"This gold medal will be the one we are least sure about in Olympic Games, but International Table Tennis Federation insists on ranking it at the top. This is clearly against us." Cai Guodong said, "Once the first gold medal falls aside, it will definitely have a heavy blow to the morale of our team, and the two players participating in the mixed doubles will most likely affect the mentality of the subsequent games."
These are commonplaces, and the coaches nodded one after another. At this point, they finally understood why Wang Wendong and Ge Miao were attending the meeting today.
Obviously, today we plan to make a preliminary decision on the mixed doubles candidates.
Wang Wendong directly stated. "There is no problem with women's table tennis. If you are a veteran, either World number one's Jin Ling or World Ranking Second's Liu Wen can also play mixed doubles. Originally, they were paired with Women's Doubles, but if one of them is selected for the mixed doubles, let the other person and the world's third-ranked Zhu Lingling play with Women's Doubles. In short, we have a lot of manpower here, and each person can play two at most. There will be no problem in terms of competition intensity and physical distribution."
This was said very eloquently, and all the men's table tennis coaches were a little itchy.
This is called having food in your hands and no panic in your heart.
There are five main players in women's table tennis, four of which occupy the top four in the world. Judging from the market trends in the past few years, regardless of fourth or fifth, at least the top three are Jin Ling Liu Wen Zhu Lingling. There are three types of three people. With different styles, no matter who goes out, they can sweep the world, so Wang Wendong can play with the tricks of permutations and combinations to his heart's content. As long as he knows basic high school mathematics knowledge, he can arrange the formation of the women's national table tennis team. It is really comfortable to be the head coach.
Many coaches are thinking at this time, "Why didn't Sun Tianlong beat you to death when you were on a variety show last month?"
Ge Miao coach added fuel to the fire at this time, "It's your men's team, I'm afraid it's not convenient for several veterans."
This is naked ridicule.
Except for Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong, the five main players of the men's team, the other three have been really bad lately. They can't even defeat other opponents in the world in singles. How can they rely on their personal abilities to suppress their opponents in mixed doubles?
After all, we have no tactical advantage in mixed doubles.
Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong are stable for the time being, but as soon as spring begins this year, they are also in danger one after another.
Sun Tianlong tried to suppress Wang Chao, but was directly defeated. Although the content of the game was still exciting, which made non-Chinese associations despair, his injuries were real. Today, Dragon Team is over 30 years old and has to go all out in just singles. If he is also required to play mixed doubles, he may not be able to handle it.
As for Luo Jiu, everyone still remembers his final match with Hook last month.
Facts have proved that the strength of non-Chinese associations men's players has reached the highest peak since the emergence of table tennis. The European Table Tennis Association, represented by the pervert Hook, has completely risen. We have really caught up in terms of technology and hard power.
If Huaping wants to continue to dominate the world, Luo Jiu must practice hard and hard. No matter what, he must pass Hook. Under such circumstances, how can he have the energy to consider mixed doubles?
Then, there is another most important reason, that is, Olympic Games Men's Doubles must let Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu partner up. Only in this way can we ensure that Men's Doubles's gold medal will not be left behind in today's riddled situation.
Therefore, the current men's table tennis team, with the five main players working hard and deploying their troops, can only barely guarantee one Men's Singles gold medal and one Men's Doubles gold medal.
The situation is just that bad.
Then the mixed doubles must find someone elsewhere.
In fact, the situation is quite obvious. At this moment, everyone's eyes are on He Jingping, even Zhu Zeshi is no exception.
"Old He, this is my first Olympic gold medal in mixed doubles. This thing is really valuable. If you get it, it will go down in history." Cai Guodong said.
"That's right, at a time when the five major forces are all in crisis, your disciple Wang Chao is more reliable." Wang Lu said.
"Wang Chao is a good kid. Last year, Table Tennis First Division, in doubles, he almost used one person as two people and forced him to fly. In the end, he won so many games." Coach Cheng Aimin said.
