Ping Pong Life

Chapter 234 The Lone Wolf in Desperate Situation
Of course, Morad didn't please. He was severely warned by the staff on the spot, and wanted to ban him from the game and drive him out of the game.

At the same time, the dissatisfied spectators in the port area started booing wildly, and some people threw mineral water bottles on the No. 3 court.

No matter how irritable the little brother was, he panicked at this point and began to apologize frantically.

Immediately afterwards, his elder brother, the Swedish top card player K. Michel, came over after hearing the news and interceded for mercy. Afterwards, even the head coach of the Swedish national team, Persson, came along with the team. plead.

Thanks to Lao Wa, Sweden does have a bit of a slack in the world table tennis world. After a lot of hard work, the staff turned their attention to Weng Chunting, who had just been defeated and was now stunned, and Hong Kong, who had already heard the news. District head coach Cai Guoqiang.

Cai Guoqiang looked at Weng Chunting, apparently intending to respect the contestants' own opinions.

"It doesn't matter, just let him advance." Weng Chunting's self-cultivation is very good, but his plastic Mandarin is a bit ridiculous: "Xu Zheng, I really haven't hit him, it doesn't matter if he kicks the baffle or not. "

So the official finally withdrew the suspension decision.

But a public apology is a must, and a fine is also a must. There are still a series of troubles and trivial matters in the follow-up, all of which are waiting for the Swedish Table Tennis Association to deal with headaches.

At this moment, Michelle and Persson smiled wryly at each other, but Morad, who was in trouble, was elated because he could finally continue fighting. He rushed up, held Weng Chunting's hand tightly, and shook it vigorously while chattering. A lot of foreign languages ​​that I don't understand at all.

He was probably expressing his gratitude, but Weng Chunting only felt a buzzing in his ears. As a 28-year-old veteran, he felt that the kid in front of him was a little noisy.

Wang Chao watched this farce from afar, and while being amused, secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

He watched several games of Morad in T2 last year, and felt that Morad had great potential at that time, but after all, potential is not strength, and Morad could only be regarded as a promising future at that time.

But today, his victory over Weng Chunting is considered a great feat.

Considering Weng Chunting's strength, Morad's progress rate is a bit scary.

"Could it be the next Pique?" Wang Chao had such a thought in his heart.

Another 10 minutes later, the first round of the group stage was over.

There were no miracles in the remaining matchups.

Although He Junjie conceded a goal because of being frightened, he finally won the game without any risk and entered the top 16, but he was at a loss because he appeared here only to walk Weng Chunting into the top eight. Now Weng Chunting He was eliminated, what should he do?
Online and so on, urgent.

In District 5, Ochumelov from Belarus easily defeated Arul from Africa with a score of 4:2, while Wolff, the No.

In District 7, Hooker and Pique joined forces to qualify.

In the 8th district, Lin Li easily defeated Ghana Naka, the first brother of the Peacock Country, and Fang Xiaobo also scored 4-0.

As a result, the top 16 list was officially released, and all the boring parts of this open competition have also come to an end. What follows will be a series of focus battles that will make the audience very excited.

District 1, Xiao Fei vs Yan Ping'an.

District 2, Bayer vs. Lin Zijun.

District 3, Wang Chao vs Zhu Shixian.

District 4, K. Michel VS Lu Feiyang.

District 5, Ochumelov vs Wolff.

District 6, Morad vs He Junjie.

District 7, Hooke vs Pique.

District 8, Lin Li vs Fang Xiaobo.

In previous Opens, the contestants would not be so uniform. Even if they reached the top 16 or even the top 8, there would be some bastards among them, and sometimes there would be potential stocks with strong strength but not enough reputation.

But this time is different, this time there are too many registered players, but very few accidentally failed in the qualifying round, so entering the top 16 stage, everyone found that almost all of them are famous players, and every matchup is full of excitement. point.

Either it's full of suspense, or it's a rookie slaughtering a god, or it's a past grievance, or it's a battle to the top.

The two Huaping civil wars are undoubtedly the focus, but the most exciting is the double-gram duel between Hook and Pique, which is the European version of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.

