In fact, regarding the Super League battle between Spade Q and Liaoning Province Zhonggang that took place in mid-March, the only thing worth paying attention to is not just the battle between Sun Tianlong and Wang Chao at the pinnacle of technology flow.
The content of several other games also affects the future fate of the participants in the game to a greater or lesser extent.
For example, at this moment, when the lineup for the fourth game was displayed on the big screen of Sequoia Stadium, Cai Guodong, the head coach of China Table Tennis Team who was on the front line to provide guidance in Tianfu City, clearly showed interest in this game.
What he really paid attention to was Wu Li, because he had completely watched the special video posted by Tavares on a foreign forum, and saw Wu Li being beaten crazily by Wang Chao for half an hour before the game.
Then he went back and found out the derby battle between Spade Q and Jiangcheng University Team and watched it completely. As for the decisive battle between Wu Li and Ma Angxing, he watched it three times.
Then he asserted that Wu Li will become a great success.
After saying this, several other coaches at Huaping praised the head coach for his sharp eyesight, but Cai Guodong only laughed and yelled, "Go away" and told these sycophants to go away.
In this matter, he didn't feel that he had good vision. Instead, he felt that his eyes were simply blind.
Because this is not the first time he has seen the Wu Li game video.
In fact, when he first started paying attention to Wang Chao, he had seen two battles between Wang Chao and Wu Li during Jiangcheng City Team's internal assessment. However, after watching the two battles, his only feeling was: Wang Chao will become a great player.
As for Wu Li, isn't that just a background board?
However, after half a year of going around in circles, Wang Chao, who left Jiangcheng City Team, actually repeated the old saying and pulled Wu Li into Spade Q. Then Wu Li's strength soared to ridiculous levels like a rocket.
Cai Guodong I still can't figure it out.
He didn't know whether he had missed the huge potential of Wu Li, or whether Wang Chao really had the ability to train mediocre players into masters.
He didn't even understand what the half-hour video of the beating meant. Could someone really be beaten into a dog before the game and yet perform extremely bravely on the spot?
Is this the legendary magical power of beating?
Although Huaping's performance in the Open this year was like an avalanche, Cai Guodong still chose to take a break from busy work to watch the game. He wanted to carefully see how Wu Li performed in front of Xue Hui, the third singles player of Chongqing Steel Club.
After all, Xue Hui is still a former national team player.
Forty-five minutes later, Wu Li won Xue Hui 4:3, giving Wang Chao the opportunity to challenge Sun Tianlong again.
At that moment, the director's camera swept across Liaoning Province Zhonggang Club's seat, and everyone noticed that Coach Qin Huachang's already dark and thin face was so gloomy that it could drip water.
Today is just Table Tennis Super League, not the World Series. No one understands why Sun Tianlong's mentor would care so much about a mere league game.
Moreover, what right do you have to feel unhappy? The loser now is Xue Hui. Does his performance have anything to do with you?
baffling!
But Cai Guodong has already taken out his small notebook and started recording. He decided to recruit Wu Li into the national team in the second half of this year, because in the game just now, Wu Li played too many things that he liked.
In fact, Wu Li is theoretically far inferior to Xue Hui, because in terms of technology alone, Xue Hui was collectively recognized by the Chinese table tennis coaching staff two years ago as "the future king of Chinese penhold style", "has the opportunity to break the horizontal stroke's dominance of the world table tennis for more than ten years", and "has a much higher ceiling than Bai Feng".
It is no exaggeration to say that when they first got Xue Hui, although the coaching staff did not express it clearly, they had a vague expectation in their hearts that the target was Sun Tianlong.
Xue Hui has the most standard forehand and backhand hitting posture among all straight-board players in Chinese Table Tennis First Team. Although his Penhold Backhand Loop was learned from Bai Feng, his scientific power generation is still in Above Bai Feng, in addition, Xue Hui has the most suitable height and weight for table tennis players, with sufficient strength, sufficient speed, skilled forehand and backhand conversion, and smooth connection. If only various individual tests were conducted on him, he would give almost a perfect score.
