Regarding the Denmark competition that year, there was still a lack of an ending.
Hart reached the finals, but was beaten by Lin Li, who was waiting there, with a score of 4:0. The Copenhagen Royal Arena, which was bustling with people the day before, turned into a quiet library that day.
Lin Li established his position with this battle. From then on, he became more and more courageous until he became one of the five main players in national table tennis.
Qin Huachang, who was vaguely known as the "No. 1 coach of Chinese Table Tennis", also consolidated his position because of the discovery and training of Lin Li, becoming the undoubted No. 1 coach of Chinese Table Tennis and even the No. 1 coach in the world.
The story was almost finished here. Wang Chao asked, "Do you have any way to solve the problem of Brother Geng?"
Qin Huachang couldn't help laughing, "You dare to ask, do you really think I am omnipotent? Psychological fear can only be overcome by oneself. It took him six years to overcome it. I think there is no hope in this life."
Wang Chao was a little unwilling and said, "Then can you tell me who was the head coach of Brother Geng back then?"
"What are you doing, are you trying to get an explanation for Geng Shuai?" Qin Huachang sneered, "This is no secret. The person in charge of him at that time was Wang Lu, and Bai Feng, the number one straight person today, is his disciple. If you really want to find him, I can call him now."
Wang Chao is certainly not so arrogant.
Emotionally, he felt that Coach Wang Lu was a little cold, but intellectually, Wang Chao understood.
National team coaches are generally under great pressure and have a huge workload. All their thoughts are tied to their disciples. Almost all of them are "bad men" who are worthy of the country and unworthy of their families.
When Geng Shuai was returned to the provincial team, Coach Wang Lu had to take over a new disciple, and his energy did not allow him to pay too much attention to Geng Shuai, an abandoned child.
The most important thing is that Geng Shuai's fatal weakness has been witnessed by the world table tennis world. If he goes abroad to compete again in the future, he will be targeted to death without any possibility of winning.
Therefore, in Wang Lu's view, Geng Shuai has no value.
In fact, Geng Shuai later only played for Table Tennis Super League for one year before giving up, because Table Tennis Super League has a large number of national players, and the national players have enough solid basic skills to guide the situation to the "high ball" stage when playing against Geng Shuai, which infinitely stimulates Geng Shuai's fragile nerves.
So Geng Shuai came to the lower-level Table Tennis First Division, because even if the players here know their weaknesses, they can't stop their violent attacks and have no ability to drag the situation to the "high ball" stage.
Zhu Ding is aware of Geng Shuai's flaws, but he is too proud to be so utilitarian. He can defeat Geng Shuai who is now a walking zombie with his hard power.
Wang Chao suddenly became enlightened at this moment and figured out some questions that had been lingering in his heart for a long time.
Why did Geng Shuai continue to act badly in the past six years, and the Fan brothers and sisters never interfered with him?
Just because he was a national player?
Obviously impossible.
Just because he can score a point consistently?
Of course it's impossible.
Therefore, there should be a key figure among them. He has great face. He helped Geng Shuai when he was most confused, introduced Geng Shuai to Spade Q, asked the Fan brothers and sisters to take Geng Shuai in, and gave Geng Shuai the most relaxed environment so that he could continue to play.
Does this scene look familiar?
In fact, when Spade Q was in a difficult period this year, it was this person who helped bring Wang Chao in and saved the club.
This person likes to be nosy, and has a big mouth that can't hide his words.
This person is Luo Jiu.
Qin Huachang came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He took a taxi and went straight to Jiangcheng High-speed Railway Station.
Before leaving, he told Wang Chao the truth.
Of course it was impossible for a big boss like him to make a special trip to poach He Jingping. He just wanted to go to Xiangnan Province Liancheng City City. He suddenly thought that someone He Jingping had mentioned to him was in Jiangcheng, so he got off the car on the way to take a look.
He came quietly and left quietly, just to see the excitement and find out what kind of person He Jingping's young junior brother from the Zhu family was who he was crazily praising.
But after watching the two games between Wang Chao and Duck Head Club today, he saw something that others couldn't see.
He was tempted to accept a disciple, temporarily contacted Fan Xiaoxian, and finally appeared in front of Wang Chao.
"Actually, before I met you, I already had a candidate for the junior brother of Qin Clan in my mind, and he is exactly the one who is still in Liancheng City City."
Qin Huachang actually showed some distress when he said this, "But trying to convince him to go to the imperial capital with me is difficult, difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven..."
Wang Chao was very surprised. Apart from himself, could anyone else in this world refuse Qin Huachang's invitation?
But when asked again, Qin Huachang refused to say anything.
In the next week, Spade Q played two home games. Their opponents were teams from Shandong Province and Tianjin City. Both teams were at the mid-to-upper level. However, with the normal performance of Geng Shuai and Wang Chao, Spade Q continued to win two consecutive games.
At this point, Spade Q has completed eight consecutive victories and ranks first in the standings with last year's champion team Poseidon Club.
But then comes the real hard nut.
The three remaining teams in the first round are none other than the famous "Northeastern Big Three."
Heishui Province, Bingcheng City, Bingcheng Pharmaceutical Club.
Ji Province, Chuncheng City, Jingyuewan Club.
Liao Province, Bin City, Poseidon Club.
Northeasterners are generally tall and have long legs. Over the years, sports talents have emerged in large numbers. It is also a traditionally strong province in the field of table tennis. For example, Osmanthus Fragrance's previous single Yoshikawa Hiroshi was definitely not weak in strength, but last year he could only play second singles in Jingyuewan Club.
Because Jingyue Bay has a stronger single player, and he is also the only active national team member in the current Table Tennis First Division team, chipper Niu Linjun.
