Chapter 163 Only by defeating them one by one can you become the real new king of table tennis!

11: 4.

11: 4.

11: 1.

Witnessing Chen Jin’s big score of 3:0, he almost crushed Felix, who is ranked sixth in the world and the current world number one.

in the audience.

Liu Guoliang, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled from ear to ear.

“Good boy!”

“Do your best!”

Liu Guoliang looked back.

The audience stood up and applauded and cheered for Chen Jin’s victory.

What’s more, there were a few girls not far away who were hysterical and almost cried out for oxygen.

The atmosphere on the scene was already so hot.

Isn’t it even crazier online?

Liu Guoliang took his cell phone out without panicking.

“Yo.”

“It’s trending again.”

“Chen Jin’s current popularity seems to be quite fierce.”

In fact, it is enough to be on par with the other two.

The corners of Liu Guoliang’s mouth curled up, which was harder to suppress than AK.

To know.

At this time, Chen Jin had just debuted, but he was able to quickly become popular in such a short time.

Strength is certainly important.

Behind this, of course, there is also the instigation of others.

Liu Guoliang turned his gaze and looked down from afar at Chen Jin who was waving to the audience in the stadium.

How can this be called the “world’s first straight board”?
It is clearly a golden money tree!
“No matter what, after this match, Chen Jin can really use the gimmick of ‘the world’s number one straight board’ in his external publicity.”

Liu Guoliang smiled slightly, “The traffic brought by the gimmick of the world’s first straight board is really not low.”

Of course, with all this hard work, traffic is not the ultimate goal.

Traffic monetization is the key.

“It all depends on Chen Jin’s ability to sell things in the future.”

Talents emerge in every generation. For sustainable development, all eggs cannot be put in one basket.

What’s more, Chen Jin is younger and has greater potential in the future.

Coupled with Chen Jin’s own strength, it would not be a problem for him to create another Zhang Jike or Ma Taki.

Think about this.

Liu Guoliang straightened his collar and looked at Chen Jin deeply.

Then he stood up and left the scene.

not far away.

Ma Long, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin sat together and watched the match between Chen Jin and Felix from beginning to end.

“This Chen Jin is really fierce.”

Liang Jingkun whispered, “I even wonder if he lied about his age.”

As soon as he heard the words “lying about age”, a strange look flashed across Wang Chuqin’s eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

Although he said this, Liang Jingkun knew it very well in his heart.

Lying about or changing one’s age is actually quite common.

In order to achieve better results in the youth group, some people deliberately change their age to a younger one.

however.

The WTT Grand Slam is not the World Table Tennis Championships.

There is no need to change the age.

In other words, this was really a game played by a fifteen-year-old boy!

“A little fierce.”

Liang Jingkun turned his head and looked at Ma Long and Wang Chuqin beside him.

The two men stared at the arena in silence, and no one knew what they were thinking.

but.

There was a glimmer of expectation in Ma Taki’s eyes.

Before this, Ma Long had fought with Felix several times and won every time.

But winning is not easy.

After all, Ma Taki is now at his age. His physical strength, pace, reaction and speed are no longer the “Anshan Little Pony” of the past, and his ability to save forehand shots is no longer at its peak.

In addition, Felix’s strength should not be underestimated.

The ball speed, hitting power, and ability to change line are all at top level.

As a future wholesaler, Ma Taki thinks highly of Felix.

Before the match between Chen Jin and Felix, Ma Taki had also secretly predicted it.

Even if Chen Jin could win, the fight between the two would be very tense.

But unexpectedly, Chen Jin could win so easily.

Firstly, as they both use a straight-blade, Chen Jin is very familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the straight-blade style.

Secondly, whether in terms of speed or strength, Chen Jin is better than Felix.

the most important is.

Chen Jin has an ability to read the game, is extremely quick to respond and is extremely talented.

After watching the game, a fire was ignited deep in Ma Taki’s heart.

The old general never dies, and the sword is still sharp!
The fire that Ma Taki wanted to conquer the arena was always burning and never extinguished.

Now, seeing Chen Jin, he is like a rising star.

How could Ma Long not want to fight with him?
“This Grand Slam may be my last international tournament.”