He even has the same silent and humble character as Sun Tianlong.
If not, how could he have directly won World Youth Championships four-time champion at the beginning of his debut?
But when the coaching staff began to vigorously train Xue Hui, Xue Hui quickly exposed his true nature.
This person seriously lacks the desire to win and the toughness on the court. He will be affected by various small factors. He will suddenly lose power when he is evenly matched with his opponent.
Because he didn't dare to use his forehand in the entire court. Even if the ball came from the forehand position, he had to adjust his body position to pull it back with his backhand.
However, in a single test, his forehand sideways blast was extremely powerful and had a very high success rate.
Later, the coaching staff began to do ideological work for him, because they really felt that Xue Hui's objective conditions were too good, and they could not bear to let Xue Hui be abandoned like this.
It didn't work.
Xue Hui obviously promised well, but when he got on the court, his feet were still soft when he should have been soft. During the official game, he had just listened to the tactics and strategies mentioned by the coach, but once he came on the field, he turned to playing instinctively.
To use Qin Huachang's private mocking words, he has no blood and no brains, so why should he play football? Why not help the old lady cross the road?
After a lot of attempts, Xue Hui was finally given up. He left the national team and went to play for Table Tennis Super League. Finally, he joined the Chongqing Steel Team and was on the same team as Sun Tianlong.
This is actually still Cai Guodong's backup plan. Cai Guodong's idea is to grind Xue Hui for a few years, and then let Sun Tianlong carry it with him regularly. Maybe one day Xue Hui will get the idea?
Such a near-perfect technological seedling will definitely become a killer in the future as long as the brain problems are solved.
Therefore, Xue Hui's current positioning is that if he can't achieve high, he can't do low, and he probably belongs to the gatekeeper of Table Tennis Super League. Facing Wu Li, a newcomer who has just risen with difficulty, he has a crushing advantage in all aspects. He doesn't need to have a good mentality. As long as he performs normally, he should be able to beat Wu Li to the ground.
When the fight started, Wu Li was really beaten to the point of being confused at first.
Xue Hui's offense is very smooth. He mobilizes from both sides and then takes the initiative to attack. His straight attack has a very beautiful line-changing ability. Even if Wu Li rushes wildly and makes a crazy emergency stop, it still cannot perfectly cover the entire table. In the first game, he was almost destroyed by Xue Hui, with a score of 11:2.
Most people would have collapsed at this time, because judging from the content of the game, Wu Li didn't get a single chance. The two points he scored were one due to his own luck and the other due to Xue Hui's offensive error.
But Wu Li is not an ordinary person. He was obviously more adaptable in the second game than in the first. It is no longer easy for Xue Hui to mobilize him easily.
But he still couldn't beat him and lost 11:5 in the end.
Wu Li continued to lose in the third game, 11:6.
In the fourth game, Xue Hui hit a 4-0 climax. At this point, everyone felt that the situation was over, but at this time, the off-court coach Fan Xiaoxian called a timeout.
Everyone knows that the person who really called the timeout was Wang Chao sitting behind Fan Xiaoxian.
After some adjustments, Wu Li returned to the competition.
In fact, he didn't get any effective advice. The only meaning of Wang Chao's timeout was to interrupt Xue Hui's fiery touch. It was like treating a dead horse as a live horse.
As a result, the feel of Xue Hui was really broken.
Next, Xue Hui made consecutive offensive mistakes, and was forced to tie the score by Wu Li. Then Xue Hui called a timeout. After returning, his state recovered slightly, and he played several beautiful forehand and backhand transition attacks.
But at this time, Wu Li had been beaten for half an hour. He had completely adapted to Xue Hui's rhythm. He began to show animal-like defense capabilities and resisted like crazy.
Xue Hui went from being able to kill someone with one board in the first game to being unable to kill him with five or six consecutive boards in the fourth game. His originally weak will was gradually worn away.
Then Wu Li started to fight back.
