132 Love Bodyguard
◎Products carefully selected by our younger brother with strict control over all details◎
Ren Xinhua needs to make drastic adjustments to the training of the men's team to address a series of problems currently faced by the team, including "fluctuating form", "technical bottlenecks for senior players", and "stage fright for junior players".
When this news reached the men's team, everyone wailed for a long time.
Although the women's team has performed very stably in all aspects in the past two years and basically won the gold, silver and bronze medals in Asian competitions, Maomao's back injury recurred and he had to rest for two months, and Zhu Qi's right foot was swollen due to overload.
Including Ah Shui, as the number of competitions increased, he grew older, and the training was too strenuous, he also began to suffer from some strain.
Fortunately, we can now go out for half a day every week. Zhu Qi and others go to the hospital for timely diagnosis and treatment, and all aspects of the symptoms have been slightly relieved.
Although the women's team has some "injuries", at least the results have been very stable.
It's better than the men's team who keep complaining about how uncomfortable they are and how unhappy they are, and then often lose half the zone.
After the men's team's "improvement plan" began, the first thing that was restructured was the men's team's daily training volume, which was increased by 10 to 20 percent compared to usual.
My morning run of 8,000 meters was turned into 10,000 meters, ten sets of serves became twelve, four sets of pull-ups became six, and multi-ball training went from two hours a day to three hours...
In addition, the national team also purchased an ultra-low temperature cryotherapy device from Japan at a high price and placed it in the medical room.
Ah Shui was so curious that he pulled Zhu Qi and Maomao over to see what it was.
When I saw it, I noticed it had a strange, high-tech feel. A string of numbers flickered on the metal barrel. The staff nearby were adjusting various settings, and then, as if they had pressed some button, a puff of white smoke erupted.
"Wow, this cigarette is so cold!" Ah Shui shivered in the hot summer.
"This is liquid nitrogen," Zhu Qi explained. The club had bought this before. It was invented in Japan in the 1970s specifically for athletes. "This nitrogen vapor comes into direct contact with the skin, causing the blood vessels in the body to constrict. Then, as the temperature rises, the blood vessels dilate again. This activates the secretion of various factors and hormones, which speeds up the body's metabolism."
"Ah? What's the use of this?" A Shui didn't quite understand.
Maomao summarized, "This machine can speed up the body's recovery and is effective for muscle strains and injuries. If you strain a muscle during practice, freeze it in there for a while before taking it out, and it'll heal even faster."
Ah Shui showed an "I see" expression: "I see, the Japanese are quite smart when it comes to tinkering with these things..."
After watching the show with great interest, the girls were about to leave when they suddenly noticed that there was a person not far behind them.
I don't know when Mori Yunan stood here. Judging from the basketball bag in his hand, he was probably passing by the gym.
He said: "Now many people in the NBA use this, but it can only play a role in early relief. If you encounter a particularly serious injury, you still have to go through routine surgery."
Ah Shui greeted him with a smile: "Hey, you know quite a lot. Have you used it before?"
Mori Yunan shook his head and said, "But I've seen people use it. My brother's parents are doctors, and they also bought one of these cold therapy devices."
The brother that Mori Yunan is talking about is reporter Mori.
After Huang Jiajia came to the national team, she often chatted with A Shui about things in Zhuhai and Hong Kong, mostly about various delicacies, which made A Shui drool every day.
Although I have been to Zhugang to play games several times, I have never had a good time in Zhugang.
Ah Shui was also curious about Zhugang, and asked about Fat Tiger's subsequent development in the Hong Kong team and the current personnel configuration of the Hong Kong team.
Mori Yunan answered everything, even telling how he started practicing horizontal board from scratch when he was in the Hong Kong team.
"Actually, there is no other training method. I just threw away all the previous techniques and basics, and started practicing horizontal board from the most basic racket posture to swinging the racket." Mori Yunan said it lightly.
But A Shui also really started from scratch to practice playing with his right hand, and he knows how much sweat and effort are contained in this simple sentence.
Starting from the basics is boring and tedious.
They are obviously veterans who have played for many years, but they still have to start from the most basic swing of the racket like those who can't even get into the city team.
It’s the mind that’s enduring this hardship!
What's better about A Shui than Mori Yunan is that even if she can't practice her right hand well, it doesn't prevent her from playing with her left hand.
But if Mori Yunan doesn't practice the horizontal racket well, he really won't be able to find his original straight racket again, and will be completely out of the competition.
Zhu Qi also found it magical when he listened from the side.
She had been curious about how Mori Yunan did this before, and thought that the Hong Kong team coaches might have some other training methods that allowed Mori Yunan to quickly master the horizontal board.
But now it seems that there are people who really dare to "disarm themselves".
As the younger brother of reporter Mori, since Mori Yunan joined the national team, reporter Mori has often come over from time to time under the pretext of interviewing the national team to check on his younger brother's training and have a few discussions with Ren Xinhua.
