Jiangsu Province, Taihu City, Taihu Beauty Club.
The taxi stopped dozens of meters away from the club, and a young man walked out carrying a huge suitcase with one hand, looking effortless.
Under the sunlight, his exposed shoulders had solid tendons bulging out due to exertion. Just by looking at them, one could feel the explosive power contained in them.
Because the sun was too strong, he was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and his facial features could not be seen clearly, but the exposed lines below his mouth and on both sides of his cheeks were like knife carvings, making him look a bit cold. Coupled with his strong enough body, it created an indescribable and huge sense of oppression, making it difficult not to notice him at the first time.
The young man walked into the shadows under the club door, ignored the curious eyes of the security guard at the guard booth, and took out his mobile phone to call, "Zhu Zehai, my name is Zhu Ding, come out and pick me up."
There was an obvious exclamation from the other side of the phone, followed by something else.
The young man frowned, looking a little impatient, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, come out quickly."
The phone was hung up, and the exclamation coming from the other side was cut off directly. The young man named Zhu Ding stood motionless, like a tall poplar. After waiting for about three minutes, someone was in the club. He ran out at a speed that was almost galloping, panting and yelling, "Zhu Ding, are you crazy? You Poseidon Club have a competition tomorrow, why did you come to me?"
Zhu Ding grinned, showing eight white teeth. They were white in the sun, without any warmth, but with a hint of cruelty. He said, "Dear little uncle, I don't even play my own games, so I asked for leave to come here to help you with special training... Shouldn't you say thank you to me?"
Within ten minutes, the entire Taihu Beauty Club was shocked. From the team leader to the coach and all the players, they all came to Zhu Ding.
Just because his name is Zhu Ding.
He was a single player of last year's Table Tennis First Division championship team Poseidon Club, and was last year's mvp player of the year and the most valuable player.
He has many honors. In addition to the above-mentioned heavyweight honors, there are countless minor honors.
For example, "the record holder for the shortest time in a single game", "the holder for the most winning streaks by a single player", "Table Tennis First Division the player with the most commercial value", "Table Tennis First Division the player with the most fines", "Table Tennis First Division the most irritable player", etc. There are praises and criticisms, mixed praises, and countless others.
He stayed at Poseidon Club for six years, and Poseidon Club entered the playoffs for six years and won two championships.
In Poseidon Club's honor exhibition room, more than two-thirds of the certificates and trophies are related to him.
But his style is domineering and lawless, and he always goes his own way without caring about others. Poseidon Club also spent countless efforts to wipe his butt, and was even slightly punished once by the Table Tennis Association for overprotecting him.
There are many players who refuse Poseidon Club's invitation because they don't want to work with Zhu Ding.
The above is not enough for him to alarm the entire club's top brass as a player.
His most prominent identity is - the only son of Zhu Zeshi.
In the past ten years, there have been two major factions that have been in the limelight in the Chinese table tennis world, one is the Qin Sect and the other is the Zhu Sect.
The Qinmen is headed by national team coach Qin Huachang, and his disciples Sun Tianlong and Lin Li are both the main players in the national table tennis team.
The Zhumen are headed by the national team coach Zhu Zeshi, and their disciple Xiao Fei is also the main force of the national table tennis team.
It is worth mentioning that He Jingping is the junior disciple of Zhu Zeshi, so Luo Jiu can also be considered a disciple of the wealthy family.
"Zhu Ding, you can tell me now, what are you crazy about?" When Zhu Zehai asked this question, he felt a little panicked.
In terms of seniority, he is actually the younger uncle of Zhu Ding, because he and Zhu Zeshi, the big boss of the wealthy family, are from the same ancestry. The family tree has been continued for dozens of generations without interruption. Four generations ago, their ancestors were brothers.
Even his and Zhu Zeshi's names were given by the same elder of the Zhu family. Zhu is the surname, Ze is the seniority, and the characters "" and "" behind them are the same, which means "the sea is dry and the stone is rotten".
But because of his age, he is not like Zhu Ding's elder, but more like Zhu Ding's brother. When he was a child, he tried to use his seniority to suppress Zhu Ding, but was beaten so violently by Zhu Ding that he cried, and later he became Zhu Ding's younger brother.
He has a soft personality, while Zhu Ding has been like a little bully since he was a child. He is physically strong and has a domineering personality, and he is invincible in the entire community.
Later, both of them embarked on the road of table tennis under the guidance of their elders.
Zhu Zehai has good talent, but Zhu Ding has outstanding talent, so the two never met again for many years. Zhu Zehai joined Table Tennis First Division directly after coming out of the city team and has been playing until now.
But Zhu Ding has been extremely brilliant. He has been to the provincial team, the national team, and played in the World Series. He also personally participated in the system reform of the national table tennis team seven years ago and experienced the two-way choice between coaches and players.
It's just that I don't know what happened after that. Zhu Ding suddenly left the national team, then rejected all the olive branches extended by the Table Tennis Super League team, and resolutely joined Table Tennis First Division. He played for six years and never moved again.
Therefore, the friendship between Zhu Zehai and Zhu Ding is really not good.
