In the interview with Li Jing, the golden sentence is still there, but it doesn't have the humor we expected, only the bloody attack.

The phrase "X you are in the middle" made Li Jing, the head coach of the Hong Kong women's table tennis team, quickly became popular.
The people of Hong Kong like him because his golden sentences are too fleshy, and because the "X" that he calls "auxiliary verbs" is sufficiently grass-rooted and close to the ground.
I am curious, what would happen to him if his two baby girls were "X" by the coach like this?
Tearing up the mask and "X" each other with the coach?
He didn't answer directly, but took out his phone and opened a video.
In the film, a little girl learning rhythmic swimming is lying on the ground, one leg is pressed on top of the head, and one leg is pressed on the ground. The little girl is in pain, tears streaming down and crying desolately.
"Lajin pain, tears are screaming. The kindergarten is screaming, I don't know how to swim, I don't want to fall into the water, the coach fell with one hand, and he was shocked."
Compared to Li Jing as a father, it seems that I am even more utterly red with the tears of her daughter's "boom", and I can't bear to look at it anymore.
However, Li Jing looked indifferent: "The coaching department is a professional, and the school is a student. It hurts my grandmother if I lose, but I can't beat me?" Then, "
I teach my daughter, don't care, the society is too cruel, too caressing." , It will be useless, it is really useless, I am most afraid of people with glass hearts.
"

Li Jing's world has always been so cruel.
Father is a judge and mother is an engineer. Both parents love table tennis. Li Jing started playing at the age of 6.
He said to himself, "If you are careful, you will get a good wave." He has experienced the days when he could be kicked by the coach if he didn't do basic skills. He had played in the Guangdong Junior Games at the age of 8 and entered the Provincial Sports School at the age of 10. The men's singles runner-up ranked among the national team when he was 17 years old.
Climbing to the top of the pyramid and flexing his muscles, but after Li Jing’s style of play changed from straight to horizontal, he did not win any competitions all year. Later, he even had fewer chances to compete. He watched Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui in the same period in the Olympics. He was shining with the World Championships, but he retired from the team due to illness in 1997, and he continued to develop a second life in Hong Kong until he came to Hong Kong in 2000.

At the beginning of the southward journey, Li Jing shared the same room with her later male doubles partner Gao Lize. The two lived in the dormitory room. There was only a bunk bed in the room without a window.
But it is even more difficult to adapt. At that time, Hong Kong men's table tennis players had enough numbers on one hand. How could there be dozens of sparring players like the Chinese team?
Standing in the empty ping-pong hall, the tick-to-tick sound of playing ball fell through, but Li Jing knew that it was a chance to play in international competitions. "If the environment is not enough, there are enough people." What she can do is to practice the skills as much as possible. fine.
He is convinced that changing technology can change destiny.
We all know later stories. He and Gao Lize won the Athens Olympic Men's Doubles silver medal, as well as a bunch of Asian Games, World Championships and Asian Championships.
For these honors, Hong Kong men’s table tennis has never won a “down storm”, such as the Doha Asian Games men’s doubles gold medals won by two consecutive defeats of Chinese teams (including the Athens Olympic gold medals Ma Lin/Chen Qi), and the 2006 Team World Championships. Li Jing defeated Austria’s former world champion Schrager and helped the Hong Kong team win the first World Championship third place in 54 years. At the moment of victory, he was so excited that he kept shouting and shouting. The racket was also thrown to the "ninth floor." High" and threw it to pieces.
In the days of desperate old life, Li Jing is so courageous, she must be courageous enough to see happiness.
This philosophy has been rooted in the time when the national team ate "wok rice" and practiced and competed together. Therefore, after officially retiring from the
game to
take over the Hong Kong Women's Table Tennis team in 2013, he was determined to pass it on: "
Playing with each other. Eat a meal and eat. In the national team, the blood is divided, the game is fateful, and everything must be done to the extreme, and there is no one to let you.
" He said excitedly, his eyes widened and his fists were clenched, as if Back to the old game, holding the racket and fighting.
8 years ago, when she took over from the national aid to the Hong Kong-made women's table tennis, Li Jing described it like this: high-risk investment, very high cost, and has to catch up in the big market, there is no way out.
Therefore, he gave up most of his life and devoted himself to the study of technology and tactics. He could look through the player's game video from the beginning to the end from the inside to the outside, and accompany the training from eight to nine. Arranged in a sloping manner, he would think with his head sideways and gesture with his hands even when walking on the street. Even if passers-by cast strange eyes, he would only think hard about various techniques all the time.
"I have very high technical requirements. As soon as you have some errors, I will pin you. I have an endless pursuit of technology, and the bottom line must be firm."

