But in fact, He Jingping has really become busy after returning to the national team.
On Austrian Open in mid-August, He Jingping, who had been absent for three years, returned to the public eye and guided three Luo Jiu games in a row. In the end, Luo Jiu won the first two foreign games and lost the third civil war.
This also gave He Jingping a lot of negative reviews.
His departure was not an honor at the beginning, but now that he has returned to take charge of Luo Jiu, he lost easily in his first expedition. This made many people feel that Luo Jiu was not worth it.
They think He Jingping is toxic and Luo Jiu should be replaced by a new coach.
After all, in the two games that Luo Jiu won, the opponent was ranked outside the top 100, and in the civil war that Luo Jiu lost, the opponent was just a player who was not outstanding in the national team, ranked more than 30 in the world.
"Luo Jiu used to be at the bottom among the five main players, which was excusable. Now do you even dare to lose to players other than the main players?"
"Have you noticed that Luo Jiu seems to have undergone technical changes again?"
"Yes, yes, Luo Jiu pushed backhand continuously today, which made me mad to death. Where did the beautiful backhand loop go?"
"This must be He Jingping's idea!"
"You can pay attention to the details. The rubber has been replaced on the back of Luo Jiu's racket. Now the rubber is facing up."
"Oh my God, is he going to hit raw rubber? Is he crazy?"
"He Jingping is a misguided disciple!"
"Luo Jiu Why are you so stubborn? You just trust him as a teacher so much."
"Oh, my Xiaojiu, once you see Coach He, you will be mistaken for life."
In the face of abuse and ridicule, He Jingping behaved calmly.
This is very different from what he was seven years ago.
Seven years ago, He Jingping was extremely serious. When someone questioned him, he would work hard to explain and try to convince the other party. When Luo Jiu lost the game, he would directly refuse to be interviewed.
But this time he accepted the interview calmly and said sincerely into the microphone, "Yes, Xiaojiu's technical reform was proposed by me. I am also very happy that he is willing to accept my suggestion again. Finally, I want to say, please be more patient and give us more time. Thank you."
He didn't say anything grand, nor did he say "I will definitely prove myself" as confidently as he did seven years ago. He just put all the criticism on himself.
Wang Chao saw these things through sports news and had some feelings.
Of course, compared to the technical transformation of Luo Jiu and the return of He Jingping, the audience is obviously more interested in the recovery of all members of the China Table Tennis team.
In mid-August, ITTF World Tour and Sun Tianlong participated as seeds in the Austrian station. They entered the main match directly and won all the way without losing a game. Finally, they met their junior brother Lin Li in the finals and defeated Lin Li with a big score of 4:0, completing the return of the king.
A week later, Sun Tianlong qualified to participate in the annual Asian Table Tennis Championships with his high personal world ranking.
The competition was held in Doha, Qatar. Sun Tianlong once again won the championship without losing a game, achieving Asian Championships's third consecutive championship and setting a new record for Asian Championships men's individual singles.
In this Asian Championships men's team competition, Huaguo sent out a veteran lineup of Sun Tianlong, Lin Li, and Xiao Fei. They defeated the Kimchi Country men's team and the Bay Island men's team with a big score of 3:0 and a small score of 4:0, and once again won the championship without losing a game.
By the way, the Asian Championships men's team won eight consecutive championships, breaking the record set by the China Table Tennis team themselves.
In this team competition, Lin Li and Xiao Fei swept away the gloom in the first half of the year and played extremely aggressively, making almost no mistakes in the game.
International Table Tennis Federation's face was slapped loudly.
Because they just chanted half a month ago.
"China's table tennis has entered a decline!"
"Europe is rising!"
But now they are jumping out and chanting again.
"China is invincible in table tennis!"
"Sun Tianlong, a god-like man!"
Wang Chao didn't watch these games because he was very busy and needed to race against time to develop a tacit understanding with Tian Zhengguang and practice doubles.
Fortunately, Tian Zhengguang is no longer awkward.
After helping Wang Chao in a fight, the invisible barrier between the two disappeared unconsciously, and they could finally communicate normally during practice. Occasionally, Tian Zhengguang would take the initiative to ask Wang Chao for some technical details.
He plays much rougher than Lu Jia, and due to his age, his skills have been finalized and it is difficult to improve. However, because his physical fitness is good enough and his offense is rough enough, the effect of pairing with Wang Chao is actually not bad.
The root cause is that Tian Zhengguang is a forehand shot, so Wang Chao is freed and can use its most powerful backhand horizontal plank.
When he is paired with Lu Jia, Lu Jia mainly attacks and he mainly defends.
But when he was paired with Tian Zhengguang, he no longer devoted himself to playing ball for his teammates, but directly assumed half of the offensive tasks. Even for most of the difficult balls, Wang Chao was responsible for taking the lead and seeking the initiative.
The consequence of this is that the error rate of the two has skyrocketed, almost twice what it was before, but the attack power of the two has also skyrocketed, and is more than twice what it was before.
This simple, crude, and unreasonable attack style for Taiwan is quite strange. Basically, you die or I die. It is a bloody mess, but the specific effect after testing is actually better than before, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
Over the next week and a half, Wang Chao led Spade Q to fight three tough battles in a row. The three opponents were Zhejiang Province Lin'an City team "Qiantang Tide Watching Club", Zhejiang Province Ouyue City team "Dongou Tea Industry Club", and Su Province Taihu City team "Taihu Beauty Club".
