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 20

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

You are looking for me?

Mr. Teng.

Yes.

Okay. Let's sit down and talk.

Okay.

Have a seat.

Why are you looking for me?

I just want to ask.

Did Yu Ke Nan contact you?

That brat

is probably thinking about all the ways

to curse me now.

Why would he contact me?

He didn't contact you too?

I...

I'm not being clingy.

I just want to know when he'll be back.

I have something to ask him in person.

Go ahead and ask him then.

Why are you...

Okay. If he contacts me,

I'll convey your message to him.

I'll have to trouble you then, Mr. Teng.

Actually, it'll be better if you can

talk this out with him as soon as possible.

Think before you act.

Don't do the opposite.

Don't just act on a whim.

He told you that he's going to break up with me?

No.

I just want to remind you.

For young people,

it's good to be strict

when it comes to a relationship.

But don't be too serious about it.

When it's time, let it go.

Mr. Wang and I

were discussing about both of you that day.

We are on the same page.

The most important thing now is to

get the best result.

Am I right?

Thank you, Mr. Teng. I'll leave now.

Is it good?

Give it back to me since you are done.

Are you a fool?

I'm still listening to it now.

I'll give it back to you after I'm done.

Let me tell you. The sound quality is not bad at all.

It's quite nice.

Come. Let me listen to it.

Wait.

Let me listen to it first.

This is

a gift from that young lady?

This is not my fault.

Are you looking for a fight?

What are you doing?

What's wrong?

You want to fight?

Fine. Get into the ring then.

When you are standing here,

don't rush to throw your punches.

Ask yourself first.

Why are you throwing the punch?

Keep a stable and regular rhythm.

No matter it's an attack or a defend,

keep your lower body stable.

If someone threatens you again,

punch them back like what I'm doing now.

Stop!

Are you okay?

Did Mr. Fu really ask you

to come here to learn boxing?

He told me that

you are good in ping pong.

But you are not bloodthirsty enough.

Now, you are bloodthirsty.

Xu Tan.

Remember this feeling that you have today.

From now on, no matter

how many times you are defeated in the game,

you have to stand back up again.

Congratulations. You passed.

Let me introduce you again.

Da Zhi, my assistant coach.

I have no choice but to ask him to pick on you.

Because you are not a professional boxer.

If your opponent was someone without control,

you wouldn't be able to last a day here.

Brother Xiang. Come.

Coming!

I've fixed it.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to break it.

Check if it's broken or not.

If it's really broken,

you can beat me up.

Stop.

Wait for a moment.

Backhand banana flip.

Little girl.

Let me show you

what a backhand banana flip is, okay?

Do the serve. Here you go.

What's wrong, uncle?

I'm fine.

Brother Yu said that

this is his secret move.

No one else knows it.

Brother Yu?

I am Brother Yu's coach.

I'm the one who taught him this backhand banana flip.

Brother Yu said that his coach is an evil man.

Let's go now.

Teng Biao. I was wrong.

I shouldn't have fed you.

But look at you.

You are so thick and meaty.

How can you get sick so easily?

You have to

learn from Liu Shi, Fatty

and Chun.

But forget about Xu Tan.

I know you don't like to hear it.

But I'm apologising to you now.

After I'm done building this shed for you,

you'll have a place to sleep.

Rest well under this shade.

Eat more.

My Teng Biao.

You even built a shade for Teng Biao to rest in.

So filial.

Why are you here?

You brat.

Just you wait.

Auntie.

Who is it?

Auntie.

You are...

Let me introduce myself first.

I'm the coach of the national team.

I'm his coach.

Hello.

I brought you some presents.

-Some little gifts. -Well. No...

No need to be shy. Just take them.

Thank you.

Grandmother, he's a bad guy.

How can you say that?

Auntie.

This young man must have brought

so much trouble to you.

Sorry for the trouble.

It's no trouble at all.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Go and bring him a bowl of water.

Thank you.

It's too kind of you to bring me gifts.

I know he must have brought you a lot of troubles.

No trouble at all.

Looks like that young man

is doing very well here.

Good.

Okay. Thank you.

Come, good girl.

This child is afraid of strangers.

All children are like that.

Brother, are you

going to leave soon?

I have to go back to train.

Look at you.

You have to go to school every day, right?

I can't just stay at home every day too.

After I leave,

I'll leave grandmother and the piglet in your care.

Be good.

Study well.

Do your work.

When I come back the next time,

one flower will not be enough.

Stop crying.

You have to keep your promise then.

Never break a pinky promise.

Or else, you'll become a piglet.

Don't cry.

Go and find your grandmother.

You'll look ugly if you don't stop crying.

Look at that little girl.

Even she is better than you, ungrateful brat.

She even picked some wild fruits for me

before I left.

Eat one.

Mr. Teng.

I'll pay for her school fees from now on.

You can really boast.

