Ping Pong Life

Chapter 229
At nine o'clock the next morning, the second day's competition officially kicked off.

Usually the second match day is already the day of the main match. This time, although the second stage of the qualifying competition was successfully postponed to the second day, it still did not receive the same attention as the main match. At 16:16, [-] On the Zhangqiu table, [-] games start together.

There is still no special live broadcast and commentary, and it is still a stepmother-raised qualifying match. The players in the main match gather in front of many tables to watch the game, just like watching monkeys.

This also made every qualifier swear in his heart that he must enter the main match and become one of the glamorous group of people.

After an hour, all the games were decided.

Those people Wang Chao is familiar with basically won the game easily, with the exception of Zhang Benkuang.

Zhang Benkuang met the Swedish brother Morad in this round.

This is the only game recognized as interesting in this round. Before the start of the game, almost everyone is optimistic about Zhang Benkuang, because Zhang Benkuang has performed quite well in the past six months and has shown an excellent upward momentum. Morad also appeared briefly on T2, and there was no further news after that.

But this time Morad finally showed his claws and fangs.

When T2 faced Sisfield, perhaps it was because Sisfield's standard European style of play was too focused on strength and stalemate, so although Morad won, it gave the impression that he played very flatteringly. Most of his points All by forcing Sissfield to make mistakes.

But this time facing Zhang Benkuang, who is also a player of the younger generation, the two showed a very distinct style difference.

Zhang Benkuang is the most standard style of play for the new generation of players. The rhythm is extremely fast, especially the fast tearing and twisting of the backhand, which can almost make many older players unable to react at all. Insufficient hand damage.

However, Morad, an 18-year-old young man, has a very strong body. His forehand is very lethal, but his backhand lacks offensive ability, mainly rubbing, chopping, swinging and bouncing. His entire technical and tactical system does not look like a new-generation player, but rather like Huaguo's traditional two-sided loop play, with the typical characteristics of "scoring with the forehand and seeking stability with the backhand".

But he is actually different from traditional players, because he has maintained the habit of "not retiring" very well, and at the same time, his style of play often appears casual, loose, and unconstrained.

This trait not only makes his skills a bit rough, but also makes his play style eclectic, and often has unexpected ways of handling the ball, which makes Zhang Benkuang suffer a lot.

This also proves that the Swedish brother has a very delicate touch, so he can hit this kind of random ball with inspiration.

Zhang Benkuang felt the tremendous pressure. He began to roar continuously to cheer himself up. His roar in the voice changer was hoarse like rubbing iron, which made the spectators extremely uncomfortable. Some even covered their ears. I have to say, he Although this talent called "Prestige" sounds a little funny, the actual combat effect is really good.

Morad, on the other hand, has a bad temper, and he also belongs to the kind with extremely poor self-control ability. After being yelled at by Zhang Benkuang for more than ten times, he was actually angry and threw a racket at Zhang Benkuang, almost hitting Zhang Benkuang in the face. , so frightened that Zhang Benkuang's roar turned a corner halfway, and rose again just before it was about to stop, forcing a broken tenor.

The audience roared with laughter, but Zhang Benkuang turned pale with fright.

Many viewers remembered at this time that when they played T2 last time, the irritable brother seemed to have smashed the racket too, but last time he smashed it on the ground, this time he smashed it on the opponent's face.

The referee responded quickly and gave Morad a red card with a serious warning. If he commits another crime, he will be directly disqualified from the game.

In fact, this level of bad behavior is enough to directly suspend the game, but at this time Morad has been recognized as the heir of Lao Wa in Sweden at this time. The referee did not respect the legendary Lao Wa Morad made a death move.

However, Morad was not convinced, cursed, picked up the racket, and continued to play.

This twists and turns obviously affected Zhang Benkuang. The 15-year-old boy was frightened by the irritable brother. He couldn't shout out, and his performance began to change. Originally, he led 2:1 in the first three rounds, but from this moment on, the situation took a turn for the worse. , was actually chased by Morad for three consecutive rounds, and won with a big score of 4:2.

In the end, Zhang Benkuang, who had high hopes in Sakura China, was eliminated and fell to the final step of the qualifying round.

So far, all the qualifying rounds are over, and the 16 players entering the main round include Wang Chao, Lu Feiyang, Morad, Qiu Shang, and there are also some people with bluffing names but not too strong, such as the so-called Peacock King. Naka of Ghana, the number one brother in China, is known as Alur, the number one brother in Africa.

Although there are many first brothers, they all come from the Ping-Pong Desert, so they don't deserve special attention.

The organizer drew lots again, and this time, it really attracted the attention of all the people, because almost all the players at this stage are already familiar figures to the fans.

So every name that is read next can trigger exclamation and booing from the audience.

Half an hour later, the dust settled, and the battle situation of the eight groups clearly appeared on the big screen.

