By the time the draw was completed, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, so everyone dispersed and waited for another fight tomorrow.
This is also to allow the team members who have worked hard for three days to have a good night's rest and save the fateful final battle until they recharge their batteries, so as not to feel unfair after losing.
Wang Chao only thinks of watching a big show. In his previous life, he was a member of this show, accompanying the head coach and performing happily. In this life, he finally doesn't need to act. Instead, he gets a different kind of fun from the perspective of a bystander.
He just had to keep a straight face and couldn't show it, which inevitably made him a little regretful.
The next day came in a blink of an eye. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the promotion and relegation matches went on as scheduled.
Fan Xiaodong was the first to appear, easily defeating his opponent 4:0, and successfully entered National Second Team. The one who was demoted could not see much disappointment, probably because he had a premonition in his heart.
Several coaches began to comment one by one. This is actually the highlight, because different games have different points of view, and in a crushing game, how the advantageous side should seek stability and how the disadvantaged side should make a comeback are both very particular.
These experiences were instilled bit by bit into the minds of all the young players present through this opportunity.
It's a pity that not everyone can listen. At least from what Wang Chao saw, half of the people were whispering to each other. They were obviously impatient and just waiting for the next game to start quickly.
The middle two games were omitted, and then Hu Buming came on the scene. Within 40 minutes, they lost to their opponent 2:4.
After all, Mouth King couldn't resist the hard power. His opponent Sun Zhongwen, the real strength of National Second Team is only lower than Lu Feiyang. Strictly speaking, he is already a player at the same level as Bay Island. It is indeed not comparable to Hu Buming who is still playing Table Tennis First Division.
Hu Buming seemed very unwilling after losing. If Zhou Tingfang could be interviewed at this time, maybe he could come up with a bunch of reasons for losing. Unfortunately, this is the national team training base, no one interviewed him, no one even valued him, so he was very depressed.
The game went very fast, and before you knew it, it was the last game, Gao Mingyuan beat Lu Feiyang.
The game was very intense and exciting.
Gao Mingyuan is capable. Even though there are big problems with his forehand bursting posture, his speed, his backhand, his rhythm, and his landing point are all the best choices. He is exactly the opposite of Lu Feiyang's simple and rough style of opening and closing, so this game became a head-on collision of two different styles.
The game was tied at 3:3 within forty minutes.
Wang Chao secretly looked at Cai Guodong and found that Cai Guodong was very nervous because his body was a little tight. However, he kept trying to smile and act like a head coach who was unfazed by humiliation, hiding this tension well.
Facts have proved that Lu Feiyang, ranked second in New Six Dragons, has no absolute advantage over Gao Mingyuan, ranked fourth.
Lu Feiyang has greater potential because he is five years younger than Gao Mingyuan, but in terms of current combat effectiveness, there is not much difference between them.
Lu Feiyang is actually stronger, but his condition today is not very good, probably because he has a mission and must win but cannot lose, so he is a little too cautious under the huge pressure.
On the other hand, Gao Mingyuan, after all, is a veteran who has played Table Tennis Super League for two years. He also has a burnt-out mentality and dares to fight hard. On the contrary, he performed exceptionally.
The ball in the last game was extremely close, and even the originally noisy base fell silent. Only the banging sound of the ball could be heard. Cai Guodong and other big players lost their leisurely chatting and laughing. They all looked at the court with wide eyes, fearing that the outcome they were most afraid of would happen.
If Lu Feiyang really loses, they will definitely shamelessly bring Lu Feiyang back to the national team, but the prestige they have just cultivated in the past three days may be shattered to pieces.
Fortunately, Lu Feiyang managed to withstand it at the last moment, and he finally defeated Gao Mingyuan 11:6.
Wang Chao sighed secretly after watching this game. He discovered another fatal flaw of Gao Mingyuan: a bad mentality.