Ma Long’s heart was pounding and his blood was boiling, as if he had suddenly turned back into the competitive Anshan pony. “If I can’t compete with Chen Jin in a real competition, it will be a regret of my life.”

“If… I mean if, this is really my farewell match, I would like to fight hard and meet Chen Jin in the finals and have a big fight with him.”

“Whether you win or lose, you can leave in style in the end.”

“Chen Jin, you have to work hard too.”

Ma Long looked at Chen Jin, his eyes flashing with endless expectation.

……

Back to the sidelines.

What greeted Chen Jin was Wang Hao’s amiable smile and doting eyes.

“Well played.”

Wang Hao smiled happily, “Don’t be proud, keep up the good work.”

As the head coach of the Chinese men’s table tennis team, Wang Hao always keeps a clear head.

He knew in his heart that defeating Felix once did not make him the “world’s number one straight line.”

Only by defeating all opponents and reaching the top of the world table tennis arena can one truly be called the world’s number one!

But now, Chen Jin still has a long way to go to achieve this goal.

Chen Jin has never met top players such as Fan Zhendong, Ma Taki, Liang Jingkun, Zhang Benzhihe and Hugo.

It was just a mediocre victory, nothing special, just a little sprinkle of water, no problem… although Wang Hao could hardly suppress the corners of his mouth.

Victory in one game really doesn’t mean anything.

The key point is that in this game, the talent and strength displayed by Chen Jin made Wang Hao overjoyed.

“come on.”

Wang Hao smiled and said, “When you make it to the semi-finals, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“We made it to the semi-finals?”

Chen Jin packed his backpack, “Why not the champion?”

“…”

Wang Hao couldn’t help choking, and patted Chen Jin on the back with a smile, “Good boy, you are quite ambitious.”

“This major is full of top players, especially in the top half.”

“It’s not easy to win the championship.”

Top half.

Except Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong and Felix.

There are also world-class players such as Tomokazu Harimoto, Moregaard, Lin Yun-ju and Duda.

more importantly.

These masters are almost all in the same division as Chen Jin.

Just happened to avoid Wang Chuqin perfectly.

Presumably, this was God’s training and tempering for the newcomer Chen Jin.

“Of course, it’s not impossible.”

Wang Hao changed the subject and said, “If you really make it to the finals, regardless of whether you win the championship or not, I will buy you a drink.”

The kind that just drinks and doesn’t talk?

“Coach Wang.”

Chen Jin reminded him, “I’m fifteen, and I’ll be sixteen in a few months.”

Hearing this, Wang Hao was slightly stunned.

Do you look fifteen?

“It’s ok.”

Wang Hao waved his hand and smiled generously, “I’ll treat you to orange juice.”

Talking and laughing.

Chen Jin slung his backpack over his shoulder, and together with Wang Hao, he waved to the audience and slowly left.

Just walked out of the arena.

From a distance, one could see a large group of reporters who had been waiting for a long time, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

“Are you waiting for me to be interviewed?”

Chen Jin was startled.

“If I’m not waiting for you, then I’m waiting for me.”

Wang Hao smiled and said, “Go ahead, be brave, this is also one of the required courses for top players.”

immediately.

Under the guidance of a staff member.

Chen Jin walked quickly towards the interview area.

“Chen Jin is here!”

A large group of reporters swarmed over.

The microphone was almost in Chen Jin’s mouth.

“Chen Jin, as a newcomer, how do you feel about being able to defeat Felix Lebrun, who is ranked sixth in the world?”

“Although you have just started the competition, I have checked your record during this period and you have never lost a game. Do you have any secret?”

“As a straight blade player, what is your wish?”

There are all kinds of problems.

Chen Jin picked up two or three of the loudest ones and answered them one by one.

Then, leave the interview area.

“Whoo~”

Chen Jin let out a long breath.

The tension and pressure during the interview are even more exaggerated on the field.

Return to the lounge.

half past twelve.

In addition to Wang Hao, Li Qian and Xie Mingyang were also present.

Wait until Chen Jin takes a shower and changes his clothes.

The four of them went to the cafeteria together.

During the meal, Wang Hao finished his meal very quickly.

While wiping his mouth, he glanced at his phone and said, “Harimoto has made it to the top 32.”

“Ah.”

Chen Jin nodded.

Although Wang Hao’s words were incoherent, he still understood them.

