Chapter 067: I'm Not a Mascot!

Kong Zhendong insisted: "I know that every opponent is tough. But isn't that what we need to do? Wearing the hat of the talented teenager of the capital team, he won the peerless good sign in the junior group competition and easily won the championship! Does the capital team really need such Kong Zhendong? ”

Kong Zhendong's persistence infected Coach Zheng, and he decided to report to Coach Li Muhua and sign up for the senior competition for Kong Zhendong as an individual.

Coach Zheng was still thinking about what to say to persuade Coach Li Muhua, but he didn't expect Coach Li to agree easily.

Kong Zhendong fought in the senior group of the Table Tennis Association Cup as an individual, and Li Muhua was of course welcome. Since it is an individual competition, it is not a child's play to be easily defeated by the coaching staff of the capital team.

More importantly, the young athletes cultivated by the capital team have the courage to challenge the senior group, regardless of success or failure, isn't this courage the will quality appreciated by the leaders of the sports committee?

After approving Kong Zhendong's participation in his personal name, Li Muhua privately dialed the phone number of his old comrades-in-arms who worked at the Capital Times in his office.

The 11-year-old has the courage to challenge the adult group, which is good news! Nominally, he is an individual participant, but everyone has to mention that he is a junior member of the capital team's training! If this news works well, this kid might be able to become the mascot of the Capital team.

On August 11, 1991, the Table Tennis Association Cup jointly organized by the China Sports Commission and the Chinese Table Tennis Association held a grand opening ceremony.

Because of the special status of table tennis and the special love of many central leaders, the honorary president of the Table Tennis Association has always been a retired senior official leader.

This table tennis association cup filled the sports vacuum that there was no National Games in 91, and the participation of the whole people was extremely high, and the central media also paid great attention to it.

The senior leaders delivered enthusiastic speeches and praised the great contributions made by table tennis in the fields of national fitness and the all-round development of young people's morality, intelligence and physique.

The leaders did not shy away from the trough of national table tennis in recent years, but only put forward ardent expectations, hoping that the national table tennis will use national competitions such as the Table Tennis Association Cup to comprehensively select high-quality seedlings, actively carry forward advanced playing methods, and look forward to the national table tennis re-standing on the peak of the international table tennis arena in the future.

At the end of the speech, the leader was interested, and even played a five-ball exhibition match with Xu Yinsheng, a retired national player many years ago.

Throughout the morning, the Table Tennis Association Cup only carried out the opening ceremony and the athlete check-in work. In the preliminary registration, the athletes have confirmed the matchups. The final check-in is to confirm whether there are any cases of athletes withdrawing from the competition for any reason.

In this table tennis association cup, more than 4,000 players from all over the country participated, including more than 3,000 people participated in the men's competition, which was unprecedented.

In the men's competition, except for the 7,800 people who participated in the senior group and the youth group, the remaining 2,600 people participated in the official competition.

More than 300 members of the provincial teams and the People's Liberation Army have been selected to participate in the competition, and there are more than 1,000 official members of the table tennis teams of prefecture-level cities, and the remaining more than 1,000 players are table tennis enthusiasts from all over the country who participate in the competition in their own names.

Because there was no competition all morning, the TV stations and major media that could not find news reported on the opening ceremony and tried their best to dig up news on the participating athletes.

Kong Zhendong, who had just completed the athlete check-in, was caught by the sports outsourcing group of the capital team.

Kong Zhendong saw that the staff of the foreign mining group of the capital team arranged for him to stand with a sixty or seventy-year-old grandfather on the side, and Li Jun, the deputy leader of the external mining group on the other side, laughed very badly, and Kong Zhendong was inexplicable.

At this time, the beautiful female sports reporter of the capital team was already talking to the camera: "Audience friends, hello everyone, I am Gao Jie, a sports reporter from Capital TV, and now I am outside the Capital Gymnasium, bringing you the relevant reports of the 91 Table Tennis Association Cup......"

The beautiful female reporter skillfully introduced the opening ceremony of the Table Tennis Association Cup, and then led the topic to the athletes. Gao Jie reporter said: "As you know, the Table Tennis Association Cup is a table tennis event with the participation of the whole people. In addition to the official competition, there are also two amateur competitions, the junior group and the middle-aged and elderly group. However, many amateur players with ambition and strength still choose to participate in official competitions. According to the registration information of the competition, we found Kong Zhendong, the youngest participant in the official group, and Xu Maocai, the oldest. Kong Zhendong's children are not yet 11 years old today, but Xu Maocai is 63 years old this year, let's hear what they say? ”

I'm X, and I'm actually the youngest player in the competition? Kong Zhendong Waterfall Khan!

Kong Zhendong participated in countless sports competitions in his previous life. In order to promote its popularity, each event will emphasize the oldest XXX participating in this competition. Minimal XXX.

These athletes are often of a very low level, and their value is often just the mascot of these events that flaunt the popularity of sports.

Kong Zhendong is still annoyed that the cunning Li Jun must not have played a good role in this interview? At least ventilate the news, and I'll run away!

When Kong Zhendong was still complaining in his heart, the 63-year-old Xu Maocai had already finished answering reporters' questions.

What he said was nothing more than that the national policy is good, the national fitness is carried out well, the people are in good health, the pursuit of culture and entertainment has improved, and he himself is also old and old, and he wants to play fairly with young people.

There are no highlights, but the answer is standard.

It's Kong Zhendong's turn, Kong Zhendong saw Li Jun making fun of himself behind the camera, and he had an idea, look at how your buddy treats you, I dare to say, do you dare to broadcast?

The beautiful reporter Gao Jie was worried that Kong Zhendong was young, nervous and nervous, and could not answer the questions well, so she guided and asked: "Kong Zhendong children, you didn't sign up for the juvenile group like children of the same age." Is it to participate in the official competition to learn more competition skills and on-the-spot experience from the big brothers? ”

Kong Zhendong's expression was serious, but his words were amazing: "Can I tell the truth?" ”

Journalists and photographers breathe in a breath!

Can I tell the truth?

You answered this in a street interview in the nineties?

What kind of routine is this?

Gao Jie's face was deformed with fright, but he still reluctantly said: "Of course you can!" ”

Kong Zhendong said as a matter of course: "I participated because I firmly believe that I can achieve excellent results in the official competition!" ”

It makes sense~~ But where does your confidence come from?

If you are a successful reporter, you should control the rhythm and change the topic at this time, but Gao Jie Beauty was also stunned by Kong Zhendong's non-routine play, she subconsciously asked: "When you say excellent results, how good are you?" ”

Kong Zhendong smiled indifferently at Li Jun, who was dumbfounded at the back of the camera, and said in a natural tone: "Of course it's the champion!" ”

"Huh!"

Gao Jie reporter made the third mistake of today's interview, and actually laughed!

Li Jun behind the camera frowned, and whispered to the headset: "Studio, switch signal!" ”

Kong Zhendong looked at Li Jun and the others in a hurry, and felt complacent: Let you use me as a mascot, it's time for you to eat and eat!

Hey! Slow, just like hearing the switch studios?

Isn't this a random editing?

What did you play live on the street in the 90s?

Kong Zhendong's rare pretending is destined to cause a sensation throughout the country!
