The men's doubles competition at the Barcelona Olympics also only has 16 pairs of players, but unlike the women's doubles competition, which will face strong opponents when they reach the semi-finals, each of the 16 men's pairs is a strong opponent to be reckoned with.

This afternoon, two pairs of players from the Chinese women's team competed for the championship and runner-up, and according to the tradition of the national team, the coaching staff will not be present on the scene and will not guide the technical and tactical play of any of the pairs.

The two pairs of players strained, adjusted, tactical choices, announced to rely on their own play. Kong Zhendong naturally felt that he could easily come down.

It's a pity that the celebrities on the coaching staff are not so easy to be, Kong Zhendong, who has just been free in the women's team, was immediately recruited by Mi Xingbang to the men's team doubles battlefield.

Arriving at the men's doubles battlefield, Kong Zhendong took his notebook and prepared to explore the group performance of the other main competitors.

But no one arranged for Kong Zhendong to be investigated, and the coaches on the coaching staff, who used to have nostrils in the sky, looked like mourning and approval, which made Kong Zhendong feel cold on his back, why did he have such an expression? Like seeing a hungry ghost from hell?

Among the coaches, the most calm was Mi Xingbang, who beckoned to Kong Zhendong and said, "Zhendong, you sit next to me and watch the game." Shirin said that you are a lucky general, with you sitting by your side, any strong opponent can be defeated, I don't know if you, the lucky general of the women's team, will work in the men's team. ”

Watching the game here? Is there a mistake in my schedule, isn't it the group stage between Wang Tao and Lu Ning today?

In a group stage, how to send the head coach of the men's team to press the formation in person? I've been practicing with Wang Tao and Lu Ning for more than a month, is it necessary to watch them in the group stage?

Kong Zhendong sat next to Mi Xingbang with questions, but the low pressure of the surrounding coaches still made him uncomfortable.

Mi Xingbang saw his discomfort and said in an active atmosphere: "In addition to the women's team's games in the past few days, have you found time to watch other games?" ”

Kong Zhendong said lively: "I missed a lot yesterday and today. The European and American media have finally changed their tone. These two days have become Chinese Women's Day. ”

Mi Xingbang listened to what he said interestingly, and asked, "Do foreigners also understand the word women?" ”

Kong Zhendong nodded with a smile and said, "Foreigners still know about Mulan?" The most amazing thing yesterday was the shooting team. The shooting team has always included target shooting and skeet, and our Chinese people, whether it is Xu Haifeng in the past or Wang Yifu this year, both won gold medals in the indoor firearms competition, but they did not win anything in the skeet event. ”

Before the competition started, Yin Xiao was also willing to accompany his disciples to liven up the atmosphere, and he asked, "I heard that Gao Sugi of the shooting team seems to have won the women's skeet championship, right?" ”

Kong Zhendong smiled: "It's not that simple. Olympic skeet competition has always been gender-neutral, with men and women competing together. However, in the decades since the skeet competition entered the Olympic Games, the champion has always been men, and the female athletes competing in this field are considered to be an absolute embellishment. This time, Takasugi defeated all the male players to win the skeet championship, and foreigners used Hua Mulan to describe her. ”

"Beat all men in gender-neutral competitions?" Mi Xingbang was also shocked.

Kong Zhendong said: "Her championship is too legendary, so on the podium, the runner-up and the third runner-up two men were convinced to hold her high, and this photo has made sports headlines in all European mainstream media." ”

Takasugi's gold medal that defeated all the men's players is too legendary, Kong Zhendong had an impression in his previous life, and when he heard about it yesterday, he immediately remembered it, so he was able to tell many details that the coaching staff did not understand, and the scene was vividly depicted.

Mi Xingbang smiled: "Did you just miss the skeet competition yesterday?" ”

Kong Zhendong sighed: "More than that! I also missed the legacy of the Chinese diving queen. Europeans and Americans are angry about the Chinese Jinhua beating them in the swimming pool speed competition, but they can afford to lose the diving competition that requires skill and beauty. ”

Wu Jingping nodded and said, "You're talking about the women's three-meter springboard gold medal won by Gao Min yesterday, right?" She successfully defended her title, and her age has also passed the golden age of women's diving, and she is about to retire. ”

Kong Zhendong smiled: "Does Director Wu also know Gao Min?" Her posture and flexibility are very beautiful, and the people of Hong Kong Island call her Zhang Min in the water, the queen of diving. ”

Wu Jingping was puzzled: "Zhang Min in the water? Which country's diving star is that? ”

Kong Zhendong stroked his forehead helplessly, Zhang Min didn't know? Generation gap, generation gap!

Kong Zhendong skipped this stalk and said with a smile: "Yesterday belonged to Gao Min alone, the Chinese women's 10-meter platform champion Fu Mingxia was only 14 years old, she became the youngest Olympic champion of the Chinese team, and also successfully took over the inheritance of the diving queen." ”

Mi Xingbang sighed: "Fourteen years old? That's not much bigger than Zhendong. Although divers generally produce results early, they can win the Olympic championship at the age of 14, which proves that the diving team is too far ahead of us in terms of talent reserve and echelon construction. Also as a strong event for China to win gold, table tennis lags too far behind in the cultivation of young talents. ”

A coach saw Mi Xingbang and took the opportunity to raise young players

The topic of the new generation objected: "No matter how the diving team is reformed, it is still a women's dominant event, how can it compare to table tennis?" ”

Kong Zhendong was dissatisfied with this complacent attitude, he defended: "That's in the past, just this morning, the men's diving team player Sun Shuwei just won the men's 10-meter platform championship. This is China's first men's diving gold medal. In this way, the diving team won three gold medals in the women's 3-meter platform, the 10-meter platform, and the men's 10-meter platform. ”

Two for women and one for men?

Chinese table tennis has played to the extreme in this Olympic Games, right?

Are you embarrassed to despise other people's diving as a women's dominant event?

Mi Xingbang sighed: "The diving team has three gold medals? With the addition of four pieces of swimming, two pieces of shooting and gymnastics, whether table tennis can become the top three events for the Chinese team to win gold depends on whether we can pass today's hurdle! ”

Kong Zhendong wondered for a while, the Chinese doubles is not so bad that it can't break through the group stage, right?

Yin Xiao pointed to the opponent who was starting to warm up and said, "Look at who the opponent is?" What a hellish opponent! ”

Kong Zhendong looked up and found that there were two Eastern European men with cold faces who were warming up, their faces were as handsome as knives, wasn't that Primorac?

Who's the other one who is older? Kong Zhendong tried hard to recall, and said in disbelief: "Is that Schulbeck, the pioneer of the European fast arc?" He doubled with Primorac, Europe's No. 1 player? ”

Yin Xiao nodded and said: "The members of the Yugoslav League were allowed to participate on the last day, and the Olympic Organizing Committee allowed them to temporarily submit their quotas. ”
