Chapter 21: Mixed Doubles

Su Nian looked at Jing Xing and was stunned, she just asked the coach why she let herself participate in mixed doubles, but she forgot to ask who her partner was, seeing that it was Jing Xing, she didn't react for a long time, why was it Jing Xing? Both of them are right-handed, huh?

In doubles, it is best to hold the racket on the left and right, so that the running will be more flexible, but she and Jing Xing are both right-handed, and the running position will be more disadvantaged.

Shen Luo saw Su Nian and Jing Xing's doubts, and explained: "Su Nian's women's doubles results are very good during this time, the coaching staff decided to let her try mixed doubles, and the other team members have fixed partners, so this time arrange for her to partner with you." ”

"Let her practice mixed doubles with you in the past few days before the game, Su Nian, practice hard", Huang Zhi explained, patted Su Nian's head, and turned to leave.

Su Nian shook the racket in her hand, not knowing what to do next, this is the place where the men's team trains, and she hasn't been there yet.

The players of the men's team who were training all saw Su Nian, although everyone was still training and did not speak, but their attention couldn't help but focus on Su Nian's body.

Shen Luo saw Su Nian's nervousness and comforted her, "It's okay, you just follow us to train these days, and strive to run in a little tacit understanding before the game, come, I'll practice multi-ball for you first, one person and one board, just pay attention to giving way and running when you pick up."

Su Nian listened and glanced at Jing Xing, and the two of them stood in the position of girls near the platform and boys on the far platform.

Because Su Nian is relatively small, the coach of the small provincial team is afraid that she is not tall and the platform area is small, so he has put a lot of effort into Su Nian's pace training, but he didn't expect this to become an advantage in Su Nian's mixed doubles, she can give way to male players in the fast running position, and she can also save the ball through the running position after being transferred.

This made Shen Luo feel pleasantly surprised, he thought that this time it was the same as before, just let Jing Xing give it a try, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident, maybe he could fix it in the future and let Jing Xing partner with Su Nian, because there are too few left-handed female athletes in this generation of national table tennis, and it is possible that the double right will become a fixed partner.

But the doubles of the double right is bound to require more tacit understanding, Su Nian and Jing Xing don't say that it is a tacit understanding, they haven't even said a few words. The coaching staff didn't want them to get much good results this time, just because there is no fixed combination that can become the pillar of the mixed doubles event for the new generation of national table tennis, so the coaching staff is also trying to match various combinations.

Unexpectedly, after just a few days of training, Su Nian and Jing Xing unexpectedly won the second place in the mixed doubles in the simulation match and qualified for the Asian Games.

This year's Asian Games is known as the test of the succession layer of national table tennis, because for the first time, the national table tennis boldly launched a new lineup, and almost all of them were young players, as if it was to show the world their echelon construction, in order to tell the table tennis world that not only the foreign association has cultivated a powerful young team, but our young generation will also begin to emerge.

The day before departure, Jing Xing asked Su Nian on the way to dinner with Su Nian, "Is there a goal for this Asian Games?" ”

Su Nian paused, thought for a while, looked at Jing Xing and said seriously, "I want the championship." ”

Jing Xing was stunned, everyone in national table tennis wants to win the championship, and everyone enters the national team with this goal, but like Su Nian, he said this goal seriously, and said it with a belief that I must do it, which shocked him.

The two of them have often been together in recent competitions and training, and he knows that this cute and cute little girl has a lot of energy in her heart, he looked at Su Nian's serious and a little deep eyes, and nodded solemnly, "Okay, let's cheer together." ”

Su Nian's words about winning the championship are not casual, her heart is desperate for this championship, she is no longer qualified for singles, at this time she hopes that a champion will tell her that there is no wrong choice for this path, and she is not impossible.

This time the competition is all young players, Jing Xing has the best results in this and the highest status, and naturally takes on the responsibility of leading the team, "Jing Xing, you are optimistic about Su Nian, she is the youngest, take care of her", Coach Huang did not follow the team this time, he was not worried about Su Nian, and told Jing Xing to take care of Su Nian several times.

Jing Xing played very fiercely, but those who knew him knew that he was a very well-behaved child, and he would definitely do what he promised, so Jing Xing did not let Su Nian out of his sight along the way.

At the airport, a fan gave Su Nian a doll, Su Nian held the doll all the way, as if he liked it very much, Jing Xing watched Su Nian chatting with his sisters all the way, laughing happily from time to time.

"Why is she so happy, didn't Director Ding say that there is no world champion of hip-hop-haha?" Jing Xing watched Su Nian fight with his sister along the way, and unconsciously the pressure in his heart slowly decreased.

This is the first time he has taken over the responsibility of leading the team from his older siblings, this responsibility is not only to lead the team, but more importantly, the responsibility of winning the championship this time, this time in addition to the mixed doubles, the pressure of winning the men's singles championship also needs to be carried by him alone.

Because Su Nian only participates in one mixed doubles, her schedule is not very close, except to help everyone train is to watch everyone compete.

She saw Jing Xing defeat her old opponent 4:2, Japanese player Higashihara Ryota, Higashihara Ryota is the main force cultivated by the Japanese generation, the playing style is very fierce, and he is famous for his attack on the field, he and Jing Xing are inseparable old opponents from the World Youth Championships, and the two sides have won and lost each other.

saw Jing Xing standing on the final court with his teammate Zhao Yuan and becoming opponents; Seeing that Jiang Yungu lost to his teammate Li Shan, he regretted stopping in the semifinals.

Everyone has wins and losses, everyone is joy and regret, but everyone is the ball does not fall to the ground and never gives up, watching them shout for every point they win, Su Nian seems to have slowly realized something, she slowly strengthened her belief in this atmosphere of fighting for the country, she believes that she can one day stand on the field of winning glory for the country.

Mixed doubles they started from the qualifying round, the strength of the opponents in front of them was not very strong, and there were almost no obstacles along the way, the semi-finals defeated the Korean chipping combination, and in the final, they will meet Jiang Yungu and Zhao Yuan, who are also national table tennis, and they lost to each other 3:4 in the last domestic simulation match.

Jiang Yungu and Zhao Yuan are old partners in the World Youth Championships, and the two of them are holding the shot on the left and the right, Su Nian and Jing Xing know that they will face a strong opponent, so they can only fight against the water.
