50 Tokyo World Games-Mixed Team
◎【2nd update】This girl... this girl is... a witch! ◎
“…” In the original fragrance.
"Damn it!" Inarihara.
Why is this happening?
What is the coaching staff doing?
Such carelessness in keeping secrets! ?
Judging by the proficiency of this Chinese guy, it doesn't look like he's just discovered the existence of loop balls!!
Zhu Qi has always relied on strong spin to score points. Knowing the power of Japanese loop balls, he practiced hard for a long time.
But it doesn't feel right, and I always feel that the rotation angle is a little lacking.
The mode of training through competition is more suitable for her.
This amazing learning ability left all the coaches present dumbfounded.
Although Zhu Qi practiced for a long time, the equation was always missing the final answer.
Now, Yuan Xiang helped her fill in the answer.
Zhu Qi became more and more excited as he fought.
Wonderful!
It turns out that practice makes perfect!
The Japanese team is also very impressive.
Why is this happening?
How does this Chinese girl play loop balls?
They did such a good job of keeping it a secret!
Even if you watch some Japanese team game videos, you can't expect them to learn it so quickly! Even they can't guarantee that everyone can play it!
Xu Dong was very pleased. She knew that Zhu Qi was very interested in Japanese loop balls, but she had only practiced them halfway, so she didn't dare to tell other people in the team.
Things like technical systems are difficult to change once they are formed.
She didn't know if the other players on the team could give up the system they had practiced for more than ten years and switch to looping balls.
I don't know if they can achieve good results after changing the loop ball.
Zhu Qi didn't want to take on the responsibility and be responsible for the consequences of others changing their tactics.
It seems so now.
The effect of the loop ball is indeed unique.
Xu Dong also felt the impact of this style of play.
In the future, loop shots will replace traditional close-to-table fast attack styles and become popular all over the world.
Zhu Qi is catching up faster and faster because he has been practicing for a long time and has solid basic skills.
I have also conducted various studies in my daily life.
Now that this technology is applied to the competition field, it is even more handy.
Zhu Qi played more and more smoothly. Almost every ball in the third game ended in the third board. The score changed very quickly. In less than ten minutes, the Chinese team won with 11:7.
[Game 3, Zhu Qi 2:1 in Yuan Xiang]
The whole situation suddenly reversed.
Hara Xiang never thought that the loop ball that the Japanese team had studied and practiced for two years could be pulled off so easily by a Chinese girl.
Zhu Qi must have known the information in advance!
Understand the formation principle of loop ball!
And the practice time will definitely not be shorter than hers!
how so? !
Hara Kaori's rhythm was completely disrupted, and now the people on the Chinese team began to wonder - is this the level of the Japanese genius girl?
Chang Hongxia, who had played against Yuan Xiang before, nodded repeatedly, "The looping ball is truly worth seeing. Such explosive power is incredibly destructive to a straight-blade player. Bao Bao's learning ability is extraordinary; he sees the ball so clearly."
He Qianlu shrugged.
While talking.
The score on the field was stretched to 10:8.
Yuan Xiang's little universe suddenly exploded.
It was a wonderful change of pace shot.
It looked like the ball was going to the left side of the field, but it actually landed on the right side.
The Buddha was secretly anxious when he saw this.
After playing mixed doubles, Zhu Qi actually felt a little physically tired.
And she didn't rest at all. She was either practicing with the team members or practicing on her own to prepare for joining the mixed group.
She was still applying ice before going to bed last night. Although Lao Ren asked her how she felt before today's game, she said she was fine.
But it was obvious that Zhu Qi's speed had slowed down.
Inari also wanted to score by changing the line, and this trick seemed to work.
Zhu Qi's return ball went into the net.
Score another point for Yuanxiang.
Maomao gritted his teeth and thought to himself: Be steady, don't give him any chance!
[The third game was a small score, Zhu Qi 10:10 in Yuan Xiang]
Japanese fans started to get excited again.
Although he scored three points in a row, Yuan Xiang's expression was not very good.
She concentrated on gripping the racket and stared at the Chinese girl opposite who was preparing to serve.
I don’t know why, even though I was clearly scoring, I always felt that all the balls were in Zhu Qi’s control.
