111 Return Time
◎ No need for anyone's approval.
In recent years, Song Linzhou and Qin Xiaoba have been a men's doubles team and have achieved many results in some competitions.
Because Song Linzhou is left-handed, he has always been in good shape in doubles, but Zhu Qi knows that the coaching staff actually wants to train Qin Xiaoba to play singles, because many practical experiences in recent years have shown that the left-handed is indeed at a disadvantage against the right-handed in singles.
In fact, Song Linzhou is also one of those who work hard.
When Zhu Qi first learned that Song Linzhou was going to be his mixed doubles partner, he was actually still a bit picky and wanted to find some small mistakes to make Xu Dong break up his mixed doubles.
But later on, he discovered that this kid was quite obedient, coming and going quietly during every training session. He would come to Zhu Qi at a fixed time to give him doubles experience packs, and Zhu Qi would casually give him some suggestions for improving his skills.
Even though He Qianlu came to give me some guidance, I wouldn't have been able to reach this point if I hadn't worked hard.
Reporter Sen next to him also showed Zhu Qi his superb skills in balancing the two. He first described the technical and tactical level of the Hong Kong team, and then began to introduce Song Linzhou and Qin Xiaoba, who were working together this time, at length.
"...Qin Shang, a key player of the current new generation of the men's team, made his mark at the Moscow World Games, achieving impressive feats in both men's doubles and mixed team in his first World Games appearance. In the mixed team, he also served as the first line of defense in men's doubles, achieving a remarkable four-win record out of five matches." After saying this, Sen Qiaobei looked at Zhu Qi and smiled. "And the player sitting next to me, Zhu Qi, is Qin Shang's sister. It's fair to say that this Bayi sibling has dedicated themselves to the national team. So, from the perspective of his sister, who is also a senior player, how close do you think Qin Shang is to securing a spot in the men's singles at the next World Games?"
Zhu Qi smiled. This was the first time she showed a different expression while acting as a commentator. She looked helpless and expectant towards her brother, and acted like an older sister doting on him.
"I think he's one Lu Yaohan and one Song Linzhou away from the men's singles spot."
Zhu Qi made a joke, Sen Qiaobei laughed, and the others outside the glass also smiled.
The two people she mentioned are the gold and silver medalists in the men's singles in Moscow. Wouldn't that be an obstacle for Qin Xiaoba in the next men's singles competition?
"In sports competitions, the capable prevail. If you want a spot, you have to fight for it yourself. Only you know how far you have to go." Zhu Qi's answer made many people outside the glass nod frequently.
After the commentary of the first round of women's singles ended, someone from backstage came over and said that the real-time ratings had exceeded the usual three points and were still rising.
"It's rare to find such a young person with such a broad vision." The assistant outside chatted with the director of the radio station.
The director flipped through the manuscript in his hand, took one ear out of his headphones, and listened to the voice in the mirror with the other. He remembered something: "I heard that the Bayi table tennis team didn't plan to accept female players, but the Bayi team's head coach saw her performance at the Tokyo World Games and decided to add a special female team. It must be the old army commander who has a keen eye for talent."
Zhu Qi was still watching the men's doubles match carefully in the room, completely unaware that people outside were talking about him.
After all, Qin Xiaoba and Song Linzhou are veteran men's doubles players who have partnered for many years, and they performed well in the first game.
But at the beginning of the second game, Fat Tiger and Mori Yunan on the opposite side suddenly began to exert their strength, and the cooperation between the two right-handed men was not inferior to the left-handed combination of Qin Xiaoba and Song Linzhou.
Sen Qiaobei had also heard about Fat Tiger being demoted from the national team back to the provincial team. As a reporter who had worked for the central bank for many years and had a strong professional self-cultivation, he automatically avoided the fact that Fat Tiger had been in the national team when talking about it.
