17 Gambling scandal ②
◎【Three-in-one】She will be your biggest competitor in the future.◎
Everyone looked at the girl who was speaking.
The girl came in such a grand manner that Jin Lili had naturally heard of the legend about her in Jianghuai Province.
During the World Cup, Jin Lili was in Zone B. Because she was eliminated early, she watched the World Cup final in the audience with Mr. Buddha.
When Jin Lili heard that Zhu Qi was going to join the team, she felt like a thorn was piercing her heart and she felt very uncomfortable.
The resources of the national table tennis team itself are limited.
There are only a few who can be called the absolute main force.
Before the World Cup, Maomao's level had already reached the absolute main force level, becoming the main training target of the coaching staff and the main competitor of Jin Lili.
Although Maomao didn't make it to the finals, her performance in the World Cup was much better than hers.
At least he withdrew due to injury, not losing to an external team.
Now Zhu Qi has also joined the national team.
Although he had only been here for a few days, anyone with a discerning eye knew what it meant that this "Golden Throne" was personally received by Chairman Ren.
That means she will have access to the best resources of the entire national team, and she will be given priority for singles places in all three major competitions!
Although athletes want to win glory for their country, the prerequisite is to have a big competition within the team first.
Jin Lili's living space is even smaller.
It is possible to fall out of the position of absolute main force at any time.
The thought of this instantly wiped out Jin Lili's joy at winning the money. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "You want to fight me?"
So what if it’s the Golden Throne?
To put it bluntly, it was Zhu Qi's first time on the world-class stage, and others didn't understand her playing style, so she suffered a loss.
Jin Lili has seen at least five or six dark horses like Zhu Qi in her career.
It's all just bluffing, luck plays a bigger role.
Zhu Qi placed the ball box on the table, unzipped it, pulled out a stack of banknotes, and threw them on the table. "I only play with cash, and I pay on the spot."
Everyone in the audience was stunned when they saw her take out the four banknotes with the leaders' heads on them.
What we are using now is not the red 100 coins, but the oldest green 100 coins.
Jin Lili couldn't believe it: "One hundred and one balls?"
Zhu Qi took out his racket, gently wiped the dust off the rubber, and blew on it. "No? Don't you dare?"
This is her World Cup bonus.
Old White Man is now able to transfer money quite quickly, and the money arrives in his card in less than half a month.
Jin Lili looked very uneasy. A female player whispered, "Don't make it so big, okay? It's just a little trick, some pocket money..."
Zhu Qi pointed at the hundred-yuan bills on the table and tilted his head: "This is my pocket money. You don't have this much, do you?"
Jin Lili couldn't stand the provocation and shouted, "Come on!"
She knew that the prize money for the world champion was considerable. As the World Championship series, second only to the World Games and the National Table Tennis Championships, it was one of the three major competitions, so the ranking would naturally not be bad.
The champion's prize money is as high as 10,000 US dollars. After deducting 20% to the Chinese Table Tennis Association, 25% to the Jianghuai Provincial Sports Bureau, and various miscellaneous taxes, the total amount converted into RMB is more than 40,000.
In those days, a three-bedroom house in Chaojing County only cost 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.
This does not include the additional bonus given to Zhu Qi by Jianghuai Province.
He Qianlu is very practical, combining the roles of coach, physical trainer, team doctor and psychological counselor.
Zhu Qi was very generous and gave half of the money to He Qianlu, as he couldn't really let him work for nothing.
After receiving the money, He Qianlu said, "Thank you, Lord!" and then took the money with him, planning to find a venue to open a gym. Zhu Qi thought it was a good idea and considered the money his own investment.
Now, at the age of fifteen, she was a bona fide six-figure wealthy woman, a ten-thousand-yuan household! ...Although the ten-thousand-yuan household in the nineties wasn't as prestigious.
Jin Lili snorted with disdain, wiped her racket, and pretended to be ready to go.
