When Che Songxin and Xian Youwen stood on the podium and looked up to see the Jindalehua flag rising, they were very excited because they were bullied miserably by Tang Dynasty Combination last year and now they finally After getting the gold medal as they wished, they felt that they were very lucky. They happened to encounter a gap when Tang Dynasty Combination was not competing, and they successfully bullied Tang Dynasty Combination's younger brother, which was half the revenge.
But it's enough to repay half of it. After all, I still can't do it when I meet the real owner.
Gao Mingyuan and Wang Yu were standing two levels below Kimchi Combination. Although they were looking up at the flag raising, their eyes could not help but glance at the two Daehan Minguk players, and they felt a little sour.
After all, China Table Tennis player rarely stands at a low place to look at others. He usually stands on the highest step of the podium.
However, the real winners were Lu Feiyang and Shen Sha, because they were not standing on the podium at all. Others were at least in the game, and they directly became outsiders. From this angle, when they looked up, they saw the disappointed faces of Wang Yu and Gao Mingyuan.
"You are all disappointed, so how must we feel in our hearts?" This mentality made the four young Chinese table tennis players hold hands and look at each other with tears in their eyes, and they were speechless and choked.
This battle was a huge blow to the morale of Huaping. Even Wang Wendong and Cai Guodong felt a little dizzy. When Chinese Table Tennis base returned from New Zealand, the coaches of the men's and women's teams held an emergency meeting at the same time.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Chao was not invited to attend this meeting.
The reason is also very simple: if we want to renegotiate the mixed doubles policy, how can we let a person involved be present? Let him see our jokes?
Originally, the coaches saw that Underworld Combination and Flying Sand Combination had been training for so long and were so confident that they really thought they could do it. However, when they were invited to compete in the international arena, they still couldn't do it.
Under the hands of Tang Dynasty Combination, the combination of Kimchi Combination and Sakura Country, who are like chickens and tile dogs, turned out to be such a powerful opponent?
Therefore, in fact, non-Chinese associations's mixed doubles is not weak.
In the past, I thought they were weak just because we had Tang Dynasty Combination.
"How to do mixed doubles?" Wang Wendong asked directly at the meeting, "Should we continue to give opportunities to Flying Sand Combination and Underworld Combination, or should we just give in to Wang Chao?"
Because it was an internal meeting, Lao Wang spoke very straightforwardly, without covering up at all. In his opinion, Wang Chao was obviously capable of changing partners, but refused to change partners. This in itself was arrogant based on merit. If he agreed, it would mean that the entire women's team had surrendered to Wang Chao alone.
In response to this, Ge Miao just sneered, folded his arms and leaned on the back of the chair without saying a word, feeling quite happy.
"What's the point of letting you connect, have an affair, and use all your means behind my back? Competitive sports, after all, still have to rely on strength to speak for themselves."
"You think my Yuanyuan only knows how to play mixed doubles, and I think you guys can't even play mixed doubles."
"Come on, come on, let's see what charter you can discuss. If mixed doubles is created through meetings, what else do athletes need to do?"
On the men's team side, Cai Guodong asked He Jingping helplessly, "You really can't change?"
He Jingping said with a straight face, "Can't change."
Cai Guodong asked, "Why?"
He Jingping asked, "This little girl didn't make any mistakes, why should she change?"
Cai Guodong said patiently, "She can only play mixed doubles, not singles, which is a waste of quota..."
He Jingping said, "She didn't mean it. She has worked hard, but the systems of singles and mixed doubles are different. What can I do? You think everyone is Wang Chao, can you switch freely?"
Cai Guodong said, "Shen Sha and Wang Yu can play singles and mixed doubles."
He Jingping sneered, "So, can they win the mixed doubles?"
Cai Guodong was immediately embarrassed.
Because Old He is right.
What's the point of just being someone who can do both? You have to win. If you can't win, then who cares whether you can do both?
Cai Guodong thought for a while and decided to change the angle, "The main reason is that Tang Yuanyuan's singles stretched too much on the hips. You see, this time it's another first round match. Wang Yu and Shen Sha at least have a decent mixed doubles performance on the premise that they don't stretch on the hips in singles."
He Jingping rolled his eyelids. "We, Huaping, will either win the championship or fail the mission. As for whether we are eliminated in the first round or lose in the semifinals, what difference does it make?"
Cai Guodong is embarrassed again.