"Don't talk about Table Tennis First Division, Table Tennis Super League's doubles this year is also good. In the match against Jiangcheng University, he brought Wu Li to directly defeat the combination of two national team players. I felt at the time that this kid really has a way in doubles." Chen Taolue said.
Qin Huachang laughed loudly, "Old He taught me well. Oh no, it wasn't him, but at least he has a keen eye for recognizing talents."
He Jingping was so praised that he felt dizzy and instinctively felt that something was wrong. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhu Zeshi: "Senior brother, is this true?"
Zhu Zeshi's expression was very subtle. He nodded, shook his head, and finally avoided his eyes and remained silent.
In fact, Zhu Zeshi can see that mixed doubles is a trap.
If I get this gold medal, it will be an honor, but if I start from the same starting line as non-Chinese associations, it is really unknown whether I can win.
If Sun Tianlong and Jin Ling are matched, then at least they will be overwhelming in terms of hard power. Even if the tactics are simple, the chances of victory are still high, but if it is replaced by Wang Chao...
Zhu Zeshi admits that Wang Chao is a super genius, but he still doesn't think Wang Chao's competition experience can be compared with Sun Tianlong. In fact, he has watched Wang Chao There were two shocking games between E and Sun Tianlong. In the second game, Sun Tianlong had already suffered a relapse of injury, so there was no way to refer to it. However, there were actually many interesting details in the first game.
Especially the first game.
Zhu Zeshi noticed that Wang Chao was crushed by Sun Tianlong in almost every place where on-the-spot judgment and game experience were required.
At least half of the points he lost in the first game were due to experience rather than strength.
And then there is a more important point: if Wang Chao is really allowed to play mixed doubles, the women's team probably won't send out the top 3, or even the top 5.
Why?
Because the age difference between the two parties is too big, there will definitely be various inconveniences when cooperating. This inconvenience is mainly reflected in mutual communication.
Don't think this is a small problem. In fact, Huaping has made some painless attempts in the past. In the end, it turns out that the best mixed doubles combination is to find players of the same generation. Otherwise, the younger players will not dare to directly give opinions to the senior players, and it is difficult for the senior players to understand what the younger players are thinking about when playing.
There is a generation gap between the two sides, whether it is in daily habits, characteristics of the ball, or even views on the same game situation.
So just imagine, what would Wang Chao, who was originally unreliable in mixed doubles, be paired with a newly selected young player from the women's table tennis team?
Just because the top three players in female table tennis are invincible does not mean that the young talents in female table tennis are also so reliable.
God knows what it will look like!
But the coaches are still praising him relentlessly.
"I think Wang Chao is more suitable to play mixed doubles than Men's Doubles. When you see him playing in the league, his doubles partners are always much weaker than him. Isn't this exactly the same as playing mixed doubles? As we all know, the physical strength of female players is much worse than that of male players."
"And Wang Chao can play both straight forehand and horizontal backhand. He is a versatile player."
"He is also very good at playing ball. When he played Table Tennis First Division, he did all the dirty work."
"The biggest fear in Mixed Doubles is that male players fight against themselves. The most important thing is that male players must be backward compatible and take into account the playing styles of female players. In this regard, Wang Chao has done a perfect job."
"I dare say that even if Sun Tianlong is paired with Jin Ling, it will not produce the natural effect of Wang Chao."
"Hahaha, Sun Tianlong and Jin Ling are just trying to play. They are too simple and crude. If you really want to play technical skills, you have to look at Wang Chao."
"As for Luo Jiu and Liu Wen, that is pure nonsense."
"Don't you think Xiao Fei matching Zhu Lingling is nonsense?"
"Hahaha, Wang Chao is really a treasure for our Huaping team."
He Jingping has been shot numb.
Although he vaguely felt something was wrong, he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Instead, he felt that mixed doubles was really suitable for Wang Chao.
After all, he could see that Wang Chao wanted to have sex with Olympic Games.
But how difficult is the competition for the Olympic Games quota?
Instead of trying every means to compete with the veteran players for the third spot, it would be better to find another way and start with mixed doubles and go straight to the Olympics.
