In fact, Wang Chao knew everything about Luo Jiu, and he was even the instigator.
This is how it started.
Luo Jiu and Wang Chao are going to participate in Olympic Games. Domestic Table Tennis Super League is temporarily suspended, so everyone in Spade Q is free.
In fact, other Table Tennis Super League teams will conduct special training during this suspension period, but the situation of Spade Q is too special. First of all, the team players Geng Shuai, Gao Ming, Lu Jia, Tian Zhengguang and others have all become dead wood that cannot be carved. They have limited abilities and lack of talent. All their training is in vain. What's next?, the only one who has a chance to improve is Wu Li. However, Wu Li's sparring partners happen to be Wang Chao Luo Jiu Hook. Now they all go to Mexico City. If a player with special Hundred Refinements talent like him cannot find a strong sparring partner, it is better not to practice at all.
Even the chipper Hou Xijia, whom Fan Xiaofan's boss paid to hire as a sparring partner, was busy with his live broadcasting career during the Olympics, so how could he find time?
So Wang Chao directly came up with an idea. "Sister Xian, you are idle anyway, and you are not short of money. Why don't you go to Mexico with us? Don't you want to see my senior brother's playing style live?"
Fan Xiaoxian was moved as soon as he heard it.
After so many years of brewing, the relationship between her and Luo Jiu, although a little less impulsive and blind than when they were young, has become stronger than before because they have been together less and apart more often. In the past seven years, because the last layer of window paper has not been broken, everyone has expressed He was quite restrained, but since Luo Jiu braved the door of Lao Fan's house and became Fan Xiaoxian's legitimate fiancé, it was like dry wood meeting a fierce fire. He could no longer restrain himself. Now the two of them are really inseparable and don't want to separate for a moment.
So when everyone from Huaping boarded the plane to Mexico City, Fan Xiaoxian also boarded another international flight two hours later with a large number of people.
When the Huaping people officially settled in Olympic Village, the small group of troops led by Fan Xiaoxian also found a place with a good environment to live outside Mexico City Olympic Village.
He Jingping knew this very well, because Luo Jiu had no intention of hiding it from his master.
But when Luo Jiu asked He Jingping for leave for the first time, He Jingping was actually very hesitant because he had never encountered such a thing before and was really afraid that it would affect Luo Jiu's game status.
After all, this thing is like puppy love in school days. No one dares to say whether it is good or bad. But if we want to make a big data statistics, then there is a high probability that the bad things are greater than the good things.
So He Jingping turned directly to Wang Chao.
Yes, you read that right. The 27-year-old Luo Jiu asked for leave from the 47-year-old He Jingping. As a result, the 47-year-old He Jingping went directly to the 18-year-old Wang Chao for advice. This is the strange current situation of the powerful Chinese table tennis family.
Wang Chao himself was one of the instigators. When He Jingping asked, of course he gave an affirmative answer, "Senior brother, promise, this is a good thing, why don't you agree?"
"But... what if Xiaojiu is obsessed with love and affects the game..."
"Teacher, you have mistaken the relationship between cause and effect." Wang Chao explained, "My senior brother World Table Tennis Championships wanted to give up completely. It was because he went to Lao Fan's house and was fed a large bowl of chicken soup by Sister Xian's parents that he rekindled his fighting spirit. He now wants to win the gold medal, which is no longer what he used to do. Just for his own honor, he is holding his breath now. He must show his abilities to the elders of the old Fan family, and also give Sister Xian a smile to prove that he is worthy of Sister Xian... In this case, do you still need to supervise him? He is like a chicken. If you don't let him train, he will probably be in a hurry with you."
This makes sense, but He Jingping still has some doubts. After all, he also had a time when he was young, and he knows how easily the love between men and women can go to the head. At that time, it will no longer be restrained by reason, so he said, "Can you give me one more reason?"
So Wang Chao said, "Okay, let me tell you the truth. There are a lot of people over there at Sister Xian. Not only did my mother and Uncle Zhuzi come with us, but also Wu Li."
Only then did He Jingping realize the depth of Wang Chao's involvement in this matter. He glared and said, "What do you guys want to do?"
