Ping Pong Life

Chapter 173
Zhang Benkuang sent a short backspin.

He was also a little bit overwhelmed by Lin Zijun's actions, so he thought of playing it safe first.

He didn't even dare to send Lin Zijun backhand with this ball, but went slightly to the right.

But Lin Zijun started immediately, moved his body to the right, then leaned forward, flipped his wrist sharply, inserted the racket obliquely, and twisted his backhand without hesitation.

This twist really showed his demeanor in the battle with Luo Jiu last month.

The quality of this ball is extremely high, because it is a ball that can hardly be twisted, but he not only twisted it, but also changed the line directly to Zhang Benkuang's forehand angle.

Zhang Benkuang walked fast, but he didn't dare to shoot the ball directly because it was too low.

He could barely pull a high-hanging arc.

It is said that it is a high-hanging arc, but it is not high. It should be said that Zhang Benkuang's defense is in place.

But Lin Zijun's state at this time is completely different from before. He moves surprisingly fast. The ball is obviously pulled to his backhand position, but he doesn't use his signature backhand twist. He is running faster than the ball at this moment. He ran directly to the left side of the ball, then swung his arm and pulled the ball fiercely, making a standard forehand burst.

This is a board that must be won, representing his determination to score.

Snapped!
Although he is not good at strength, but the ball was sent with all its strength, and the power was still great. Zhang Benkuang pressed the racket down hard, but still couldn't hold it down. The ball landed on the racket, soaring high into the sky, and then Landed from the side.

2:4, Lin Zijun recovers one point.

There was no applause around, but Lin Zijun didn't care.

His whole face was still swollen, with burning pain, and his gums seemed to be bleeding a little, so there was a rust-like sweet taste in his mouth. This taste was uncomfortable, but it also successfully diverted his attention and let him Stop paying attention to the hostility from the home fans.

In a sense, his state at this time is actually somewhat similar to the state in which Wang Chao was forced to take off his clothes by Geng Shuai in the Table Tennis League a few days ago.

They all use some kind of external stimulation to make themselves turn a blind eye to all factors other than the game and no longer be influenced by the outside world.

Some "slightly drunk".

Zhang Benkuang was roaring again, cheering himself up and mustering up his courage.

But the ear-piercing sound did not affect Lin Zijun at this moment, because Lin Zijun's ears were a little buzzing, which was the aftereffect of his own slap.

Lin Zijun got the right to serve.

He stole long again.

Zhang Benkuang attacked again.

But at this time, Lin Zijun is no longer the Lin Zijun who wants to score points by sneak attack, he steals long is just a strategy, what he wants to see is Zhang Benkuang's reaction like the first game.

He had predicted it a long time ago, and he turned sideways and pulled back, forming a stalemate.

The stalemate between the two is not good, because both sides lack strength.

Although there were one or two wonderful line changes, this round of stalemate did not have the kind of hearty, fist-to-flesh visual impact.

However, Lin Zijun didn't care, because his strategy at the moment was: neither of us has enough strength, but at least I'm stronger than you.

It's not that I am strong and you are weak.

It's that I am weak and you are weaker, so my weakness becomes my strength.

After six consecutive rounds, he successfully pulled Zhang Benkuang through with his forehand.

"Zhang Benkang is gone." Wang Lu said.

"Yes, Lin Zijun has completely returned." Qin Huachang said.

"His mentality problem may be greatly improved." Zhu Zeshi said.

Cai Guodong finally concluded, he said with a smile: "Then how do you think Wang Chao will feel now?"

Everyone knew how to avoid taboos, they didn't open their mouths, and looked at Zhu Zeshi in unison.

"I think he should be happy." Zhu Zeshi said seriously: "After all, we are Huaping, how can we avoid the battle? The stronger Lin Zijun is, the more Wang Chao wants to beat him head-on. This is called sportsmanship. It’s called the spirit of Huaping, don’t you think so?”

Everyone looked at him with contempt, and finally Qin Huachang told the truth: "Old Zhu, you are so hypocritical... If only Lao He were here, I can only hear a truth from him these days .”

Of course Wang Chao is not happy, he is extremely depressed now, Zhang Benkuang is just a step away, why did Lin Zijun turn him over at the last moment?

The most terrible thing is that Lin Zijun actually got rid of his demons in this match, so if he really meets tomorrow, how should he fight?
……

The ensuing games were no miracles.

When Lin Zijun started to score frequently, Zhang Benkuang couldn't shout anymore, and just misfired.

两人在24分钟内打成2：2，随后进入fast5，林梓君展现出远高于张本狂的稳定性，以5：1和5：2连下两局，最终4：2淘汰张本狂。

After the game, more than half of the fans in the stands left, and the whole stadium became deserted.

Yoshikawa Oki's face was ugly, because he knew that he had messed up the game.

There are a total of three players in Sakura Country. The No. [-] seed Mizuno Hayao retired due to a back injury and became the laughing stock of the whole world. The No. [-] seed Zhang Benkuang lost to Lin Zijun. Although it is understandable, he lost after all.

There is one Hiroshi Yoshikawa left...