The half of the zone where he is located is full of experts.

Felix, Tomokazu Harimoto, Moregard…these are all top players who shined in the Paris Olympics.

Apart from Felix who was just defeated by Chen Jin, the strength of the remaining two people should not be underestimated.

Zhang Benzhihe and Fan Zhendong fought at full strength in the Olympics, and Zhang Benzhihe almost defeated Fan Zhendong.

Fortunately, Fan Zhendong withstood the pressure.

However, after this battle, Zhang Benzhihe must have made significant improvements in both strength and mentality.

Although Zhang Benzhihe was eliminated early in the Macau Championship, one success or failure is not enough to judge a hero.

Tomokazu Harimoto has always been the Chinese national table tennis team’s number one enemy.

In this competition, he is in the same half as Chen Jin, and there is a high possibility that the two will meet.

For Chen Jin, this is another big test.

As for Moregard, he was the vice-champion of the Paris Olympics.

The touch-flow playing style, like Zhang Jiahao’s, can often produce some superb and unexpected god-level shots.

And Wang Chuqin’s shame of being ranked among the top 32 was also caused by Moregard.

No matter which one Chen Jin meets, he must be prepared to give it his all.

Chen Jin was very clear about this.

Not only was there no fear, but it was full of anticipation.

From the moment he embarked on his professional career, winning the championship has been his eternal goal.

If you can’t even get past these world-class players, how can you talk about winning the championship!
Only by defeating them one by one can he become the new king of table tennis.

“There’s no game tomorrow, so you can have a good rest today.”

Wang Hao patted Chen Jin on the shoulder and said, “I will take some promotional photos for you this afternoon. Please prepare yourself.”

“Also, I’ll practice signing autographs when I have time, and there may be a fan meet-and-greet later.”

Wang Hao stood up and said, “Take your time to eat. Lin Shidong’s competition is about to start. I have to go to the scene to see it.”

That’s all.

He hurried away with the food tray.

Looking at Wang Hao’s busy back, Li Qian couldn’t help but sigh: “Being a head coach is really not easy. It’s too stressful.”

“Coach Li, don’t you want to try being a head coach?”

Chen Jin smiled and said, “A coach who doesn’t want to be a head coach is not a good coach.”

“Me? Even if I want to, I don’t have the qualifications.”

Li Qian shrugged slightly, “I’ll be satisfied if I can join the first team and get a better organization.”

“Of course, it’s also nice to have the title of a champion coach.”

Li Qian smiled and said, “Good luck to you two, especially Xie Mingyang.”

“Ok?”

Xie Mingyang frowned slightly, “What does it have to do with me?”

“Chen Jin now has Coach Wang, and no matter what I say, I am still your temporary coach.”

Li Qian smiled and said, “If you can get a good result in this competition, my position as the coach of the first team will be secure.”

“How good a grade does it need to be?”

Xie Mingyang asked, “Champion?”

“Need not.”

Li Qian smiled and said, “Top 16 will do.”

“Is the request so low?”

Xie Mingyang frowned.

“Low requirements?”

Li Qian asked seriously, “Do you know who you will be tomorrow?”

“Zhang Yuzhen, ranked 14th in the world, the top player of the Korean men’s table tennis team.”

Xie Mingyang didn’t care at all: “So what?”

“Just beat him up.”

The tone was calm, yet it contained a hint of ruthlessness.

“it is good.”

Li Qian slammed the table and said, “Just because of what you said, let’s celebrate together if we win tomorrow, and bear the consequences together if we lose.”

……

After dinner.

Back to the hotel.

As soon as the mobile phone is connected to the Internet, all kinds of messages come in like a bombardment.

Chen Jin patiently replied one by one.

As expected, at three o’clock in the afternoon, I received a notice and went to the training hall.

Together with Ma Long, Wang Chuqin and others, I took promotional photos for this competition.

For future fan meetings.

In this way, after more than an hour of hard work, everything was finally done.

At night.

seven thirty.

Because there is no training arrangement.

Chen Jin, Xie Mingyang and Li Qian went to the stadium together to watch the game.

Wang Chuqin versus Shinozuka Daito.

As a professional athlete, Chen Jin has no prejudice against Wang Chuqin.

Even, he recognized Wang Chuqin’s strength.

