In front of He Jingping, Wang Chao naturally has no need to continue pretending.
"What else can I do?" Wang Chao smiled and lay down on the sofa. He no longer looked like he was sitting upright just now, and said lazily, "Of course... help Wu Li find a good sparring partner, and help senior brother find a good helper."
He Jingping subconsciously said "Huh" at first, then suddenly realized something was wrong, and suddenly his eyes widened. "What did you say?"
He could guess that Wang Chao wanted to drag Hook to Spade Q. After all, Spade Q did not do well after being promoted to the Super League and was always in the middle and lower reaches. Although Wu Li has a promising future, it is not enough at this stage. In addition, Geng Shuai cannot keep up with his current strength, so Spade Q always has a lame leg no matter how hard he works.
This kind of problem can only be solved by buying new people.
And Hook, although not from China, is undoubtedly the best power hitter found in the world.
Before Hook said goodbye, He Jingping originally had some doubts about Wang Chao's plan.
After all, what Fan Xiaofan wants to do is to be an authentic geo-based team. For the inexplicable persistence of "all-Hubei team", he did not compromise when Spade Q was about to close down in the first half of last year. So this year, Spade Q has obviously been promoted and can continue to survive healthily even without Hook. How could a sentimental person like Fan Xiaofan break the rules he has set for more than ten years because of Hook's strength?
He Jingping originally thought that Wang Chao wanted to get some wind from Hook first, and then go back and find a way to convince Fan Xiaofan.
But now he discovered that Wang Chao had other plans.
Wang Chao said "find a helper for senior brother", which made it clear that he did not want Hook to join Spade Q.
"Teacher, do you still want to hide it from me?" Wang Chao saw that he didn't speak, so he continued, "There should be some stories between senior brother and Sister Xian, right?"
He Jingping remained silent.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, I'll guess it myself."
Wang Chao said, "Senior brother is a very emotional person. He only played for Spade Q for one year, but he still maintains a good relationship with Boss Fan after so many years. Last year, Spade Q was short of people. After hearing about my situation from you, senior brother directly asked Boss Fan to go to the city team to recruit people. I was thinking at the time, why does senior brother help Spade Q like this?"
"If we really want to talk about feelings, Jiangcheng University Club, whom he has been with for six years, should be more affectionate, right? But in the Jiangcheng City derby last month, my senior brother chose to avoid the fight without any psychological burden... He didn't want to have internal friction with me., I can understand this, but I always feel that senior brother's performance is too understated, and Jiangcheng University Team seems to have no objection at all. Even if they lost the game in the end, no one said a bad word about senior brother, so I guess they must know something."
"They must feel that when Jiangcheng University Team meets Spade Q, it is completely understandable for senior brother to avoid the fight."
"Then I thought that Brother Geng was also introduced to Boss Fan by my senior brother. Boss Fan has been extremely kind to Brother Geng in the past six years. Speaking of which, it was mostly for the sake of my senior brother."
"What's more, once Boss Fan took us to visit Spade Q's honor exhibition room and accidentally let us know that our senior brother almost became the son-in-law of their old Fan family."
He looked at He Jingping's pretending to be calm and said with a smile, "Teacher, you see, it was actually Boss Fan who leaked the secret first. Why do you have any need to keep it secret?"
He Jingping can't sit still.
He hummed. "You just said you wanted to find a good helper for Xiaojiu, does that mean you want Hook to go to Jiangcheng University Team?"
Wang Chao nodded. "Yes."
He Jingping frowned and said, "Then have you ever thought about it, if Hook really goes to Jiangcheng University Team, you Spade Q will be crushed to death by them. If we encounter the same city derby again in the future, I dare say you will not have a one percent chance...Wang Chao, what are you trying to do?"
Wang Chao glanced at him. "Teacher, stop pretending, you clearly understand what I mean."
He Jingping shook his head seriously. "I don't understand."
Wang Chao sighed, "Teacher, you really can't lie... Do you know that when you are duplicitous, you make a lot of little moves, blinking your eyes hard, and keeping your hands busy... The buttons of your shirt are almost pulled off."
He Jingping was quite embarrassed. When he lowered his head, he saw that he was rubbing the button between his two fingers.
"Actually, senior brother often calls Sister Xian. I've bumped into him several times. I'm not stupid. Of course I can see that they are in love." Wang Chao said, "I just can't figure it out. They are both very old. If senior brother just joined the team seven years ago, it would have made sense that he was not allowed to fall in love, but now, the head coach should not care about it, right? Why do they keep sneaking around?"
Wang Chao There is nothing wrong with what he said. The Huaping coaching staff is not completely unkind. Regardless of past and future life, the view on falling in love has always been "cannot affect status and performance", rather than "cannot fall in love" in an absolute sense.
