The top table tennis team

Chapter 223 Data Leakage

In the next few days, Xing Linghui and Bu Xianjing advanced easily. In the quarter-finals, Xing Linghui met Japanese player Akane Fukamizu, and Xing Linghui had a hard time in this match.

It seemed as if the opponent had known her weaknesses in advance, and each of her serves was accurately calculated by her opponent. The match was a seven-game series, and Xing Linghui and the Japanese player had already tied 3:3.

Chu Shaoqin and Ying Sha were the off-court coaches for this match. "Should we give her a medical timeout?" Ying Sha looked at Xing Linghui, who was sweating profusely, and felt very worried.

The opponent's ball path seemed to be specifically designed to counter China's table tennis style. If it weren't for their strong basic skills, they would have been defeated long ago.

"Yeah," Chu Shaoqin stood outside the coaching desk, watching Akane Fukamizu's playing style intently. His worries still emerged. The Japanese team really obtained the information of country Z's table tennis team.

Xing Linghui, who was called for a medical timeout, felt as if she had been pardoned. "It's as if the coaches knew how we played in advance. They had calculated everything in advance, both in terms of offense and defense."

Normally, training is done within the team, so it is impossible for competitors to obtain accurate information. Xing Linghui knew it was impossible so she just said it casually.

Her unintentional words caused a stir in Ying Sha's heart, but she couldn't show it on her face at this moment. She still smiled and comforted her, "You played very well just now. Stay firm in your strategy and believe in yourself."

Affecting the morale of the team before the game is a taboo in table tennis, and she cannot add any more psychological burden to her.

"Yes, I know, coach. I can do it," the young and naive girl turned around and said to Yingsha and Chu Shaoqin with a smile. With the last sound of the timer, the last life-and-death game was about to begin.

The score of the game was still very close. Shen Shuiqian turned to attack Xing Linghui's old injury, which caused her a lot of trouble. However, in the middle of the game, Xing Linghui suddenly changed her strategy.

In the two service games, both points were scored directly. The match finally came to 10:8. Fukamizu Akane eliminated the previous attack and served a middle ball first. Surprisingly, Xing Linghui calculated this ball and hit it back directly.

Shen Shuiqian was a little out of position at this time. When she aimed at the ball, she defended and hit the ball back. Xing Linghui seized the opportunity and launched a strong attack directly. 11:8, Xing Linghui successfully advanced.

As the referee made the announcement, Akane Fukamizu looked at her hands in disbelief. She had all the information, so why couldn't she beat her?

He was so arrogant during the interview at the beginning of the year, but now he had to stand up again and congratulate his opponent on his successful promotion.

When the two shook hands, Fukasaki Akane said in Xing Linghui's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I never thought that even though I knew all your weaknesses, I still couldn't defeat you."

After saying that, he smiled calmly at Xing Linghui, picked up his racket and walked off the court.

Xing Linghui looked at her figure and felt deeply incredulous about Shen Shuiqian's words. From her tone just now, it seemed that she already knew the arrangements within Team Z.

She shook hands with the coach, referee and others one by one. After leaving the court, she communicated her doubts with Ying Sha and Chu Shaoqin.

Chu Shaoqin and Ying Sha looked at each other, and then looked at Xing Linghui.

The next match was Bu Xianjing's, and her opponent was the North Korean team. There was relatively little information available on the North Korean team, but she still relied on her many years of competition experience to easily advance with a score of 4:2.

The competition seems to have entered a fierce stage. Tomorrow will be a showdown between two Chinese players. According to their previous performance and world rankings, Bu Xianjing has a 6% chance of winning, while Xing Linghui only has a 4% chance.

At this moment in the training ground, Xing Linghui thought of what Chu Shaoqin and Ying Sha said to her. In addition to shock and confusion, she was also determined to win tomorrow.

"Linghui, you work so hard that I'm afraid of tomorrow." The training hall was quiet at this time, and everyone had gone back to rest. This sudden voice rang out in the gym, and you knew who it was without turning around.

"Tomorrow will come sooner or later, and I will fight for the honor of my country, Sister Bu, and I believe you will too," Xing Linghui smiled at her after she finished her last swing against the wall.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Bu Xianjing feels that Xing Linghui is different today than before. “Well, of course I am the same.”

"It is my honor to compete as an athlete."

"I hope Sister Bu will remember what you said today, and I will not show mercy tomorrow," Xing Linghui picked up her racket, wiped the sweat off it, walked to the storage basket to pack her things, and walked out of the gym without looking back.

Bu Xianjing stared at her back for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

The next morning arrived quickly. Their match was at ten o'clock in the morning. Bi Xiaoxuan and Xing Linghui were in one room, and Bu Xianjing was on the other side. She was playing as a mixed doubles player.

The mixed doubles match was one day later than theirs. These two people were her good friends in the team, and at the moment she didn't know who she hoped would win.

When I woke up in the morning, I grabbed my sleepy hair and said after a long while, "Fight well and take care of your health."

Xing Linghui, who had been nervous, broke down instantly when she heard these words, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "I really want to go back to the past, the days when I was carefree and focused on playing basketball."

After saying this, he glanced at Bi Xiaoxuan who was still in a daze, then walked out of the room with his belongings.

It is now 7 o'clock in the morning. We walked into the Chinese restaurant Lanting next door and ordered a Chinese meal. Some of the other people in the team adapted quickly and ate Western food with relish, but it was difficult for her stomach to enter.

Her back suddenly felt numb, so she turned her head and looked back quickly, but there was nothing on her back. She then relaxed and continued eating, wondering if this was an illusion.

Ever since I went out this morning, I always felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at me from behind. It was like a prey being stared at by a poisonous snake, looking around but nothing happened.

I comforted myself by thinking that I must be too nervous. After finishing my lunch, I asked the waiter for a glass of warm water as usual.

The service at Lanting restaurant is particularly attentive. Every waiter has a faint smile on his face. When the waiters receive the guests' requests, they quickly go to the back to prepare warm water.

"Strange, why hasn't the water arrived yet?" The food was served quickly, but a cup of warm water was served so slowly. Just as she was wondering, the waiter came over with a smile.

"Sorry, miss, the warm water was spilled halfway through, I'll get you another cup." Foreign waiters all look the same, a standard handsome guy.

"It's okay, thank you." Xing Linghui responded to the other party in English very friendly after hearing his poor Chinese.

Seeing Xing Linghui drink the glass of warm water without any doubt, the waiter smiled and turned to leave. Everything they did was seen by the person standing in the dark.

He dealt with the case in his hands and reported everything he saw to his superiors.