"Although Fat Tiger's name is Fat Tiger, he doesn't look fat. On the contrary, he's very agile. His forehand looks particularly powerful, and his spot-up shots are also good. The two players on the Chinese team seem to have better chemistry. The first game went smoothly, but the second game seemed to be a bit of a tit-for-tat."
Zhu Qi was more forthright: "Actually, when Fat Tiger was on the national team, he was afraid to change his line whenever he encountered a particularly tight contest. Now that he's on the Hong Kong team, I feel like this problem has improved a lot. I guess the Hong Kong team coach has put a lot of effort into him, which is a good thing; his playing style has improved."
In fact, the fact that Fat Tiger was persuaded to quit because of his love affair had already been reported in the newspaper. There was a section in the sports column reserved for the national table tennis team. If there were any major personnel transfers, it would be reported there, and many fans had already known about it.
So Zhu Qi felt that there was no need to hide this matter.
After all, this isn't the era of crackdowns on misconduct like the 1970s and 1980s. Romance among athletes is a common occurrence in other national teams, though the Chinese table tennis team is more stringent in this regard.
When Fat Tiger and Tang Tang were being persuaded to quit, some fans wrote to the General Administration of Sport, asking if it was a time of need and whether they could persuade only one of them to quit.
The result was naturally not acceptable. Ren Xinhua believed that love was a matter between two people and it was impossible to keep only one of them.
Zhu Qi continued to watch the match, analyzing it for the audience. "Actually, Song Linzhou on the court is a veteran penholder. Although he started practicing 'penholder-grip backhand' midway through, he still retains the characteristics of a penholder's close-to-table, fast attack, primarily pushing left and attacking right. Initially, it was because of this that he wasn't allowed to practice looping, but instead continued to maintain his penholder characteristics. As time went on, we discovered that while he couldn't loop, he had excellent defensive abilities. He usually plays close to the table in singles, but mid- to long-range in doubles..."
In fact, this habit was developed when I started playing mixed doubles with Zhu Qi.
Because Zhu Qi is a close-table player, the middle and far-range positions will definitely be vacant, and naturally Song Linzhou will have to fill the position.
There is a very important reason why straight-blade rackets are not suitable for playing long-range shots, that is, the backhand technique of straight-blade rackets is not good. If the opponent hits the ball with the backhand far, the chance of hitting the table may not be guaranteed.
However, after Song Linzhou started practicing straight-blade horizontal hitting, this problem improved a little.
His forehand can also be used as a backhand.
"After joining the Hong Kong team, Fat Tiger also started practicing his looping shots." Zhu Qi observed the semicircular arcs flying back and forth on the court, his tone calm. "The second game was relatively ordinary for the Chinese team, lacking the momentum of the first. Fat Tiger's style is actually an all-out attack, and his defensive and ball-saving abilities are average. But Qin Shang clearly didn't dare to attack when he should have, which led to him being led by the nose."
Commentators like Sen Qiaobei usually speak in a more tactful way when analyzing a game, so fans often don't find it very interesting, feeling that the words they use are too gorgeous and gentle.
But competition is all about blood.
It is precisely Zhu Qi's words that are sharp and to the point, which makes more people find them interesting.
In the second game of men's doubles, the Hong Kong team took a three-point lead and was the first to get the match point.
Next is Song Linzhou's turn to serve.
Everyone watched the white ball flying on the screen, starting from rubbing against Song Linzhou's paddle, then jumping over the net and landing steadily in the corner of the table at the opposite edge.
Zhu Qi exclaimed in praise: "This ball is good."
Sen Qiaobei asked, "This serve is the same as your baseline serve. A previous report called it a 'bird dive.' It's a compliment to the way your serve bounces off the ball, almost sticking to the table, making it very difficult for your opponent to return. Now it seems like Song Linzhou's baseline serve is also of very high quality. Did you teach him?"
