Chapter 141: The World Championships are coming
When Gu Yang walked out of Zhang Guohua's office, his brain was almost blank. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Guohua's words were so shocking that even he, a traverser, couldn't accept them all at once.
In Gu Yang's mind, the conversation with Zhang Guohua just now still lingered.
"Why has the Kuroda family disappeared internationally for more than 20 years?"
"Do you think that Wu Lao has half of the right to speak in the ITTF just talking, that is what he won from the Kuroda family!"
……
"Then why is the Kuroda family constantly stretching out their black hands now, isn't he afraid of Elder Wu?"
"After all, Mr. Wu is old, unlike back then, if the black hand of the Kuroda family was not too extended, it would be impossible for Old Wu to go to Japan in person and go to the headquarters of the Kuroda family!"
……
"What you have to do now is to grow up as quickly as possible and grow to the height of Elder Wu, so that you can prevent the Kuroda family from rising again, otherwise...... Above the sky of the world table tennis arena, the haze has risen again......"
After Zhang Guohua finished saying this last sentence, he sighed heavily and motioned for Gu Yang to leave.
Gu Yang walked on the road, biting his lower lip tightly, his clenched fists trembling slightly.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a family in the world table tennis world, and the teacher's peak strength back then was so powerful that he could win half of the ITTF seats from the Kuroda family!" Gu Yang sighed and strengthened his belief.
"Starting from the World Championships in June, I have been approaching the height of the teacher step by step, and surpassing the teacher!"
After the private meeting with Zhang Guohua, Gu Yang and others resumed their daily closed training again.
As for Waldner's challenge, the Republican Table Tennis Association directly rejected it to the "friendly......
In April, the training intensity of Gu Yang and other official team members reached the highest in history.
Fan Ying was the first player to endure the intense training, and in mid-April, Fan Ying voluntarily announced that she would withdraw from the selection quota for the World Championships.
Starting from Fan Ying, some players have taken the initiative to quit because they can't withstand the strong training and psychological pressure.
In fact, they also understood that even if they didn't take the initiative to withdraw, it would be impossible for them to compete with Gu Yang and others in the selection competition in May.
Instead of this, it is better to quit early and reduce the stress.
In July 2018, Gu Yang took off a layer of skin, Chen Jing fainted in front of the table, and Xu Chen broke the racket on the ground in general......
Li Ning, Wang Junwen and the others didn't understand why Gu Yang and the three of them were training so desperately, only the three of them understood that if they didn't train like this, it would be difficult to deal with the black hands of the Kuroda family at any time.
Under such high-intensity training, the strength of Gu Yang and the three of them is improving at an incredible speed.
At the beginning of May, Zhang Guohua organized a closed competition for Gu Yang and five others.
No one knew the result of the five-person game, but when Zhang Guohua walked out of the ball room where Gu Yang and the other five people were playing, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
In mid-May, the national team's trials for the World Championships in Italy officially began.
In men's table tennis, a total of 15 members of the national team participated in the selection competition, and only five players were selected this time.
On the day of the tryouts......
Zhang Guohua stood in front of the fifteen official team members and said the opening remarks before the trials: "Everyone also knows that today's game is to select players for the upcoming World Championships in Italy, and the significance is self-evident. I won't say more nonsense, the game begins! ”
Zhang Guohua waved his hand, and the selection competition officially began!
In the training room, Gu Yang and the others began to group freely to conduct the warm-up competition before the trials, and the sound of table tennis suddenly sounded in the training room.
The warm-up game was soon over, and the next part was the draw for the players to be divided into groups.
The draw was carried out quickly, and after a while, the opponents of the game were separated.
The first game, Li Ning VS Zhang Xun!
The second game, Wang Junwen VS Li Gang!
In the third game, Chen Jing VS track and field!
In the fourth game, Xu Chen vs Wang Xiaobo!
……
As for Gu Yang, he was unlucky, and he had a bye directly, and the team took into account his strength and let him be selected directly.
One point to mention here is that after Zhang Xun and Fan Ying, the national team has risen a young player and is among the official players.
It made Gu Yang regret that the Dragons were not selected for the national team, but it was not that his strength was not enough, but that the Dragons team's training time in the provincial team was too short, and the national team bigwigs made a decision after considering many factors.
The contest between the 14 official members of the current national team will start in turn after the draw is over.
Gu Yang had a lucky bye, so he could sit on the sidelines and watch everyone's game.
When Zhang Xun learned that his opponent was Li Ning, he quickly put away his playful look.
In the usual training, Zhang Xun and Li Ning have had many matches, but he has never won one, and in this selection match, he was ready to be eliminated in advance.
The game began with a few happy and a few sad.
The match between Zhang Xun and Li Ning was extremely exciting, and Zhang Xun, who was put to death, played the highest level this year, and one by one beautiful smashes and slashed balls, which caused great obstacles to Li Ning.
However, Li Ning, who is on the left hand of Kaifeng, has almost increased his strength several times, and Fan Ying, who plays extraordinarily, is still no match for Li Ning, who has super strength.
"I lost, I lost to you, I don't lose!" After the game, Zhang Xun laughed and said, now Li Ning's level is extremely close to Gu Yang, Zhang Xun lost to him, it is really not wrong.
As for the other groups of games, it was also very exciting, and the players in the game played their strongest level, whether they won or lost, they had a clear conscience.
In the second group, Wang Junwen defeated Li Gang cleanly and qualified for the World Championships.
In the third group, Chen Jing easily won the game and also qualified for the World Championships......
The trials ended like this, and the list of participants for the World Championships in Italy was determined: Gu Yang, Xu Chen, Li Ning, Wang Junwen, and Chen Jing became the team members representing the Republic in the World Championships.
A few days later, Gu Yang and his entourage began to fly to Italy, and their trip to the World Championships was about to begin!
On May 25, 2018, the delegation of the Republic arrived in Rome, the capital of Italy, and stayed in a hotel arranged by the organizers to do acclimatization training for the upcoming competition.
The start time of June 6 has finally arrived in everyone's anticipation......
