Ping Pong Life

Chapter 166 The Birth of Crouching Dragon
October 2th, the second day of the T[-] Diamond Invitational.

As expected, today's arena is more crowded than yesterday's. It is almost full of seats. The stands are waving flags, and a large number of Sakura Country fans enter the arena with water birds and eagles. Even though today's opening game is not water birds and eagles, they still shout Saying the name of the waterfowl eagle is like carnival.

They are really excited, because all the coaches, experts, players and other industry insiders in Sakura's country are constantly telling these fans: Today's game must be won.

The opportunity to violently beat Chinese table tennis players is rare, especially the violent beating staged under his nose is once in a thousand years.

All of them came running to witness this historic scene.

At eight o'clock, the match began. The first match, Lu Feiyang vs. Zhuang Huishen.

Standing at the end of the court, Zhuang Huishen was very calm.

He is 38 years old this year, and he is the second oldest player present, second only to Christian Hart, who came to travel.

He has participated in four Olympic Games, and it can be said that he has seen all the big scenes. The game in front of him is everything to a newcomer, but to him, it is like answering a call from a friend temporarily, and going out to deal with a nasty Light meal.

He is not a payer, nor is he really invited, he is just a companion.

So he looked a little listless, like an old lion.

But when the referee blew his whistle and entered the court, Zhuang Huishen's eyes sharpened suddenly.

He glanced at the opposite side and saw Lu Feiyang's face full of excitement and eagerness to try.

Zhuang Hui felt bored deep down in his heart.

He could see what Lu Feiyang wanted to do.

Isn't it just stepping on my head to become famous?

The question is, in the past ten years, how many people have tried to step on my head and become famous?
In the end, who is successful?

The older he gets, the more clearly Zhuang Huishen sees the situation in the table tennis world. He has been in various international competitions for many years and has played against all the players in the world. Many people were still players when they met last time. When you arrive, you become a coach.

Because he has played for too long, and has been active in the front line for nearly 20 years, Zhuang Huishen has a clear understanding of the strength, style of play, style, advantages and disadvantages of all well-known players in the world.

He is a true living fossil.

This time to play T2, he has a clear positioning for himself from the beginning.

He can't beat the water bird eagle, and he can't beat Zhu Shixian either.

In fact, he and Lin Zijun were victorious against each other, because they practiced together for a long time, and he knew that Lin Zijun had weaknesses, but the whole world has not yet discovered what Lin Zijun's weaknesses are.

After watching yesterday afternoon's game, he found that Wang Chao was also difficult for him to beat.

In addition, there is another x factor, that is Zhang Benkuang, a genius boy from Sakura Country. This kid is very strange and his performance is extremely unstable, but in his historical record, there are a few games where the upper limit is surprisingly high. Zhuang Huishen thought she couldn't stop it.

Other than that, Zhuang Huishen felt that they were nothing to worry about.

For example, Lu Feiyang on the opposite side of the table.

"Want to step on my head? Hehe."

He is here as a companion, but not as a backup. The old lion can accept a tiger showing off his power in front of him, but he does not allow a hyena to show his teeth and claws around him.

The referee enters the field, guesses coins, and Zhuang Huishen gets the right to serve.

Lao Zhuang opened the game with a high toss, and then sent a fast and spinning running ball, which hit the bottom line of the table in front of Lu Feiyang.

This is not stealing, this is posted clearly, representing Lao Zhuang's temper.

Zhuang Huishen has never been a good man. In his heyday, he had his eyes high above everything. He once said in an interview: "One day I will step down all my contemporaries and become the first in the history of Bay Island. Grand Slam".

When he was young, fighting, drinking, making trouble, picking up girls, nightclubs, he did all kinds of crazy things. If those things were in the Huaping National Team, he would have been kicked out of the team just like Qiu Yinong.

But he beat Wang Wendong and Sun Tianlong, how could the Bay Island coach be willing to drive him away?
His temper is still hot in middle age. In the first half of this year, he had a serious fight with Jiang Peirong, the head coach of the Bay Island Table Tennis Association, because he was rejected by the Bay Island Table Tennis Association for training. Everyone knows that Zhuang Huishen then unilaterally announced his withdrawal from the Bay Island Table Tennis Association, and will only go abroad to play in his own name.

But so what?

When the T2 Diamond Tournament started, Jiang Peirong had to pinch his nose and obediently find someone to say good things to him, asking him to take Lin Zijun abroad to compete as a senior?

