Ping Pong Life

Chapter 179 The Real Flaw

Lin Zijun is actually a very contradictory person.

He has been very smart since he was a child. Whether it is reading or playing games, he is much better than other friends around him. He has won many awards and praises. He has also given public speeches in many public occasions, such as class meetings, grade meetings, Student council or campus recognition ceremony.

When he started practicing, he was unbeatable in the school within three months.

So he is not stage-frightened, and this point is reflected in his playing, that is, he will not have any discomfort standing on the court, and he will never affect his state because of being stared at by many people.

But at the same time, he is extremely socially phobic, afraid of communicating with strangers, and just wants to live in his own small world.

When he was in the Bay Island Provincial Team, he followed the head coach Jiang Peirong all day long, and never left him. He even ate at Jiang Peirong's house.

But this time when he came to the Sakura Country, he followed Zhuang Huishen from the beginning to the end, like a little tail that he couldn't shake off.

When a stranger shows obvious emotion to him, he will feel cramped, tense, and restless, and will sweat, blush, and get nervous because of it.

But the amazing thing is that no matter how nervous he is, it will not affect his calm mind and rationality of judgment.

So yesterday at the restaurant, although he was extremely disturbed, he still judged that Wang Chao was defrauding him, and successfully completed the anti-fraud.

But today when he stepped on the court, he was actually very calm.

On the one hand, it was because he watched Wang Chao's game video at [-] o'clock in the middle of the night yesterday, and thought he knew enough about Wang Chao.

On the other hand, it was because he already had a natural sense of sympathy for Wang Chao, a genius of the same age, and he had really come into contact with him yesterday, so today he thought he was facing an old acquaintance, and he would not have any emotional problems.

Just like he was never nervous when practicing with Zhuang Huishen.

But he didn't expect that Wang Chao turned out to be completely different from last night, like a stranger.

Wang Chao actually yelled at him...

And after winning the ball, he stared at him and roared unabashedly, threatening him nakedly...

Reason told him that this was Wang Chao's tactic.

But the body is honest, he became nervous, so that his body was a little tense, his muscles were a little stiff, and he realized desperately that his game state was affected by Wang Chao.

Lin Zijun got the right to serve.

He also served a long ball from the bottom line, which fell on the bottom line of Wang Chao's forehand.

When the ball was sent, the bigwigs in the imperial capital were well aware of the psychological game between the two sides, but in fact, most of the audience, including those in the industry, hadn't figured out what the two players were thinking.

The official commentator Grasshopper dutifully answered everyone's questions in the first place.

"Good audience friends, we just got a rather interesting off-court information... It is said that last night, Wang Chao and Lin Zijun had a brief contact during dinner at night. In the game, they each blew up their own weaknesses, player Lin Zijun said he was not good at dealing with long forehand balls, and player Wang Chao said he was not good at dealing with long backhand balls."

"So, combined with the content of today's game, we can roughly see the context of their game. The reason why Wang Chao didn't serve a short backspin at the beginning, but to serve Lin Zijun's forehand long ball from the bottom line is because he I thought it was Lin Zijun's flaw, but he was cheated and lost two points, and then Lin Zijun sent Wang Chao's backhand long ball from the baseline, also trying to catch Wang Chao's flaw, but he was also cheated."

Grasshopper wanted to laugh when he said this, because the information he got did not come from the domestic Silver Ball Flying Forum, but the largest table tennis forum in Europe. It was an English complaint translated by the staff in the station. Post, the author of this post is a contestant in T2 this time, not someone else, but the Swedish brother Morad.

Morad is young and energetic, and has a big temper. After eavesdropping in the restaurant yesterday, he thought he had found a treasure. He even recited the whole material very hard at night, but he found out that he was cheated after watching the game today. He was furious. Without hesitation, he copied and pasted all his records into the forum, and attached a series of Swedish national curses at the back, reprimanding the Huaping players for their shamelessness.

Grasshopper continued: "So after 2:2, both of them knew that they had been cheated. In my opinion, both of them were very angry at this time. After all, I treat you as a friend and you treat me as a fool. That's why Wang Chao yelled at Lin Zijun directly after winning the game, he was venting the anger in his heart."

"Of course Lin Zijun is also very angry. Didn't you notice that he blushed? It was obviously red from anger."

"Then the current serving strategies of the two players are easy to guess, right? Lin Zijun said that he is afraid of long forehand shots. This is a lie. Then the reverse must be true. He is actually afraid of long backhand shots. So, you see, after 2:2, Wang Chao served two backhand long balls in a row, and although he played with twists and turns, they both scored in the end, right?"