He was actually just asking jokingly. There are many people who can serve the ball quickly beyond the baseline, but Zhu Qi's serve quality is better.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qi nodded and continued, "I taught him some serving techniques a long time ago. It's very difficult to hit high-quality balls over the baseline with a straight racket. The most important thing about Song Linzhou's effectiveness is that he dares to shoot and hit long balls on the opponent's match point."
This touched upon Sen Qiaobei's blind spot. He asked, "Why do you say that?"
"There are three key aspects of a good serve. One is concealment... Of course, I'm not talking about obstructed serves. Rather, it's about delivering a serve that's so smooth that the opponent can see the entire serve, making it impossible for them to determine the spin. For example, there's the hook shot that Maomao likes to use, or the "no-spin" serve that Big Bear likes to use, which is a counter-spin serve. They all have the same paddle shape and friction, but different spin when delivered.
One popular technique is the short-ball swing. When watching a match, you'll notice that both the server and receiver will first "flip" a few short balls near the net, then gradually increase the distance from the table, moving around mid-range and further. This short-ball approach may seem playful, but it actually requires a lot of fundamental skill. Because the ball is so close to the net, a high shot can easily be smashed, while a short return shot can easily hit the net. Therefore, when the ball is short, the server takes the initiative, forcing the receiver to be passive and reluctant to increase the distance from the table.
I also like to use over-the-baseline serves. Even though they're close to the table, I never use them on match point. Because they're long balls, and if the opponent can predict where the ball will land, it's easy for them to 'catch' them.
Sen Qiaobei nodded repeatedly and exclaimed, "I see. So, if you proactively give the opponent a long ball, they'll easily counterattack, which will put you on the defensive and hinder your scoring chances?"
"That's right." Zhu Qi's eyes followed the small white ball on the screen. When the ball bounced off the table on the Hong Kong team's side, and the Chinese team caught up to one point, he was very sure of Song Linzhou's shot. "Although we were still two points behind, this shot was quite inspiring."
Sen Qiaobei asked, "When I saw you and Song Linzhou playing mixed doubles before, you were usually the more aggressive one, and he was helping you with the back-pass. But I noticed that when he played his own men's singles or men's doubles, he was actually more of a dominant player, which was different from when he played mixed doubles with you. Do you understand the doubles training method on the men's team?"
"I haven't seen much men's doubles practice, but when I first started practicing doubles, my coach, Coach Xu, told me that doubles is all about making the sum of one and being greater than two. And I'm the type of person who doesn't really like to be told what to do, so when they're paired with me in mixed doubles or women's doubles, they usually listen to me. So Song Linzhou might be more... modest? But Qin Shang isn't like that. When he gets carried away, he starts playing recklessly. He needs someone to guide him and keep him from getting too out of line."
Zhu Qi just finished speaking.
Qin Xiaoba lost a ball.
The second game was won by the Hong Kong team.
Halftime break.
Zhu Qi found it very interesting to see Gao Xiaofeng standing in front of Qin Xiaoba and Song Linzhou, dancing with joy.
When he first joined the national team, Gao Xiaofeng was the captain of the men's team and the team's big brother. He was so full of energy at that time, and he had an aura when he walked at the front of the team. Now, looking at Qin Xiaoba in front of him, he couldn't wait to pick up the racket and go to the court to play for Qin Xiaoba.
Zhu Qi knew that Gao Xiaofeng had put a lot of effort into training Qin Xiaoba.
In fact, after Qin Xiaoba came back from France, he was not as impetuous as before. He was more attentive when practicing, but many details of the ball were still handled a bit roughly.
Zhu Qi, watching from outside the screen, was also anxious, unable to hold back and yelling several times, "How can this ball be received like this? It's a sideways, forward drive. If you receive it like this, won't it just rush out and give the opponent a chance to hit the ball?" But after yelling, Zhu Qi suddenly realized that he was on a live broadcast and quickly suppressed his rude words, softening his tone. "If it were me, I would just cut the ball to transition and try to pull out a few more rounds."
