Ping Pong Life

Chapter 204 The Athletic Talent of the Samba Nation

Hook's ping-pong has a unique atmosphere from the beginning to the end.

His most common serve is the high toss, which is his signature.

His high throw was higher than everyone else's, and the ball flew straight up. Hook looked up and saw that it took several seconds for the ball to fall from the hand.

The action of his shot is very sudden, unlike ordinary players who will lead the racket in advance, but suddenly when the ball is about to fall off the table, the speed of touching the ball is extremely fast, and it can be retracted as soon as it is touched. The shaking of the wrist and the racket at that moment The rotation of the ball is extremely obscure, so it is difficult for people to see exactly how the ball he sends is spinning.

But because the ball is thrown too high, the converted gravitational potential energy is too large, so the power of this ball is extremely strong, the rotation is super strong, and the speed is super fast.

He doesn't play fake moves, because he didn't learn these overly delicate and detailed skills in Brazil, and his entire playing style revealed a rough and wild flavor.

This is the original ecological, barbaric growth style of play.

The ball went straight to the bottom line of Sun Tianlong's backhand position, even though it bounced off the table again, it was still full of surging power.

The quality of the ball was so high that even Sun Tianlong couldn't completely dissipate the power on the ball and return to make a perfect swing.

Sun Tianlong's choice is to wash a long ball.

This is the best choice.

To deal with this kind of long and fast backspin, players who are not strong enough will choose to step back and pull up the loop, because this kind of catch is the least likely to make mistakes, and you don’t need to judge the opponent’s impact on the ball too accurately. turn around.

But once you do pull, the opponent will get the opportunity to attack directly.

Hook has a characteristic of playing ball. Every ball seems to be desperate. He will choose the most difficult way to touch the ball from the beginning to the end, so every ball he hits is of super high quality. In his past games, almost All the balls are resolved within three boards, either he kills himself or you miss the ball.

So for this ball, Sun Tianlong actually wanted to twist it into a short backspin, but he couldn't do it, and finally twisted it into a long backspin.

Hook attacked without hesitation.

In fact, apart from the fact that this ball is slightly longer, it has almost been rubbed to the extreme by Sun Tianlong. Even if it is the main player of Huaping, he will never choose to attack by force when he sees this kind of ball, because the possibility of failure is too great.

But Hook doesn't care so much, he has always played on a whim.

He pulled a very aggressive heavy loop.

The trajectory of the ball was extremely steep, and the route it flew through the air was like an arch bridge with a great arc, and it plunged into the table in front of Sun Tianlong.

At the same time, Wang Chao spit out two words: "Strange power?"

Luo Jiu let out a "hmm" and stared at the screen with all his attention.

Yes, this is exactly the genius.

The trajectory of the ball pulled out is too weird, which means that at the moment of friction between the racket and the ball, the force exerted on the ball far exceeds the limit of ordinary people, so it is because the rotation is too strong and under the effect of air resistance, it is like climbing a mountain. Same steep curve.

Just the first attack of the first ball in the opening game, the quality of this heavy arc has steadily surpassed Liang Kunpeng's forehand burst during the day today.

Fortunately, the ball was not placed in a tricky position, but extremely positive, so the Dragons blocked the ball firmly.

He didn't choose to pull against Hook, but used a push to push the ball directly to the bottom line of Hook's backhand at a wide angle.

Sun Tianlong is the best professional player in the world who is good at formulating targeted strategies. He knows that he cannot compete with Hu Ke with brute force, so he wants to win by landing.

It should be said that judging from the common sense of playing, Hook should lose points for this ball, because Hook rushed too hard on the first board, which has already committed a big taboo in playing. At this time, he was mobilized from a large angle, and he should have no time to save the ball. .

But at this moment, Hook's body instantly changed from extremely quiet to extremely dynamic, and he flew to the left like a leopard, and he was already in place in an instant, his arms stretched out, and he tore back fiercely.

Wang Chao spat out two more words: "Extremely fast?"

Luo Jiu said "hmm" again.

Yes, this is talent speed.

If there is no extreme speed, it is impossible for Hook to save the ball so quickly under the premise of violating the taboo of military strategists. He even has time to take a step back after settling down to make enough space for a strong counter-tear.

But the back tear is no better than a forehand burst. Although the ball looks fierce, it is an opportunity for Sun Tianlong.

Sun Tianlong didn't intend to seek stability from the very beginning of this final, because he knew that Hu Ke's state today might not be weaker than that of Luo Jiu, who has achieved great skills, so he planned to fight from the beginning.

Now that the opportunity came, he did not hesitate to charge sideways.

But it's not a burst of twelve points of strength, but a burst of nine points of strength.

This is Sun Tianlong's character traits, he will always leave some energy to deal with any possible accidents, he will never stud.

