On December 9, 90, Ye Xiaoya's mother borrowed a van from relatives and, together with Su Xia, packed the luggage of the two children and sent Kong Zhendong Ye Xiaoya to report to the capital team.

The accommodation conditions of the capital team are still very good, with a building for each man and a woman.

There are two units in each dormitory, and the regular team members and the youth team members live separately.

Each unit has accommodation for unmarried coaches to facilitate the care of daily life.

After Su Xia helped Kong Zhendong tidy up the wardrobe, she said goodbye to her son Yin Yin.

Although she is ready to let her son start living in junior high school and cultivate his ability to live independently~, Su Xia is still reluctant to leave her son alone in the sports school.

After telling Kong Zhendong that he must talk to her every three days on the coin-operated phone, and to take care of each other with Ye Xiaoya, Su Xia reluctantly left.

Seeing that Ye Xiaoya was depressed because she left her mother for the first time, and her eyes were red, Kong Zhendong said in an active atmosphere: "Xiaoya, I heard my mother say that when you changed your school this time, you changed your official name, what is your name now?"

Ye Xiaoya wanted to speak and stopped, and finally smiled playfully: "I won't tell you!" ”

Anyway, in a few days, the capital team will announce the list of newcomers selected for the capital team this year, and Kong Zhendong did not ask.

After returning to the dormitory, Kong Zhendong had just sorted out the sheets, and the three friends who lived together returned to the dormitory after practicing.

One of the tallest teenagers said to the shy teenagers around him: "Ah Chong, you have a new partner in your room, don't forget to practice doubles, let's compete against each other, please eat roast duck if you lose!" ”

The young man named Ah Chong didn't seem to be very confident, he introduced to Kong Zhendong: "Hello, I'm Zheng Chong, living in a room with you, the two of them are Wang Yi and Zhou An, living next door to us!" ”

The capital team dormitories are all two-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom structure.

Each room accommodates two people and four people have one ensuite.

The capital team has always had a tradition of doubles players living in the same room, so the big man Zhou An said that Kong Zhendong and Zheng Chong would match doubles.

Kong Zhendong didn't talk much, but he found that his new roommate seemed to be more shy than himself, and when the two got along, he became a person who often wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

At this time, Kong Zhendong inexplicably missed the grinning Guo Bing.

Kong Zhendong smiled and said solemnly: "I also call you Ah Chong!" Azhong, you don't have to speak every time you feel the need to speak solemnly, do you? ”

Zheng Zheng was finally amused by this joke, and he smiled: "It's not that I don't like to talk, it's just that I'm not used to getting along with strangers." ”

Azhong's voice is deep and magnetic, and he can hear a slight southern accent.

Kong Zhendong asked, "Ah Chong, I can hear your southern accent!" Have you been in Beijing for a short time? ”

Zheng Zheng carefully wiped the racket, while saying: "Dad has been a coach in the capital, my mother and I live in Zhejiang Province, I came here to select last year, I entered the capital team, and then lived in Beijing." ”

Kong Zhendong somewhat understands the reason why Zheng Zheng does not like to speak, he only came from Zhejiang Province last year, and he speaks with a southern accent, which may be ostracized by some local students.

Kong Zhendong scalded his enamel jar with boiling water, and also took the initiative to pour hot water into the solemn enamel jar, he said: "Ah Chong, I also came from the Northeast this summer, we are a family from all over the world, we have a unified name!" ”

Kong Zhendong deliberately paused and asked solemnly and curiously, "What is our common name?" ”

Kong Zhendong smiled: "We are all called Jingpiao!" ”

Jing Piao? How apt!

He smiled solemnly and nodded, feeling that Kong Zhendong was different from his previous companions.

At noon, Kong Zhendong and Zheng Zheng were like a pair of old friends, and invited Zhou An and Wang Yi, natives of the capital, to dinner.

Among the four, Kong Zhendong is the youngest, but the most out-of-the-box personality is Wang Yi.

He's a packet of inquiries plus a radio station.

On the way to the cafeteria, Wang Yi began to introduce the situation of the capital team to Kong Zhendong.

It turns out that the Capital Youth Team has two rounds of selection in March and September every year, and Zheng Zheng stood out in the selection in March last year and entered the Capital Youth Team.

In addition to the selection of candidates, the capital team has a knockout round in January and July every year.

Although it is not called that, the person who is at the bottom of the internal competition will not be forced to leave the team.

However, once the competition is at the bottom, the coaching staff will no longer guide the athlete individually, nor will they draw up a strict training plan, and it will be completely free-range.

Such a disregard naturally prompted the crane tail to leave automatically and find a new way out.

In January and July of this year, Zheng Zheng's two companions were eliminated one after another, and each of his doubles partners did not last long, and the tacit understanding could not be played, and the doubles skills were almost abolished.

solemnly said with a little weakness: "Zhendong, let's form doubles after January next year!" Maybe I'll be eliminated next year, and then you will have more trouble running in new teammates! ”

Kong Zhendong had a smooth journey in his last life, trained with the provincial team at the age of six, was selected by the national junior team at the age of thirteen, entered the national first team at the age of sixteen, became the main force at the age of eighteen, and won the men's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships at the age of nineteen.

In his previous life, he had heard the fierce and cruel competition of low-level table tennis players, but he had always been a genius, and all of this was far away from him.

Kong Zhendong confidently patted his solemn shoulder and said: "Ah Chong, we will match doubles tomorrow, I will accompany you to practice, next year, we will definitely not be eliminated!" ”

"What big of a word? Ah Chong, will you teach newcomers to be down-to-earth? A discordant voice interjected.

Kong Zhendong turned his head to look, several teenagers were walking from the gymnasium to the cafeteria at this time, the leading teenager was already fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was sneering solemnly with some contempt.

solemnly unwilling to deal with him, Zhou An, the eldest of Kong Zhendong's four, stepped forward and said: "Song Kun, you better practice more, don't be overtaken by the junior to enter the official team first, is it interesting to be the king and dominate in front of us?" ”

Song Kun's face turned dark, he glared at Zhou An and the others, and took the young man around him into the cafeteria first.

Wang Yi explained on the side: "Song Kun is already the oldest member of our junior team, and he has entered the official team selection competition several times, but he has never made it to the end. However, in the junior team, his strength has always been the top three, and the first two partners of Zheng Zheng were all eliminated by him! ”

Kong Zhendong was curious: "How do I feel that Song Kun is a little deliberately aimed at solemnity?" Ah Chong shouldn't be able to threaten him to be promoted to a full-fledged member, right? ”

Zheng Zheng seemed to want to stop Wang Yi from continuing, but Wang Yi said with a big grin: "Last year, the son of Coach Hong, who was in the official team, came from the sports school below to participate in the junior team selection, and originally set a place, but Ah Chong came from Zhejiang Province to participate in the selection, defeated his son, and won this place!" ”

Capital team, Coach Hong?

Kong Zhendong felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