Every time she hits the ball, she can accurately control the landing point of her return ball.
Although two consecutive balls missed the net, the third ball grazed the top of the net when it came back.
Each ball returned higher than the last.
Zai Yuanxiang felt that she was being used by Zhu Qi to practice basketball, this was not a game at all!
Why does she?!
Some people in the audience also realized it. Gao Xiaofeng said, "Zhu Qi was trying to find a way to counter Yuan Xiang's high looping shot. He adjusted his racket shape with each return. The third ball was just a hair away from being a valid point."
Zhu Qi was so willing to use the score to trial and error!
How can a person be so cruel?
It seems that the word "give in" has never appeared in this contestant's dictionary.
Always charging forward.
Like a samurai.
The fourth ball finally came on stage!
Zhu Qi's episiotomy was successful!
When Yuan Xiang hit a loop ball at a very high angle, which landed on the edge of the table, Zhu Qi predicted the rising point of the ball, stood in the middle of the table to defend in advance, and stretched out the racket sideways to hit the white ball hard.
The ball made a "whoosh" sound and drew a crescent-shaped arc in the air, flying onto the table.
Then Gululu hit the rear fender.
[The third game was a small score, Zhu Qi 11:10 in Yuan Xiang]
The national flag on the chest of the girl in red fluttered, and crystal clear sweat condensed into beads on her porcelain-white skin, rolling across the girl's childish yet bright smile and falling along her neck.
Her eyebrows and eyes are sharp, releasing a huge capturing magnetic field.
The girl in red at the other end of the table seemed to be glowing.
Her body leaned back like a slingshot ready to fire, her top outlined a slim yet powerful waistline, and even her waving hand was shrouded in soft light.
All the Japanese fans took a deep breath at the same time, as if they could feel the pressure from this Chinese girl!
It was as if a temperatureless flame was burning around her!
This kind of rotation and speed is simply not something a normal person can produce!
This girl... this girl is...
It's a witch!
That’s right!!
They were able to push their Saint Girl to this extent!!
It must be a witch!
Japanese media flocked to the scene and gathered close enough to take pictures of this rising star of Chinese table tennis, trying to capture the clearest shots.
When Yuan Xiang served a quick forehand shot, Zhu Qi cut sideways with his backhand, and the ball swayed back. Yuan Xiang quickly hit a forehand loop shot, but it went out of bounds!
[The third game was a small score, Zhu Qi 12:11 in Yuan Xiang]
The girl in the camera uses her physical skills to the fullest and handles every ball perfectly!
This... is simply like the devil's daughter!
A witch who can push their genius girl into despair!
The last ball.
Yuan Xiang felt jealous because she had suffered a lot at the hands of Zhu Qi.
But I am very unwilling.
Hara Kaori regarded the Tokyo World Games as her own famous match, and she was really proud of winning the gold medal in women's doubles.
But for fans of this era, more emphasis is placed on singles and team events.
The former is a personal honor, while the latter represents the strength level of the entire country.
Doubles is actually the final event.
That’s enough!
Zai Yuanxiang didn't want to think about those messy things anymore. Since large-angle movements no longer worked on Zhu Qi, she could only try to hit a chase ball.
Zhu Qi can bend down to dodge a backhanded shot, creating a return opportunity for his mixed doubles partner. So, when it comes to singles, he shouldn't have to dodge a backhanded shot again, right?!
The Japanese girl was almost desperate, kneeling on the ground, with her arms bent back into an arch! Accumulating power for a strike!
The white ball is moving with unstoppable momentum!
Hit the middle!
Bang!
Bounce on the midline point!
But everyone was stunned to see the Chinese girl turn around the moment Yuan Xiang hit the ball! Her back was facing her opponent!
It seemed as if he had eyes on the back of his head, and he held the racket as if to shoo away the mosquitoes buzzing around his ears, and swung it lightly to the right.
The white ball made a sound like a little fish blowing bubbles on the table - pop! Dadada... It rolled onto the table in front of Yuan Xiang, then fell along the tabletop and landed at Yuan Xiang's feet!
In Yuanxiang's case, it felt like being struck by lightning.
Watching the white ball slowly rolling away, it seemed to be mocking her.
