Ping Pong

This show is the selected drama by NRTA

in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the PRC,

and was funded under the 2019 Art Creation of Hubei.

Episode 11

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Why are you against knowing more friends?

What's the use of having friends?

Friends

can help you when

you're in a slump.

Jia Yu

was my first friend in the national team.

Then?

Do you know what he did to me?

What are you doing?

Ke Nan.

Leave me alone.

Ke Nan.

For the competition tomorrow,

just do whatever is right.

We are all the national team.

The glory of national team is above everything else.

Even if

I quit tomorrow,

we are still

best friends.

We are still buddies.

I'll buy you a drink.

Buy you a drink.

Buddy,

we shall keep drinking.

Drink up!

Oh no!

You must have enough strength for loop drive.

It's over?

You must raise from the bottom part.

Strength of your leg must lean forward.

Mr. Tang!

The game is over.

Just one!

I need one more game to get into the first team!

If you treasure this chance,

you shouldn't absent without reason.

Can you please give me another chance?

Wait for the next game.

This is unfair.

You're the one who came late.

You're the one who gave up this competition.

How dare you expect others to put up with you?

Is that fair for your opponent?

Jia Yu, what say you?

Jia Yu.

I know

you're close with Yu Ke Nan.

However, rule is everything in a competition.

All of you are athletes in the national team.

Don't you understand this principle?

Mr. Tang, regarding this issue,

it's not totally Yu Ke Nan's fault.

I'm responsible too.

Last night, Ke Nan said

he wanted to drink as he's stressed.

I didn't stop him.

So you indulged in drinking that you missed the game?

You made two huge mistakes.

Yu Ke Nan, what else you want to say?

Jia Yu, what are you saying?

Ke Nan, I don't want to lie.

Didn't you say

a game is a game?

I think you're right.

You purposely did that.

Ke Nan, we've come this far,

why don't you just admit your mistake?

If you don't admit...

What are you doing?

Hit him!

Stop him.

What are you doing?

Come here right now!

This is ridiculous.

Yu Ke Nan!

Are you alright?

So, I hit him.

Xu Tan.

If it was you,

what would you do?

Others thought that I hit him

because I missed the game and

couldn't get into the first team.

But, that's not the most important thing.

I'll definitely get into the first team sooner or later.

Regarding this issue,

why don't you say it out?

Jia Yu isn't someone talented.

If I reveal this issue,

there's nothing I can change.

Instead of dragging him along,

I would rather go on by myself.

I could get back anyway.

But, if you don't say it out,

everyone will misunderstand you.

Nevermind, I don't care.

What about people who care about you?

What does this have to do with you?

I see you as a friend.

The same words

were said by Jia Yu too.

Chop shot.

Such a low quality.

I'll pick you then.

Qin Zhen represents the China team,

came up against Zheng Ren He from Korea

in the men's singles final.

They are representatives of the old and new generation players

who are excellent in both attack and defence.

Qin Zhen's forehand attack

is almost perfect.

It isn't anything like chop shot.

His skill is way better than

many other attackers.

It's true that old is gold.

Qin Zhen.

Mr. Qin!

I watched your game with Zheng Ren He.

Your move is awesome!

Mr. Qin!

Anything?

I want to be your master.

No,

I want you to be my master.

You're a chopper, I'm also a chopper.

We're the perfect match.

Is there anything wrong with your brain?

Look for Mr. Lei if you have a problem.

Why do you look unhappy?

I...

Dad, we're choosing the stream.

Parents' signature is needed.

Girl,

you're changing

too swiftly

that I can't follow up.

You're going to the Science stream?

I like Science stream now.

Interest is the best teacher.

Am I right, Xu Tan?

Interest...

Are you sure?

If you lag behind after choosing Science stream,

you will be in big trouble.

True.

You're on whose side?

Interest is the best teacher.

It does make sense though.

Xu Tan got into table tennis because of interest too.

After he completes tasks given by the coach,

he even does extra training.

Do you have this kind of mindset?

Sure, I'll learn from Xu Tan.

Learning isn't something you say for fun,

you must take action.

Thank you, dad.

Let's continue with your issue.

It's true that

I secretly trained with Liu Shi previously.

Not bad.

You aren't angry?

Why would I feel angry as you're improving?

Xu Tan.

You won against Liu Shi.

It surely proves your capability and ability.

I never doubt

your future and capability.

But our target is

to get into the first team.

After we enter the first team,

we shall set higher target, right?

In order to achieve all of our targets,

there is one important thing.

