Chapter 1: Clutch
In 2003, Paris World Table Tennis Championships.After Zhang Yining heard the results of the last game, she walked from the waiting room to the 8-to-4 arena with a blank expression. For some reason, people she met along the way avoided her.On the other side of the table, the opponent in this game who bowed seriously was the Japanese player Ai Fukuhara, who was less than 15 years old and eliminated Li Jiawei in the last game.Porcelain doll lobs and slices the ball, opening the game.
Seeing the kid on the opposite side come to pick up the ball, his eyes were getting redder and his expression was getting more and more trembling. Zhang Yining flicked the ball in a dead corner to end the first round, and went to the sideline to drink water. Li Zhi didn't listen to a word, pursed his mouth and thought Life.
Standing there and being beaten and cried by himself, it shouldn't be a bun face.
At Beijing Shichahai Sports School, five-year-old Xiao Zhang looked across the ball table, and first saw the little pink hairpin that held his temples.The person on the opposite side looked up after checking the racket, with a shy smile on his oval face, "Hello, my name is Li Jiawei." "Well, just don't lose to me and cry... It's very troublesome." Xiao Zhang muttered lessons from the past Made a note of the name.
From the age of five to nine, Xiao Zhang's worries were never realized.Even though Li Jiawei lost countless games to Zhang Yining, she would always smile and pull Xiao Zhang to buy popsicles after the games.
At the age of nine, Xiao Zhang participated in the children's table tennis competition in Beijing for the first time on behalf of Dongcheng District and made it to the finals.The first two rounds were tied 1:1, and Zhang Yining fell behind 13:15 in the third round.Many years later, both of them retired after shining in the annals of history. This game was recognized by China and Singapore as "the only chance in Li Jiawei's life to beat Zhang Yining". Luo Luo pouted his mouth in grievance, wiped his sweat and tears; and the opponent who used to smile no matter how badly he lost was confused by this posture and lost the championship he was about to get.
For many years after Xiao Zhang became Lao Zhang, whether it was the 2000 National Table Tennis Championships where Bai Yang lost the Sydney Olympic Games, or the 2002-2 situation in 0 when she was pulled by Nan Jie for three consecutive rounds, and because she threw the racket and served indiscriminately. Banned for half a year, Lao Zhang's eye sockets were always dry.
Zhang Yining shed tears on the field, this is only once in this life.
Xiao Baozi made a mistake and lost the second game, ran to the coach and cried like a faucet, Lao Zhang looked up at the light in a daze.
At the age of 15, Xiao Zhang looked up at the lights of the airport, and gritted his back molars with the words "Why are you leaving?"
Comrades, cry out to your opponents, what a loss, what a shame!The calm and domineering Xiao Zhang secretly made up his mind to beat Li Jiawei to tears no matter what!When he lost to himself in the intra-school competition, Xiao Li wiped off his sweat and asked, "Which shop did you buy the popsicles today?"; when he lost to himself in the inter-school competition, Xiao Li put the racket in his bag, "Let's go back to the car, we can't catch up soon." ; Lost to himself in the Beijing game, Xiao Li bowed and left silently...
Although Xiao Zhang's ambition has never been realized, she is not in a hurry, and the future will be long.Not long ago, I was selected into the second national team with Li Jiawei. In national-level competitions and world-level competitions, there is always a chance to make her cry!
But this long future, why is it gone?
In 1996, the national table tennis team started to raise wolves. The Singapore women’s team came to Beijing to pick someone. They took a fancy to Xiao Zhang and wanted to pack it away. At this time, Xiao Zhang’s first coach jumped out to stop him: “This kid can’t do it! This kid will be the world champion in the future. Yes!" The Singaporean coach turned to ask Li Jiawei, the second female number in the youth team, and wanted to try his luck, but Xiao Li really agreed.
Xiao Zhang was ruthless in his heart, we jumped into the world before the whole country met, right?Okay, in the future, I will meet again and again... I will finally feel empty after seeing the smile of the person who is about to leave, and I say take care.
When Zhang Yining was elected to the national team, it took a lot of trouble, not because of her grades, but because she scored significantly low in a comprehensive test [psychology], and some coaches strongly opposed her entry on this ground. national team.
... How did Xiao Zhang, who had a problem with his psychological quality, grow into an old Zhang who did not change his color before the mountain collapsed!
The teacher of the culture class wrote on the blackboard: I advise you to drink a glass of wine, and go west to Yangguan without any old friends.
"In the third game, Zhang Yining also didn't give the opponent any chance, and scored No. 11 points with his good arc fast break!" Lao Zhang listened to the commentary and glanced at the field in a daze.Obviously it is a place I have been looking forward to for a long time, but when I actually stand up, I always feel that something is missing.
The reunion in the international arena that they thought would come soon as a teenager was not so easy.If you can't qualify for the second team, even if you get into the first team, the opportunity is mostly for the seniors.After becoming one of the best players in the two countries, each other's state was unstable, or they couldn't meet each other due to injuries or lottery factors, and it took seven years to go around.
In the days after seeing the match list of the World Table Tennis Championships, Lao Zhang only had training in his mind.For athletes, a daily nap is very important.As soon as Lao Zhang closed his eyes at noon, he saw the ball coming with a golden edge. He raised his eyes to see the opponent's appearance, but he couldn't see clearly.
After a day of training, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep quickly, but I dreamed of table tennis three days a week, and I always dreamed of playing games with others.Did you win the dream?I feel that many of my skills have not been developed, and I am not satisfied!And it's not the world championship, I'm not satisfied!When dreaming and losing, why do you feel that you have practiced so many things so useless?What a pity!
I feel dissatisfied with everything in my dreams, so what do I want... Looking at the ceiling in Paris, Lao Zhang got up and went to the arena.
Zhang Yining looked at Ai Fukuhara across the table, and frowned: In the end, you lost to such a kid who was less than fifteen
I didn't even look at my back.
Zhang Yining hit the last beat, and Zhang Yining zeroed Ai Fukuhara.
When Lao Zhang turned around, Sister Nan, who was watching the battle, ruffled his short hair and pinched his cheeks, "You can't let two... teeth be crushed?"
The porcelain doll bowed after the competition and cried out of breath in the arena. Wang Nan walked over and squatted down, patting the child on the back. What does it mean in Japanese, "Wang Nan...sister, I am your... fan, can you sign me a... name, okay...?" The child raised his head buried in his arms and froze.
Zhang Yining wiped the sweat off his head with a finger, and looked at the venue and didn't want to leave for the time being.Why exactly, that person left everything in his home country and went to Singapore when he was 15 years old like Xiaokuibao.
Sweat smashed on the racket, like someone's tears.
After the 2004 Athens Olympics, Fukuhara Aiyuri came to China and joined the Liaoning Bengang Table Tennis Club where Wang Nan was.
Both leaving and coming are probably for the purpose of appearing in the same arena with a certain person.
The author has something to say: one sentence summary: jokes are true, and psychological activities are brain supplements.
Those years when Sister Nan and Zhang Shuangxing shined in love and killed each other will be forgotten by the world, and it is also a time that I will never go back.
