Ping Pong Life

Chapter 247 The Burning Pique

Before today, Michelle actually didn't understand the meaning of Lao Wa's words.

In this generation where anti-adhesive double-sided arcs are popular all over the world, he doesn't understand why he should change to a positive rubber that obviously reduces spin and lowers the power of hitting the ball.

But when he played against Wang Chao today, he really realized his own shortcomings.

Wang Chao has been attacking his forehand, forcing him to pull the ball, and then began to move positively and negatively in the stalemate. In this simple and rough movement, Michelle found that he just couldn't handle it.

There were many times when he didn't want to pull the ball with his forehand anymore. He felt that at that time, if he skimmed the board, rubbed the board, or even swayed a short ball lightly, he might be able to interrupt Wang Chao's mercury-like rhythm.

But he just can't do it, because he doesn't have such a fine touch, and the front of the racket in his hand is too spiny, so he can't perfectly resolve the opponent's impact on the ball with a purely defensive way of receiving the ball. various forces.

He really envied people like Sun Tianlong. Sun Tianlong seemed to be able to easily move the racket forward in the face of any difficult and strong spinning ball, and then put out a flawless short ball.

This extreme feel requires the hand, the racket and the rubber to be integrated into one, and Michelle does not have this kind of thing.

In fact, his backhand is much more lethal than his forehand, but he fought Wang Chao for four rounds, and after so many confrontations and stalemates, he couldn't gain the advantage of his backhand at all.

Just because his forehand was completely suppressed.

All questions are on the forehand.

The crux of everything is on the forehand.

What Lao Wa said three years ago was that his forehand had a problem.

The No. 1 vision in the world table tennis world, when I look back three years later, I can realize how accurate it is, so accurate to the point of terror.

"Hey, K, are you still there?" Lao Wa's voice sounded again, interrupting Michelle's memory.

"I'm still here." Michelle's throat became more and more dry, he took a deep breath, and tried to put his tone in the most respectful level: "I already know that I was wrong, please... can you still guide me now?" Do you want to make technical changes?"

Lao Wa didn't let it go, he let out a hehehe laughter, and then said spontaneously: "Come on, K, I prepared the rubber for you three years ago, it has been in my safe for so long I don’t know if it can still be used now.”

Michelle was relieved, and then a little ashamed.

He still underestimated the capacity and self-cultivation of Lao Wa, a table tennis legend. He didn't expect any ridicule, difficulty or even request. Lao Wa wanted to help him improve his skills without any purpose related to profit. After watching his game, I think he can have a higher ceiling, that's all.

Lao Wa didn't even need him to inherit the concept, because Lao Wa had clearly selected Morad, so when he was high-spirited three years ago, he thought Lao Wa was here to catch the heat, but Lao Wa didn't even look at it. on yourself?
In fact, when Lao Wa accepted Morad, he took the initiative to call directly. It is said that the irritable brother was stunned and thought he had encountered a scam.

"Okay, I'm going to book tickets now, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." Michelle hesitated for a moment before asking the rest of the question: "Can I ask a question in advance... Well, just take it as my satisfaction I'm curious, what kind of rubber do you want me to replace?"

Lao Wa is still frank: "Positive rubber, particles, and specific attributes need to be tested in detail when you come. K, I think you should not play arcs with forehands, but should play fast breaks, and your strength should not It is used to create friction, but it should be used to slap directly, only in this way, after you have mastered the forehand initiative, you can play the power that your backhand loop should have."

He paused, and then said: "In fact, this is a system. I studied it when I was bored in the past few years. I think it is feasible. If you need it, I can teach you everything."

Michelle has nothing to say, because the technical and tactical system is actually priceless in a sense.

You must know that the core of the reason why the coaches of Huaping will be commensurate with the players they are in charge of is that the coaches want to create a technical and tactical system for their players.

Every system is a child created by the coach with all his painstaking efforts. He gives the child to the players, so the players become his children. The coach expects the players he cultivates to perform well, and it feels like wishing for a child to become a dragon.

Every system is tailor-made and priceless, but in the past three years, Lao Wa was obviously not sure whether Michelle would change his mind, but he still quietly built this system for him.

This is an extremely great feeling, not for Michelle, but for the return of Swedish table tennis to the top of Europe.

After a very rambling thank you, Michelle hung up.

He suddenly remembered something.

In fact, Huaping player Luo Jiu has been changing rubbers since seven years ago, and once became the laughing stock of the world table tennis world.

Last year, Luo Jiu changed the rubber again. It was a piece of raw rubber that no one expected to be eliminated for countless years. Then Luo Jiu made a great achievement and shared the world with Sun Tianlong.

Looking back 20 years, in fact, Lao Wa also made some strange technical improvements at the end of his career. For example, he customized a special drop-shaped racket. The ball area increases the difficulty of hitting the ball, but Lao Wa insisted on using this racket to defeat many masters when he was old and weak.