It's the

complete confidence

between the two of us.

What do you think?

Ke Nan.

Nice shot!

Ke Nan, let me play with you for a while.

You all keep playing, I'll leave first.

You looked so happy,

why are you leaving once you see me?

I am tired.

Hi, Yu.

Yes, I'm with him now.

Is World Junior Championship Preliminaries over?

It's over.

What is Yu Ke Nan's rank?

Second.

Does he get in?

No.

Only the first got accepted.

What's wrong?

Why didn't he get the first?

He lost the match paddle.

I want to talk with him over the phone.

Sure, say a few words to him then.

Mind your attitude.

Come here,

talk to your dad.

I didn't play well,

is that enough?

You heard him?

He admitted his mistake.

He's just giving excuses.

He couldn't even handle such trivial matter.

How does he play in international competition?

Ask him

if he was competing

or his match paddle was competing?

Your dad asked

if you were competing or your match paddle was competing?

My match paddle was competing.

That's it.

Don't you worry.

There many chances in the future.

As long as he learns the lesson,

that's the most important thing.

Alright,

I'll call you again.

Two weeks later

The training period of training partner team is coming to an end.

The national team will reimburse your travel expenses.

Based on your contribution,

bonus for training partner will be given as well.

We truly appreciate

your contribution to the national team.

After returning to your respective provinces,

I hope you can still

unleash your talent.

Today is the final of World Junior Championship.

Fu Jing Chun from the second team

is competing soon.

Everybody can rest for half-day

to watch the game together.

Dismissed!

Yu Ke Nan.

Yu Ke Nan!

Let me tell you,

Xu Tan is being arrogant

by not telling me how to deal with chop shot.

Do you have any good idea?

Just play by your feelings.

Don't care about others.

No, you did lose the game.

We lost...

Do you know that I lost my match paddle?

I...

I know about it!

Why do you keep saying it?

Don't tell me it's Liu Shi?

Who?

It's so light.

China Central Television.

Dear audience,

you are now watching

World Junior Table Tennis Championships.

This was first started in year 2003...

I guess

Mr. Zheng looks different

when he appears in television.

He represents the country.

Liu Shi.

Come out.

We strongly believe this competition

will become the touchstone of strength

of national table tennis in the future.

You took my match paddle?

I didn't.

Someone said you took it.

Your match paddle...

I did come across many match paddles.

Hurricane King!

That one? I got it.

I've never seen such a good match paddle.

The rubber's elasticity is especially good.

So, you took it?

No, that's stealing!

I, Liu Shi won't do this.

Yu Ke Nan.

I realised there's something wrong with your brain.

Why would you think

Liu Shi took it?

Am I talking to you?

I am talking to you.

Who do you think you are?

Let me say something.

It can't be someone from the second team.

Then why do you suspect us

when you lost your thing?

Our own people

won't steal our things,

right?

I swear that I didn't take it.

I think it all depends on

the proof.

Xu Tan,

which team do you side?

What's wrong with you?

Shut up!

Let me ask you again,

did you take it?

Why are you so harsh?

Come against me if you're a man.

That's right.

Everyone knows about your stuffs anyway.

My stuffs?

Listen!

Listen, I'm leaving anyway,

I don't mind!

If you do it again,

I'm not sure if you can return.

Hit him!

Come on!

Stop! The trophy!

What are you all doing?

I let you watch the game,

why is everyone outside?

What is happening?

Yu Ke Nan did it.

Did you see it?

Come on.

Who else saw it?

Who?

I'll give you the last chance.

Coach, I touched it.

It's not Xu Tan.

Sir, I can prove it.

That's right, it can't be Xu Tan.

The two of you shut up.

Coach.

It's really me.

Xu Tan and Yu Ke Nan,

stay here.

Everyone else go and watch the game.

All of you came here

as a whole.

You're going to represent the country

and compete with foreigners in the future.

Why?

You didn't learn about the real skills,

but you fight against each other?

Yu Ke Nan.

You got a chance to return to the national team.

Is that an easy thing?

Why don't you appreciate it?

How did all this happen?

Tell me.

Make sure to tell the truth.

Actually I came...

Just now we bickered while coming out,

thus accident happened.

I'm sorry, coach.

Both of you are bearing the responsibility together, right?

Sure.

Go back and write a report of self-reflection.

Regarding the decision,

I'll tell you after discussion

with the coaching team.

Assembly!

Soon,

it will be Asian Cup Table Tennis Tournament.

For this opportunity,

all of you have prepared for a long time.

