Chapter 110 An explanation
Imperial Capital.
China national team training base.
With a "squeak" sound, He Jingping gently opened the ajar door of the office, walked in, and said respectfully: "Head coach, I'm here."
Cai Guodong raised his head from the curls in front of him and smiled gently at him: "You're welcome. Just sit down when you come. Sit down and talk."
He Jingping, however, was still respectful. He responded and sat down on the sofa next to him. He kept his body upright, unlike how he usually slumped into the sofa when he came to chat.
"Old He, Old He, you are just too serious..."
Cai Guodong looked at him again, finally closed the roll in front of him, and comforted: "It's okay, I just want to talk to you first, don't feel any psychological pressure."
"I understand, and I am very grateful for your continued trust and understanding."
He Jingping was very tense today and said firmly: "But Luo Jiu played three times and lost to the foreign association three times. This is indeed a taboo of Chinese table tennis, so if you have anything to say, just say it. I have already prepared the interview."
Be mentally prepared for any situation.”
Cai Guodong saw that he couldn't stop trying to persuade him, so he stopped trying. He was silent for a moment and sighed: "Old He, I also know that the game yesterday was actually excusable."
He Jingping remained silent.
We are all coaches of the national team and have a very clear understanding of the current situation of Huaping.
There is nothing wrong with Luo Jiu's loss to Lin Zijun. Even if it were Lin Li or Bai Feng, there would still be a 60% chance of losing.
I can only say that Lin Zijun really went crazy yesterday!
He was even able to win a game in the hands of the Dragons. This kind of thing has not happened in how many years during the internal cycle of Huaping?
But the problem is, this is Huaping.
Here is Huaping, which has dominated the world table tennis for 20 consecutive years, always winning and undefeated, and being ashamed of being the runner-up.
Huaping does not talk about objective reasons, it only talks about victory or defeat.
The main players of the national team are not allowed to lose to foreign associations. Every loss will seriously reduce the player's score in the eyes of the coaching staff. When this score is lower than a certain value, the player will lose the qualification to continue competing in international competitions.
.
"There are so many people lining up to win glory for the country. What qualifications do you have to continue to occupy the spot after losing?"
This is a red line, a hard target that even Cai Guodong would not dare to touch easily.
Otherwise, how could Geng Shuai be sentenced to death for losing a game seven years ago?
He Jingping dared to help Luo Jiu register for the Kangaroo National Championship. He actually believed that Luo Jiu could make it this time. However, he never expected that at the most critical moment of Luo Jiu's career, someone would suddenly appear.
Lin Zijun is here.
He Jingping was stunned.
He didn't fall asleep all night last night. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes. All he could see in front of him was Lin Zijun twisting the ball with his backhand.
He boarded an international flight in the early morning and arrived at the Chinese Table Tennis Training Base at noon. He only had time to drink water when he received the notice summoned by Cai Guodong.
This shows the serious nature of this matter.
Cai Guodong added: "There is nothing wrong with the national team now. Everyone knows that Luo Jiu has been wronged, but the pressure from the outside is a bit strong. We need to give them an explanation."
He Jingping didn't say anything for a long time.
Cai Guodong waited for half a minute and said softly: "Lao He... can you express your attitude?"
He Jingping gritted his teeth and said: "Head coach, if they want someone to take responsibility, I am willing to take the blame. If Luo Jiu cannot give them a satisfactory answer next time he plays, I am willing to give up my personal career and all honors.
"
He paused and his expression became a little bleak: "But I haven't dared to say this just now, because I have already given up once. If I give up again this time, what is the punishment? I am old, even if I retire,
It’s okay, Xiaojiu is the one who really suffers. I cheated him once, how can I cheat him a second time?”
A slight smile flashed across Cai Guodong's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and he said seriously: "This is really inappropriate... You need to come up with a more reasonable plan."
He Jingping was silent for a long time and said softly: "Head coach, I am a straightforward person and I can't figure out those twists and turns. Just tell me directly. What do you want me to do? As long as Xiaojiu is not involved, I will be punished in any way.
All accepted.”
Cai Guodong did not hide anything and said directly: "You need to accept a special interview on China Television Sports Channel and explain to the audience everything you have done during Luo Jiu's technical transformation, as well as the feasibility of your tactical concepts.
And at the end of the interview...you need to talk bigger."
He Jingping said in surprise: "Amplify your words?"
"Yes." Cai Guodong nodded slowly: "Tell them, Luo Jiu's technical reform will definitely succeed. After success, he will be even more powerful than before. He will continue to win championships in the future and will never fall out of the main force of the national team...
After saying these words, all the fingers will be pointed at you, and Luo Jiu will get a relatively relaxed public opinion environment. And if Luo Jiu fails to do what you said in the future, you will bear unimaginable pressure."
He paused and took a deep look at He Jingping: "Old He, do you dare to go?"
He Jingping suddenly became excited, his originally fair face turned red, and he jumped up from the sofa.