Zhu Zehai is even a little afraid of Zhu Ding. On the one hand, it is the shadow of his childhood, and on the other hand, it is some kind of inferiority complex that he is unwilling to admit.
If we didn't meet each other on many occasions every Chinese New Year, Zhu Zehai would only wish to stay away from Zhu Ding for the rest of our lives.
At this moment, Zhu Ding was sitting on a chair at the Taihu Beauty Club training ground. Facing a group of high-level club bosses, he showed no signs of shyness and expressed his intention. "As I said just now, I'm here to give my little uncle special training... Of course, if others are willing, I can also give him some training."
Everyone looked at each other, and then the team coach asked, "Don't you want to play your own game?"
"Don't worry." Zhu Ding seemed indifferent. "The opponents in the first three rounds are all rubbish. Even if I am not here, they can still win. What's more... even if they lose, they can fight back when I go back."
He asked everyone present, "Are you still afraid that Poseidon Club won't make it to the playoffs?"
Everyone shook their heads, and then the team coach asked again, "But... I still don't understand your purpose."
"My purpose is simple."
Zhu Ding said seriously, "I hope you will be more ambitious and improve your level, and then..."
He took a deep look at Zhu Zehai and said, "Uncle, when you meet Black Spade Q Club, I want you to make every effort to defeat their new player Wang Chao."
Zhu Zehai was a little confused, but he was a member of the Zhu family after all and knew some secrets. At this moment, recalling what had happened to Zhu Ding, he gradually came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "Although Wang Chao is a newbie, since he is the one I like, how can I beat him?"
Zhu Ding also smiled, "Since I'm here, I naturally have my own ideas."
In the entire Taihu Beauty Club, no one except Zhu Zehai knows what happened to Zhu Ding, but they at least know one thing.
There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hatred without reason. The strong emotions shown by Zhu Ding must have a reason.
Generally speaking, Taihu Beauty Club is happy to see this scene, because to them, players of Zhu Ding's level are so high up there that they are completely out of reach, let alone being hired as a sparring partner.
Now, Zhu Ding has come by himself. Not only does he not want any reward, he also offers to give special training to Taihu Mei's three regular players. His only request is that the players can improve by leaps and bounds.
This is completely in line with the interests of the club itself.
In the opening match two days ago, Taihumei played Taihu City at home, but ultimately lost to "Duck Head Club" who came from afar.
Although Sichuan Army has always been a strong player of Table Tennis First Division, Taihu Mei lost miserably and was swept 3:0, which still put a lot of pressure on the entire team.
Jiangsu Province has money, so there are two Table Tennis First Division teams.
However, Jiangsu Province lacks strong local players, so both teams are not strong.
After all, Jiangsu Province is not a traditional table tennis province. The two Table Tennis First Division teams have only been established for a few years and are not as good as those old and powerful teams.
Therefore, the greatest significance of the arrival of Zhu Ding is to essentially improve the quality and level of players' daily training. This is something that coaches cannot teach based on theory alone.
That afternoon, the club coach went to the training ground to watch Zhu Ding train Zhu Zehai. The whole stadium was filled with the roar of Zhu Ding.
"Too slow!"
"Faster, faster!"
"Harder!"
"Harder!"
"Zhu Zehai, haven't you eaten?"
"Fight, why don't you dare to fight?"
"You don't even dare to attack this kind of ball?"
"Are you a pig?"
"Come again!"
"Is this how you usually practice?"
"If we don't achieve the results I want to see today, none of you three will be allowed to rest."
"Practice all night for me!"
"I'll stay with you all night!"
Zhu Ding is like a devil, suppressing Taihu Midea's three main players with pale faces and sweating profusely. They are forced to use all their strength to do things that are difficult for them to do.
The silver ball was like lightning, constantly hitting the table and then hitting the racket, making a thrilling sound. From a distance, the coach seemed to be able to hear the whistling of the flying ball and the rustling of the spinning ball.
He looked at it from a distance for a long time. As he looked at it, he suddenly felt horrified and frightened. He actually broke out in a cold sweat in the hot weather!
He was thinking, when I first joined the club to coach, wasn't I also very passionate and wanted to take this lower-tier team into the playoffs?
When did you start slacking off?
Did he lose one battle after another that made him unknowingly lower his demands on the players?
Or is it that no matter how hard you try, you can't improve your grades, which gives you the idea that "it doesn't matter whether you work hard or not"?
He has heard countless negative news about Zhu Ding over the years. He is arrogant, domineering, arrogant, ruthless, irritable, fights, bullies, and so on.
In last year's regular season, Taihu Mei's single Zhu Zehai was severely beaten by Poseidon Club and Zhu Ding. If I remember correctly, I should have shaved my head in one game.
But today the coach suddenly discovered the biggest shining point in Zhu Ding.
The ace player of the championship team has an unusual devotion to table tennis. Even during training, he does not allow any slack or compromise.
So the bald head that Zhu Ding gave to Zhu Zehai last year may not be entirely for humiliation, but because he was very disappointed with his "little uncle" and even the club where his uncle was.