The ball went straight to the side of Hook's forehand table.

This is a large angle in the absolute sense.

From the bottom line on the left side of the table to the forehand side of the table, even if Hook has extreme speed, the possibility of catching the ball is only 50.00%.

What's more, the ball of the Dragons is of extremely high quality. It is both a line change and an explosive charge. On the basis of topspin, there is a slight left spin. It is almost a must-kill ball. Even if Hook catches up, he may not catch it. Can live.

Hook did not give up. He stopped suddenly, changed direction, and his speed was astonishingly fast. He successfully chased the ball once again while it fell off the table.

But the ball was too powerful, he hurriedly stood still, and it was too late to adjust his posture and pull back.

So he continued to retreat crazily, taking four steps in a row, and was already nearly two meters away from the table.

The ball has also flown below the table, only the last [-] centimeters before landing.

Hook squatted, the racket sank, and he swung it from bottom to top, scooped it, and drew a complete arc with his arm.

This action has a nice name in the table tennis world, called "sea fishing for the moon".

The ball flew up from a place below the table, drew a long curve in the air, successfully climbed to a height above the table, and continued to fly forward, almost brushing the net, until it flew right in front of Sun Tianlong. Central bottom line.

The ball fell in front of Sun Tianlong's eyes, landed on the table, and bounced up. The height was never more than [-] centimeters, and it also had a strong side spin.

The ball caused whistles and applause throughout the arena, the enthusiasm of the audience was high, and some people kept shouting the pronunciation of the word "hugo", as if this place had become the home stadium of the Brazilians.

Such an enthusiastic response was not only because the Brazilian hit a real super ball, but also because the Brazilian's opponent was Chinese table tennis player Sun Tianlong.

Whenever there are foreign players and Huaping players entering the finals, the audience will support the foreign players without exception, because everyone wants to see the warrior slaying the dragon, not the dragon continuing to be invincible.

And when the Chinese table tennis player is Sun Tianlong, the audience's support for foreign players will reach its peak.

After all, it has been a long time since the empire destroyed the dragon.

Wang Chao's expression finally changed. He no longer looked at the screen, but turned his head to stare at Luo Jiu, gritted his teeth and said, "Into the subtleties?"

If it weren't for the unparalleled hand feeling, it would be absolutely impossible for this sea fishing moon to reach this level.

Hu Ke was originally in a bad situation, and has been mobilized by both sides of Sun Tianlong. It was only a matter of time before he was mobilized to death, but because of this super ball, he actually turned the situation back completely and returned to the starting point.

Luo Jiu didn't say "hmm" anymore, she turned her head to meet his eyes, and nodded seriously: "Yes."

Wang Chao took a light breath.

He finally understood why Luo Jiu would say "that's just such an exaggeration" before the match.

Because it's really exaggerated.

On the first ball at the start, he actually discovered the three talents of "weird power", "extreme speed" and "detailed" from Hook in one breath.

This was the first person he saw in this world who possessed multiple combined talents after traveling through time.

He himself doesn't count, because strictly speaking, he only has one talent "into the subtleties". As for the others, they are just bonuses brought by time travel. It's just that Cai Guodong and others don't know the truth, so they will make him a "grandfather". Wushuang" comes.

He's a fake genius, and Hook is undeniably a real genius.

This made Wang Chao feel that the Samba nation is really born with amazing sports talent. Brazil has produced so many football stars in the past few decades, but now, the Samba nation has finally begun to invade the table tennis world.

The game continues.

As the most experienced player on the planet, Sun Tianlong did not have the slightest psychological fluctuation in the face of Hu Ke's successive display of characteristics. Even if the situation returned to the starting point at this moment, he still behaved very calmly and took half a step back. He rubbed the super ball back firmly again.

Although it is a super ball, after all, it has been flying in the air for too long and its strength has been exhausted, so Sun Tianlong's ball is better controlled than the one just now, and it has a perfect short backspin.

He is not in a hurry, full of confidence, and is not afraid of fighting with Hook on the short ball in the ring.

In the Asian Cup final in September, even Luo Jiu, who had used his subtle talents to the limit, did not dare to compete with Sun Tianlong for the short ball. This shows that Sun Tianlong is actually the strongest in the world. By.

Of course, Hook doesn't want to, because although he feels unparalleled, his skills are actually a bit rough. He relies more on instinct and inspiration in his playing, and has not received systematic and meticulous technical polishing.

He chose to fight inside the stage.

This challenge is hell-level difficulty, so Hooker failed in the final challenge, and ended the first ball somewhat anticlimactic.

1:0, Sun Tianlong won the victory.

But none of the Huaping players sitting in front of the screen watching the game showed any joy.

Everyone can see that Sun Tianlong's ball is actually gaining momentum and not scoring.

