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 34

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

I'll train.

Fine, I'll train.

What...

It's a new era.

Corporal punishment is no longer allowed.

Then what...

Are you going to make an omelette?

Omelette you foot.

This

is the secret weapon I made especially for you.

What...

Remember.

If you want to be more outstanding than others,

you must work harder than them.

Got it?

What do you think?

It's so heavy.

Just do it.

It's an anxious time.

You thought I'd gone away for no reason?

I ordered someone to make you this lead pan.

Its bottom

is coated.

If you can manage banana flip

with this coated pan,

you will be invincible.

This is definitely our unique skill.

We have a patent for it. Train well.

Good.

This is normal.

But now you

need to master this movement.

Never mind the speed.

Whether you hit it or not, you'll

work on this movement first. Okay?

Here, hold it.

Not bad.

Good.

Does it hurt?

Does it hurt?

What's with you?

You're injured.

It's this one.

Does it hurt?

♫ Toss the ball, blood burning ♫

♫ Every second is shining ♫

♫ I can hear the heartbeat of Ping Pong ♫

♫ Forget the pain ♫

♫ Stand up and conquer it ♫

♫ Are you ready, champion? ♫

♫ Keep sprinting ♫

♫ Trying your best just to show the world ♫

♫ I'm running without restrain ♫

♫ This is my stage to capture the moment of glory ♫

♫ In spite of all, just to let the whole world see ♫

♫ Passion is my religion ♫

♫ As long as the ball doesn't touch the floor, never giving up ♫

Here's your reward.

What's it?

Headband.

Get back here.

Do you want it?

I don't want it.

Get back here.

Get back here.

Say you like it.

I like it.

Nice shot!

Mr Feng.

No way.

Xu Tan is too powerful.

I can't play with him.

Xu Tan, you may now join the Universiade.

Awesome!

Cool!

Unity & Discipline

The coaching team

has broken the news.

Yu Ke Nan.

He's disqualified.

How could they? It's Mr Zheng who...

Why are they punishing Yu Ke Nan?

That video

shows the whole incident clearly.

There's nothing else the coaching team could do.

Why didn't you stop them?

How could I stop them?

I wouldn't be able to stop them.

Also,

I thought of defending Yu Ke Nan.

How would you have defended him?

You're a Monday-morning quarterback.

Liu Shi.

Liu Shi.

Mr Fu.

Please recall the order.

Don't punish Yu Ke Nan like this.

What does that have to do with you, huh?

Mr Fu.

Yu Ke Nan really wants to

quickly get the Grand Slam.

He's stubborn and refuses to admit it.

I beg you on his behalf.

Enough.

Let's not talk about it. You should get going.

As for the way to settle it,

we've come up with the decision.

Liu Shi, get over here.

Mr Fu, Yu Ke Nan's temper is indeed problematic.

But he trains so hard.

He's been waiting for this World Cup.

Please give him a second chance.

Mr Fu. From a practical perspective,

we really need Yu Ke Nan

for the Paris World Cup.

Are you all here to defend Yu Ke Nan?

What?

Is this a demonstration?

Mr Fu.

We know how good he is

and how hard he trains.

We really need him for the competition.

Jeez.

You should've just stuck to what should be said,

not what shouldn't be said.

Didn't you see it?

Mr Qin was there.

And you just went to talk to Mr Fu.

What if he got mad?

Let me tell you.

Not only would you not be able to save Yu Ke Nan,

you would drag yourself into it.

You should've discussed with us.

I've been thinking about it.

I think Yu Ke Nan should join the competition.

Why should he?

I told Mr Fu so when he was there.

-Yuan Ran. -It's you.

Dr Yuan.

What are you talking about?

Ask him yourself. He played the hero again.

Play the hero?

I'll get going.

Why does

Fatty run away every time he sees me?

I don't know.

Have you eaten yet?

Not yet.

And I'm quite hungry.

Fatty said

there's a really nice garden restaurant.