Zhu Qi pointed at Ah Shui and said, "You go be the referee."
Just now, when he saw Jin Lili, Zhu Qi remembered this person's story.
In her previous life, not long after the defeat in the Tokyo World Games, Jin Lili followed her parents who were doing business in South Korea, changed her nationality and went to South Korea to compete.
Zhu Qi actually does not discriminate against players who go abroad to play games. After all, the domestic competition is fierce. If you want to leave your name on the world stage, finding a place to stand out and become a main player is also an option.
But when Jin Lili left for the South Korean team, it was not long after the "Twelve Dark Years of Chinese Table Tennis" began and there was an urgent need for talent.
This is equivalent to when the country is in crisis, a general who can fight goes to the enemy country to help attack his own country, making the city fall faster.
Therefore, domestic media launched a lot of criticism and condemnation against it.
Jin Lili's public explanation was that her philosophy was not in line with that of the national team.
However, we rarely heard any information about Jin Lili afterwards, and I guess she didn't make it.
But now Jin Lili is still a member of the national team.
And he is the absolute main force of the national team.
Zhu Qi's behavior of challenging the opponent right from the start attracted a lot of onlookers.
Ah Shui's eyes turned red from holding back tears. Clutching Zhu Qi's arm pitifully, he whispered, "Forget it. It would be a disaster if the coach knew we were playing with so much money. You just got here..."
"Why not? Just two balls and you get paid. I'd be a fool not to take such a good deal." Zhu Qi shook his arms as a simple warm-up, then looked at Jin Lili. "No match point, no limit."
"What do you mean?!" The people around were surprised.
This means that there is no upper limit on the amount of money you can bet.
Jin Lili couldn't laugh anymore, she gritted her teeth and walked to the other end of the table.
A little fifteen-year-old girl.
Isn't it just winning the World Cup? What are you so proud of?
She has seen Zhu Qi's game!
That is, the serve and forehand are better, and although the backhand is also good, it lacks power, so it lacks quality.
She is not afraid!
Ah Shui sat trembling on the referee's chair and began to look for coins, letting both sides guess the sides to choose the server.
Zhu Qi waved his hand: "No need to look for her, she's serving first. Let's get started quickly. I have training this afternoon, so don't waste time."
Jin Lili was furious.
Isn’t that too crazy?!
Why are you so arrogant!?
Do you really think you are the reincarnation of Wu Quxing?!
She had heard from Master Buddha about this man's character, and she also knew that Zhu Qi's coach in the provincial team was He Qianlu.
All the outstanding students brought up by famous teachers are of this character.
Talented and arrogant.
He got another golden throne and became even more arrogant.
But no one can get into the national team easily.
From the city team, provincial team, to the second national team, Jin Lili has been praised as a "genius girl" by others all the way, and she thinks she is no worse than anyone else!
She gripped the racket tightly, tested the ball's elasticity, then assumed a serving posture and tossed it upwards.
The first serve was Jin Lili's most proud pure backspin serve.
One advantage of this serve is that the ball bounces very low after hitting the table, almost level with the net.
This means that if you try to return this type of serve, and the spin can't keep up with her speed, the ball will go into the net.
But Zhu Qi leaned forward slightly, and with a simple, short smack, he smacked the ball back. Jin Lili quickly followed suit, and after the two of them circled the net for three smacks, Jin Lili suddenly leveled her racket and used the top middle part of her racket to knock the white ball into the open space to Zhu Qi's right.
Jin Lili did not underestimate her opponent. Now that someone was pointing at her nose and challenging her to a fight, she was highly alert to deal with Zhu Qi's ball, but she was still surprised by Zhu Qi's counterattack.
The technique of sucking short seems to be just to apply force and let the ball fall very close to the net.
But it’s actually a very advanced technique!
Because the rotation of table tennis balls is too strong, if you don't suck the ball well enough, the ball will easily hit the net or fly straight into the sky.
