At the same time, another coach appeared on the scene. He was Wang Shou, the younger brother of Wang Lu.
Wang Chao and Xiao Fei took the initiative to say hello to him, which could be said to have given him enough face. This face was not entirely for his brother's sake, but was something he had worked hard for over the years.
Wang Shou's career over the years has been full of ups and downs. First, he guarded Zhu Ding in Poseidon Club for many years and helped his brother Wang Lu gain the friendship of wealthy families. Then Zhu Ding left Poseidon Club, and he also resigned simultaneously, planning to join Table Tennis Super League trained for a year. At this time, Table Tennis Super League team Imperial Capital New City Club was demoted. The original head coach Ji Qingsong resigned in shame. He once again followed his brother's advice and joined Imperial Capital New City, gave up joining Table Tennis Super League, and still became a Table Tennis First Division coach.
The following year, Imperial Capital New City killed everyone in Table Tennis First Division. It was even stronger than Poseidon Club in the past. It finally ended the whole season with a complete victory and successfully won the Table Tennis First Division championship.
As a result, Wang Shou gained a great reputation in Table Tennis First Division and was known as the only supreme coach of Table Tennis First Division. He led Imperial Capital New City to successfully advance in the professional league promotion and relegation match at the end of the year and returned to Table Tennis Super League.
Although the biggest contributors to Imperial Capital New City's promotion are the two fierce players Lin Zijun and Liang Kunpeng, it has to be said that Wang Shou's team leadership ability has been unanimously praised by the industry. Every team he is in has a good atmosphere and competitive atmosphere.
More importantly, he is very good at teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, adapting to circumstances, not being stubborn, not rigid, not insisting on his own way, and very able to listen to the opinions of young players. Although he cannot help players achieve a qualitative leap, he has a lot of practical experience in stabilizing the player's style and adjusting the player's condition.
A practical coach like him who was trained in the first line of professional leagues is a talent that Huaping needs very much. So this year, he finally got his wish and entered Huaping and became a colleague of Sun Tianlong and Xiao Fei.
But don't think that he is on the same starting line as other new coaches. In fact, he has already established many connections in Huaping.
On the surface, he is Wang Lu's younger brother, a proper backbone of the Wang Clan.
In terms of personal relationships, he and Zhu Ding have been fighting side by side for six years, so they naturally gain the favor of wealthy families.
Last year, he was in charge of Imperial Capital New City and had a good relationship with Liang Kunpeng. Especially Liang Kunpeng was once severely disgusted by his former coach Ji Qingsong. Yes, comparing the two cars, Liang Kunpeng only thinks that Wang Shou is too considerate. In his mind, his favorability is hardly lower than that of his national team teacher Chen Taolue.
You see, this involves another coach Chen Taolue.
After all, Chen Taolue is an old man from Huaping, and his disciple Liang Kunpeng has also made great progress in recent years. He is slightly more qualified than Wang Shou and has made a slightly greater contribution, but he suffers from the lack of a backer. So overall, the two people are barely equal in status. Through the bond of Liang Kunpeng, they can naturally form a relationship of mutual help, without any conflict of interest.
What's more, Wang Shou himself also has capital. Half a year ago, the coaches divided up the five young talents, and Wang Clan became the biggest winner. Wang Lu helped him accept two disciples, He Peng Lin Dong, in advance. Both of them may grow into World Champion's seedlings in the future.
Let's talk about Wang Chao Xiao Fei and Wang Shou's brief greetings. On the other side, the battle between Coach Cheng Aimin and Chen Taolue has already decided the winner. The 15-year-old boy named Liu Shuo finally chose Coach Cheng Aimin to be his teacher.
Liu Shuo was selected by Xiangnan Province. He was still young and simple-minded. Of course he didn't know how to choose. The one who really helped him make the choice was Xiangnan Provincial Team, the head coach Li Changzheng who was responsible for leading the team to the imperial capital.
The judgment logic of Li Changzheng is as follows:
Chen Taolue has Liang Kunpeng under his control, and Coach Cheng Aimin has Gao Mingyuan under his control. In the past year, Liang Kunpeng has gradually become the backbone of First Team and has achieved good results in the world competition. However, Gao Mingyuan, a competitor of the same age as Liang Kunpeng, is much inferior.
Considering that the rising star Fan Xiaodong has officially risen, and Lu Feiyang and Sun Zhongwen, who are also 16 years old, are also chasing after them fiercely, then Gao Mingyuan, who is 21 years old this year, may have a hard time getting ahead in the future. It is very likely that he will become a sacrificed generation like Fang Xiaobo and Yan Ping'an.
