Old Teammates Retire One After Another, Young Prodigy Suffers Tendon Ruptures and Fractures

No one knows what Qin Huachang said to Wang Chao on this day in December of this year. Not even Sun Tianlong knows, because Qin Huachang said to him, "If you know, you will be lax, then how can you do your best to help Xiao Dong defeat Wang Chao?"

"Yes, it is indeed difficult for you to do this, but isn't this process, just like when you were suppressed by Wang Wendong, also an opportunity to continue training?"

"Don't think that it's just the players who need to be tempered. As a coach, your succession has been so smooth. The foundation I left you is so good. You haven't suffered any losses. You also need to be tempered again."

The table tennis world was still turbulent this year, but it was like a pool of still water for Wang Chao. He continued to win all the championships he wanted to win without any surprises. When he went home during the Spring Festival, he saw his biological brothers, Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu, named their youngest son Wang Ping.

The name is ordinary, because they do not expect their younger son to have many earth-shattering achievements in the future, but rather hope that their younger son can live a peaceful life and simply stay with them.

The reason why he has such a mentality is because Wang Chao's son is too successful in his career and too neglectful of his family, which makes Wang Mei involuntarily have such thoughts.

Therefore, human beings are always like this, looking forward to what they can't get, and tired of what they already have. Most of the parents in the world hope that their children will become dragons, but when their children really become dragons and fly in the sky without having time to land, they begin to look forward to returning to the simple companionship of ordinary people.

Of course, for the vast majority of people on this old street in Huangpo District in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City, it is unlikely that they will sympathize with each other when they hear Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu telling them about the origin of their youngest son's name. Most of their reactions will be "It's true." tmd Versailles", "Without your eldest son supporting you, your second son will no longer be ordinary, but a poor and humble couple." "When Wang Ping gnaws at his old age at home every day and doesn't go to work, you two will know how painful it is to be with him. "

After negotiating with Lemon, they went home and started beating their disobedient son. "Let me study hard and stand out when I grow up, so that I can feel proud in front of others!"

The Spring Festival has passed, and it is the fifth year of Wang Chao's time travel. It is also the third year since Wang Chao won the Olympic Games championship. This year's World Cup is another individual competition. Among the Chinese table tennis women's team, the 33-year-old Liu Wen got the last chance to participate in World Cup in her career.

She was supposed to retire three years ago, when she was 30 years old and her best partner and good friend Xiao Fei became a coach.

But she unexpectedly won the Olympic Games singles match gold medal, so she began to aspire to Grand Slam. She was only short of the World Cup singles championship, which was the lowest difficulty among the three competitions. She really couldn't let it go, because every Chinese player has a Grand Slam dream in their hearts.

However, the year after Olympic Games, she failed to win the World Cup championship. She lost to her young teammates.

She still doesn't want to give up, because the sunk cost is really high, and she is really only one step away from Grand Slam.

She had to wait for another two years. Last year it was the World Cup team competition, and this year it was finally the individual competition.

But she has actually fallen behind in the internal competition of the women's team, because the top three in the world of women's table tennis are now completely different from two years ago. The top three are currently Shen Sha, Wang Yu and Yin Di. Even the fourth place is not her, but Sakura Country player Ichikawa Mima.

Cai Guodong, under great pressure from rumors, forcibly gave her a spot as a final gift to the veteran.

Liu Wen competes with the determination to die, and on the men's team, there is another person who has the same determination to kill as her, that is Luo Jiu.

Luo Jiu is also 31 years old. He was decadent in the second half of last year, and even World Table Tennis Championships gave up. But at the end of the year, he suddenly remembered Sun Tianlong's last season. He realized that he had finally walked on the same life path as Brother Long, and it was time to muster up the last remaining courage to fight one last time.

He did not have a clear goal of "Double Grand Slam" like Sun Tianlong. In fact, the World Cup championship meant little to him because he had won it before, but he still forced himself to regard the only three major events of the year as his last battlefield, and embarked on the battlefield with a tragic heart.

The opponent in his mind is naturally his junior brother, Wang Chao.

In this World Cup, the contestants of the men's team are Wang Chao, Luo Jiu, and Fan Xiaodong, while the contestants of the women's team are Shen Sha, Wang Yu, and Liu Wen.

In the end, Luo Jiu failed to meet Wang Chao, because he was defeated by Lin Zijun again in the semi-finals.

In fact, facing Lin Zijun, all Luo Jiu could rely on before was better technology and control. What was bullied was that Lin Zijun had no active offensive ability, and if Now that Lin Zijun has mastered a new offensive system with the help of Jiang Peirong, when Luo Jiu meets him again, there is no advantage at all from a technical perspective.

After all, he is not Wang Chao, he cannot crack Super Speed of Lin Zijun from the front, and he is getting weaker day by day, while Lin Zijun is getting stronger day by day.

In another semi-final, Fan Xiaodong was once again blocked by Wang Chao 4:0.

He did not shed tears again, but the once immature face of the 18-year-old boy now had a fierce look on his face. He began to think very seriously about how to defeat Wang Chao, instead of just treating it as an optional problem like before.