Wandao is a big fart place, and there have been no masters for more than ten years. Zhuang Huishen was sent to the imperial capital by his mother at the age of 13, and then entered the training of the Huaguo National Second Team with his excellent talent. Not weaker than today's Lu Feiyang.

When Zhuang Huishen returned to Wandao and began to represent Wandao in the World Series, he has always been the face of Wandao. Unknowingly, nearly 20 years have passed, and he is still the face of Wandao.

If Lin Zijun hadn't been born, he would have been the face of Wandao until he retired.

So what he wants today is a hearty unilateral beating.

As the No.25 in the test of the Huaping National Second Team 1 years ago, he has to educate this junior on the other side of the table.

As soon as he sent the ball, he was ready to be attacked by Lu Feiyang.

But he is not afraid, because what he is best at is the fast intra-table confrontation and the absolutely violent front three boards. This is his stunt that has stood in the world table tennis for more than 20 years.

He belongs to the old-school players, and he took the path of killing people in the first three boards.

Lu Feiyang was surprised when he ran to the ball.

After all, Lu Feiyang has never played in an international competition. Although he has competed with players of various genres in the team, the players around the table are all familiar teammates and coaches. He didn't expect the ball to encounter such a high-quality running ball suddenly.

Didn't the coach say that in international competitions, everyone uses short backspin?
But the young man has inexhaustible physical energy and a surprisingly fast nerve response speed. He retreated hastily, but found that he still couldn't catch up, so he squatted down forcibly, his arms were clamped, and it was too late to spread out. As his body twisted forward, he insisted on using The clumsy posture pulled the running ball hard.

The ball was shot, and Wang Chao, who was watching the game, couldn't help admiring secretly.

Lu Feiyang is full of provocative desires day by day, and he is indeed capable, not blind and arrogant.

Although the pull was ugly, it had to be said that the quality was extremely high. Not only did it not create opportunities for the opponent because of the hasty save, but it directly formed an extremely beautiful looping ball.

Originally, Lao Zhuang was supposed to succeed in the sneak attack, but because Lu Feiyang's extreme save was too beautiful, he got the initiative instead.

Lao Zhuang stood firmly in front of the stage. Facing the heavy loop ball, he didn't take half a step back. He directly raised his arm and swung it hard. It turned out to be the rising stage of the ball.

This is also different from most players.

Facing heavy loop balls, the most conventional method is to retreat first, and then pull when the ball falls from the highest point, which can improve the stability of pulling the ball, but the consequence of this is that it will directly enter the stalemate in the middle stage, and the depth is too deep. Big, the speed of the ball on both sides slowed down.

But what Lao Zhuang is most praised for is actually his super fast reaction speed. In his peak period, many balls were often pulled past the opponent without even moving, and he couldn't react at all.

This time he still played the head shot, so the speed was still surprisingly fast. The sound of the ball falling on the table and the sound of hitting the racket were almost indistinguishable.

At this time, there was a low exclamation from the audience, because the ball was also very gorgeous in visual effects, and almost only the afterimage could be seen, and it had already run from one end of the table to the other end of the table.

The vast majority of people felt that the ball was there, including the professional players watching the game.

But Lu Feiyang also took a step forward at this time.

Yes, facing a ball that was approaching a terrifying speed, his first reaction was not to step back to buy time for himself, but to take a step forward.

Then he swung his arm with the racket and slammed it out, hitting a headed ball.

If Lao Zhuang's ball is fast and abrupt enough, then Lu Feiyang's ball is faster and more abrupt. Most importantly, he is unconventional thinking.

Lao Zhuang is undoubtedly a player with conventional thinking.

So he was blinded for a moment and didn't understand the situation. Then he reacted and stepped back quickly to save the ball.

But it was too late.

Because Lu Feiyang's ultra-fast backhand shot was accompanied by a change of line, and it was directly pulled to Lao Zhuang's backhand at a large angle. It was useless for Lao Zhuang to retreat, he had to run to the left.

The next moment the ball hit the ground, the referee blew his whistle, and the score on the electronic scoreboard jumped to 1:0. There was a second pause in the audience, and then the audience reacted and began to applaud enthusiastically.

The applause lasted for a long time, because they couldn't even react to the ball, what kind of arrogance should it be?

