Jensen's name seems a little far away for table tennis lovers, but I will never forget the "Rebecca Group" in my memory. How did they make China men's doubles westward journey? Today, my brother Wang is still recognized as a brother in table tennis, but my brother Jensen has died, and his figure is separated by a baffle. But he is still recognized as a nice guy in table tennis in China. Because of an accidental car accident, Jensen's left hand was seriously injured, and he bid farewell to the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Since then, he has been depressed, both in the table tennis super league and the Japanese league. The 2005 World Table Tennis Championships in Shanghai was his last time to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, and he also experienced an unprecedented early exit. Although the breakup of "Rebecca Group" was embarrassing, Yan Sen smiled calmly. I always remember that on his way back to the hotel, he used to sign autographs and take pictures of his fans. Everyone came as if nothing had happened-he kept a professional smile on his cheeks.
From June 5438 to October 2006 10, Yan Sen re-examined his life. He stared at his newborn son and realized his heavy burden and his desire for future stability. That wandering heart, until the national champion, has not yet determined the direction. As a member of Jiangsu team, he always sits on the sidelines, turns on his mobile phone and quietly looks at his son's hungry head. It was not until Cai Zhenhua, the godfather of table tennis and now the deputy director of the General Administration of Sport, had a heart-to-heart talk with him that Yan Sen's heart was untied and he helped Yan Sen recognize himself.
Like Kong, he bit the pen, struggled in the pain of retiring and the excitement of the game, cried and got drunk, and survived every night of the national championship. Iron Man Kong Hui Ling choked on the manuscript paper and fell on the platform. It's Jensen's turn. He interprets his sleepwalking state of mind as without turns, full of sadness and helplessness.
But even so, he is still himself, and he doesn't know how to decorate or disguise. This time for Star Wars, I came to the training ground of Beijing team after work and stood in the spotlight. What he sees in front of him is the world of table tennis that he is most familiar with, but Yan Sen can't help sweating. "This is my first time to make up." After a long time, he finally suppressed this sentence. What's more, Jensen has faced the camera countless times before, even if he is on the cover of a magazine, it is always dull. "Yes, this is not a transformation as a coach, just a Star Wars major." With a joke on his lips, Jensen looked for the mirror like a child. "I have never looked in the mirror so hard in my life. Don't make me look like me. My wife and children should not recognize me when I go home. "
Yan Sen, who finished makeup for the first time, just put on a layer of foundation with the light, but stared at the photographer like an enemy. I was so nervous that I kept sweating at the tip of my nose. I wiped it with a paper towel and the makeup artist has been trying to make up my makeup. As a result, after Yan Sen finished filming, he had a red nose of Mickey Mouse. Hook and Jensen have known each other before, of course, through TV. A world champion is the pride of China; One is a famous mouth, a famous role in film and television dramas. As a well-known talk show host, Hooke walked into the venue and entered the state without any debugging. Although Yan Sen is very "nagging" to the players at ordinary times, he is very serious and clumsy in the interview. But after no discord, no concord, the conversation between them sounds like friends talking.
Jensen: Have you ever played before?
Hook: What do you think? What do you mean by playing ball? You should ask me if I want to.
Hehe, I don't mind if you think so, do you?
Why not? People in China can't do other sports. Table tennis has been played since childhood. However, in your eyes, I really can't play ball.
Don't be so modest, no one can learn, and I won't be your strong suit.
Do you think I'm okay?
Yeah, not bad. Pretty smart. Entering the business early may have development opportunities.
Look, (Hook winks at the assistant wittily) I'm not bad. The coach praised me.
Do you usually exercise? Do you play table tennis?
To tell the truth, there are few venues, and one person can't play. We often come and go, there is no guarantee. So, I will take a skipping rope. Skipping rope doesn't need much space. You can exercise all over your body, and the effect is good.
How many dances do you usually dance?
200, as the case may be, is sometimes very short. First, your feet jump. When you are tired, you will turn your feet. Just like this (Hook learned these moves), it will be easier. How many do you practice? There are too many majors to count. Many balls only need a few big pots every day. Yan Sen pointed to the cauldron in the training ground (bigger and deeper than the washbasin at home). As for how many, I haven't counted them, but we have all counted them. But as far as amateurs are concerned, it is quite good to be able to swing 200 times a day.
You must practice so much. No wonder you are so amazing. Table tennis in China is the best.
Thank you for your compliment. This is all achieved through hard work. Our China table tennis team has a very good foundation, and everyone's efforts are the hardest. It seems that your camera sense is really strong.
