Accompany you to the top

After the warm-up match in Chengdu, Qiu Ji's condition gradually improved.The ball went smoothly, and soon, almost all the media used "No disease, light body, return to the top is just around the corner" as the headline. In mid-July, the National Table Tennis Team went to London for a series of adaptive training.During this period of time, Qiu Ji has been training a lot, but his diet has not increased much, so he lost seven or eight catties very quickly.The figure became thinner, and the edges and corners of the face appeared.When he was not smiling, there was a sense of murderousness for no reason.

After half a year of training, not only is the technique and tactics mature, but also the mind is more mature.

Delegations from various countries moved into the Olympic Village one after another. On July 7, the opening ceremony of the London Convention and Exhibition Center ended. On July 28, the Chinese table tennis team officially entered the third and fourth rounds of men's singles.For the singles, Qiu Ji and Kui Bao played, You Yu only participated in the group, and Shouhou took the P card as a substitute.

Qiu Ji drew lots excitedly, and found that he had been assigned to the death zone. All of them looked to be top-ranked players in the world.Although Qiu Ji is ranked relatively high in the world and is currently the No. 32 seed of the Chinese team, if he wants to win the Olympic Games, he will go from 16 to [-] all the way to the final, and he will go through at least five rounds.

Some people hope to meet some good players on the way, but some people think that such bloody battles will stimulate the blood in people's bones, and they will perform better.

Qiu Ji is quite excited, he will play better when he is strong.This half a year is enough for him to calm down, think, improve, and thoroughly analyze every opponent.These are accumulations that make him thick.

Late one night before the game, Qiu Ji tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.In the middle of the night, seeing that You Yu was fast asleep, he quietly sent a WeChat message to Lin Qiao: "Baby, I can't sleep." Early the next morning, the first match was going to be played at ten o'clock London time, and the opponent was still The rookie dark horse who lost not long ago, countless people are waiting to see him play a round.

Lin Qiao probably didn't sleep much, so he replied in seconds: "Then don't sleep."

Qiu Ji: "...you are still my cutie!"

Lin Qiao: "Who did you learn from? It's getting more and more nasty every day."

Qiu Ji: "Self-taught hahahaha." Seeing that Lin Qiao didn't reply, he sent another message: "Baby, predict whether I can win tomorrow?"

After waiting for a long time for no reply, Qiu Ji was a little depressed, and poked his phone: "Ignore me again."

At this time, the screen lit up, and I received a WeChat message from Lin Qiao: "Winning, don't forget that I'm time-traveling."

Qiu Ji knew that Lin Qiao wanted to relieve his tension, and he felt much better after seeing it, so he replied, "Good night, baby!" Putting the phone aside, resting his hands on his head, he counted silently, "One Lin Qiao, two Lin Qiaos!" Bridge..." His eyelids were heavy, and he slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Qiu Ji started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find things, sweating anxiously: "Where is it? Hey, did you take a bath yesterday?" Then he ran to the bathroom to look for things.

You Yu yawned: "What are you looking for?"

Qiu Ji's voice came from the bathroom: "My jade pendant!"

You Yuna stopped in the middle of her yawn.Everyone knows that Qiu Ji regards the jade pendant as his life, and he must wear it every time he competes to be at ease.The game is about to start, and if the jade pendant is gone, my mood will definitely be affected.The bigger the competition, the more the psychology affects the performance.

You Yu thought for a while, then took out a black velvet bag from his box, and poured it into the palm of his hand, revealing a smooth jade pendant.

He looked at the jade pendant for a long time, and finally put it under Qiu Ji's bed.

Qiu Ji couldn't find it in the bathroom, went back to his room and continued to turn over his bed, and finally found the jade pendant under the bed: "Ah! I found it!" He took it out and blew on it, and found that the rope on it was gone: "The rope Woolen cloth?"

You Yu handed him a red string: "Take this."

Qiu Ji was about to speak when he heard Lin Qiao yelling outside: "Hurry up!" He hurriedly put the jade on and replied, "Here we come!"

When Qiu Ji picked the ball, his mind was still a little dazed, and his eyelids were heavy.When we arrived at the competition site, the circle in the tenth row was all densely packed with red!He was actually not too nervous before he came out, but after entering the arena, he was a little excited when he heard the loud roar.