Yoshikawa Oki only felt that his toothache was severe.

If time can be turned back, he must replace Hiroshi Yoshikawa...

He thought very well at that time, as long as Hiroshi Yoshikawa competes, even if he does not win a game, he will still have the world ranking and points, just like picking it up for nothing. Anyway, with Mizutaka and Zhang Benkuang at the top, no matter how bad he is, he can still make it to the fourth round. Strong, no one will criticize an unknown young player.

But now Shuiniaoying and Zhang Benkang were both out of the game early, but his son was the last one to play.

Do you ask Hiroshi Yoshikawa to be the last hope of all Sakura Country fans?
Oki Yoshikawa took another look at the matchup list, and for a while even thought of stopping the game directly.

Wang Chao vs Hiroshi Yoshikawa.

This is really a narrow road...

Oki Yoshikawa will never forget the story about Wang Chao that Hiroshi Yoshikawa told him.

At that time, the son's teammates calculated Wang Chao's teammates a little bit, but Wang Chao directly beat him 33:0.

This incomparable dragon, he will take revenge for every grievance, he is not a good thing!
And what have you been doing these days?

Advocating the new six little dragons of Huaping, and desperately praising and killing Wang Chao, it can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known.

Now is the time to pay off the debt.

Oki Yoshikawa adjusted his mood and announced the list of players. When he called his son's name, he found his son's face turned pale.

Then the players from both sides entered the field, Yoshikawa Oki exited, and the players shook hands before the game.

"Wang Chao-sang..." Taking advantage of the opportunity of shaking hands, Hiroshi Yoshikawa wanted to make a final effort: "You know, I have always been kind to you, and even now, I hope to become good friends with you."

Wang Chao smiled at him: "Okay, then you can give me a present."

Hiroshi Yoshikawa was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "What does Wang Chaosang want? No matter what you ask, I will agree here in advance."

"You don't need to agree." Wang Chao shook his head, forcibly pulled his hand out of Hiroshi Yoshikawa's hand, and pointed to the table before turning around: "It's there, and I will take it with my own hands."

Hiroshi Yoshikawa was taken aback again, and the smile on his face froze.

He understood what Wang Chao meant.

What Wang Chao wanted... probably his own hair?
At this moment, there are many hidden torrents surging under the superficial hustle and bustle.

When the players on both sides walked towards the table, the referee and vice referee on both sides of the field looked at Oki Yoshikawa at the same time.

Just at noon today, they met with Oki Yoshikawa and made an unsportsmanlike deal.

They refused at first, but Yoshikawa Oki gave too much.

Moreover, they really couldn't afford to offend the vice president.

The game starts soon, the first step is to guess the coin.

According to the usual practice, the referee should toss the coin vertically, and when the coin falls, quickly cover it with his hand, without any extra actions, just let the players on both sides guess the pros and cons.

But this time the referee made a small inadvertent move. After covering the coin with his hand, he quickly slid his thumb into the fold of his hands and rubbed it vigorously.

Well, anyone who likes to play mahjong should know that this action is actually "touching characters".

The patterns on the coins are also raised and can be touched.

The referee then looked at Hiroshi Yoshikawa and blinked twice at the same time.

Hiroshi Yoshikawa immediately said: "I guess the opposite."

Wang Chao didn't say anything.

With his body's excellent eyesight and abnormal dynamic vision capture ability, he could see all the details just now clearly, and he even managed to catch the referee's unnatural double blinking from the corner of his eye.

But he just finds it funny.

He watched with cold eyes, wanting to see how the father and son Yoshikawa Oki and Yoshikawa Hiroshi calculated him under the eyes of the world's live broadcast.

The referee immediately let go of his hand, and the coin in his hand turned out to be tails.

So Hiroshi Yoshikawa got the right to serve.

He stood in front of the table with an extremely cautious attitude, and the first ball was delayed.

Because at this moment, Hiroshi Yoshikawa remembered what happened to Yang Chi back then.

At that time, Yang Chi tried his best to serve the most standard short backspin, but no matter how short the ball was, how low the spin was, Wang Chao always dared to hit the ball directly, and the shot was sure to hit.

Although rationality told Hiroshi Yoshikawa that Wang Chao actually performed supernormally that day, and he had a bit of shit luck, otherwise it would be impossible to have a [-]% success rate in picking.

But the experience of watching the game on the spot that day was so real that Hiroshi Yoshikawa could not use his reason to drive away this fear.

He grumbled for a long time, and finally sent the ball out.

Of course it is short backspin, because he dare not serve other balls.

As soon as the ball was sent out, Hiroshi Yoshikawa's whole body tensed immediately, his mind was highly concentrated, his body bowed lower than before, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Wang Chao is ready to fight wildly.

The fighting spirit in his whole body has been ignited, vowing to defend his hair in front of audiences all over the world.

Swear not to shave your head!
But Wang Chao's reaction was very flat, he just made a short statement.

Hiroshi Yoshikawa was full of doubts, but his movements were not slow. He quickly stepped forward and swung the ball back.

Wang Chao poses again.