Is it? Just get used to it. We usually record TV programs, and there are usually five cameras on the scene. Shoot from different angles. No matter which machine is used, the red overhead light of that camera will light up. We need to find the machine that lights up as quickly as possible, and at the same time adjust the state to face the camera and show our best side in front of five cameras.
No wonder you are so good at posing. I'm really eye-opening. Ordinary people would never.
Haha, it's okay. I'm constantly looking for my feelings after shooting too much. In fact, there are some routines here.
I think some stars are really good at posing, constantly changing in front of the camera and not sinking. If I were you, my hands and feet would be unnatural except laughing. You are all professionally trained. Why don't you practice the mirror if you have nothing to do?
I'm not exaggerating that much, but some stars are really professional. I remember interviewing a model once. She was really good at it. With only one pair of hands, she can match numbers from one to ten with different senses on her face. I think this trick will be very practical when taking pictures.
I have no experience in this field. The action of playing ball is often subconscious. As long as it is practical, no one cares whether it looks good or not.
Winning is the last word, and winning is the world champion. Never heard of posing or winning the world championship. Your usual life is boring, right? Have you seen my show?
The life of a sports team is two points and one line, which is relatively simple. But we also have our own hobbies. Of course, we will watch more TV in our spare time. You may not have watched all your programs and TV plays, but you have an impression.
Thank you. If there is an opportunity, I would also like to have more contact with your sports stars. Maybe we can develop a new festival. Will your team members take part in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games?
My team members are all young. They are an echelon and should not take part in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but there may be one in the future.
Then you will go to the scene to cheer, for your former teammates and for the China team.
Of course, I definitely want to go. I believe watching the game in the stands will be very different from playing football on the court in the past. I will take my son with me then.
Is it? How old is the child?
One year and two months.
Oh, can he watch table tennis? Do you also want to train him to play table tennis?
2008 is a great event for China people. Let him feel it. As for the future, he will choose for himself. I'm not reluctant.
Well, let's expect China to win all the gold medals. Let's cheer for the national football team. Because Yan Sen and other mountains are short in the sky. He stood on the highest podium of the Olympic Games. As far as Hooke, who has interviewed the most difficult big shot, is concerned, this is easy to get. Two people meet, but no discord, no concord. Don't get me wrong, this "fight" is not another "fight". Star Wars provided them with a "national ball" under the guidance of the state religion.
Hook is very busy. There are important scenes in the foggy city of Chongqing, and there are still several programs to be recorded in Beijing, so he has to be a trapeze artist. In order to meet Jensen and shoot Star Wars, the itinerary was changed again and again. However, people are not as good as heaven. Just when she booked the plane ticket from Chongqing to Beijing, she was caught in a fog and her flight was delayed. When everyone was crazy about the almost missed meeting, finally, at nine o'clock in the evening, Hook appeared at the Xiannongtan Stadium.
When Hook appeared at the gate of the training hall, he "murdered" all eyes under the heavy coat, bright skirt and knee-high boots. The players who sweated before stopped their rackets and turned their sincere eyes to the stars in their hearts. "She, she is Hook, right?" "It seems, hey, why is she here?" Everyone bit their little ears.
"Can I go in like this?" Hook pointed to his boots and looked at the coach who instructed the training. This sentence is really a blockbuster, because it is a valuable respect for the profession. In view of the fact that the table tennis court should be paved with special floor glue, the non-slip floor must also be paved during training, and it is forbidden to wear shoes and boots with heels when entering the stadium. On the one hand, it will hurt the floor glue and floor, on the other hand, it will make a "bang, bang" sound, which will affect the training and is very impolite. But even if sports reporters still make such mistakes, Hooke will make players who have just resumed training look askance again. "It doesn't matter, today's special situation, give us an accommodation." With the consent of the coach, Hook carefully lifted the baffle and walked into the infield. He also deliberately walked along the edge to the most remote and particularly empty photography area.
At this time, Yan Sen was "thinking on the wall" with his eyes closed-accepting makeup for the first time in his life. "Hello!" Crisp greetings, cordial and friendly, just like old friends. Just open your eyes, Hooke is smiling and waving. "Hello, I'm sorry, they (our makeup artist and photographer) want to make up for me. Almost ready. " YanSen quickly signal. "It doesn't matter, I came in to say hello to you and change into sportswear." Hook pointed to the assistant's handbag.