In this case, Liu Shuo should of course choose Coach Cheng Aimin, because Coach Cheng Aimin currently has no trump card. As long as Liu Shuo performs well enough, Coach Cheng Aimin will They will place most of their expectations on him, but Chen Taolue cannot give up on Liang Kunpeng no matter what. If Liu Shuo passes by, he will definitely compete with Liang Kunpeng for favor.
Of course, the old foxes considered the matter very carefully, and Li Changzheng did not miss an inconspicuous piece of news: Coach Cheng Aimin accepted a new disciple named Jiang Shan half a year ago.
But the problem is that there was no news about this Jiang Shan player in the second half of last year. This proves that Coach Cheng Aimin probably made a mistake and accepted a mediocre person. Jiang Shan should not pose a threat to Liu Shuo.
The three Wang Chao said goodbye to Wang Shou and went to have lunch together. Then they returned to the venue and waited for a while before the selection continued in the afternoon.
There were even more coaches observing in the venue in the afternoon. Not only the key players such as Zhu Zeshi Wang Lu appeared one after another, but even the head coach showed up, causing a lot of noise and allowing the media to take many more photos.
Wang Chao however knew very well that this was basically a show, just to give the outside world an attitude and prove that Huaping attached great importance to this selection.
But in fact, Old Cai's attitude towards this promotion and relegation assessment should be relatively dismissive.
Why?
Because the current situation within Huaping is completely different from last year. Now Huaping already has a surplus of talents.
In previous years, Huaping basically changed dynasties every six or seven years. This length interval is very reasonable. For example, Wang Wendong is exactly seven years older than Sun Tianlong, and Zhu Lingling, the youngest among the top three female table tennis players, is also exactly seven years older than Shen Sha.
But now, Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu are only four years apart, and Luo Jiu and Wang Chao are nine years apart, but Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong are only three years apart, and Fan Xiaodong and Wang Qin are only three years apart.
The age difference between Luo Jiu and Wang Chao does not matter, because it represents the stagnation of the Chinese table tennis team in the past seven years. These difficult years are now in the past. Although they did encounter many thrills in the process, fortunately, Sun Tianlong was there to take care of them, and they survived without any danger.
Now that Wang Chao has successfully taken over, we only need to look down based on Wang Chao's age.
From Wang Chao to Fan Xiaodong to Wang Qin and others, three generations are already a bit dense. Whether Fan Xiaodong has the ability to suppress the table tennis world, anyone who is not blind can see it. Moving on, Wang Qin Lin Dong and others have shown signs of genius in advance at a young age. It can be said that with this current team, even if there is no selection within three years, Cai Guodong is still sure that Huaping is as stable as Mount Tai.
Now that the selection is open, Cai Guodong not only hopes that our country will have an endless supply of talents, but is also very troubled by how to digest so many geniuses.
Last year's World Table Tennis Championships and Olympic Games have fully demonstrated how involution after too much talent can be damaging.
Sun Tianlong, who has the appearance of Double Grand Slam, was forced to the point of being overwhelmed by Wang Chao.
Luo Jiu, who has the appearance of Grand Slam, was forced to the point of being overwhelmed by Wang Chao.
Seeing that such peerless geniuses are unable to reach the heights they deserve under the current circumstances, although Old Cai doesn't blame Wang Chao, it still feels a little heartbreaking after all.
He knows that Fan Xiaodong will have to be suppressed by Wang Chao for many years, and he will probably be bruised and bruised, which is even better than when Wang Wendong suppressed Sun Tianlong.
And Fan Xiaodong, who was severely suppressed by Wang Chao, will probably not be merciful when he suppresses the five little ones in the future. After all, you have to suffer the same hardships I have endured, otherwise I will be hard-pressed.
In view of this, after the show, Old Cai came over and asked Wang Chao quietly, "How do you feel after watching it for a day?"
Wang Chao shook his head. "Not very good."
Cai Guodong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted Wang Chao on the shoulder, returned to his bureaucratic style, and gave high-sounding instructions. "Look carefully, choose carefully, and try to help Xiao Fei pick another good seedling."
By the time the day passed, Xiao Fei had not selected a single disciple, and the top three young players in the big cycle standings had been divided up by other coaches. However, if you pay attention, you will find that the real disciples are the relatively weak coaches in the coaching staff, and the three recognized sects of Zhumen, Wang Clan, and Qinmen have not taken a single disciple.
This is the difference in vision between coaches.
Coaches with good vision look at the future potential and upper limit of their students, and they would rather lack than overdo it, while coaches with poor vision are more likely to be confused by the current strength of players.
On the second day of selection, Wang Chao and Xiao Fei simply didn't come and gave up completely.
"You should train Wang Qin well. When the time comes, one will be as good as the other two." Wang Chao ate Xiao Fei's feast, but could not help, so he could only comfort him like this.
So another day passed and the selection for promotion and relegation was completed. Wang Chao returned to the base that night, only to be approached by Jiang Shan anxiously.
