Chapter 9 Training

Half a month has passed since the on-campus trials, and summer is coming in a blink of an eye.

At this time, there was a lot of tension on campus, and the final exams were underway. In the classroom of Class 42, Ye Hao was struggling with how not to get a full score.

In his opinion, the test papers of the primary school are really so easy, and there seems to be no reason to write them incorrectly no matter which question. However, he still picked two ruthlessly, after all, perfection is sometimes a crime.

quickly got the test papers, and Ye Hao could only sit in a daze in his seat. Some time ago, he really became popular in the class. After passing five levels, cutting six generals, and winning the quota to participate in the city's table tennis competition, he was immediately noticed by his classmates and teachers.

It would have done him a terrible blow. There is always a group of little kids around, chattering, and the extra care of the teacher, which is really unguardable, and can only be passively accepted.

Fortunately, this gust of wind came and went quickly, and soon he returned to his usual quiet life.

At the same time, there is a little beauty who is suffering just as much as him. However, after finding out that Ye Hao didn't seem to ask her to fulfill her promise, Wang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed.

"Ah, the exam is finally over!"

"It's a holiday."

Ye Hao looked at Chen Bo and Lin Wen who were shouting, and couldn't help but show a smile, what a child. But he didn't want to think that he was just like them now, just an 11-year-old boy.

"You're rejoicing too soon. When the final exam results come out, I don't know if you two will be able to laugh so happily. Ye Hao couldn't help but hit the two of them.

"Haozi, you are so hateful. Can't you just make me happy first? Chen Bo glared at him and said angrily.

At this time, Lin Wen came out and interrupted: "What are your plans for the summer vacation?" ”

"What else can you do? Watch TV, eat snacks, and sleep in. Chen Bo immediately answered.

Children in this era do not have much entertainment, unlike later generations, mobile phones, computers, ipads, cinemas, playgrounds, there are too many things to play.

"I'm going to go to the school to practice in a few days, and the school has arranged special training, so you can come over and help if you have nothing to do." Ye Hao rarely said seriously.

"How can you help?" The two asked curiously.

"Help pick up the ball, there are two caddies missing."

Well, the two children are still too young and have been tricked again.

The first semester of Ye Hao's rebirth passed in a hurry. A few days later, together with another Wang Dong who was going to participate in the competition, he received a half-month special training from the school's physical education teacher.

After all, it is on behalf of the school, and the leaders still attach more importance to it, in addition to arranging for the physical education teacher to be responsible for the training, they also generously provided a small amount of funds, and the equipment of the two has also been settled.

Ye Hao's main practice is still the basic skills, he has not received professional training since he was a child, although he has the skills of later generations, but if the foundation is not good, the future development will be limited.

The barrel principle, this simple truth, Ye Hao still understands, after all, the goal in the future is to become a top player, so there can be no shortcomings.

Training is boring, but Ye Hao is not a little lazy. He knew that in the future, joining a sports team to receive professional training would be more difficult and tedious than it is now. If he can't hold on now, then it's better for him to give up as soon as possible.

As the training time became longer and longer, Ye Hao was pleasantly surprised to find that after he was reborn, his physical fitness seemed to be much stronger than in his previous life. Strength, flexibility, and agility are among the best among their peers.

For this reason, Mr. Xu, who was in charge of training him, was also amazed, "He is really a good seedling who practices sports, at least his physical fitness is much higher than when I was a child." If I had this talent, maybe I wouldn't be just a PE teacher now......"

This discovery strengthened Ye Hao's belief. Now that God has helped me so much, it's up to me to see my own efforts, and if I can't make a difference, it's a waste of a good hand. I'm going to be a winner in life.

On the last day of training, Ye Hao came to school early. But what surprised him was that Xu Zhizhong, the physical education teacher, told him that he was not going to let him practice with Wang Dong in the ball room today. Today's schedule is to watch a video of a match.

So, Ye Hao and Wang Dong were taken to a room to watch the video of the game. The tournament took place this year, the 46th World Table Tennis Championships in Osaka, Japan, from April 23 to May 6, 2001.

It can be said that the beginning of the 20th century was a period of changes in table tennis, and the international hegemony of the Chinese table tennis team has been under attack.

At the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, China won only three golds, the worst performance since participating in the Asian Games. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, the men's singles championship was won by South Korea's Yoo Seung-min.

These are directly related to the fact that the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) is constantly revising its rules to restrict the Chinese table tennis team.

In 2000, the ITTF changed the diameter of the ball from 38 mm to 40 mm. Although it is only 2 mm larger, it has a revolutionary impact on the speed and rotation of table tennis balls.

The 46th World Table Tennis Championships in 2001 was the first World Table Tennis Championships in the big ball era.

What is being broadcast now is the most exciting match of this World Table Tennis Championships: Liu Guozhen vs. Kim Taek-so. The Chinese team and the South Korean team played to a 2-2 draw in the first four games, and this one directly decided the winner.

Liu Guozhen lost the first game.

In the second game, it was 20-19 (21-point system), and Kim Taek-so took the lead to get the match point. The coaches and cheerleaders of the Korean team stood up and were ready to applaud at any moment......

But Liu Guozhen made a decisive attack, saved the match point twice, and scored 2 points in a row after 22 draws to win the second game.

Seeing this, Wang Dong couldn't help but cry out excitedly, although Ye Hao next to him had already known the result, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

In the third game, Kim Taek-so got off to a good start, and Yoo Guo-jin kept catching up. By the end of the game, Kim was already leading 19-15 and only needed two points for him to send the Korean pair to the final.

But then, Liu Guozhen scored four points in a row and chased the score to 19 draws. Then, the two fought from 20 to 23 draws, and finally won the whole game 25:23.

Liu Guozhen's game was singing and crying, and he saved seven match points in a row in the second and third games, completing a shocking reversal.

After watching the video, everyone present felt their blood boiling. This is the Chinese table tennis team, this is our national sport, how can people not love it and go crazy for it!

After a while, everyone's emotions calmed down. Teacher Xu said to Ye Hao and Wang Dong: "The reason why I asked you to watch the video of this game today is to tell you a truth, never give up, perseverance is victory." You are not the strongest, and you will encounter such and such difficulties in the later competitions, but as long as you work hard and don't give up, even if you lose in the end, you are worthy of the sweat you have paid for half a month! ”

When Ye Hao and Wang Dong heard this, no one responded, but their resolute expressions and firm eyes were the best answers.