The whole place fell silent—and then erupted into the most enthusiastic screams, applause, and cheers ever seen at the World Games!
"Wonderful! So wonderful!" The foreign fans were all excited, and the Chinese fans were even more excited! "Wow! Awesome! Awesome!!"
Zhu Qi calculated the trajectory of the ball!
I calculated the probability that Yuan Xiang would not be able to catch the ball after it was hit back!
Her control over the white ball subverts everyone's cognition!
She...how did she do it?
Zhu Qi didn't look at Zai Yuanxiang's expression, but she remembered many years later that when she shook hands with Zai Yuanxiang, Zai Yuanxiang's fingers were shaking.
She knew that at that moment, she had become Yuan Xiang's lifelong nightmare.
Well...she is now a nightmare for many people.
All the cameras nearby were switching back and forth, repeatedly confirming whether they had captured Zhu Qi's wonderful "turn and hit" operation!
Some of those who were not recorded started selling them everywhere, hoping that those who had taken the photos would sell them a backup copy.
In the fifth mixed doubles match, Zhu Qi and Song Linzhou also quickly won with [3:0].
In the words of Chinese sports media, Zhu Qi's performance against the Japanese team was like "a mother beating her child, without reason."
I originally thought it was a great start.
I didn’t expect that the Chinese team actually advanced successfully!
When they won the mixed doubles, Zhu Qi was hugged by his teammates before he had time to cheer.
Ah Shui screamed and rushed down from the stands, followed closely by Maomao, Xu Dong, Chang Hongxia and Ding Shushu.
The men's team also rushed over together and surrounded their teammates.
For a moment.
The entire table was surrounded by athletes in red clothes.
Very eye-catching.
They hugged Zhu Qi tightly, and several of them laughed and shouted in Zhu Qi's ears at the same time, drowning out his voice.
“Oh my god, who stepped on my foot!!”…………
/
Sports reports wrote several articles praising Zhu Qi's performance in the mixed team at the World Games.
[The Chinese team has launched its P-card program again after eight years, and the rising star of the women's table tennis team shines in Tokyo!]
Young female player Zhu Qi shines in Japan, winning her singles bout!
[Winning a crucial point for the Chinese mixed team, the future of women's table tennis—"Wu Qu Star" Zhu Qi!]
The last time I got my P card, it was taken away because of He Qianlu’s accident.
This time the p card was issued because Zhu Qi was needed to take the lead.
The gears of fate.
Sometimes it's really dramatic.
Because Zhu Qi performed well in the mixed team event.
After returning that day, Ren Xinhua asked Zhu Qi to give a speech in front of all the staff on how to deal with Japanese players.
Zhu Qi said: "Although Japan's looping ball is powerful, it is not invincible. They rely too much on forehand looping balls, and their playing style is monotonous. Their backhand is very empty and weak, especially in a stalemate. As soon as they switch to the backhand with a backhand, they are defeated."
After the collective applause, Ren Xinhua concluded, "In the first round of the mixed team against the Japanese team, we narrowly escaped death. It was the women's team that brought life to the entire team. In the past, you little boys always thought the girls' balls were inferior and their strokes were soft, and you were reluctant to practice with them or play in mixed doubles. This defeat is a good thing for you. It allows you to take a good look at yourselves, lower your noble heads and examine your own strengths. You really should learn from Da Ling. When we asked Da Ling to practice mixed doubles, he picked up his racket and went without a second thought. Now that he and the women's team have won the mixed doubles gold medal, you are all jealous. Where were you all before?"
Everyone looked at Zhu Qi, who held his head high and chest puffed out.
Ren Xinhua added, "If you want to play mixed doubles with the women's team now, they might not even bother you. Do you know what the news reports are calling you? The son-in-law of the national table tennis team! Maybe in two years, the national table tennis team will be the same as the women's volleyball team, and directly changed to the women's national team, kicking all of you brats out! If you continue to drag down the women's team in future matches, you'll just be the kitchen boys when you go back."
The women's team laughed loudly, while the men's team smiled bitterly and said they would try their best.
That's what I said.
But Ren Xinhua left the coaches alone and said, "We need to take Japan's looping game seriously. When we get back, pick out a group of players and have them practice looping intensively. We'll call them the Looping Group...and let Zhu Qi be the group leader."
