This incident caused an uproar in the European table tennis world. It is known as the "European two-star death incident in one day" in history. Because European players generally reach their prime after the age of thirty, there are especially many veterans. When they saw the retirement of Wolf and Ochomirov, they all felt sad and empathized with each other.

In September of this year, the World Cup individual competition opened, and Wang Chao once again chose to withdraw. In the end, Huaping sent Fan Xiaodong, Wu Li, and Wang Qin to compete.

This is Wang Chao's promise to Qin Huachang. He will give Fan Xiaodong another chance to win the gold medal in the three major competitions.

However, Fan Xiaodong failed to catch it this time. He was defeated by Lin Zijun in the semi-finals, and then Lin Zijun was defeated by Hook in the finals. Hook won the gold medal in the World Cup individual competition.

During the post-match interview, Hook, who had already learned to talk nonsense from Luo Jiu, said happily, "I want everyone to pay attention to me. It is not just Chinese players who can challenge Grand Slam. I can do it too. I now hold a gold medal in the three major competitions and am on the same starting line as Fan Xiaodong. As for who can do it in the future, please wait and see."

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. This is the eighth year that Wang Chao has traveled through time. He is already 25 years old, and his younger brother Wang Ping is also 4 years old. He is a chubby and cute little boy. However, when Wang Ping saw the table tennis racket at home and wanted to play table tennis, he was stopped by Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu.

This is a subtle mentality from the parents that is difficult to clearly analyze. For some unknown reason, they do not want their youngest son to have the hobby of table tennis. In order to cut off this possibility, they do not even want their youngest son to touch table tennis.

Wang Chao It was many years before I heard about this childhood incident from my younger brother, and then I found it a bit funny.

He guessed that Wang Mei probably saw that his talent was too good, so he worried that Wang Ping also had the same outstanding table tennis talent. Once Wang Ping started playing, he would most likely become a professional player and leave his parents again.

But Wang Chao knows that in fact, this body itself has no talent at all. His talent is cheating and comes from time travel. Therefore, if he has children in the future, he will probably not make any achievements in table tennis.

All I can say is that my mother thinks too much.

But from this, we can also see that Wang Mei still has some complaints in his heart about his complete abandonment of the family. After all, he is his son who has been dependent on each other for eighteen years and his only companion. After finally raising him, he really left without a trace.

This year Wang Chao was injured again in the Open. During the examination, the doctor told him that he had a problem with his lumbar spine and a permanent strain on the tendon of his right leg. At the same time, he also had chronic inflammation in his left shoulder. Although he was a cheater, he still encountered injuries that all athletes would encounter.

"You should play less games in the future." The doctor persuaded him seriously, "You have won so many gold medals, why are you still working so hard? It's not like our reserve force can't handle it."

Wang Chao thought about it, but couldn't think of anything to refute.

Under his rule and suppression, today's Huaping has indeed become extremely prosperous, even a little abnormally prosperous. It is obviously an era when foreign talents are emerging in large numbers, but Huaping has the most unexplainable dominance in history. So, what role does he play in it?

Is it a protector?

Or a pioneer of Jiang Shan?

If it's the latter, then after he retires, can anyone keep the Jiang Shan he defeated?

Fan Xiaodong 80% is not enough, because he cannot guarantee 100% victory when facing Lin Zijun and Hook.

So, is it necessary to guard such a Jiang Shan?

When I first came to this world, I once quietly complained that Huaping had made Sun Tianlong suffer too much in order to hold on to the throne, and felt that many of Huaping's decisions were unrealistic.

But now, will he become the stubborn guardian of the crown?

Is it really "I will become you when I grow up"?

Wang Chao laughed dumbly and shook his head to expel the unclear question. He promised the doctor, "Okay, I will compete less in the future... but I have to achieve a goal before retiring, right?"

The doctor asked, "What is your goal?"

Wang Chao smiled but did not answer.

Since then, Wang Chao has significantly reduced the number of times he participated in open competitions, choosing to give more opportunities to Fan Xiaodong, Wu Li, Wang Qin, and Lu Feiyang, as well as more smaller players under the main players, such as Xu Bin, Yuan Li, Lin Dong and others in the same batch as Wang Qin.