Yes, you read that right, one team from Jiangsu Province and two Zhejiang Province teams.
Because of the existence of the home and away system, and because China's territory is too vast, the Table Tennis Association officials will try their best to follow the principle of proximity when arranging their troops to avoid letting each team waste too much unnecessary time and energy on the schedule.
All three games were extremely thrilling.
Due to the absence of Geng Shuai, Lu Jia was promoted to the first order, and Wang Chao and Tian Zhengguang served as the second order and the third order.
In this match against Qiantang Tide Watching Club, Lu Jia lost the first game, Wang Chao won the second game, and then won the third doubles game with Tian Zhengguang. After Tian Zhengguang lost the fourth singles game, Lu Jia played in the finale and successfully captured the opponent's three singles. The win was quite easy. In the end, Spade Q narrowly won 3:2.
When playing Dongou Tea Industry Club, Lu Jia still lost the first game, and Wang Chao still won the second and third games. However, in the fourth game, Lu Jia was caught by the opponent again, completing the day's two-game losing streak.
At this time Wang Chao was already in despair.
But in the end, it was Tian Zhengguang who miraculously completed the reversal. He had a bloody battle with the opponent's three singles and each game was extremely difficult. Although this game was purely a game between rookies in Wang Chao's eyes, he had to admit that the atmosphere on the court was so heavy that it was almost stagnant.
The game continued until the fifth game. Tian Zhengguang did not collapse, but the opponent's mentality collapsed in the third single. Tian Zhengguang got the points, and Spade Q once again won with a total score of 3:2, maintaining his undefeated status.
After the game, Fan Xiaoxian determined that Tian Zhengguang and Wang Chao both had the highest contribution, and they shared the 80,000 yuan bonus equally.
So far, Spade Q has won all four rounds, ranking first in the standings, and tied for first place with the champion "Poseidon Club" who also completed four rounds.
The final match with Taihu Beauty Club was relatively uneventful.
Zhu Zehai, the strongest player from Taihu Midea, chose to play in the second single in this game.
Although he has a soft personality, he is also shameless. Zhu Ding came here to train him specially. He had to have a chance with Wang Chao no matter what to prove that the children of Old Zhu's family are not weaklings.
So he was beaten violently by Wang Chao 3:0. He lost miserably, and his mentality collapsed after the beating.
Fortunately, Wang Chao spared his hand at the critical moment of the third game and gave him an 11:1, which was regarded as saving the last leg.
It is worth mentioning that in this round, Lu Jia finally scored in singles, which also led to the game ending directly after three games. Spade Q defeated Taihu Mei 3:0 and won five consecutive victories.
So far, Spade Q's four away games in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been completed.
After today, Spade Q will return to Jiangcheng City. The next few games will be consecutive home games for the club, and the players will feel much more relaxed in all aspects.
This day is the first weekend of September. Athens is thousands of miles away. Another ITTF World Tour match is in progress. Luo Jiu lost to Denmark veteran Christian. Hart in the first round of the main competition and was directly eliminated. It was a huge upset.
That afternoon, public opinion was overwhelming, and most of the blame was directed at Luo Jiu's coach He Jingping.
"What on earth does Cai Guodong do for a living? Is he really a nepotist? The coach wants him to return to the coaching staff for such a problem?"
"My Xiaojiu, who I was so optimistic about back then, has been completely destroyed by his master in the past seven years."
"Technical change? Change your paralysis. Even coaches from small African countries know what raw rubber is, right? Are you asking Luo Jiu to change to raw rubber?"
"He Jingping get out of class is over!"
"He Jingping apologizes to the people of the whole country!"
"He Jingping Get out of Huaping and go to Sakura Country to harm them."
"Sakura Country has not been weak in recent years, how can he like him? Let him go to Africa to bask in the sun!"
The forum is filled with a lot of verbal violence, and only a handful of people will speak up for He Jingping.
For example. "Christian is not a weakling. Luo Jiu is in the process of technological transformation after all. It is normal to lose to him."
But this sentence was slapped in the face by the speed of light.
Just twenty-four hours later, Christian lost to the 38-year-old Zhuang Huishen from Bay Island in the next round.
Zhuang Huishen was also famous back then and was known as Star of Taiwan Island, but he is seven years older than Sun Tianlong. He is now considered to be at the end of his career and has failed to win any major competitions in the past two years.
Such a person swept Christian 4:1, which is equivalent to telling everyone nakedly: It is not that Christian is strong, but Luo Jiu after changing the glue is really weak!
Wang Chao, who had just won five consecutive victories, returned to Jiangcheng's home court. He lay on the bedside and flipped through his mobile phone, looking at these messages and imagining how much pressure He Jingping was under at this moment. He was slightly worried.
Although the dawn is wonderful, the darkness before dawn also becomes deeper.
He was worried that He Jingping would collapse again.
Because past history has proven that He Jingping is not a mature, rational, tough and confident character.
He is the kind of idealist who is full of passion and dreams.
Such people easily go from one extreme to another.
Wang Chao found He Jingping's mobile phone number from the address book. He hesitated with his finger on the button for a long time, but finally did not press it.
Because he suddenly figured out a truth.
He Jingping should have become stronger after experiencing a seven-year collapse.
Although he is the first national coach to take the initiative to express kindness to himself.
But if he still can't overcome his character flaws, then he doesn't have the right to call him a teacher.
After all, I want to take him to get Grand Slam