The coaches nodded in agreement.
But one person was not in high spirits.
That’s right, it’s Lord Buddha.
He found Zhu Qi alone and prepared to discuss the third mixed group match.
The women's team players are afraid that Fo Ye will surpass Ren Xinhua.
Although Chairman Ren scolds people more often, he is generally friendly to girls as long as they don't make any mistakes.
Buddha is not.
He always has a stern face when dealing with everyone. Even though it is generally acknowledged that he values cats, he always finds fault with them in person.
It is simply impossible to expect him to praise people in person.
Whenever the women's team heard "Master Buddha is calling you", these four words were as lethal as "the head teacher is calling your parents to come to school".
But Zhu Qi was not afraid. He stood in front of the Buddha with a calm expression, "waiting for instructions."
The Buddha put his hands behind his back and looked at her: "Do you know why I called you here?"
Zhu Qi didn't pretend: "I probably know."
"How roughly?"
"Because when you instructed me, I didn't listen."
The Buddha snorted: "You are honest, then tell me why you did this?"
He was furious.
It is a very serious problem that players do not listen to the coach's off-field instructions!
It's like a soldier going out to war disobeying orders and having affairs behind his commander's back!
There is no trust and honesty between each other.
If the players don't listen to instructions and the coach doesn't give the players advice, how can we play the game afterwards?
The Buddha had anticipated many answers from Zhu Qi, but he never expected that Zhu Qi would say it in a very pitiful tone.
"Because I feel like you don't value me."
Later, when Master Fo realized what was happening, he realized that this was Zhu Qi's cunning. He was trying to retreat in order to gain advantage and make Master Fo recognize his absolute leading position in the women's team.
But the Buddha was stunned at the time, and instead tried to comfort Zhu Qi: "Nonsense, how could I not value you? It was my suggestion that you get a P card."
Zhu Qi lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
She just happened to have a little sore eyes, but Mr. Buddha thought she was about to cry.
If you think about it carefully, since Zhu Qi came to the team until now, Master Fo really hasn't paid much attention to her. It has always been Xu Dong who takes the initiative to come to him and report Zhu Qi's recent training results and awards.
He gave Maomao off-field guidance forty or fifty times, but only gave Zhu Qi one time, which was when he was in a mixed group.
Looking at Zhu Qi now, although she's taller and stronger than when she first joined the team, table tennis is an indoor sport, away from the wind and sun. Her skin is still as white and tender as a peeled egg, fresh and pretty. Her face is full of collagen. She's lost a little baby fat, but she's still a 17-year-old girl.
When I think of this.
Foye suddenly remembered that when he was promoted from the Yannan Provincial Team by Ren Xinhua, he took the initiative to propose that he wanted to be the coach of the men's team, but Ren Xinhua insisted that he was more suitable to lead the women's team.
If I had known this earlier, I would have argued with Ren Xinhua.
Take the little boy, kick him a few times, hit him a few times, or give him some corporal punishment. It’s okay to do whatever you want to the thick-skinned boy.
But the little girl cannot be taken lightly or seriously.
If I don't say too much, I'm afraid they won't be able to get the hang of it. If I say too little, it won't have any educational effect.
Ren Xinhua is more gentle with girls, so he can only be the bad guy. As a result, these little girls still scold him for being an old-fashioned person behind his back every day. It's really...
Zhu Qi is very quick-witted when playing, often coming up with clever little details. He has a lot of serve variations and enjoys innovation.
The disadvantage is that she has her own ideas, and the coach's words are just suggestions to her. It is up to her whether to adopt them or not.
Thinking of this, Foye took the initiative to praise someone for the first time: "You are a player with your own ideas. This is your advantage. On the court, your brain is flexible and you can adapt to changes... But you must communicate with me in time. I am your head coach, not your enemy. We are all trying to win gold medals for the country. Your ideas are more likely to win the game. How can I stop you? Okay, you just finished the game and you are tired. Don't do this next time. Let's go."
Zhu Qi always regarded this kind of communication with Master Fo as the kind of rigid teacher he hated the most in school.