Under such circumstances, He Junjie from District 6 seemed a little embarrassed.

He is a player selected by the host country, and he is far behind in terms of strength, qualifications, and reputation. He is shivering among these big shots, waiting to be crushed in the next round.

Another hour later, the 16-to-8 match officially started.

This time it was more formal, the number of tables was reduced from 8 to 4, and the eight duels were also played in two batches.

The first thing to do is the duel in the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 8th districts.

This kind of distribution is also particular. According to the serpentine sorting when the seed is initially selected, the players who win in the 1st and 4th districts will automatically become the opponents of the next round. Similarly, the winners of the 5th and 8th districts Also automatically become the opponent in the next round.

Wang Chao will not play for the time being, he chooses to watch the match between Xiao Fei and Yan Ping'an.

In terms of strength, Xiao Fei is almost certain to win, so what Wang Chao depends on is not the result of the competition, but Xiao Fei's performance on the spot.

Although he wants to stick to the domineering style of play now, it doesn't mean that he has become brainless. For a super strong player like Xiao Fei who is ranked second in the world, Wang Chao must make great efforts to study it carefully.

He had carefully studied the videos of the five main players in Huaping before, and after he decided to participate in the Hong Kong Open, he dug out and watched all the videos of Xiao Fei, but even so, he still needed to watch the scene.

Many times, the really important details are not visible on video.

When the director is broadcasting the game, he chooses the most comfortable viewing angle for the audience. Even if there are highlight clips replayed, they are all highly enjoyable clips. In addition, most of the time the camera follows the ball. .

But in fact, the places that can really reflect the strength of the players are those places that the cameras can't see.

For example, how do the feet that are blocked by the table move when catching the ball, which foot is in front and which foot is behind.

For example, when the ball is not on the player's side, what state is the player in, relaxed or tense.

For example, what exactly is the player's eyes staring at?

These things have to be seen on the spot to see the clues.

Wang Chao regards Xiao Fei as the biggest opponent in the upper half. According to the grouping, if he wants to enter the top four, he must defeat Xiao Fei in the eighth round.

But Wang Chao never expected that after a long hour, Xiao Fei was eliminated by Yan Pingan 4:2.

This is undoubtedly another super upset today.

Xiao Fei played without any problems. He played normally in the whole court. No matter what kind of technique he used, he was very reasonable and mature. High standard as it should be.

But Yan Ping'an completely exploded today.

The game was played very fiercely, and the tension in the atmosphere was suffocating. From the very beginning, Yan Ping'an put on a fierce and desperate attitude.

He is a player with very comprehensive left and right hand skills, the only difference is strength, but today, he really went all out. When he had the opportunity to attack, he almost rushed with all his life.

There was a desolate madness all over his body, as long as he saw a slight chance, he would attack desperately, like a madman.

He is usually a very restrained player, and only shouted at critical moments, but this time, he was like Zhang Benkuang, shouting from the beginning to the end, and his voice was a bit hoarse at the end.

He is old, 29 years old, and his temperament is gradually becoming mature and stable. He is no longer as easy to excite himself as a young man like him, so he can only forcefully mobilize his emotions through this slightly exaggerated roar. The body is always in the most active and concentrated state.

He felt that the blood in his whole body was burning, as if burning his life.

Because he is indeed burning life.

Just one day ago, in the auditorium on table 13, when he saw Zou Zhengyu being defeated by Wang Chao with a completely targeted strategy, he saw Zou Zhengyu desperately saving the ball again and again in the last round, and again and again. The first time he was beaten completely, seeing Zou Zhengyu slumped directly on Wang Chao's shoulder after the match, he felt something shatter in his heart.

It wasn't his heart that was broken, but his reason.

He saw his own tragic ending from Zou Zhengyu.

He is the most sane of all time in the trailing trio. Unlike the other two, one has a super forehand and the other has a super backhand, he is relatively weak, lacks strength, lacks passion, and advocates technical ball and control ball.

But when his sanity was lost, he suddenly wanted to be presumptuous.

