Chapter Ping-Pong Diplomacy(1/2)

Table tennis is a full-scale event, with small start-up funds, simple equipment, few venue requirements, suitable for all ages and young people. It is more popular in China than football in Brazil and has a higher level.

In all world competitions, the championship of table tennis has even surpassed the big gold-winning players such as weightlifting, swimming, diving, diving, shooting, and gymnastics.

Many retired Chinese table tennis players can represent their country's national teams in competitions and re-compete for the world championship after going abroad. In many cases, half of the teams of various countries are Chinese in such major competitions as the World War Olympics.

Moreover, these Chinese athletes who retired and put on their shirts back in their battles, they can play national championships and intercontinental champions, just like taking advantage of their skills. There was once a table tennis player in Xichuan Province who worked as a sparring player in the national team. After going abroad, they easily won the European championship.

Moreover, this person is a cultural person and a native of Linjiang Town.

His name is Chen Tianyun.

Chen Tianyun was later recalled and became the coach of the Xichuan Provincial Table Tennis Team. He is now the director of the Small Ball Management Center of the Xichuan Provincial Sports Committee.

Chen Tianyun has a strong local complex and often returns to culture. He will come back to the platform as long as there are any activities in culture. If there is any cultural support from the province, he will reach out to help and find relationships to clear up. He will also go back to culture for the Spring Festival every year. In recent years, a tradition has been formed. Accompany parents to visit relatives on the first and second grades of the lunar calendar, and meet friends at the third grades of the lunar calendar. Every year, two or three tables are placed in the cultural hotel.

Those who can attend this party are naturally strictly selected. Not only friends from other places come, but also leaders from provinces, cities and counties, and celebrities from all walks of life can be said to be "no contacts".

Chen Tianyun and Yin Xianfa were classmates from elementary school to junior high school. They were next door and had close relationships. After Chen Tianyun was summoned to an amateur sports school, Yin Xianfa did his homework on his behalf, taking the exams on his behalf. Until Chen Tianyun was specially recruited to the art and sports school, and later joined the provincial table tennis team, the relationship between them never ended.

Every time Chen Tianyun comes back, he will ask Yin Xianfa to accompany him, and sometimes he will ask Yin Xianfa to do so. This time, because Xing Yu, secretary of the Jiangcheng Party Committee, attaches importance to it, he arranged to gather in Jiangcheng in the third year of junior high school, and in the afternoon, he will play table tennis in the activity room of the tax room.

Ye Sansheng arrived on time, and Yin Xianfa was waiting for him at the tax bureau gate and took him in.

The activity room is on the left side of the entrance hall on the first floor. I don’t know how it was arranged before, but now it has been changed to a fairly standard table tennis training venue.

Four red double-happy table tennis courts are divided into four standard competition venues with baffles. There are dressing rooms, bathing rooms in one corner, electronic display cards on the wall, standard scoreboards, serving machines, etc.

Someone is playing basketball.

Yin Xianfa took Ye Sansheng to sit down on the chair outside the baffle and said that the two of them were Chen Tianyun and Gu Ling, secretary-general of Jiangcheng Prefecture.

Ye Sansheng saw that Chen Tianyun was thin and short, with his unique spirit of athletes. He didn't take off his trousers and jackets, and he pulled them away casually, and his movements were as beautiful as flowing water. Guling was vest and shorts, running left and right, forward and back, and exerting all his strength, but he was still at a disadvantage.

Yin Xianfa went over and brought a sports bag, saying that this was given to you by Director Chen, a full set of table tennis sports clothes. You have changed it and are ready to go on stage.

Ye Sansheng was both surprised and happy.

Before he came, he had already made preparations. He was wearing casual shoes and could make sports shoes when needed. Anyway, the amount of table tennis is not large and the intensity is not high, so he can support it. He changed the autumn clothes and trousers inside, put on sports clothes, and put on coats and pants outside, thinking that it was foolproof. Who knew that Yin Xianfa had prepared more fully.

Full of gratitude.

Chen Tianyun had never known him, so naturally Yin Xianfa asked him. He didn't know what he could do and what kind of virtue he wanted. He asked Yin Xianfa to make arrangements. Looking at Yin Xianfa's calm and yellow face, he nodded and said yes.

After changing clothes and going to the dressing room, there was already a strong middle-aged man changing clothes inside. When he saw Ye Sansheng, he was a little surprised and asked for a moment, "Young man, are you?"

Ye Sansheng quickly replied, I work in the Linjiang Town Main Mansion, and my name is Ye Sansheng.

