When the quotas were selected and the players left the field, Wang Chao had a brief exchange with the coaches. The own-goal about Hu Buming was clearly revealed like a beach after the tide recedes.
"Oh~~~ It turns out that the big guys don't want the six dragons to gather together. That's right. Those are the six dragons chosen by Sakura Country. We Huaping have to save face."
"Oh~~~It turns out that Wang Chao thought that we wanted the six dragons to gather together. That's right. He is young after all, so it's normal that he didn't take this into consideration."
Everyone was quite embarrassed, but fortunately they were all smart people, and they only spoke in a superficial way, with the intention of testing rather than leaking the details. So at this moment, everyone tacitly changed the topic and made a haha. It was just a matter of holding their noses and admitting it.
The only one who was really happy was Hu Buming. After leaving the base, he immediately accepted an interview with Zhou Tingfang, a journalist from southern Hunan who followed him. He said quite emotionally during the interview, "I have always been They all aimed to catch up with player Wang Chao, but he only made a public evaluation of me after my first match, and never talked to me again... I thought he looked down on me, but it turned out that I was shallow. Player Wang Chao actually has me in his heart. This time he chose me as his sparring partner, which shows that he and I have known each other for a long time and have become true friends."
Wang Chao saw this report a day later, and was filled with the desire to complain, but after thinking about it, I really didn't know what to say, so I could only hold my nose again and admit it.
The world where only Hu Buming is not injured is complete...
At that time, Wang Chao actually did not leave with the other players.
Because the coaching staff still has a very important meeting to hold.
This meeting can even be said to be the most important meeting this year: they have to solve the issue of quota allocation for all international competitions throughout this year.
The tournament quota can still be fine-tuned in the future, but the general direction needs to be resolved today.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a cake-sharing meeting. Every coach has disciples, and they all hope that their disciples will have more opportunities to compete in international competitions. The veteran wants to try again and reach a higher level. The young player wants to debut as soon as possible and become famous all over the world. The main players of the national team want to win more gold medals and work hard to realize the dream of Grand Slam. As for Sun Tianlong, He wanted Double Grand Slam.
The pursuit is endless, and the records are unlimited, but there are only so many games, and there are too many monks, so there are points.
At this time, the most important things are two points.
The first is the performance of the players. The better the performance, the more confidence the coach will have when competing for spots and choosing games.
The second is the coach's own strategy. The better the timing, the easier it is to achieve results.
Regarding the second point, let me give you an example. For example, Lin Li, as the absolute main force of the national team, his goal must be to win the championship. For him, runner-up is meaningless, so Qin Huachang must try to prevent him from competing in the same event as Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu.
For people like Lu Feiyang, their original intention is to train rather than get cards, so Zhu Zeshi can completely ignore the characteristics of the event and try their best to win as many games as possible for him. Under this guiding ideology, if Lu Feiyang gets three open places Platinum leg, Zhu Zeshi would rather discuss exchanges with other coaches. Replace three Platinum leg with four to five ordinary stations.
The purpose of Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong is even simpler, there is only one thing: Kings do not meet kings.
However, the three major competitions are excluded. No matter the 27-year-old Luo Jiu or the 31-year-old Sun Tianlong, it is impossible for them to give up the three major competitions because of fear of difficulties. Therefore, in every three major competitions, they must fight for the first time. When they meet in a narrow road, the brave will win. No one wants to take the initiative to avoid it.
Under this premise, Luo Jiu has to appear tougher because he is younger, He is healthier, so he would rather fight with Sun Tianlong. If he can fight Sun Tianlong until the injury occurs on World Cup and World Table Tennis Championships, then he may take advantage of Olympic Games at the end of the year and win the gold medal with the highest gold content.
——This is the story that plays out every year in Huaping. This group of people is not perfect. They not only have the great belief of fighting against the enemy to win glory for the country when fighting against foreign countries, but also have their own dark psychology of scheming and stumbling against each other during the war. They are all living people.
"Everyone must be mentally prepared first. Our schedule is very tight this year because there are so many competitions this year, so athletes don't have much time to adjust. The pressure to win is definitely greater than last year."
Cai Guodong neatly listed all the games vertically on a large whiteboard.
"The first is ITTF World Tour, which runs throughout the year. This year, there are initially 15 races, including seven Platinum leg and eight ordinary races. This number may increase, but it will not decrease."
"As for the year-end finals, we will not discuss it for the time being. We will wait until the end of the year to see who is qualified to participate."
"The second is Asian Cup and World Cup, which are held once a year."
"Then there are Asian Championships and World Table Tennis Championships, which are held every two years."
"We have to play National Games in the second half of the year. This gold medal must be of interest to everyone present."
"The last is the highlight, Olympic Games in October."
"Of course, in addition, there are some commercial events, so we won't discuss them on this occasion."
Cai Guodong stopped here, turned around and glanced, saying, "Wang Chao, why are you still here?"
Without waiting for Wang Chao to reply, He Jingping said next to him, "Head coach, my throat is not feeling well. Wang Chao is holding a meeting for me today."
Cai Guodong couldn't help laughing, "Don't you talk a lot these days while watching football? Why do you suddenly feel uncomfortable in your throat?"
He Jingping's expression remained unchanged, he waved his hands, opened his mouth, and simply didn't answer. He said "Ah" from his throat, which was a personal demonstration of what it meant to have an uncomfortable throat.
If Cai Guodong continues to ask more questions, he plans to spit on the spot to show his sincerity.
Fortunately, Cai Guodong didn't care. He just looked at Wang Chao deeply and said, "Okay, let's continue..."
Qin Huachang was not happy, raised his hand and said, "Head coach, this is against the rules."
He Jingping suddenly became alert and glared at him fiercely.