This reminds me of Morad, the successor of Laowa, who also uses a very weird octagonal racket?It is hard to say that this racket was not specially designed by Lao Wa for Morad, and it must have its meaning.

In fact, Morad did achieve quite good results with this racket.

Michel suddenly felt the breadth and depth of the table tennis world. In the minds of true masters, nothing is immutable, and there are no rules that must be followed. Even trends are reversible.

Although I once stole a high position in the world rankings, most of my achievements were obtained through hard work and talent. As for the core understanding of table tennis, it is really ridiculously shallow...

Why did I insist that double-sided reverse adhesive is absolutely correct for so many years?
Just because it's a trend?

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Huaping coach He Jingping. This coach has been criticized by the world table tennis for many years, but in the end he used a piece of raw rubber granules to help his disciple Luo Jiu reach an unprecedented ceiling. realm.

Just because of this piece of rubber, coach He Jingping should be the one with the strongest technical ability in the Huaping coaching staff, right?

Michelle thought that Watson had discovered the blind spot, and felt ashamed while feeling ups and downs.

……

At this stage of the game, there is actually not much off-court information that can be said.

In the entire Hong Kong Open, there is only the last game left: Wang Chao vs Pique.

The final championship competition is not only a competition in the Eurasian region, but also a competition for powerful newcomers on both sides of Europe and Asia, and it is also the most direct battle of face.

This point of face is mainly aimed at Europe, because European fans have been drinking champagne since the quarterfinals and have been drinking until now, but they can't drink the sweetest sip. If it didn't come true, then the face would really be pumped until it swelled.

They will become the laughing stock of the world table tennis world, and will be ridiculed by many competition areas such as Asia, Africa, and South America for at least a whole year.

The scene of the three European coaches standing and applauding side by side will become their lifelong shame, and its lethality is as great as social death.

In fact, by this time, people of insight in Europe had already gradually discovered the fact that Wang Chao had super-evolved again, and guessed that it was caused by the Bayer fight, but they dared not say it, because if this matter was admitted, then It's true, you don't need to look at the results of the finals, you've already died ahead of time.

If Wang Chao wins the championship in the end, then the biggest contributors to Wang Chao's championship will be the three head coaches.

The three European coaches wholeheartedly helped the Asian player Wang Chao find the flaws in his style of play, and finally helped Wang Chao defeat the European player Pique and win the Hong Kong Open Championship.

Such a thing, just thinking about it, makes people's scalp numb.

Don't think that European fans are more tolerant, yes, they are slightly more tolerant than Asian fans, but once the behavior of the head coaches teaming up to eat inside and outside is exposed, they will still be smashed.

In the Internet age, everyone is really in danger.

So, on the morning of the fourth match day, when Pique appeared on the field, he looked like he was on fire.

He dyed a head of fiery red hair somewhere, and the roots stood upright in the sky. At a glance, he looked like a burning flame mountain. The visual impact was absolutely full. When he appeared on the stage, the audience screamed.

Yes you heard that right, not cheering, not clapping, but screaming.

The Hong Kong fans, who were originally very Buddhist, were completely stimulated and started booing crazily.

But Pique himself was very serious, frowning slightly, as if he was about to fight a life-and-death duel on the battlefield. When he shook hands with Wang Chao, he even squeezed Wang Chao subconsciously, and then realized that he quickly lowered his head. Vocal "sorry".

You can see the excitement in his heart.

Wang Chao said it was understandable.

Pique must be under unimaginable pressure. He eliminated his European teammates, so he must complete the final task on behalf of the European teammates.

In fact, his performance in the past few years was mediocre, and he suddenly completed the super-evolution at the end of last year. Today, he has only played in the Oman Open and the year-end finals. In fact, he is still very immature, far from adapting to what he has Become a world-class status.

What's more, although he has risen, he was forcibly shot to death by Sun Tianlong in the Oman Open and the year-end finals.

He is super-evolved, but he is not happy at all. His super-evolution experience is very poor, basically he was hit twice by someone. I guess the biggest feeling in his heart is not "I will be number one in the world from now on", but It is "there are heaven and man outside the sky and there are people outside the sky".

In other words, Pique's confidence is insufficient. He is a real new player, not a painted-skinned monster like Wang Chao who hides a 40-year-old Yinbi soul inside. He can't cultivate like Wang Chao in the shortest time. With the heart of a king.

But today he must win the championship, and he has never won the championship before.

This really means driving ducks to the shelves.

So Pique is not calm at all. He has a murderous look on the outside, but he is actually very kind in his heart. If possible, he hopes to replace Wang Chao with Sun Tianlong, so that he can lose with peace of mind, and European fans will not have any complaints against him.

Under such circumstances, the finals started.