I'll take you there.

Sure.

Let's go.

Then how did you pick up ping-pong?

The father of my homeboy Wu Chang Sheng

got a video tape.

And I watched it.

That's the first ping-pong game I ever watched.

That person played so well.

He's like a god. He could return all kinds of serve.

I looked at that small ball

and felt

as if it's some kind of magic.

And I got attracted to it.

Every day,

I watched that tape repeatedly.

And I

learned the movements one by one.

Slowly, I picked up ping-pong.

I feel very happy when playing ping-pong.

And then I met Master,

Xu Tan, Yu Ke Nan, and Fatty.

When I train with them,

I feel so great.

Although

chopping

is a very passive technique,

I still want to try my very best.

I hope I can make a miracle out of it.

Oh yeah. Why did you

defend Yu Ke Nan this afternoon?

I think

he's a gifted player.

He belongs to the ping-pong table.

And I have no idea

why they want to stop a genius player

from completing his mission.

Am I very boring?

All I talk about is ping-pong.

No.

Liu Shi.

You're a gifted player, too.

Am I?

Did you know?

Whenever you talk about playing ping-pong,

you can't help smiling.

I really envy you.

You managed to find something

that makes you smile.

Actually, sometimes

when I think of you,

I also smile.

General Administration of Sport of China

Gather round!

I'm going to announce the list of male ping-pong players

for Paris World Cup.

Ye Zhen Xin.

Leng Yi.

Ma Chuan.

Yu Ke Nan.

It's a world competition,

a rare opportunity

for each of you.

You all need to get ready for it

and seize the opportunity.

If you don't win this world championship,

don't come back.

Dismiss!

Go for it.

Xu Tan.

If you don't get the first place, don't come back.

Go for it.

Go for it, Xu Tan.

Go for it.

Si Heng.

Let me make one thing clear.

I broke the rules and let you come along.

But when the Universiade starts,

you can't affect Xu Tan's rest,

training, and competition.

You need to stay outside the Universiade.

And take care of yourself.

Understand?

That's a given.

Shenzhen Looks Forward to the Future in this Universiade

2011, Shenzhen

Not bad.

It's over. Let's not talk about it.

Look over there.

I've been observing both of them.

They've got unique techniques.

Particularly that Japanese player.

I think the way he plays goes against yours.

Hurry up and get ready for it.

They've got one more round there.

Quick, go check out

your opponent's name for the finals.

Did you see it? I won.

I did.

The counter loop you made at the end

was of world-class indeed.

You're becoming more powerful.

I'm proud of you.

You know what a world-class counter loop is.

I have to look for the form

from joining games.

But there's only the finals left.

Awesome.

Well, I...

Go ahead and say it.

It's nothing. It's just that...

I miss you. I'm hanging up.

What are you making?

Do you need my help?

Wait, the food served soon.

Remember to wash your hands.

The magical Yu Ke Nan defeated Der Mark

and made it to the finals of World Cup.

We all know that

Yu Ke Nan

is the two-time champion of World Table Tennis Championships.

We don't know how far

he can go in this competition.

Let's wait and see.

Dear audience.

The men's finals of 32nd 2011 World Cup

is about to start.

Next up is our national player Yu Ke Nan

and Korean player An Cheong-yu.

This game

will show Yu Ke Nan's real standard.

When both of you played in the league,

he wasn't himself.

Again,

play slower and more carefully.

Don't leave your opponent any chance.

You're looking for Cai Wei, aren't you?

No.

Brat. I believe Cai Wei

is watching you.

Remember.

Win this game and you're one less step away

from the Grand Slam.

Go away.

2011, Paris

Mr Ding.

Are you satisfied with

the result of the Singaporean women's team?

Even though we didn't make it to the finals,

we're confident.

We'll set out again

for London Olympic Games.

Dear members of the the press,

Sister Wei.

please interview us, then.

Mr Ding.

What do you think about

this combat?

Coach, we'll get going.

Okay, wait for me.