However, every coach knows that the unique secrets made with blood, sweat and tears will not be suitable for all players, and players cannot be accepted as they are, especially those who have reached the rare Olympics, athletes and coaches themselves. They are hard bones with strong personality, and each have their own understanding of the game.
Li Jing admitted, "My speech is rough, and I have some powerful "auxiliary verbs". For example, the sentence "X" became famous for "the middle of the enterprise", "I only had one second at the time. I must use a strong tone to make Du Kaiyan left the state of hesitation, elegant and vulgar, it's good, every moment must be firm"; as well as the review meeting after the women's team lost to Japan in the semi-finals, Li Jing described that players and coaches "represent each other and are evenly matched." But at least everyone was daring enough to speak the truth and finally defeated Germany to take the bronze medal. It was finally the perfect ending after the tenth storm.
"It’s
always uncomfortable to tell the truth. But when things really happen, we tell the truth and don’t evade, so let’s call our sincere courage first.
"
"
Facing problems, you will always be cruel to yourself. It is so easy to win yourself. The problem is whether you dare to win.
"

Li Jing has repeatedly emphasized, "Opponents talk about winning or losing with you, not about feelings", "A strong heart is about losing," and "Winning waves is the last word." So he likes to create a variety of things for players in daily training. Setbacks, such as arranging intra-team matches, hope that players can absorb the nutrients of defeat before they can truly face victory or defeat.
He bluntly said, "Playing technology has always been uncomfortable", "It's not that I make you uncomfortable, it's the opponent that makes you uncomfortable." Therefore, we must pick out the most acute contradictions in order to find room for improvement.
Speaking of this, Li Jing continued to fire up:
"For table tennis, how long do you want to change yourself to win the game? It's hard to accept after losing. In fact, there are ways to solve it. It's just that there is a strong sense of frustration from small to large, and there is no reason to say that it is not low. Get up and cheer? I win and lose in a fight. I, Li Jing, are shocked to lose, but I have to face it. I can only do my best. You practice one hour, I practice two minutes, and the coach assigns 50 rebounds. I practice enough. 150 boards."
"On-site fighting, you have to change your tactics in one second. It is because you have to constantly hone yourself in normal times. You should do it "in one second"? Successful people never feel comfortable, but they have to go through pain and enjoy the pain. How comfortable is the adult son? Liu Guoliang, the Olympic champion in the year (1996 Atalanta Olympics), almost never won Poland, and Mei Caijiao. At that time, he was already a world champion. In the end, he can survive, win the Olympics, and shine brightly."
"As a coach, I don't know when you will win the medal, but I believe you will win the medal. Why don't you believe it? I am willing to protect you technically for the rest of your life, but you will not be resentful for the rest of your life."

Li Jing spoke, sometimes hitting forehands, sometimes backhands, attacking the opponent's weakness directly.
I said that he is a little bit reluctant to do so, people sound uncomfortable, and communication is not going to fight to kill the enemy, why bother to hit the core inner circle directly?
He told me that leading a team to train with the national team before the Olympics is better than Malone and Chen Meng, who later won the men's and women's singles gold medals. As long as they didn't do well, they would still be scolded by the coach in the arena. I won’t use words to make you happy."
But Li Jing's teaching-wave philosophy is not always effective.
He admits that communicating with female players requires skills, but he is very difficult, and there is definitely room for improvement. "I speak of being smart, not enough for girls, girls have eyebrows raised, and they have language talent." Now he will do more Pay attention to your attitude and tone, be gentler and less laborious. After all, time is easy to change. Players are also Olympic medal levels. There is not only one way to communicate. There are many ways to speak. Teachers can't read through the book until they are old. Second, everyone is mature and knowledgeable."
How much do you remember the "Li Jing moment" of the Tokyo Olympics?

On the field, Li Jing ripped her mask and shouted, "Cho", "Asu first-class, first-class", "Li Jing moment" let us know that even if he is hard to top, but for Table tennis and his own players, he absolutely devoted himself from the bottom of his heart.
Li Jing said that he was "better to a player than to two women." Since more than a year before the Olympics, he has only returned to Guangzhou to visit his wife and daughter once, and did not go home after the Olympics.
His eldest daughter was 11 years old and his daughter was 5 years old. After the epidemic, she could only communicate with her daughter through video calls. Her daughter sometimes thought that he blocked the phone and cut the line cruelly. The only way to be a father was to sigh with helplessness. Normal", all mental stress can only be contained in the heart.
Li Jing was eloquent throughout the interview. When it comes to his wife and daughter, her expression in her eyes suddenly becomes gentle, and she will keep sweeping around with her mobile phone like ordinary parents, showing her daughter playing table tennis, rhythmic swimming, and safety. Video of rope climbing.
He will not fall from the precept female hand to play, but it must be cruel curse, and most focus on training her character, "
do men, a large number of the most critical; a woman, the most critical kind
."
It's just that he has invested his entire life in the ping-pong career, and how much space has he reserved for his wife and daughter?
He was silent for a moment, and said, "Family affection lacks nutrients. Nutrients go to ping-pong, fatten up ping-pong, and thin family affection."
Li Jing: "To be a man, the most important thing is to have a lot; to be a woman, the most important thing is to be kind." (Photo by Huang Shuhui)
The 46-year-old Li Jing is indeed the "King of Golden Sentences."
In the interview, he throws out a lot of golden words that go straight to the heart, about playing basketball, about teaching waves, about making up girls, and about being a person.
When disassembled point by point, it is not funny, but humorous, but this humor is a bit dark, because every word in the golden sentence is the nourishment accumulated by him from failure.
Perhaps we all need this kind of black humor to face life. After all, life has always been full of blood and violence, and the absurdity is happening every day, and it is not far from you and me.
Li Jing's humor is a bit dark. Perhaps we all need this kind of black humor to face the absurd life.
