Hearing Kong Zhendong's statement, Head Coach Li Muhua and Coach Zheng were very pleased.

Under the current national athlete management system, Kong Zhendong's establishment belongs to the capital team. Whether Kong Zhendong can enter the national team depends entirely on whether the capital team releases people, or in other words, whether head coach Li Muhua releases people.

In the face of the call-up of the national team, there are countless examples of local teams not letting go, and there are various events.

In addition to the cultivation of local teams, some of them are indeed for the good of the athletes themselves.

From Coach Zheng's point of view, he felt that Kong Zhendong was laying the golden age of the foundation, and now he was pulling out the seedlings to enter the national team, if he just sat on the cold bench and the resources were not as good as the capital team, he would waste his potential.

Of course, the national team can also train the basics. However, the elimination mechanism of the national team is very intense, and the players who enter often have to play within a year or two, otherwise they will return to the provincial team.

In the face of such pressure, athletes often pay more attention to the means of rapid performance improvement and strengthen their position in addition to increasing the amount of training, so as to ignore the basic training as the foundation.

This is the reason why all accomplished national champions must enter the national team after the provincial team has thoroughly solidified the fundamentals.

From the standpoint of head coach Li Muhua, he also did not want Kong Zhendong to enter the national team so early. He hopes that in a few years, he will train a more talented Kong Zhendong to enter the national team.

However, Kong Zhendong's sudden display of horizontal board straight hitting skills in the table tennis Association Cup finals let Li Muhua know that the capital team could not keep this real dragon in this bay diving.

Head coach Li Muhua finally clapped his head and said: "Zhendong, if it is another 11-year-old boy and a piece of paper for the national team, I don't worry about handing him over." But you are different, since Mi Shuai personally opened his mouth to ask for talents, the national team will provide a lot of resources. In the national team, it is still necessary to train with solid basic skills, and don't be ambitious. The next three years will be the period for your technology to be finalized. During this period of time, the foundation is not solid, and no matter how good the technology is, it will be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water! ”

Kong Zhendong nodded gratefully. Although Coach Li Muhua did not specifically guide him for a day, his earnest teaching to him came from the heart.

With the approval of head coach Li Muhua, Kong Zhendong's procedure for entering the national team was smooth.

Kong Zhendong left the capital team, and the most reluctant thing was Zheng Zheng and Ye Ying.

Kong Zhendong and Zheng Zheng's doubles just had a tacit understanding. The solemn Czech fast arc play has also improved significantly under the guidance of Kong Zhendong, but this doubles pair is about to be dismantled.

Seeing that Zheng Zheng was depressed, Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "Although I entered the national team training, I will come back as soon as I have a holiday." What's more, in the first half of next year, the national championships, the capital team should let me come back to compete, and then we can fight together again! ”

The Table Tennis National Championship is the highest level and most formal competition in China after the National Games table tennis competition. Different from the table tennis association cup, which is a competition with national participation and national fitness attributes, this is a positive PK for each provincial team to select elite players.

Each member of the Table Tennis Association Cup is just fighting for his own ranking, and the National Championship represents the collective reputation of the provincial teams.

The list of the capital team to participate in the 92 national championship will not be selected until early next year, but Kong Zhendong will have a half-year national career foundation and should be a strong contender for the participation spot.

Zheng nodded and said resolutely: "I am still far from the ability to participate in the national championships, but in this half year, I will try to become stronger!" ”

The farewell to Ye Ying's girl is almost solemn. Ye Ying is Kong Zhendong's little fan sister, but unfortunately Kong Zhendong's progress is too fast, as a shadow, she can't catch up, so she can only vow to practice hard and enter the national team in the future.

September 1, 1991 was the day of enrollment for new students. Kong Zhendong also reported to the national team on this day. For him, it is not an exaggeration to call it a new student enrollment.

The national team's table tennis training center in the capital is not far from the capital team, both near Xianlongtan.

The national team has always had a tradition of closed training in other training bases across the country before major competitions, so the scale of the National Sports Commission's table tennis training center, which is only used for basic training, is not very large.

Coach Zheng accompanied Kong Zhendong to the national team training center, and Kong Zhendong's future head coach Yin Xiao and his proud disciple Liu Guobang came to greet him.

Coach Yin Xiao asked Coach Zheng to the office to communicate and understand Kong Zhendong's daily training progress, follow-up reinforcement plan, etc. He specially arranged for Liu Guobang to take Kong Zhendong to familiarize himself with the situation of the national team's training base.

In his previous life, Kong Zhendong entered the official team of the national team later, so he knew everything here, but many of the personnel did not know.

Liu Guobang said with a smile: "When you won a game at Shichahai Sports School, I had a hunch that we would become teammates in the future, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" ”

Kong Zhendong is a cold ice prince in front of outsiders, but among familiar friends, he is a person who has few words, but many golden sentences, and he feels inexplicably close to being teammates with the national baseball in this life. He laughed and said, "What, do you still remember that game?" When will you win it back! ”

Liu Guobang said with a smile: "It's boring to let, let's practice together every day in the future, winning or losing doesn't count." Let's wait for the competition, the competition has been encountered, and we will compete again! ”

Liu Guobang first took Kong Zhendong to the training hall for formal training and said: "There are seven training halls in the table tennis training hall, and only four halls are usually opened, one for each male and female team, and one for each male and female national junior team. ”

Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang entered the gate and directly entered the largest training hall on the left-hand side, where the sound of banging was clearly audible.

Liu Guobang said: "The national youth team is our name to the outside world, because our athletes are very young when they enter the official team, so there is no concept of the national youth team. Within the national team, the official team is called the first team, and the national youth team is directly called the second team. The second team is promoted to one team, and generally the results of the national competition must be used as the foundation, and the internal one-on-two team promotion competition must also be played in order to be promoted to the first team. Although I made the first team in the lifting competition this year, I didn't have the national competition results to lay the foundation, and I still couldn't get up in the team! ”

Kong Zhendong asked: "The first team and the second team promotion competition are not only participated in by young players, what if the overage national players are relegated?" It's impossible to enter the national junior team! ”

Liu Guobang shrugged and said: "The selection of national table tennis is the survival of the strong!" In the intra-team promotion competition, there are generally two or three relegated places, and the younger ones will go back to the second team to rebuild and play again in the future. Those who are older than the training years of the national junior team will be returned to the provincial team or retired directly! ”