In many behaviors, they just want to avoid mistakes and do everything according to the rules. They are afraid that they will make mistakes first, so they stubbornly demand that everyone else be excellent in a rote manner.
The best way to deal with this kind of "teacher" is to shut him up with grades.
Zhu Qi will go back the same way he came.
Ah Shui was waiting for her at the stairs on the first floor of the coaching hotel. Seeing Zhu Qi looking normal, he asked, "Did the Buddha say anything?"
"No, just let me tell him in advance if there are any changes to the tactics in the future."
"That's good." Ah Shui patted his chest. "I don't think he'd want to say anything bad about you. You're the backbone of the women's team now. Tomorrow we'll play against the Athens team, our old rival."
The Chinese team did not participate in world-class competitions for nearly ten years during the Cultural Revolution. Japan briefly dominated the team for a period of time, and before the 1960s, the Athens team was the only dominant team.
The Athens team's performance has been average in the past two years. They can occasionally be seen on the podium, but they cannot underestimate their opponents.
Before the list came out, no one thought that Ren Xinhua would let Zhu Qi and Chang Hongxia play in the second women's doubles match, Maomao in the women's singles match, and Chang Hongxia and Gao Xiaofeng in the last mixed doubles match.
Everyone felt that Zhu Qi performed well when playing against the Japanese team, so they would definitely let Zhu Qi play in women's doubles and women's singles, and end the battle in the first four games, so that men's doubles and men's singles would have a margin of error of one game.
So the Athens team specially selected one of their best female choppers to snipe Zhu Qi in the fourth game.
But after the list came out, the Athens team was collectively dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, the chopper they were preparing encountered a high-quality cat.
This time, Ren Xinhua predicted the Athens team's prediction and caught them by surprise.
But in the mixed team round of 16, although the first men's doubles match was a bit brutal, they finally won 3:2.
In the second women's doubles match, they were even more outstanding, ending the battle in 21 minutes and sweeping the field 3:0.
After Daxiong defeated Songfeng Yidou, his momentum suddenly ignited, and he showed no mercy to the Athens veteran. In the end, it was not Maomao's turn to play in the women's singles, and he was dismissed at lightning speed.
Zhu Qi had been prepared for a great fight, but she had nothing to do in the mixed group of the top 16, and she was off duty as fast as lightning after playing a match in women's doubles.
On the way back, Zhu Qi heard the coach of the Athens team running over to greet Mr. Buddha.
"Oh dear Jiang, how is your head coach? I heard she was hospitalized three years ago. How is her recovery now? I heard that women in your country retire at 53. Is she already over that age..."
Zhu Qi always felt that the other party might be spying.
The question is not about Ren Xinhua's physical condition, but whether Ren Xinhua will participate in the next Moscow World Games.
Because Ren Xinhua's roster always exceeds the expectations of external partners.
After that, I looked at the groups we would encounter later, and the only obstacle left was the final one - the Russian team.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of overcoming all obstacles and advancing successfully.
There was only one person following the group. When he was carrying the backpack, he felt as if his entire right shoulder was on fire, with unstoppable pain.
Maomao gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Even when Ah Shui joked with him, the forced smile looked a little ugly.
The effect of the blocking injection has disappeared and must be renewed.
However, because of the Tokyo World Games, Maomao had already received six injections, and when Coach Cun lifted her clothes to take a look, he found a small bulge on her right shoulder, which was obviously caused by fluid accumulation and pus formation.
Blockade injections can only relieve pain but cannot alleviate symptoms.
When the team doctor came to see her, he said she needed to go for an X-ray, physical therapy, drainage, and anti-inflammation immediately.
But now during the competition, the cat doesn’t even dare to take anti-inflammatory drugs.
There are still three days of competition left.
Maomao gritted his teeth and said to Coach Cun, "Even if I die, I have to survive these three days!"
/
After Ren Xinhua knew about Maomao's physical condition, he began to rearrange the order of the future mixed group members.
Fortunately, in the quarterfinals, they met the Yunwan team, which has always had a high winning rate, so Zhu Qi and Chang Hongxia played women's doubles and one women's singles, Ding Shushu and Gao Xiaofeng played five mixed doubles, and the cat took a rest.
Conservative treatment could only temporarily relieve the cat's pain. When it met the Russian team on the day of the final, the lump behind its shoulder was as hard as a rock.