Qin Xiaoba was obviously anxious. After hitting the ball, he gave Sen Yunan an opportunity. Sen Yunan attacked with a backhand diagonal ball, and Song Linzhou failed to catch it.
Sen Qiaobei saw Zhu Qi trying not to curse and smiled, "So maybe everyone thinks singles Grand Slams are impressive, but doubles actually has a lot more tactical potential. And from what I've heard, it seems many fans who are new to table tennis prefer watching doubles because the coordination between the four players pulling the ball is more interesting to watch."
When Qin Xiaoba and Song Linzhou played men's doubles, it was usually Qin Xiaoba who set the ball for Song Linzhou. So Zhu Qi put himself in Song Linzhou's shoes and thought that Qin Xiaoba's set was not good.
But unexpectedly, starting from the third game, the men's doubles playing style of the Qin Song combination changed.
Song Linzhou began to move backward, allowing Qin Xiaoba to jump left and right near the table.
Four words appeared in Zhu Qi's mind - change of lineup.
In doubles, there is one person who is the mastermind and makes the other person cooperate with him. Before, it was Qin Xiaoba cooperating with Song Linzhou, but now the two have switched places.
When seeing Qin Xiaoba start to be mainly responsible for output, Zhu Qi suddenly understood Gao Xiaofeng's intention of arranging this tactic for the two people.
Qin Xiaoba was young, after all, and had become quite aggressive in his game since returning from France. Asking him to constantly be behind Song Linzhou and pass the ball to him was like locking a wolf cub in a cage and asking him to treat it like a pet, just for viewing.
After entering the passing phase, Song Linzhou seemed to have entered a comfort zone and began to mainly create scoring opportunities for Qin Xiaoba.
Qin Xiaoba made several consecutive attacks from the back and the side, and finally followed up with a dragon's tail swing and a sideways burst, and he actually caught up with a few points.
Red flags were waving at the scene and there was applause.
Song Linzhou's forehand can be used as a backhand. He always keeps the red rubber facing outwards, and his rose-red jersey gives him a sparkling look.
After the two boys scored, they bumped fists with each other, then continued to lean over the edge of the table, staring at the white ball coming from the opposite side at the same level as the net, like beasts waiting for an opportunity in the jungle.
The scores began to rise gradually.
Qin and Song played more and more smoothly. After Gao Xiaofeng's "talk therapy", they found the defensive blind spots of the two opponents and began to frantically attack the overlapping parts of the opponents' two right hands.
The sister in the camera showed a satisfied smile, and the aunt and uncle outside the camera also showed relieved expressions.
"This little bastard is really fighting well now." My uncle-in-law was very happy and drank the beer bottle in his hand.
Young teenagers ran and jumped on the court, their bodies tensed with energy, their thin skin wrapped around their tight muscles, and their bones stretched to the maximum with every swing of the racket.
Qin Xiaoba gets very excited whenever he scores, and he's also a player who relies on his touch. As long as he plays smoothly, he can immediately expand his advantage in the game. As soon as the opponent serves with a backhand, he'll follow up with a short or long serve to mobilize the other player on the opposite side.
Although the Zhongjian Port team also tried hard to score a few more goals, Song Linzhou's defense at the back was too good. As long as Qin Xiaoba did not make any major mistakes, the opponent would not be able to score.
The game was quite evenly fought, and in the end Qin and Song won with a score of [4:2].
After the four players shook hands, Song Linzhou and Qin Xiaoba, towels draped around their necks, chatted and laughed as they prepared to leave the court. Qin Xiaoba was the happiest among them, probably because he had played very well in this game and was very happy.
Both of their hair were soaked with sweat and hung behind their heads, making them look like a wet lamb and a wet wolf cub.
When Zhu Qi looked up, he suddenly discovered that when Qin Xiaoba was grabbing his hair with a towel, a small part of his hair was exposed under the wrong color, a little brown... ?
Grass.