The middle-aged man said oh, continued to change his clothes and stopped talking. Ye Sansheng hesitated for a while and asked, "Who are you, leader?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You were brought by Director Yin, right?" My surname is Chen, and I work in the Sports Bureau."

Hello Director Chen. Ye Sansheng said respectfully.

The County Sports Bureau and the Cultural Bureau have long been merged into one. Now they have just merged with the Tourism Bureau, Radio, Film and Television Bureau, and Press and Publication Bureau. The director of the Culture, Radio, Film and Television Bureau of the Cultural County was proudly called himself the "Governor of the Five Army", but the Municipal Sports Bureau is still an independent bureau. Ye Sansheng attended this table tennis party and did some work in advance. He knew that the director of the Sports Bureau was Chen Dongdong, so it should be this bureau.

Chen Dongdong put on his clothes and said, "I'll go out first, you come out quickly, let's have a fight."

By the time Ye Sansheng put on his clothes and went out, Chen Dongdong had already opened it with a bald man.

Ye Sansheng walked back and put his clothes on the chair. Yin Xianfa said, "You are so excited and you will fight Director Yuan later."

Ye Sansheng was stunned. Yin Xianshi sent a text message last night. Director Yuan must be Yuan Fanglai, the director of the Xichuan Provincial Administration of Organization Affairs, and one of the protagonists of today's table tennis party, the so-called "provincial leader".

The Bureau of Government Affairs seems to have basically no relationship with cities and counties. It is a management agency within the provincial * Party Committee and the provincial government. In simple terms, it is to manage the "four teams' food, clothing, housing and transportation", and secondly, it is to serve the "four teams' offices". However, anyone knows that there is nothing small around the leader, especially food, clothing, housing and transportation, plus office, that is the top priority. It is equivalent to the former Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yuan Fanglai can barely be regarded as the general manager of the internal affairs. This is a position that can be contacted at any time, and can almost compete with the secretary-general of the provincial government and the provincial government. For leaders of cities and prefectures in various cities and prefectures, it is a very important channel to the provincial leaders. For ordinary staff like Ye Sansheng, it is definitely an unattainable "provincial leaders".

A while a middle-aged man with a medium figure came in wearing sports trousers and a coat, holding a racket in his left hand and a bag in his right hand. He put the things on the chair and began to sway his arms and kick his legs. Ye Sansheng thought that this person had changed his clothes in the car outside.

Yin Xianfa met him, and the two shook hands and spoke. The middle-aged man looked at Ye Sansheng, waved with a smile and nodded.

Yin first waved, and Ye Sansheng hurried over and introduced that this was Director Yuan of our Provincial Bureau of Organ Affairs. Xiao Ye, you can fight with Director Yuan.

Yuan Fanglai reached out to touch Ye Sansheng and said, "Xiao Ye, let's have a good fight."

His hands are not big, warm and irritable, and his handshake is moderate, unlike some leaders who just stretch out their hands, and shaking hands is like touching hands.

More than ten rackets were prepared in the activity room of the tax bureau. Ye Sansheng chose one, opened the baffle and went in and saw that Yuan Fanglai had a horizontal shot with his left hand.

There are relatively fewer horizontal shots, even fewer left hand, and it is quite rare to use horizontal shots with left hand.

The two practiced the ball for a few minutes and started the official game.

Ye Sansheng is a typical Chinese style of play, with straight attacks and spiking the ball whenever he has the chance. Sometimes, in order to seize the opportunity, his body first leans left, making Yuan Fanglai laugh.

But Ye Sansheng is not weak either. From elementary school to junior high school and high school, there are too few entertainment methods in their small county towns, and almost everyone can play table tennis. Ye Sansheng naturally stands out among teachers and students around the world and has always been a school-level player. He makes accurate judgments and kills fiercely, and he is young and powerful. As long as he hits, Yuan Fanglai can't resist it.

——Yin Xianfa did not remind him, and Ye Sansheng’s understanding was to let go of the fight.

However, most players with horizontal patting have outstanding defensive skills and strong stalemate skills. In addition, Yuan Fanglai is left-handed and the line is weird. Once Ye Sansheng cannot attack or enters the stalemate stage, the final goal is basically Ye Sansheng, and Ye Sansheng's spike success rate is only a little over 60%. So in general, Ye Sansheng's offense seems to be fierce, but the score is always behind.

In the first game, Ye Sansheng lost 8:11.

Yuan Fanglai became interested and said, "Switch the venues, threw his coat on the baffle, and looked at Ye Sansheng.