When he re-entered the venue, Hook had changed into a sportswear and started stretching. Pick up the specially selected prop racket and wave it playfully. "Let me play some balls with you," the assistant smiled and picked up another racket and walked across the net. "This ....." Hook naturally won't miss his chance. "I want to fight with him (Yan Sen)." Although the words were addressed to the assistant, he still looked at Jensen shyly. "Is that okay?" This time I asked Jensen a question, but my tone was still uncertain. "Yes, no problem." The world champion is natural and graceful, without any airs.
Photographers who are worried about how to help them get into the role as soon as possible are overjoyed and immediately raise their cameras to capture the most natural and agile moments.
Of course, Hooke's skills can't be compared with her eloquence, but they are also different. And Jensen, facing the camera, although it's hard to say, he has recovered his true colors, feeding the ball to the beauty host and pointing out the maze, but he has an organized mind. Under the guidance of a famous teacher, Hook quickly mastered some skills, was able to catch the ball continuously, and learned to serve and throw high hand in hand with Jensen. 15 minutes later, Hook, who is naturally familiar, and Yan Sen, who is shy, became apprentices. One worships another as a table tennis player, one praises the other as a stylist. Two unknown stars actually formed a red couple in Star Wars. "Oh, you have to be detained sooner or later." At Hongshan Gymnasium in Wuhan, the third round of women's doubles in the city games is underway. Wen Jia is swinging doubles, and one action is not in place. Yan Sen, a former Olympic champion and now the coach of the second table tennis team in China, seems a little anxious. "I mainly came to observe." Yan Sen told reporters that now he has brought second-tier athletes from national teams such as Li Xiaodan and Wen Jia. This time, he specially watched the performances of the players on the spot, so as to prescribe the right medicine in future training.
As early as the 2000 Olympic Games, Yan Sen, then a national table tennis player, partnered with Wang and beat Kong and Liu in one fell swoop to win the men's doubles championship. This victory has produced two new Olympic champions. Since then, Wang has won the men's singles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships three times in 200 1, 2005 and 2007, and established his position as the first table tennis player today. Yan Sen, who was equally imposing, suffered a broken bone in a car accident in the second half of 2003 and lost the opportunity to participate in the Athens Olympic Games. After his recovery, Yan Sen also participated in the Shanghai World Table Tennis Championships.
"Later, I felt that it was difficult to recover, so I thought of retiring." After retiring, Yan Sen still chose a coaching position closely related to table tennis. In the autumn of 2006, he became the coach of the second national team, shouldering the heavy responsibility of cultivating table tennis reserve forces.
"I didn't adapt when I first switched to coaching." Yan Sen said: "When I was an athlete, I exercised all day, but when I was a coach, I had to stand all day.". I'm really not used to it. " Fortunately, after a long time, people "stand up". When teaching athletes, it is quite handy. Because I am an athlete and have rich experience in fighting, watching female disciples train can tell me what is wrong, point out what is wrong, and then make a training plan. "I have adapted to my present life." Yan Sen said.
The glory of the former Olympic champion has become dull. Seeing that Wang, his former partner, was still galloping on the field, ready to win another honor at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and win glory for his country, Yan Sen hesitated a little, and then smiled and said, "He (Wang) is in better health than me."
The classic moment of beating Kong and Liu to win the men's doubles championship in the Olympic Games is gone. Xiao Yansen jumped into Wang's arms and they hugged for a while. I believe that picture will be fixed in the memory of many people forever. 10 10 12, the national coach conference was held in Wuxi. On that day, the news of Kong's retirement was overwhelming. 13 in the morning, when I dragged my tired feet to the meeting place, Yan Sen appeared again, carrying his huge LV messenger bag and holding a few pages of A4 paper. It turned out that Wuxi was also the last stop of his sports career.
I just wanted to ask him what was going on, but I couldn't find him in the meeting. When I came out, I saw him lying on the windowsill, biting his pen, and I couldn't wait to write his competitive draft with a hammer on my chest. "I stayed in the hotel for a day yesterday and wrote so much." Yan Sen showed me more than one page of paper he had written: "Master wrote this for me, and I dare not read it. Everyone knows what I am. I want to study this, but Cai can't promise. So I have to write it myself! "
Yan Sen said that the master was the coach of the men's team and once took him and Wang to the meritorious coach of the men's doubles champion in Sydney Olympic Games. Director Li has always been praised as a talent of the table tennis team, and his articles are often tens of thousands of words. This time his apprentice took part in the competition, and he quickly helped write a competition draft. He held five or six pages of manuscript paper in his hand, echoing back and forth, with rigorous structure and gorgeous words. This is really a good article! However, as Jensen said, the kindness of the master can only be appreciated, which is really beyond Jensen's words! More than 100 coaches sitting in the venue wish they were all people who watched Jensen grow up. Who does he dare to coax?