This kid actually dyed his hair secretly!
/
The national table tennis team has a rule that players are not allowed to pay too much attention to their attire. Because the uniforms are uniform, it's OK for players to train on their own within the national team, but when they go out, they must wear the same uniform. Before the 1980s, they were even required to have a uniform hairstyle.
In the early 1990s, there were already many barbershops that offered to perm and dye hair, but because the national team had strict regulations, no one dared to do so.
Qin Xiaoba dyed his hair very cleverly. He didn't dye it on the outside, but inside the first layer of hair.
With the development of the information age, many new foreign things have begun to flood into China. Many TV channels can receive TV dramas produced in Japan and South Korea. There is no ban on South Korea these days. Many people see people from Japan and South Korea and want to imitate their fashionable outfits.
Zhu Qi could understand the young people of today, especially Qin Xiaoba, who was only 20 years old and loved to dress up and look cool. The dyed area was covered by the hair above, and could only be seen by lifting the hair. The hair was dyed darker, and if you didn't look closely, it would be almost the same as black hair. The coaches probably didn't notice it. Otherwise, given Ren Xinhua's personality, they would definitely pull Qin Xiaoba away and shave his head.
As soon as the game was over, Zhu Qi took advantage of the break to run to the bathroom next door and call Qin Xiaoba.
As soon as Qin Xiaoba answered the phone, he said proudly, "How's it going? I played well in those two rounds, didn't I?"
"Hurry up and dye that tuft of hair back!" Zhu Qi ordered.
"Hey? How did you know? Did Big Antelope betray me?!"
"I just saw it on camera! I'm telling you, just because the coaches don't know now doesn't mean they won't know after watching the video. Dye your hair back before the chairman gets mad, or you'll be suspended again!"
"Oh, it's not that serious. I only dyed it because I saw someone on the badminton team doing it, and their coach didn't say anything."
"They're theirs, and we're us. Are you a table tennis player or a badminton player? What are you competing with?" Zhu Qi knew immediately that the boy was reluctant, and his tone was serious. "I thought you were a little more motivated after returning from France. Are you thinking that winning two World Games gold medals has caused you to fall back into your old habits?"
Zhu Qi naturally knew that Ren Xinhua was strict in his management. The entire national table tennis team was almost under semi-militarized management. Sometimes even Zhu Qi felt that some of the rules were indeed too harsh. During the World Games cycle, even the time spent on phone calls with family members had to be recorded.
Athletes must devote themselves fully to preparing for the competition and not allow any distraction.
I practice basketball every morning from the moment I open my eyes to the moment I go to bed at night. Even what I talk in my dreams is about the game.
When training frantically, many players would be stunned for a moment when asked about their parents' names. But when asked about the names of foreign players, their playing styles and nationalities, they could easily come up with them.
Under such high pressure, many people inevitably want to find some other fun.
However, as someone who had witnessed the "12 Dark Years of Chinese Table Tennis", Zhu Qi digested it himself and could understand Ren Xinhua's harshness.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
You have to choose between performance and freedom.
"I know, I know. When I return to Jianghuai after the World Cup, you just watch me get my hair done. Is that okay?" Qin Xiaoba grumbled for a while, then hung up the phone with an unhappy look on his face.
Seeing the expression on Qin Xiaoba's face change from excitement to loss of consciousness and resentment, Ah Shui walked over and laughed at him: "See, I told you, your sister will definitely let you dye it back."
Qin Xiaoba was actually a bit conceited when he first dyed his hair, wanting to follow the trend. But afterward, he felt less excited and less excited than he'd imagined. But because there was something about his body that was different than usual, and because he found the ability to outsmart the coaches so fascinating, he decided to put it off for as long as possible.
A Shui could actually understand Qin Xiaoba's feelings. The days of training in the national team were too boring and tedious.