With your situation now,

how are you going to pay for it?

I'll become the champion.

I'll become the champion of Asia and the whole world.

I'll take care of her.

Good shot.

Let me tell you. With their techniques...

Why are you back already?

You've become more muscular now.

No.

You've become more handsome too.

Look at him.

What are they doing?

Mr. Fu

wants to choose a new doubles' partner for Ye Zhen Xin.

Those who are qualified are competing with him one by one.

If the person is chosen,

for the World Ping-Pong Tournament...

Are you going to compete with him too?

Of course.

Of course we will.

Of course

we have to stand here to watch.

Can you stop talking?

Beautiful!

You are back but where's Yu Ke Nan?

How would I know?

No.

You don't know where he went?

Mr. Fu

sent that arrogant and proud Yu Ke Nan

to a pigsty to take care of pigs.

Real pigs.

Real pigs.

Stop.

Next.

It's Brother Jing Chun's turn.

Do your best. This is your chance.

Great.

Brother Jing Chun is being too rushed.

Is he nervous?

It doesn't look good for him.

Great!

Good.

Okay. Stop.

Next.

Xia Ke, you are next.

The next player is good.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Okay. Stop.

Any other objections?

No objections.

No objections.

Okay. Since the whole coaching team has agreed,

The men's doubles for this season's

World Ping-Pong Tournament

will be Ye Zhen Xin and Xia Ke.

Great!

The coaching team and I

will devise the training plan for you as soon as possible.

All of you are dismissed.

Xu Tan.

Come with me.

I thought you were punished.

I didn't know that you'd be beaten up.

It's none of your business.

The bruise is from the cupping.

Why are you talking about me?

What kind of hair is that?

It's from the cupping too.

Both of your coaches have reported back to me.

Looks like the punishment is worthwhile.

It's a rare experience

for both of you.

It'll serve as a reminder for both of you.

Let bygones be bygones.

We asked you to come here today

because the team wants to choose another pair of

men's doubles from the second team.

Both of you are our first choice.

I refuse.

Who would want to pair up with you?

See? I've already told you so.

They can't play together.

They were brawling like cats and dogs before this.

How is it possible that

they can train together as a team?

Mr. Teng thinks that this is not possible.

But I think there's still hope.

Our team

won't force you to play together.

We are bringing this up

because

the members of the men's doubles

will receive special treatment.

If you can pass the test of the coaching team,

you'll have the chance

to straight away enter the first team.

This matter

will affect the time

that it'll take for both of you to enter the first team.

Think about it carefully.

Let's do it like this.

If both of you are willing to partner up,

shake hands with each other.

And from now on, you'll be partners.

You'll train together and give us good results as soon as possible.

Okay.

Be decisive you are a man.

This...

What are you doing?

What is the meaning of this?

Mr. Teng.

Uncuff them before their training

and re-cuff them after the training.

You can uncuff them indefinitely when

they can work well as a team.

Leave it to me.

No. Uncuff us first.

You can't open it by force.

It's made from steel.

If you break it,

you'll have to wear it for 10 more days.

Think about it. Is it worth it?

Mr. Teng, uncuff me.

No. This...

Both of you

should learn how to get along with each other first.

How can we use the toilet

if we are cuffed together?

Come in now.

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

This is so embarrassing!

Come here.

Can you stop already?

Put your hand here.

If you can break it,

I'll address you as my father.

Okay, son. Out your hand here.

You are doing this for real?

Of course.

I don't want to be with you for even one second.

Open the door.

This is your room. You should do it.

Yu Ke Nan, this is your bag.

Mr. Teng asked me to bring it to you.

Thank you.

This is Xu Tan's bag.

Okay.

Where is he?

Thank you. Bye.

This is yours.

What are you doing?

Go away.

What are you...

Both of you are...

Leave now.

I'm all sweaty now.

Let's take a shower.

How can we take a shower when we can't even take off our clothes?

We'll do it when they uncuff us tomorrow.

We can take our clothes off.

Pull it over there.

Pull it over there and you can take it off.

Come on.

What a bad idea!

It's painful.

You are quite smart.

I want another one.

What a good appetite you have.

Come closer.

Don't pull me!

Are my shoes there? Help me check.

My legs.

They are here.

Let's go now.

You...

I have to use the toilet.

Don't look at me.

Everybody, stop.

We have an announcement.

Ye Zhen Xin and Xia Ke's training plan

is out now.

Our team has decided

to choose a fixed men's doubles

to train with them.

If you want to give it a try,

register with me

after your training.

Understand?

Yes!

Continue with your training then.

Fatty.

What is it?

Let's

give it a try.

What do you want to try?

Men's doubles.

You are left-handed and I'm right-handed.

We can do better than them who are both right-handed.

Stone.

You are a chopper.

When you do a chopping, I can't

keep up with you.

You can learn how to do it too.