Jensen's competitive speech was on the afternoon of 13. At noon, he kept chanting to let Zhao Xia, a staff member of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center, type out the competition draft. He thinks the draft he wrote on that piece of broken paper is too ugly! The delicacy of Jiangsu men is reflected at this moment.
Everything was ready, and Jensen finally stood on the podium. In his own words, he was not afraid to play in front of tens of thousands of people, but his legs kept shaking when he gave a speech to 100 people! Jensen's nervous mood spread to the audience, and we were also nervous together. We all breathed a sigh of relief when he finally finished reading the one-page competition draft!
The coach who participated in this competition in Wuxi has five minutes to take your questions. Many times, Director Cai personally acts as a questioner. Standing at the height of Cai's guidance, the questions raised are naturally sharp and don't give people any face. We all laughed that he was the best reporter! But in the face of disciple Yan Sen, Cai gave up the right to speak: "I still don't want to say it. You're too nervous. I will ask you if you are more nervous! " Then he smiled and gave the microphone to someone else.
These coaches who read the introduction like Jensen very much, and everyone smiles and doesn't answer the phone. Someone has to ask, right? Yan Sen's good brother, Wang Yonggang, the head coach of Heilongjiang Women's Team, rushed up: "Yan Sen, as a member of China table tennis team, you have not only tasted the unbearable hardships of others, but also achieved such good results as the Olympic champion ..." I already smiled in the chair behind the venue. Oh, my god This is not a problem. It's just a commendation meeting No wonder people say how good they are in the competition report, but Jensen's competition draft doesn't exist at all, and he still emphasizes that as a newly retired athlete, he still has a lot to learn from the old coach. I can't blame Wang Yonggang for trying to help him speak!
At that moment, the atmosphere at the National Coaches Conference was full of warmth. Finally, Wang Yonggang spoke from everyone's heart: "Yan Sen, I think you should strengthen the training of expression ability and improve your cultural level in the future!" This sentence also attracted everyone's well-meaning laughter.
As expected, the competition will result, and Yan Sen's competition for the coach of the women's second team is successful!
In fact, what I want to say here is not how strong Jensen's expressive force is. I just want to tell you one thing. Some people are as dull and inarticulate as Jensen. Why did everyone unanimously choose him as the coach? There is only one reason, he is really capable of being a coach! With Jensen's growing experience, impressive record, the spirit of studying table tennis hard, and his personality, he is the best choice for an excellent coach. Cai's instructions are very clear, so I won't ask more questions. More than 100 coaches in the audience also knew, so they voted for him! When I think of Yan Sen, people who are familiar with him will immediately jump out of adjectives such as small, sloppy and simple. However, it is this honest man who can't say beautiful words, but sometimes the sentences he says can leave the deepest impression on you. For me, when I think of Jensen, I will think of what he often said: "The puppy lied to you!" " "Why is such a childlike language? I speak slowly and you listen slowly!
The first time was in 2004, when the men's team was preparing for the Athens Olympic Games in Xiamen. At that time, Jensen was in the recovery stage after his right arm was injured. At that time, he was the "Sister Xianglin" of the whole training hall, dragging his arms and stumbling at any time. As long as someone looks at him with concern, he will come and tell you how his arm hurts and how uncomfortable it is. At that time, I just thought he was so loose! When I returned to my room and saw him being treated by the team doctor and lying in bed gnashing his teeth and not crying, I really realized how hurt he was. At that time, we took many photos of him receiving treatment. Yansen said to me: "I beg your consideration, don't broadcast my uncomfortable appearance, okay?" His purpose is just not to let his family know his pain. Can I refuse such a request?
After he was photographed for treatment, the interview began. The most terrible thing about asking and answering is that it is almost irrelevant. The Olympic Games is just around the corner. Why not say that he can't say a few words of grandiloquence hoping to win glory for his country? I can't ask questions left and right, so I will speak for him! Jensen sat on the bed and looked at me helplessly: "If you think about it, you will understand it after we get along for a long time. I can't say those cliches, I really can't! " Afraid that I wouldn't believe him, he added, "The puppy lied to you!" "At that time was defeated by YanSen! How can such a man who made a promise to you in a child's language say a heroic oath?
