Yes, Wang Chao wants to quit.
Three times Olympic Games was the goal he set for himself the first time he came to this world. The reason for the three laps was that in the world before he crossed over, a certain great athlete had already achieved Double Grand Slam. After he traveled over, Sun Tianlong could also achieve Double Grand Slam.
The time traveler must be the first. Since there are double circles in the original trajectories of the two worlds, Wang Chao must of course win at least three circles.
But he also knows that his suppression of Fan Xiaodong is too cruel. If he continues to suppress him, he will really become a enemy. Therefore, it is good to use this grand event as the final glory.
Zhu Zeshi was not surprised by his retirement application. He just called all the coaches to have a meeting and discussed it in name.
After all, he is the number one player in Chinese table tennis. Wang Chao's retirement will have a huge impact on the future strategy of Chinese table tennis. It is reasonable to hold a meeting.
Sun Tianlong asked Wang Chao at the meeting, "Aren't you waiting for Xiao Dong to seize the class and seize power?"
Wang Chao smiled and shook his head.
"This is not the tradition of Huaping." Sun Tianlong thought for a while and sighed, "But it doesn't matter if you quit, I really don't know how he can seize the class and seize power."
Then he sincerely thanked Wang Chao, because after Wang Chao retreated, his disciple Fan Xiaodong would be like a flying dragon in the sky, fighting freely, and no one could restrain him anymore.
But he didn't know that Wang Chao had no intention of letting anyone seize power from him from the beginning.
Because class grabbing is aimed at normal athletes, but he is a cheater, so it would be too much to let Fan Xiaodong seize the rights of a cheater.
If he doesn't retreat, he will always be number one in the world.
Wang Chao retired and naturally turned into a coach. Even if he wanted to work for Northern Hubei Province, Zhu Zeshi would never let him go.
As soon as he retired, Tang Yuanyuan also retired, because she did not have any other projects except mixed doubles with Wang Chao in these years.
In recent years, she has lost interest in table tennis to a large extent. She only persisted in playing with Wang Chao. Now that she has retired, she is relieved and feels that her long wait has finally come to an end.
She asked Wang Chao: "Can I get married?"
Wang Chao smiled and touched the head of 27-year-old Tang Yuanyuan. Just like when he faced the 18-year-old girl who looked old-fashioned but was actually full of childishness, he said, "Be more reserved. I should ask this question."
Then he asked, "Can we get married?"
Tang Yuanyuan said "Hmm" without being reserved at all, and nodded vigorously.
In October of this year, Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan chose to hold their wedding during the National Day.
Compared with the legendary love story of Luo Jiu and Fan Xiaoxian, the story of him and Tang Yuanyuan seems a bit dull. The two have been playing together since they met. They have been mixed doubles partners for nine years and have seen off batch after batch of retired teammates. In the end, they naturally walked together.
Even in the years they had been together, there weren't that many romantic details. They didn't go to the North Pole to see the aurora, they didn't go to Africa to see the great migration of animals, they didn't go to the Maldives to play in the water, they didn't go to Dali, Yunnan to enjoy flowers.
Just after realizing that the time was up, someone asked another person a question, "Can we get married?"
They've been playing hard, that's all.
But neither of them felt regretful, but rather liked it. Compared to those romantic and flamboyant couples, their relationship is actually closer, because they are not only lovers, but also comrades-in-arms.
They have spent most of the past nine years getting along day and night, but they have lived a collective life.
He Jingping was very happy, feeling as if he had seen his own son getting married. He was so busy busying himself that he even ignored the affairs of the national team, completely forgetting that October was far from the time when the Chinese table tennis coach would be on vacation.
As senior brothers and sisters-in-law, Luo Jiu and Fan Xiaoxian were so busy that almost all the trivial matters were taken care of. Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan could just wait to enter the bridal chamber.
Wang Chao doesn't want to make a big deal, but with his current status, he can't keep a low profile even if he really wants to. Unknowingly, Jiangcheng City has organized yet another luxurious wedding.
Tang Yuanyuan is indeed a girl from a big family who came from the Confucius and Mencius family. The seven aunts and eight aunts who came from Shandong Province remembered that Wang Chao had a big head. On the wedding banquet that day, in order to help Wang Chao with the wine, they got three or four groomsmen drunk. Fortunately, in the end, Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan still maintained his sense and entered the bridal chamber together.
Well, that's enough, at least we can still create humans tonight.
In the blink of an eye, another year has arrived.
Wang Chao is 28 years old, and it has been eleven years since he traveled here.
It was just after the Spring Festival. He and Tang Yuanyuan chose to walk around during their wedding vacation. On this day, they went to Nanjing City. He and Tang Yuanyuan walked hand in hand on the street. He remembered that League A had encountered many things here, and even almost had his arm broken by a gangster on the street.
The many scenes of winning the championship in my memory have faded away, but the scenes from when I first traveled through time still remain clearly in my mind.
That was the first time that Tian Zhengguang showed its fighting power, and it was also the first time that Zhumen showed its huge influence.
He has also not seen Tian Zhengguang and Gao Ming for many years.
Brother Geng later played for Table Tennis First Division for several years, and chose to retire three years ago. Although we have contact, we rarely talk to him anymore.
"Well, I don't even remember the name of the player who wanted to harm me. After all, it was too long ago. I only remember that his leg was broken by Zhu Ding, and then he seemed to go to Sakura Country to develop. At that time, Zhu Ding was very irritable, and he is not smiling at everyone now."
Wang Chao was excited when he spoke. When he looked up, he suddenly felt familiar. "Oh, it seems to be that alley."