Hiroshi Yoshikawa swings back.

For the first ball in the opening game, four rounds were played in the blink of an eye. Both sides played two short shots, without the slightest murderous intent.

But Hiroshi Yoshikawa felt that he couldn't stand it anymore.

How can there be any quiet time?It's just me, Hiroshi Yoshikawa, carrying a heavy burden...

He waited for Wang Chao to give him a ruthless blow, but Wang Chao never rushed to attack, so he could only wait and wait, and the longer he waited, the more nervous he became, the more frightened he was, like a prisoner on death row. Waiting for the verdict.

So every short swing by Wang Chao has become the story of "Wolf is Coming".

The string in Hiroshi Yoshikawa's heart was getting tighter and tighter, and it couldn't be stretched anymore at this moment.

This is typical of scaring oneself, and it's not light.

Seeing Wang Chao coming over for the third time, Yoshikawa Hiroshi turned his heart and gave a loud roar to embolden himself. Then he leaned forward violently, tilted the racket downwards, turned his wrist, and forcibly hit him.

With a "poof", the ball hit the net and committed suicide.

Wang Chao scored and led 1:0.

This ball did not attract people's attention, because in the eyes of everyone, Hiroshi Yoshikawa's game is more ominous than good. Under such circumstances, taking the initiative to fight can be regarded as a kind of fighting. It's normal.

Isn't it a matter of course that Yoshikawa Hiroshi fought and killed Wang Chao?

So into the second ball.

Hiroshi Yoshikawa continued to send a short backspin.

Wang Chao continued to swing short.

In a blink of an eye, another six rounds were played.

Hiroshi Yoshikawa couldn't bear it anymore.

He originally thought that Wang Chao would attack wildly in this round. After all, when shaking hands, Wang Chao almost made it clear: I want to take something from you on the court.

What did you take?

Hiroshi Yoshikawa thought it was a bald head.

But after the real fight started, Wang Chao's style of play was like a health ball for his uncle.

Hiroshi Yoshikawa just felt that nothing was right and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Before the start of the fight, he felt that Wang Chao's attack was the scariest thing, but now he found that when he had ghosts in his heart, what he was most worried about was that the opponent would not attack...

He is in a hurry...

Because he was in a hurry, he didn't dare to procrastinate. He always felt that the opponent's next board was going to kill him, so Hiroshi Yoshikawa forced another fight inside the stage.

With a "poof", the ball hit the net again and committed suicide.

Wang Chao leads 2:0.

In the already empty stands, the audience in Sakura Country booed softly.

They didn't have much hope for Hiroshi Yoshikawa, but seeing two low-level suicides of Hiroshi Yoshikawa in a row, they still felt that the game was boring.

On the contrary, Hiroshi Yoshikawa breathed a sigh of relief, because he finally didn't need to think about what to serve.

Then he suddenly realized something was wrong...

"This is the right to serve that the referee helped me with my left arm."

"If I don't want to serve, what am I going to do with the right to serve?"

"Why should I breathe a sigh of relief if I want to serve?"

In the entanglement of Hiroshi Yoshikawa, Wang Chao gently dropped the ball on the table, collected it with one flick, and was ready to throw it up.

But the referee blew the whistle directly at this time.

Wang Chao looked at it in astonishment, and the referee made a gesture to signal him to delay the serve.

There was an uproar in the audience at this moment.

Because Wang Chao just bounced the ball on the table, and in normal games, all players have to bounce the ball at least three times before sending the ball.

In any case, this can't be regarded as delaying the serve. Even the contestants who watched the game showed surprise expressions, wondering if the referee made a mistake.

But the referee ignored it, pointed his arm at Wang Chao, and muttered incomprehensible words. Seeing that the noise in the surrounding stands was getting louder, he seemed to be enraged, and he directly took out a yellow card.

Faced with the uproar, Yoshikawa Ohki did not stop him, but showed a somewhat gloating expression. He looked at Wang Chao from a distance, wanting to see how Wang Chao would deal with this situation.

He is very clear that things like referee unfairness have always broken the athletes' mentality the most, because there is an iron law in the rules of all large-scale competitions: on the field, athletes are asked to obey the referee's judgment unconditionally. Submit the application after the game.

So on the field, the referee does have the supreme power.

Oki Yoshikawa just wanted to disgust Wang Chao.

He knew that the gap between his son and Wang Chao was too great, so he had already told the referee that he would disgust Wang Chao in various ways and punish him with the strictest standards. No matter what, he would make Wang Chao's mentality collapse. Lose.

Only in this way can Hiroshi Yoshikawa have a slight chance of winning.

Or take a step back, only in this way can Hiroshi Yoshikawa get rid of the fate of shaving his head.

In order for his son not to become the laughing stock of the entire Sakura Kingdom, Yoshikawa Oki also went all out. He knew that the referee's behavior today would definitely arouse public opinion, but he felt that he could bear such consequences.

Even if the referee is severely fined afterwards, or even loses his referee qualifications, Yoshikawa Oki can definitely give the opponent a better job.

　Thanks to "Autumn Wind House" for the reward.