Young players are in the sprint stage, so naturally they can't be distracted, but at the age of Luo Jiu or even Dragon Team, they have actually become older youths. If you don't let others fall in love, is it possible that you really wait for them to retire and find a wife? Is it true that after you retire as a table tennis player, you can go to the gymnastics team or the diving team to choose a girlfriend?
Like Dragon Team, who is 31 years old. In fact, he already had a girlfriend a few years ago and has already talked about marriage. He just waits for Dragon Team to get married as soon as he retires. Both Qin Huachang and Cai Guodong are happy to see this. As a result, Dragon Team's girlfriend has come to visit Chinese Table Tennis base several times, and each time the head coach has to greet him personally, which fully demonstrates the importance the coaching staff attaches to Dragon Team, and also gives Dragon Team enough face in front of his girlfriend.
Therefore, in Wang Chao's view, a person like Luo Jiu, who has an out-of-touch personality and a big mouth, should not just announce his love affair to the world, but at least there is no reason to hide it.
As a girl, Fan Xiaoxian waited silently for seven years and missed her blooming age. It was really a big sacrifice.
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with an explanation." Wang Chao continued, "Perhaps the senior brother gave Sister Xian a certain promise? He wanted to fulfill the promise and then live happily with Sister Xian got married? But he didn't expect that after leaving Spade Q to join the national team, he had been doing poorly and had not been able to complete his technical transformation. So unknowingly, seven years had passed and he had never been able to fulfill his promise, right?"
He Jingping was forced to do nothing by him. The expression on his face was extremely embarrassing, and he finally said, "I really can't say... Xiaojiu told me not to tell you no matter what."
"I understand when you say that. It seems to be what I guessed." Wang Chao smiled, "Let me guess more specifically. Did senior brother tell Sister Xian back then that when I, Luo Jiu, took Grand Slam, I would come back and marry you?"
He Jingping remained silent.
"Okay, let's lower our requirements. What my senior brother said is that when I, Luo Jiu, win the most valuable Olympic championship, I will come back and marry you."
He looked at He Jingping's expression and frowned slightly. "Isn't that right? Is it really like what I guessed at first, that senior brother wants to win the Table Tennis Super League championship or Table Tennis Super League annual MVP before marrying Sister Xian? If that's the case, then if I send Hook over, senior brother can get his wish."
The more he talked, the closer he got. By the time he got to this point, he was almost in front of He Jingping. Such a close look made He Jingping completely unable to hold on. He had to reach out and push him away. He sighed, "Okay, okay, don't test me anymore. I'll give in... Anyway, you have guessed it yourself. There is no point in hiding it any longer. In fact, it's like this..."
The matter is not complicated. Wang Chao has indeed guessed more than half of it right. There are only a few details that need to be added.
After Luo Jiu led Spade Q to win the championship in Table Tennis First Division, he actually didn't want to leave. He wanted to play for another year and lead Spade Q to promotion. But at that time, Fan Xiaoxian took the initiative to persuade him to leave Spade Q and go to Jiangcheng University Team. The purpose was naturally for the future of Luo Jiu, and he wanted him to play high-level Table Tennis Super League instead of continuing to play low-level Table Tennis First Division.
She had already considered at that time that Luo Jiu would definitely be selected for the national team, and national team players were not allowed to fall in love, so from the beginning, she decided to wait.
Fan Xiaofan was naturally not happy about this. He was a businessman, and of course he didn't want to let such an excellent player like Luo Jiu go. However, he couldn't stop his sister from turning her elbow outward, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Luo Jiu was very moved. His promise at that time was, "When I win the Olympic championship, I will come back in glory and marry you."
At that time, the last Olympic Games would be held in two and a half years. Luo Jiu made this promise, considering that two years would be enough for him to gain a foothold in the national team and achieve results, and two and a half years would be enough for him to transform from a newcomer to a veteran. Once he got World Champion, he would have passed the sprint period and entered a stable period. When he announced his relationship at that time, the coaching staff would not have any objections, but would instead send blessings.
What's more, he was only 21 that year and Fan Xiaoxian was only 20. He felt that it was appropriate for him to get married at the age of 23, and Fan Xiaoxian didn't have to wait too long.
At that time, he was said to be the most talented, high-spirited, and ambitious. He thought that he was just around the corner to become the best player in the world. He never dreamed that there would be so many twists and turns after joining the national team. Unknowingly, he wasted seven years.
And after finally completing the magical transformation of his skills recently, he burst out with endless motivation.
Everyone is watching the last year of Sun Tianlong's career. Everyone hopes that Sun Tianlong can burn to the fullest in this last year, win the unprecedented achievement of Double Grand Slam, and finally retire with a bang.
But Luo Jiu wants to come out of the blue to grab Sun Tianlong's gold medal. Doesn't he know that this offends people?