"Isn't this for show?" Wang Chao said with a smile, "My mother and the two of them just came here to watch the fun, just to support me, and Sister Xian happened to be coming too, I asked Sister Xian to take care of them and get free food and accommodation... As for Wu Li, of course he came here specially to give my senior brother special training before the game."
He Jingping was stunned, and without saying another word, he turned around and left the room, approved Luo Jiu's leave application form, and simply wrote a bunch of leave application forms in front of Luo Jiu, signed them all and threw them to Luo Jiu: "Take it. If you want to ask for leave in the future, you can just take one out and fill in your name, so as not to violate the rules."
He Jingping is such a person. Sometimes he does things without thinking and even a little weird, but he is sincerely good to his disciples. After being persuaded by Wang Chao, he gave Luo Jiu all-round trust and shouldered all the pressure from other people on the coaching staff.
As we all know, Chinese athletes have always been the most disciplined among all countries in the world when they go abroad to participate in Olympic Games. There are very clear regulations for the entry and exit of Olympic Village and even the entry and exit of their own small camps., if you are not careful, you will commit a foul. He Jingping wrote so many notes to Luo Jiu. In fact, it is not Cai Guodong that really has to deal with it, but the leaders of the Chinese Sports General Administration.
He hopes to help his disciples avoid trouble as much as possible.
If there is really trouble, then because you have your own note, you can bear the responsibility yourself.
As for whether Luo Jiu was in love with Fan Xiaoxian or training like crazy with Wu Li after he slipped out, Old He really doesn't know and doesn't want to know. After all, you can't ask about this. If you ask, it's prohibited content and will be reviewed.
The next day is December 16th, Men's Singles 16 into 8 is officially launched, and the first game is Luo Jiu vs Morad.
Fans all over the world were paying close attention to this game, and Swedish Table Tennis Association was even more desperate. When Morad came on the field, the fans who came all the way from Sweden started shouting like crazy. His voice was broken, but behind the baffle, Persson and Old Wa were sitting together, one behind the other. Michel's signature big man could still be vaguely seen in the back.
Obviously, Sweden has made it clear that it wants to gather everyone's wisdom to help Morad defeat Battle of Tianwangshan in this narrow escape.
They didn't know that Luo Jiu slipped out of the camp yesterday, so everyone's expressions were extremely serious now, because they knew Huaping's ability to prepare for competitions. In the past few decades, Huaping has always been able to adjust the athletes' condition to a near-perfect state before competitions.
How scary would a Luo Jiu in perfect condition be? They dare not even think about it.
They have studied the video of the Luo Jiu World Table Tennis Championships finals. In that state, Luo Jiu was in such a state that they could not find a flaw no matter how they targeted it. But at that time, Luo Jiu was actually fighting alone. Due to the civil war, Luo Jiu at that time did not have any off-site guidance.
But now, sitting behind Luo Jiu is He Jingping, the number one handsome man in the world today.
Even the smart plain spectacle lenses of Old Wa cannot give Swedish fans any more confidence.
The game started in such a solemn atmosphere. From the beginning, Morad put on a fighting posture.
If you don't take into account the natural flaws in the character's character, Morad can actually be regarded as almost the smartest player in the European table tennis world in the past twenty years. The only one who can compare with him is Bayer.
But have you ever wondered why he has such serious character flaws? Does this mean that God thinks that his talent in playing is too good, so he must give him some flaws?
This belongs to God who must close a window for you after opening a door. Venus's broken arm must exist.
Because he was smart enough, Morad had a very positive attitude from the beginning. He knew that he had to fight today, from beginning to end, and if he was even the slightest bit relaxed, he would never be able to turn over again.
He is not like other European players who have unrealistic expectations when facing Chinese table tennis players, hoping that Chinese table tennis players will make mistakes on the spot, or suddenly lose power, or be in poor condition.
He really, really, really played very hard and desperately, and his strategies were very correct and impeccable.
But he was still crushed by Luo Jiu 4:0 after just 35 minutes.
At this point, all Swedish men's table tennis teams have been eliminated in the Olympic Games arena. Their final singles results in this year's Olympic Games are one top 16 and one top 32.
Luo Jiu really went crazy in this game.
All of Luo Jiu's previous games felt sharp enough, fast enough, neat enough, and smooth enough. He was like an artist proficient in assassination techniques, always able to give the opponent the most precise fatal blow at the most precise moment.