It's the critical moment now,

you must not slack off.

Men's single performed well in the World Junior Championship.

We can't lose to them.

The coaching team has done

targeted research for this competition.

Some players aren't bad.

They are mainly from South Korea and Japan.

Backhand rally and backhand attack

are their main strengths.

They might be your opponents in future.

In our upcoming trainings,

we must enhance our technique to deal with backhand skills.

Do you understand?

Understood!

In the previous Asian Cup,

women performed as good as men

and got good results.

How did we get the results?

All of you should know that.

Don't get obsessed with the past results.

Don't be arrogant nor fretful, you must continue to work hard.

Dismissed!

You two are here today

to discuss about

Xu Tan and Yu Ke Nan breaking the trophy.

This issue has bad influence.

We need to hurry and make decision.

If so,

let me say a few words.

Everyone makes mistakes.

But regarding this issue,

I can guarantee that it's not their intention.

Its nature

is just an accident.

I think,

they are players of the national team,

since the first day they joined,

they should know

what is right and what is wrong.

In the future,

they are representing our nation's pride.

If you keep pampering them,

it's bad for their future growth.

I don't mean to cover them up.

Yu Ke Nan,

you all get to see him every day.

I don't refute anything else,

but if you say he purposely caused trouble,

that is impossible.

Every day,

all in his mind is about training.

He's actually unaware of everything else.

Today,

we are just

discussing the issue objectively.

Since the two of them

caused the trophy to be broken.

I think they should

take responsibility accordingly.

Mr. Teng, you intend to cover them up,

I don't think it's good?

Mr. Zheng is right.

There are rules in the team.

No matter whatever reasons

the two of them

broke the trophy,

they should be punished.

Come in.

You're in a meeting.

I shouldn't disturb then.

No, come and take a seat.

We're discussing the issue of

these two players breaking the rules.

You shall give your opinion too.

I don't want to get involved in the men's team.

I come to ask Mr. Zheng

if there's any player with outstanding skills

from the second team?

I would like to have someone to become

training partner for women's team.

Sure.

Quite a few.

But as you mentioned outstanding,

the first choice would be Mr. Zheng's disciple.

The champion of World Junior Championship, Fu Jing Chun.

Fu Jing Chun is definitely not bad.

However,

he is preparing for

international competition lately.

His training schedule is full.

I don't really recommend him to be training partner for the women's team.

There are many players with excellent skills

in the second team,

Mr. Wang,

why don't you consider other player?

Mr. Zheng,

you sound so petty.

Both men's and women's team

are supposed to be the same as long as

they win honour for the country.

I...

What about...

Mr. Fu,

what do you think?

Fu Jing Chun is the seeded player of second team.

His training is usually heavy.

It's not that suitable for him to become a training partner.

Alright.

Then I shall put up with the second best.

It doesn't matter whether he's a seeded player

as long as his skill is good.

Right,

there's actually another candidate.

Mr. Teng.

No,

don't look at me,

no way.

Put aside Yu Ke Nan's punishment issue,

but the training partner

has to be someone who is matured.

Look at Yu Ke Nan's personality.

If you put him in the women's team,

you would rather just kick him out from the national team.

Mr. Teng, he's your disciple.

Aren't we discussing about his punishment?

How's his results?

It's

not as good as Mr. Zheng's disciple but

he got second in World Junior Championship.

What is he good at?

Backhand.

Great!

I lack someone good at backhand.

Mr. Wang.

I am not kidding.

You haven't seen him in person.

If you spend a day with him,

you will surely kick him away.

Mr. Zheng...

Mr. Zheng gave an accurate evaluation just now.

No.

The punishment and

results are totally different.

Judging from Yu Ke Nan's skills,

I really think he is good enough.

That's it then.

Mr. Fu asked

for my opinion just now.

Just send him to

women's team as training partner.

I heard that he is arrogant

and ambitious.

Just send him to me,

I'll educate him.

Mr. Fu, this punishment for Yu Ke Nan

is too harsh.

Mr. Teng, is this even harsh?

Mr. Zheng, what say you?

I have no opinion.

Just follow Mr. Fu.

I think it's fine

as long as there's no objection.

You can settle this with Mr. Teng then.

Sure, you all keep discussing.

I'll settle things with Li.

Mr. Wang, let me say a word.

Do you still need training partner?

I have a player who is quite good.

He is also good at backhand?

Forehand.

Does he have any skill?

Besides forehand,

other skills should be fine too.

Mr. Lei.

In my opinion,

I think Xu Tan

is yet to meet Mr. Wang's requirement.