He knew that excessive desperation at this time would only make the injury worse, but he didn't want to take care of it so much.

He is like an enraged bull, he must kill the person standing in front, no matter if this person is a teammate of Huaping or an opponent of a foreign association.

What Zou Zhengyu failed to do, he had to help Zou Zhengyu complete.

They made an appointment a long time ago, and this year they will get a medal no matter what, their request is really humble, anyone can get it, as long as one medal, just one, even a bronze medal.

But Zou Zhengyu had completely lost his chance, only him and Fang Xiaobo were left.

However, he was facing Xiao Fei, and Fang Xiaobo was facing Lin Li.

How should I take the cards?

He knew that even if he worked hard to death, he would never want to beat Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong. Then, when Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu were away, he really had no room to retreat.

He became a lone wolf cornered.

He has to win.

To win everyone except Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu.

Even Xiao Fei, who is ranked second in the world, can never block his way forward.

He is crazy.

Then he won the first game, lost the second game, won the third game and lost the fourth game.

Then, Xiao Fei seemed to collapse, allowing him to easily win the fifth and sixth rounds.

In this way, with bruises all over his body, he tore a bloody piece of flesh from Xiao Fei's body, and stepped into the top eight with his head held high.

This game was very exciting and there were many rounds, because Yan Ping'an's best skill is purely technical style of play, which is destined to use a lot of consecutive left-handed and left-handed moves.

Usually he doesn't retreat very much, not because he wants to play fast, but because he doesn't have enough strength, and he doesn't have the power to retreat.

But today he retreated a lot, and Xiao Fei did the same, so the back and forth between the two sides was extremely fierce.

But for such a wonderful game, the audience seldom applauded and cheered, and the atmosphere of their watching the game was relatively silent.

Because even the audience could see the tragic aura of "success or benevolence" in Yan Ping'an, they were a little overwhelmed.

They are used to watching friendly duels in peaceful times where sports are used instead of wars, and suddenly seeing this kind of battle with obvious bloody, violent, chaotic, and desperate atmosphere feels a little uncomfortable.

But when Yan Pingan finally won, they all chose to stand up and gave warm and long applause.

Hong Kong audiences have a natural affection for Huaping, and they are willing to pay tribute to a certain spirit in this way.

But the problem was that while they were applauding, another group of spectators stood up two tables away from them and began to applaud crazily. The enthusiasm was no less than here.

This made everyone very surprised and couldn't help but look over there.

The audience over there was also very surprised, and they also looked this way.

Then Wang Chao learned an extremely shocking news: Fang Xiaobo defeated Lin Li 4:2 on the fourth table.

At this moment, the emotions of the audience in the port area were only shock and surprise, and there was also a trace of excitement, because they had watched the ball for so many years, and it was the first time they saw so many big upsets on the spot, so that they were a little dazed , I don’t understand what went wrong inside Huaping.

The audience on table four also saw the desperate madness from Fang Xiaobo.

And the fans from foreign associations who watched the webcast were all crazy with joy. They saw the world's top ten Huaping players being eliminated internally, and they only had to beat the drums and crowns to celebrate.

Watching the fun of Huaping, is there anything more enjoyable in the world than this?
Only Wang Chao's heart skipped a beat at this moment, realizing that something was wrong.

He was about to get up to look for He Jingping, when he heard another commotion not far away, the referee of table 3 stood up and gestured "the game is over".

Wang Chao glanced at the scoreboard, and with his super vision, he could see the score on the board clearly.

k. Michelle 4: 2 Lu Feiyang.

The score of the last round was fixed at 11:7, and another Huaping player was eliminated.

Michelle didn't seem too excited. Based on his world ranking, he thought it was no accident that he eliminated Lu Feiyang. During the whole game, he didn't feel how good Lu Feiyang was, which made him more confident in his judgment.

"His strength itself only goes so far. Isn't it a matter of course for me to defeat him? What is there to be proud of?"

He didn't know that the Huaping coaching staff's evaluation of Lu Feiyang at the beginning of the new year was actually directly against Weng Chunting.
