15 Three Tips
◎【Edit】The youngest World Cup champion in history!◎
Big gathering in the afternoon.
The table tennis department training ground of the National Table Tennis and Badminton Administration Center.
All the players on the national team gathered together and were arranged in order of seniority from first to last.
Standing in the first row are the absolute main force of the men's and women's teams.
Song Linzhou stood in the second row of the men's team, listening to Fat Tiger next to him chattering to him about the new main force of the women's team.
Since the table tennis team was established, I have never heard of anyone being able to skip the first and second team round-robin tournament and directly enter the national first team and live on the seventh floor.
Of course, no one can enter the national team with gold medals from the three major competitions.
Both the men's and women's teams were curious about the new player.
The weekly group meeting is nothing more than some subsequent game arrangements, training plans, and the latest notifications from the International Table Tennis Federation.
Ren Xinhua stood at the front of the group, flanked by the head coaches of the men's and women's teams. He addressed all the players word by word, "The Tokyo World Games have added a new mixed doubles event. The team has also undergone a major overhaul, merging the previous men's and women's teams into a single mixed team..."
The team members looked at each other sideways, and a few boys laughed and joked in low voices.
"Mixed doubles? Will something go wrong during the fight?"
"It's obvious this was modified by Europeans. They just love this kind of man-woman thing."
"They say it's to make the competition more entertaining. Doesn't that mean men and women will have to train together in the future?"
"It's over. No more shirtless."
"...This is a new experiment. Mixed doubles means the female players will also face the challenge of receiving balls from male players. The male players' boards are all of high quality, which is also a test for the female players - mixed doubles is as important as singles, and both are gold medal opportunities for the Chinese team! Starting today, the men's and women's teams will be randomly paired. In the past, many male players have been disgruntled, lost their temper, and slacked off when practicing with the female players. If this happens again, one demerit will be issued, two training suspensions will be issued, three suspensions will be issued, and those who fail to change their ways will be demoted to the second team. Do you understand?"
"I heard it—" the male team members said in unison.
"One last thing, you should all know. Starting today, a new female player will join the national team. It's Zhu Qi, who just won the World Championship Women's Singles Championship."
Ren Xinhua's face was serious one second, but he smiled at the girl next to him the next second.
"She's only fifteen, and she's already won the Women's Singles World Championship. Look at you all, you've been on the national team for seven or eight years, let alone singles titles in the three major tournaments, how many Asian and national singles titles have you won? Let me tell you, new blood integrates quickly! In the blink of an eye, you'll be overtaken by the kids coming up behind you. By then, you won't even be qualified to be the last wave to beat the old wave."
Song Linzhou looked at the girl standing next to Xu Dong with surprise and admiration.
He had seen Zhu Qi play basketball live.
With this kid's level, even if he starts from the second national team now, he can quickly sweep all the members of the second national team and enter the first national team.
Song Linzhou happened to be standing outside the window in the beam of light that fell into the room, and his cheeks were burning from the afternoon sun.
She is very bright.
People say that gold nourishes people. For athletes, this gold refers to the gold medal.
People who have won many gold medals have a different temperament from other athletes.
It's so bright that you can't take your eyes off it.
She has an aggressive aura. Anyone who is a little less confident standing next to her will be suppressed by that aura and become a background member.
Fat Tiger also felt that this girl was extraordinary. He thought of when he first came to the national team, he followed his predecessors tremblingly, not even daring to raise his head.
Since the girl came in, she has been looking around with her head tilted up.
Sometimes he looked at the floor, sometimes at the roof, sometimes at the pool table, and sometimes at the clothes hangers.
If you don’t know, you might think that the leader is here to inspect.
Um.
The air is still fresh.
Um.
The table was fairly clean.
Um.
The air conditioning temperature is ok.
"Please briefly introduce yourself." Xu Dong reminded softly from the side.
The girl raised her head and spoke concisely, "My last name is Zhu, the Qi character from Qishan. I'm fifteen years old and from the Jianghuai Provincial Team. I feel very honored to be able to join the national team and compete with the best players in this country."
The girl's face was full of ambition.
The players in front of him looked at him sideways.
One-third Grand Slam.
The women's team was under great pressure, while the men's team was very excited.
"This girl is so cute." From the Guangdong team.
"Beauty has nothing to do with your shabby skin." From the Chongyu team.
"Even if he is a world champion, I don't know whether he will look down on you." From the Hubei team.
"From the Jianghuai team, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties." From the Yannan team.
Song Linzhou put his hands behind his back, his fingers tangled together, his heart beating like a deer.
I don't know if she still remembers me.