They have all grown up, especially Lin Dong, who has vaguely wanted to ride on Lu Feiyang. Wang Qin had already surpassed Lu Feiyang in the team rankings as early as last year. He came from behind and pushed Lu Feiyang to the fifth position in the main ranking.

The most important event of the year was that Cai Guodong left Huaping at the end of the year and was promoted. He entered the State Sports General Administration, and the organization asked him to recommend a successor. After much thought, he finally chose Zhu Zeshi because "Old Zhu is the most stable and has sufficient qualifications."

As we all know, in China, no matter what field, qualifications have always been a very important consideration.

But then, he didn't shy away and directly held a small meeting with Wang Chao, Zhu Zeshi, He Jingping, Wang Lu, and Sun Tianlong, the people he valued most.

He warned Zhu Zeshi: "If Wang Chao were not here, I would not nominate you. Although you have enough qualifications, you are confused. In the position of head coach, you must withstand the pressure of the general administration and the pressure of the coach. You must have a bowl of water, but you cannot insist on absolute fairness. You must select outstanding candidates. You must give special treatment to your players, but you cannot make obvious distinctions. Many times, you will encounter a dilemma. You must make your own trade-offs and ensure that everything is taken into account. You must also insist on paying attention to the training situation of the players on the front line and cannot become a pure bureaucrat. Otherwise, in the future, you will not be able to distinguish who is right and who is wrong in what other coaches say."

Zhu Zeshi was a little embarrassed by what he said, but after all, he had practiced Qi-nurturing Kung Fu all his life. At this critical moment, he also knew that Cai Guodong meant well and said good words, so he nodded silently, thought silently, and digested these words.

Cai Guodong continued, "The only advantage of Old Zhu being a head coach is that technically, you have excellent technical talents like Old He to help you, and when you encounter personnel problems, Wang Chao must be on your side. With him here, you will never worry about losing money in calculations. In this way, Old Zhu, you only need to know how to use people and be willing to use them, and there will be no big problems within Huaping."

He looked at Wang Lu again. "Old Wang, I am not opposed to healthy competition within Huaping, but the public spirit must be greater than selfishness. You have always done an excellent job in this regard. In the past two years, with your younger brother Wang Shou joining Huaping, Wang Clan's power has also grown, and gradually I have gradually become equal to Qin and Zhu factions. In fact, if Qin and Zhu factions makes any mistakes at this time, you will have the opportunity to replace it... What I want to tell you most before leaving is that no matter what, you must not harm the collective interests for the sake of personal interests. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Lu Su Rong nodded. "Don't worry, I understand."

Cai Guodong finally looked at Sun Tianlong, but did not speak, just patted him on the shoulder.

Because Sun Tianlong is aboveboard in everything he says and does. Such a person is not suitable to be at the helm, but he is absolutely trustworthy and does not need to explain anything.

Finally Cai Guodong looked at Wang Chao, thought for a long time, and then said, "Wang Chao, you must also remember that publicity is greater than selfishness."

He really didn't know what else to say to Wang Chao. When it came to explaining specific personnel matters, he even felt that Wang Chao was more comprehensive and exhaustive than him. So in the end, he could only give Wang Chao a little pat on the back, because in his mind, Wang Chao really could not be considered an aboveboard person.

He just told Wang Lu to serve the public wholeheartedly. In fact, he was not really worried about Wang Lu plotting against Zhu Zeshi. On the contrary, he was worried that if Wang Lu really dared to plot against Zhu Zeshi and Wang Chao counterattacked, Wang Clan would be completely destroyed.

Wang Lu naturally guessed Cai Guodong's protective heart, so he made a positive guarantee so seriously.

So at this time, what Cai Guodong really wants to say is, "No one will look at you after I leave, so you have to be merciful."

But of course he couldn't say these words no matter what.

Another year passed in the blink of an eye, and in the ninth year after Wang Chao traveled through time, he was 26 years old, Fan Xiaodong was 23 years old, and Wang Qin was 20 years old.

This year Wang Chao began to feel troubled by injuries. He had competed too frequently in the past few years, as if candles were burning crazily, as if he wanted to shine brightest in the shortest time. Although he is still young, he is now a veteran with many injuries.