There is a chance that Zhu Qi will also be listening nearby.
Listening to what reporter Mori said, Zhu Qi felt a bit like he was asking on behalf of his brother whether Mori Yunan could be transferred from the Hong Kong team to the Chinese team.
In the past two years with the Chinese team, Mori Yunan can be said to be the most hardworking among this group of "international students".
The other three have not been able to fully keep up with the national team's high-intensity training plan until now.
Because they are outsourced, to put it bluntly, the national team coach will also adjust the training plan slightly according to their own conditions to prevent them from overdrawing their bodies.
But they still have to train to achieve results, at least to be comparable to the current five permanent members of the table tennis world, as well as Russia, North Korea, Japan and South Korea.
So the middle degree.
The coaching staff also grasped the situation very well.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Mori Yunan is the exception.
Not only can he keep up with the national team's super-intensive training in all aspects, he can even sometimes keep up with other coaches giving instructions to their own players.
Mori Yunan would also stand over and listen, then go back and take notes to digest the lessons and arrange a training plan for himself.
Maomao also discussed this with Zhu Qi: "The men's team is in danger right now. Look at those boys. This new batch of players has no drive. The coaches are also privately worried, feeling that the momentum among their men's team isn't as strong as that of the women's team."
Zhu Qi has been staying in the women's team and has no time to care about the development of the men's team. After hearing what Maomao said, it seems to be true.
Although Xiao Lingling joined the team late, she has been practicing with several main players of the female team, and her skills are improving dramatically every day.
Not to mention Sasa and Youyou who joined the team early. They have also played in competitions everywhere in the past two years and accumulated a lot of competition experience. Although they have won and lost in Asian competitions, fortunately they are not stage-frightened and dare to fight hard when they enter the court.
But the men's team is different.
Every time they were called out to compete, only Daxiong, Song Linzhou and Qin Xiaoba were included, and at most Shanghe, who was one level below them. Dashu and Xiaogang were not young anymore. They had not won any rankings when they competed in the Tokyo World Games. Later, they were replaced by Song Linzhou and Qin Xiaoba. They missed their golden period of career and their health was getting worse year by year. They were also facing retirement recently.
To put it simply.
Although the men's team now has three absolute main players, it is still short of people.
Zhugang returned two years ago. If Mori Yunan performs well, the Chinese national team wants to transfer him over, which is actually transferring him from the provincial team to the national team. The procedures will definitely be simpler than transferring foreign players to the Chinese national team.
When Maomao was talking about this with Zhu Qi, several people happened to be having lunch in the cafeteria.
Ah Shui also thought this was a good thing. "If we can expand the men's team, it'll be a great addition to the team in the future. The coaches will definitely be willing to do that. I think Reporter Mori's younger brother is doing pretty well. Although Coach Gao previously said his talent and fundamentals were average, he's a hard worker. It's only been two years, and neither Dashu nor Xiaogang can beat him."
The women's team didn't think it was a big deal, but the men's team didn't think so.
There is only one piece of the cake, and there are only so many places in the competition.
If you divide it left and right, it won’t be enough.
Qin Xiaoba put down his chopsticks and turned to Daxiong and Song Linzhou, saying, "See, I told you, now the fox's tail is exposed, right? What's with the idea of studying with the Chinese team? Who knows, maybe they originally wanted to take this 'shortcut', through the cross-strait joint training here, and then make a name for themselves and directly enter the national team."
Before Daxiong and Song Linzhou could say anything, Ah Shui sat opposite them, speechless: "If they are really good at fighting, then come."
"What nonsense! The national team isn't some random place where just anyone can come," Qin Xiaoba chimed in. "It's just that it didn't happen to your women's team, so you're definitely not worried. We all worked our way up from the city team to the provincial team, then to the youth training camp, then from the youth training tournament to the second team, then through the first and second team round-robin tournament, and then worked our way up from sparring partners in the first team to the starting lineup! Why is he just treated like a 'foreign guest' in the national team, treated to good food and drink, and then finally gets to make it to the first team, ahead of a bunch of hard-working players down there?"
"What you said is true. Wasn't Baobao like that back then? She never participated in youth training matches, never participated in the round-robin matches between the first and second teams, and never served as a sparring partner. Yet, she directly joined the team and became a main player!" A Shui was not willing to be outdone.
"How can my sister be the same as him? My sister joined the team with a badge. As a provincial team player, she competed in the three major world championships and won the singles championship to enter the national team! Does he have that? To put it bluntly, when he and Da Ling were on the Chaojing team, they couldn't even make the second national team. Well, if he joins the Hong Kong team as a stepping stone, he can immediately be on par with us?"
"Ever since his first day on the national team, you've inexplicably disliked him. I've been told you're petty, but you refuse to admit it. If you're new, just practice more instead of constantly complaining about unfairness. If that's the case, when you first joined the national team, you were paired with Da Lingge in mixed doubles because of Bao Bao, and Da Lingge even took extra care of you out of Bao Bao's favor. Which player gets to practice with the main players as soon as they join the second team? When I first joined the second team, I was lucky to even have someone to practice with. Why didn't you say it was unfair to the lower-level players then?"