Fat Tiger whispered, "Hey! Why don't you go say hello to him? He's a future Grand Slam reserve, a talent who will be promoted directly to the seventh floor of the first team."
"Forget it. She just joined the national team and she must have a lot of things to deal with. Don't cause trouble for her."
"How can it be called causing trouble? You should be helping. Helping the girl by carrying her luggage, running errands, and fetching water."
The boys looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
What Song Linzhou didn't expect was that she was so young.
Only fifteen years old.
When I saw her sitting alone on the plane, I thought she just had a baby face and looked childish. The way she spoke and behaved, her actual age should be about the same as mine. I didn't expect that she was three years younger than me.
The national team is also divided into several levels.
Sparring partner, main force, absolute main force.
In the singles matches of the Asian series and the three major tournaments, the absolute main players will be given priority, and the remaining places will be divided among the main players.
Sparring players do not have their own training plans. Their main job is to accompany the absolute main players in training.
Then, when you become the absolute main force and the main force does not need you, you can improve yourself.
Fat Tiger has just transitioned from a sparring partner to a main player.
Because of his good performance, the national team gave him a place in the men's doubles of the World Cup.
As a result, they fell in the second round.
After coming back, Fat Tiger started to become a sparring partner again.
And this little girl lived on the seventh floor as soon as she came in.
It’s not comparable, it’s really not comparable.
"Alright, everyone's introduced. I won't dwell on the usual stuff. Coach Jiang, Coach Shi, take your players back to the training area."
The men's and women's teams were separated, one on the left and one on the right.
The training ground is large enough that there is an echo when walking.
The men's and women's teams each have six head coaches. In addition to Zhu Qi, Xu Dong has five young players under him, all fourteen years old.
Because Xu Dong is the new coach.
These five children were all selected by her from the second national team.
They had been following her for half a year, but the last Zhu Qi to come was actually one year older than all of them.
They followed Xu Dong and Zhu Qi, looking at Zhu Qi's back with some curiosity.
After a few people pushed and shoved for a while, a brave man took a step forward and asked Zhu Qi.
"Hello, my name is Fang Miao, and the coaches all call me Ah Shui. I saw you play in the World Championship. That serve you used in the final was amazing! That kind of self-destructive serve requires a lot of talent. How long have you been practicing it?"
Zhu Qi disagreed: "It won't take long. Just master the skills and practice more."
The girl blinked her bright eyes with a look of longing.
Zhu Qi understood her meaning immediately: "You want me to teach you?"
"Is that okay?" Ah Shui cheered. "In return, I can bring you breakfast! But I'm a little clumsy, so maybe..."
"It's not important. I'll teach you how to do it, but... could you please take me to the seventh floor?"
Ah Shui nodded frantically: "Of course!"
Zhu Qi was very satisfied.
We have to get up at 7:20 in the morning to do morning exercises, go back to the dormitory at 8 o'clock to pack, wash up and have breakfast, and go to training at 9 o'clock to officially start the day's training.
If someone could buy her food, it would mean she would have an extra twenty minutes of rest time.
So cool!
/
On the first day in the national team, I mainly walked around and looked around, and then took a bunch of daily necessities back to the dormitory.
A kettle, a washbasin, a foot basin, a toothbrush holder, a stainless steel lunch box, a new set of bedding, a mosquito net... and so on.
Because the items are all wholesale and everyone uses the same thing, I print my name on the base of each item or in the place where it can be engraved to distinguish it.
Before going to bed, while packing her things, Zhu Qi took out the three envelopes that He Qianlu had slipped into her before she boarded the train. He said mysteriously, "You're going to Beijing this time. Although you're joining the team with a badge and are the first person to do so, the national team is full of talented people, and there will definitely be some who won't obey you. I'll give you three 'magic tricks'. If you run into trouble, just open them and read them. I've marked them for you. Open them one, two, three... Hey, I'm not finished yet! Come back!"
Zhu Qi knew that this guy couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, so he sat on the bed and took it apart.
As expected, the first envelope said "Eat well" and the second envelope said "Sleep well"...
“…” Zhu Qi.
This person...
He is thirty years old and still has no serious career.
If the third envelope said "Don't take it to heart", she would immediately stand up, go to the phone booth, call He Qianlu, and scold him.
However, Zhu Qi had predicted He Qianlu, and He Qianlu had predicted Zhu Qi's prediction. In the third letter, he wrote: [If you don't agree, do it!]
Um.
This is quite interesting.
Although things never happen three times.
But Zhu Qi is different. Zhu Qi doesn't want to endure it even once.