Just like what Chen Jin said to Li Qian and Xie Mingyang on the way here: “I personally absolutely believe in the strength of the world’s number one, I am very confident.”

There is no doubt that this game has also received great attention.

The game hasn’t started yet.

It has already rushed to the top of the hot search list.

For a while.

Fans, haters, and those who wanted to have fun all came out together again to have a carnival in the square.

“Come on, Wang Chuqin. You are the most handsome player in the world.”

“Wang Chuqin, play happily, finish the game healthy, don’t have any burden, go ahead.”

“A newcomer won a few games, and someone dared to use it to sue my boss… Let’s wait until the newcomer can make it to the semi-finals.”

“Come on, Wang Chuqin, take revenge on a certain newcomer! Let the newcomer see the value of being number one in the world!”

“The Grand Slam championship will definitely belong to Big Head!”

……

“Big Head Teacher won’t break his own record this time and fall in the top 64, right? Hahahaha…”

“Look at the dice draw. This opponent… 191 is going to send the prince to the finals again?”

“Teacher Chu Qin, you can’t really be unable to beat even a little life, right? No way?”

“I traveled back from December 2024, 12. Please believe me, Teacher Chu Qin will be defeated in the top 1 again this time.”

“Friends, the no-prize guessing contest begins. Big head scores the goal. Guess a two-part allegorical saying.”

……

Although there was a chaos and quarrel online.

But at the scene, almost all the support and cheering were directed at Wang Chuqin.

As expected of a star player, his popularity is extremely high.

Looking around, Li Qian frowned slightly. “It’s normal for contestants like Zhang Jike, Ma Long and Fan Zhendong, who are both talented and good-looking, to have many fans.”

“What I don’t understand is, why does a guy who has zero results in the three major competitions have so many fans?”

Not only Li Qian.

Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang couldn’t figure it out either.

Of course, the two are relatively introverted.

Li Qian’s words were like Voldemort’s name, which they could never say out loud.

The fighting power of the Death Eaters is not something that Muggles can withstand.

“Master Li, keep your voice down.”

Chen Jin whispered, “We still have games to play later. You can’t let us be carried out later.”

“Don’t worry, they can’t hear you.”

Li Qian smiled.

“Your opponent in the quarter-finals hasn’t come out yet?”

Xie Mingyang crossed his arms across his chest with a cold expression.

“not yet.”

Chen Jin shook his head.

“I took a look and found that your next two opponents, no matter who advances, are not very strong.”

Xie Mingyang said.

“Seems to be.”

Chen Jin looked at Xie Mingyang, “Your match tomorrow is going to be a tough one, and you still have time to care about me?”

“Tomorrow, we will win.”

Xie Mingyang said in a deep voice, “I want to fight with you, so I can’t lose.”

The voice just fell.

Sudden.

The cheers at the scene were like a tsunami.

But Wang Chuqin and Shinozuka Daito had already appeared.

As a new generation player of the Neon team, Daito Shinozuka’s record is not outstanding.

The world ranking is outside the top 30, which is not very high.

Even after Matsushima Terusora.

Compared with Tomokazu Harimoto and Hayasuke Togami, he is far inferior.

Just as Chen Jin said.

The reason why Wang Chuqin can become the world’s number one is that he has the strength.

What’s more, since the successive defeats in the Olympic singles and the Macau Championships, Wang Chuqin needs the championship of this Grand Slam to prove to everyone who is the real king of WTT!

Therefore, when he first appeared, he was decisive and killed people, almost crushing Shinozuka Daito.

Just twenty minutes.

11: 6.

11: 3.

11: 6.

Wang Chuqin swept Shinozuka Daito and successfully advanced to the next round.

The scene was of course boiling with excitement.

Online, it is a carnival for fans.

“Congratulations to Mr. Chu Qin for advancing to the top 32. Keep up the good work.”

“Twenty minutes, the speed of light, the get off work is over, the big head is awesome.”

“Where’s Heizi? Come out and apologize right now.”

“Use your strength to slap the haters in the face, Big Head, you are the best.”

“Big Head Teacher, please do your best in the next game and break the doubts.”

“Come on, Wang Chuqin, teach the newbies how to behave… Sorry, I almost forgot that in this competition, a certain newbie might not even be able to touch my big head.”
