175 Riyadh World Games-Mixed Team
◎You are the best table tennis player and the greatest athlete.◎
This time, the Hong Kong team came prepared and caught the Chinese team off guard in both doubles matches.
After seeing the Chinese team lose the first two doubles games in the ward, Ren Xinhua's expression did not show, but the heart rate monitor next to him showed severe abnormalities.
Because Chang Hongxia was worried, she and Xu Dong took turns to look after the patient in the ward.
When she saw this scene, Chang Hongxia almost turned off the TV, fearing that Ren Xinhua would see an unacceptable scene and faint again.
But Ren Xinhua managed to keep himself calm. He sat on the bed and asked Chang Hongxia to turn on the TV again. He listened to the Arabic coming from the screen. Although he didn't understand it, he could tell how dangerous the Chinese team was just by watching the game.
In fact, Chang Hongxia didn’t understand why Zhu Qi arranged the personnel list in this way.
If Zhu Qi and A Shui played in the women's doubles in the second round, and Maomao played in the women's singles, the winning rate might be higher.
Chang Hongxia didn't understand, but Ren Xinhua did.
After seeing both doubles matches lost, Ren Xinhua realized that the Hong Kong team had been silent for the past two years and had really cultivated several very capable players.
Among them was Fat Tiger, who had been demoted from the national team.
When Fat Tiger was in the national team, although his performance was average, he was trained as a reserve for a period of time.
At that time, Ren Xinhua also paid special attention to Fat Tiger for a period of time, and found that this guy was a smaller version of Big Bear. His skills and tactics were very similar to Big Bear's, but he lacked some touch.
In Ren Xinhua's career, he had seen at least 7,000 or 8,000 players of this type, if not tens of thousands.
She divided the athletes into three categories.
The first category is players who possess both talent and hard work, such as Zhu Qi and Maomao. They are definitely the focus of the national team's development and can support future competitions.
One type is those with more talent than effort, like Qin Xiaoba and Jin Lili. Athletes like these can only rely on their coaches to pull, tug, and push them, and who knows, maybe even force a world champion out of them.
One type is like Mori Yumin and the current women's team players, Sasa and Yuyu. They may lack touch, but with enough effort, they can make up for any lack of talent. This type of player also shares a characteristic: after extensive, repetitive training, they might suddenly "hit the mark." Once they do, they're unstoppable, a phenomenon known as the "accumulation of strength leads to sudden bursts of talent."
Fat Tiger does not belong to any of these three categories.
When he was in the national team, Ren Xinhua also paid attention to some of Fat Tiger's training and found that although this kid had some skills, his mind was not focused on the game at all.
When he was in the national team, the coaching staff also gave Fat Tiger some opportunities to play outside, but he basically failed to seize them.
So when Fat Tiger was later expelled for violating discipline due to premature love, Ren Xinhua did not show any mercy.
Later, I heard that Fat Tiger went to the Hong Kong team, and Ren Xinhua started to pay attention to Fat Tiger's development again because he wanted to study outsourcing.
Fat Tiger initially served as a sparring partner for Mori Yunan in the Hong Kong team. Later, he gradually began to emerge in the Hong Kong team. Later, he also played many games on behalf of the Hong Kong team and won some places.
After all, the training methods of the Hong Kong team and the national team are different.
Because the Hong Kong team has fewer players and emphasizes Western scientific training methods, they have actually produced some good players in the past two years, and even Fat Tiger has made great progress.
What many people in the Chinese team did not expect was that the Hong Kong team actually recruited Tang Tang as well, which would absolutely not happen in the national team.
The Hong Kong team is not the first to have couples on the same team and compete together.
At the beginning, Little Snow and Pineapple Head from the Russian team were also a pair.
The Chinese team lost the first two games, and Chang Hongxia was upset, but they also watched the entire match. Chang Hongxia said to Ren Xinhua: "Apart from anything else, the two doubles combinations of the Hong Kong team are quite strong."
Chang Hongxia has always maintained this attitude: never deny her own failure, nor ignore the strength of her opponent.
Maomao and Daxiong's condition also had problems, including Zhu Qi who played in the second women's doubles match with Maomao. It seemed that all of their moves were within the opponent's expectations and they were completely controlled by the opponent.
Ren Xinhua frowned as he waited for the third game to begin, while thinking about the reasons for his losses in the first two games.
Every game was [3:2], a rare loss.
In terms of individual level, Ren Xinhua felt that every player of the Chinese team was number one, but they were caught off guard by the Hong Kong team in doubles, an event that requires coordination.
Because the Hong Kong women's doubles team used a strong and explosive tactic.
/
"Powerful and explosive charge?" When several young players in the stands heard coach Xu Dong talk about this technique and tactics, their faces were filled with curiosity and question marks.
The Chinese team is now two games behind.
If I lose another game, I will only be able to compete for the bronze medal.
Xu Dong had watched a European competition before, where a white women's doubles pair used this kind of aggressive coordination tactic.
This doubles technique is very advanced, but the effect is far inferior to that of the Hong Kong team's women's doubles.
Xu Dong explained to the young players behind him, "As you all know, the ground rush has always been a powerful killer move. But normally, in individual competitions, one person can't perform a continuous ground rush. Because swinging the racket, hitting the ball, falling to the ground—and then standing up and returning to the original attacking state, and continuing to swing the racket, hitting the ball, and falling to the ground again—the difficulty coefficient is too high. Almost no one can do it. But in doubles, it is possible..."
