Chapter 60: All eyes on you
On March 5, 2017, the final of the U.S. Open was held as scheduled at the Detroit Table Tennis Base. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before mentioning the official competition, it is necessary to talk about Gu Yang's current ranking in the world football world.
As we've mentioned before, after Gu Yang defeated Malaysia's Lee, he made it to the top of the players' charts, ranking 325th in the general division.
Since the Open Championship was held, Gu Yang's ranking has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now Gu Yang's ranking on the player list is: 32nd in the medium.
There are three rankings of Hell, Senior, and Medium, from highest to lowest, and each of them has a thousand players on the list.
In other words, Gu Yang's current ranking in the world football world is 2032nd in the world!
At this level, in the world of football, he is already a second-rate player.
A second-rate player in the field of table tennis, in the Republic, is already considered a public figure.
Of course, with Gu Yang's arrogant personality, it is obvious that he does not have the consciousness of this public figure, and at this moment he is shirtless, sweating, practicing some basic movements in the training room.
Squeak!
The door of the training room was pushed open, Zhang Rong walked in, and said solemnly: "Let's go, the game is about to start!" ”
"Good!" Gu Yang put on his clothes, wiped his racket, grinned, and walked out with Zhang Rong.
It was 10 a.m. U.S. time......
Even though the Open Championship is not one of the pinnacle events in the football world, as the world's most popular ball game, the table tennis final, this hustle and bustle has successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Not only in the stadium, but also in all parts of the world, major TV stations have broadcast this event, and its popularity can be imagined.
In fact, part of the credit for this event to attract such a high degree of attention is really thanks to Gu Yang.
Gu Yang represents the players of the Republic, and the status of the Republic in the football world is somewhat special and embarrassing.
As the only supreme god in the football world, the brilliant achievements of the Republic are destined to leave a strong mark in the history of table tennis, however, today's Republic is just a third-rate ......
…… No, due to the efforts of Chen Jing and other generations of golfers, the status of the Republic in the football world has successfully risen to a second-rate position.
But even if Gu Yang is from a second-rate country, with Gu Yang's strength, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the players from the four divine kingdoms and successfully advance to the finals!
However, Gu Yang just turned the impossible into a possibility, and the perfect counterattack attracted the attention of too many people.
In front of the TV, Gu's mother and Gu's father sat on the sofa with solemn faces.
Shen City, Republic ......
Gu's mother complained slightly: "Don't you have an important case to take today, why did you come back?" ”
Father Gu laughed: "My son's final, at such a critical moment, how can I not pay close attention?" ”
"Li Hao, hurry up and go to bed, it's almost early in the morning, what are you still playing, there will be no class tomorrow!" Li Hao's mother shouted loudly in the living room.
Li Hao nested in his bedroom and responded: "Mom, I'll sleep later, I want to watch the live broadcast." ”
"What kind of live broadcast, hurry up and go to sleep for me!" When Li Hao's mother heard this, she immediately became angry.
"Mom, it's the live broadcast of Yangzi's finals!" Li Hao stared intently at the computer screen.
"The finals are not ......" Li Hao's mother was still shouting, and suddenly paused, "Xiao Yang's final? Xiao Yang made it to the finals? That's great, son, look good, no need to doze off! ”
"Gotta do it!" Li Hao covered his mouth and smiled.
National Team Training Base......
Qin Shumin looked at the big screen not far away, and when she saw the familiar little guy on the screen, she couldn't help but sneer: "I haven't seen you for a few months, have you come this far?" ”
"Grandpa, hurry up, the game is about to start, hurry up!" Wu Yiran's eyes stared straight at the screen, and shouted back from time to time.
"Come on, no hurry!" Wu Lao smiled and walked over.
On the other side, in a practice room at the training base, under the dim light, Hades Wang Tao was playing with the Dragon Team, and the Dragon Team suddenly stopped waving the racket and said with a smile: "Hades, I heard that little guy has reached the finals!" ”
"Oh!" Hades snorted calmly, Wang Bo had already called him yesterday and mentioned Gu Yang's matter.
"Dragons, go ahead." Hades tosses the ball and swings the racket......
Inside Prison No. 2......
Liu Bo and the others finally finished the 500-meter weight-bearing run, and when they were tired and out of breath, they kept complaining, didn't they say that the prison escape operation was only one month? Why was the escape time postponed after Gu Yang and Li Ning left.
At this moment, Du Shi's voice sounded: "All stand up and prepare to ......"
Everyone is wailing one by one, and a new training is about to start again?
"Coach, it's almost early in the morning." Liu Bo said weakly, holding back his sleepiness.
"Prepare for ......," Du continued to shout, "go to the base auditorium and watch the live broadcast of the US Open finals!" ”
"Yay!" The crowd cheered, and it was finally time to rest.
Liu Bo had a tired face and a smile: "Coach Du, is it Gu Yang?" ”
Du Zhi nodded, his face calm...... No one saw that a trace of relief passed away in his calm expression.
On the field, Gu Yang appeared in front of everyone, and in the audience, the audience from the Republic broke out into bursts of warm applause and shouts.
"Come on, Gu Yang!"
"Well done, little one!"
"Beat James and win the championship!"
Gu Yang felt the shouts from the audience, and his whole state was also excited, I didn't expect that I, Gu Yang, would also have the opportunity to stand in front of the world and let them cheer for me.
"Gu Yang, come on!" Wang Bo said softly, and added in his heart, "Young Emperor...... Win! ”
Li Ning looked at Zhang Rong on the side with a smile and smiled lightly: "Zhang Jiao, are you nervous?" ”
Zhang Rong's clenched palms were already covered with fine beads of sweat, and he smiled lightly: "Xiao Yang was handed over to me by Wu Lao, and now that he can grow to this point, I have not disappointed Wu Lao's explanation." ”
Chen Jing was on the side, didn't speak, just looked at the field quietly, and looked at Gu Yang's eyes, full of perseverance!
In the game area, the referee signaled the two sides to exchange rackets, and after Gu Yang and James checked each other's rackets, they shook hands amicably.
At this moment, a playful smile appeared on the corner of James's mouth, and he spoke in a voice that only Gu Yang could hear: "Little man of the Republic, your luck is really good!" ”
With that, he turned and walked to his table.
Gu Yang is only 17 years old now, and his height is naturally not as tall as James who is 21, so he is called a dwarf.
Hearing James's soft call, Gu Yang grinned: "Big nose, you will know...... The price of laughing at the master! ”
With the start of James' ball throwing action, the final of the men's singles of this Open Championship officially kicked off!