Because what Old He said is still right. Huaping has been such a piss-poor for many years. He has to write a review to win a silver medal.
So Cai Guodong decided to change the angle. "The key is the issue of singles quota..."
"With one less spot, will Women's Singles not be able to win the championship?" He Jingping asked.
Cai Guodong can't answer this, because the women's team is so awesome now, even if they send a single member to compete every time, they will probably win the championship, so...
"This is really not a matter of winning the championship..." Cai Guodong sighed, "Old He, as you know, our Chinese table tennis team is full of talents. So many players have been waiting for a chance to compete in the World Series for many years. If there is one more spot, even if it is just for one player to go to the World Series to see the world, it will be a child's dream come true, so that they will not feel cold..."
However, Cai Guodong forgot that Old He is just upright, but not stupid. He is also an old man from Huaping. What's the use of playing the emotional card?
"More and more people are dismissed from Huaping every year. In every era, geniuses are wasted one after another. Head coach, how can I not understand you? Unless you are a fairy like Fan Xiaodong, others, even if they can never go to the World Series, are commonplace in your opinion, right?"
He Jingping then explained his words: "Actually, it's useless for you to convince me. You also know that Wang Chao, that kid, has his own opinions. If you want him to change his partner, you have to convince him himself."
The topic has taken a turn and is back to the original point here.
Cai Guodong had already tried to persuade Wang Chao, but Wang Chao gave him a very complicated theory, which seemed very reasonable and included a large number of technical indicators. After a head-scratching analysis, the final conclusion was that Tang Yuanyuan was irreplaceable because no one else could have her expertise.
This leads to the final conclusion: without Tang Yuanyuan, Wang Chao would not be guaranteed to win the World Series.
If this statement is put out, I am afraid that most coaches will be bluffed, because it really looks like that, and the argumentation process is even quite rigorous, but the problem is that Cai Guodong is not a free man. Although my head coach has been in charge of personnel in recent years, he personally trained Grand Slam players like Wang Wendong back then. Do you really think Cai Guodong is an amateur?
But Cai Guodong looked at Wang Chao's smiling expression and knew that Wang Chao didn't really intend to fool him, he was just expressing his attitude.
So the long nonsense just now was actually just a fig leaf to prevent everyone from talking too much and losing face.
"Either let us continue to partner, and I guarantee that there will be no problems with the mixed doubles championship, or you, old man, find someone else to play mixed doubles, and I will not accompany you." - This is the real subtext of Wang Chao.
So in a sense, what Wang Wendong said at the meeting is correct. Wang Chao is really fighting against the entire Huaping team on his own and wants to support Tang Yuanyuan.
It has to be said that even though there were no flashes of swords and swords from beginning to end, and there were no fierce conflicts, and everyone even spoke in a friendly manner with smiles, in fact, it really contained an extremely dangerous psychological game. Wang Chao traveled through it Since coming here, I have always regarded Grand Slam as my life goal and the collective interests of Huaping as my personal interests. It was only at this time that I really did something that was exactly what I wanted to do. Along with this, besides a slight sense of guilt, there was also a very satisfying and satisfying sense of indulgence.
After all, I am still a young man in this life, so I should do some youthful things and be more willful, so what does it matter?
It was precisely because he understood Wang Chao's attitude that Cai Guodong tried the water in New Zealand. He found that the water was very cold and he couldn't bear it.
At this point, the meeting was in an endless loop. The head coach announced the adjournment of the meeting and had no intention of compromising easily. He still decided to give others more opportunities.
There is a slight element of pique here. After all, he is a dignified Huaping, and he is a dignified head coach after all. Could it be possible that he was really controlled by a player?
Is it possible that without you Wang Chao, our Huaping team would really lose in the mixed doubles track?
Of course, it must be stated that so far, all the calculations and secret battles about mixed doubles are actually still in a state of struggle. Wang Chao just has differences with the coaching staff, but it does not mean that he wants to go on strike. He still insists on practicing mixed doubles with Tang Yuanyuan and is ready to play at any time. At the same time, he has not given up on singles. He still insists on any other issues other than mixed doubles. However, unconditionally obey the organization's arrangements, and this is actually an old tradition within Huaping. Over the past many years, the coaches have always been in this state of fighting without breaking up. Everyone has long learned to give up when things are going well or to compromise quickly when the situation is not good. No one does anything extraordinary when they are frustrated. The only difference now is that "coach VS coach" has become "players VS coaching staff".