But Zhu Qi is very proficient in the short serve technique. Not only did he use the short serve to defeat Li Keshan in the World Championship Cup final, but at this moment he also made Jin Lili's backspin serve helpless.
Zhu Qi scored.
Score: Zhu Qi 1:0 Jin Lili,
cut.
What's so great about that?
Jin Lili gritted her teeth, gripped the racket tightly, and swung her arm! Hit the ball!
The ball's path is straight!
It's a low, short, non-spinning ball!
This is also one of Jin Lili’s tricks!
A Shui sat on the referee's chair, trembling with fear.
After all, a ping-pong ball is round, so the most difficult thing is not how fast the ball can be hit.
But how to hit a non-spinning ball with 0 spin!
When Ah Shui was playing against Jin Lili, he suffered from this disadvantage of not spinning the ball.
It’s really hard to fight!
really.
When Zhu Qi received the ball without spin, he failed to add enough spin to the ball and it hit the net.
Jin Lili scored.
Score: Zhu Qi 1:1 Jin Lili
The people watching nearby let out a soft "Wow" when they saw the ball not spinning.
Several young players who had just been promoted from the second team all showed expressions that said, "The big guys in the first team really have unique skills."
Next was Zhu Qi's turn to serve, with two rapid running serves beyond the baseline, scoring two points in a row!
Ah Shui couldn't help but exclaim "Wow" at Zhu Qi's serve.
Although I practiced with Zhu Qi for two days, the quality and speed of these two serves were really amazing!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before I could even blink, the ball hit the table!
Score: Zhu Qi 3:1 Jin Lili
Jin Lili took a deep breath and blew on the racket to calm her mind.
This is bizarre! How can this kid's running serve be so low? And not even hit the net? There's no way to return it. Standing across from me, it feels even faster than it does from the audience!
How did she practice? Is it really because of her talent?
It doesn’t matter, these are just small scenes!
And what about her "spin or not spin ball"!
It can be understood as: the ball may or may not be played with spin.
The same posture is used when serving, that is, the racket is held completely flat and hits quickly with the middle front part of the racket.
Because the serving posture is consistent, this type of serve is extremely deceptive.
The ball you hit may or may not have spin.
Except for the server himself, it is difficult for people on the other side of the table to tell the difference.
After all, different rotations require different ways of receiving.
Bang!
Bang!
Jin Lili specifically attacks the right half of the area.
This method is not very friendly to right-handed players, because the ball pulled out can easily fly in the direction of their dominant hand, which results in a 60% chance that the ball pulled out will go out of bounds.
A Shui didn't dare to look anymore.
She has a psychological trauma about this kind of ball not spinning.
Jin Lili's ability to spin or not spin the ball has always been a unique skill, and it is extremely concealed!
But she also wanted to know how the 15-year-old new king of the Golden Throne would deal with Jin Lili's non-spinning of the ball.
Zhu Qi also lost a few serves at the beginning and lost several points, but when it was her turn to serve, she caught up with the points.
The whole situation became that both players relied on their own serving rounds to score points.
The score was basically very close.
Zhu Qi 2:1 Jin Lili...
Zhu Qi 3:4 Jin Lili...
Zhu Qi 4:6 Jin Lili...
Zhu Qi 5:7 Jin Lili...
When the situation got to this point, Jin Lili was still a little proud.
Look, what a golden throne.
Is this your level?
But after the 12th goal, the situation on the field suddenly changed drastically.
Zhu Qi has completely adapted to her non-spinning ball!
Zhu Qi 6:7 Jin Lili...
Zhu Qi 8:7 Jin Lili...
Zhu Qi 11:7 Jin Lili...
Six goals in a row!
Jin Lili didn't score a single point?!
Logically speaking, when the score reached this point, Zhu Qi could basically be declared the winner.
But before the game started, Zhu Qi said "no upper limit", which means that they would fight until one of them admits defeat!
That would be endless!
Now Jin Lili is 4 goals behind, that's 400 yuan!