Luckily I came early.

If not, we wouldn't have met.

Cai Wei.

Have you been doing well in Germany?

Quite good.

Back then, you couldn't join us due to many reasons.

And I totally understand it.

But it's different now.

Forget about those things.

If you can make up your mind,

you're welcome to join us.

Yes, Sister Wei.

Join us.

That's right.

Well, the best time is already gone.

I'm

not able to play international games anymore.

I would only hold you back.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Give yourself a chance.

Sure.

Yu Ke Nan's competition is about to start.

You should get going.

My presence there doesn't make any difference.

Mr Ding, I have something to tell you.

You'll leave first. And I'll come after you.

Walk slowly.

I'll leave you to it.

Why did Mr Ding leave?

What's wrong?

Here, come with me.

What's the matter?

You came to watch Yu Ke Nan's game today.

Why didn't you go in?

Yu Ke Nan make a fraught start.

It's 2:3 for now.

He's behind the Korean player Kim Sung-wu.

Yu Ke Nan must stay cool.

Now isn't the time to be upset.

All right. As we can see,

Mr Teng has asked to stop the game.

We don't know if he can successfully...

Have you broken up?

I'm thinking of terminating the contract.

Why?

Do you remember what you said

when you left the national team for the regional team?

I remember it well.

You said you're tired.

At that time, I didn't understand it.

But now I do.

Yu Ke Nan has been getting better and better.

And I'm truly happy for him.

But I'm an athlete, too.

I want to be like him, too.

I know I shouldn't compare myself to him.

But I can't stop doing that.

I can't stop it. Do you understand, Xiao Jun?

You saw us get together.

I fell in love with him

because he's passionate,

determined,

and stubborn.

We're so alike.

But then,

the better and stronger

he got,

the more I wanted to surpass him.

The more I wanted to beat him, the harder I worked.

The harder I worked, the more I didn't feel up to it.

The more I didn't feel up to it, the less he could understand me.

Did you know?

When I hold a ping-pong paddle,

I'll think of him.

I can no longer play ping-pong.

And both of us.

We're from two worlds.

The game has come to its crucial moment.

Yes! Yu Ke Nan has won!

He survived the multi-stroke loop that he's least good at.

And won the competition with a comebacker.

Let's congratulate Yu Ke Nan

for being the World Cup champion.

He's one step closer to the Grand Slam.

All right. As we can see,

Yu Ke Nan is celebrating it.

He's the brightest star in Paris today.

Did you see it?

In this game,

Yu Ke Nan dealt with the winning shots very well.

You've lost your appetite?

It's normal.

You still have to eat.

How can you train without eating?

Hello, fellow friends.

This is the men's singles ping-pong finals

of Universiade Shenzhen.

Xu Tan from Chinese Team

will go against Shuichi Minamino from Japanese Team.

Shuichi Minamino

is a genius athlete from Japanese Team.

And he's joined many international competitions.

So, a competition

in Universiade

is much like a practice match to him.

And on the other hand, Xu Tan

is in the same batch with Yu Ke Nan

and Liu Shi.

But before this,

we didn't get to see him a lot.

So this is quite fun.

There were many predictions.

They're all about how many points he would score

to lose to Shuichi Minamino.

All right. The competition will start soon.

As we can see, Xu Tan is already in the arena.

Pull yourself together.

Your master and the rest are watching you up there.

Go.

Okay. Shuichi Minamino

won the fourth game 11:8.

And Xu Tan lost three games in a row.

And he lost this one, too.

And we noticed

he's having a very hard time defending against

the first three strokes of Shuichi Minamino

He continuously made many mistakes.

Let's see if he will change

after adjusting his form.

The opponent's first three strokes are very fierce.

And he's more experienced than you.

Can't you feel it?

He came in

thinking of getting rid of you soonest.

He refuses to play a battle of attrition with you.

Don't you feel that

he plays like someone?

Who?

Don't mind your opponent.

