Wang Chao took the manuscript to He Jingping and asked about the specific situation of Qin Huachang. This time, He Jingping did not hide it from him.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just stomach cancer, early stage." He Jingping sighed, "Old Qin's living habits have always been bad. Ever since I met him, he likes to eat fried, fried, pickled, and grilled food. Do you still remember what he was doing when he first met you last year?"
Wang Chao certainly remembers that Old Qin seemed to be in good physical condition at the time. He was eating stinky tofu while criticizing Pisces, which once made Wang Chao dumbfounded and amazed.
"Actually, he smoked a lot, at least one pack a day, for decades. Fortunately, after the examination, it was found that his lungs were only seriously polluted and had no disease. It was a blessing in misfortune."
He Jingping said that he also wanted to smoke, but seemed to remember the ending of Old Qin, so he put the cigarette he took out back into the box. "I didn't know that this happened to him before, until he couldn't hold it anymore in Sweden, and temporarily asked me to help guide Fan Xiaodong. I hurried back to China, and then I realized that something was wrong, called the head coach and asked about this matter."
Wang Chao was silent.
It is said that a survey by the World Health Organization shows that China has one of the highest cancer prevalence rates. This is related to the eating habits and living habits of the Chinese people. Therefore, if you get older and have poor living habits, it is indeed common to get cancer.
As for Qin Huachang, he is dark and thin. When Wang Chao first met him, he felt that he must be unhealthy. Now it is reasonable to have an accident.
In this way, there is a definite reason for what Qin Huachang did in March.
It can be imagined that Qin Huachang spent so much effort to finally accept Fan Xiaodong, and trained with full hope for several months. He must be very ambitious and ambitious, and wants to be in the future. In the next ten years, he brought out another Grand Slam and became famous in the coaching world. But suddenly, as a bolt from the blue, he got cancer. The emotional suffering he must have experienced at that moment was beyond the imagination of outsiders.
And after that, he could still remain calm on the surface, and even only told Cai Guodong the news secretly, which shows how strong he is and how deep his obsession with Fan Xiaodong is.
He has only become a little more extreme in his behavior, but he is actually quite self-controlled.
He really ran out of time. If he wanted to see Fan Xiaodong achieve results as soon as possible, he could only do something quick and quick.
"His disease was discovered early, the problem was not serious, and the operation was successful. The survival rate in the next ten years is as high as 95%. But he can't work too hard in the future. But in our Huaping, being a coach is a hard and hard job, so even if Old Qin still wants to do it, the head coach is determined not to keep him."
Wang Chao nodded to express understanding.
Cai Guodong is afraid too.
It would be fine if no problems were detected, but now they have been detected. If Qin Huachang is allowed to continue to hold on, if Cai Guodong dies at work one day, it will be difficult for Cai Guodong to explain to the General Administration of Sports.
Why, Huaping's meritorious coach, you Cai Guodong knew that he was seriously ill, but you really tried to kill him?
He Jingping couldn't help but shake his head. "He also has a serious heart disease, and he is born with a hard-working temperament. Every time he watches a game, he is shocked. So, not only will he not be able to continue to be a coach in the future, he will not even be able to watch the live broadcast of the game. Otherwise, if the game is too intense and something happens in the middle, that person will really be gone."
The implication is that it is precisely because Qin Huachang may not even dare to watch Fan Xiaodong's games from now on that he so desperately hopes that Fan Xiaodong will defeat Wang Chao in Swedish Open, helping him fulfill his wish first.
Wang Chao smiled and said, "Teacher, you don't have to explain it to him. I don't have any objections to Coach Qin myself. I really want to know, what will Fan Xiaodong do in the future?"
Speaking of this, He Jingping finally smiled, "Old Qin is a petty person. In the end, he refused to let me carry it for him, saying that he was afraid that I would pick his peaches... His plan is to temporarily let Sun Tianlong will take it with him. After Sun Tianlong retires next year, he will directly transform into a coach and officially take over Fan Xiaodong. From now on, it can be regarded as internal digestion among the Qinmen disciples."
Wang Chao could only sigh with a wry smile, so when it comes to human beings, it is Jiang Shan that it is easy to change one's nature but hard to change it. Even at this point, Qin Huachang still arranges his backup plan to be flawless and refuses to take any losses, just like he has done in the past few decades.
It is conceivable that with Sun Tianlong as his disciple as Fan Xiaodong, his coaching journey will be smooth sailing and he will not have to worry about his grades.
The next two days were uneventful for Chinese Table Tennis base, and nothing happened except that Sun Tianlong returned to the base again.
But Wang Chao could guess that since Sun Tianlong is back, Qin Huachang must also be discharged from the hospital.
He left the imperial capital quietly, perhaps returning to his hometown. In the coming years, he will spend the rest of his life with a different leisurely attitude that is completely different from that of the Huaping coach.