Jin Lili suddenly panicked. When people are distracted, their thoughts become chaotic. She really couldn't understand how her spinning ball could be seen through.
"Lily! What's wrong with you?" A teammate pulled Jin Lily aside, trying to get her to come to her senses. "Please be serious. We're only four points behind!"
yes.
Four points!
It’s just 400 yuan!
Two months’ salary for an average family!!
Jin Lili gritted her teeth and walked back to the table.
Only at this moment did the others understand.
Zhu Qi is standing up for the players in his team!
One of the smarter female players whispered, "Forget about Lili. Chairman Ren brought her here from Jianghuai Province. It wouldn't be good for you to make a big fuss. If you let her hit a ball again, I'll tell her the coach is coming and give her the three hundred yuan I won against Ah Shui. Don't play anymore."
Jin Lili was so angry that she was stunned.
How can we stop it now?
Doesn't calling a halt mean that you've given in?
When I looked up, I saw the girl standing opposite the table spinning her racket and smiling at me with her head tilted.
Very provocative!
Jin Lili gritted her teeth and continued the game.
But who knew that Zhu Qi would fight more and more smoothly!
The score gap is getting bigger and bigger!
As the amount increased, everyone became afraid.
Ah Shui sat in the referee's chair, feeling uneasy at first, then timid in the middle, and finally excited. She could clearly sense that Zhu Qi had taken control of the match and was beginning to dominate Jin Lili.
Jin Lili relies too much on "spin-or-no-spin serves", hoping to score points through her own serves and then find one or two more points with other balls.
In fact, “spinning or not spinning the ball” is not completely invincible.
At the World Cup, Nadezhda of the Russian team can easily judge whether her ball is spinning or not.
That's because this Russian has very good dynamic vision and can make judgments by staring at the rotation of the ball.
But there is a subtle delay in between, and you need to wait for the ball to fly over before you can react.
But Zhu Qi could tell whether the ball was spinning or not almost the moment Jin Lili hit it, and then she would immediately hit back!
She...how did she do it?
Jin Lili couldn't keep up with Zhu Qi's speed at all.
The score gap has widened.
Zhu Qi 13:8 Jin Lili...
Zhu Qi 15:9 Jin Lili...
Zhu Qi 17:10 Jin Lili...
"Oh my God, please make them stop!" Some people started to panic.
Neither Zhu Qi nor Jin Lili could stop.
It's like a gambler who's addicted to gambling.
Those who were behind were also fighting madly. Even though they knew the score gap was big, they still wanted to find an opportunity to rush back.
The scores are still changing.
More and more white balls were scattered behind him.
"What are you doing!?"
When everyone was worried, Zu Tianjiao arrived with the captain.
The captain of the women's team, Chang Hongxia, glanced at the two people panting in front of the table, and then looked at the scoreboard in front of A Shui.
Score: Zhu Qi 20:13 Jin Lili
I understand.
"Are you fighting privately?" The captain walked to the center with a cold face.
Jin Lili's held breath suddenly dissipated, and she trembled all over as she looked at the score.
Zhu Qi walked over and held out his hand to Jin Lili. "Hey, are you going to pay it back or not? If not, let's settle it. It's 700 yuan in total. I can give you a discount, so 695 will be enough. I only accept cash."
This money was exactly the amount that Jin Lili earned from betting on football with Xu Dong's team members.
Now everyone knows that Xu Dong's team has sent a substitute.
This matter ends today.
I guess no one would dare to come to Xu Dong’s team to gamble on football again.
Jin Lili bit her lip tightly and looked at Chang Hongxia: "Sister Xia..."
"You won't default on your debt, will you?" Zhu Qi tilted his head, a little confused.
Maomao pulled Zhu Qi and whispered, "Stop talking! Coach Jiang is coming over soon!"
"That's perfect. I want to ask him if gambling within the team counts as personal points. After all, money is money and points are points. One more is not much." Zhu Qi looked at Chang Hongxia, his face full of provocation, "You are not biased, are you?"