Lu Feiyang stood in front of the stage with high spirits and high spirits, crossing his feet on the ground and jumping briskly, keeping his body in the best activity, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

He is not afraid of playing in a field with tens of thousands of people. In fact, the more people there are, the more excited he is. He is crazy like Geng Shuai. Inside Huaping, the coaches all agree that he is that kind of competitive player.

Lao Zhuang's first serve really surprised him, but because he was sweating just now, he felt his whole body mobilized now.

He is at his best!
In the training base of the Huaping National Team, the bosses drank tea instead of playing cards today.

"Lu Feiyang is still good." Zhu Zeshi expressed his satisfaction: "The response from the cafeteria is that this kid eats a catty of beef every meal, and he only eats tendon meat, which is very difficult to deal with... His physical fitness did not come out of thin air. of."

Qin Huachang couldn't see his embarrassment, he laughed and said: "Don't rush to praise, I know this kid very well, you should scold him after a while."

Zhu Zeshi glared at him, feeling helpless: "I hope he will be a little smarter today."

On the court, Zhuang Huishen became very cautious, and he sent a very standard short backspin.

He wants to try to fight against Lu Feiyang.

Lu Feiyang swayed short.

Zhuang Huishen made it short again.

Lu Feiyang refused to swing again, he threw the ball directly to the bottom line of Lao Zhuang's forehand position.

At this moment, Lao Zhuang was a little angry, because he could see Lu Feiyang's intentions.

This arrogant kid deliberately sent the ball to the forehand, which is to show that the forehand that bullies Lao Zhuang can't kill anyone.

And he refused to continue fighting because he was focused on taking Lao Zhuang directly within 24 minutes.

So he didn't want to waste time fighting each other.

Zhuang Huishen turned sideways and rushed with a "crack".

This board is exactly eight points, no more, no less.

If there is more, he is afraid that the next board will not be able to keep up.

If it was less, he was afraid that the power of this board would not be enough.

This is a mature style unique to veterans. No matter what emotions are in their hearts, they will play in the most rational way.

As soon as Zhuang Huishen attacked, Lu Feiyang retreated immediately, and then pulled a heavy arc back forcefully.

Zhuang Huishen knew a long time ago that one blow could not kill anyone, so he was prepared for another blow.

Lu Feiyang also retaliated.

This ball was played into a standard middle-table stalemate, and both sides' balls were high. It stands to reason that anyone can take the initiative to make a fierce and explosive charge.

But both of them refused to rush forward, they just used eighty percent of their strength to see back and forth.

After another five boards, Zhuang Huishen was weak in follow-up and was pulled through by Lu Feiyang.

2: 0.

At this moment, many players watching the match changed their faces.

They could see that Zhuang Huishen really lost in hard power.

That is to say, Lu Feiyang, a Chinese table tennis player who was not favored by anyone before the game, and who had no artificial potential, the real strength of this underage kid is already higher than that of the 38-year-old Zhuang Huishen.

The first ball was played with the young man's vigor and lightning-fast reflexes.

The second ball is about the stability of continuous power in the official game.

Lu Feiyang took the lead across the board.

Next it was Lu Feiyang's turn to serve.

He tosses high and delivers a heavy, fast run.

At this moment, Qin Huachang, who was far away at the training base of the national team in the imperial capital, had already laughed "haha".

Zhu Zeshi also stroked his forehead with his hands, looking a little helpless.

The bosses could all see what Lu Feiyang was doing.

The saying of high EQ is called repaying others with the same way, and the saying of low EQ is called young people must pay back.

Lao Zhuang stole a favor from him, and he would also steal a favor from Lao Zhuang, otherwise he would feel incomprehensible.

The bosses feel that this bad habit must be changed, otherwise it will definitely suffer in the future.

But in fact, the effect of running the ball is not bad.

Zhuang Huishen did not expect that Lu Feiyang would sneak attack when he had the advantage. After the two balls just now, he subconsciously thought that Lu Feiyang was a player with basic skills.

So the ball was scored directly, and Lao Zhuang went to catch it after a little hesitation, and directly caught the empty ball.

3: 0.

For the fourth ball, Lu Feiyang made a short backspin.

Lao Zhuang swings short.

Lu Feiyang still refused to put it on, and directly left the bottom line of Lao Zhuang's forehand position.

Lao Zhuang still rushed to attack directly, but this time he didn't spare any effort, and directly rushed to the limit with a single board.

But even if it was an extreme burst, Lu Feiyang still blocked the ball back.