People from all over the world, of different colors and ages, gather here.With various flags on their cheeks, they shouted in different languages: "China!" "!" Everything hit the eardrums.He shouted neatly and loudly: "China!" The other side tried to suppress the voice, but the effect was not obvious, after all, there are more people and more strength.At present, China ranks second in the number of medals, and everyone is eagerly waiting for a few gold medals in table tennis to catch up with the United States!

Qiu Ji rubbed his ears, feeling that the atmosphere of the stadium was too enthusiastic. After all, it was the Olympics, and it attracted more attention than any other event.

After the two entered the arena, they waved to the audience in all directions.Because it was broadcast live around the world, countless short shots were aimed at the arena.The flags hung high and the bright lights hit the table, heralding the imminent battle of life and death.

Qiu Ji was dressed in the black team uniform of the Chinese Panlong. After the blade was polished, he was still a high-spirited young king.He remained silent, as if his whole body was covered by a piercing murderous aura.As soon as he raised his hand, there was a burst of fanatical cheers: "qiu!! qiu!!!" He put his index finger to his lips again, and the audience quickly fell silent.

The young Swedish general in yellow with red hair glanced at him expressionlessly, then quickly turned back and waved at the audience.

Qiu Ji caught a glimpse of Qiu Guangyuan sitting on the lounge, and quickly looked away, thinking, wait, you won't even get a gold medal!

After the opening remark in a rustling voice, he quickly got to the point: "The one in black is the third-ranked Chinese player in the world, Qiu Ji. He has been resting for half a year, and he has lost his world ranking. It took a team fight to unfreeze the points. Unfortunately, in the final of the team competition, I lost to this young Swedish player. This is a battle of revenge. Some people on the Internet said that he will play in the first round. What do you think, Team Leader Mi ?”

Leader Mi said: "Qiu Ji played well in the Olympic warm-up match. I believe he will perform well today." He also introduced this young Swedish player who ranks second in the world: "He has a very high winning percentage recently, and he won last time. A brother from Sweden."

He said in a husky voice: "Qiu Ji is still the favorite to win the championship. I hope he won't lose the chain! Perhaps the more worrying thing is the experience problem. How to face the tense atmosphere of the Olympic Games and mobilize yourself? And it's morning again. It’s ten o’clock, maybe the body is still awake, haha.” He thought he was humorous, and laughed twice, but no one paid attention to him, and moved the microphone awkwardly: “Okay, let’s watch the game now!”

Qiu Ji didn't even see the ball clearly at the beginning of the game, so he lost several points in a row!The scoreboard quickly turned to 4:0!

All kinds of live broadcasts started: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

"Finally, my foot is healed!"

"It's over, the most embarrassing round trip in history..."

"Speaking badly about him, is it enough? Qiu Ji has always been like this, so let's take it slow! Watching his games is like this, you don't know what will happen until the last moment."

"I believe he is capable, but he can't even open his eyelids now, so what else can he fight..."

"Is he nervous or hasn't woken up, he feels a little slow in reaction!"

"Nonsense, tens of thousands of people stare at your serve, lose a ball and win a ball, the whole court roars until the floor is shaking, can you not be nervous?"

Everyone expressed their concern!

Qiu Ji himself still looks a little bit reluctant to let go.He himself realized this, wiped off his sweat, fanned the wind with the cricket, and jumped on the ground twice.Shouting behind him as if the earth was shaking, "china! qiu!!" He tore off his clothes, bent over and prepared to receive the serve.

In any case, it is inevitable that everyone will be nervous when going to the Olympics for the first time.Lin Qiao watched from the sidelines, feeling quite worried, but he didn't call for a timeout.

The first round was quickly lost by 11:4. Qiu Ji felt that his shots were not decisive enough, and he probably did not warm up enough.He was so sleepy that he couldn't even turn his head. When he walked back to the lounge, Lin Qiao pinched his shoulder: "It's only one round, it's okay! Four out of seven rounds! You will run around the field later, jumping and jumping." , It’s all right! Try to play as many rounds as possible, just be steady, and you must let yourself enter the state as soon as possible, and you can’t slow down.”