The once innocent and carefree boy Liancheng City finally began to develop a heart of worry and reached the place Sun Tianlong wanted him to be.

This kind of worry and thinking will keep him polished, and this is how a flawless diamond is formed.

In the final Men's Singles final, Lin Zijun followed the same path as Fan Xiaodong and was crushed by Wang Chao with a clean sheet.

Wang Chao won the championship. The world table tennis world was very quiet, and everyone was in a calm mood. This calmness represents despair.

In the dark night, no one is looking forward to the coming of light.

As for the women's table tennis team, Liu Wen fell to her teammate Wang Yu once again and failed to enter the finals, let alone win the championship.

After losing his last game World Cup, Liu Wen burst into tears on the spot.

After World Cup returned to the Imperial Capital, Luo Jiu immediately announced his retirement, and three days later, Liu Wen also announced his retirement.

Luo Jiu's retirement is traceable, because everyone can see that his state and mentality were not very good in the last year. On the one hand, he really couldn't find a way to restrain Wang Chao. On the other hand, it was also because he had a family. It was reported that Fan Xiaoxian was pregnant a while ago, so his mind was no longer entirely on table tennis.

But Liu Wen's retirement is really painful.

She only had one breath a few years ago, but she couldn't stand it no matter what. She still wanted to persevere, but time waits for no one. Not only was her physical function declining due to her age, but more importantly, she had actually been urged to get married by her family since Olympic Games three years ago.

She is an only child, and her parents are indeed old and not in good health. In a year or two, they may not be able to carry their grandson.

In the end, Liu Wen failed to fulfill the dream of Grand Slam. Instead, she was constrained by this dream. She wasted three years and endured endless pressure. Looking back now, if she had not won the championship in Olympic Games, would she have retired directly three years ago, and her life now would be more comfortable?

This is how things are in the world. Today's good fortune may not be tomorrow's disaster, and today's misfortune may not be tomorrow's blessing. When Liu Wen retired, he treated everyone from China Table Tennis to a meal as a small tribute to his twenty-year career. Then he cried loudly and finally chose to leave the team.

She did not choose to stay as an assistant coach because she believed that she was not a cerebral player, and the pure speed style of play that she admired most was gradually being eliminated in this era when the diameter of table tennis balls became more than 40. She felt that her only advantage was persistence and hardship., she pays attention to basic training and was evaluated by Cai Guodong a long time ago as the player with the strongest foundation in the women's team. Therefore, after retiring, she chose to return to her hometown of Liao Province and serve as a formal coach for the provincial team. In the future, she may take over the position of head coach of the Liao Province women's team.

Considering that the three northeastern provinces have always been the cradle of table tennis talents, Liu Wen, a girl who was quite frustrated as a player, is actually very likely to have a second life as a coach.

Luo Jiu also did not stay on the team after retiring, because the men's team has had an influx of many young coaches in the past three years, and now there is no shortage of them.

At the same time, he also hopes to be with his wife and children instead of staying alone in the imperial capital.

In the end, Luo Jiu entered the Table Tennis and Badminton Sports Management Center of the Northern Hubei Province Sports Bureau. The starting point of his entry was as the deputy director. It can be said that he received considerable respect. The reason why he was able to receive such courtesy was because he had achieved great success four years ago and since then he has indeed become famous in the international arena.

Although he did not win any of the three major championships due to the suppression of Wang Chao, everyone can see that he has actually been the stable "second person in the world" in the three years since Sun Tianlong retired.

He was just unlucky and met a cheating dog.

This also leaves some fans who have always been grievances against Luo Jiu speechless, because facts have proved that Luo Jiu's battles in the past few years were not in vain. After all, there are still people who see it, and they have received tangible rewards.

In fact, the rewards don't stop there. After working as the deputy director for two years, Luo Jiu was invited by Jiangcheng Sports College to become the honorary vice president of this university. Although this title has no real power, it also brings his social status to a higher level.

With the retirement of Luo Jiu and Liu Wen, Lin Li also submitted a retirement application a week later.

He is the same age as Luo Jiu and is 31 years old. Although his physical fitness is quite good due to his talent and strength, his situation in the national team is actually more embarrassing than Luo Jiu.

He has been officially surpassed by Wang Chao, Fan Xiaodong, and Bai Feng, and is now ranked fourth in the national team. The embarrassing thing is that the first three are younger than the last, which is very disappointing.

In the end, Lin Li did not choose to stay in Huaping because he believed that he was not a smart person and was not suitable for an industry like coaching that requires intrigue. He also returned to his hometown Jizhou Province and became a coach of the Jizhou Province team.

A new internal competition started within the national team due to the retirement of Lin Li and Luo Jiu. In the end, Lu Feiyang and Wang Qin won and entered the ranks of the five main players.

So far, the Chinese table tennis men's team has completely formed a new generation. This year, Bai Feng is 29 years old, Wang Chao is 22 years old, Fan Xiaodong and Lu Feiyang are 19 years old, and Wang Qin is 16 years old. The average age of this main team has dropped from 28 years ago to 21 years old now. Even compared with the Sakura Country Table Tennis Association, which relies entirely on young players to dominate the world, it is not much different.