"Now it's Lin Zijun's turn to serve. He has the same idea as Wang Chao. Since Wang Chao is not afraid of the long ball from the backhand, he must be afraid of the long ball from the forehand. So now he is serving Wang Chao's forehand, and he wants to hit him. I think Lin Zijun has a good chance of tying if both sides play normally and make no mistakes."

Grasshopper habitually began to talk nonsense, regardless of whether the logic can be truly self-consistent, anyway, it definitely makes sense in form.

This is also his experience in explaining sports events for many years. No matter whether he is right or not, as long as he is rounded on the surface, he can basically fool 80.00% of the lay audience. As for the remaining 20.00 %...

It doesn't matter, just scold if you scold, anyway, no matter how outrageous I am, can Yi Jing be outrageous?
After all, I am still conscientiously commenting on the game, Yi Jing is still reminiscing about her dormitory life when she was a team member.

But the problem is, as soon as he finished speaking, another ball was played on the court, and the score became 5:2.

Wang Chao scored another point, but Lin Zijun failed to chase the point.

This shot is not complicated. When Lin Zijun sent Wang Chao a long ball in the forehand position, Wang Chao chose to swing short, and Lin Zijun chose to fight Wang Chao head-on with a short ball inside the ring. He made a mistake, returned the ball slightly higher, and was picked by Wang Chao. Although he blocked the board, he was pierced by Wang Chao's subsequent consecutive attacks.

But Grasshopper is embarrassing...

Fortunately, he has been commenting for many years, and he has encountered quite a few embarrassing scenes. He has already learned an experience: as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

So he forcefully explained without hesitation: "Friends in the audience, this is not my problem. What I just said is that if both sides make no mistakes, Lin Zijun can chase points, but this ball Lin Zijun made a mistake. He played short and risked high There is nothing to say, let's see how his next serve is, no matter what, it must be right to serve Wang Chao's forehand bottom line long ball."

At this time, Yi Jing finally returned to his soul.

As one of the main members of the former national women's team and a former member of the Olympic women's table tennis doubles champion, Yi Jing's professional knowledge is still excellent, and she has been working hard to keep up with the situation over the years. Seeing this scene, she immediately interfaced: "Let me correct it. Why don't these two people serve short backspin all the time, but they want to serve long balls from the baseline? There is a saying in it."

"Wang Chao and Lin Zijun are both 18 years old this year. They belong to the new generation of young athletes in the table tennis world. The biggest difference between this generation of athletes and the older generation is that they have practiced the most advanced horizontal double-sided table tennis since childhood. The loop style of play, and this style of play has a characteristic, that is, the backhand is easier to practice than the forehand, so you will find that all the new players in the world table tennis world are very good at the backhand, but the forehand is slightly better. Weak, which is the complete opposite of what we had back then."

"So you see, players like Sun Tianlong and Lin Li must be on the left during the game, because they are ready to score sideways at any time, but the new generation of young players, whether it is today Wang Chao and Lin Zijun, Zhang Benkuang and Morad from yesterday, they all stand in the middle, especially Lin Zijun, because of his super strong backhand ability, so he is even on the right side, and he can stand anytime, anywhere. Get ready to attack with a backhand."

When Grasshopper heard this, he already knew that he was going to be slapped in the face. After all, Yi Jing, a girl who was a bit of a slut in the world, was talking about it now, and she would never consider the face of her partner.

So Grasshopper simply let go, and took the initiative to cheer: "Then what effect will this difference have?"

Yi Jing was very satisfied, and smiled and said: "The biggest change brought about by using the backhand as the main offensive method is that the players are unwilling to retreat. Why? Because the diameter of the table tennis ball is now larger than before, and the speed and rotation of the ball are weakening. It is also easier to catch. They believe that it is difficult to kill people with a forehand sideways charge as before, so in this case, they will try to reduce the chance of the forehand sideways charge, and mainly use the left hand Stalemate technique is the mainstay, replacing stronger strength with faster speed, and, unless it is absolutely necessary, never sideways."

At this point, Grasshopper suddenly realized: "So they keep sending the opponent's baseline long ball, are they actually trying to force the opponent to retreat, and then force the opponent to take the initiative to make a sideways charge?"

Yi Jing nodded: "Yes."

In the imperial capital, several bigwigs nodded frequently when they heard this.

"Yi Jing was born as a player after all, so he's still a little level. It doesn't matter if he talks nonsense, as long as he gets to the point at the critical moment." Zhu Zeshi said.

Qin Huachang sneered: "Didn't you say last time that CTV's commentators should be changed?"

Zhu Zeshi didn't bother to talk to him.

Cai Guodong's expression was not relaxed, and he said: "Such a simple truth, we didn't see it at the first time, this is a hidden danger... The five main players are too old, and their style of play is already behind. , thinking about the technical and tactical systems of a bunch of 27-year-old veterans all day long, and of course their vision will fall behind."