After all, he gradually turned into Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong.

The events he participated in became increasingly rare, but he still won every time he participated. In the mixed doubles event, he and Tang Yuanyuan almost became legends, although Huaping also had Wang Qin+ The two team combinations Shen Sha and Wang Yu+Fan Xiaodong can undertake certain competition tasks, but in every three major competitions, Tang Dynasty Combination is still the only choice that cannot be shaken.

This year Tang Yuanyuan said to Wang Chao, "I am 26 years old."

Wang Chao asked her with a smile, "Can you still fight?"

Tang Yuanyuan nodded. "Of course."

Wang Chao said, "Then keep fighting."

Tang Yuanyuan was still as obedient as before and didn't say any more unnecessary words.

This year Fan Xiaodong became the main force of Huaping in the Open. His love affair with Lin Zijun also became the new theme of the table tennis world. However, when the World Cup individual competition started this year, Wang Chao chose to participate and still won the championship without any suspense.

He just no longer loves fighting like he did when he was young, but when he chooses to go out, he is still invincible.

This year Wang Chao was invited to attend the wedding of Luo Xiaoyu, a reporter from Jiangcheng City TV station. The groom was a colleague who also worked at Jiangcheng City TV Sports Channel.

He and Luo Xiaoyu first met in Jiangcheng City's training hall. Later he learned that this beautiful sister turned out to be the daughter of Jiangcheng City Team's head coach Luo Zhihong. He was 18 years old that year and Luo Xiaoyu was 22 years old.

Then Luo Xiaoyu followed his team Spade Q and became a cheerleader for half a year.

Now he is 27 years old, and Luo Xiaoyu is 31 years old. The young girl who knew nothing about table tennis back then is now a senior sports reporter, mature and charming. Only when facing Wang Chao, she still retains the same kindness as when she treated her idol.

In a flash, it's the tenth year of Wang Chao's time travel. The most important event of this year is Olympic Games, which is held every four years.

In the past year, Wang Chao gave up almost all the competitions he could give up. Now holding the double-lap Grand Slam, he has no desire and no desire, so many people speculated that he might continue to retire, but this time Wang Chao chose to participate.

There is an interesting anecdote about Olympic Games. It was rumored in the national team at that time that anyone who Olympic Games served as the flag bearer during the entrance ceremony would eventually encounter a curse and would not be able to win the gold medal.

But table tennis has a high status in China's sports system. Wang Chao has had a god-like dominance in recent years. In addition, his own image is also good, so the State Sports General Administration directly appointed him as the flag bearer.

Huaping's inner circle was more gloating about this. Everyone knew that he was very strong, and they wanted him to come face to face with the curse that had been circulating for many years.

In the end, Wang Chao appeared as the flag bearer, leading the Chinese Sports athlete phalanx into Olympic Games, and more than half a month later, he won the Olympic Games men's singles and mixed doubles, and Men's Doubles championships without any suspense, slapping the so-called flag bearer curse in the face.

So far, he has achieved three consecutive Olympic Games championships and completed three laps of Grand Slam. This achievement may not be broken by anyone in the future.

It is worth mentioning that this time the Olympic Games finals were again between Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong.

Fan Xiaodong has undoubtedly proven his strength, but he has never been able to climb the mountain of Wang Chao.

Huaping pays attention to grabbing the class and seizing the power, but does not pay attention to abdication and giving way to talents, but he really can't grab Wang Chao's class, and can't seize Wang Chao's power. He is desperate and turns to Sun Tianlong for help, but at this moment even Sun Tianlong is confused.

He also believes in seizing classes and seizing power, but does Fan Xiaodong really have a chance?

Sun Tianlong carefully calculated that he was suppressed by Wang Wendong for seven years. He is known as the best Great Demon King in history. However, Fan Xiaodong has been suppressed by Wang Chao for eight years, which is one year longer than himself.

Sun Tianlong felt slightly sorry for his disciple.

But he didn't think much about this issue, because after Olympic Games, Wang Chao submitted his retirement application to the new head coach Zhu Zeshi as soon as he returned to the imperial capital Chinese Table Tennis base.
