Leaving home and getting on the plane to the capital, Ye Hao couldn't wait to ask, "Master, how can I report to the national team?" ”

"You kid, are you in such a hurry to leave the Capital Team?" Coach Lu had a straight face, he was a little reluctant to Ye Hao, although the two had only lived together for half a year, the relationship between master and apprentice was far better than that of ordinary people.

"Master, I'll miss you!" Ye Hao pretended to wipe his tears, and also pulled the corner of the landing coach's clothes with his hand, making an action to prepare to wipe his nose.

"Go, go." Coach Lu slapped away his troublesome hand and said angrily.

……

After the capital team continued to train for half a month, the letter from the national table tennis team finally arrived. Ye Hao and Ma Long were transferred to the national second team and the national youth team respectively to participate in training.

On this day, Ye Hao, accompanied by Coach Lu, came to No. 8 Gymnasium Road, Dongcheng District, the capital, the table tennis training hall of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China (male).

Don't think that the men's and women's teams train together, their training halls are across the road, but there's nothing to regret, after all, the women's team doesn't have a lot of good-looking ones. No matter what era it is, it is the era of looking at faces.

"When you get to the national team, keep a low profile, don't talk nonsense, and love to be in the limelight. Train hard and get results early, you know? Coach Lu worked hard to educate Ye Hao.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who is particularly high-profile and likes to cause trouble?" Ye Hao didn't want to defend himself.

"No, you are!"

Rub it, Coach Lu, you have also learned badly, and you have learned to answer.

Ye Hao had no choice but to say with a bitter face, "I seem to have offended an old team member." ”

"What, you haven't joined the team yet, why did you offend people?" When Coach Lu heard this, his head immediately became two bigger.

"Alas, it's hard to put into words, master." Ye Hao also felt very innocent. I knew that I wouldn't go to the little beauty's birthday party, and I offended Wang Liqin for no reason.

"Forget it, you're just a nuisance. I can't stay in the national team, at most I will be returned, it's okay, the capital team will still accept you. Coach Lu had no choice but to comfort.

"Uh-huh. Master, when are we going to relax again, you know? Ye Hao suddenly changed the topic.

Looking at his underwhelming appearance, Coach Lu was angry, "If I don't take you there, I won't teach you anymore, why take you to relax and go to your national team coach." ”

"Master, a teacher for one day and a father for life!" Ye Hao made a serious expression.

Looking at his serious expression, Coach Lu was also moved, "Another day, when you have a holiday, I will introduce some people to you by the way." ”

"Oh yes, thank you, master!" Ye Hao was also a little reluctant to Coach Lu, he knew that this man really cared about him, if it weren't for him, he would still be just an ordinary elementary school student in Ningcheng.

After sending Ye Hao to the national team, Coach Lu left. Ye Hao looked at many familiar faces in front of him, Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui have not yet retired, Ma Lin and Wang Liqin are in their prime, and young Wang Hao is also rising......

It's a new, higher starting point! The blood in Ye Hao's heart couldn't help but begin to boil, and his national team career officially began.

On the first day of coming to the national team, Ye Hao did not participate in training, and after meeting with his head coach Lin Gui, he went to his dormitory to clean up the bed and clean up.

The two share a dormitory, Ye Hao's roommate is Qiu Yike from Sichuan Province CD, and both of them are new members of the national second team this year.

The next day, Ye Hao began to participate in national team training. Since he is a newcomer and his age is not very old, Ye Hao's training still starts from the basics.

The first is physical training, which is a basic training that all athletes need to do.

After the end of the physical training, Ye Hao began to practice the pace again. In table tennis, flexible foot movement is crucial.

If you can run one step more than others, it means that you can attack first or be able to catch the opponent's ball in time.

Someone once analyzed that the reason why Wang Hao lost to Zhang Jike in London was because he was too heavy and not as flexible as his opponent, after all, he had the nickname of "Fat Hao" at that time.

Finally, there is special practice, that is, the repeated practice of various table tennis techniques. One minute on stage, ten years off stage. If you want to keep your technical movements out of shape during the game and ensure the effect and quality of your shots, you can only rely on countless repetitions of training.

Although Ye Hao has been in the national second team for a while, he usually doesn't meet the main players and coaches much, because their training is not together.

At this time, the coach of the Chinese table tennis men's team was still Yin Xiao. (Hey, that's a great name, and I think it's wonderful.) ）

Liu Guoliang has not yet retired, but a year later, he will replace Yin Xiao and become the head of the men's team. Since then, he has been serving in the Chinese table tennis team for 14 years until 2017, when he resigned as head coach and was appointed vice president of the Table Tennis Association.

In the days of training in the national second team, in addition to training, it is the competition within the team, Ye Hao's results are good, he wins more and loses less, which makes his points in the national second team quite high.

The Chinese national table tennis team implements an intra-team points system, and those with high points can be upgraded, and they can also increase the opportunity to go out to play. Ye Hao got the opportunity to participate in the Asian Table Tennis Junior Championships because of this.

In Singapore in May, the Asian Youth Table Tennis Championships were held here, with teams from more than 20 countries and regions participating.

Ye Hao will skip the level to participate in the youth group competition, although the age is on the young side, only twelve years old, but the solid technology, tall and big figure makes the coach full of confidence in him to skip the level of competition.

The youth group sent by the Chinese team is composed of Ye Hao, Qiu Yike, Zhang Chao and Li Ping, of which Ye Hao is the youngest, and the others are all fifteen, sixteen or seven.

In addition to competing together in the men's team competition, they also reported their own singles competitions.

A total of 106 people signed up for the singles competition in the men's youth group of this Asian Youth Championships. Ye Hao's opponent in the first round was Najib Najib from Malaysia.

There was nothing to say about this game, a 4:0 sweep, Ye Hao won easily. The same goes for the rest of the Chinese team.

It is precisely because of the strong reserve force that the Chinese team is almost invincible, so the ITTF has to constantly find ways to limit it, and it is always a one-man show that is not interesting after all.

There was no suspense in the first three rounds, and all four members of the Chinese team successfully advanced to the round of 16. But at this time, Ye Hao finally ushered in a powerful challenge.

In the quarters match, he will face his teammate Li Ping, who won the mixed doubles world title with Cao Zhen at the '09 World Table Tennis Championships in Yokohama with a 4:2 victory over Zhang Jike and Mu Zi.

Ye Hao still attaches great importance to this game, after all, table tennis competitions have always been easy to fight outside and difficult to fight.