This time Lu Feiyang didn't have time to pull back, he just erected the racket and turned it back, as if pushing to block, the ball bounced back as fast as Lao Zhuang used as much force.

This ball killed Lao Zhuang again.

In just 2 minutes, the score directly became 4:0.

Lu Feiyang played this game very satisfied, and felt that he was in a brave state. Presumably, the teacher who was far away in the imperial capital was also very happy to see it?Once the teacher is happy, maybe he will have more chances to go out to compete in the first half of next year, so Hey Sen, so Hey Sen.

He didn't know that Zhu Zeshi wanted to beat him...

"It's okay." Wang Lu comforted Zhu Zeshi: "No matter how he fights, it's still no problem to win against an opponent who is only a second-rate opponent. And the fight just now, at least it feels good."

Said it was consolation, but looking at the gloating in his eyes, he was obviously watching Zhu Zeshi's joke.

After all, the kid on the screen should be taken by Zhu Zeshi for at least the next ten years. The more problems this kid has now, the more Zhu Zeshi will have to worry about in the future.

Zhu Zeshi glanced at him, and said leisurely: "I'm not worried about this match, but I'm afraid that he will become the second Baifeng."

Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, and immediately stopped gloating.

Thinking about his uneasy apprentice, who obviously has a super high upper limit and can definitely rank in the top three among the five main players, but a few days ago, he was abused by Wang Chao, who had just reached the first-class level, the more he thought about it. more uncomfortable.

The most irritating thing is that Bai Feng is still not convinced. After Wang Lu carefully analyzed all the routines of that round, he thought for a while, and finally asked a word in a daze: "Then if I can practice as long as Brother Long? At this level, no matter how I fight, he can't count on me anymore?"

Wang Lu told him to leave at that time, because he found that Bai Feng didn't understand the crux of the matter at all.

I'm telling you to play smarter in the future, not to keep practicing hard! Hey!
What about the brain?
……

Zhuang Huishen and Lu Feiyang really didn't play for 24 minutes.

After 4:0, Zhuang Huishen played very rigorously and relaxed. He made various attempts, such as giving up the attack when Lu Feiyang threw the long ball from the baseline, and continued to swing back, trying to be more patient with Lu Feiyang, but was rejected. Lu Feiyang found an opportunity, and directly beat him to death in the stage.

Then he tried to directly enter the defensive mode of COSCO and Taiwan, to see how Lu Feiyang can attack, and then he found that Lu Feiyang is not a kid who can only use deadly force, he can also change lines and hang short, and he I can't run anymore.

So Zhuang Huishen simply returned to his comfort zone and tried to use violence to solve the problem, but the problem was still the same. He couldn't beat Lu Feiyang. When exhausted, Lu Feiyang can take advantage of the situation to fight back.

So in the end, he really resigned to his fate.

He has to admit that he is no longer the super-class player he was back then. Now he is just an ordinary first-class player in the international table tennis world. His world ranking beyond 30 is a true portrayal of his strength. , Defense and other aspects are completely crushed.

The timer was finally fixed at 7 minutes and 34 seconds. Zhuang Huishen played very quickly and did not waste time. He was defeated by Lu Feiyang in four consecutive rounds within 16 minutes. The scores were 11:6, 11:5, 11:3 and 11:1, one game is not as good as one game, and the last game almost collapsed.

After the game was over, Zhuang Huishen walked off the court. Lin Zijun was worried and wanted to comfort him, but Zhuang Huishen smiled at him with a calm expression, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lin Zijun didn't believe it, but was still worried.

"I'm really fine." Zhuang Huishen had to explain seriously: "I'm not like Zhu Shixian, who always holds unrealistic expectations... I came here this time to accompany the runners and make some money by the way, but this time I'm here There are more masters than I expected."

He paused, and said with a smile: "At first, I thought it was you and Shuiniaoying who would compete for the championship this time, but now it seems that both Wang Chao and Lu Feiyang have a chance to compete for the championship."

Lin Zijun took it for granted, and said softly, "That's Hua Ping..."

So Zhuang Huishen also sighed: "Yes, it is Huaping after all..."

　Brothers, this plot should actually be updated, and there is still a recommendation, but a very close elder passed away, and the news came quite suddenly, so now I am in Jingzhou, and it takes four or five days to finish it, so I just It can be updated twice a day, and I will continue to add updates after I come back.

　　All I can say is, fortunately, I have a manuscript.
