The more successful Liu Guoliang became, the more he felt that the black hole formed after Kong Linghui disappeared was expanding infinitely.
On August 15, 2021, exactly one week has passed since the end of the Tokyo Olympics. Every day, looking at the various joyful news of Liu Guoliang and the Chinese table tennis team on the screen, I will think of Kong Linghui, who has disappeared for as long as four years. The more successful Liu Guoliang was, and the more flowers and applause bloomed around him, the more he felt that the black hole formed after Kong Linghui disappeared was expanding infinitely. This is not only a choking sigh, but even a kind of suffocation, making it impossible to breathe. In the morning, I saw an article reviewing Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui's brotherhood for more than 30 years, and I was once again full of emotions, so I went to the Internet to search for information about the two and prepared to write something. When I saw "The Twelve Little Things Of Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui That You Don't Know", when I looked at it, I didn't feel that my heart was hot, and I was even tearful and misty, and I couldn't help myself.
Here, the later thing about Kong Linghui and Wang Hao's cooperation in doubles will be merged with another thing to write this article "You don't know the 11 little things of Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui, such a gemini star will never be in the world again"
The first little thing: Kong Linghui told Lu Yu that when he grew up, he had only cried twice. One is to retire, and the other is to defeat Liu Guoliang in 1995 to win the World Table Tennis Championships.
One of Kong Linghui's most famous scenes in Lu Yu's interview was doing a show with his ex-girlfriend Ma Su. At that time, the relationship between Kong Linghui and Ma Su was still very good.
I don't know if this "Little Thing" is from this episode, but after Kong Linghui won the championship in 95, he and Liu Guoliang cried in the room, but it is indeed true. This matter, which has been seen in many articles, should not be a secret.
That year's World Table Tennis Championships was held in Tianjin, and the Chinese boy band played a turnaround battle, defeating the Swedish boy band 3-2 and regaining the Svethling Cup. Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui were newcomers at the time and did not appear in the team competition. Later, in the singles match, the two youngsters played well and met in the final.
For the two, the final of the meeting became a very cruel thing. The two young boys who have lived together since entering the national team are completely unprepared to meet in the final, and the two do not know how to play this game, they are blinded, and no one can play a fierce hand. The game is played awkwardly, but in the end there must be a loss and a win. Kong Linghui won the game 3-2, but he couldn't be happy at all. After the game, a reporter found that after returning to the room, the two people cried with big eyes and small eyes.
Later, the two also agreed that no matter who won the championship, the prize money would be half a point, and then later felt that this was not conducive to progress, and changed to 64 points. Such as Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui's story, the whole world table tennis is estimated not to find two more.
The second small thing: Liu Guoliang complained that Kong Linghui slept and snored like a tractor, lived together for ten years, and did not sleep well. But the coach separated them, but they had to live together.
This is really the first time I have heard of it, and I am a little surprised. First, a handsome ping-pong prince like Kong Linghui, but will he sleep like a reckless man? I can't imagine it. The second is that Liu Guoliang can really bear it, even if the coach lets them separate, they still have to live together. It shows how deep the feelings of the two are, and Liu Guoliang knows how to tolerate a person at a young age, which is really not simple.
In 1987, 11-year-old Liu Guoliang and 12-year-old Kong Linghui lived together in the national team dormitory. It is said that when the two met for the first time in the dormitory, Kong Linghui took out a bag of hawthorn slices and hawthorn pills for Liu Guoliang to eat, but immediately solemnly warned Liu Guoliang, "I like to be clean, we put our things on each side, and yours should not be placed on my side."
It is unknown how Liu Guoliang did this, but in the same dormitory, Kong Linghui's things are often neatly arranged, while Liu Guoliang's personality is more casual, the quilt is not stacked, and the clothes are not neat, which is the norm, which is a fact. It is said that it was his brother who helped Liu Guoliang clean up the most.
Although the personalities are different, the style of handling is different, and the style on the field is completely different, it cannot stop the deep brotherhood of this pair of "Gemini Stars".
The third little thing: Ma Su said that Kong Linghui did not like him much at first, because Kong Linghui said that his ideal type was a lively and cute short-haired girl of about 170, and Liu Guoliang was exactly 168cm.
The origin of Ma Su's words is unknown, perhaps indicating that Ma Su was not confident at that time. When the two of them met, Kong Linghui was a famous ping-pong prince, and Ma Su was just a small actor who had just debuted, and he looked up to Kong Linghui. Another point is to illustrate how iron the relationship between Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang is.
In fact, it is said that kong Linghui was moved by a chance to see Ma Su at that time, and went back to tell Liu Guoliang that he had a crush on a girl. Liu Guoliang gave him an idea and asked him to boldly go to Jomasu. Kong Linghui's personality is actually relatively cold (saying that introversion can also be) and arrogant, it is with the encouragement of Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui and Ma Su have a beginning, and quickly heated up, opening a love marathon for more than ten years. Unfortunately, in the end, they still parted ways. Now Ma Su has become a big actor, and Kong Linghui has become a purple sand pot enthusiast.
