In between Wang Fei's training, Kong Zhendong finally chatted with him.

Kong Zhendong asked: "Brother Fei, you and Qin Zhijian are in the cross-provincial group, what is the opinion of your provincial team?" ”

Wang Fei took a sip of water and said: "In previous years, the national championships of our Heihe Provincial team were all paired within the team, and I partnered with Brother Gang. But this year is the six-year wait for the National Games, and many athletes have been waiting for this battle for their entire careers. In order to increase the probability of winning the championship, the provincial team is of course willing to match Gangge with stronger doubles partners from other provincial teams. ”

Kong Zhendong nodded, Wang Yonggang, as the absolute number one person in the Heihe Provincial Team, with Wang Fei is the same as Kong Zhendong with a solemn feeling, although the tacit understanding is enough, but the absolute strength has no chance of impacting the championship at all.

Kong Zhendong asked curiously: "Who is Brother Gang's doubles partner this time?" ”

Wang Fei said with a smile: "Brother Gang is matched with Lin Gangqiang, the No. 1 main force of the Lingnan Provincial Team, the two are old acquaintances in the national team, and they are also the absolute main force in their respective provincial teams. Although the doubles competition of the National Games does not have seeded players like international competitions, their pair is considered to be the pair that will make it to the semi-finals and hit the championship. ”

Wang Fei joked with a grin: "Brother Gang has such a good new home, of course I can only fly solo." But fortunately, Wu Jingping created a new combination to take me in! ”

Lin Gangqiang? Kong Zhendong faced him at the national championships last year. He is considered to be the closest player to Mi Heungbang among the national team's crossboarders.

Today, Lin Yugang in Heihe Province, the traditional straight board man in the northernmost part of the motherland, is paired with Lin Gangqiang, the weirdest horizontal board player in the southernmost part of the motherland.

Straight board with horizontal board, northern Xinjiang with Lingnan, traditional with monster board, such a breakthrough combination, it is estimated that most doubles combinations will not be able to adapt and lose.

Wang Fei said with a smile: "I heard that other teams have named Brother Gang's combination Shuanggang Combination, killing all sides." ”

Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "Don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, don't envy the Shuanggang combination here." The double-straight doubles combination between you and Qin Zhijian is also a beautiful scenery in China. Internationally, I have only seen South Korea's Yoo Nam-kui and Kim Chol-joo, who are double-straight and smash the Quartet. Our domestic tradition is to balance the straight and horizontal, so this time Coach Wu Jingping is spending a lot of attention on you, you and Qin Zhijian practice hard, maybe you can shed a new way for Chinese doubles. ”

Wang Fei slurped and drank saliva again, and said with a smile: "Don't put a high hat on me, we are very sober, this time we participated in the National Games, just to fight the world's masters and learn experience, but we don't have a blockbuster mind." ”

Kong Zhendong stayed in Europe for a year, and he was still a little unfamiliar with the current level of doubles masters in China, so he asked curiously: "What are the top masters in the doubles competition of this National Games?" ”

Wang Fei said with a smile: "In the past, the National Games in our country have always been known as the world's strongest table tennis competition, which is more difficult to win than the World Championships. However, because the singles and team results have been completely suppressed by Europe in recent years, the rest of the world no longer recognizes this kind of remarks. But what they are still in awe of is our men's doubles pairing. Therefore, we say that the men's doubles competition of the National Games is the world's top doubles event and the doubles champion with the highest gold content. This honor is still recognized by foreigners. ”

Wang Fei began to make preparations, and after chatting with Kong Zhendong for a few more words, he was about to conduct the next round of tactical drills with Qin Zhijian.

He went on to explain: "When the provincial teams analyzed the main masters of men's doubles this time, they recognized the four pairs of players who had the best chance of winning the semi-finals, in addition to our brother Gang and Lingnan Lin Gangqiang I just said, there are three pairs, you can guess. ”

Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "The first pair is naturally last year's Olympic champion, Wang Tao and Lu Ning, their straight and horizontal combination, the call for winning the championship must be the highest." ”

Wang Fei smiled and nodded, as a well-known Olympic doubles champion, it is not surprising to be guessed.

Kong Zhendong frowned and thought for a while: "I heard that Ma Wenhua, the first brother of national table tennis, will retire after this year's National Games." As his last national tournament, he will definitely not be satisfied with the singles crown, he will definitely be aiming for the gold medal. His Olympic partner with Prodigy Yu last year was purely to catch ducks on the shelves. Ma Wenhua's previous doubles combination, paired with the capital team Zhang Lei is a match made in heaven, if they regroup, it will be the biggest challenge for Wang Tao and Lu Ning. ”

Kong Zhendong knows that Zhang Lei's situation is similar to Ma Wenhua, he has retired from the national team, and the National Games is a provincial team that has cultivated himself for many years on behalf of each other, and the final opportunity to compete for the championship will definitely go all out.

Wang Fei was so shocked by Kong Zhendong's answer that his mouth opened wide.

Kong Zhendong also judged from his expression that he had guessed wrong.

Wang Fei gave Kong Zhendong a thumbs up and said, "You are really amazing, although you didn't guess correctly, it is a more perfect teaming plan." This time, everyone recognized the top four, and the remaining two pairs are Ma Wenhua Yu Prodigy, Zhang Lei and Xiong Ke of your capital team. ”

Such two pairs still dismantle the dream combination of Ma Wenhua + Zhang Lei, but they each lead the doubles partners, and they are still the most powerful challengers to the top four in the country.

Ma Wenhua and Yu Shenpeng can be regarded as a battle of redemption after the defeat of the 92 Olympic Games, and it is also a battle of self-proof before the two veterans retire.

As for the combination of Zhang Lei and Xiong Ke, Kong Zhendong feels that this is the embodiment of Zhang Lei's support to his teammates in the capital team before he retired.

In fact, the reform of the disbandment and re-selection of the national team this time was commonplace in other fields in later generations.

Most commonly, all the top management of a large company is dismissed en masse and then re-hired.

For an old national player like Xiong Ke, this time it was suddenly disbanded, and they need to return to the national team with a dazzling National Games result.

Originally, after Kong Zhendong saw that Wang Fei already had a new doubles partner, he put his preferred target for his doubles partner on Zhang Lei, who was about to retire.

After all, the two have been in Sweden for nearly a year, and they are both fallen people, and now Zhang Lei is about to retire, whether it is as a support or a legacy, and the young players in the capital team are paired to help the young players achieve better doubles results, which was originally the best choice.

But Zhang Lei actually matched his teammate Xiong Ke?

Kong Zhendong shook his head, Brother Lei could only give up, after all, teammate Xiong Ke needed Zhang Lei's escort.

Listening to Wang Fei's description, Kong Zhendong always felt that something was missing.

In a flash of inspiration, Kong Zhendong punched Wang Fei on the shoulder and said, "You just said so much, why did you forget the national stick?" Although the national baseball is now unknown, I dare to say that no matter who the partner is, it is the combination of the absolute top four and the champion~"