He excitedly pulled Tang Yuanyuan in, only to find that the uninhabited alley in his memory seemed to have been widened, and there were some stalls on the roadside. After walking a few steps forward, he heard the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong). A child who was only six or seven years old had set up a broken door and two stools as a table at the end of the alley, and was playing ball. The rackets in the hands of the two children were all worn out, and the rubber had almost lost its elasticity, but the balls they hit were very neat and orderly.
This kind of logic was nothing to World Champion. Tang Yuanyuan lost interest after just one glance. However, Wang Chao could faintly see a bit of genius in the movements of one of the children. When he looked at the child's features, he looked vaguely familiar.
At this time, one of the children hit the racket hard and actually hit a good straight-line attack. The other child said "ouch" and cursed, "Didn't we agree not to attack? You fouled me!"
In addition, the child was not to be outdone. "Do I call this an attack? I just used a little force, but you were too weak."
The two quarreled, talking about Wu Nong's soft words. Wang Chao couldn't understand it at all, so he didn't bother to pay attention anymore. He pulled Tang Yuanyuan by and walked by. Tang Yuanyuan asked Wang Chao about some things about the Chinese table tennis coaching staff. Wang Chao was still a bit showy in front of his wife, and he also talked about his future plans for the Chinese table tennis team.
Yes, he assumed that he would take over Huaping after Zhu Zeshi was promoted, because looking at it, no one was more suitable than him. Wang Lu was somewhat competitive, but Zhu Zeshi was selfish after all. He would definitely recommend him if the competitiveness of both parties was evenly divided, not to mention that the competitiveness of the two sides was obviously a 30-70 split, and Wang Lu was only 30%.
"If I were in charge of Huaping, I would reform, change the mechanism for selecting talents, and let more young players go to the international arena. I would give up Huaping's obsession with gold medals. Except for the three major competitions, all other competitions will be used as training grounds. Only in this way can we increase the thickness of the bench and cope with the increasingly fierce competition in today's world."
"Of course, as a coach of Huaping, you shouldn't stay in the base of the Imperial Capital. Instead, you should travel around the world when you have the opportunity to see if you can personally discover some good talents. For example, Coach Qin discovered Fan Xiaodong, or Old He discovered me... In fact, there are countless talents that have been missed in the wild, and the rigid selection and training mechanism cannot filter them out."
"I will also arrange for national team coaches, like Old Qin, to be regular guests on TV to explain various large-scale events. They will not talk about empty words and clichés, but will focus on details and techniques. They will bring out practical information to enhance the viewing experience of table tennis audiences around the world."
"In this way, the players of non-Chinese associations will of course learn a lot from it, and they will improve quickly. In the long run, Hua Ping Ping may no longer be dominant, but the influence of table tennis around the world will continue to increase. In my opinion, making the plate bigger is more important than dominating the small plate. Although Old Qin pretended to be a bureau before his death, the concept he said is really good."
"At that time, maybe we China Table Tennis will no longer have to establish a national system, and I, the head coach, will no longer exist. At that time, am I a hero or a sinner for Chinese table tennis? For world table tennis, am I a hero or a sinner?"
Wang Chao was excited as he spoke, but suddenly Tang Yuanyuan poured cold water on the side and said, "Do you want to travel around the world to find good seeds? Those two kids just did a good job, and you don't know how to find them."
Wang Chao was stunned for a moment, and the vaguely familiar face of one of the children flashed through his mind again. Suddenly, he remembered who it looked like.
"Strange, didn't he go to Sakura Country? I remember Yoshikawa Hiroshi seemed to say so... Could it be that something unexpected happened later?"
Wang Chao stopped thinking about it and said, "Yuanyuan, you are right, let's turn back."
The two walked back to the alley again. The two children were still arguing while playing ball, but they were babbling hard and couldn't hear clearly. Wang Chao smiled and asked one of the children, "What's your name?"
When the stranger asked the question, the child was startled. He didn't even pick up the ball, turned around and ran away. It was clear that he regarded Wang Chao as a bad guy, but it made Wang Chao a little embarrassed. The child on the other side of the door panel was bolder and said, "His name is xx, do you know him?"
He said a name, but he still couldn't hear it clearly. It seemed that his surname was Yang.
Wang Chao's heart moved again and asked, "Then what is his father's name?"
The child looked at him with a strange look, probably thinking that he was a bad person, so he stopped answering, turned around, and ran away as fast as possible, leaving only an empty door panel and two lame stools standing on the spot.
The wind blew, and the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus rice dumplings fermented with wine and Nanjing City local salted duck floated in the wind. Wang Chao took a sip, and his eyes were in a trance, as if he was already in the bustling streets of Jinling Night Market back then. Recalling the past and comparing it with the present, he was stunned for a moment.
~~Complete "Ping-Pong Life"~~
(Haha, I finished the whole article, which is quite emotional. I will adjust my mood in the past two days and write a review after finishing the book. Then, the book may continue to add a little more miscellaneous things. On the one hand, it is to pass the window period before starting a new book. On the other hand, I still have some divergent thoughts about this book. I want to express my thoughts a little bit. If you are interested, you can keep it on the bookshelf. There is no need to rush to take it off the shelf. Finally, let's celebrate warmly and thank everyone. Those who can read this are the brothers who have followed me to the end. I'll give you a shout-out.)
(Finally, please subscribe again. Since the book was put on the shelves, it has been basically at a rate of 10,000 words a day. I persisted for half a year and wrote two million words. I have not slacked off for a day, which can be regarded as a correct attitude. But until now, it is still not a high-quality book. It is just bad. In one breath, I've ordered it now for 2850. If you have the conditions, please support me and make a full order to satisfy my little obsession. After all, the characters in the book can be deliberately difficult, but the author himself does not want to be difficult. Okay, I'll give you another one.)