It was obviously good to dare to fight at the beginning, but after entering the decisive game, Gao Mingyuan, who was lagging behind in terms of hard power, did not dare to fight anymore, and he actually began to seek stability.
This stability completely ruined the good half of the game that was finally put together.
Lu Feiyang, on the other hand, was originally a heartless character. He struggled in the first six rounds due to too much pressure, but in the last round he gave up and started playing like he did before, shouting and jumping up and down, being cruel and unreasonable, and finally played at a pretty good level.
At this point, everyone on the coaching staff quietly breathed a sigh of relief and began to comment with smiles on their faces.
The focus of the comments this time was very clear. First, Qin Huachang jumped out to be a bad guy and severely reprimanded Gao Mingyuan for having fatal flaws in his forehand attack posture and mentality. He also swore that Gao Mingyuan was indeed not qualified to be selected for the national team. His opinion two years ago was indeed correct.
These words are very hateful, and they are basically equivalent to taking away the responsibility for Gao Mingyuan's failure two years ago and taking the blame himself.
Wang Chao looked at Qin Huachang's hard performance from a distance and felt a little admiration.
Only those who are truly sincere to Huaping are willing to do this kind of thankless job and take the blame.
Old Qin is not a good person in life, but his sincerity is still very admirable.
After Qin Huachang finished playing the bad part, another coach came out to play the good part. First, he and Qin Huachang had a verbal spat in front of everyone, and then warmly comforted Gao Mingyuan, saying that his forehand attack posture can actually be changed, as long as he is determined. As for the mentality issue, he can also adjust slowly. He is fully confident in adjusting Gao Mingyuan's mentality.
When he said these words, it was almost clear that he wanted to recruit a disciple.
Gao Mingyuan was very moved.
The innocent child was deceived in this way.
He was originally very resistant to changing his forehand posture because he knew how difficult it was, but now unknowingly, even he felt that he had to change. If he didn't change, he would be sorry for the coach and Huaping, and it would also make someone hateful laugh.
So he nodded vigorously, expressing that he had the determination and perseverance to make technical changes and never let down the coach's expectations. After speaking, he glanced at Qin Huachang. Obviously, Qin Huachang, as a villain, will become an important catalyst for Gao Mingyuan's improvement for a long time to come.
All the processes were perfect and were following the plan planned by Cai Guodong. However, when the final decision was made, a small accident suddenly occurred.
Because Gao Mingyuan had already looked over at Wang Chao and said, "I have a small request."
Cai Guodong was still immersed in the joy of succeeding in his plan, and did not realize that Gao Mingyuan was going to cause trouble. He smiled and said, "You tell me."
Gao Mingyuan said, "I am very happy to be selected as one of the Huaping new generation Six Little Dragons. In the past three days, I have played against several other players in the Six Dragons. I have never seen the only Wang Chao player ranked first. While he is here now, can I have a match with him?"
Wang Chao was stunned.
Why, inexplicably, did I end up eating melon?
But he didn't know that he had been walking around the base like a little adult these past few days to watch the excitement, and he had secretly aroused the jealousy of many young players.
Although he has an old mentality, his body is only 18 years old. Strictly speaking, he is not much different from Lu Feiyang and the others. We are all of the same age. Why are we fighting life and death in fear, but you are leisurely and wandering around?
Why don't you need to play the assessment game and directly enter the national team without taking the test?
And Gao Mingyuan, as the person who failed to be selected for the national team two years ago, was firmly suppressed by Wang Chao in the Six Dragons rankings. This unhappy feeling is stronger than everyone else.
Although he lost to Lu Feiyang, his fighting spirit was completely aroused today. At this moment, he felt that his blood was boiling and his fighting spirit was unparalleled. He wanted to press Wang Chao to the ground and rub him on the spot, so that coach Qin Huachang, who looked down on him, could see his true strength!
Although the last chapter is relatively short, after all, today is a day worth ten thousand, right?
Applause, applause!