Qin Huachang retired quietly, without even any farewell ceremony. Except for Qin Huachang's two major disciples, Sun Tianlong and Lin Li, no one else knew that he was no longer there. They continued to train as usual, work and rest as usual, fight openly and secretly as usual, and watch the sun rise and set as usual.
Perhaps it won't be until the provincial team selection at the beginning of next year that everyone will suddenly realize that Qin Huachang has not shown up for a long time.
This is the meaning of Cai Guodong, and also the meaning of Qin Huachang himself.
Two days later, the dust finally settled on the women's team, and Wang Chao's official partner was selected.
The result is reasonable, but absolutely unexpected.
The one who finally broke out of the siege was Tang Yuanyuan.
Monstrous Strength Girl, who was once no one optimistic about, started to go crazy from Swedish Open, winning the gold medal first, and after returning to China, she directly won the second place in the first internal cycle. So far, she got the best overall result. However, she was not what Wang Wendong wanted, so Wang Wendong forcibly restarted the second round of the cycle.
Wang Wendong still hopes that Wang Yu or Shen Sha can break into the top three. He does not seek first place, but only seeks the top three. He can forcefully recruit troops with the power of the head coach.
However, no one expected that Tang Yuanyuan actually performed even more exaggeratedly in the second round of the internal cycle. Not only did it defeat Wang Yu and Shen Sha, but it also won the first place in the internal assessment.
As a result, she holds an open gold medal and ranks first and second in two assessments respectively. It can be said that she is the best, without even a competitor. Even if Wang Wendong is reluctant, she can't find any reason, otherwise, coach Ge Miao is not a vegetarian.
It was only then that Zhu Zeshi officially expressed its voice on behalf of the Zhumen.
In fact, he was still very vague. He just said, "It is only fair to use actual results as a reference."
Wang Wendong was unwilling to give in and replied weakly, "The height difference between them is too big to match."
But Zhu Zeshi stopped talking after that. Quan pretended that he didn't hear this sentence and never stated his point of view clearly.
This is also in line with what Wang Chao said about Zhu Zeshi in front of He Jingping: Although he can speak freely, he always likes to be moderate. He is afraid of offending people and losing connections, but he does not understand that strength is the key to everything.
Not to mention whether Old Zhu's behavior is good or not, at least this time, Wang Wendong really failed to hold on.
Even if Old Zhu didn't end the debate, he couldn't withstand Ge Miao's relentless pursuit, because he was really completely unreasonable.
So in the end, the Olympic mixed doubles seed player, Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan, will enter the formal training of mixed doubles in the next six months with a determined attitude of "must win".
To this end, the coaching staff held an unprecedented general meeting of all men's team coaches and women's team coaches. Based on Qin Huachang's manuscript, they brainstormed, studied and discussed, and found and filled gaps, hoping to fundamentally formulate the overall technical structure framework and guiding philosophy of mixed doubles.
At the same time, Xiao Fei, the main player of the current World Ranking Second men's team, and Liu Wen, the main player of the current World Ranking Second women's team, were also officially recruited to form a veteran partner and temporarily serve as sparring partners for Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan.
Just looking at the level of this sparring partner, it can be seen that Huaping has really exerted its strength this time.
However this is not enough.
Then Cai Guodong directly named them, and two more teams were formed, namely Lu Feiyang and Shen Sha, Gao Mingyuan and Wang Yu. They will serve as alternative partners and train with the main partners, and will accompany Wang Chao and others to participate in the subsequent open competitions.
This is an escort. Once the main partner fails to live up to expectations, the backup partner can come on as a substitute at any time.
Of course, the importance and training intensity of the alternative partner and the main partner are completely different.
On the women's team, Shen Sha and Wang Yu are both the best rising stars. Before the rise of Tang Yuanyuan, they already had the faint flavor of a new generation of twin stars. Although they accompanied them to practice mixed doubles, their focus was still on Women's Singles because they wanted to impact the top three position and seize the class power.
Similarly, Lu Feiyang and Gao Mingyuan will also focus on Men's Singles. They do not expect to win the rights of Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu, but they at least want to enter the main match and go through a few more rounds, not to mention that there is Fan Xiaodong who is their direct competitor.
Only Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan will pounce on Mixed Doubles without any reservations with a resolute attitude at all costs.
They received clear notification from the coaching staff.
Please note that this is notification, not consultation.
"Until our mixed doubles players have a clear overwhelming advantage over non-Chinese associations, they are not allowed to participate in any singles events in the World Series."
This notification is subtle.
It illustrates at least two things.
First, starting from today, Wang Chao will no longer be able to play against Men's Singles in the Open.
Second, starting from today, all subsequent open matches will include mixed doubles events.
Yes, because International Table Tennis Federation has officially modified the competition rules in late April after the announcement at the beginning of the year. Starting from May, all open competitions must add mixed doubles events.
In the past, ordinary websites usually only had two items: Men's Singles and Women's Singles. Platinum leg was Men's Singles Women's Singles plus Men's Doubles Women's Doubles.
Now, on the premise that the ordinary station must have Men's Singles Women's Singles, there must also be mixed doubles.
