Ping Pong Life

Chapter 163 Move Like a Mad Dog
Zhu Shixian couldn't bear it...

In fact, his mentality has always been quite good. As a chipper, if he had a bad mentality when playing, he would have caused a heart attack by himself.

But he still couldn't bear it.

Although he played chop, he didn't want to play fast5 in this game. After all, fast5 has too many variables, and he feels that he is the dominant side, so he naturally hopes to win in the regular mode.

At this time, he chipped a ball, peeked at the timer, and found that it had reached 22 minutes and 37 seconds.

In other words, the second ball has been played for a full minute...

If we continue to play like this, after 24 minutes, can we finish two rounds?
Yoshikawa Oki coughed lightly on the sidelines, feeling a kind of ballsy sadness that was different from Zhu Shixian's.

He was in charge of arranging the time of this game, but he never dreamed that the ball would be played like this. He was a little worried that the next game would be seriously delayed.

He took out his small notebook and wrote it down. A rule must be added in the next stop. Even if it is not a match between two chippers, the number of rounds must not exceed 20, followed by a parenthesis note: except for stalemate balls.

China TV Sports Channel, Grasshopper was forced to start talking nonsense.

He is actually a very good commentator with comprehensive professional ability. The biggest advantage is that he can talk about everything, from basketball, football, volleyball, featherweight, to rugby, ice hockey, goalball, hockey, but there is nothing he does not understand if it is round.

And his biggest shortcoming is that he is not proficient in everything and can only speak a little bit.

At this moment, he can't understand the mystery of the 1-minute-long mutual shortening. He just feels like seeing a stuck tape, the same picture repeats infinitely, infinitely rewinds, very similar to Wumao special effects in domestic martial arts movies where a move is repeated three times.

He thought of running in the sunset, that was his lost youth, a kind of retro sadness made his eyes moist, and he just wanted to let go.

But he can't be silent yet, because silence is Cambridge tonight... oh no, because Yi Jing is already crazy. After Li Zhengzhi and Lin Zijun finished fighting for nearly four and ten minutes, he began to recall emotionally such things as Yingzhi and Dancypress. The past and present of the racket and its ins and outs.

It was actually very professional, but the timing was wrong.

So Grasshopper could only forcefully find something to say: "Okay, this chip is good, Zhu Shixian is worthy of being the world's number one chipper."

"Okay, the ball is well placed, what's so good about it? Fortunately, it's short enough."

"It's another wonderful chip. You can see that this ball seems to be exactly the same as the last one. In fact, it is different. Where is the difference? You can observe carefully for yourself. I won't be too professional, lest You don't understand."

"Wang Chao is still swinging short. From the scene, Wang Chao is a little behind, because the ball he swings is not enough to spin, and the ball that Zhu Shixian cuts is very spin. This makes Wang Chao unable to take the initiative to attack. He can only wait. Zhu Shixian made a mistake."

"But Wang Chao doesn't know, Zhu Shixian is very good at attacking. If this continues, Zhu Shixian will always find an opportunity."

"It can only be said that it is still very difficult for rookies to face veterans, especially veterans who cut the ball."

At this moment, in front of a certain card table, Zhu Zeshi "slapped" all the cards in front of him down, first shouted "All in one color, draw yourself", and then said in a rather stern tone: "China TV Sports' commentary is really not as good as one What's wrong, this kind of international competition, you have to pick someone who knows a little bit... This kid, after watching the lottery in the morning, I was sweating for him, but he performed so well, and he can play such a sophisticated ball. Even I couldn't help but want to give it a thumbs up, why did it become a big bad in the commentator's mouth?"

Qin Huachang squinted at him: "It's almost there, Lao Zhu, didn't you see that Lao He's mouth is split behind his ears? If you continue to boast, I'm afraid he will float up on the spot."

He Jingping could hardly stretch himself anymore, but he still held it back, and said solemnly: "What do you think this kid is thinking? Are you really going to drag it to fast5?"

He was good at talking about skills, but really not good at talking about people's hearts. Seeing that Wang Chao's style of play at the moment was clearly comparing patience with Zhu Shixian, he couldn't understand it, so he had to turn to the three people's hearts in front of him for help.

Wang Lu remained silent, smiled without saying a word, and looked at the cards quietly.

Cai Guodong didn't even bother to look at the TV screen, as if he had already made up his mind, and the temperament of the head coach was very well controlled.

So in the end, it was his senior brother Zhu Zeshi who answered his doubts: "In this game, the point is not how long a ball will be played, nor whether we should decide whether to win or lose in fast5, but when Zhu Shixian's state is really good. Something went wrong... Do you understand?"