"Don't dwell on these trivial matters. The past is the past, and the present is the present..."
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and Zhu Qi frowned as he listened to them.
I wonder if Jin Lili had the same idea as Qin Xiaoba does now.
Zhu Qi was indeed the first person to overtake others that year, and he was also the first player since the establishment of the national table tennis team to enter the first team without participating in the first and second team quenching round-robin tournament.
When Zhu Qi first joined the team, many people in the women's team were not convinced either openly or secretly.
Zhu Qi also convinced everyone with his performance in various competitions and outstanding personal abilities.
The younger brother and sister were arguing with each other, and suddenly they turned to look at Zhu Qi.
"Baobao, say something!"
"Sister, say something!"
Zhu Qi was enjoying his meal when he was inexplicably dragged into the debate by the two people to be a judge.
"How would I know? Just follow the coach's instructions." Zhu Qi lowered his head and scooped a spoonful of yogurt.
She didn't want to take care of the men's team's affairs, as the women's team had a lot of work to do.
Although these tasks are all the responsibility of the team leader Maomao, Maomao's back and shoulder injuries have recurred in the past two years, so Zhu Qi also came to help share some of the work.
Maomao also looked up at Ah Shui and Qin Xiaoba and said, "You two should stop guessing here. No one said that Sen Yunan would definitely be recruited by the national team. It's nonsense. You've been arguing for a long time. If others hear it, they will think the men's team is exclusive."
Big Bear thought what Cat said made sense and nodded, "Actually, even if he comes, if he plays well, he'll be playing for the national team. If he doesn't play well, he definitely won't have a chance to play."
After the two captains spoke, A Shui and Qin Xiaoba glared at each other and fell silent, each lowering their heads to eat.
In fact, there is another very important reason why Qin Xiaoba doesn't like Sen Yunan.
Ever since Zhu Qi won the Grand Slam, many young players who had just joined the men's team also liked to go to the women's team to watch Zhu Qi practice.
Although they say they are studying, they actually have some ulterior motives in mind.
Regardless of gender, among sports students, I wouldn’t say all of them, but about 80 to 90 percent of them are obsessed with sisters.
Because many athletes leave their families when they are young and live and train with the team.
Many people may think that sports students are very independent since childhood, but in fact, independence only appears on the outside. In fact, they are still relatively naive in their hearts, and their ideas are relatively simple. They have not experienced the real life of society.
In the past, when Zhu Qi was young, the older players looked at her as if she were the most talented junior sister in the sect, and they showed their care and expectations for her.
Now as they grow older, there are more and more children in the team, and the little sister has become the big sister.
Especially Zhu Qi, whose mental age seems to be much older than her actual age. She exudes a charming and calm sister aura, which is very attractive.
With the blessing of the Grand Slam, her sister power is max.
Qin Xiaoba often thinks to himself that no matter who knows who my sister is, they will think I am lucky.
This mentality can easily lead to a dangerous situation.
The coaches were strict, and many signs of trouble were nipped in the bud before they could even emerge. But Sen Yunan was different. Qin Xiaoba felt that this kid had come with ill intentions from the beginning.
That won't work.
His sister is someone who is going to do big things.
In the future, we will have to win the double Grand Slam, the Super Grand Slam, and the World Games three times in a row!
What? Big Antelope? This is the product carefully selected by his younger brother, who has been with him since childhood and pays close attention to every detail. This is different!
As for others, no!
Mori Yunan hasn't made any moves in the past two years, and that's because his love bodyguard is keeping a close eye on him!
But no matter how strict the love bodyguards are, they are not as good as the coaches' sudden inspiration.
The Lyon World Cup in a month is very important.
The coaching staff felt that Huang Jiajia and his teammates had been in the national team for two years, and the Lyon World Cup was a showcase, and they had to let the world see the training results of these foreign players in the national team.
By the way, let others see that China is so inclusive and can get along well with outsourced companies.
There is nothing to allocate for singles, and applications for participation are still submitted according to the previous team points ranking.
But for doubles, one foreign player is needed to be paired with one national team player.
Women's doubles, Lulu and A Shui, Huang Jiajia and Maomao.
Men's doubles, Song Linzhou and Caribou, Daxiong and Mori Yunan.
Originally, Zhu Qi thought that it would not be his turn to compete in the mixed doubles, because Maomao told Zhu Qi that the coaching staff wanted Mori Yunan and A Shui to pair up because the winning rate is higher when one is on the left and the other on the right.
Huang Jiajia suddenly came to find Zhu Qi and wanted Zhu Qi to play mixed doubles with Mori Yunan. She also said to Zhu Qi: "Do you remember what you promised me last time..."
"Huh?" Zhu Qi was confused. "When did I ever promise you that?"
