The top table tennis team

That year, Liu Shiwen was less than fourteen years old. The coaching staff was afraid of premature love problems, so they paired her with Zhang Ji in a mixed doubles match.

"Brother Long, if you were afraid of falling in love too early, why did you let her play mixed doubles with Zhang Ji? Wasn't the coaching staff at the time afraid that the two would develop feelings for each other?"

Yu Man now also manages the administrative work of the women's team and is very puzzled by this personnel arrangement.

Long Teng glanced at Yu Man, and a sigh came out of the mouth of this handsome man.

"At that time, Zhang Ji was the youngest among the top three players in the national table tennis team, and I don't know what went on between him and Xiao Zao, but the first time they met, they argued for half an hour over the issues of the court and the rackets."

"Zhang Ji was also a popular table tennis talent at the time. He became famous at a young age and was naturally a little frivolous. He was always arrogant and unruly in the team."

"After Xiaozao joined the national team, the men's and women's teams should have had no interaction. However, the two of them quarreled for a long time because of the issue of holding the racket by mistake. Both the men's and women's teams came to watch that day."

"Xiao Zao was like a fighting chicken, constantly launching verbal attacks on Zhang Ji. Although Zhang Ji was arrogant, he was still a gentleman to girls. He was also very abnormal that day, calling Liu Shiwen a tomboy. The two of them started a verbal battle for half an hour."

"Later, the coaching staff called the person over and he received the punishment, and the matter was over."

"Although the incident has passed, the feud has been formed, so the coaching staff never thought that these two people would fall in love."

"On the first day of being paired up, coach Ma Lin specifically told the two not to fall in love."

Liu Shiwen crossed her arms and said with disdain, "As for him, even if all the men in the world were dead, I would not have anything to do with this man."

The young Zhang Ji naturally looked disdainful and said, "Don't worry, coach. I should find a woman when I fall in love. I won't be so blind as to fall in love with a tomboy."

Humph, the young boy and girl just held each other's hands, one heading east and the other heading west. When Marin saw the state of the two, he was not worried, but smiled knowingly.

Seeing the status of these two people, he finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart. He patted the notebook in his hand and reported to Liu Liangguo with a smile.

During that time, what Long Teng and Xu Xin heard the most was Zhang Ji's narration, sometimes he was a tomboy and sometimes a little fat boy.

But Zhang Ji didn't realize that since partnering with Xiaozao, the originally rebellious boy has slowly begun to care about other people's feelings.

He used to like sleeping in and was late every day and was punished by standing in the corner. However, because he wanted to argue with Xiaozao, he actually changed to being the first one to arrive at the training ground.

That summer, he and Xu Xin's favorite thing to do was to watch the mixed doubles partners next door bickering and quarreling. How should I put it, it was more exciting than what was shown in TV dramas.

"Hey, do you want to step on me to death, you pig?" Zhang Ji and Liu Shiwen were practicing mixed doubles at this time. Because they had just become partners, they had no tacit understanding at all.

"You idiot, you are uncoordinated and you blame me. A 60-year-old man is more flexible than you." Liu Shiwen was not humble and directly retorted.

The two sparring partners on the opposite side had great tacit understanding. They ignored the quarreling pair and directly hit another ball over.

"Ball", the quarreling genius boy and girl went to hit it at the same time, "bang, ah", the sound echoed throughout the training hall.

After four games, the two who barely avoided having their heads shaved off sat on a bench in the training ground, looked at each other, and turned their heads away. This game was the worst practice they had ever had in their history of playing basketball.

After that, the two seemed to be at odds with each other. You walk and I stretch my legs. You go east and I go west. The mixed doubles are always practiced badly. In singles, each of them is the king, while the mixed doubles is a hopeless situation.

This was the most pertinent evaluation from fans at the time.

At first, Marin was secretly happy when he saw the two people's dislike for each other. However, after practicing for a few months, there was no progress in mixed doubles, which made him anxious.

Although I don't want to fall in love too early, I don't have to treat my enemy like one every day.

Later, for some unknown reason, Marin and his teammates discovered that both of them had changed. The sounds of "stupid pig" on the training ground turned into "xiaozao, xiaozao, xiaozao".

Everyone thought that this was the beginning of a better relationship, but only Long Teng knew that things might not be good, because he found that Zhang Ji had changed. Before, he looked down on everyone, but later he put Xiao Zao first in everything.

His originally arrogant eyes would occasionally look at Xiaozao, with an ambiguous tenderness in them.

During the arduous training, small dates became the only sweetness for the 17-year-old boy.

It was originally thought that the confidentiality work would be done well, but Zhang Ji was young and frivolous, and one day he did not hide his love in his social space and sent a message that aroused many suspicions from fans.

The rumors of their romance caused a stir.

Ma Lin didn't take the matter seriously at first, so Liu Liangguo specifically found him and asked him to pay special attention to the dynamics of both of them.

"Pa pa pa", Marin slapped his chest loudly and said, "I can guarantee that there is no possibility of love between them. If these two people fall in love with each other, I will walk upside down in the future."

They quarrel like enemies every day, which makes his head hurt. How can they be compatible with each other? He will find a sow to date in the future.

Although he got Ma Lin's assurance, Liu Liangguo's heart was still beating wildly. His eyelids twitched when he thought of that thorny person Zhang Ji.

That kid has been stubborn and cruel since he was young. When he first joined the national second team, he lost a game with an older teammate and actually knocked on the dormitory door with a knife in the middle of the night.

He picked up the knife and said to the team member, "Let's do it again. This time, whoever loses will have a finger chopped off. If you lose two games, two fingers will be chopped off. This continues until all the fingers are chopped off."

The older athlete swallowed his saliva and came directly to him out of fear. When Liu Liangguo heard this, he got furious. It was simply ridiculous that he called Zhang Ji over. That was the first time he formally met this arrogant and undisciplined person.

"Do you know you're wrong?" Liu Liangguo stood up and looked down at the child who was a head shorter than him.

"I'm not wrong, it's that man who is cowardly and doesn't dare to compete with me," said the young Zhang Ji, holding a knife with an arrogant look on his face.

"Haha, if you're brave, take a knife and go to the playground and run ten laps. You are not allowed to sleep until you finish," Liu Liangguo said with a dark face, deliberately trying to scare him.

A trace of stubbornness flashed across Zhang Ji's face. He held a kitchen knife in his hand, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself, looking like he was being bullied.

"Why are you not convinced? Where did you get the kitchen knife?" Liu Liangguo planned to change his tactics to make the kid obey him.

"Reporting to the coach, I stole it from the kitchen," Zhang Ji puffed out his chest and raised his head, looking like a thief with a clear conscience.

"Not sleeping in the middle of the night is against the rules, it's stealing, it's against the rules, are you convinced now?"

"I give up," Zhang Ji's momentum was suppressed by Liu Liangguo, and he picked up a kitchen knife and ran to the playground.

There are no docile sheep among the Chinese table tennis players, they are all fierce wolves. However, this little wolf cub in front of you, if not properly disciplined, may easily become a ferocious tiger and bite you in return.