By the way, last night,

I was hungry.

So, I went to Jia Chen's room

to get some instant noodles.

Then, I found out about groundbreaking news.

Mr. Fu

cuffed Xu Tan and

Yu Ke Nan together.

What are you doing?

Walk properly.

How can I walk properly?

Xu Tan.

What are you doing?

You are late without an excuse.

Each of you have to do 50 push-ups.

Forty, forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, forty-four,

forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine,

fifty.

Get up.

Give me your hands.

Your training will officially start from today onwards.

Zhai Jia Chen!

Xu Nuo! Come here.

Both of you will train with them.

Warm up now.

Get ready for your training!

Move aside.

Do you know how to play?

Both of you are really close.

Why are you hugging each other while playing?

Not bad. Continue.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

How do you feel?

This is the special training that

you are talking about?

We are neither training our skills nor our physical bodies.

We are just

sitting here like stone lions.

This is neither yoga nor meditation.

I'm not asking you to do yoga

or to meditate.

I'm doing this to calm you down.

I'm quite calm.

Xia Ke.

In your opinion, what is the most important thing in men's doubles?

Cooperation.

Not quite.

Take a seat. I'll tell you.

After our training during this period,

both of us are playing together quite well

in terms of skills, right?

You don't need to tell me that.

I think that now,

we are the best men's doubles

in this national team.

The best in the world.

But I still think that something is missing.

When you are playing in doubles,

everyone has the habit of making their own gestures, right?

If two people

can know what each other is thinking

with just a gaze alone

without speaking

or making any gestures,

I think that's the ultimate level in doubles.

But,

how can we reach that level?

I'm not sure.

But,

I'm sure that this level exists.

Based on the data,

he can serve very well.

The angle of his serve is very tricky

and the speed of the spin is lightning fast.

I'll ask a question now.

In the last competition,

What are the offensive hit rates for

both of our China's players?

Yu Ke Nan.

I don't remember.

Let me stress this again.

When we look at a certain technique,

we don't just look at it.

We have to note it down, analyse it and recreate it.

This is why we turn

these competitions into data.

This is very useful to enhance

the skills of our own members.

We can't look at the data and the actual competitions as separate matters.

If we do that,

one day, you defeated by

this data.

Yu Ke Nan.

I can't memorise it.

Why are you making an excuse?

If you make a mistake during the competition,

are you going to make an excuse?

Xu Tan.

Tell us the answer.

The rates are 89%

and 81% respectively.

Good. You've memorised them.

Training partners for men's doubles.

He can play in the doubles.

He has an advantage because he is left-handed.

But you are a chopper. How can you play in the doubles?

We can play together really well.

And I think that

we can let them experience something new.

Yes.

You better think about it.

Sorry for disturbing.

Let's go.

I've told you, right?

You are too foolish.

How many times have I told you that?

Everybody, stop.

Leng Yi, come here.

Mr. Qin.

What place did you get in the elimination competition?

I got the ninth place.

Ninth place?

Have you ever thought about

why can't you improve?

You are too tall. Your core is unstable.

You are slow to recover.

That's why a fastball is your enemy.

Mr. Qin.

Mr. Zheng had said that to me in the past too.

But he just commented a little bit about it.

He didn't elaborate like what you did.

He's not as free as I am.

So,

I think it's not possible for your to

improve in a short time to be qualified enough

to join some international competitions.

If you want to improve yourself quickly,

you need to join some serious competitions

to gain more experience.

Let me think of a way for you.

Fatty.

Come over here for a while.

Mr. Qin.

Both of you can consider to pair up as a team.

Since there are new rules for men's doubles,

I suggest you to play in doubles

to break your own limit.

Build up a good men's doubles team

so that you can join more competitions.

It'll be good for you.

He's left-handed.

You have long arms.

You have a wide range.

And you'll have space because he's left-handed.

As for skills,

he has trained with you so many times.

I'm sure you know his skills.

Think about it.

Mr. Qin.

Then, let us...

Let's play.

Okay.

Mister. Are you okay?

Mister.

I'm sorry. We are about to close.

It's 300 in total.

You have the right amount.

Ping Pong Little Drama

Doubles' Techniques

Doubles' Techniques.

The doubles in ping-pong

uses the techniques of singles as its foundation.

But,

it's not necessary that an amazing singles player

can become a fantastic doubles player.

Because in doubles, it's a team fight.

The skills and techniques in doubles

are different.

So, if you want to level up your skills in doubles,

you have to match your skills with

the uniqueness of doubles

Match your skills

and have a strict training system.

Strict training system

In doubles,

one of the most crucial strategies

is to control the strong

Control the strong

and attack the weak.

Attack the weak

Because in a doubles' team,

no matter how similar both players are,

they'll have different attack power.

So, if you choose the opponent

who is the weaker one between the two

as your main target,

it'll be easier for you to win.