District 1/8: Xiao Fei, xx, xx, Yan Ping'an.

District 2/8: Bayer, xx, xx, Lin Zijun.

District 3/8: Shuiniaoying, Wang Chao, xx, Zhu Shixian.

District 4/8: K. Michelle, xx, Lu Feiyang, Li Zhengzhi.

District 5/8: Ochumelov, Arul, xx, Wolf.

District 6/8: Weng Chunting, Morad, xx, He Junjie.

District 7/8: Hook, Qiu Shang, xx, Pick.

District 8/8: Lin Li, Ghana Naka, xx, Fang Xiaobo.

For those in the know, as long as they glance at this matchup list, they can roughly know which games are worth paying attention to.

In the first round of the group stage, strictly speaking, there was only one game worth paying attention to, and that was Wang Chao's fight against the water bird eagle.

This is an absolute sense of grievances.

In T2 last year, the Sakura people were full of confidence and wanted to keep the championship in the country, but they were disrupted by Huaping in the end. In the whole process of spoiling the game, the most heartbreaking thing for the Sakura people was undoubtedly the match between Water Bird and Zhu Ding.

"Water Bird Eagle with a bad waist" almost became the laughing stock of the world table tennis circle in the following months. The screenshot of Water Bird Eagle pressing his waist and opening his mouth and crying went crazy on the Internet. He was overwhelmed by the black fans of Sakura Country, and he dared not go out on the street for more than a month, because some fans really threatened to beat him every time they saw him.

Waterfowl Eagle is only good at moving his mouth, not his fists. In order not to suffer from the pain of his flesh, he lived a rather suffocated life, that is, he dared to relax a little when he went abroad.

He urgently needs a game to restore his reputation, but unfortunately, he will never meet Zhu Ding again, so he will never want to take revenge in his life.

Then, the next best thing is that he has to beat a sufficiently important Huaping player so that the black fans can forgive him, don't ask the black fans to give him a thumbs up, at least don't hit him once.

Then, Wang Chao, who won the T2 championship, is of course the best candidate.

It is also because of this that Shuiniaoying made a special trip to watch Wang Chao's qualifying match. He really, really wanted to meet Wang Chao.

Now that he is benevolent, he is very happy, but it is not easy, because he has seen something terrible from the match between Wang Chao and Zou Zhengyu.

It's good to win, but if you lose, you will really be torn apart.

Black fans will not only meet and beat them once on the street, but also send razor blades and dead mice home.

There are even more extreme black fans, and it is possible to bring tools directly to knock on the door.

In addition, there are two other games worthy of ordinary attention, namely Lu Feiyang vs. Li Zhengzhi, and Weng Chunting vs. Morad.

At present, Lu Feiyang has only one winning record with reference value, which is the elimination of Zhuang Huishen in T2, but Zhuang Huishen is old after all, and his strength has declined seriously, which is far from enough to test Lu Feiyang's true strength.

As for Li Zhengzhi, although he is temporarily ranked 15th in the world, which is quite high, he was beaten so badly by Lin Zijun in T2 that many people thought that Li Zhengzhi had already been beaten back to his original form.

After all, the style of play of Yingzhi and single juniper itself is extreme. On the one hand, it has a strong and invincible attack power, and on the other hand, it has a fatal weakness that is easy to be mobilized. So when Li Zhengzhi meets an opponent, does his strength override his weakness? Well, whether or not the weakness will drag down the strength, it all depends on the opponent's style.

In Lu Feiyang's first show, his style of play was very simple and rough, but because he came from Huaping and had a good evaluation within Huaping, no one in the world table tennis world dared to say that Lu Feiyang would only be simple and rough.

After all, Huaping is rich in various silver coins.

So whether Lu Feiyang can perfectly restrain Li Zhengzhi with his delicate ball-handling style of play is the biggest suspense in this game.

And Weng Chunting beat Morad...

To be honest, before today, no one thought that Morad would pose a threat to Weng Chunting, because Weng Chunting ranked 9th in the world, which is really a very high ranking, and he can be regarded as a top player outside the Chinese National Table Tennis Association.

But the problem is that Morad exposed too much in the game against Zhang Benkuang.

He defeated Zhang Benkuang not only by hitting his face with the racket, but also by the delicate touch implied by his unconstrained and unconstrained style of play.

Being able to hit unconventional balls with non-standard postures at will means that his control of the small ball has reached the point of proficiency.

And his multiple line changes, speed changes, and length changes in that game proved that although this little brother is irritable, he is by no means brainless. On the contrary, he played smarter than 90.00% of professional players.

This has to remind people of the table tennis legend Lao Wa.

Back then, Lao Wa had an invincible forehand and a steady and fine backhand.

You see, all these traits are almost exactly the same as Morad.