He mainly serves the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government in the Bureau of Government Affairs. There are now more than ten major leaders in the province, some like swimming, some like tennis, and the most like to play table tennis. There are ten, all of them arrange their opponents based on the personality of the leaders and the skills and style of table tennis. This requires the cooperation of Chen Tianyun. Some leaders like to play with professional players, some leaders need to arrange female players and small ball players, and some leaders need to find suitable opponents among their subordinates, and sometimes he will also go on stage to accompany them in person.

Of course, he will choose defensive counterattack as his main style of play.

This is why he chose to shoot sideways.

No matter what, the leader will not like an opponent who rushes and beats hard and picks up the ball in a few seconds.

But when he played against Ye Sansheng, he was very relaxed. Because Ye Sansheng was doing his best, he had to display all his abilities, including the tricky serve he had been hiding. Every time he saw Ye Sansheng taking the serve or the quality of the return ball was not high, he felt extremely comfortable.

In the second game, Ye Sansheng attached importance to his serve and no longer deliberately attacked. The success rate of spiking increased to 70% or 80%. However, Yuan Fanglai always saw the national player competing on the spot. He had more experience and more comprehensive skills. The two of them had a tight score, and they rose alternately. Even Yin Xianfa, who had always been steady and scored points for them, couldn't help but shout "Come on". The party members who arrived one after another watched while moving their bodies.

Ye Sansheng first grabbed the match point, but Yuan Fanglai sent out a high-quality counter-spin ball. Ye Sansheng returned the ball too high, Yuan Fanglai decisively smashed, Ye Sansheng blocked the ball back, and Yuan Fanglai depressed again.

The score is 10:10.

Then Yuan Fang came to the match point, and Ye Sansheng decisively decisively deducted the score, tied the score for 11.

Then there are twelve square meters.

At this time, everyone who watched the game was attracted. In addition to two tables, the entire activity room was still fighting, and everyone was watching the game with interest.

Thirteen square meters.

14:13.

Yuan Fanglai got the match point again.

This time, Ye Sansheng did not equalize, Yuan Fanglai took advantage of his advantage and pulled the ball into a stalemate. Ye Sansheng did not block the opponent's increasingly powerful spinning ball, and returned the ball out of bounds.

Most people applauded.

"The young man is so terrifying." Yuan Fanglai walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand: "I wanted to play another game, but when I was tired of being beaten, I'll take a rest first."

Generally, they play three games. Yuan Fanglai's expression is real, and it is true that he is panting. It is definitely not afraid of the battle, nor does he think that Ye Sansheng is no longer worth the fight after a 2-0 victory.

"Director Yuan, performed well today."

"Mr. Yuan used to conceal his strength."

Everyone spoke.

Yuan Fang looked at Ye Sansheng and said meaningfully: "Xiao Ye, it's not okay to just rush and beat him hard."

Ye Sansheng was answering the conversation, and Chen Tianyun greeted in the venue next to him: "Xiao Ye, can you still fight? Come and fight with the Secretary-General."

He and Gu Ling had finished playing just now and watched their last few goals.

Ye Sansheng naturally could not refuse, so he smiled at Yuan Fanglai, pulled open the baffle and smiled at Guling, "Hello, Secretary-General."

Gu Ling smiled and said, "Xiao Ye's style of play is very similar to mine."

Ye Sansheng didn't know how to respond, so he had to smile silly.

The two of them practiced the ball and started playing officially.

As expected, Guling, like Ye Sansheng, was also a fierce attacker. In this battle, the two almost couldn't play three rounds. Either you or I would deduct it. In less than ten minutes, the first game was finished in a mess.

Guling was restrained in front of Chen Tianyun, but faced Ye Sansheng with great power.

Ye Sansheng lost 7:11.

Change the venue and then play.

It was less than ten minutes, and it was 7:11 again

In the third game, it's still the same.

After the last ball was deducted by Guling, Ye Sansheng stared blankly at the score that Yin first shot had found outside the court, and seemed to be unbelievable.

Gu Ling walked over and said, "It's a coincidence. If I hadn't watched the game between you and Director Yuan, I would have thought you had let me do it on purpose."

I took a photo of Ye Sansheng and went out of the venue.

Almost all the people attending today's table tennis party are here, four ball tables fighting each other, and there are players waiting to warm up to watch.

Ye Sansheng noticed that basically everyone has their own racket, but the clothes are similar to those of him, and they should be given by Chen Tianyun.

He followed Guling to the chair outside the venue and sat down. Someone came over to hand over the mineral water. Guling took a sip and said, "Xiao Ye, we have seen it, I know you."

Ye Sansheng was stunned and dared not ask.