Especially since Baobao went back to treat his foot injury, and Maomao, as the captain of the women's team, had a lot of things to do, A Shui began to feel bored again, and occasionally wanted to find some spice for himself.
Ah Shui sat down next to Qin Xiaoba and said soothingly, "Come on, stop looking so sad. You know your sister's personality. She's tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and she's not good at praising people in person. But she was actually watching your match just now, and it was even broadcast live on CCTV. She praised you quite a bit throughout."
A Shui stretched out the last syllable, deliberately teasing him.
This kid has grown taller but not smarter over the years. He is still a stupid brother who craves praise from his sister whenever he achieves a little success.
Ah Shui thought he was both funny and sad, and suddenly she could empathize with Qin Xiaoba a little, because she knew that the last time the siblings had quarreled, Baobao had actually wronged Qin Xiaoba.
It's not that he has no sense of responsibility, he just feels that there are people in front of him who are not needed, so he is a little discouraged.
Ah Shui had felt this way before.
When Baobao and I were both following Coach Xu, seeing how much Coach Xu cared about Baobao, with three training sessions a day and two hours out of each three hours spent on Baobao, with the remaining time given to himself and other members, Ah Shui would occasionally feel a little frustrated.
Of course, this emotion is just a little bit.
A Shui also knew that Bao Bao had joined the team with a card. If he were a coach, he would definitely work hard to cultivate such a player.
As an athlete, who doesn’t want to be the one standing on the podium in the end?
Seeing Ah Shui come to comfort him, Qin Xiaoba was no longer as rude as he used to be. He looked at Ah Shui, who he could call his childhood sweetheart, and suddenly asked in a serious tone, "How come I've never seen your family come to watch a game? Don't you care what they think of you?"
It’s strange to say, but A Shui’s parents have been doing business outside, and everyone knows this.
Although A Shui's family is not short of money, A Shui is a gold medalist in the World Games after all.
After knowing that Maomao has finished the game, Maomao's parents will travel thousands of miles to visit the national team.
Even though they did not participate in the World Games this time, the players who went to Moscow for training talked a lot about it with their families after returning. They felt very happy that they could contribute to the national table tennis championship winning six gold medals.
But A Shui has never spoken to his family on the phone, nor has he heard any praise or encouragement from his family, nor has he seen A Shui's parents come to visit the national team.
A Shui didn't want to go home during the Chinese New Year, saying that his parents were not in Shanghai and if he went back he could only live with his grandparents.
But her grandparents had other children, and the whole family consisted of aunts and uncles and their children. She felt like an outsider, and it was boring to go back. So when she first joined the national team, she lost money gambling and was too embarrassed to ask her family for money because she couldn't really contact her parents, and she didn't want to ask her grandparents for money.
A Shui has joked several times that he was lucky to have chosen to practice table tennis. He joined the provincial team and then the national team when he was very young, and was able to stay outside and live with many teammates. Otherwise, no matter how much money his parents made, he would just be living under someone else's roof.
She shook her head. "They don't care about my performance in table tennis. All they care about is making money."
"How could this happen?" Qin Xiaoba found it unreasonable. "You're the only daughter in your family, after all. And even if your parents are busy with business, they must watch the news. Even if they don't, they're bound to know about a major event like the World Games, right? Even if they don't care about your performance, when they brag about it in business, they always mention that they have a daughter who's doing pretty well on the national team and even participated in the World Games and won two gold medals, right?"
Ah Shui shook his head and smiled brightly: "It doesn't matter. I play because I like it and to realize my dreams. My own personal value does not need anyone's recognition."
Qin Xiaoba nodded slightly and reached out to touch Ah Shui's hand: "Not bad, not bad. You speak very philosophically. You have grown up."
"Get away! Don't touch me with your sweaty hands!"
A Shui reached out and opened Qin Xiaoba's hand. When Qin Xiaoba opened his palm, he found a blood stain on the palm and was shocked.
"Where are you bleeding? Let me see!"
