163 Riyadh World Games-Mixed Doubles
◎How can it be possible for people not to make mistakes?◎
Regarding the fact that Zhu Qi did not give the foreigner any respect and scolded the male reporter in public, some foreign reporters did not show overly radical emotions after watching Zhu Qi's interview. Instead, many of them maintained the same attitude towards Zhu Qi as before.
When some people came to the scene to interview before the final, Zhu Qi actually saw several translators who were following the reporters and speaking Chinese.
Many people in the national team find this amazing.
A Shui thought that after Zhu Qi scolded the foreigners again, these foreign media would use more vicious methods to embarrass Zhu Qi, but he didn't expect that they would start to become obedient one by one.
However, over such a long time, A Shui has had a lot of interactions with many foreigners and understands their personalities.
Sometimes if you act a little tough in front of them, they will look up to you. But only those who are particularly eager to please them and slander their own country are the ones they dislike the most.
But Zhu Qi felt that there was another possibility that he was scolding the Americans.
As the saying goes, if a country is not won by right, disaster will surely come.
What the Americans did to the Indians back then has been beautified by them over the years, with celebrity books and film and television dramas promoting this period of history, thus downplaying it.
But history is history after all and will not be easily erased.
In addition, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States relied on the fact that it had become the world's largest country for a long time and showed all kinds of arrogant attitudes and caused trouble everywhere.
It also promotes transgender people to participate in women's competitions, which is obviously extremely unfair, causing many countries to be angry but not dare to speak out.
Except for American reporters, reporters from other countries were quite friendly towards Zhu Qi.
Even when greeting each other face to face many times, A Shui could still see a kind of admiration and worship in the eyes of these reporters.
Around the turn of the millennium, when China's development level had not yet officially exploded, many people were particularly concerned about China's status and voice in international public opinion. Therefore, many times, without realizing it, they showed some flattery and pleasing to these foreigners.
Zhu Qi's words reminded many people of the pioneers who would rather die standing up, and made them feel their kneecaps become harder.
But people in the United States were furious.
Although there is no American team participating in this World Games, the American team does have athletes from other events.
After seeing Zhu Qi's interview, those people all expressed that they felt Zhu Qi was a bit too arrogant.
After all, Zhu Qi said something very serious to them.
It means your mother doesn't love you.
Beautiful ladies: The defense is broken.
In many shots, they began to sow discord against the Chinese team.
"Oh, I know this Chinese athlete, but to be honest, I prefer the Hong Kong players. I like their humility and politeness, and I also like how they can maintain their composure no matter what the circumstances. Oh, I really like them, I admire them very much, I hope she can win the championship this time, and I also hope they can always stay true to their original aspirations and uphold such beautiful qualities."
I don’t know how the Hong Kong team felt when they heard this, but the players of the Chinese team found it quite funny.
Zhu Qi really thought that they should call the Old Summer Palace and tell them not to look for it anymore, because the pig's head is hanging around his neck.
She was also extremely glad that she had chosen sports events because the results could be seen.
No matter how wonderful others say it, the results are in front of everyone.
The Americans wanted to find fault with Zhu Qi, but her dazzling achievements prevented them from doing so. After much deliberation, they considered investigating her personal ethics, but the national team was known for its strict discipline. Even smoking, drinking, and perming her hair were unacceptable, let alone gossip.
Those who wanted to pick her off the podium could only stare blankly at her as she was about to appear on the podium again.
The mixed doubles match against the Hong Kong team was the second world-class match. From the very beginning, Zhu Qi felt the growth of the two opponents during this period.
The last time was four years ago.
In fact, Huang Jiajia and Mori Yunan have rarely played together in mixed doubles. Mori Yunan has always been focusing on his men's singles and has won several Asian silver medals.
Zhu Qi seemed to remember that he once won the men's singles gold medal in the Asian Championships.
After the game started, Zhu Qi felt that the progress and development of the two opponents during this period was much better than when they were in the national team.
When I watched the two of them playing against the North Korean team yesterday, I felt that their shots were more decisive than before.
But sometimes, only by standing across the table can you feel that the ball is more delicate.
The small white ball shuttled back and forth across the table. Everyone watched the four figures running back and forth around the table. On the one hand, they felt that the ball was too fast and they could not keep up with their rhythm. On the other hand, they felt that it was a rare sight of four Chinese people competing against each other on the table.
Normally, each country is only allowed to send two players to participate in doubles events, so unlike singles events, doubles can better reflect a variety of different competitive aspects.
In fact, before the start of this game, many foreign coaches protested to the International Table Tennis Federation, believing that since Zhuhai and Hong Kong have now returned, the participants should be judged in a Chinese way.
But there are too many factors to consider in this matter, and one of them is a very dangerous factor, which is that only half of Yunwan Province has returned.
Unlike the Hong Kong team that has already confirmed its return, although the Yunwan team also appears as a Chinese national, in fact the Yunwan team does not recognize this very much. Even after more than 20 years, it still wants to be seen by the world as an independent country.
Initially, the Yunwan team even attempted a rhetorical game, attempting to compete in the world competition under the name "Chinese National Team Yunwan." This would have been a way of denying their identity as a member of the Chinese nation, yet still made sense, as they were indeed descendants of the Chinese nation. However, the Chinese Sports Administration, with various parties mediating, remained steadfast in their refusal to yield on this point.
Either you admit that you are a Chinese citizen, or you completely withdraw from all world competitions.
If any other country dares to accept you to participate in the competition, it will be regarded as a declaration of war.
Finally, the outer islands compromised.
