Kong Zhendong asked, "How many people are in the team now?" "The number of national teams has always been fixed, so Kong Zhendong does not know how many people were in the national first team in 91.

Liu Guobang explained: "After adding you and Wang Fei, the Heihe Provincial team who came to report yesterday, there are fifteen official members and seven sparring team members in the first team. Every year, the team members are also allowed to sign up voluntarily, some of the sparring players will become official members of the national table tennis, and some of the official team members will not be able to play in the end and become sparring partners. ”

Liu Guobang turned his head and said with a smile: "But when it comes to the preparation stage of the international competition, those of us who can't get the qualification for the competition will form a team to become a sparring team. ”

After Kong Zhendong entered the training hall of the men's table tennis team, Liu Guobang quickly closed the door of the small hall.

The basic training of table tennis is not the same as the closed adaptation training of the game.

Basic training pursues the accuracy of movements and the absolute control of the ball landing point, so the first thing to isolate in the indoor stadium is the passing wind.

Compared with the provincial teams, and even the municipal teams that are one level worse, the national team has obviously put a lot of thought into this area, and even has national aerodynamics experts involved.

Dozens of male adult athletes exercise a lot, not only to ensure that everyone does not feel depressed, but also to require no trace of over-the-top, in the nineties, such a stadium can be regarded as a black technology.

Of course, if it is a targeted closed training before the competition, simulating the climate and venue conditions of the participating countries, there will not be such good conditions.

Kong Zhendong once went to Madley, the capital of the three countries, to participate in the game in his last life, and the whole court was open-air, not to mention the interference of the wind, and even the bird droppings fell on the table, so the interference of the wind was often added to the targeted training.

After getting acquainted with the training hall, Liu Guobang took Kong Zhendong to the living area.

Liu Guobang was the first intra-team promotion match arranged by Mi Xingbang in June this year to play from the second team, and it has been less than two months since he entered the first team, so he did not share a house with others.

Coach Yin Xiao is also the only one under Liu Guobang, and now with Kong Zhendong, the two live in the same room, officially entering the era of Kong and Liu living together!

At noon, Coach Yin Xiao, Coach Zheng, Liu Guobang, and Kong Zhendong had a working meal in the canteen together.

After bidding farewell to Coach Zheng, Kong Zhendong immediately received Coach Yin Xiao's September training schedule.

Kong Zhendong's national team training will start on September 2.

The schedule is detailed, but the content is monotonous.

Throughout September, in addition to regular movements such as pull-ups and push-ups, there are only two main training items: long-distance running and swimming.

Coach Yin Xiao explained: "Through communication with Coach Zheng, we feel that you need to fully strengthen your strength, speed, agility, reflexes, etc., and synchronize with basic technical training. However, the time for you to participate in formal sports training is too short, although the physical foundation is good, but the physical foundation is still too weak, the first thing you have to do is to make up for the shortcomings of physical fitness. ”

Coach Yin Xiao was worried that after Kong Zhendong won the national championship of the Table Tennis Association Cup, he did not pay enough attention to basic physical training, so he solemnly explained: "You should read martial arts novels, it can be said that physical training is equivalent to increasing the dantian and qi sea of people who practice martial arts." Your future achievements are based on physical fitness. Physical strength is not the same as strength, but it is the source of strength, speed, and agility. ”

Kong Zhendong nodded, of course he understood where his shortcomings were. The Table Tennis Association Cup duel against Cheng Longcan won the championship, with too many tactical components, and even a certain amount of luck in it. If the fight were to be repeated, he wouldn't have won't have won it.

Not to mention that Kong Zhendong relied on tactics to win Cheng Longcan once, he is the top existence in China, and in terms of strength, he is still inferior to the level.

September 2nd, six o'clock.

After Liu Guobang got up, he entered the men's table tennis first team training hall for a warm-up, followed by special training. As a 16-year-old player, Liu Guobang's physical fitness is basically fixed, and he only needs physical training twice a week to maintain it.

Kong Zhendong put on running shoes and went to the open-air track and field to run laps.

The National Table Tennis Training Center is affiliated to the Athlete Training Bureau of the National Sports Commission, and is together with the Badminton Training Center and the Tennis Training Center, and the Volleyball Training Center was only moved out a few years ago.

Although these training programs are some distance from athletics. However, track and field is the mother of sports, and the country has equipped athletes in these sports with professional track and field training.

On the morning of September 2, Kong Zhendong's first long-distance running training was arranged to run five laps around the 400-meter track.

This is not an ordinary 2000-meter run, but there is a clear time requirement for how much time to complete each lap.

During this time, Liu Guobang's training entered the stabilizer, so Coach Yin Xiao was like a track and field coach, soaking in the track and field with Kong Zhendong all day long.

In the first ten days of September, Kong Zhendong's long-distance running training volume increased by one lap every two days, until the 10th, and Coach Yin Xiao arranged for Kong Zhendong to run ten laps a day for a stable week.

In addition to running every morning, Kong Zhendong soaked in water in the afternoon and evening.

If you don't pursue racing, swimming is definitely the sport with the least damage to the musculoskeletal and soft tissues of all sports.

The coach only arranged two hours of swimming for Kong Zhendong in the afternoon, and Kong Zhendong himself added an hour at dusk, in addition to endurance, physical fitness, and lung capacity training, Kong Zhendong also had self-strengthening of body shape and body coordination.

After Kong Zhendong's body adapted to the 10-lap long-distance run every morning, starting from September 19, Coach Yin Xiao gradually increased the long-distance run to 15 laps.

Starting on September 25, Kong Zhendong exceeded the training plan to adapt to the 15-lap long-distance run in advance, and Coach Yin Xiao did not add more, as an 11-year-old athlete, maintaining a high-intensity 6000-meter run, has surpassed ordinary players of the same age.

After consolidating for a week, Kong Zhendong ushered in the National Day holiday. Before the holiday, Coach Yin Xiao found Kong Zhendong and asked him that he still couldn't relax his long-distance running training at home for the past three days. There is no condition for swimming training at home, and after the National Day holiday, it will be time to enter special strength and speed training.

During the National Day holiday, Kong Zhendong rarely met his father in the public relations project of the Agricultural College at home, and it was rare for the family of three to reunite for the holiday.

On October 4, Kong Zhendong received the latest training plan for October.

Specialized physical training such as long-distance running and swimming has been changed to three times a week. On other training days, the morning run was reduced to 10 laps.

According to the schedule, Kong Zhendong runs 4,000 meters at six o'clock every morning, followed by breakfast, eight o'clock, and begins special training in agility, speed, reaction and strength.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 4th, Kong Zhendong finally started the first special training of his national team in the men's table tennis first team training hall.