Ah Shui was so heartbroken that he burst into tears.
While Maomao was getting an injection, Ah Shui covered his face and cried loudly, attracting the attention of other national players passing by the medical room.
Maomao couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you crying? Wait until I die and cry like this during my funeral."
Having said that, Zhu Qi felt a little reluctant when he saw the needle, as thick as a sewing needle, piercing into the cat's bone.
Fortunately, the hospital we contacted for the cat has a result, and it can be treated after the World Games.
If the recovery goes smoothly, there will be no problem in participating in the next Moscow Games.
Ah Shui sighed and followed her two sisters out with red eyes.
In fact, she does not have much desire to pursue these achievements. Her family is well-off and she does not need to make her family's life better by winning more gold medals like Zhu Qi and Maomao.
But A Shui really likes the little white ball.
When she was three years old, she passed by a table tennis hall. After just a quick look inside, she pestered her parents to sign her up for a special class.
Some people increase their joy by winning the table tennis championship.
Some people play table tennis to bring themselves joy.
A Shui belongs to the latter.
She said to Maomao, "I hope you can continue playing, and play with Baobao. With you two here, I feel at ease and can continue to have fun playing table tennis."
You can say that she has no ambition. She is not as talented as Zhu Qi, nor as hardworking as Maomao.
Everyone in the team has a unique mission.
Ah Shui felt that his mission was to serve as a sparring partner for Zhu Qi and Maomao.
In the future, the two of them will become an important chapter in history books, and perhaps her name, Fang Miao, will also be followed!
[Millennium Companion Star Grand Slam—Zhu Qi and Zu Tianjiao, and the women behind them!]
good.
You don't have to bear the huge pressure of the competition, you just need to be the atmosphere group behind the flag bearer and leave your name in history.
Zhu Qi said that this is called lying down but not giving up.
A Shui felt that this description was very suitable for him.
Ah Shui had a beautiful thought. When she looked up, she found that Maomao and Zhu Qi were looking at her. Zhu Qi asked, "I asked you to practice your right hand last time. How is it going?"
"Ah? I'm practicing. I've got to get used to it slowly anyway," Ah Shui said slowly. "Table tennis is a skill you learn as a child. I only started practicing with my right hand when I was fourteen, so I'm definitely not as good with my left."
As Maomao put on his clothes, he gave her instructions, "The men's team isn't doing too well right now, which serves as a reminder that we need a steady supply of talent. As the best of the new crop, Ah Shui, you need to seize the reins as soon as possible! You use inverted rubber with extended rubber, and you play with a fast backhand. If you can practice looping with Bao Bao, you'll be a future star player, and you'll definitely have no problem making the mixed team."
"Hey, there are four spots for the mixed team women's table tennis team. It's for you two plus Jin Lili... Oh, by the way, why didn't I see Jin Lili today?"
Zhu Qi poked her head and said, "How come the national table tennis player is slower than me in terms of news? She returned home early."
"Huh?" Ah Shui was dumbfounded. "Why? Was it because she smashed her racket? Was she punished by the coaching staff?"
Maomao said, "I heard that the coaching staff wanted to send her back to the provincial team, so Jin Lili ran back on her own. However... Sister Shushu meant that Jin Lili had already planned to quit the national team and play abroad."
This news is so explosive!
Ah Shui nearly fell off his stool. "No way? Just because they're sending her back to the provincial team?" Then Ah Shui realized what was happening. "Well, it's true. Sending an athlete back to the provincial team is basically giving up on them. I've never heard of anyone being able to play again after being sent back. Jin Lili is such a proud person, she definitely doesn't want to give up table tennis like that. But where does she want to go? She's not really going to Korea, is she?"
"It's either South Korea, Japan, or possibly Athens. I guess they're coming back early to prepare for tryouts in those two countries," Maomao sighed. "We showed up at the World Games again this time, and a lot of professional teams abroad want our national team players. Hey? Baobao? Why aren't you surprised at all?"
Compared with Ah Shui's astonishment, Zhu Qi was too calm.
Jin Lili went abroad to play basketball, and her development was the same as in her previous life.
Zhu Qi was certainly not surprised.
