accompany him and give him a few baskets of balls for multi-ball training.
After every training, when Wang Chao collapses on the chair like a dead dog, He Jingping will come over and massage Wang Chao from head to toe, helping him relax his muscles and activate his blood circulation. The techniques are professional, the movements are skillful, and the hands are strong. They must have been specially trained.
He is a coach, a sparring partner, Cook, and the team's physical therapist all on his own.
Wang Chao was a little embarrassed. Because he was young, he would sweat profusely after every practice, and his sweaty feet would smell particularly bad. He felt like throwing up when he smelled it, but He Jingping told him to lie down and said it was okay. He had long been used to it.
In just a few days, Wang Chao has obviously become much stronger.
In addition to dietary supplements and training, He Jingping also made medicated meals for Wang Chao.
Medicinal meals are far less enjoyable than delicious food. They all have a strong smell of Chinese medicinal materials, which makes you Wang Chao want to vomit after eating them. Moreover, they are so black and sticky that you can't tell what ingredients were used.
The scariest thing is that it keeps changing, and every time you eat it, it tastes different.
Wang Chao also trusts He Jingping enough, otherwise he would not dare to eat these things.
He once asked He Jingping what was in this medicinal diet, but He Jingping refused to tell.
It wasn't until Wang Chao accidentally dug out a shopping receipt in the garbage bag one day that he realized that the food he was eating these days was not ordinary expensive. It was the kind of medicinal materials that were extremely nourishing for Qi and blood, and they were very old.
No wonder I had nosebleeds several times due to patchwork...
Wang Chao I roughly estimated that He Jingping's expenses during this period would probably be two to three hundred thousand.
No wonder he kept it secret, probably because he was afraid of the psychological burden on himself.
But is he really not afraid of making up for his own problems?
I can only say that as a teacher, I am really good, but a tiger is also a real tiger...
But money is indeed a good thing. With such medicine at all costs, Wang Chao clearly feels that his strength is increasing sharply.
During multi-ball training, he discovered that his offense was indeed undergoing a qualitative change. Unfortunately, He Jingping couldn't play a serious game with him, so Wang Chao was eager to know what his current offensive power was.
If you encounter Lin Zijun again, can you defeat him head-on?
Days like this lasted until the end of January, when a member of Jiangcheng City Team stepped into the training base.
It is Wu Li, the ball madman.