He Jingping let out a "hey" and sighed: "I am the most backward. Raw rubber has been eliminated for many years, and I am still thinking about raw rubber technology."

With such a naked Versailles, everyone didn't bother to pay attention to him.

On the court, the score has become 6:2. For the ball just now, Lin Zijun still sent Wang Chao’s forehand baseline long ball, but Wang Chao directly rubbed it to his left-hand baseline. Lin Zijun’s mentality was affected and he became A little irritable, he didn't continue to rub back, but took half a step back, and directly tore a long ball that didn't spin, but Wang Chao found the opportunity, directly kicked up the board to attack, and beat Lin Zijun to death after three rounds.

So far, Wang Chao's whole idea of ​​beating Lin Zijun has been clearly revealed.

As the flood receded, secrets emerged. At this moment, countless people in the industry widened their eyes and felt their hearts beating a little faster.

They pondered over the answer for more than a month, and it was announced by Wang Chao in front of the whole world.

Lin Zijun, this super genius who has been frantically studied by the whole world since his birth last month, at this moment, under Wang Chao's strong pressure, finally revealed his true weakness.

It's not a mentality issue.

Nor is it a problem of dealing with long balls from the bottom line with forehands and backhands.

It's not even a question of physical fitness.

Lin Zijun plays with speed and fights with rhythm. He does not step back or turn sideways when playing, because he knows that he is not strong enough to hit people sideways.

Because he doesn't turn sideways, he doesn't like to use forehands, but prefers backhands.

His real and deadliest trick is the backhand ring twist, this twist can really screw people to death.

The problem, though, is that ball screwing has never been a one-size-fits-all way of handling the ball, it's limited, and very limited.Twisting the ball is really suitable only for short balls inside the table, because the posture of twisting the ball mainly uses the forearm and wrist, and it needs to use the elbow as the axis instead of swinging the whole arm.

Once the ball is too long, all Lin Zijun can do is to step back and tear it quickly, or step back further and pull it backhanded.

But whether it is backhand tearing or backhand pulling, its strength is limited, which is determined by the force posture and force rules. Backhand force can never match the power of forehand burst.

Even a forehand burst can't say that it can kill someone these days, let alone a backhand pull?

Before today, the reason why the whole world felt that Lin Zijun's spin was impossible to defend against was actually because everyone who met Lin Zijun habitually sought stability and sent him short backspins.

However, the short backspin is just in Lin Zijun's comfort zone.

If the short underspin is extremely good and there is no way to twist it directly, Lin Zijun doesn't have to worry, he can use his incomparably delicate touch to fight against the opponent until there is an opportunity to twist the ball, and then use the overlord twist to lead the situation to his own Favorable situation.

There are few people in the world whose hand feel is comparable to that of Lin Zijun, so there are few people in the world who can take advantage of Lin Zijun after a short backspin.

Wang Chao sent the long ball from the bottom line all the way, which fundamentally eliminated the possibility of Lin Zijun twisting the ball.

And the reason why he announced Lin Zijun's backhand position is because Lin Zijun's forehand position has the possibility of a explosive charge. Even if Lin Zijun is not strong enough, but his hand is too thin and his technique is too good, this explosive attack is still possible. kill people.

These things are complicated to say, but in the end, for Wang Chao, it only needs to be attributed to two things.

First, don't give Lin Zijun a short backhand.

Second, do not give Lin Zijun a long ball in the forehand position.

It's that simple.

In addition, Wang Chao also used outside tricks.

He got inspiration from Zhang Benkuang, and yelled at Lin Zijun directly, scaring Lin Zijun...

This is really something that no one expected.

Even Wang Chao himself didn't think of it.

In fact, he just tried it, but the effect was better than expected.

The first game was rather anticlimactic. After four good goals in the opening game, the game between the two sides tended to be dull, and after the score reached 2:6, Lin Zijun seemed to have lost the desire to resist.

So after 5 minutes, the first game ended at 11:5, and Wang Chao won the first game.

In the imperial capital, several bigwigs looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all felt that the result of the battle was a bit unbelievable.

You know, in the deduction of several big shots yesterday, Wang Chao's chance of winning today is actually only [-]%.

But so many coaches of the national team guessed wrong, because the flaws Wang Chao found from Lin Zijun were not found by the bosses.

At this moment, everyone's mood is more complicated.

Just like when Wang Chao asked Luo Jiu to change the rubber, one person crushed the entire Huaping coaching staff.

Today, Wang Chao's strategy in beating Lin Zijun also belongs to the fact that one person crushed the entire Huaping coaching staff.

Even Zhu Zeshi didn't have the desire to teach his younger brother a lesson at this time, instead he glanced at He Jingping and said in a sour tone, "It seems that this child really doesn't need you to teach..."