The fourth small thing: Liu Guoliang became a coach and told reporters that he would never reprimand Kong Linghui in public.
Liu Guoliang transformed into the head coach of the men's team in 2003 and is the youngest young coach in the history of national table tennis. Kong Linghui continued to play. From the past teammate and brother relationship to the "superior-subordinate relationship" between coaches and players, the difference in identity is destined to have a great impact on people's mentality. However, this point has not fundamentally changed in Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui. First, the two of them continued to live in a dormitory. It is hard to imagine when this point will be shelved. Even if the accommodation conditions of the national team at that time were not as good as they are now, there was no reason for the head coach and the players to live together. But they did live together.
Secondly, Kong Linghui did not feel any awkwardness at all, after completing his training, Kong Linghui will also take the initiative to help Liu Guoliang do some coaching work, which is equivalent to teaching assistant. This point must also have been instructed by Liu Guoliang. A few years later, Kong Linghui also became a coach after retiring. Kong Linghui said that in fact, he did not plan to be a coach after retiring, or was influenced by Liu Guoliang.
Liu Guoliang's management of the team is very strict, and there are various means. It is common to publicly reprimand a big player. "You're nothing but a world champion!" The team world champions are more, you can't do it, you get out! "Like that, you can find a big basket." But Liu Guoliang could not do this to Kong Linghui. Because Kong Linghui is a brother. It is not a matter of facelessness, but from the bottom of his heart, Liu Guoliang cannot treat Kong Linghui like other team members. He couldn't do it at all, and he never wanted to do it.
The fifth little thing: Kong Linghui's most iron friends are "Liu Guoliang and Liu Guoliang and his brother", and his favorite male table tennis player is Liu Guoliang.
Liu Guoliang and his brother are Liu Guodong, who joined the Chinese women's table tennis team as a sparring partner in 1994. Liu Guoliangqiu is not as good as his brother, but he has also worked as a sparring partner in the national team. As mentioned above, Liu Guoliang's living habits are relatively loose, Kong Linghui loves to be clean, but only cleans up his own things, and Liu Guodong often comes to help Liu Guoliang clean up his internal affairs.
Liu Guoliang and his brother are a particularly kind and generous man from the appearance point of view, Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang have such an iron relationship, and it is natural that the relationship with Liu Guodong is close. Nothing wrong with that. That's the way it is.
Kong Linghui is the "Prince of Ping Pong", his style of play is balanced attack and defense, smooth connection, beautiful movements; Liu Guoliang is more like a tiger descending the mountain on the field, mighty and domineering, passionate, and at the same time full of calculation and change, Kong Linghui is very appreciative. Logically, at that time, there was still a Grand Slam player Waldner in the world who had already turned table tennis into an art, but Kong Linghui still liked Liu Guoliang more from the heart.
It is said that after Liu Guoliang retired as a coach, the national team selected a doubles player for Kong Linghui, and after finding a circle of left hands, Kong Linghui chose The right-handed straight board Wang Hao as his new partner. Why? Only because Kong Linghui felt that in Wang Hao,000, he could still find the shadow of Liu Guoliang playing in that year. But in fact, it was not until three years after they cooperated that Kong Linghui once said: I just found a little feeling of cooperation with Liu Guoliang.
The sixth little thing: Liu Guoliang may not know, Kong Linghui is not stupid at all, smart enough to be a professional athlete school when he was a child to go directly to the home to stop. His favorite subject is mathematics, comprehensive in technology and precise in calculations, and he is good at poker.
Liu Guoliang didn't say kong Linghui was stupid, right? Of course not. But Liu Guoliang should have said: "As long as I said it, Xiaohui always felt right!" He believes everything I say! So it seems that the fans think Kong Linghui is a bit stupid? Or is it a bit silly in Liu Guoliang's place.
In the national team, marlene can play poker well, and Marlene is definitely one. It is said that Marlene once signed up for the Landlord Contest, and the results are unknown, but Marlene is definitely a master in this. Once in the London Olympics, because he always won, wu Jingping's coaching was won in a hurry, and he yelled at Marlene: "Play and play, how do you always win?" Get me out! "Haha!
How good Kong Linghui is in this way is not much reported, but for Kong Linghui, who loves mathematics and can always have a clear line on the field, he is of course a person with a high IQ. He believed in Liu Guoliang so much because Liu Guoliang was equally excellent and looked at the problem more thoroughly. Kong Linghui trusted Liu Guoliang very much, so he did.
