Ping Pong Life

Chapter 176 Chinese People Don't Lie to Chinese People
The three contestants from the host country, Sakura Country, all the matches on T2 are now over.

And the audience in the arena has also retreated seven or eighty-eight.

It's not that the audience has completely lost interest in the next game, but that the disappointment in their hearts is too strong at the moment, and they have to go back to find a computer and spray Mizutaka and Hiroshi Yoshikawa.

Why don't you use your mobile phone to spray?

Because the phone typing is too slow.

What's more, there is really no suspense in the last two games left in the afternoon.

The next opponents were Lu Feiyang and Christian Hart.

After Hart defeated Luo Jiu, who was technically transformed not long ago, he became more and more Buddhist, with a feeling of wanting nothing. He and Lu Feiyang fought without any suspense. The two sides fought in just 21 minutes Four rounds were played within minutes, and the final score was 4:0 for Lu Feiyang.

Hart didn't put up too much resistance in the whole game, except for a few rounds with Lu Feiyang at the beginning, the rest was purely a show. The abandonment of resistance is not unrelated.

Anyway, he has already entered the quarter-finals. For a Danish player, entering the quarter-finals of a world-class table tennis competition is considered a very good result. He never thought of entering the semi-finals at all.

What's more, the hot springs here are really comfortable, and the Sakura girl is really gentle and lovely. Instead of fighting to the death with the thick-headed kid opposite on the field, it's better to save some energy, relax a little, and have a good time at night.

He didn't want to repeat the story of the waterfowl and the eagle.

Except for Lu Feiyang who felt a little unfulfilled, everyone else was very satisfied.

The last match was between Zhu Ding and his Swedish brother Morad.

Mollard's hard-fought defeat of Germany's No. [-] player Sissfeld in the morning game has proved that he is not here to play. He is a dark horse that has suddenly risen. This game has attracted a certain amount of attention.

Many people in the industry believe that Morad has a chance to defeat Zhu Ding, and evaluate Morad as "the direct descendant of Laowa, the greatest table tennis player in the world".

This Laowa is exactly the Swedish veteran more than ten years ago, and also the great player who caused the biggest obstacle to Huaping in history. At the beginning, Laowa once fought against the entire Huaping team with one person, and for a long time Time faintly has the upper hand.

According to the judging standards of the contemporary table tennis world, Lao Wa should have at least two talents of "Eagle Eye" and "Subtlety".

After Lao Wa retired, the Swedish table tennis world has always been supported by a veteran named K. Michel. Seeing that the veteran is about to retire, just when everyone thought that Swedish table tennis was about to end, there was finally a young genius Mollard. Being born can be regarded as a blessing for the European table tennis world.

Unfortunately, Morad still lost to Zhu Ding after all.

The world table tennis world is not surprised by this, because everyone thinks that the two are evenly matched, and it is not surprising who wins and who loses.

Only people like Wang Chao who have personally fought against Zhu Ding know that Zhu Ding's original strength is slightly inferior to Morad's.

But Zhu Ding has made progress, progress visible to the naked eye.

After beating the waterfowl eagle, his temperament seemed to have changed. The corners of his mouth that had always been cold could not help but secretly turn up, and the breath he exuded was no longer as cold as ice, but had a hint of warmth on the contrary. .

It's a pity that he still doesn't want to talk too much, as if he is afraid that if he speaks, his momentum will be weakened.

During lunch, Zhu Ding disappeared for a while, no one knew where he had gone, and everyone tacitly refused to ask him, but Wang Chao guessed that he probably went to call someone.

I don't know if I got through...

Zhu Ding's changes are reflected in his playing, which is very clear. His attack attributes are further weakened, while his defensive attributes are further strengthened. However, he did not lose his combat power because of the reduction of offense. On the contrary, his entire tactical system is more rounded One piece, not as aggressive as before.

In the past, he was like a flowerbed that hadn't been pruned by the gardener for a long time. The branches were overgrown and easy to hurt people, but now he has undergone simple pruning. Although he is not yet perfect, he is much more organized than before. Offensive and defensive balance.

Morad, who holds a polygonal racket, took the path of violent attack. When he encountered Zhu Ding's gradually smooth style, he felt like hitting cotton. His temper was very violent, and he attacked crazily in the first game. Not much, but lost in the end. In the second round, he was still aggressively attacking and still lost, so he got angry and threw his racket to the ground fiercely. He pointed at Zhu Ding and started cursing.

Everyone was dumbfounded watching this scene, thinking that such a handsome young man must be very personable, but who would have thought that he would be so irritable.

Then his coach came out, as if to dissuade him, but the little brother pushed his coach away hard and spat hard on the floor.

At this time, everyone is stupid.

So the game was not over. It is not so much that Morad lost 0:2, it is better to say that he lost control of his emotions after 0:2, seriously violated the rules on the spot, and was directly eliminated by the penalty.