Luo Jiu retired in July of this year, and in the Austrian Open finals in August, Wang Chao did not keep a clean sheet for the first time, but played 4:1 with Lin Zijun.

In fact, it was still an undoubted crushing, but the world table tennis world became agitated because of this small game obtained by Lin Zijun. Many fans became excited, thinking that Wang Chao's dominance was beginning to show its decline, because they saw that Wang Chao's playing style became less oppressive and disappointing than in the past.

People are not good for a hundred days, and flowers are prosperous for a hundred days. They do not believe that after Sun Tianlong, there will be another person who can really sit at the number one position in the world. Although Wang Chao is still young enough, everyone has begun to optimistically speculate when Wang Chao will lose for the first time and who he will lose to.

The reason why fans are like this is actually because in the current world table tennis world, although Wang Chao suppresses everything, the strength of others is really not weak at all. On the contrary, a large number of rising stars have emerged in the past three years.

It must be admitted that table tennis is booming around the world and is full of prosperity and restlessness.

Fan Xiaodong, Lin Zijun, Morad, Zhang Benkuang, these four young players from four different table tennis associations have become the recognized Among the four King Kongs under Wang Chao, Fan Xiaodong and Lin Zijun are slightly stronger, but Morad and Zhang Benkuang have their own characteristics and may replace them at any time.

Together with Hook, an older Brazilian, this constitutes the top five masters. It is a pity that there is no "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in this world, otherwise the names of East Evil, West Poison, Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar with magical powers would probably have to be arranged one by one.

However, the five top players failed to seize the opportunity slay Chao to prove the way, and the fans' good wishes were completely crushed in the subsequent series of events.

In early September, New Zealand Open and Wang Chao defeated Hook 4:1 to win the championship.

At the end of September, Asian Cup came, and Wang Chao defeated Bai Feng 4:1 to win the championship.

At the end of October, Asian Championships came, and Wang Chao defeated Lin Zijun 4:1 to win the championship.

Fans around the world were speechless.

Wang Chao is as stable as ever, and the game is as calm as ever, but his rigor and oppression in the game have indeed decreased. He always lets the opponent win one game, but always only lets the opponent win one game. From the past 4:0 to the current 4:1, it doesn't look like he has regressed, but like he is controlling points. He just made a little joke with the world through this small means, and then hides to watch the fans rejoice, and then snickers in a wicked way.

Or Qin Huachang revealed the answer during a live broadcast.

"From 4:0 to 4:1, what you see is just a change in the score, but what I see is clearly an increase in the error tolerance rate."

"Wang Chao is indeed stable enough, but he also knows that as long as he is still an individual, he will never be able to achieve stability for many years. He will inevitably make mistakes, and he must give himself room for mistakes. Therefore, he chose not to wait for mistakes to come to him, but took the initiative to give himself room for mistakes. He lowered By lowering the difficulty of playing and reducing the accuracy of his technical requirements, he can play more comfortably in every game and allow the opponent to counterattack him to a certain extent. However, as a result, he can be more stable overall. Even if his condition fluctuates, he will not collapse because of too demanding playing requirements."

"So, you think he has regressed, but I think he is playing smarter."

"We said that hardness is easy to break. I have been waiting for the day when Wang Chao breaks. However, he made up for the only flaw. So now, he can really rule forever, forever, forever."

Qin Huachang's words revealed the truth and made countless fans despair. They carefully reviewed Wang Chao's games in recent months, especially the specific content of Wang Chao's losses, and then clearly realized that Qin Huachang was not talking nonsense.

"But this comparison is still not impeccable." Qin Huachang said a few days later, "In order to consolidate his dominance, he played too many games. Even if he tried to save energy in every game, he was still overdrawn."

"Then the fate that every athlete cannot escape will befall him."

"Just wait, Wang Chao's injury is coming."

These words were like a curse. At the Italian Open two months later, Wang Chao was injured when he fell down while saving the ball in the semifinals against Fan Xiaodong. He returned to battle after emergency bandaging.

Everyone thought he was going to lose, but in the end, despite his illness, he still defeated Fan Xiaodong 4:2.

This game made Fan Xiaodong's mentality explode. In the last game, he gave up completely and was beaten 11:0 by Wang Chao without any mercy.

After the defeat, Fan Xiaodong lost his grace for the first time and refused to shake hands after the game. He also acted as if he had not heard Sun Tianlong's call and left the scene with his head lowered.

Sun Tianlong was not angry, but just a little worried. He was thinking, didn't the teacher reach an agreement with Wang Chao? Why is Wang Chao unwilling to lose a game naturally under such circumstances? On the contrary, they beat him even more fiercely.

He does believe in frustration education, but to this day he no longer dares to privately beg Wang Chao to be harder. Instead, he is a little afraid of really crushing the good seedling of Fan Xiaodong.

He substituted himself into Fan Xiaodong and felt some kind of breathless pain. This was more than the suppression Wang Wendong had on him back then. After all, he was full of hope every time because he knew for sure that there was not that big a gap between himself and Wang Wendong.