"My master has accepted another apprentice, and I heard he is very powerful." Jiang Shan said with a sad face, "I know that every move you make is being watched by people, so I haven't dared to come to you since I joined the team last year, for fear of being gossiped about, but now I can't stand it anymore, I feel like I'm going to be abandoned, Brother Chao, help me."
Wang Chao asked him, "Can you endure hardship?"
Jiang Shan snorted, "We professional athletes can't endure hardship and still get hammered."
Wang Chao asked again, "Are you thick-skinned?"
Jiang Shan was a little surprised and thought for a long time before saying, "It's quite thick, but in the middle of the night, you don't want to play daredevil with me, right?"
Wang Chao laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "If you don't want to be given up by Coach Cheng, just come to me at five o'clock every morning. I will help you develop your strength first."
Jiang Shan was a little hesitant, because at this age he is the time to sleep, and getting up at around seven o'clock every morning feels like death, and now it is two hours earlier...
But he still gritted his teeth and agreed, because he also knew that his career had reached the most critical moment.
So in the early morning of the next morning, on the top of the mountain behind the base, in addition to Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan, there was another Jiang Shan. The three of them transformed into various beasts, howling like ghosts and wolves on the top of the mountain, making various weird movements, and began to practice in the rising morning glow.
After practicing for two hours on the first day, Jiang Shan only felt pain everywhere in his body. This is because Tang Yuanyuan's family-inherited exercise does have its own peculiarities. It may not really be able to produce strange strength, but because it has all kinds of weird animal-like movements, it can indeed exercise those unpopular muscle groups that humans rarely exercise. In a sense, it is equivalent to forming a good "leak-filling" effect on the basis of regular exercise.
Jiang Shan usually can't go to those places when practicing. The first time he practiced, it was naturally the same as Wang Chao. The pain was severe.
But Wang Chao is very satisfied, because he feels that the more painful Jiang Shan is, the more worth looking forward to the effect.
In fact, it was only at the end of last year that Wang Chao really understood some of the deeper truths about this set of exercises.
Wang Chao's unreasonable surge in hard skills such as strength and speed in the second half of last year gave people the illusion that they had broken the inherent limitations of the human body. Although this was due to Unrivaled talent's cheating and the various expensive medicinal materials that He Jingping spent a lot of money to buy for him, it was also due to the skill itself.
You must know that everything in the world is influenced by the whole body, and there is never an independent principle. Wang Chao trains seemingly useless muscle groups, but after the exercise of these parts is completed, these muscle groups may not have a positive promoting effect on other muscle groups directly related to playing basketball.
Simply put, when your arm muscles have been exercised to the limit and can no longer be improved, you can also exercise the muscles in the shoulders, neck, back and other places related to the arm muscles. Maybe the power that your arms can exert will be improved?
Tang Yuanyuan This is the meaning of this set of exercises. It is equivalent to helping you break through the upper limit a little bit on the premise that regular exercise reaches the upper limit of the human body.
Wang Chao didn't expect this level at first. It was during the period after World Table Tennis Championships and before Olympic Games that he found that his progress speed was abnormal and too fast. This forced him to analyze it carefully and find the root cause from scratch. Only in this way did he vaguely realize the real beauty of this exercise method.
Competitive sports are very delicate and balanced confrontation projects. Sometimes this little upper limit can determine the outcome of a game.
In Wang Chao's view, although Jiang Shan's talent is good, it is indeed not outstanding in the national team. He also has a good mind, but he is not outstanding in the national team either.
Therefore, Jiang Shan takes a comprehensive, smart and moderate approach.
The advantage of this path is that the lower limit is very high, but the disadvantage is that the upper limit is not high.
Wang Chao is not a god. No matter how much he helps Jiang Shan in purely technical aspects, at best he can only make Jiang Shan's strength reach the passing line of First Team, or gain a firm foothold in Table Tennis Super League in the future. But obviously, for the current predicament Jiang Shan is facing, just doing this is not enough.
Because the disciple named Liu Shuo that coach Coach Cheng Aimin just accepted, although his talent is slightly weaker than that of the five little ones, is actually stronger than Jiang Shan.
So Wang Chao can only help Jiang Shan increase the upper limit.
That is strength, speed, and explosive power.
Don't say this is unfair to Liu Shuo. There are not so many things that are absolutely fair in this world.
Wang Chao is not a saint. He and Jiang Shan established a friendship in their early days. Throughout Jiangcheng City Team, Jiang Shan was the first friend to express goodwill to him. He naturally chose to help Jiang Shan unconditionally.
What's more, Liu Shuo is just a seedling with "fairly talented talent", and it is far from being as shocking as Fan Xiaodong. In a place like China with a huge table tennis population, it is really true that one more person is not more, and one person less is not more.