Judging from the scene, he was suppressed by Hook.

And two hours ago, the same was true for the first ball of Xiao Fei's first game against Hooker. Xiao Fei was bombarded by Hooker for a while, and in the end he held his ground firmly and won the first point.

The start of the two games was exactly the same.

But Xiao Fei lost 0:4 in the end.

Therefore, the victory of the first goal, on the contrary, raised the hearts of some fans who believed in metaphysics, and always felt that Sun Tianlong had an unknown start.

Hook serves again.

It is still a high toss and super fast backspin, and it goes straight to the bottom line of Sun Tianlong's right hand.

Anyone who knows Hook knows that his serve has nothing to do with tactics and strategy.

He simply likes to throw high throws, and he simply prefers all kinds of super high-quality balls.

So he doesn't make fake moves, and he doesn't intentionally fail to spin. He just needs to be fast enough, spin enough, and long enough.

In fact, his serve is so powerful that he has relied on serving to score many times in the international arena.

Even Xiao Fei ate three of his serves in the semifinals.

In the first ball, Hook served the backhand baseline and lost the ball, so this time, he will try the right-hand baseline.

Hooker’s brain is actually very smart, with a very high IQ, but he doesn’t like to systematically analyze the ins and outs of his game, but relies more on his intuition. For example, this time, he only knew that the first serve was lost in the end, so he had to do the second serve. Changing the landing point, he didn't care how the first ball was lost, and whether it was directly related to the serve.

This is probably some kind of racial trait of the Samba nation.

The unique enthusiasm factor in their personality, if understood from another angle, is actually called "thinking out is coming out".

But for Sun Tianlong, the bottom line of the backhand can only be rubbed, and the bottom line of the forehand can be directly attacked.

Sun Tianlong retreated, turned sideways, turned his waist, retracted his abdomen, and rushed with his forehand!
As the only recognized hexagonal fighter in the world, Sun Tianlong actually has no talent.

He has no magic power, so he rarely launches a fatal attack from the backhand position, because he knows that the power of the backhand attack cannot kill the opponent.

He doesn't have extreme speed, so he catches the ball in the backhand position with the backhand, and catches the ball in the forehand position with the forehand. He never considers running to the other side of the ball forcibly like Lin Zijun.

He doesn't have eagle eyes, but he has fought too many opponents and practiced too many skills. In the end, before others move, he has already judged what the opponent is going to do by relying on the small signs before the move, so he never Don't be cheated, don't eat spins.

He wasn't fast enough, heavy enough, or spin enough, so he seldom killed people with one strike, and always killed people with combination punches.

But his coach Qin Huachang told him: "Even if you are proficient in all the techniques in the world, you must have a mastery of skills, otherwise you will not be super-class."

So the dragon team practiced a one-shot kill.

That's his forehand burst.

He has always made decisions before making moves, so most of the time he waits for the opponent to make a move, and then catches the opponent's flaws. Even if he needs to make a forehand burst occasionally, he will stay strong, because he feels that the opponent can guess that he is going to burst. The opponent has the possibility of returning the ball.

But when he really decides to kill with a single board, it is usually when he judges that the opponent has no second move.

So we rarely see Sun Tianlong take the initiative to use twelve points of strength to charge, but once he charges, 90.00% of them will kill the opponent.

For example at this moment.

After Hook served the ball, he felt that [-]% of Sun Tianlong might hit the bottom line, [-]% might make a big angle, and the last [-]% might pull a high lob.

So he didn't have any mental preparation for speeding up.

This kind of situation, of course, cannot be regarded as distracted in the professional arena, at best it is called underestimation of difficulty.

He really never expected that the Dragon Team, which has always been prudent, would suddenly have a life-and-death burst.

He was directly beaten to death without moving at all.

When the ball flew past his side, he rolled his eyes belatedly, grinned, and trotted to pick up the ball.

2: 0.

Sun Tianlong got the right to serve.

Hooker showed yet another difference.

He spread his legs apart, squatted down, squatted down, squatted very deep, his head had sunk below the table, only a pair of eyes were exposed, he looked like a big toad, and his movements were quite weird.

The audience let out low laughter.

This is actually Hooker's signature move in the international arena, but every time it appears, the audience still finds it funny.

What's more, Hook habitually blinks hard, turns his shoulders, tiptoes, grins, and puffs his cheeks...

He has a lot of small movements, as if he couldn't help it, and his whole body is in a state of constant movement, giving people the feeling of ADHD, and he can never calm down.

But Wang Chao and Luo Jiu didn't smile, instead they looked very serious.

Because they both know very well that the lower you squat, the more stable your center of gravity will be, and the faster you will move later, the less likely you will lose your balance.

And the level of the eyes and the table can actually help Hooker to best judge the precise height and rotation of the opponent's ball.

