Qin Huachang Entering Liancheng City is comparable to the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty going to Hongmen. It is a matter that requires great courage.
But he can't help it, because Fan Xiaodong is about to debut.
When his disciple debuts, he must sit in the position of guidance from the sidelines.
Of course, he can also ask He Jingping to help guide him. After all, He Jingping will also go this time, and here at Sister Fan, he always thought that Fan Xiaodong was practicing with He Jingping.
But Qin Huachang is not willing to give in...
For Fan Xiaodong, he traveled to Liancheng City more than a dozen times last year. He was beaten with a broom, bitten by a dog, and pricked with a needle (especially for rabies vaccination). He suffered all the hardships he could endure. After returning to Huaping, he accompanied Fan Xiaodong to practice every step of the way, racking his brains to help Fan Xiaodong designed the tactical system, and he even kept the confidentiality work to the extreme. Except for Liu Shu and Zhu Ding who served as sparring partners, even the head coach Cai Guodong had never really seen Fan Xiaodong's training routine.
Qin Huachang dared to touch his conscience that was not bright red and said that he really tried his best.
He had never been so concerned when training Sun Tianlong.
Now that Fan Xiaodong has made his debut, Qin Huachang thinks that Fan Xiaodong will become an instant hit and shock the world in one battle. In this case, how can he really let He Jingping pick this big peach?
Even if he risked his life and risked being bitten by Ah Huang again, he still had to establish his relationship as master and disciple with Fan Xiaodong.
But he was quick-witted. At the critical moment, he thought of asking Wang Chao to accompany him, and took Geng Shuai away from Spade Q training base.
The reason is also very simple: Geng Shuai and Fan Pingnan were originally one of the six dragons. Even if their friendship is not deep, there is always some affection.
He was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. He would ask for a helper if he could, and use as many life-saving straws as he could. He just hoped that he could come back alive from this trip.
So on April 1st, April Fool's Day, a group of four people arrived at Liancheng City.
But after that, Qin Huachang became a little suspicious. He felt that since it was April Fool's Day, the credibility of his words was very low. What if Sister Fan thought he was joking when he confessed to Sister Fan? What should he do?
So he dragged everyone away and refused to let them go. Even Fan Xiaodong wanted to go to the arena to see his brother but was stopped by Qin Huachang. Everyone lay bored in the hotel all day, and waited until April 2 to set off for the arena together.
Everything in the arena was as usual, but when Fan Pingnan met Qin Huachang, the atmosphere between the master and the disciple was quite subtle, one was full of guilt, the other was full of longing, the scene was a bit bloody, and people didn't want to watch it.
So Wang Chao and Geng Shuai followed Fan Xiaodong to the front of the arena, playing ball and having fun with the regulars in the arena, which brought a small climax to the atmosphere in the arena.
After all, this is the guest combination of World Champion + the top six dragons. This level is too high. Even if you go to the largest gymnasium of Liancheng City, you have to be treated as an honored guest. And in this broken stadium, I can only say that the world here is too small. I am afraid that I will use too much force and break the space barrier.
The small arena is dominated by regular customers. These people all know Fan Xiaodong. Now that they heard that Fan Xiaodong will participate in Swedish Open in April, everyone is very interested and said that they will definitely stay in front of the screen to watch how Fan Xiaodong brings glory to the country.
After the master and apprentice finished expressing their feelings in the room, Fan Pingnan randomly found someone to help look after the scene, then pushed the wheelchair and followed everyone home.
When he walked into the small farmyard, Qin Huachang was nervous, but in fact, Sister Fan acted very calmly. After seeing such a large group of people, he was a little surprised at first, and then showed surprise. Then he hugged his youngest son, whom he had not seen for half a year, for a long time, and looked up and down, asking questions such as "Has he lost weight?" "Has he gotten darker?" "Have he eaten well?"
In the end, when both parties sat down in the simple living room, Qin Huachang found an opportunity to confess and be lenient.
He had already prepared the draft. At this time, he was describing with great emotion how he worked hard for Fan Xiaodong, how he carefully trained him, and how he paid attention to the balance between work and rest. There was absolutely no overtraining. As he continued to talk, Sister Fan didn't want to hear it anymore and said, "Coach Qin, you don't have to say it, I believe you."
Qin Huachang was stunned.
He thought this game was in hell mode. Why was it that he had already passed the level in easy mode before he even started exerting force?
"I already knew what you said."
Sister Fan said without surprising, "When I came back from the imperial capital last year, I was worried that Xiao Dong would not have a good time with you, so I specifically asked for your phone number Coach He. I was thinking Yes, with the phone, I can call him every now and then to ask about the situation, but when I called him for the first time, Coach He told me very seriously that he is not our coach Xiao Dong, you are."
Qin Huachang The mouth moved and opened slightly, but no words came out.
Sister Fan continued, "I was in a hurry and wanted to go to the Imperial City again. I scolded him on the phone, which was a bit unpleasant... but Coach He told me that he promised that Xiao Dong would be fine. He He was willing to vouch for his reputation. He also said that if I didn't believe it, I could record it now. He repeated this sentence. He also said that you are the most powerful coach in China. Xiao Dong It is better to follow you than to follow him. I heard him say this, so I reluctantly believed it."
Sister Fan smiled when she said this. She was actually a very simple farm woman, but perhaps the past confrontations between her and Qin Huachang were so weird that it was the first time for Qin Huachang that they had known each other for such a long time that this woman could actually smile.
This made Qin Huachang feel a little flattered.