On the premise that Platinum leg must have Men's Singles Women's Singles, Men's Doubles Women's Doubles is optional, but mixed doubles must have it.
Suddenly, Mixed Doubles came from behind and climbed to a more important position than Men's Doubles and Women's Doubles.
Therefore, Qatar Open Platinum leg in May must be the most crucial event after the restructuring, because all non-Chinese associations are already gearing up and recalling their ace players, hoping to break out of the siege on the new mixed doubles track and break through Huaping's iron barrel Jiang Shan.
In the following days, a lot of news worthy of attention came from domestic and international countries.
Bay Island Table Tennis Association urgently summons Imperial Capital New City Team second singles Lin Zijun to return, planning to form a team with Bay Island, the first sister of the women's team, Zhen Jing, focusing on the mixed doubles.
It is said that the boss behind Imperial Capital New City Team was very dissatisfied and wanted to file a lawsuit with them, but the Bay Island Table Tennis Association was a rare act of generosity and directly paid a large amount of money as compensation for Lin Zijun's absence from the game.
Hong Kong Table Tennis Association announced to the public that Weng Chunting, the first brother of the men's team, and Ai Qin, the first sister of the women's team, formed a mixed doubles team with the goal of winning cards.
Over at Sakura Country, player Mizutori Hato, who has been praised by everyone in China recently, was interviewed by reporters and claimed that she had reached a cooperation agreement with Ichikawa Mima, the first sister of the women's team, and they will jointly compete for the mixed doubles medal of this year's Olympic Games held in Sakura Country at the end of the year.
At the same time, the naturalized young player Zhang Benkuang, who has had poor results in recent years, also announced that he will enter the mixed doubles track. His partner is Yamano Mia, who is ranked second in the Sakura Country women's team.
Kimchi Country and Zhu Shixian announced that they will partner with Chinese female chipper Xu Xiaoyuan to form Double Chopper Combination and enter the mixed doubles.
As for the European side, there is no news for the time being. This is because the female team players in Europe are almost all naturalized players from China. They have a certain degree of difficulty in teaming up with European male players. It will take longer to try and there is no way to confirm the cooperation immediately.
But there is no doubt that there will be a strong combination in Europe, it is just a matter of time.
It was also in this noise that Wang Chao received news from Hook. Hook told Wang Chao that he had basically settled all the affairs and successfully convinced his agent and sponsors. He would only wait for the contract with the German club to expire and he could come to Table Tennis Super League to play in the second half of the year.
In fact, this process is far simpler than Hook imagined.
When he vaguely revealed this meaning to people around him, both his agents and sponsors reacted with joy, because in fact, the world table tennis world itself has been speculating on one thing in the past few years: Which foreign player can win the title of MVP Player of the Year in China Super League.
The gold content of this title is enough to be compared with the Olympic gold medal in the eyes of the world table tennis world.
After all, Huaguo Table Tennis Super League is recognized as the highest level professional league in the world table tennis world. Winning MVP here is equivalent to becoming a god.
Countless people have tried Table Tennis Super League, including Bayer from Germany, Weng Chunting from Minato, Ochomirov from Belarus, Zhu Shixian from Kimchi Country, Michel from Sweden, etc., but in the end they all failed.
So when Hook came out, countless foreign fans were looking forward to him trying Table Tennis Super League. This mentality was like wanting to see Hook play a hell-level copy.
It is normal to not be able to defeat him. If he is able to get through, he will leave his name in history.
It can be said that when Hook comes to fight Table Tennis Super League, there is absolutely no shortage of sponsorship. Foreign media may even follow him directly and conduct long-term follow-up reports on him.
Although Table Tennis Super League's income is not as high as that of the German club league, a pure athlete like Hook needs fame and victory, not money.
He asked Wang Chao which team he should join.
Wang Chao told him clearly, Jiangcheng University Team.
Hook asked back, why not Liaoning Province Zhonggang with Sun Tianlong, or Table Tennis Super League's two strongest teams, Imperial Capital Panlong and Magic City Fire Phoenix?
It can be seen from this question that although Hook was tempted by Wang Chao, he was actually not blind and even did a special investigation after returning home.
After all, he is just simple-minded, but he is not stupid. Anyone who can hit the ball to this level by self-thinking, who is not a highly intelligent person?
Wang Chao answered him, "Because when you go to those teams, only one person can play with you, but when you come to Jiangcheng City, there are two people who can play with you."
The two people he mentioned were Luo Jiu and himself.
Wang Chao added, "And the only person in the world who can really help you solve your problem is my teacher He Jingping. His two disciples happen to be at Jiangcheng City. Think about it, if you want to have more contact with the teacher, what better place than Jiangcheng City?"
Hook was convinced and said, "Then please give me the contact information of Jiangcheng University Club."
(I worked hard. I asked for a monthly pass for 12k in the third update, and double the monthly pass at the end of the month. If you have a ticket, don't forget to give it to me. You can't save this thing, it will be invalid after it expires.)