"Okay, I'll go!" He Jingping said angrily: "What am I afraid of? Not only do I want to say that Xiao Jiu is better than before, but I also want to say that he can go to the Olympics next year and win the Olympic singles championship! Yes, I said
Yes, I, He Jingping, said it! He can win a Grand Slam!"
He Jingping left.
He came with a heavy heart and left with a lot of anger. Like a hungry wolf who was driven to a dead end, he went straight to the team members' dormitory in a hurry, thinking about grabbing Xiao Jiu and having a special training in hell, and completing the skills no matter what.
Change, slap the faces of those who gossip.
Cai Guodong did not leave the office, but chuckled: "Lao Zhu, are you relieved now?"
The office was very large, and there was a large screen behind the desk, which separated the office room in the front from the lunch break room in the back. At this time, the door opened, and it was Zhu Zeshi who walked out of the lunch break room.
"Thank you, head coach."
Zhu Zeshi thanked him sincerely: "My junior disciple is impatient and emotional. After returning to the coaching staff this time, he has been holding his breath. I am really afraid that he will lose his breath and do something inappropriate on impulse.
, I can only trouble the head coach to perform a play with me."
Cai Guodong laughed again, lowered his head and looked at the files spread out in front of him, and said: "Your method is quite interesting. It can really let Lao He vent all his emotions. Originally, he couldn't find a target to get angry, but now his target is
It’s clear, those reporters will suffer a bit, and they will probably be criticized miserably by Lao He... But, Lao Zhu, have you ever thought that if you do this, you will put him on the fire, in case the time comes
Luo Jiu didn't type out, what do you want him to do? Do you really want to be accused by thousands of people?"
The always majestic Zhu Zeshi finally showed a faint smile: "Head coach, your heart is like a mirror and you know everything, why do you still ask me such questions?"
He pointed at the dossier Cai Guodong was reading from a distance and said leisurely: "Do you really think... Qin Huachang wrote this thing independently and did not get angry with me?"
Cai Guodong was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, pointed at Zhu Zeshi, and without saying anything, he just waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
After Zhu Zeshi left, Cai Guodong continued to look down at the document. He read it very carefully, almost pondering and analyzing sentence by sentence. By the time he finished reading, it was already more than ten minutes later.
The title of this document is called "Details of Luo Jiu's technical reform, technological advancement, and feasibility analysis." It talks about all the technical and tactical ideas of Luo Jiu's technical reform, as well as the countermeasures when facing various types of opponents.
At the end of the document, it was concluded: "I personally believe that this technical reform has a 90% chance of success, and will become an important reference indicator for future players' technical reform, and Luo Jiu will definitely return to the top position in men's table tennis."
Among others, I suggest giving Luo Jiu one more chance. If the head coach allows me, I can take the initiative to persuade Lin Li to give up Luo Jiu’s spot in the Asian Cup in October.”
What the author wrote at the end of this document were three thin and stylish Chinese characters for "Qin Huachang".
Cai Guodong was a little relieved at this moment.
He is very satisfied with the leadership team he leads.
Although the outside world has been comparing the Qin sect and the Zhu sect many years ago, trying to determine the winner or loser, they have even formed factions and quarreled with each other endlessly.
But in fact, within the national team, the relationship between the coaches is very harmonious.
The so-called Qin Sect is just Qin Huachang and his two disciples.
The so-called Zhumen are just Zhu Zeshi, He Jingping and their two apprentices.
In fact, there is still Wangmen, because coach Wang Lu brought out Bai Feng.
In fact, there are also Xiaomen, Caimen, etc., because every national team coach has disciples, but some are already famous all over the world, and some are still waiting for an opportunity.
There is no door in the world. It is just for the sake of distinction and comparison that we have these names unknowingly.
Neither the Qin Clan nor the Zhu Clan is actually a faction, let alone a sect, and they have never done anything to seek personal gain with power or suppress outsiders.
It's just that as Qin Huachang and Zhu Zeshi's status gets higher and higher, and their disciples get stronger and stronger, they will naturally have enough influence on the underlying structure of the Chinese table tennis world.
that is it.
That's all.
Just looking at the performance of Zhu Zeshi and Qin Huachang after Luo Jiu's accident, Cai Guodong knew that the Chinese table tennis world, at least in the hands of these coaches, would never truly decline.
Wandao Lin Zijun?
Is Zhang Ben crazy in Sakura Country?
The super newcomers from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Kimchi Country?
hehe.
As long as I, Huaping, train a few more talented young people, I will suppress you all!
Cai Guodong finally took out another document from the drawer and went out.
This is a Letter of Guarantee signed in his own name.
He did not throw the blame for Luo Jiu's consecutive defeats to any of his coaches, but took it upon himself. This "Letter of Guarantee" was his explanation in the face of accountability from the top management of the General Administration of Sports.
"If the future development of the situation proves that my coaching team has made any mistakes on Luo Jiu's technical transformation and coaching issues, I, Cai Guodong, will be willing to bear the responsibility!"
He personally delivered the document to the General Administration of Sports and left with a smile.
Chapter completed!