So in the second month of Dubai, Cai Guodong still chose to let Underworld Combination and Flying Sand Combination try again.
Since Men's Singles of this site is in charge of Luo Jiu, Wang Chao did not participate. As for the doubles, Huaping took advantage of the situation and offered the combination of Luo Jiu+Lin Li, which is also a fixed combination that Cai Guodong is very optimistic about.
In the end, Luo Jiu won the Men's Singles championship. Luo Jiu and Lin Li lived up to expectations and won the Men's Doubles championship. Subsequently, Women's Singles once again became the champion. In the Gu field, the final was once again between Wang Yu and Shen Sha, with the tragic score of 4:3. The difference was that Wang Yu won the championship in the last stop, but this time it was Shen Sha who had the last laugh.
Facts have proved that the internal competition of the women's team may take a long, long time to determine the winner, and Wang Yu and Shen Sha, a pair of peerless twins, have officially become the strongest Women's Singles in the world table tennis world, suppressing the once-prominent Sakura Country female player Ichikawa Mima into silence.
But Ichikawa Mima don't panic, because the east is not bright and the west is bright. God closes the door and opens the window. Big Head Yichuan has mixed doubles, and the grudge of singles will be paid today.
In the mixed doubles event of Dubai station, Ichikawa Mima and Niuwa Xiaoxi eliminated Flying Sand Combination in the previous station, and this station once again eliminated Underworld Combination in the semi-finals. The score was 3:2, and the final score was 11:9. It seemed that Underworld Combination had a good chance. This also made Cai Guodong feel a little more lucky. He always felt that maybe these two pairs of mixed doubles were worth cultivating.
But then, Ichikawa Mima and Niuwa Xiaoxi, who entered the finals, were crushed by the Lin Zijun Zhen Jing combination from Bay Island 3:0. The two sides showed a huge gap in this battle.
It can be inferred from this that if it was Underworld Combination who encountered Taiwan Island Combination, perhaps the score would also be a crushing 3:0.
It is worth mentioning that Taiwan Island Combination eliminated Flying Sand Combination from Huaping 3:0 when the eight teams advanced to the fourth round.
Obviously, Taiwan Island Combination has been sublimated and made a qualitative leap.
If Taiwan Island Combination wins the championship alone, it will not make Cai Guodong despair. What really makes Cai Guodong despair is that Taiwan Island Combination wins the championship too easily.
This time Jindalai's Che Songxin and Xian Youwen didn't even come to compete. Otherwise, this is another strong dragon that must enter the semi-finals. Under their squeeze, Huaping may not even be able to squeeze into the semi-finals of mixed doubles.
After returning from Dubai, Cai Guodong was hit hard and a little nervous. He asked over and over again in an emergency internal meeting, "Why? Why is this? Why did our mixed doubles suddenly become so bad? Are Wang Yu and Shen Sha really worse than Tang Yuanyuan? I don't understand, I don't understand!"
Seeing that the head coach would become Xianglin's wife if the situation continued any longer, Zhu Zeshi, who had always "taken the overall situation into account", finally couldn't bear it and exposed the truth with one sentence. "Head coach, no matter what, the mixed doubles event must be led by male players."
The head coach who was trapped in a demonic barrier was suddenly enlightened as if he was enlightened.
I see!
Wang Yu and Shen Sha are naturally strong enough, but Lu Feiyang and Gao Mingyuan are not.
"In the mixed doubles event, the male player must be strong enough, because he is the upper limit of the combination, and he must also have brains, because his competition intensity is higher than that of the female players, so he must formulate tactics and strategies to bring out the upper limit of the combination."
This principle is easy to understand. For example, if the opponent serves a ball with strong backspin, the female player will feel that the ball can only be rolled back because of her limited strength. However, because the male player is strong enough, she knows that the ball can actually be forcibly looped. In this case, if the female player is responsible for the command, she will naturally miss many offensive opportunities.
He Jingping sighed and continued what his senior brother said, "First Team, count them down one by one. Apart from Wang Chao, who else do you think meets the conditions?"
Old He said this with a helpless emotion, but still accidentally revealed a bit of annoyance that could not be concealed.
Yes, he understands it. In terms of mixed doubles, Wang Chao is really irreplaceable.
