Although it is said that badminton does not have the status of table tennis in the country. However, because of its high popularity and wide range of hobbies, it is also a very popular project in China.

Before the Olympics, the Chinese badminton team has always been the top existence in the world, and the badminton competition was introduced for the first time in the 92 Olympic Games, and the Chinese badminton team has long been gearing up to win the first gold.

The national delegation's plan to win gold before the trip has already covered two to three gold medals in badminton. As a result, no one expected that the dominant project was shaved head.

In the 84 Olympic Games, the Chinese team participated in the Olympic Games for the first time and won 15 gold medals, and the Chinese people were excited. Every Olympic champion has long surpassed the status of an idol of later generations, and is almost a national hero.

In the 88 Hancheng Olympics, the high-profile Chinese team only won five gold medals, and Li Ning, who fell from the ring, instantly fell from a national hero to a national enemy.

Now 92 years is a critical year for the country to hit the bid for the 2000 Olympic Games.

Now counting the women's doubles gold medals of Deng Yalin and Qiao Hong, the number of Chinese gold medals is just fourteen.

According to the schedule, China has not won any gold points in addition to three table tennis competitions in the future.

Wang Fei snapped his fingers and said: "Men's doubles, women's singles, men's singles, three gold medals, and the women's singles championship may be bigger, but I dare not say 100%, but now the upper level means, we have to win at least two, so tomorrow's two quarterfinals will not be missed." ”

On the morning of August 1, the men's doubles quarterfinals began, and the Chinese team Ma Wenhua Yu Shenguo first faced the South Korean pair Lee Seung-chul and Choi Hee-sung.

Today, Kong Zhendong was unable to sit next to Mi Xingbang, and at this time, Mi Xingbang was watching the game by the top leader of the Sports Federation, the head of the Olympic delegation.

Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang sat behind the leaders.

Liu Guobang pointed to the schedule in his hand and said: "It's really not that the rivals don't get together, the men's doubles quarterfinals, China and South Korea each have two teams shortlisted, but the schedule is arranged, if Wang Tao Luning breaks into the semifinals this afternoon, he will play against Kim Zhezhu and Liu Nankui, that one is more difficult, so this one must be won in the morning." ”

Kong Zhendong frowned and said: "We don't have the information about Cui Xicheng, although their strength is not as good as Liu Nankui and Jin Zhezhu, but the most terrible opponent is often the most unfamiliar opponent. ”

At the beginning of the game, Ma Wenhua served, and Li Chengzhe received the serve. Kong Zhendong paid special attention to this match, because he used to imitate it during his sparring period

Lee Seung-chul, but unfortunately South Korea did not determine the final combination at that time, and the news obtained at that time was that the double straight board combination of Yoo Nam-kui and Kim Zhe-joo may be dismantled and formed a combination of straight and horizontal boards.

The smoke bombs of the South Korean team really worked, and Lee Seung-chul finally teamed up with newcomer Choi Hee-sung.

Ma Wenhua and Yu Shenpeng have won the championship in China, so they are the favorites to win the championship more optimistic than Wang Tao and Lu Ning.

It's a pity that today, Yu Prodigy's straight straight style of play met Cui Xicheng's straight burst, and he was immediately compared.

Cui Hee-sung and Lee Seung-chul are younger, so they played fast in the first game, giving the slow-burning Chinese team a blow to the head. 、

Liu Guobang said: "Fortunately, after entering the knockout round, the competition system has become a best-of-five system, and there is still a chance to adjust." ”

After losing the first game, the expression of the head of the delegation became solemn.

In the second game, the Chinese team adjusted in time, and Ma Wenhua began to control the rhythm with experience and entered a stalemate. Ma Wenhua's cool noodle arc circle was powerful in this game, and the Chinese team equalized the score 1:1.

In a best-of-five game, the two sides have more time for tactical targeting, as well as more psychological battles.

In the third game, South Korea changed the formation again, and Choi Hee-sung's straight board emphasized speed and assault, and the power was not great, only impacting, not killing.

Choi Hee-sung's impact reduced the quality of Ma Wenhua's return, and then Lee Seung-cheol attacked Yu Prodigy's backhand loophole to score. South Korea's tactical raid allowed them to take the lead again.

If you lose one more game, the Chinese team will be eliminated. Kong Zhendong couldn't sit still any longer, and stepped forward with the coaching staff to give Wang Taoyu prodigy advice.

Kong Zhendong said: "Among the other two, Cui Xicheng is still weak, don't be deceived by his fast rush, his technical skills are not solid, we in turn, used for the prodigy's front breakthrough ring rhythm, and then Ma Wenhua used the arc circle to form a pair pull with Cui Xicheng, I bet he is not enough to pull the foundation!" ”

"You bet?" There is a coach in the national team who is not satisfied, and the head of the General Bureau is in charge, can your tactics be reliable?

Kong Zhendong was anxious. In international competitions, many tactics are fighting, and if you don't fight in this game, you will lose. Do you want to analyze carefully before playing?

After more than a month of closed training, Ma Wenhua still trusts Kong Zhendong's judgment very much, even if it is verified with a half-game ball.

In the fourth game, the Chinese team really used Ma Wenhua's forehand arc to force Cui Xi to pull in pairs. Cui Xicheng's error rate is really high, and the Chinese team grasped the weakness and did not relax, and won the game easily.

Seeing that since the start of the game, the Chinese team finally won a game easily, and the face of the delegation leader finally turned cloudy and clear.

Kong Zhendong couldn't get up easily, and the fifth game tiebreaker was the decisive game for the brave to win when they met on a narrow road.

Let Ma Wenhua raid Cui Xicheng's pair of pulls can only work in one game, because the four-person doubles pays attention to rotation hitting, once Ma Wenhua's next board is Cui Xicheng, Li Chengzhe will take the first step to attack or shorten, and do not let Ma Wenhua form a chance to pull the ball.

Therefore, all the tricks and tactics in the fifth game were useless, it was a bayonet fight.

Whoever is more bloody and who can put down the burden more will be able to fight for a promotion place.

In the end, the young Choi Hee-sung and Lee Seung-cheol were more open and fought more fiercely.

Ma Wenhua's task of winning the championship in the prodigy is too heavy, there are too many distractions, and the mistakes are naturally increasing.

Under the advantages of the other, Ma Wenhua lost the game 2:3 in the final prodigy, and the first seed of the Chinese men's doubles ended the Olympic journey.

The faces of the officials of the delegation became particularly ugly. China's No. 1 Men's Doubles seed is right under his nose, losing to a pair of unknown South Korean doubles players, how to write this report? Where do you put your old face?

The head of the regiment faced the young marshal Mi Xingbang, and there was a last trace of expectation: "Xingbang, the other pair of combinations in the afternoon is not a big problem, right?" There can be no more mistakes. Who's next? ”

Mi Xingbang said in a solemn tone: "In the afternoon, Wang Tao and Lu Ning are going to fight against the French Geiting Eloa combination. We will do our best! ”

Even if the top leader of the General Administration does not pay attention to table tennis on weekdays, the quota of the world champion Gaiting is too thunderous.

Compete with him for the top four, isn't it food delivery in the afternoon?

The last words of encouragement from the head of the General Bureau could not be spoken, and he led the team away with a cold face.

Could it be that after badminton, men's table tennis will also be wiped out?