The Swedes claimed that Morad was the descendant of Lao Wa a long time ago, but the world table tennis circles don't believe it, because Lao Wa is very arrogant.

People like K. Michel and M. Michel, who can reach the world ranking of 11, are definitely super geniuses, but because of their different styles, Lao Wa Bird doesn't like them.

But now the world table tennis world believes that this Morad is probably really a direct disciple of Lao Wa.

This means too much.

In fantasy novels, those peerless holy places that are hidden from the outside world, once a disciple comes out of the mountain to become a world walker, they must have extremely strong strength, because only in this way can they not lose face of the holy places.

Right now, this Morad, could it be that he came out of the mountain on behalf of Lao Wa?
With this conjecture, everyone's evaluation of Mollard's combat effectiveness was raised by three points out of thin air, abruptly raised an 18-year-old rookie to the level where he could compete with Weng Chunting, and even his strange racket was given a mystery meaning.

After a brief half-hour rest, the first round of the Hong Kong Open finally officially kicked off.

The biggest difference between the main match and the qualifying match is that every match now has commentary, multi-angle cameras, and replays of wonderful scenes.

Of course, in order to ensure efficiency, it is impossible for everyone to stare at one table. Eight tables are still playing at the same time, and the live broadcast sources of each table are all open. The major live broadcast platforms will naturally arrange the weight according to the importance of the game. Different commentators explain different scenes.

On the Yinqiu Feiwu live broadcast website far away in Huaguo, within a few minutes, Brother Da Ma, who was in charge of the live broadcast commentary on the No. [-] table, found that his live broadcast room was flooded by barrage.

It was on this table that Wang Chao vs. Water Bird Eagle.

At this moment, the backstage statistics of the Silver Ball Flying Dance website operation department clearly showed that 90.00% of the current users had already flooded into Da Ma Ge's live broadcast room.

As for Lu Feiyang vs. Li Zhengzhi, who were playing on table 8 at the same time, the remaining [-]% of the users were not distributed, because after all, some fans would watch his live broadcast because they simply liked a certain player.

Like Xiao Fei who is number two in the world, and Lin Zijun who is shy and innocent, don't they deserve to attract fans?If you dare to say that you are not worthy, your mother fan will dare to kill you.

Standing in front of the table, Wang Chao was very calm.

In a sense, Shui Niaoying is the most difficult foreign association player he has encountered after crossing over, and he is also the highest-ranked foreign association player in the world. He has only met a player of this level before, and that is Hua. The table tennis base beats Baifeng.

He calculated that game from beginning to end, and finally took advantage of Bai Feng's character flaws to kill Bai Feng.

But the water bird eagle does not have the personality flaws of Bai Feng.

This person has a bad mouth, but he is not stupid. On the contrary, Mizutaka is a very smart genius. He is praised by the people of Sakura Country as a unique genius who meets once in a thousand years.

In the past, the water bird eagle had the common faults of geniuses, weak will and lack of fighting spirit. Many times, he would choose to give up because the battle situation was too difficult, but today, there is no doubt that water bird eagle has unprecedented fighting spirit, and he must win.

If he loses again, he will hardly be able to survive in the country.

God knows how long he hasn't been to Ginza.

For the sake of the nightclub, for the female star, and for the wear and tear of his old waist that has been rehabilitated, he will risk his life and win this victory.

Chao Wang smiled.

He was thinking, just so, he had the same need.

Because not long ago, Shui Niaoying just passed Luo Jiu with a bad mouth, and his statement was exactly the same as that of Sun Tianlong, who said that there was something wrong with Luo Jiu's rubber, and the granule glue on the back was completely opportunistic, and predicted that when the granule glue is familiar to other players , Luo Jiu will fall to the altar and never get up again.

Luo Jiu was so angry that he was half dead, but there was nothing he could do.

Because obviously, the water bird eagle who dared to say such a thing was already mentally prepared to "avoid Luo Jiu strategically", just as he had been strategically avoiding Sun Tianlong all these years.

Throughout this year, Shui Niaoying will never allow himself to appear in the same open with Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu.

With his status as the No. [-] brother of Sakura Country, he can choose the game he wants to play at will.

And if he really meets these two people in the three major competitions that are difficult to part with, he can also choose whether to abstain according to his on-the-spot status.

Don't doubt that a waterfowl eagle can do this kind of thing.

He is not only a water bird eagle with no taboos, but also a shameless water bird eagle.

Even this time, the reason why he had to win against Wang Chao was definitely not because he wanted to get back the lost face.

He just wants to be able to go shopping with female stars normally in China.

So Luo Jiu called Wang Chao and asked Wang Chao to avenge himself if he had the chance.

For this reason, he even said "you and I love brothers, humiliating me is humiliating you".

You said, why did Wang Chao refuse?

The referee blew his whistle, and he tossed the coin high, drawing a bright silver line under the light.

Game start.