Cai Guodong really counts down the First Team members one by one. The first is Luo Jiu. It seems to meet the requirements, but the problem is that he has no female players of the same age. Pairing, Liu Wen can barely match, but Liu Wen is now all focused on the World Cup individual competition in the second half of this year, how can he have time to play mixed doubles with him?
Below is Bai Feng, courageous and reckless.
Further down, Lin Li, is even more foolhardy.
Moving on to Fan Xiaodong, he is a good kid, he can be considered brave and resourceful, but he is too young and inexperienced to be able to control the overall situation.
Moving on, Qi Hao is another foolhardy one.
Lu Feiyang, the defeated general, don't mention it.
Liang Kunpeng, well, still brave and foolhardy.
People like Ma Angxing Gao Mingyuan Sun Zhongwen are clever but not brave.
Further down, there are a bunch of 13-year-old babies, Wang Qin, Yuan Li, Lin Dong, etc., all of them have faintly shown to be brave and handsome, but they are too young, seriously lacking in strength, and have not grown in height. It can only be said that the future is promising, but they are not used now.
So after going around a lot, Wang Chao is really the most suitable.
"Is there really no solution?" Cai Guodong asked He Jingping unwillingly.
He Jingping chuckled, "Head coach, you don't even think about it. Since Wang Chao, when has that kid ever done anything without a back-up? You look at him like a young man out for anger, but in fact... since he takes action, he must be sure of victory. Why are you angry with him?"
After saying these words, Cai Guodong actually felt a sense of enlightenment and enlightenment once again.
That's right, that little silver coin has never lost to the schemer in the past. Even Old Qin was destroyed by him. What is wrong with me now that I have been gambling with him for two months?
I'm confused!
Cai Guodong realized this, and since then the national team has never mentioned Wang Chao changing partners. Although Underworld Combination and Flying Sand Combination have not been directly separated, they have completely eliminated any thoughts of replacing Tang Dynasty Combination.
In this battle, Wang Chao single-handedly carried the entire coaching staff, and finally won a complete victory, helping Tang Yuanyuan hold on to the field. It can be said that it was an unprecedented first time since the establishment of Huaping. Now that the dust has settled, a lot of gossip has been leaked.
Although the matter has never been revealed directly from the coaches, after two months, the team members have already learned about the general process of the matter from various channels. For a time, there have been many rumors quietly in both the men's and women's team dormitories.
The relationship between the players is actually very pure, not as complicated as between the coaches, so these two heartless Wang Yu Shen Sha actually joke about Tang Yuanyuan and Wang Chao in the dormitory every day, not knowing that this is actually a humiliating defeat by their own coach.
The most amazing thing is that when winning this huge victory without smoke, Wang Chao was actually not Chinese Table Tennis base at all.
This is also very reasonable. After all, he will not participate in the Dubai Station, so he has returned to Jiangcheng City with Wu Li after the New Zealand Station to continue competing in this year's Table Tennis Super League Spring Split. Now more than a month has passed, Spade Q has played a full ten rounds and has an impressive record of 9 wins and 1 loss. In addition to the few games that Wang Chao did not participate in when the game just started, now, the total score is 10 wins and 4 losses, impressively ranking second in the standings, only behind the Magic City Fire Phoenix team in points.
Someone asked, shouldn't the first place be Jiangcheng University Team?
Of course not.
In order to practice doubles with Lin Li, general Jiangcheng University Team Luo Jiu was almost completely absent from work on Table Tennis Super League, while second general Hook, he won the title of Super League MVP Player of the Year last year, and has no desire for other honors of Table Tennis Super League. Naturally, he will do his best to compete in the World Championship this year, not only to enhance his commercial value, but also to impact the world rankings.
So the results of Jiangcheng University Team spring competition are actually very dismal...
As for Hook, he has a dream this year and hopes to get World number one.
Don't think that he has no chance. Although he can't beat Wang Chao and Luo Jiu, as a Brazilian player, he has sufficient quota and opportunities to participate. As long as he is diligent enough, he can not miss a stop in the 11 competitions throughout the year. In this case, diligence can make up for his weakness, and he will indeed have the opportunity to grab the most points.
As for Wang Chao and Luo Jiu, the stronger the better, but because they are in Huaping, the quota is limited. They are lucky to participate in half of the open competition in a year. If they occasionally fall short during the competition, it is certain that their points will be surpassed by Hook.
It was at a time when everything was prosperous that Black Spade Q Club faced a very sensitive issue: the contracts of most players were about to expire after the spring games.