His offensive success rate is still not high, because Xue Hui controls the small ball well in the table, and rarely shows flaws even if he is in poor condition.
But Wu Li dares to play, he is not afraid of death. He plays hard for every ball. If he succeeds, he will continue to play. If he fails, he will try his best to save. He will explode with multiple rebounds in a row, forcefully pull back when he is at a disadvantage, and lose his racket to save the ball. It is really dangerous. He does not seem to be playing, but like he is fighting with others and will die if he loses.
Judging from the scene, Wu Li was in a state of disarray, but judging from the score, he miraculously came back one game after another.
In the final game, Xue Hui's mentality completely collapsed, and he was beaten 11:2 by Wu Li.
After the game, even Wu Li, who could not run to death, was so tired that he lay down beside the table and did not get up for a long time.
Cai Guodong wrote the name Wu Li in a small notebook, then turned to the first few pages and lightly crossed out the name Xue Hui.
The fate of the two people was exchanged here.
When the big boss in the table tennis world was making a choice, in a government agency in a city far away in southeastern China, another big boss was returning to his seat with a tea cup. He had a few newspapers under his arm and a computer on the table. The computer screen showed a picture of Spider Solitaire.
He pushed up his glasses with his fingers, gently blew away the tea foam on the water in the cup, took another sip, sucked in a few floating wolfberries into his mouth, and chewed them deliciously.
Then his eyes fell on the screen of the mobile phone in his other hand, his expression a little subtle.
His name is Ye Buqun. He is 45 years old. He works in a government department. He has a family and a daughter. He has a leisurely life every day and has a stable life. For the time being, there is neither a path for promotion nor a risk of decline. He is exactly the legendary government clerk who can sit on a newspaper for a day and be rich until the end of the day.
If a minor official has real power, he will be busy socializing every day, but if he is assigned to Qingshui Yamen, he will look like Ye Buqun.
But on the Internet, he has another identity: forum boss Ye Hongye.
That's right, since the beginning of the year, this is the person who has been posting 10,000-word long articles crazily and crazily badmouthing Spade Q.
Ye Hongye has a leisurely job and usually has nothing to do. His favorite thing is to visit forums. He has been a big boss at Silver Ball Dance Forum for many years, and because he actually joined the company as a secretary in his early years, he often ghostwrote for leaders, so he wrote excellent articles. In the early years, the leader above him loved Playing table tennis, Ye Hongye followed his passion and practiced hard. In the end, the leader was accidentally framed and lost his official status. Ye Hongye's career path was cut off and he was assigned to Qingshui Yamen. Only his interest in table tennis remained intact.
In fact, Ye Hongye has no personal grudge against Spade Q. On the contrary, when Wang Chao first rose to prominence, he could barely be considered a fan of Spade Q.
But all the turning points stem from a battle of spirits.
At that time, Spade Q was playing Jiangcheng University, and the derby battle naturally aroused a lot of discussion on the forum. As a big boss, Ye Hongye was questioned, and on a whim he made a direct assertion: Jiangcheng University Team will win.
But then news came out that Luo Jiu was avoiding the competition, and someone immediately cue Ye Hongye and asked, do your previous words still count?
Ye Hongye wanted to say no, but he had been in the forum for many years and already knew the brain circuits of Kang Jing very well. He knew in his heart that if he changed his mind, the other party would definitely laugh at him and say, "You are so smart, could it be that you didn't consider Luo Jiu's avoidance of the game at all when you made your prediction?"
Ye Hongye thought carefully and finally found that even if Luo Jiu did not participate, it would be difficult for Spade Q to win.
Because Wu Li had not yet risen at that time, in Ye Hongye's view, except for Wang Chao, the other two Spade Q were completely two pieces of shit. On Jiangcheng University's side, although one Luo Jiu was gone, only one piece of shit was left, and the other two were barely good fertilizers.
So he publicly responded on the forum: Jiangcheng University will win. What I said is that Luo Jiu will withdraw from the competition. Naturally, I have expected it.