He Jingping seemed to understand, but nodded.

……

Zhu Shixian adjusted his mentality again.

He was a little irritable five seconds ago, and then a cold sweat broke out on his back, realizing that his emotions were dangerous.

Therefore, he completely killed his impatience in the shortest possible time, and regained his original calm attitude.

He accompanied Wang Chao to slice the ball slowly.

The more you cut it, the more you feel that Wang Chao is a little scary.

He had never seen a man with such a tight swing.

You know, with his chopping skills at the moment, even if the chopping looks exactly the same, it may contain completely different strength and spin, but no matter how he changes, Wang Chao can swing the ball back, and swing it to the right position. Almost exactly the same location.

Neither to the left nor to the right, right in the middle, near that invisible central axis.

Because if you lean to the left, you may be forcibly twisted with a backhand, and if you lean to the right, you may be forcibly hit with a forehand. Only in the middle position is the opponent unable to lift the board.

So Zhu Shixian also cut more and more stable.

The ball flew back and forth slowly, each time it landed almost on the invisible central axis, and before you knew it, another half a minute passed.

The audience had already started to yawn, and there were low booing sounds coming from all directions.

Yoshikawa Oki was so angry that he wanted to rush over to forcefully terminate the match, but considering that it was a live broadcast, considering the international impact, and the costs paid by the National Table Tennis Association for hosting the T-League, he did not dare to act recklessly.

As for the onlookers, their moods were completely different from those of ordinary audiences.

They are nervous.

The more rounds the ball has, the more nervous they become, because in a sense, this kind of short-ball battle in the table is actually similar to holding the ball in the COSCO table.

The stalemate between COSCO and Taiwan is about the balance and continuity under the force of the body.

The shorter the platform, the more the stability and continuity of the wrist and arm under fine control.

Both are like a taut bowstring, the difference is that once the former breaks, it shows that a certain player pulls the ball out of bounds.

And once the latter breaks, it will show that a certain player makes a serious mistake in returning the ball, or takes a high shot, or goes out of bounds, or gets off the net.

So now, Wang Chao and Zhu Shixian seem to be able to play forever, but the invisible bowstring is actually getting tighter and tighter, to the point where it will break at any time.

At this time, Wang Chao's return of the ball suddenly took a slight risk.

It looks like after a high-intensity continuous possession of the ball, there are some small flaws in the fineness of the force.

This is considered a flaw, but the flaw is so small that it is almost fleeting, and it is even difficult to tell whether this is a problem with Wang Chao's stability.

But Zhu Shixian keenly grasped this flaw.

Without hesitation, he leaned forward with his upper body, turned the racket from horizontal to tilted, inserted it obliquely into the bottom of the ball, turned his wrist forcefully, and suddenly made a fierce kick.

With a sound of "snap", the ball hit the net and spun slightly. Because the force was strong enough, it almost crawled over the net, but in the end it still failed and fell on the spot.

The challenge failed and Wang Chao scored.

The score became 2:0.

At this moment, most people in the audience couldn't help letting out a breath, and then suddenly realized that they had held their breath for a long time without knowing it.

Looking at the time again, it was already counting down 22 minutes and 17 seconds.

The caddy quickly picked up the ball and threw it to Wang Chao. On the other side of the table, Zhu Shixian raised his head with an ugly expression and took a deep look at Wang Chao.

He is 28 years old, ranked 12th in the world and No. [-] in China in Kimchi. He is the oldest active player in the Kimchi country, the most patient player, and the most intelligent player.

So after the challenge failed, he suddenly realized that he was still following Wang Chao's way.

Wang Chao's slightly high ball was not a problem with stability, but a deliberate one to lure him to take the initiative to hit it.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Shixian would never choose to hit that extremely difficult ball.

But the two of them had gone through too many rounds just now. Although Zhu Shixian had been telling himself to be careful, unconsciously, his mentality was still affected, but he didn't realize it.

So when the slightest opportunity appeared, he subconsciously thought that this opportunity was very rare and must be tried.

But in fact, the ball asked him to pick ten times, and he could succeed at most twice.

Zhu Shixian directly made a pause gesture at this moment.

Although the T2 Diamond Race is wonderful, there is also a chance to pause for 15 seconds. This is the only exception that is not included in the 24-minute countdown.

So the timer stopped instantly, and Zhu Shixian didn't leave the table at all.

15 seconds is not enough for him to communicate with the coach, and he doesn't need to drink water, he just wants more time to be quiet.