The first Olympic mixed doubles gold medal in history. This gold content is comparable to the Men's Singles championship gold medal.
He Jingping looked at Zhu Zeshi again and found that Zhu Zeshi still didn't look at him.
He then looked at Qiu Yinong, who had just joined the national team coaching staff.
Qiu Yinong smiled shyly, "I'm a junior. I just came here and I don't know anything. What do you think I'm doing?"
So He Jingping can only watch Qin Huachang.
At the critical moment, he felt that Old Qin was still trustworthy. After all, Qin and Zhu factions was of the same spirit.
Qin Huachang smiled at him and nodded, "It's such a great thing, why don't you agree quickly?"
He Jingping realized it.
It was impossible for Old Qin to lie to him. After all, Old Qin had just returned from Liancheng City and should already know what he had done. Then, Old Qin should be very grateful to himself.
So he nodded enthusiastically. "Okay, in that case, I have agreed to this matter on behalf of Wang Chao. When the time comes, the child will study mixed doubles. Please pay more attention and help discuss the technical and tactical play of mixed doubles."
Everyone said in unison, "It is necessary."
So the overall situation was decided, Wang Wendong said with a smile, "Okay, okay, in that case, I will hold an internal selection on the women's team when I go back to ensure that Wang Chao is selected the most suitable partner. Let's enter the Olympics hand in hand and create greater glory for our Chinese table tennis team."
This big talk made He Jingping's blood boil with excitement. He nodded heavily and said "Yeah".
But when the show ended, he knew something was wrong.
"Junior brother, aren't you very knowledgeable when it comes to technology? Why can't you understand such a simple situation?" Zhu Zeshi sighed in three sentences: "Old Cai kept glaring at me in the meeting just now. I didn't dare to give you a hint, but I deliberately didn't look at you and looked guilty. Don't you think it's abnormal at all? Don't you have any suspicion at all?"
He Jingping still didn't understand. Zhu Zeshi had no choice but to briefly explain his thoughts to him.
"What I'm saying now is secondary. The most important thing is, don't you really know what your Wang Chao wants to do this year?" Zhu Zeshi sighed again, "He first provoked Luo Jiu, and then tried to challenge Sun Tianlong. Why is he so brave? He made it clear that he wants to be in Olympic Games builds his worth before he comes, and then goes straight to the Olympics Men's Singles. His goal has always been Olympic Games men's singles gold medal. If you do this now, it is almost equivalent to blocking his Men's Singles path. You can see if he will hate you to death."
He Jingping was stunned.
The organization of Huaping is amazing. Sometimes the leaders are very reasonable. For example, when asking you to take over a burden, you have to ask yourself and cannot force you down. But sometimes this place is full of the dregs of some kind of feudal thought. For example, at this moment, He Jingping is Wang Chao's teacher, he obviously should not represent Wang Chao's will, but everyone agreed that he could help Wang Chao make the decision, so after he was deceived, Wang Chao's fate was decided.
Resistance is futile.
He Jingping angrily ran to Qin Huachang for an explanation, but Qin Huachang looked at him like a fool. After a while, he sighed faintly, "Old He, you are a good person..."
"Don't bullshit me, just tell me, are you worthy of me?" He Jingping asked him.
"I'm sorry for you, and I will definitely find opportunities to repay you in the future, but today's matter is a general trend, and I really can't help it." Qin Huachang told the truth, "I am moved, but I still have to calculate..."
At this moment Qin Huachang felt a little guilty.
Because the selection of the mixed doubles men's team does not actually need to be decided immediately. It is enough to wait for two months and then choose again. The reason why Cai Guodong is eager to decide is exactly what Qin Huachang suggested.
Why?
Because only Qin Huachang himself knows how Fan Xiaodong and Swedish Open will amaze the world this time, and even the brilliance of light may be comparable to Wang Chao.
So, if the delay continues, what if Fan Xiaodong catches the eye of the head coach and the mixed doubles spot falls to Fan Xiaodong?
Qin and Zhu are originally birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately.
Of course, it is a dead Daoist friend but not a poor Daoist.