Qin Huachang didn't care, and said seriously, "Head coach, our Huaping meeting has rules every year. It has always been a carrot and a pit, and you can't bring people to observe. I think, if Old He really has a discomfort in his throat and is sure that Wang Chao wants to hold the meeting for him, then he has to go out by himself."
As soon as these words came out, all the other coaches except Zhu Zeshi nodded in unison.
"Yes, that's exactly what it should be."
"Head coach, the rules cannot be broken."
"I think it's better for Wang Chao to avoid it. After all, Old He is the coach. Although his throat is uncomfortable, he can still write. We are not in a hurry, we can wait for him."
"Yes, yes, let Wang Chao get out."
"Even if we need to find someone to replace him, we should look for Luo Jiu. Wang Chao has just joined the team and he doesn't understand the situation. It won't work."
He Jingping immediately looked around the audience and glared angrily.
What a pity, he has always suffered a loss every meeting day over the years. The other coaches are all evil-minded, but he is the only one who is pink and tender. So when everyone is grabbing cakes, he doesn't know which one should grab which one and which shouldn't. But these old guys are so obsessed with it. Each one is worse than the other, digging holes everywhere, and he tries his best to step on them. Therefore, over the years, the places he has grabbed for Luo Jiu are not very good. This is one of the reasons why Luo Jiu has the lowest personal performance among the five major players.
This time, it was Zhu Zeshi who gave him a hint before the meeting.
Zhu Zeshi poked him with his elbow, then glanced at Wang Chao who was about to leave, lowered his voice and said to He Jingping, "Is your throat uncomfortable and you can't speak?"
He Jingping was puzzled. "I have a pretty good voice."
"No, your throat is not feeling well. I'm afraid you won't be able to speak in the meeting later." Zhu Zeshi said seriously, "Have you ever heard of a saying... If something happens, the disciple will do his duty?"
He Jingping is indeed a down-to-earth person. He thought about it for five seconds before he suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, I caught a cold yesterday and my voice became hoarse. Wang Chao happens to be here. Why don't we let him hold the meeting for me?"
Zhu Zeshi nodded with satisfaction, walked straight away, and put himself out of the situation.
This was the scene where Wang Chao was stuck unable to leave.
But the other coaches are also smart. They would rather let Luo Jiu play than Wang Chao. After all, although Luo Jiu is smart, he is a sunny boy, and Wang Chao... Just looking at his performance in the second half of last year, he is even a scumbag.
The quota is so scarce that everyone is having a hard time. In previous years, they just waited to take advantage of He Jingping to maintain their lives. If it were replaced by Wang Chao this time, wouldn't everyone's benefits be lost?
There was a lot of noise in the conference room for a while, and He Jingping got angry. "Then I'm leaving?"
The coaches immediately shut up and said nothing.
The meaning is obvious: it is a lie to keep you, but we are sincere in wanting you to go.
So He Jingping really left.
He truly trusts Wang Chao.
When He Jingping closed the door tightly from the outside, the scene suddenly became serious.
Next, there will be an invisible fight.
"First of all, the first game, February 15th, that is, four days later, the first stop of the World Tour, the ordinary stop, Hong Kong Open."
Cai Guodong pointed the pen at the whiteboard. "The first battle of the new year, no defeat allowed, who will go?"
Everyone was very quiet, and all their eyes fell on Qin Huachang.
After all, the head coach has said that no defeat is allowed, so of course Sun Tianlong should go.
But Qin Huachang is naturally not happy. After all, Cai Guodong has already told him in private that Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu will be treated equally this year. If Kings do not meet kings is the one, then each player will be given five quotas, which adds up to ten games. The other games must be left to other team members to drink soup.
Since there are only five games anyway, Qin Huachang naturally wants to get five Platinum leg for Sun Tianlong. In this first game of the year, most of the top players in the world's table tennis world will usually come. The consequence is that it is difficult to win the championship, the task is heavy, there are many games, but it is still an ordinary station with low gold content, which is not cost-effective.
So Qin Huachang, the old god, was there, silent and motionless, acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
But everyone is so familiar with him, if he doesn't move, others will cue him directly.
"Old Qin, why are you so stunned? Hurry and sign up for Sun Tianlong." The person who spoke was named Chen Taolue, who was the one who took a fancy to Liang Kunpeng two years ago.
He actually had a py transaction with Qin Huachang. After all, it was Lin Li, the disciple of Old Qin, who helped him choose Liang Kunpeng when he was selecting people. But at this time, one code equals another, and he was definitely more active than anyone else in stumbling Qin Huachang.
You want to ask why?
Because he wants his disciples to rise to the top by stepping on Lin Li.
After all, Liang Kunpeng and Lin Li both focus on the quality of the boards. For the same type of players, only one player from Huaping is destined to come out on top. The rest, just like Zhou Yu compared to Zhuge Liang, was born at the wrong time and had a bad fate.
Then a friend wants to ask again, didn't you want to step on Lin Li, but now you are talking about Sun Tianlong?
The reason is also very simple: they are both disciples of Old Qin. When the cake is divided, Old Qin will naturally make internal adjustments between Lin Li and Sun Tianlong. Cai Guodong will not interfere in this regard.
Qin Huachang sneered, "Why should I sign up? Sun Tianlong was severely injured in last year's year-end finals, and the injury recurred. Now he is still walking with a limp. You let him take the lead? The head coach said that he must win and not lose. I think the only one who can do this at this stage is Luo Jiu."
Qin Huachang's goal is also very clear. Even if Chen Taolue takes the initiative to plot against him, he does not intend to fight back now, because Sun Tianlong's real competitor is only Luo Jiu, so what Qin Huachang has to do is to pull Luo Jiu down first.
So everyone's eyes fell on Wang Chao.
