186 Chapters that end the battle quickly
With the convening of the All-Japan High School Comprehensive Sports Conference, Lin Junxiu's announcements suddenly increased. Anyway, Lin Junxiu is now the official spokesperson of the Japan High School Sports Federation and the Japan Table Tennis Association, so he is indispensable.
Do a lot of publicity for the event before and after the sports games. This kind of endorsement is usually voluntary and without any compensation, but it is also an important endorsement to improve the artist's status. This time, the High Sports Federation will use Lin Junxiu's summer single "Glory Frame"
"Bridge" is listed as the official support song and is promoted in various programs.
This song was originally adopted by the Summer Koshien, and this time the High Sports Federation also followed suit, which made the song's media exposure gradually increase in the summer. The Japanese Olympic Committee, which was originally a bit reserved, also expressed its concern.
He expressed great interest in this song and said that he was considering whether to use this song as the official cheering song for the Japanese national team to compete in the Sydney Olympics. Originally, it was adopted by Koshien and IH conferences, which would have demonstrated the influence of this song. If
If it is eventually selected by the Japanese Olympic Committee, Lin Junxiu's summer single will become a "symbol of the times."
Like last year's IH Conference, the current IH Conference has been hosted by a single city and jointly held by several cities in a certain prefecture. However, with the soaring prices and the decline of various cities outside Tokyo, Japan, Japan's
The IH conference will be jointly held by several counties in the same area.
At that time, various local administrative regions in Japan did everything they could to promote themselves. For example, if events such as AKB’s general election were held in cities outside Tokyo, the local government would be willing to provide government funding. In China
It is simply unimaginable that if a certain prefecture-level city government were to allocate funds to hold an event like Produce 101, the media and the public would probably explode. But in Japan, it makes sense, everything is for city marketing. Unfortunately, overall, except for Kumamon,
case, other cases are not very successful.
Different from previous IH conferences, cities no longer compete for popular events such as basketball and swimming, but instead compete for table tennis. There is no way, now that table tennis has a superstar player like Lin Junxiu, it naturally gets the most attention. As for why
No football and baseball? These two Japanese national events are not played in conjunction with the high-level sports. They have separate event systems.
Similarly, the process of the IH conference is still not optimized. On the first day, the opening ceremony is held in the host city, and all contestants of all events must participate. Then, after spending half a day in the gym, each event goes to the host city of its respective event.
On the second day, there was a half-day opening ceremony for each event, and then the official competition began. The Japanese are really unparalleled in their approach to formalism.
The schedule of this table tennis championship is that the first half is for individual competitions, with singles and doubles events to be held first; the second half is for team competitions. As the top seed player of this year's men's singles championship, and also a superstar among Japanese high school players,
Lin Junxiu was naturally arranged by the organizing committee to compete on the first day. Lin Junxiu did not disappoint the National Sports Federation, the Table Tennis Association and the host city government. The opening match with his participation attracted a large number of media from Tokyo to report.
Johnny & Associates also took action this time, and specially applied for some seats with the local host city for Lin Junxiu’s fans to come to support. Of course, the local government is happy for these fans from out of town to come to watch the game. Once they come,
Isn’t food and accommodation money? And as long as people come, they will always spend money locally, right? As a result, under the joint operation of all parties, Lin Junxiu himself was embarrassed. It seemed that he was not here to participate in the competition, but more like he was here to record sports
variety show.
This situation of massive media attention and overwhelming support from the audience for Lin Junxiu caused Lin Junxiu's opponent to seriously malfunction. Lin Junxiu could see that his opponent was not at this level at all and was simply "scared" by the atmosphere at the scene.
.Most of the people who come to participate in the IH Conference Table Tennis Championships are high school students, and they are basically not echelon players of professional clubs, so they have very little competition experience. Although there is also attention to previous IH Conference events, most of them are basketball.
A popular event, table tennis has not received as much attention even in the finals.
"Lin Jun, how do you feel after winning the first game by a big score?" the reporter asked after the game.
"First of all, I am very happy to have so many media and audience friends come to watch the table tennis match. I think this is a very good thing for the popularization and promotion of table tennis, and I also hope that this enthusiasm can continue." Lin
Junxiu replied, "But I hope that everyone will pay less attention to me and return to the sport of table tennis itself. At the same time, I hope that in my next competition, people will not pay too much attention to it, because it will affect me and my
It will cause unnecessary pressure and trouble to the opponents. In addition, I also hope that all the viewers watching the game will not just cheer for a certain player. All players who can step onto the IH conference stage have gone through many hardships to have this opportunity, so everyone
All deserve to be encouraged. If possible, please applaud the winners and cheer for the losers. Ultimately, this is an event that brings together high school students from all over Japan who love table tennis. Friendship comes first.
The final championship we are pursuing is indeed important, but our friendship is equally important."
Lin Junxiu's speech was broadcast on the evening news of TV stations at all levels that day, and was endorsed by many sports professionals. They also believed that the commercial marketing of this IH conference was a bit too much. Not only was it
The table tennis tournament where Lin Junxiu participated was the hardest hit area. The basketball tournament was the hardest hit area. I don’t know what the organizing committee was doing, but they actually organized a so-called red and white match before the game. The red and white match is a Japanese tradition, similar to the so-called all-round competition.