I saw the captain coming.
Everyone lowered their heads silently and dared not speak, with a look of "It's none of my business" written all over their faces.
Chang Hongxia glared at Jin Lili and asked, "Are you betting on football again?"
"No..." Jin Lili retorted subconsciously, but the captain caught her in the act, so she had to admit it. "I didn't bet much! It was only five dollars a ball! And we only played once in a while. I'm the star player on the team. Isn't practicing with the younger players a waste of my time? They all want to practice with me..."
"Do you want to practice with her?" Zhu Qi turned and looked at A Shui.
Ah Shui was stunned. He looked at Jin Lili, then at Chang Hongxia, and finally at Zhu Qi. He suddenly gained courage and shook his head firmly.
Jin Lili's face turned pale.
This was, of course, her excuse.
Of course everyone wants to practice with senior players.
But no one would think about it if it involves gambling money.
"I remember I told you last time that if you gamble with the young players again, I will report it to the coach." Chang Hongxia glared at him.
The captain's severe annoyance and anger stung Jin Lili. She begged, "No, Sister Xia! I know I was wrong. Don't tell the coach..."
Zhu Qi felt something was wrong when she heard this. She raised her hand and said, "Wait a minute, give me the 700 yuan first."
The cat is ashamed.
From the first day of joining the Cun Guidance Group, Coach Cun told Maomao to focus on himself and not worry about others.
Competition within the team is everywhere, and only by improving yourself first can you have the capital to speak.
Betting on football has always been a "little game" in the team.
When the cats first arrived, the bets were just a dime or two, then it grew to fifty and a dollar. After the coach stopped them a few times, he realized the team members were winning and losing back and forth, and they just treated it as a form of "fun" between them, so he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
But soon, the behavior deteriorated.
The amount of money betted is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of bets is getting bigger and bigger.
Maomao also began to feel that something was wrong with the situation, and gradually she stopped participating in such things. Because she was a good fighter, others would not come to her to cause trouble.
Not long ago, Ren Xinhua issued a clear ban on gambling within the team, and the captain of the women's team also repeatedly ordered that gambling be prohibited.
But once a trend is formed, how can it be easily eradicated?
Everyone will just continue to do their tricks in secret, and no one will act as a snitch.
This was the first time that Maomao interfered in other people's affairs. He called the female team captain Chang Hongxia over to stop Jin Lili from bullying the young team members. However, when she arrived, she found that the person fighting with Jin Lili had become Zhu Qi.
Then I heard that Zhu Qi and Jin Lili’s “gambling money” was as high as 700 yuan!
How can this be?
Chang Hongxia is the most senior veteran in the team and belongs to the same group of players as Xu Dong and He Qianlu.
She is 27 years old this year and has won the most gold medals among the current players of the women's team.
In the minds of all the players, Chang Hongxia has almost the same status as the coach, and no one dares to say a word.
She glanced sideways at Zhu Qi and looked him up and down from head to toe.
Zhu Qi felt that the way she looked at him was a little strange. He couldn't tell why, but he felt that it was similar to the expression Xu Dong occasionally gave him.
They are all looking at another person through themselves.
Sometimes, Xu Dong would be stunned when looking at himself.
It was as if at a certain point in time, when she saw Zhu Qi, time stopped, everything faded away, and she returned to a memory deep in her soul.
Zhu Qi served as the carrier of that memory, allowing Xu Dong to recall some fragments that only she knew.
But Chang Hongxia was more of a sizing-up, her eyes like the red light of a scanner, more like a team leader's scrutiny of his subordinates. Finally, she said calmly, "Baobao, right? I'll handle this matter. You might not have been told when you first arrived, and you saw players gambling, thinking the national team was allowed to do so. But in fact, gambling is now clearly prohibited within the team. I'll have Jin Lili return all the money your group has lent. As for you..."