Qiu Ji tugged at his hair, "I feel like I can't control my hands and feet. Hey, isn't that red haired person participating in the Olympics for the first time? He performed so well! Besides, his hair is well dyed, and he looks pretty." "

Lin Qiao was most afraid that he would have a mental collapse. Seeing that his mind could contain the entire universe, he was so angry and funny.When is it, I still have to imagine what color people dyed!He swears that he never paid attention to other people's hair color when he played in the Olympics, but only cared about whether his hair was messed up.However, my situation at that time was different from that of Qiu Ji, he was ahead by a large margin at that time!This kid lost a game and is still thinking about it!

Lin Qiao said: "Don't worry about others, you can do your own thing."

Qiu Ji muttered a few words, always feeling that his hair color had lost a bit, and then went to play again with the racket.The tactics guided by Lin Qiao were right. Qiu Ji tried his best to drag the situation into a stalemate. In this way, he had a lot of activities, and he smashed vigorously. After counterattacking a few balls, he finally began to regain the feeling of playing a little bit!

The score came to 3:2, the situation was tense, but Qiu Ji became even more excited!At the same time, the audience on the field saw the hope of recovering, and almost all stood up and shouted, with smoke coming out of their throats: "China!!!!!!"

Qiu Ji can see that the opponent has retained their strength. After all, there are still four games to come, and energy allocation is still very important.Hongmao's point of view is obviously that it is enough to play with four points of strength in this round.But if you can win with one point of strength, you never need two points!

Narrator: "Wow, I just said that Qiu Ji was going to lose, now I'm starting to work hard!"

Qiu Ji really started to exert his strength!He began to use his strong serve, high toss and spin the ball.In the blink of an eye, a powerful attack was launched!The white ball spun extremely fast, almost rushing towards it with a ferocious posture!Because of the strong serve, the opponent didn't dare to fight at all, only dared to rub the board, which gave Qiu Ji a chance.

Qiu Ji was like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves. When the cricket was pulled, the ball rushed back in an irregular arc!In the first game just now, there were several missed shots, because the body was not stretched out, it was a little tight, and the hit was not accurate.But this time, the ball's landing point was extremely tricky, scraping the edge of the table fiercely!

Just as he was about to say a good shot with a husky voice, Team Leader Mi said first: "This Swedish rookie is too strong!" It is impossible for ordinary people to catch such a tricky landing point, but the red hair is like a prophet!He predicted it, caught it, and counterattacked!terrible.

Seeing the white ball hooked, the red hair was pulled back with a swipe!Everyone's breath is in the throat!In the next second, Qiu Ji quickly fought back!That strength and posture are like a fierce beast with red eyes.The red hair entangled Qiu Ji tightly like a boa constrictor, and Qiu Ji's offensive of opening and closing did not weaken at all!On the contrary, his fighting spirit and blood in his bones were aroused even more, and he began to attack more fiercely!

smash!

Another smash!

Bite back and forth extremely anxious!The red hair was obviously also anxious, and the two men's offensives became more and more violent. The white ball smashed down on the table like an axe, trying to bite off a piece of meat, and the ferocious cricket swept across, with a sharp and sharp straight line, sweeping away thousands of troops.

Qiu Ji refused to give in, and the spin was so strong that it was almost a dead spin. At this moment, the net was wiped!

The spectators on the field watched helplessly as the white ball touched the edge of the net, spun rapidly, and headed towards the edge of the table!The arc was extremely irregular, and they couldn't help but exhale in a low voice: "Ah—" It's about to go out of bounds!

Hongmao turned around to rescue, and the cricket stretched over!

Boom!

A heavy hammer fell, and the white ball rubbed against the white line at the corner of the table.

The white ball landed and Qiu Ji scored!

It's 3:3, and it's back!

The light was so bright that Qiu Ji seemed to roar from the depths of his heart, he would not lose, the king will return soon!

All of a sudden, the audience burst into thunderous applause, almost toppling the roof of the venue, and the voices of countless people suddenly gathered together, forming a name: "Qiu Ji! Qiu Ji! Qiu Ji!" There was only one person's name next to his ear, Resounding throughout the venue, drowning out all sounds!