After all, what he felt from Wang Chao's seductive opening just now was a certain kind of deep and sophisticated gloomy atmosphere.

This made him feel in a daze that what he was facing was not an 18-year-old boy, but a 40-year-old antique.

This feeling made him even a little scared, and he had to take these 15 seconds to stabilize his mind.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath continuously, discarded the illusion just now, opened his eyes again after hearing the referee's whistle, squatted down slightly, and waited for Wang Chao to serve.

Wang Chao directly stole the long.

He knows that Zhu Shixian is a very good offensive cutter, but he wants to steal the long, and what he steals is the forehand position that Zhu Shixian is best at attacking.

Zhu Shixian hesitated for a tenth of a second at this moment.

Because the idea of ​​forcefully charging had just appeared in his heart, and the scene of being calculated just now flashed through his mind like lightning, making him instinctively feel the breath of conspiracy.

"You deliberately took the lead to lure me into a fight."

"Then why did you steal my forehand on purpose? To lure me into a burst?"

"But... what's the problem with my explosive charge?"

Zhu Shixian couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it. In fact, he just hesitated for a moment, and he lost the chance to make an explosive charge, so he could only slice the ball back hard.

This time, chipped a long backspin that was sure to come.

This is also impossible, after all, Wang Chao's stealing speed is extremely fast and powerful, and he hastily sliced ​​the ball after hesitation. Under such circumstances, it is too difficult to control the ball into the table.

Wang Chao didn't hesitate at all, and directly attacked sideways, and with a "snap", he pulled out a fast and sharp heavy looping ball.

Zhu Shixian was not afraid of the arc, he stepped back and cut back.

Wang Chao draws again.

Zhu Shixian cut it again.

Wang Chao rushed backhand, Zhu Shixian cut backhand.

Wang Chao punched his forehand, Zhu Shixian cut his forehand.

So far, Zhu Shixian has not been at a disadvantage in the scene. Although it seems that Wang Chao is attacking and he is defending, in fact, he is a chipper who is playing like this when he plays against others.

The most common scoring method for chippers is to let the attacker pull the ball off the net after many attacks and commit suicide.

At this moment, even Kimchi's domestic commentator was saying: "Okay, the game has finally entered the mode that player Zhu Shixian is best at. Player Zhu Shixian once created an amazing record of consecutive defenses against thirteen rebounds. Players who are good at defense and counterattack have already stepped into the super-class field with one foot, and we have reason to believe that with this ball, the leader of the six little dragons in Huaguo will lose the first point of this game."

At the same time he finished his sentence, Wang Chao pulled Zhu Shixian through.

The score became 3:0.

Kimchi Country's commentator had just finished the previous sentence, and before he could close his mouth, he answered "Axiba" by the way.

At this moment, many Sakura Country fans in the auditorium began to shout and cheer loudly.

Cherry Blossoms are by nature obsessive and strong. When domestic players compete with foreign players, they tend to be inclined, but when two foreign players face off, they will show quite good sportsmanship and cheer for the wonderful performance of both sides.

How boring the short swing just now is, how exciting the continuous pull is now.

Only Zhu Shixian broke out in a cold sweat again.

It would be fine if he was simply more stupid and didn't know what Wang Chao wanted to do.

It would be best if he was simply smarter and could understand what Wang Chao wanted to do in advance.

However, he was always belatedly aware of Wang Chao's intentions only after Wang Chao succeeded.

It doesn't help, and it just adds to the depression.

This time, he also understood Wang Chao's intentions.

It turned out that the first stealer really didn't have any conspiracy, and could really explode directly.

But he was intimidated by the previous ball. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Wang Chao was full of tricks and there must be a conspiracy, so he didn't dare to make a move.

As a result, he lost the opportunity and became Wang Chao's active attack.

Up to this point, he didn't think there was a problem, because he was so used to receiving the opponent's loop ball.

But this time, Wang Chao really relied on his strength to pull him through.

There is no superfluous conspiracy.

All of Wang Chao's calculations were just to get an offensive initiative, and when he got it, he pulled him through.

It's that simple.

In front of the whole world, Wang Chao is using hard power to prove how strong his offensive ability is.

He was telling Zhu Shixian nakedly: Don't fight back against me, you can guard against others, but you can't guard against me.

Not only can I be as steady as an old dog, but I can also move like a mad dog.

　Thanks for the 1500 coin reward from "I was once a king".

　　Thanks to "Brother Qilin" for the reward of 500 coins.

　　Thanks to "Autumn Wind House" and "Purple Kitten" for their 100 coin reward.