Zhu Qi interrupted her, "I don't think this matter can be resolved simply by returning the money. The senior team members are bullying the junior players. They know that their skills are far inferior to theirs, but they still gamble with them. They are extorting money under the guise of training. This is bullying."
The new Golden Throne and the captain are clashing!
The young team members watching nearby held their breath.
No one dared to show up, and everyone lowered their heads and stood aside like little mushrooms.
"Who are you calling a bully?!" Jin Lili was shaking with anger. She pointed at Zhu Qi and shouted. "You just want money, right? Fine! I'll get it for you right now!"
"Shut up!" Chang Hongxia yelled. "Why are you yelling when you've done something wrong? Do you think you're right?!"
"Sister Xia, I know she's arrogant. A fifteen-year-old 'Golden Throne' is incredibly impressive. Who on the national team hasn't won a world championship? Who hasn't competed in the three major tournaments? What right do you, a rookie, have to give orders right after arriving? You've only been with the national team for a few days? You haven't even figured out the rules yet. Do you think you're so great just because you won the World Cup?"
Zhu Qi scoffed and raised his head slightly. "You're right. The World Cup is just the starting point of my career for me. It's really quite impressive. But it might be different for you. Let's talk about it after you win it first."
"You!" Jin Lili became even more annoyed, her whole body shaking stiffly.
The others gasped.
This little girl refuses to listen to any words or suggestions. What does she want to do?
It turns out that he has the same personality as He Qianlu. What the Buddha said is right.
Even more difficult to deal with than He Qianlu, he won't let go once he bites.
Chang Hongxia glanced at Zhu Qi again, then glared at Jin Lili with a dark face: "She's not wrong, why are you so dissatisfied?"
This sentence became the last sentence that broke Jin Lili. She knew that the captain would not forgive her, but she didn't expect that he would completely favor the newcomer.
Why?
Why are you targeting her like this?
She is not the only one who lost the World Cup!
Ding Shushu was eliminated in the first round!
Why did everyone think she was the hopeless loser after she came back from the competition?!
The coach criticized her frequent mistakes at the meeting, and her teammates also began to talk about her performance.
It’s not fair! It’s not fair! It’s not fair!!
She's not the only one betting on football!
Everyone is gambling, but she is just better at it and gets more money!
Just because of this Zhu Qi won the World Cup?
So even the captain is on her side?!
Jin Lili's fragile nerves, which had been tense since returning from the World Cup, finally broke at this moment. She screamed, "Then let's compete again! Follow the World Cup competition system! The loser will be out of the national team!"
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their toes, not daring to look at Chang Hongxia's furious expression at this moment.
Chang Hongxia also thought Jin Lili was crazy.
Originally, all that was needed in this matter was for Jin Lili to give in, apologize to A Shui and the others, return the money honestly, and promise not to gamble on football again.
"Lili!" Chang Hongxia pressed Jin Lili's shoulders and cursed. "I'll tell you one last time, apologize!"
"I don't!"
It's too late now.
As soon as Fo Ye and Xu Dong entered the training ground, they heard Jin Lili's hysterical words.
The former came over with a frown: "What's going on?"
When he caught sight of Zhu Qi, the Buddha frowned even deeper: "You again?"
Zhu Qi looked straight ahead, with a look of "Yes, it's me" on his face.
Only then did Maomao vaguely understand that Zhu Qi might have deliberately delayed until the coaching staff knew about it.
What...is she trying to do?
The head coach of the women's team is here.
Everyone quickly lined up in a long line.
There are still ten minutes until training starts.
In addition to Xu Dong's group, members from several other groups also entered the venue. Seeing the excitement here, they all came over.
The girls lined up in long lines on both sides of the north and south.
Maomao happened to be standing opposite Zhu Qi. She couldn't help herself and her eyes were attracted by Zhu Qi.
Maomao has never seen a girl like this since he started playing table tennis.
He exudes a competitive spirit.
Like a raging fire.