Ah Shui very considerately explained for Zhu Qi: "Bao Bao doesn't want to bother with her affairs. It's good that she's gone. The seventh floor will be quieter. But if she goes abroad... will we be rivals in the future?"
"Of course they are opponents." Zhu Qi disagreed.
"Then..." Ah Shui thought about it and finally said a guess. "Will she reveal your fighting system, strengths and weaknesses?"
Zhu Qi and Maomao were silent.
In this World Games, many outsourced people seemed to know in advance about Maomao's shoulder injury and Chang Hongxia's leg injury. They fought with Maomao directly many times, which aggravated the recurrence of Maomao's injuries.
The three girls left the medical room together, walking side by side in the moonlight.
Ah Shui, who has always been optimistic, said something insightful that is rare in life.
"Forget it, let her say it. Your biggest enemy is never your opponent. Sports competition is all about breaking through yourself and becoming the person closest to God."
/
The quarterfinals were also played very quickly. Zhu Qi and Maomao played women's doubles for the first time on the world-class stage, and they beat the opponent [3:1].
Although they have never played doubles together, they usually eat, live and train together.
They are so familiar with each other that they can match each other right away.
And with Zhu Qi next to him, Maomao didn't need to be the one to charge into battle. He felt very comfortable playing transition balls to Zhu Qi in the middle and long distance.
When Zhu Qi has weaknesses or is unable to score, Maomao will follow up with a rebound.
When they were in the quarterfinals, they met the Hungarian team again. They lost in the men's doubles but won in the women's doubles, men's singles and women's singles, and successfully advanced.
The Russian team next door successfully eliminated the South Korean team and advanced to the mixed team finals.
Many news media have noticed China's two dazzling companion stars.
One is the newly crowned women's singles World Games champion, and the other is the future of the Chinese women's table tennis team that supports the mixed team.
Japan's "Mirai" has already lost the mixed team competition and the whole team has gone back to adjust its status.
China's "future" is still sharpening its sword, preparing to win another gold medal.
A foreign reporter asked Maomao during an interview, "Now many people believe that Zhu Qi's level is close to the world's top level. What do you think of her performance in mixed teams?"
Maomao smiled and said, "I think the description of her being close to the top tier is not quite accurate. She is already a top tier player."
"Many people also believe that if Zhu Qi participates in this women's singles competition, you may not be able to retain your championship. What do you think about this?"
Anyone can hear the divisiveness in this question.
Maomao wasn't stupid. Knowing the reporter was Japanese, she practiced Chinese modesty to the end: "I think the person who brought up this topic is very thoughtful. I do lose to her often. But the so-called companion star relationship means that our futures are following in each other's footsteps. Fortunately, she and I are both Chinese. No matter who wins, we can raise the Chinese flag. That's the most important thing."
Maomao's answer was flawless.
Many people who want to sow discord among the players can only give up when they realize the difficulty.
When playing against the Russian team, Ren Xinhua made another bold decision.
Zhu Qi and Maomao will continue to play in women's doubles, Chang Hongxia will play in the fourth game of women's singles, and Daxiong will play in the third game of men's singles.
Buddha expressed his confusion: "Why put Bao Bao in the women's doubles? If the men's doubles and men's singles lose points, the women's singles will be in danger."
Ren Xinhua shook his head. "No, the Russian team is primarily composed of men's table tennis players, and their only high-level female player is Little Snow. This means that Russia's strategy is likely to quickly win the men's doubles, women's doubles, and men's singles matches, and not even play the fourth women's singles match with us. So I guess Little Snow might team up with another female player in women's doubles, which would increase the chances of winning if Baobao and Maomao were to talk to each other."
And this is indeed the case.
On the last day, when he saw the Russian team's entry list that included Little Snow and another female player in the women's doubles, he felt ashamed of himself.
Ren Xinhua is very foresighted and has a clear understanding of the overall situation.
Zhu Qi's looping skills improved dramatically after playing against the Japanese team, leaving young Snow overwhelmed.
Although the mixed doubles competition was only two weeks away, this Chinese girl had already changed so much that she was unrecognizable.
As long as Zhu Qi leaned over, he could hear the sound of the cat hitting the ball behind him.