But today Luo Jiu showed something else that he rarely showed before: passion.
Smart people tend to be too calm when playing. Even if they are occasionally passionate, they tend to be silent and restrained. Their eyes may be burning, and their chests may be burning with fire, but what Wang Chao presents to the outside is absolute calmness. Even if they exert all their strength, they will give people the illusion of being calm.
In the past, Luo Jiu was this kind of person. He gave everyone the same feeling. He was calm and smart, precise and fast on the court, but off the court he was lively, enthusiastic and liked to make mistakes. He was a funny guy.
But in this game Luo Jiu actually played with great enthusiasm. He attacked fiercely all over the court. Morad fought, and he fought in the opposite direction. Morad charged, and he charged at the same time. Morad fought and roared, and he was so angry that he fought and roared, hoarse.
If you cover your face, he doesn't look like Luo Jiu, but more like the passionate Brother Geng.
Wang Chao even has the illusion that if Zhang Benkuang is fighting against Luo Jiu at this time, will Luo Jiu directly shout Zhang Benkuang, who has the talent of prestige, into silence?
This game was not easy for Luo Jiu. After the game, he was dripping with sweat. In fact, if he played calmly, he would not be so tired.
But this does not mean that Luo Jiu won this game not beautifully.
On the contrary, it was extremely beautiful, simply better than any of his previous games.
His performance throughout the game was extremely stable. Even in head-to-head counterattacks and hitting so many Unreasonable Shots, his success rate did not decline and remained at a very high level.
Others may not be able to see it, but from Wang Chao's perspective, it is natural to see that Luo Jiu's batting speed, moving speed, batting strength, and running range today are actually slightly higher than those of World Table Tennis Championships's final two months ago.
These data cannot deceive people. This clearly shows that Luo Jiu has become stronger than before.
It may sound a bit silly, but this is indeed the power of love.
The 27-year-old Luo Jiu has already fallen into one bottleneck after another. When he is sitting on the ceiling, any small progress becomes as difficult as reaching the sky. At this time, only the power of love makes him so passionate, allowing him to go against his past nature, shout loudly where he shouldn't shout, take action when he dare not take action, and hold on when he should give up.
This is what a responsible man is like. When he meets a good woman who deserves to be cherished, he will become braver and more willing to challenge any impossible task.
He Jingping clapped gently on the edge of the fence with a smile.
He was very pleased that his eldest apprentice did not live up to his expectations. Although he made himself bear a lot of responsibilities and was worried for many days, he did not slack off and did not indulge in love prematurely. Instead, he successfully found the correct way to use love.
So He Jingping turned around to find the location of Cai Guodong, and after finding it, he laughed, just like the conversation between the two in the training hall yesterday.
Old Cai gave him a dumbfounded glare, but finally felt relieved.
Although Old He's disciples are always weird, Cai Guodong is still willing to give Old He enough freedom as long as the disciples don't let go.
Let's get back to the game.
In fact, this game has a very clear symbolic meaning for Luo Jiu. If Luo Jiu after World Table Tennis Championships has fallen behind in the three-person competition, then this game at this time The big victory is proof that Luo Jiu has returned. He is telling Wang Chao and Sun Tianlong with practical actions: It's not over yet, I have found my true way to be invincible.
In the past, I only had calm skills and brains, but now I have unparalleled fighting spirit and passion. What can you do to win against me?
But today's surprises are not over yet.
Because after an hour and a half, Sun Tianlong came on the stage. His opponent was Sakura Country, the absolute main force Zhang Benkuang, who had just defeated the Swedish brother Michel in a super upset yesterday.
Before yesterday, no one dared to compare Zhang Benkuang with Sun Tianlong. Even though Zhang Benkuang's performance since debut was not bad, compared with Sun Tianlong, it was really like fluorescence competing with the bright moon.
But after Zhang Benkuang defeated Michel head-on, everything changed.
Today's Zhang Benkuang is indeed qualified to stand in front of Sun Tianlong. This does not mean that he can win, but that he is already qualified to be educated by Sun Tianlong.
Yes, everyone thinks so.