Of course he knows, he just has no choice. He is a man, and he is not considered a leftover man at the age of 27, but Fan Xiaoxian can no longer afford to wait. Even if Fan Xiaoxian never urges him, where can he ask Bilian to let Fan Xiaoxian wait one more year, just to send Brother Long to retire first?
So he, like Sun Tianlong, has reasons to fight.
Sun Tianlong is only one Olympic Games gold medal away from achieving Double Grand Slam, and if he Luo Jiu can win this Olympic gold medal, he will most likely win the gold medal in the future. Grand Slam will be completed within one year, but if you wait another four years to play the next Olympic Games, Luo Jiu will have no confidence at all. After all, he will be old by then and will not be able to play anymore.
So at the end of this year, Olympic Games, between him and Sun Tianlong, there is destined to be a person who will have a hard time with each other and will regret it for the rest of his life.
The above are all Luo Jiu's thoughts before March this year.
An extremely important milestone event occurred in March this year: Wang Chao defeated Sun Tianlong head-on.
This meant that he officially joined the competition for the Olympic gold medal. There happened to be three men's singles quotas in the Olympics, so Luo Jiu was shocked at the time.
He realized that it turned out that his junior brother was a threat enough.
After watching the Table Tennis Super League battle between Wang Chao and Sun Tianlong, he first called Wang Chao to congratulate him and ask for advice on how to fight Hook, and later that day, he told He Jingping very seriously not to tell Wang Chao about himself and Fan Xiaoxian.
Why, you ask?
Because he was worried that Wang Chao would give up the competition for the Olympic singles quota for him out of sympathy or other psychology.
Luo Jiu is arrogant. When Wang Chao is not a threat to him, he can joke casually and beg Wang Chao to let him go. He can do tricks and make his body very low. But when Wang Chao is really a threat to him, he is deeply afraid that these things will affect Wang Chao's fighting spirit.
If Wang Chao wants to fight, then fight openly and openly. Although Luo Jiu is not sure of winning, he will never be afraid.
Even if you really lose in the end and you are really upset, it is because you are not as good as others and you have nothing to regret.
"I don't know what to do for you." He Jingping scratched his hair irritably until it was messed up. "Others want to train a disciple to compete in the Olympic singles, but I have two at once. I am still worried here, not knowing who I want to win. It seems as if the gold medal has been reserved by me He Jingping... Do you think this is Versailles?"
Wang Chao couldn't help laughing, "Teacher, off-site coaching is not allowed in the Chinese table tennis civil war. What kind of worries are you having?"
He paused. "If you really want to do something, then think carefully about how we should deal with Hook after Table Tennis Super League's training."
When it comes to technical issues, He Jingping's temperament suddenly changed. He glanced at Wang Chao, and he was a little bit conceited. "You kid... I am your master after all, do you really think I don't understand anything?"
Wang Chao smiled and said, "Then please give me some advice, master."
He Jingping nodded slightly. "Hook, in my opinion, can't really stabilize in this life. Even if Table Tennis Super League trains for a few years, it will only improve slightly at best. If you want to make a radical change, it is probably impossible. After all, his golf course is wrong at the deepest root..."
Wang Chao nodded in agreement.
In fact, this is his view too.
He is not a selfless person. He is willing to help Hook. Naturally, he feels that Hook's threat to Huaping will not continue to increase in the future.
As He Jingping said, he was really wrong.
Generally speaking, when a player makes a mistake during training, it can be compared to the human body contracting a disease, such as a cold. He just needs to take some medicine and rest for two days.
The problem of players like Qi Hao can be compared to a problem with a limb. If it really needs to be cured, it will have to be amputated, but in the end he can still live.
The problem with Hook is that there is a problem with the internal organs, heart, and brain. This thing cannot be removed with a knife. If it is cut, the person will die, so it can only be carefully maintained with medicine.
Therefore, in the future, Hook can improve his stability and skills and tactics, but not greatly. As he improves his stability, he will also grow older, so his strength and reaction speed will decline simultaneously. Under such a dynamic balance, his playing style and technical composition will change slightly, but his overall combat power is actually relatively constant.
He is a very physical player, which means that his strong period will not last long.
Only players like Sun Tianlong and Wang Chao who play with their brains can dominate for a long time after understanding the game well.
As for Huaping, Wang Chao's strength will continue to increase, and every increase in strength will bring about a rapid improvement in strength.
Fan Xiaodong will become more and more fierce as he gets older. In two or three years, Hook will be beaten to despair if he plays with Huaping again.
In a sense, the Hook living in the present, although it is a Hook full of contradictions and fallacies, is actually the best Hook.
In this case, it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective thing to send him to Jiangcheng University Team and help Luo Jiu win the Table Tennis Super League championship.
If Hook can win the personal MVP of the year while Table Tennis Super League wins the championship, then his trip to China Table Tennis Team will be the greatest achievement.
Whether it succeeds or not depends on his own destiny.