"No." Ah Shui took a look at his body and found that two drops of blood had dripped from his body at some point. When he spread out his palm, he found that the skin of his index finger and middle finger was bleeding.
I've been practicing too hard lately and have developed a lot of blisters on my hands, which I accidentally squeezed open just now.
Table tennis players' palms are rough and covered in calluses. Zhu Qi had also developed blisters while practicing, and since then, many people have been carrying Band-Aids in their bags.
Qin Xiaoba took out an unopened bottle of mineral water and helped A Shui wash the blood off his palms. Then he searched around but couldn't find a towel, so A Shui could only rub it on his coat.
When Qin Xiaoba was bandaging A Shui's fingers, he looked at the two Band-Aids on A Shui's fingers and began to carefully think about what A Shui had just said.
"You said my sister has already won all the honors she deserves: the youngest gold medalist at 15, the youngest Grand Slam winner at 21. Such achievements don't need recognition from anyone anymore, so why is she still working so hard?"
"For the national team," Ah Shui said. "I'm very self-aware. I definitely can't achieve the same results as her right now. If Bao Bao doesn't fight hard, who will take over from the women's team? And..."
A Shui felt that Zhu Qi’s inner demons had not been completely let go.
As long as you don't retire, the game will never end.
But Ah Shui didn't notice when she left, and she put her coat into Qin Xiaoba's bag. The two of them signed up for the mixed doubles of the World Championship Cup. On the second day of the game, they happened to face two new mixed doubles players from the Japanese team. Because Ah Shui had blisters on her hands, the game was very difficult and she almost lost to the Japanese team.
Zhu Qi was also thrilled watching this in the director's room.
Although Qin Xiaoba and A Shui have formed a mixed doubles team several times, most of the time they have been practicing with each other and have played together in mixed teams a few times.
This was the first time for the two of them to participate in a world-class competition as mixed doubles. Zhu Qi had a hunch that if the two of them played well together, they might replace himself and Song Linzhou in the future and participate in the next World Games.
The competition lasted three days, and almost all the events went to the final.
Maomao performed very well in the World Cup this time and did not seem to be affected by his waist injury. I don't know whether the conservative treatment during this period was effective or he had another blocking injection.
This was the first time that Sasa and Youyou participated in the World Cup, and it was also a training match. It was a pity that they only made it to the quarterfinals.
Young players still need to continue to gain experience.
Fortunately, both the women's and men's singles held on, and Maomao won the gold throne for the second time. In the men's singles, Song Linzhou and Japan's Matsukaze Ikto reached the finals.
It's quite strange to say.
Daxiong always lost more than he won against Songfeng Yidou, but Songfeng Yidou almost never won against Song Linzhou, and Song Linzhou also had a very difficult time against Daxiong. These three people seemed to form a vicious circle, checking and balancing each other.
In the end, Song Linzhou defeated Kazi Ge with a score of [4:3] after another hard-fought seven games.
The World Cup came to an end on the last day, and everyone's joyful expressions lingered on the screen.
When Zhu Qi watched it, she felt that it was different from when she was competing herself. She still preferred to stand next to the table and sweat.
The bandage on his foot had long been removed, and after training with the provincial team for over a month, Zhu Qi felt that there was nothing wrong with him and that his recovery was going well.
At the end of the last day of competition, Zhu Qi sent a text message to Ren Xinhua, hoping that he would be allowed to return to the team as soon as possible.
Ren Xinhua replied with a text message, saying that he would contact Zhu Qi's doctor and approve his return time after confirming that there was no problem.
Zhu Qi sat at home and waited quietly.
The inner demon that Ah Shui mentioned soon surfaced.
As the World Cup entered the countdown to its end, Zhu Qi's passionate commentary in front of the CCTV radio station and a report related to Zhu Qi were quietly spreading in local newsstands.
——【On the road to becoming a Grand Slam winner for an orphan girl who lost her mother and was separated from her father.】