Hot and intense.
It really makes people want to get closer.
...Chang Hongxia recounted the entire incident verbatim.
When the Buddha heard the latter part, his face darkened.
The national team is now focusing on vicious competition. Ren Xinhua also said during the meeting that if gambling occurs again, everyone from players to coaches will be punished.
Seeing that the women's team's head coach remained silent, Ah Shui stepped forward and said, "Coach Jiang, Bao Bao played against Jin Lili for me. It was Jin Lili and I who bet on the game in the first place... If you want to punish someone, punish me!"
She couldn't let Zhu Qi help her and then act like a coward!
Several other members of Xu Dong's team also said, "And us!"
The Buddha turned his head to look at Xu Dong: "What do you say?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice that a member of my team was forced into a sexual contest by a team member, and that it was also for money." Xu Dong answered very cleverly. He first admitted that he had not been observant enough, and then put his team members in the perspective of victims.
This sentence also shows that Xu Dong favors the members of his own group.
"As for Baobao..." Xu Dong looked at Zhu Qi, a smile in his voice. "Just like Hongxia said, she had just joined the national team a few days ago and saw others gambling, thinking it was tacitly approved by the team, so she participated. It's my fault, too. I should have explained the rules of the national team to her in advance. So... let her write a self-criticism."
The Buddha opened his mouth, looked at the children in Xu Dong's group, and sighed, "Your head coach is really good to you. He always takes all the blame on himself. Zhu Qi, what do you say?"
"The coaching staff is indeed at fault. They shouldn't have condoned this 'betting' mentality in the first place." Zhu Qi said coldly, his hands behind his back. "In my opinion, there's no difference between betting one dollar and betting seven hundred. Once this opening is opened, a torrent will flow down, breaking the dam. Only when the top beam is crooked will the bottom beam be crooked."
Hearing this, the Buddha knew that this girl had figured it out.
He is the same as He Qianlu. As long as he thinks he is right, he will start to show off.
The coaching team was definitely not talking about Xu Dong, but was directly slapping him, the head coach of the women's team, in the face.
It was not until this time that Maomao finally understood her intention.
He had called the captain over because he wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. To put it bluntly, he also wanted to act as a middleman so as not to offend either side.
But Zhu Qi wanted to completely rectify this trend.
Such a person has the courage and means to change current events, like a politician.
The cat appreciates it very much.
The cat likes it very much.
Zhu Qi doesn’t know what others are thinking now, but she knows that the Buddha is very angry.
The Buddha glared, and his already protruding eyeballs became even more frightening. Everyone held their breath, hoping to minimize their presence, for fear that the Buddha's shipment would affect innocent people.
"The problem is all with the coaching staff? Don't you have any problems at all? If you think there are problems within the team, you can report them to the coaching staff! Why are you using wrong to fight wrong?! You're full of banditry!"
"I'm not the only one who didn't report it to the coaching staff." Zhu Qi looked around, implying that all the onlookers were accomplices who condoned this "game."
The Buddha was choked and couldn't say anything for a long time.
But his stomach was bulging like a balloon that was about to burst.
Xu Dong felt a little uneasy. Oh no, the Buddha was angry.
Xu Dong quickly gave a look to Chang Hongxia next to him.
Before the Buddha could lose his temper, Chang Hongxia quickly announced, "Anyone who watches the game or stirs up trouble will be punished by running 10,000 meters." Then she added, "Maomao and the players in Coach Xu's group won't have to run 10,000 meters. Effective immediately, you'll start training when you finish your run. If you miss a lap, you'll be suspended for a week."
The captain of the women's team gave the order, and the onlookers lined up in a long queue to go out for the penalty circle. Only a few people involved were left there waiting for their fate.
Chang Hongxia then began to appease Mr. Fo: "Coach Jiang, if this matter can be resolved internally, then it should be resolved internally. It would be bad if it were to spread to other national teams or the Sports Committee. But Bao Bao also has a point. A three-foot-thick ice doesn't form overnight. Chairman Ren has always wanted to correct this matter. Why not use this as an opportunity to put an end to the 'betting on football' trend once and for all."