After returning to the Hong Kong team, Mori Yunan also carefully digested every day in the national team, and then looked through the notebook he wrote in the national team.
As a result, when he opened the first page, Mori Yunan found that Zhu Qi had made annotations on every page of his notes.
The handwriting is a little rusty, probably because he hasn't held a pen for a long time. He writes each stroke carefully, as if writing on grid paper, with a childish seriousness.
Each comment pointed out a problem in Mori Yunan's notes. For example, Mori Yunan believed that slice shots were primarily about friction with the rubber to reduce high spin, but Zhu Qi believed that friction was one aspect of the game. Another aspect of successful slice shots was adding a weak spin to confuse the opponent, and then focusing on the chance of hitting the table...
As Mori Yunan flipped through the pages, the more he read, the more he felt that this was a person who loved table tennis.
Many people choose table tennis because they start practicing from a young age, and maybe they played well when they were young, so they joined the city team, provincial team, and then the national team.
If I were to say I like it, I probably wouldn’t like it that much. Maybe I just think it’s a job.
There are also some people who, even if they liked playing table tennis before, will find it boring and tedious after playing for a long time. When their love becomes a job, they will no longer like it as much.
After Zhu Qi's interview yesterday, many foreign media described her as a "genius girl with a proud demeanor" and a "Grand Slam with a weird temper."
But during the time that Mori Yunan was in the national team, what he saw every time was Zhu Qi patiently teaching the young players over and over again how to capture the details on their balls, and then tirelessly correcting the young players' problems.
Sometimes his words can be harsh, but the young players are used to Zhu Qi's coaching style.
Mori Yunan could feel from Zhu Qi's words that this was a person who truly loved the little white ball.
Now seeing Zhu Qi standing opposite him again, Mori Yunan's ears were filled with the sound of balls hitting each other.
This was the closest he had ever been to the top of the world podium, and he was going to snatch the gold medal from his idol.
Mori Yunan was a little excited, but the extreme excitement caused him to make a few small mistakes at the beginning.
Although he quickly regained his form, Zhu Qi still seized the opportunity to score points and quickly won the first game.
[Big score, Zhu Qi/Song Linzhou 1:0 Huang Jiajia/Sen Yunan]
Zhu Qi is like a little leopard, and will not easily miss any opportunity to bite his opponent to death.
Everyone who has fought with Zhu Qi knows this.
But at the start of the second game, the Hong Kong team began to get better, repeatedly pulling the ball to the center line.
No matter what ball Zhu Qi and Song Linzhou hit, Huang Jiajia and Mori Yunan could pull it to the center line.
Such a ball may be easier to defend in singles, but not in doubles, after all, the court is limited.
When two people are running back and forth, even if they are working together, there will be a second of staggered bodies, and it is easy to attack this point by hitting the center line.
This is also the reason why the North Korean team lost points one after another yesterday.
By the 12th ball, the Hong Kong team was leading by four points.
The players from both sides wiped their sweat briefly, and Song Linzhou suddenly touched Zhu Qi's shoulder, signaling Zhu Qi to look at Sen Yunan's board.
In fact, Zhu Qi just discovered that Mori Yunan's racket was attached to the side guard.
The big screen also happened to focus on Mori Yunan's bat. The CCTV commentator was curious and asked He Qianlu: "We can see that the Hong Kong team's bat has sponge on the corners. What's the purpose of this?"
He Qianlu explained, "Normally, we only have rubber on the front and back of our rackets. However, some people prefer to leave a little more rubber on the sides and add edge guards. This effectively adds an extra 1 to 2 millimeters to the rubber, increasing the hitting area."
So, would this type of bat be more suitable for players who primarily play with spin and slice?
Yes, increasing the hitting area means more friction on the ball. Judging from the last inning, the Hong Kong team is very good at turning the initiative into passivity. The two players of the Chinese team were unable to expand their offensive capabilities.
In fact, when he was in the national team, Mori Yunan's racket did not have side guards yet. It was probably only after he returned to the Hong Kong team that he started to change it.
Previously, Mori Yunan was better at using his wrist to hit the ball when pulling it, so he wanted to make up for the weakness of low friction by adding side protection.
The simple sweat wiping time is over.
At the beginning of the game, players from both sides handled every ball very carefully.
When everyone saw the white balls shuttle back and forth on the net, a few of them accidentally hit the top of the grid due to excessive rotation force, and then rolled crookedly to the opposite table, and were then rescued by the receiver with a deep-sea scoop.
Both sides had two net balls and also made extreme saves.
Huang Jiajia also seemed to be under a lot of pressure. She tried her best to attack every ball and strictly followed the plan given by the Hong Kong team coach.
After two rounds, both teams scored one point.
[Big score: Zhu Qi/Song Linzhou 2:1 Huang Jiajia/Sen Yunan]
The applause from outside the venue continued, one after another, quite rhythmic.
Zhu Qi didn't have time to care about what was being said outside the venue. Now, no matter what sound he heard, it was all gurgling chaos.
Mori Yunan's offense was strong, almost always lowering his body to drive the ball with his body, and he also felt the progress and development of Zhu Qi over the past period of time. Under Zhu Qi's hands, there was almost no mistake, which was too much psychological pressure for the opponent.
How is it possible for people not to make mistakes?
But Zhu Qi can.
"Second brother." Huang Jiajia suddenly called him in a low voice.
While waiting to serve, Mori Yunan glanced sideways at his teammates standing behind him.
Huang Jiajia made a gesture to him.
Mori Yunan frowned, but nodded.