During the whole process of Morad's fury, Zhu Ding remained calm until the penalty was over, and he walked out of the field without any unnecessary movements.

It can be seen that he is really in a good mood now.

If it was the big devil from the table tennis league, he would have raised his sandbag-like fist and punched Morad in the face by this time.

Don't forget, this guy is not a good-tempered guy either, he broke Yang Chi's arm abruptly.

So far, the second day of the game is all over.

The remaining games have also been determined.

In the semi-finals, Wang Chao played Lin Zijun and Zhu Ding played Lu Feiyang. The winners of these two games will compete for the final championship of this T2.

By this time, the mentality of all contestants had undergone subtle changes.

When I first arrived the day before yesterday, no one paid attention to the three unknown soldiers sent by Huaping. Everyone was discussing who would win the championship, Lin Zijun or Shuiniaoying.

Even a guy like Li Zhengzhi dared to challenge Wang Chao in the cafeteria, trying to step on his head to become famous.

But at this moment, looking back suddenly, I suddenly found that there are three Huaping seats in the top four.

Whether it is Zhu Shixian, the world's number one chipper, or the first brother of Sakura Country, Mizunohawk, or the evergreen tree Zhuang Huishen of the Bay Island, these famous figures in the world table tennis world have fallen to Huaping one after another in different ways. underfoot.

"This is Huaping"

"Huaping randomly sends out a few people, all of them are of the world's top level"

"Huat Ping finally showed a new generation of ace players who have been carefully prepared"

Titles like these appeared in large numbers on table tennis forums in various countries that night.

Then someone reminded: "Everyone, have you forgotten? In fact, Lin Zijun is also Chinese, and T2 has already been rounded up by the Chinese..."

Tomorrow is the last match day, with a total of ten matches, six in the morning, the first two are men's singles semi-finals, and the last four are women's singles.

The four games in the afternoon are the women's singles semi-finals and finals, as well as the men's singles final, which is the last highlight.

……

There were a lot fewer people in the cafeteria, because some of the eliminated players had already returned home.

Sightseeing players like Christian Hart are still there, and they are ready to stay in the Cherry Blossom Country to play in the T-League, and they are starting to discuss signing matters with the Cherry Blossom Country Table Tennis Team.

"Have you figured out how to beat Lin Zijun?" Zhu Ding asked Wang Chao.

Today Zhu Ding obviously talked more than usual. He and Wang Chao sat together, chatting with each other.

And less than five meters away from them, Lin Zijun and Zhuang Huishen were whispering while eating, and sneaking glances here and there from time to time.

Obviously, when Wang Chao had a headache for defeating Lin Zijun, Lin Zijun was also having a headache for defeating Wang Chao.

Even the other contestants frequently set their sights on these two tables.

Everyone knew that the winner of Wang Chao and Lin Zijun was most likely the winner of this T2 Diamond Tournament.

Because judging from the content of the game, Zhu Ding's victory over Water Bird Eagle only showed tenacity, while Lu Feiyang's victory over Zhuang Huishen only showed the advanced nature of technology.

These two are general talents, but not handsome talents. They rely on their bodies to win, not their brains.

Wang Chao and Lin Zijun are different.

Wang Chao used two completely different systems to beat Zhu Shixian and Yoshikawa Hiroshi. They were impeccable in technique and amazing in stability.

Zhu Shixian and Yoshikawa Hiroshi were regarded as dead by him, and they didn't come out of the pit from the beginning to the end.

As for Lin Zijun... there is nothing to say. As early as the last time he debuted in the Open, the world table tennis circles had recognized him as a top-notch player today, and he was a rare top-notch player who played with his brain.

"I can't think of a way..." Wang Chao sighed: "If it was before this afternoon, I could still say that Lin Zijun's mentality was a bit problematic, but when he beat Zhang Benkuang, it was obvious that he got rid of his demons."

Zhu Ding gave a "tsk", feeling a little sour in his heart.

He himself can be regarded as a genius, otherwise he would not have been among the six dragons seven years ago, but even he would feel that the heavens are unfair when he sees people like Wang Chao and Lin Zijun.

One is super-evolved before the battle, and the other is the inferior heart slayer, what are you doing?Are we ordinary people allowed to play ball?
On the other end, Zhuang Huishen also asked Lin Zijun, "Have you thought of a solution?"

"Unexpected." Lin Zijun shyly lowered his head and said, "I studied the game he played against Zhu Ding in Pingjia, and compared the game he played against Zhu Shixian yesterday and the game he played against Hiroshi Yoshikawa today, I found this guy Playing styles are too complicated, each game has a different style, but every game is well controlled, I guess, I will have to watch more than a dozen games before I can find his true game."

Zhuang Huishen said: "How about... Let's study all the games he played in the table tennis league tonight?"

Lin Zijun sighed: "It's useless, senior, every game he played in the Pingjia, he showed a completely different level... I don't know whether this person has improved too fast or is too good at hiding. In short, Those games don't show his true level at all, and it's useless to watch."