Yes, the women's team

only needs one training partner as planned.

If there's any new plan later,

Mr. Lei, I'll inform you first.

Alright, thank you.

You all shall continue.

Mr. Fu, I shall handle the procedures with Li.

Mr. Wang, why don't you consider it again?

That's it, you all shall continue.

Mr. Wang.

Mr. Fu.

Since I joined the national coaching team,

I rarely talk about all the problems

I encountered during work.

As all for one and one for all.

But, aren't some colleagues

are just too much?

Sit down and talk slowly.

Mr. Fu.

I've guided Xu Tan for many years.

I understand him very much.

This issue is an enigma.

Could you please give me some time?

Let me find out

the real reason behind this.

Mr. Lei.

Had you been wronged before?

Xu Tan isn't someone who will initiate trouble.

But he took initiative to admit it.

Do you want to know

why would he bear this responsibility?

If he didn't stand up,

the national team will lose Yu Ke Nan.

Did you really not realise

Teng was acting out for Wang?

Zheng just unknowingly got involved too.

Teng does have many tricks.

You and Teng are not wrong after all.

Zheng is not wrong too.

But, Teng could come out with idea

that convinced people,

while punishing Yu Ke Nan.

This issue is then settled.

Xu Tan the bad boy.

I didn't know he would have

such unrealistic idea.

Xu Tan should go through some tests.

If he can't even accept this punishment,

he can't go far either.

What is in your mind?

Let him leave the training center for a period.

Look carefully and sign it.

Becoming a training partner in the women's team? I don't want.

Do you think you can still bargain?

I don't want to go no matter what!

What about this?

Exchange with Xu Tan then.

Go.

Where is Xu Tan going?

Storehouse.

He's helping out to carry things.

What about his training then?

Can he still play table tennis?

Is it a punishment if he can still play?

You should be contented.

Regardless of men's or women's team,

you can still touch table tennis.

What about Xu Tan?

Xu Tan has got into bad luck because of you.

Even Mr. Lei is affected.

I didn't ask him to be the scapegoat.

He was the one who wanted to help.

Why am I getting blamed for this?

You must know very well

if you should be blamed for this.

Sign it.

I'll get going.

Master.

I am sorry.

It's already over.

Don't think too much.

You're not young anymore.

In the future, what you should do

and what you shouldn't do,

you must know by yourself.

Mr. Fu has a good intention by doing this as well.

Thus,

no matter where he sends you,

you must be serious.

Even if you can't play table tennis for a period,

try your best to find time for practice.

Do you understand?

Did Mr. Fu mention

when can I return to the team?

Perform well

to shorten the time.

Sir.

I'm looking for Mr. He.

Sir, I'm looking for Mr. He.

Why are you shouting?

I'm not deaf.

There's no Mr. He here.

Mr. Fu asked me to be here.

Fu Chuan Zhi?

That old man is still alive.

This is an old storehouse.

You shall organise the place.

How to organise all this?

Throw away those broken things.

Keep those old stuffs here.

Which is broken and which is old?

Those broken are useless things.

Old stuffs can be fixed

and used again.

Do you want to organise those broken or old?

I...

I want to

organise new stuffs.

Nonsense.

Hurry and get started.

I'll check on you later.

How do I carry this?

Use your hands.

Oh no.

They're quite well-arranged.

That's not right.

Old stuffs!

Old stuffs?

There isn't even seat here,

how painful to train with this?

How could this be old stuff?

It's useless.

Those...

It's not you who decide whether it's broken or old.

I'll make the decision.

Carry them back.

Sure, let me rest for a while.

Carry now.

Ping Pong Little Drama

Match paddle and training paddle.

Match Paddle And Training Paddle

In this episode,

Yu Ke Nan lost his match paddle.

So he had to use training paddle.

Match paddle is

the paddle used by players most of the time.

Training paddle is also known as spare paddle.

It serves as alternative paddle.

Like the old saying,

a handy tool

makes a handy man.

Professional athletes in all sports events

need suitable equipment

or clothing to assist them

in order to highlight their skills.

For a professional athlete,

generally,

match paddle and training paddle

are of the same model

Same Model And Design

and design.

However, the number of usage is different.

The main purpose of training paddle

is to cope with unexpected situations during competition.

If the match paddle can't pass

the evaluation during competition,

The Match Paddle Can't Pass The Evaluation

or it's accidentally broken,

Accidentally Broken

or the rubber gets detached,

The Rubber Gets Detached

the training paddle will be handy.