For example, when Zhu Qi and Maomao were playing women's doubles just now, it was a very exciting situation after one of the two girls from the opposite Hong Kong team fell to the ground and rushed back, and the other one was able to keep up with this strong burst and repeat the burst a second time.
Logically speaking.
After Zhu Qi defended against several explosive balls in the world competition, the whole world knew that Zhu Qi was not afraid of explosive balls. It can even be said that Zhu Qi is the only player who can force a counter-explosive ball.
It is almost impossible to kill Zhu Qi with a burst ball.
But the difference in doubles is that when two high-intensity explosive charges come towards each other, it is difficult for Zhu Qi and Maomao to defend no matter how strong their personal abilities are.
The Hong Kong team's women's doubles team has undergone special training in "double explosion", and all of them are power-type female players.
It was not until a long time later, when Zhu Qi was chatting with the Hong Kong team players, that he learned that the Hong Kong women's doubles team had practiced this technique for a full three years, setting aside three hours every day to practice positioning and strength.
In fact, the women's doubles loss was a loss, but the men's doubles loss in the first match was also a loss, which was very unfavorable for the overall situation of the Chinese team.
And most importantly, Xu Dong felt that Zhu Qi seemed to have health problems.
After the fifth women's doubles match, Zhu Qi, whose figure was magnified several times on the screen, looked pale and a little unsteady when she walked.
Immediately afterwards, the Chinese team made a very shocking choice.
The CCTV commentator's tone of voice was rather regretful when commenting on the match: "The Chinese team's coach has surrendered the rights of the underdog to the referee, and the third game will proceed directly to the mixed doubles match. Our players Zhu Qi and Song Linzhou will face Hong Kong's Liu Xinhu and Tang Ziyi... I think this is probably to win the first game, to give the Chinese team a big game point, and to relieve the pressure in the subsequent singles matches..."
The mixed doubles match was between Fat Tiger and Tang Tang.
While preparing for the competition, Zhu Qi was in a very low mood. He sat alone in the waiting room, his arms on his knees, his head lowered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Song Linzhou went to find her a cup of glucose powder. When he handed it to Zhu Qi, Song Linzhou saw that her whole body was soaked with sweat.
It was clearly just the clothes I had just changed, and I had only put them on for less than five minutes, but it felt like water would drip out if I wrung them out.
Zhu Qi asked the Buddha to start the third game directly with mixed doubles.
A Shui and Qin Xiaoba were originally against it because they thought Zhu Qi had just finished playing women's doubles and was now exhausted. How could she continue to play mixed doubles?
But Song Linzhou could understand.
"Are you afraid... that Ah Shui and Xiao Ba will lose another game, and that they won't be able to accept the defeat? And that they will be scolded when they return to China?" Song Linzhou asked her.
Ever since Ren Xinhua fell ill, Zhu Qi has not only been responsible for the team's training tasks and competition events, but also has to study from beginning to end all the technical and tactical play and strengths and weaknesses of the foreign players they will encounter, and then arrange his own game roster based on their abilities.
It's both stressful and exhausting.
"You're too tired." Song Linzhou looked at her pale face, feeling a little flustered. "Are you..."
Song Linzhou reached out to see if she had a fever, but Zhu Qi reached out and grabbed Song Linzhou's hand in advance, preventing him from touching her hot forehead.
Zhu Qi shook his head: "I'm fine."
I feel hot and cold at the moment, and my head feels dizzy when playing women's doubles.
Song Linzhou was right. Zhu Qi didn't want A Shui and Qin Xiaoba to take responsibility, so he wanted to find a way to get a point first.
Ren Xinhua handed the team over to her, so she naturally had to bear all the responsibilities.
And most importantly, Zhu Qi felt that he was sweating and his head was a little clearer.
Zhu Qi was afraid that if he sat in the coaching seat for a while longer, his fever would relapse.
"Huh——" Zhu Qi let out a long sigh and stood up.
She began to wonder if Ren Xinhua would regret letting her take on the responsibility of this team if she was watching the game...
But Zhu Qi also knew that based on her understanding of Ren Xinhua, perhaps Ren Xinhua would only blame herself, the head coach, for not fulfilling her job responsibilities.
But Zhu Qi would blame himself.
She has played in many competitions of all sizes before and encountered many difficult situations.
This also included the women's singles semi-final with Jamie. At that time, almost no one expected Zhu Qi to win, but she still won.
But at those times, Zhu Qi played singles.
Now it's doubles...
Thinking of the abrasion on Song Linzhou's waist, which was still bleeding when he put on his clothes in the morning.
These two are a sick duo.
Zhu Qi scratched his dizzy head, looked up at Song Linzhou and said with a wry smile: "If you lose, you will have to be scolded with me."
Song Linzhou curled his fingers slightly, his palms felt warm, then he loosened his fists and patted Zhu Qi's shoulder.
"You are the best table tennis player, the greatest athlete. You have won so many honors and defeated so many opponents. You have given so much to this team, and you will not fall this time. I believe in you. I will not let you be scolded..."
His hands were shaking as he touched Zhu Qi's hot shoulders.