Jin Lili opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but was glared back by Chang Hongxia.
Chang Hongxia had warned her before, and if the warning was ineffective, she would have to be severely punished.
The Buddha really wanted to say a few more words to Zhu Qi, but seeing this little girl staring at him with her eyes wide open, as if saying, "If you want to reason with me, I'll debate with you for hundreds of rounds," he felt that she was just like He Qianlu. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he just said, "You can do whatever you want," and turned and left.
"Coach Xu Dong's team will handle this themselves," Chang Hongxia said, then turned to Jin Lili. "As for you, write a self-criticism and post it on the national team bulletin board. Then, after you repay all the money you won from gambling, you'll be fined 500 yuan and handed over to the national team. In addition, you'll be suspended for six months."
Suspension for half a year?!
Jin Lili raised her head and looked at Chang Hongxia in disbelief.
This means that I cannot participate in any foreign or domestic competitions in the next six months!
Her world ranking will fall out of the top ten!
Because she has no competition preparation, she will become a sparring partner for others!
"No, Sister Xia, don't stop my game. I will never do this again, please. Talk to the coach again..." Jin Lili begged.
Chang Hongxia ignored her, took her things and left with Master Fo, leaving Jin Lili standing there alone...
The girls in Xu Dong's group looked at each other, and suddenly showed a unified expression of surprise!
Is that the end? They didn't get punished?!
"Wooah—" Ah Shui jumped up, stretched out her arms from behind and wrapped them around Zhu Qi, swinging her whole body back and forth on Zhu Qi. "You're awesome! I love you so much! From today on, I'm your Shui! I want to be the best with you in the world!"
When Zhu Qi was hugged by her like this, he felt like a big toy was hanging on him.
"Can you tell me how you know if the ball is spinning?" Ah Shui pleaded, pulling her hand. "The coaches all say Jin Lili's ability to conceal her spinning is top-notch. No one on the team can catch it except the captain and Maomao. How do you do it?"
"Yeah, yeah, this is the first time I've seen her suffer such a big loss!"
"Baobao, you're so awesome!"
"The Buddha didn't even mention you just now, you're so awesome!"
Zhu Qi was delighted by the compliment. She carried her ball bag to the training ground and shook her head, "What's so difficult about this?" Then, she pointed to her ear and said, "Listen to the sound."
"Huh? Sound?!" Ah Shui pulled his ear and asked curiously. "How do you hear the sound?"
"Whether a ball spins or not depends on the friction of the ball against the racket. If you can't tell the difference visually, listen to the sound of the ball rubbing against the racket. A longer friction sound means it spins, and a shorter friction sound means it doesn't."
"Fuck! Is this possible?! Why can't I hear it?" The others shouted.
The girls surrounded Zhu Qi with admiring eyes.
"We are all players who follow Coach Xu. How about letting Baobao be the team leader from now on?"
"Okay, okay, I absolutely agree with King Throne being the team leader!"
"That's fine with me! Then Baobao will be our team leader from now on!"
"Wait, I didn't say I wanted to be one..." Zhu Qi.
"To celebrate our new team leader!" Ah Shui patted his chest, took out his last 20 yuan, and said casually, "I'll treat you to a soda! After Jin Lili returns the money, how about we go back to the South Canteen and get a small private room? We'll welcome the new team leader!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Order some side dishes and eat together!"
“The fish head rice we had last time was delicious!”
"I vote for the fire..."
Xu Dong stood by and watched the girls enthusiastically surrounding Zhu Qi, feeling a very strange emotion in his heart.
This girl was born for table tennis.

Maomao was called aside by her head coach. Coach Cun pointed at Zhu Qi, who was surrounded by girls not far away, and said, "She will be your biggest competitor in the future."