That horizontal line is actually the best observation point on the table.

It's just that squatting to this level puts too much load on the body and requires too much physical fitness, so no one has ever really achieved this level.

Of course, no one told him that Hook could do this, but he tried it out by his own intuition.

This man is a true sports all-around genius, not just a ping pong genius.

Sun Tianlong has a short backspin of course, because he is the No.1 short fight in the world.

The concept of technical restraint is not clear in Hu Ke's mind, and he can't clearly express the view that "we must never fight against Sun Tianlong", but his intuition is extremely keen. When he saw this short spin, he realized Can't be short.

So he forcibly beat him in the stage.

On the first ball, he lost a point because of a picking error, but this time he still has to play like this.

This time he made it.

Once this method of forcibly increasing the difficulty coefficient is successful, the opponent will be extremely uncomfortable, because once the attack is successful in this situation, the quality of the attack must be super high.

Sun Tianlong went to save with a forehand and took the ball high.

Hook directly charged with a forehand.

The landing point is very positive, still at the bottom line of Sun Tianlong's forehand position.

The ball was too powerful, and Sun Tianlong had no choice but to step back and stretch the circle.

So the ball formed a stalemate in the middle stage.

Hook continued to explode.

Sun Tianlong didn't retreat anymore, he stood firmly on the spot, and also rushed with a forehand.

In these two rounds, both sides did not pay attention to pulling the ball, but paid more attention to shooting forward, wanting to improve the speed and strength of the ball, and directly end the game.

Hook took a step forward at this time, pulling the ball close to the table.

Sun Tianlong's pupils contracted slightly, he made a trade-off within a tenth of a second, and finally chose to still stand in the middle stage.

He could understand what Hook meant.

Hook took a step forward to fight him in the court, because the speed and rhythm of the ball in the middle court stalemate were too slow, and Hook thought that no one would be able to kill the other in this way, so he wanted to play more extreme.

If Sun Tianlong also takes a step forward, it will become the most popular style of play for the new generation of players, not retreating, not turning sideways, fighting rhythm, comparing speed, ratio of appearance rate, and backhand twisting.

But Sun Tianlong rejected Hu Ke's silent invitation.

Because he is 31 years old, he has a back injury, a leg injury, a shoulder injury, and most importantly, his nerve reaction speed and ability to capture visual dynamic pictures have declined. If the speed is too fast, he will really follow not on.

Therefore, when Hook forcibly approaches the table, he can only continue to maintain a distance of about [-] centimeters from the table, so as to form a buffer zone and reduce the power of Hook's attack.

But in this way, he directly fell into a disadvantageous situation.

If you don't retreat, you can't retreat. Once the one who doesn't retreat changes the line and moves on both sides, the one who retreats will be tired of running.

Sure enough, Hook made a line change in the next second.

Sun Tianlong took two steps across and successfully saved the ball.

Hook's body moved to the right and twisted the ball directly.

Surprisingly fast and surprisingly powerful, he is a standard overlord in Taiwan.

Sun Tianlong didn't save this ball again, because he knew that he saved it for nothing, so it was better to give up strategically to save energy.

The score became 2:1, Hook recovered one point.

At this point, the eyes of the audience from the Foreign Association became brighter and brighter, but the hearts of the Huaguo audience became tighter and tighter.

Everyone can see that although Sun Tianlong leads the score, he is still unable to score.

But the momentum will eventually be converted into scores. When Hooker fights more and more smoothly, the balance of victory will eventually tilt.

"What should I do?" Wang Chao asked Luo Jiu.

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Luo Jiu spread his hands: "This is a lot more stable than today, after three balls, basically zero mistakes, this is not his previous style at all. How did he do it? Could it be that he secretly found a coach from Huaguo, who has specially trained his mental quality?"

Wang Chao asked, "If it were you, how would you fight?"

Luo Jiu frowned, and thought for a long time before saying: "Maybe like Brother Long, hold on first, try to hold on to the points, don't force yourself to win, and use it slowly, maybe if you use it up, Hu Ke will start to lose the chain."

Seeing Wang Chao's surprised expression, he muttered innocently: "What are you looking at? Do you think I want to do this? The problem is, we have beaten him like this in the past two years, and he will indeed lose the chain." .”

Wang Chao frowned, and his face became ugly: "You dare not compete with him in veneer quality?"

Luo Jiu shook his head honestly: "I can't fight, really, this competition is really too big, and the movement is really too fast, it's scary."

He paused, sighed and said, "It can only be outsmarted, not outmatched."

It was only now that Wang Chao realized that winning the championship on T2 had misled him and made him underestimate the hidden dangers of Huaping.

It's really not that Huaping has lost the chain, but that there are already a large number of newcomers in the world table tennis world, of all races and skin colors, and they have started to emerge from every corner of the earth.