The second time was after I returned to Beijing from Xiamen, before the Olympic men's doubles list came out, I went to Tiantan apartment to find them. At that time, the table tennis team was against all media, and all coaches and players were not interviewed. I quietly asked YanSen how things were going. He replied that he was as ignorant as I was. Then by the way, the team rules not to accept media interviews. I began to tease him: "Jensen, I want to interview you now." What do you do? " "I will never forget his answer:" It's thoughtful, as long as you interview, I will definitely accept it. "I asked jokingly," If the team doesn't allow it, will you be interviewed? ""yes, I also accepted your interview, and the puppy lied to you! "This sentence may be a joke in other people's mouths, but I am deeply grateful as soon as he says it. Yan Sen, although we all know that this is just a promise that will not be fulfilled, I understand that you have regarded me as a friend and a trustworthy person!
Then he and Wang lost the men's doubles. After the Asian qualifiers of Athens Olympic Games, all the table tennis teams boarded the Great Wall. At the foot of the Great Wall, I saw Yan Sen, sitting in Shi Zhihao's car, a little listless. "YanSen, are you all right?" I asked. "Fine, I'm fine." YanSen replied. "Really?" "Really, the puppy lied to you!" Liu: After the Athens Olympic Games, I talked to Jensen twice and asked him to retire as a coach, but he never wanted to put down his racket. Today, he succeeded in running for coach. Sincerely bless him! Coaches and athletes are two completely different roles and two different ways of working. Generally speaking, they are from being managed to becoming managers. I have just transformed from an athlete, and it will take me some time to get used to it. But these two roles have one thing in common, that is, you need to love table tennis wholeheartedly. I think with Jensen's insistence on table tennis, he will certainly be qualified for this role!
Wang: I wish Yan Sen had retired. Based on my understanding of him, he is quite suitable to be a coach, no matter his understanding of table tennis or his personality. I wish him an early and successful transformation and become a good coach! Unfortunately, I can't play with him in the future. So far, my cooperation with him is the most tacit. Besides, I want to congratulate him on his promotion to father, but I still think he is a little too early to have a baby. Kong and this group of players of the same age are not married yet!
Liu: I think it is a reasonable idea for Yan Sen to retire. You see, he is an Olympic champion and can't be the main force. It is difficult for him to put himself in the right position when he comes down from such a high position. Coupled with his playing style and injuries, retirement has become an irresistible decision. Yan Sen is my good friend. Before and after my injury operation, he accompanied me whenever he had time. I am very grateful to him. As for his son, he is also my adopted son. That's funny! I'm so weak that I can hardly hold him! China table tennis team just retired these athletes, more or less will be influenced by Cai Zhenhua, in their mouth, "Cai Guidance" is an eternal title. From childhood to adulthood, Cai's guidance also influenced their choice of future careers to some extent. Those retired athletes who take up coaching positions seem to be following in the footsteps of their master Cai Zhenhua. Cai Zhenhua, who left the table tennis table, is no longer the seriousness of the coach, but more and more loving. But some classic pictures we have seen are always fixed in our memory.
The first act:
During the training period of preparing for the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, Jensen's right arm ligament needed to be torn due to postoperative adhesion. I don't need to tell you how detailed it is, and you know the extent of the pain. At that time, Cai Zhenhua was the head coach of China table tennis team. In front of our camera, Cai instructed him to shake the mountain and shake the tiger: "Yansen needs to endure the pain that ordinary people can't bear, and must not be afraid of pain." He must tear the ligament. Table tennis is a sport. If he doesn't tear the ligament to a normal level, he will naturally react to protect his arm when he swings, so the ball will be deformed! You tell YanSen what is terrible and painful, even if you break your arm? " The intensity of Cai's guiding tone was beyond our expectation, while Yan Sen was listening attentively at a distance of 10 meters. As a result, Jensen recovered the function of his right arm as quickly as possible.
Act II:
When Yan Sen's wife Cheng raised a glass to propose a toast to Cai, the old table tennis coach said two words earnestly: "When Yan Sen becomes a coach in the future, you must understand his wife! First of all, being a coach is not as free as being an athlete. As long as athletes don't train or compete, they have a rest day, and coaches basically don't. In addition, being a coach can't earn as much money as an athlete! " Director Cai told her personal experience!
Act III:
The day when Yan Sen's son put out the full moon wine was drawing to a close, and Cai kept holding Yan Sen's shoulder to the door. Yan Sen, who is not good at words, has too much to say to Cai, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he keeps saying: "Cai's guidance, I ... Cai's guidance, Cai's guidance ..." Cai's guidance just replies: "Yan Sen, you don't have to say it, I understand everything you have to say!"
It's early autumn in Beijing, and the wind at night has gently blown this coolness. The conversation between master and apprentice passed, and my heart warmed for a while.