Stop giving him any leeway.

You can definitely win this kind of competition.

Yes.

Yu Ke Nan.

Thus, you must change.

If they keep forcing you

with strong strokes and moves,

you need to change.

You need to beat him.

Talk with the ball.

Tell him,

"I'm not scared of you."

"I can be more aggressive than you."

Okay?

Go for it.

Xu Tan has never used the technique of backhand banana flip.

Look, he plays so irritably.

But he seems so calm.

Good!

Xu Tan has got us to a tiebreaker.

It's definitely

a tight slap for

those who underestimated him.

And let's take a careful look.

After Xu Tan

involved the first three strokes in the first two games,

the advantage of his techniques

has now appeared.

You're the top Japanese player.

And the opponent is just a university student.

You're a professional player. If you lose it,

you will go home!

Everyone is concerned about

how far Xu Tan can go

in the men's singles

of this Universiade!

All right. The tiebreaker is about to start.

Let's wait and see.

Cool.

♫ Toss the ball, blood burning ♫

♫ Every second is shining ♫

♫ I can hear the heartbeat of Ping Pong ♫

♫ Forget the pain ♫

♫ Stand up and conquer it ♫

Cool!

A counter loop!

Xu Tan has done a wonderful counter loop!

He's no longer afraid of

the first three strokes of Shuichi Minamino,

not to mention his loop.

He returned that serve with a powerful counter loop!

It's so wonderful!

Xu Tan has won the first place

in the men's single of Universiade.

What a promising your man!

♫ Capture the moment of glory ♫

♫ In spite of all, just to let the whole world see ♫

♫ Passion is my religion ♫

♫ As long as the ball doesn't touch the floor, never giving up ♫

Xu Tan!

Xu Tan!

Xu Tan!

Suddenly it all went quiet.

So many people were here just now.

And they're all celebrating your victory.

It's like a dream.

Did you know?

I've been playing ping-pong for so many years.

This is the first number one I ever got.

It's also the first time

I heard a crowd calling out my name.

It seems that I suddenly understood

what I want.

What do you want?

Champion.

World champion.

General Administration of Sport of China, Press Conference

Yu Ke Nan.

Congratulation again for winning another world championship.

You're another step closer to your Grand Slam dream.

How do you feel now?

Yu Ke Nan

I feel very good and happy.

I'll keep up the good work.

Who else?

Madam.

Mr Gong.

As for the CTTSL incident

between Zheng Hao and Yu Ke Nan,

how did the national team handle it?

Let me answer this question.

The national team has had a discussion with the leaders of the management center.

We will suspend Yu Ke Nan from training for one month.

And he will stay in the team for observation.

Mr Zheng Hao

has applied for resignation

due to family reasons.

Due to work reasons,

the team has made arrangements for Zheng Hao.

Thus, he couldn't attend this press conference

to explain the situation and made his apology.

Please forgive him.

Mr Fu.

Who will be Yu Ke Nan's

next personal coach?

The ex-leader of second team Teng Piao.

will take over from Zheng Hao

as Yu Ke Nan's personal coach.

Who else?

Wait, Mr Fu.

Quitting the league.

Leaving the team after the World Cup.

Any ordinary player

would be severely punished for any of these mistakes.

But Yu Ke Nan are receiving only light punishment.

Is it because he's a champion?

Not everyone

will be satisfied with any decision made.

Just like what you said.

Light punishment will be deemed a privilege.

And heavy punishment will be criticised as unsympathetic.

Therefore,

I would like to tell you all that

The decision

are agreed upon by the coaching team

and all the teammates.

Thank you.

Madam.

Cut that out.

I don't care how you do it.

I just want to see the result.

Remember?

Yu Ke Nan.

It's really you.

What a coincidence.

We haven't met for so many years.

But you haven't changed a bit.

Oh yeah.

I've opened a sports company.

Here's my name card.

Just come to me if you need anything.

Jia Yu

I'll definitely help you.

You've helped me enough.