The seventh little thing: Kong Linghui told fans in the past that he could never be a coach, and then he really became a coach. Kong Linghui admitted that this aspect was influenced by Liu Guoliang.
Although Kong Linghui's coaching career is not as brilliant as Liu Guoliang's, the process is also more tortuous. In 2006, he retired and became a team coach, until 2013, after Shi Zhihao retired, Kong Linghui officially became the head coach of the women's team, and the Olympic games only took rio in 2016, which is incomparable with Liu Guoliang since 2004, but Kong Linghui has also made greater contributions in coaching. The most famous players trained by him are Guo Yue and Liu Shiwen.
The reason why Kong Linghui felt that he could not be a coach before retiring was probably based on his personality and other plans for the future. Or that he did not consider the future at that time, and the reason why he stayed in the national team as a coach after retiring is of course inseparable from Liu Guoliang. The two have been together for many years, and the impact of their careers has been deeply rooted in the marrow, and the national men's and women's teams brought up by the two of them have become the best table tennis teams in the world.
Eighth little thing: Liu Guoliang said that his most memorable thing was that Kong Linghui hugged him and cried after winning the championship in 1995, while Kong Linghui said that his most memorable thing was playing a game of throwing orange peels with Liu Guoliang twenty years ago.
In 1995, Kong Linghui hugged Liu Guoliang and cried after winning the championship, saying that he was not happy and that he did not want to win. This has already been said above. This is the most memorable thing for Liu Guoliang, and it also reflects the depth of the brotherhood between the two. Kong Linghui's heart must have remembered this incident, but his most memorable thing was to play the game of throwing orange peels with Liu Guoliang twenty years ago.
Here, Kong Linghui looks more pure. In the depths of his heart, when he was a teenager, he learned to play ball together and lived together, and the most beautiful and unforgettable thing was the carefree carefree without any utilitarian thoughts when the two teenagers threw orange peel games. The burner of time has left the pure sunshine of that time and the carefree laughter of the young teenager.
A gust of wind blew and the picture was blown away.
The ninth little thing:
At a certain event, the host asked Liu Guoliang: Is Kong guiding good?
Liu Guoliang: "Well-behaved, how well-behaved!" ”
Kong Linghui: I was not married until I was 42 years old.
Athlete career, "Gemini stars" shine together, are grand slams, comparable. In his coaching career, Liu Guoliang was more successful than Kong Linghui. In terms of family, Liu Guoliang and his wife Wang Jin met in the Chinese national table tennis team, they both come from a table tennis family, and they all have an extreme love for table tennis. The union of the two is also natural, and now there are two daughters, and the family is happy and happy.
Kong Linghui was middle-aged and still alone. When people are young, they think less and are young and fearless. With the increase of age, the desire for family life will also increase day by day, Kong Linghui's words are also the truth of the heart. Today, the Masu who has walked with him for more than ten years is still single, but the two are people living in two different worlds, and they can only get farther and farther apart, and there will be no more intersection. Maybe it's character, maybe it's fate.
The tenth little thing: Liu Guoliang was lonely a lot after he became a coach. In the past, when you were bored, you could play with Rakon Linghui, but now you can't do this, and you can only drink outside alone. The more I drink, the lonelier I get: how am I alone?
Although Liu Guoliang became a coach, he still regarded Kong Linghui as a brother. He said he would never publicly rebuke Kong Linghui. But after all, the identity is different. The changes brought about by the difference in identity are also becoming more and more obvious. Liu Guoliang was a coach at the age of 27, too young. I had to hold a little shelf and not get too close to the players, otherwise it would be detrimental to the management of the team. Liu Guoliang was also very distressed. Perhaps that period of time was also the most difficult time for Liu Guoliang.
The eleventh little thing: Liu Guoliang has kissed many people, Wang Hao, Ma Long, Zhang Jike, but he has not kissed Kong Linghui, who has the best relationship.
Liu Guoliang is a person with rich emotions and a temperament that likes to express. At the Rio Olympic Games, when Ma Long and Zhang Jike won the victory, Liu Guoliang could not hide his excitement and kissed ma Long and Zhang Jike's foreheads in front of the world.
Liu Guoliang will also use his face to express his love and appreciation for the team members. For example, to Wang Hao, to Fan Zhendong. But Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui had too many mutual encouragements on the field and hugging and celebrating after victory.
Today, Liu Guolianggui is the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, the head of the Chinese table tennis team, and the spiritual leader. For the cause of national table tennis can be described as a bloody, bowed to the fullest, such efforts and contributions have also brought Liu Guoliang a huge social reputation and reputation, and the teenager who has not forgotten the orange peel game together twenty years ago, although he now has to hide the rivers and lakes, mencolo finch, but believe that in the depths of the two people's hearts, no matter how the world changes, what can not be changed will still be a lifetime of brotherly affection.