All-star game. Each school works hard to compete from its own county, with the purpose of representing its school and winning the final championship.
As a result, you don’t play in the main game, but you engage in a red-white confrontation to consume the physical strength of these children. Are you kidding? The biggest difference between high school players and adult players is the issue of endurance. After all, most high school players are still in physical development.
Without maturity, the muscles are completely unable to compete with adult players. Although young players have good recovery capabilities, their endurance is obviously at a disadvantage. Moreover, according to the arrangement of high-intensity events such as the IH Conference, the recovery capabilities of young players are also decreasing.
Finally, after the red-white competition and a series of show games, all the famous basketball universities capsized, and the goals that many high school senior players had worked hard for for three years were inexplicably lost. There was a cry in the lounge over the basketball game, and everyone
The school's coach and team leader almost cursed in front of the media. Originally, Japanese people have a relatively reserved personality and would not curse until the last minute. However, this basketball tournament was an own goal.
It was so big that the National Sports Federation and the Japan Basketball Association had to apologize, and several officials in charge of the event immediately packed up and left.
Talking back to the table tennis championships, this year the major table tennis giants in Japan have experienced a lack of success, so several dark horses were suddenly born. Originally, without the special existence of Lin Junxiu, this year's men's singles championship would have been taken away by a dark horse.
The men's doubles championship was almost overturned by a famous family. But because of Lin Junxiu, the men's singles finally fell into the hands of Lin Junxiu.
During the finals, most of the school board members and principal of Azabu Middle School were present. When Lin Junxiu received the award, he found that his principal seemed to be in tears. Compared with Lin Junxiu's men's singles, which won the championship more smoothly, the men's singles
The doubles side was eliminated early. However, the results of the men's doubles were better than coach Zhang Yu expected. At least they made it to the third round. They were able to see the highest level of Japanese high school table tennis.
After the individual competition, all athletes took a day off and then started the men's team competition. Since it was the first time for Azabu Middle School to participate, they naturally did not enjoy the treatment of a seed team; on the contrary, Azabu Middle School ran into last year's IH conference in its first game.
The top eight teams. The existence value of weak teams is generally to boost confidence points for strong teams, so regardless of the fact that there are draws in all competitions, the seed players will encounter either rookies or trustworthy players in the first two rounds. The purpose is to give seeds
It is used for players to warm up. However, the playing style of this team is a very traditional Japanese style, while the "Chinese style" style of play of Azabu Middle School is relatively restrained by the opponent's style of play. Therefore, no matter how the game ends, Azabu Middle School plays with
The score of “4:1” was a slight shock.
With the encouragement of this last top eight player, the members of Azabu Middle School gained confidence and made it all the way to the fourth round. In the fourth round, they bumped into last year's runner-up. Lin Junxiu originally thought it would be bad. Unexpectedly, two
The doubles match unexpectedly broke out, and in the face of a big headwind of "O:2", it was unexpectedly tied to "2:2". When Azabu Middle School tied, even Lin Junxiu's eyes were wet. He relied on his juniors
Due to his persistence, Lin Junxiu, who finally played, naturally showed his strength as the current number one table tennis player in Japan and defeated his opponent.
Relying on the score of "3:2", Azabu Middle School reached the quarter-finals and became one of the top eight in the country. Unfortunately, there was no luck in the semi-finals. Before Lin Junxiu entered the game, the front line was completely tied.
0:4". Originally, according to the rules of the tournament, the opponent could choose not to play the fifth game. But out of respect for Lin Junxiu, the opponent still chose the fifth game. Although Lin Junxiu won a point in honor, "
The score of 1:4" was naturally helpless, and Azabu Junior High School's first appearance came to an end.
In the lounge, everyone except Lin Junxiu was sobbing. Lin Junxiu looked at his coach and motioned for her to come forward to comfort these sad teenagers. As a result, Zhang Yu stared back and signaled Lin Junxiu with his eyes.
, you are peers, and as the minister, you should really comfort them. Under the glare of coach Zhang Yu, Lin Junxiu had no choice but to comfort these teenagers.
As soon as he opened his mouth, these teenagers looked at him with tearful eyes. If a girl looked at him with such praising eyes, Lin Junxiu would definitely hug them immediately and let them feel the strength of his arms. As for being so dirty
Lin Junxiu thought that if he hugged this group of frustrated teenagers, would it be effective? At worst, he would have to sacrifice himself. So Lin Junxiu hugged these frustrated teenagers one by one. As a result, the teenagers cried louder, with snot and tears pouring towards Lin Junxiu.
Junxiu rubbed them all over, making Lin Junxiu look like he kicked them all aside.
After hugging all the teenagers, he said: "Although we failed to win the championship in the end, for us, this is already a historic achievement. The important thing is that we are still young. Next year we will
We can fight again. This failure will become a valuable experience for us to win next time. Okay, everyone, stop crying. Take a shower immediately and change clothes. We still have a press conference to attend."
The annual IH conference ended like this. Although Lin Junxiu won his championship, he always felt that something was missing. Maybe next year, he should work hard to bring everyone to the podium? In high school, although he can stay