If the game ends at 4:0, no one will be surprised. Everyone just thinks that Zhang Benkuang should be able to create certain difficulties for Sun Tianlong.
After all, from an objective perspective, Sun Tianlong still has many flaws.
He does not have Extreme Speed Talent, and his speed is not as good as Zhang Benkuang.
His playing style is more traditional, and his backhand has no kill, which is not as explosive as Zhang Benkuang's backhand.
As he is getting older, his reflexes will definitely decline no matter what, and he can only rely on experience to make up for it. When encountering a ball that is too fast, his on-the-spot reaction should not be as good as Zhang Benkuang.
Well, of course, the above are just theoretical weaknesses.
Over the past many years, everyone has summarized numerous shortcomings of Sun Tianlong, and they all sound reasonable. According to the video analysis, it can be confirmed that Sun Tianlong does have these shortcomings, but when it comes to fighting, no matter how good you think, you will always lose in the end, and after repeatedly studying the video, you will always clearly find the crux and know where you lost.
It can be said that Sun Tianlong is the most "reasonable" person among professional players in the world.
His reasoning is that you can always clearly see how he defeats you, instead of unreasonably relying on strength to suppress you like Hook or Lin Li, or like Lin Zijun and Lin Li Like Gao Mingyuan, it relies on speed to suppress you, and unlike Zhu Ding, it will not play some weird shots that no one knows where the key points are, or hit some shots that Unreasonable Shot cannot analyze with you.
Sun Tianlong is a master of technical skills. Every move is clear. You think you can understand every game and can break them. But when you really face him, you will find that you are always one step behind, and he just restrains him.
So in essence, Sun Tianlong is a master of the game. The essence of the game is that everyone has the same cards. I am not better than you, but I can always have a better sequence and timing of playing cards than you, so I can always win.
This is not just wisdom or experience, but the embodiment of comprehensive abilities in wisdom, experience, intuition, calculation and other aspects.
In short, everyone thought that Sun Tianlong would defeat Zhang Benkuang the old way.
But Sun Tianlong is like Luo Jiu today, he is crazy.
From the first game, Sun Tianlong fought directly.
No one could imagine how terrifying it would be for a god-level figure like Sun Tianlong to fight.
In fact, in March, Sun Tianlong took the initiative to fight with Wang Chao, and the world had seen his fighting skills in the first game. Even Wang Chao was fooled at that time. It was then that Wang Chao realized that it turned out that Sun Tianlong was very, very good at fighting. He rarely fought because of his old age, in order to preserve his physical strength and reduce injuries.
At the same time, it is also because when Sun Tianlong is not fighting, the winning rate is actually higher.
This is actually a very scary thing.
For example, for an ordinary professional player, his success rate in regular hitting is 80%, but his success rate in fighting is only 40%, so he gives up fighting. This is reasonable, right?
But another professional player has a success rate of 99% in regular hitting and a success rate of 96% in fighting. So, do you think he should fight or not?
What happened to Sun Tianlong was actually the latter.
So at that time Wang Chao knew that Sun Tianlong was really a table tennis god. The only thing that restricted him was his old body and injuries.
But Sun Tianlong actually started fighting today when he could not fight. What does this mean?
Wang Chao At this moment, I felt my scalp was numb, and I jumped up from the chair, a little scared.
He realized what Sun Tianlong wanted to tell the world.
"I'm back in my prime."
"Yes, I'm in great shape. Even if I can't keep playing like this, I'll still be fine until the Olympic Games singles match games are over."
"After all, we are now 8 out of 16, and I only need to play three games at most next time."
"With this one at the moment, these are the last four games of my career."
"I will use these four games to play the most perfect state in my heyday, and let you see with your own eyes what a transcendent existence I, Sun Tianlong, am!"
Sun Tianlong has always been modest and reserved. He doesn't talk big, get angry, or be arrogant. Even when he jokes, he is gentle. But how can a person like him not have arrogance in his heart?
He wants to tell the world with practical actions today that no matter how the situation changes, no matter how many super geniuses emerge, no matter how you super evolve over and over again, the most you can do is sit on the ceiling and talk loudly, while I have already kicked the ceiling open, revealing the stars hidden behind it!
"I rested for more than half a year, and I really rested well."
"Now, it's my time to be invincible."