"Then what should we do?" Zhuang Huishen asked: "Why don't we go and find out the news?"

Lin Zijun was even more ashamed, and said in a low voice, "I... am not so embarrassed."

On the other end, Zhu Ding also asked: "Then what should we do?"

"It's very simple." Wang Chao stood up and said with a smile, "Since you don't know him well, let's find out now."

……

In this way, the Bay Island duo and the Huaping duo had a historic first direct contact.

At this moment, the buzz in the cafeteria suddenly stopped, and many people turned their heads to listen secretly.

When Zhuang Huishen saw Wang Chao approaching, a smile flashed in his eyes, he got up and moved out of the way, moved to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down."

Wang Chao first thanked Zhuang Huishen earnestly, then sat down opposite Lin Zijun, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello."

Lin Zijun lowered his head and didn't dare to look at anyone. His face had already subsided, but it was slightly flushed because of the embarrassment at the moment. He slowly stretched out his hand and shook Wang Chao lightly, and said in a low voice, "You are fine, too."

Wang Chao said: "I've seen all the videos of your matches at the Kangaroo Country Open. You played really well."

Lin Zijun's face turned even redder, but he still lowered his head, and said, "I have also watched all your matches in the Table Tennis Championships, and you played better."

Zhuang Hui looked back at Zhu Ding deeply, the two shrugged together, with smiles in their eyes.

Although tomorrow is the opponent, but as a senior, watching two promising juniors have such an unfamiliar first contact, this feeling is like taking your own brother on a blind date, and the mood is very strange.

It's just that these two people will not ask each other's family age and income, but want to test each other's strength.

Wang Chao asked: "Tomorrow's game, who do you think will win?"

Lin Zijun said: "Of course you win...you have better hand feeling than me, greater strength than me, more delicate ball inside the table, and the change of serve is far better than me. I don't think I can win even one round."

"No, no, I think you won." Wang Chao said: "Your backhand is too strong, and your speed is much faster than mine. Moreover, it is obviously your table ball that is more delicate."

"It's useless to be fast." Lin Zijun's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he lacked confidence, but the words kept coming out: "You know, I can't beat Zhu Shixian, but you can beat him 4:0, And today's game, you played too steadily, a young player like me, with an impetuous mentality, is most afraid of a stable player like you."

"Am I stable? I'm actually not stable at all, but Yoshikawa Hiroshi is too good." Wang Chao shook his head: "Really speaking, you are stable. When you beat Li Zhengzhi, you controlled the ball from the beginning to the end. A total of four games, that is the world's No. 14 master, if I were replaced, I am afraid he will be beaten into a pig's head by him."

Lin Zijun finally raised his head, but even the roots of his ears were red. He looked at Wang Chao with an extremely sincere expression: "Hua people don't lie to Hua people, trust me, you will win."

Wang Chao's eyes were equally sincere: "Hua people don't lie to Hua people, I really can't beat you."

Lin Zijun touched his feverish face, then lowered his head: "Mom said, I'm a good boy, I never lie."

Wang Chao said: "My mother didn't say that I was a good boy. She frightened me since I was a child. If I told a lie, she would break my leg."

There was a brief silence between the two, and then Wang Chao smiled and said, "Well, anyway, you think I will win, why don't you tell me your weaknesses and make it easier for me to win, how about that?"

Lin Zijun thought carefully for a few seconds: "Okay."

He said: "When you hit me, you can try your best to serve the forehand long ball. I am too thin and lack strength, so I can't charge at all. Also, I am actually very afraid of heavy artillery. I practiced with Zhuang Huishen. You suffered a lot during that time, if you have a chance, you must turn sideways and forcefully charge me, I usually can't catch this kind of ball, and I will kill you with one board."

Wang Chao listened carefully, thought carefully, and after thinking clearly, he said seriously: "Thank you... In return, I will also tell you my weaknesses."

Lin Zijun quickly shook his head: "Don't say... I'm going to lose tomorrow anyway, I don't want to know your weakness."

Wang Chao ignored him and continued: "My speed is far inferior to yours, so it must be effective for you to mobilize me from both sides like Zhang Benkuang. Besides, my backhand is much weaker than yours, so you should Try to hit the ball to my backhand position. Considering my pool ball is pretty good, I suggest you hit my backhand bottom line or backhand angle directly. In this case, I can only twist the ball, but I can easily make mistakes when twisting the ball. "

He paused and reminded: "Oh, don't forget that I am a left-handed general, so my backhand position is reversed from others."

Lin Zijun also seems to have just realized: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot, in fact, I am born to be afraid of left-handed players. I had a three-point chance in tomorrow's game, but now it seems that I have no chance at all. Congratulations in advance ah."

The two finished talking so far, bid farewell to each other, and congratulated each other on getting the final qualification in advance before parting.

　Thanks to "Autumn Wind House" for the reward.