Bingcheng Pharmaceutical Club was the runner-up of last year's Table Tennis First Division. They played 3:2 with the eventual champion Poseidon Club in the playoff finals, but lost narrowly.
Not to mention Poseidon Club, there is Great Demon King Zhu Ding who has been recognized as the number one master of Table Tennis First Division for the past six years.
It is said that the national team has recruited Zhu Ding many times in the past six years and wants him to play in international competitions. It can be seen that Zhu Ding has always maintained a strong strength at the national team level.
But for some reason, Zhu Ding refused all calls.
In mid-September, everyone at Spade Q took the high-speed train to the Northeast, preparing to meet the three strongest teams in the first round of this season.
This time he still didn't fly, and Fan Xiaoxian still didn't explain, but Wang Chao already knew the reason: Geng Shuai was afraid of heights.
The spring city in September is extremely comfortable. The sun is bright during the day, but it is warm, not hot. When the sun sets, it is slightly cool, but only cool, far from the coolness of autumn.
Everyone arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon and settled in their accommodation accompanied by Jingyuewan Club staff. They planned to go to the training ground to gather, but as soon as they reached the corridor, they found that the atmosphere was not right.
A royal sister who was about the same age as Fan Xiaoxian was the first to block the door. She had dyed a very rare short red hair, which looked like a burning flame. With her cold and arrogant beautiful face, she was full of aura and intimidated the entire audience.
Behind her, there were five tall Northeastern mens lined up in a row. They all held their arms and raised their nostrils to the sky, squinting at the Spade Q group who walked in while chatting and laughing with arrogant and domineering eyes.
One woman and five men blocked the entrance.
Fan Xiaoxian stopped suddenly, raised his hands and shouted, "Stop."
Everyone's chatter and laughter stopped abruptly.
Fan Xiaoxian looked at the short-haired lady opposite and said coldly, "Get out of the way."
The red-haired imperial sister neither paid attention nor moved out of the way. Instead, the five big men behind her burst into laughter, with an extremely obvious look of ridicule on their faces.
Wang Chao, who was standing at the back of the team, frowned slightly at this moment.
Are the Northeastern teams in this world so direct?
Are you trying to give Spade Q a head start before the competition?
But I don't know how to give it? Make things difficult by the rules, or simply PK with real people?
At this time Tian Zhengguang took a step forward and squeezed to the front.
Yes, facing this scene, Tian Zhengguang's DNA moved uncontrollably. He remembered the battle that Nanjing City had in the alley one night. He was so excited that day that he fought so happily. In the end, not only was there no punishment, but he got a big red envelope.
So this time, he was secretly estimating how much money I would get if I knocked down everyone on the other side in three minutes?
Fan Xiaoxian said again, "Why, you can't afford it?"
The lady opposite finally spoke and sneered, "Who knows who can't afford it?"
Fan Xiaoxian hummed. "Okay, then you draw the line."
The red-haired lady took out a women's cigarette from the cigarette case in her hand, and the big man beside her immediately offered her a lighter to light it. She took a deep breath, puffed out her eyes gracefully, held the cigarette between her fingers, lazily raised a slender index finger painted with bright red nail polish, and said, "One box?"
Fan Xiaoxian shook his head. "Two boxes."
The red-haired lady gently blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Three boxes."
Fan Xiaoxian sneered, "Four boxes."
The red-haired lady also sneered, "Xiao Xian'er, you have to be self-aware. Are you sure you can handle four boxes?"
Fan Xiaoxian said, "Fang Yuan, why do you talk so much nonsense? Just tell me, do you want to follow me?"
"Of course I dare to follow. We Northeastern men have never been afraid of anyone." The red-haired sister laughed, "In that case, I will add three more bottles to you, white ones, above 60 degrees. Do you dare to follow?"
Fan Xiaoxian didn't say anything for a while, then suddenly shook his head, smiled to himself, and strode forward. Tian Zhengguang was afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurried to follow, but was pushed back by Fan Xiaoxian. She walked in front of Fang Yuan, and suddenly the two of them reached out and hugged each other.
Fan Xiaoxian slapped the opponent's back with a loud bang, and laughed and cursed, "Damn girl, didn't you see that I have three new team members today? Can't you save some face for me and let me show off?"
Fang Yuan let out a hearty laugh, "Anything else will do, but this really won't do. We Northeasterners can lose on the court, but we can never lose in the wine shop!"
The deliberately created tension in the training hall collapsed in an instant. The Northeastern men with arms crossed all laughed. They enthusiastically greeted Spade Q with their hands raised, and began to shake hands with everyone Spade Q one by one.
Just looking at the warm faces of Geng Shuai and Lu Jia, you know that they must have been acquaintances with each other for a long time.
Wang Chao and Gao Ming looked at each other, both dumbfounded.
Tian Zhengguang was a little embarrassed. He secretly unclenched his clenched fists and stepped back...
Obviously, the other party was just joking, and the team leader Fang Yuan seemed to have a pretty good relationship with his own team leader Sister Xian.
"This is my college classmate and my best friend, Fang Yuan." Fan Xiaoxian took the red-haired sister and introduced him to his new team members, "We have a close friendship. When you come to Jingyue Bay, you will feel like you are home. Don't be restrained. If you have any requests, feel free to ask them. Don't be polite to these guys."
Fang Yuan nodded and punched Fan Xiaoxian on the shoulder. This masculine action was performed by a strong and beautiful lady, which was quite cute in contrast. She raised her head at Wang Chao and raised her eyebrows, full of heroism, and put her slender finger on Fan Xiaoxian's chin. "As you can see, this is my wife, hahahaha."