"Coach He was probably afraid that I would be uneasy, so he later took the initiative to tell me that he could take the initiative to report on Xiao Dong's situation to me every once in a while... But in fact, he did better than this. Not only did he often call me, but he also sent me photos, all of which he secretly took of Xiao Dong when he was practicing and when he was eating."
Sister Fan said this and turned to greet Fan Pingnan: "What are you still doing? Go to the garden to pick vegetables. Let's have lunch together."
At this point, the matter was resolved smoothly and everyone was happy, but Qin Huachang felt a little unhappy.
Facts have proved that it was his villain's heart that spoiled the gentleman.
Just like what Cai Guodong said when he comforted him, "Old He would deliberately pick your peach? If you put the peach to his mouth, he wouldn't even take a bite."
He thought today's matter was bigger than the sky, but He Jingping had actually been helping him solve the problem since last year.
Qin Huachang remembered that during this period, He Jingping always secretly went to watch Fan Xiaodong practice. He was still wary, thinking that Old He was helping Wang Chao spy on military affairs. Only now did he know that Old He was just for taking photos.
Qin Huachang felt very guilty and didn't know what to say, so he seemed a little silent until he returned to the imperial capital from Liancheng City.
Probably because everyone is a silver coin, Wang Chao, although not a disciple of the Qin sect, did not have much worry about talking to Qin Huachang. He secretly asked Old Qin: "You always touch your conscience, are you even a little bit ashamed?"
Qin Huachang snorted, "Old He helped me, and I will naturally get something in return. You don't need to make any insinuations, just wait and see."
Then Geng Shuai returned to Jiangcheng alone, while Wang Chao followed Old Qin to the national team training base, preparing to go to Sweden to participate in the next open tournament.
That afternoon, Cai Guodong called everyone for a meeting. What was different from the previous meeting was that this meeting not only included the coaches of the men's table tennis team, but also the head coach of the women's team, Wang Wendong, and one of the head coaches, Ge Miao.
The door of the conference room was closed, and Cai Guodong said with a solemn expression, "About Olympic Games, International Table Tennis Federation has released a new rumor."
International Table Tennis Federation is a thief. Over the years, they have made a lot of changes to the rules of table tennis. Almost every change is detrimental to China Table Tennis, but they can plausibly explain a lot of truth for almost every change.
The reason for the cancellation of the blocked serve was actually that the popular forehand straight blocked serve-to-fast-break style of play in Huaping at that time was almost unsolvable. However, they said that this was to improve the fairness of the game and reduce the contingency of the game.
The reason for the increase in the diameter of table tennis balls is actually that Chinese table tennis players are good at playing fast breaks and can often beat European players to the point where they cannot react at all. However, they say that this is because the ball is too small and difficult to catch with the naked eye, and the number of rounds is too few, making it seriously insufficient for viewing.
The reason for the change in table tennis materials is actually that non-Chinese associations players cannot adapt to the strong spin and fast pace played by Chinese table tennis players. However, they said that this is to make the attributes and properties of the competition equipment more stable and avoid technical errors caused by subtle errors between small balls.
The above are all big changes, and there are still a lot of small changes.
The reason why Huaping has always accepted such long-lasting weakening changes is not only that Huaping is confident enough, but also because almost all of International Table Tennis Federation's changes have been unanimously supported by non-Chinese associations.
Unless we don't play with them, we have to accept it.
This is the so-called "minority obeys the majority".
The basic process for International Table Tennis Federation to do this is to first spread the word, then wait for the discussion to ferment, and finally a certain non-Chinese associations takes the initiative, and then International Table Tennis Federation accepts it as a matter of course, pretending to consult various associations for their opinions, and finally forming a conclusion.
In fact, everyone here has basically heard the news this time.
"The Olympic Games table tennis event was originally scheduled to be Men's Singles, Men's Doubles, Women's Singles and Women's Doubles, but this time, International Table Tennis Federation decided to add mixed doubles to the official Olympic events, and will put this gold medal at the forefront."
Cai Guodong said, "If this matter is implemented, then our preparation plan for this year's Olympic Games must make major changes from now on."
In the conference room, everyone nodded.
Huaping's goal for Olympic Games is always "I want it all." Now that mixed doubles is added, it means that the mixed doubles gold medal must also be accounted for.
But on the mixed doubles track, Huaping has no advantage compared to non-Chinese associations.
It's not that our mixed doubles isn't great. In fact, China has won a lot of mixed doubles gold medals. For example, the famous official table tennis commentator Yi Jing was the mixed doubles World Champion back then.
The real problem is that we never really took mixed doubles seriously.
In the past, Huaping's selection of mixed doubles quotas was simple and crude. Basically, the men's table tennis team Great Demon King and the women's table tennis team Great Demon King were improvised. After a few days of practice, relying on their personal abilities, they could securely defeat each other on the court.
If both Great Demon King have relatively arduous individual singles tasks to complete, then let the second male table tennis player and the second female table tennis player get together and practice for a few days. Basically, there is still no suspense about winning the championship.
In addition, Huaping also has some more adaptable considerations, such as finding a forehand player in First Team and a backhand player to create a perfect match, or finding two backhand players to create a combination that non-Chinese associations is particularly uncomfortable with.
All in all, Huaping is not picky about mixed doubles, and is not limited by forehand and backhand habits. After all, almost all Huaping players are all-around forehand and backhand, and there are no obvious shortcomings.
But now, if Mixed Doubles were to enter Olympic Games, the situation would be completely different.
Regardless of whether Huaping makes preparations or not, non-Chinese associations will definitely try his best to sprint on the mixed doubles track.
Because on the Men's Singles Women's Singles Men's Doubles Women's Doubles track, Huaping was too experienced to compete, but in the mixed doubles, everyone was inexperienced, so the opportunity came.
