**the national coach personally instructed the "ping-pong rookie" Deng Chao to open the way to advance by playing with his left hand.

On January 12, the Spring Festival movie "the counterattack of Chinese Table Tennis" released a tidbit of Deng Chao's practice ball. As a ping-pong rookie who is about to play the former national player, Deng Chao sincerely invited Shi Zhihao, the former head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, to tailor a training program for him, and was personally instructed by Li Nan, the Asian Championship women's team, women's doubles and mixed doubles champion, thus opening the way to practice. Deng Chao's ultimate goal is to train himself to be a "left-handed player" in the same way as Cai Zhenhua during his time as a player. This goal can be called "Arabian Nights" for Deng Chao, who can't even hold his right hand at first. What shall I do? Just practice!

To play table tennis well, the first thing is to develop a sense of hand. To this end, after completing a period of basic training, Deng Chao followed the advice of the coach, playing with his right hand to find the ball and imitating Cai Zhenhua's movements with his left hand. In order to activate the flexibility of his left hand, Deng Chao also laid down a "dead rule" for himself. During filming, he had to use his left hand to eat and write, and to accustom himself to Cai Zhenhua's signature action of turning a racket. During this period, a number of ping-pong coaches took turns to coach Deng Chao to help him improve his "ball skills" rapidly. As Cai Zhenhua led a group of prototype visits, Deng Chao also ushered in a "big test"-- a direct "fight" with Tsai, who said, "look how good this is!" Finally affirmed Deng Chao's training results.

in addition to the exercise skills, there is also an "inner play" to interpret that world-class coaches need to start with "spirit"

It is not easy to interpret Cai Zhenhua well. "football skills" is only one aspect of shaping a meritorious coach. If you cannot understand Cai Zhenhua's spiritual world, the character will fall into the shackles of tangible godless. In order to present a vivid and multifaceted Cai Xinhua to the audience, Deng Chao walked towards Cai Zhenhua's "inner world" at the beginning of speculating and shaping his role.

After an in-depth study of Cai Zhenhua, Deng Chao said with emotion: "the spiritual strength I feel in guidance Cai is how people should face and solve the hurdles that seem insurmountable." When you see the way he works, you will reflect on the way you work, whether we can make the work so detailed that we can be like a general who leads troops to war. Can you, like a world champion coach, predict all the problems you might see? Everything is fully demonstrated from the best and the worst. In a game, are you ready to face all the difficulties? The more you get to know him, you can understand why he became a world-class coach. "
