Ping Pong Life

Chapter 281
Another seeded player, Bai Feng, ranked No. 7 in the world and the world's No. [-] Chinese-style straight bar, lost to Swedish teenager Mollard under circumstances that no one expected.

From the perspective of technical stability, Baifeng played without any problems in this game. He was on stage in almost every attack, and every time he pulled the ball, he was successful. However, it was difficult for him to kill him with this level of attack alone. Morad.

Morad's octagonal racket has been thoroughly analyzed by many insiders in the past six months. It is said that it has a better hitting sweet spot and is more suitable for players to perform fast swings. Some are similar to Sakura straight single juniper.

But equipment is equipment, and people are people. Morad can win not only because the special attributes of this racket make people uncomfortable, but because he can really make full use of the advantages of this racket.

His ball rhythm is extremely fast, and his style of play is tricky. Because of his unique racket, the movement of pulling the ball and the quality of the ball are often unexpected. At the same time, he also has the natural advantage of European strength. Whether it is the backhand position or the backhand position, they can hit extremely sharp kills from near or in the middle.

If you have to say that he has any flaws, it is that the table tennis is still not rigorous enough, and the details are still a bit rough, which needs to be improved urgently.

However, Bai Feng is also a rough guy, and he never plays tricks. Even after being counted dead by Wang Chao last year, he still didn't change his mind. So this time, at least half of his failure came from Morad's IQ. pressure.

In this game, the Swedish little brother really showed some of the characteristics of the legendary Laowa's play style. There are stretches and relaxations, fast and slow, soft and hard, which can be described as extremely clever.

He just has a grumpy personality, but definitely not a grumpy mind. In fact, judging from his playing style, this person has a very exquisite heart.

These two defeats can be said to have torn off Huaping's last fig leaf.

Apart from Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu who have been the main players of Huaping over the years, the other three have obviously lost their dominance when facing players from foreign associations.

In the past, the days when Huaping could send any main player to win the championship, now it is officially announced that it is gone forever.

There are fans on the forum who are still seeking to make up for the players, saying that Lin Li missed because Qin Huachang did not come to guide him in person, and Bai Feng missed because coach Wang Lu's on-the-spot guidance ability is limited, but this kind of statement was quickly used by more trolls The obscenities were drowned out.

Yes, the trolls on the Silver Ball Flying Dance forum have already started.

Over the past six months, all Huaping's external battles have been like walking a tightrope. Sometimes there will be extremely powerful players standing up, giving people a feeling of indestructibility, and sometimes, there will be very bad players coming out. People think that Huaping is only mediocre. In the final analysis, it is the same sentence that foreign associations have said many times: Huaping is out of gear.

This kind of outage is not just that there are no successors, but that even the five main players in their prime have started to have problems one after another.

It has been a long, long time since the feeling of incomparable peace of mind before.

This is a very special time.

Huaping in this era obviously has the strongest players in history, but it happens to be the weakest time overall.

In addition to Huaping in this era, countless associations have begun to rise, like mushrooms after a spring rain, wave after wave, which cannot be suppressed.

At first, Huaping studied Hu Ke, but Lin Zijun rose to prominence.

So Huaping studied Lin Zijun, and as a result, Pique rose.

Huaping began to study Pique, but this time, Sisfield, Qiu Shang, and Morad appeared one after another.

This kind of feeling is like whack-a-mole. You are obviously trying hard to hit it, but you hit it. When you look down, there are holes all over the ground. Countless gophers have drilled out, and they have already dug your home thousands of times. riddled with sores.

The three who have risen today do not have a particularly obvious super-evolutionary trend, but their foundation is good enough and their style of play is advanced enough. What they have shown so far is enough to destroy the self-confidence of Huaping fans.

Lin Li, who has the highest quality veneer in Huaping, was crushed by Sissfield in terms of veneer quality.

Huaping's strongest candy bar was perfectly resolved by the Swedish teenager.

The candy bars of the foreign associations blow up our main players.

Under such a premise, Fang Xiaobo's loss to Bayer seemed calm and even taken for granted.

After all, even Lin Li and Baifeng could lose, so why couldn't Fang Xiaobo lose?

What's more, he lost to the king of Europe.

……

That night, Wang Chao received a call from Luo Jiu.

Luo Jiu was still the same, as soon as the phone was connected, he was over there in a strange mood: "Little brother, you are amazing, you have wiped out my brother Long. By the way, are you number one in the world?"

Wang Chao ignored his teasing, and asked instead: "Brother, is life difficult now?"

The twittering Luo Jiu couldn't stop immediately, and the other end of the phone was quiet for a long time before he sighed: "Hey, yes, I'm under a lot of pressure, to tell you the truth, I'm afraid I'm going to lose sleep tonight, I went to see Lao He just now, and Lao He suggested that I practice more at night. I went to Lao Cai again. Lao Cai told me a lot of truths. I had no choice but to talk to Lao Wang. After all, he is an outsider. Well... guess what happened?"

Wang Chao was amused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"He went with Lao Zhu together." Luo Jiu said with a smile: "Bai Feng and Lu Feiyang are two unlucky bastards who are training there in the middle of the night. They are said to be eliminated anyway, and they are idle when they are idle. Why don't you go earlier? After practicing, they invited me to join, so I ran away quickly."

Luo Jiu spoke lightly, as if talking about cross talk, but Wang Chao knew in his heart that Luo Jiu must be under more pressure than a mountain, otherwise, at this point, he would not have called himself.

He must have been overwhelmed, but there was no one to talk to, so he thought of looking for himself.

In this afternoon's match, three Huaping players were eliminated in a row. As a result, all the pressure was on Luo Jiu.

"Little brother, I really admire you when I think about it. You were in the same situation as me in the port area a month ago." Luo Jiu sighed: "But I don't have as good a mentality as you, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it." .”

Wang Chao expressed his understanding.

Although Luo Jiu is smart, he is very sunny, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart. All his IQ is used on pure technology, and because he has been improving technology for the past seven years, he has not actually been suppressed, because At that time, Sun Tianlong didn't look down on him at all. Even if he had to choose the target of suppression, he would choose Lin Li or Bai Feng.

So Luo Jiu is actually a little more fragile than imagined.

Even though he is now confident that his strength has entered the realm of invincibility, this invincibility is within the scope of reason and does not include some unreasonable players.

In fact, most of the super geniuses who have recently emerged are not very reasonable, and they are all based on their physical conditions.

So Luo Jiu is actually not very afraid of Lin Zijun, Qiu Shang, and Morad, but he is more afraid of Hu Ke and Sisfield.

Subconsciously, Wang Chao glanced at the list of the quarter-finals that he had just found on the screen of his mobile phone.

Luo Jiu vs Heathfield.

Morad vs. Weng Chunting.

Lin Zijun vs Pique.

Bayer vs Hooke.

Although there are three Chinese in the quarterfinals, both Hong Kong and Bay Island are participating independently, so in a sense, Luo Jiu is a perfect replica of Wang Chao's situation in the Hong Kong Open a month ago , became the only Huaping seedling in the quarterfinals.

The difference is that Wang Chao was still able to bargain with Cai Guodong at that time, so he didn't have to bear this burden.

But Luo Jiu came to participate in this competition, but he came with the mission of winning the championship.

After much deliberation, Wang Chao finally came up with a comforting word: "Don't worry, according to the usual practice, Hu Ke will lose the chain in the middle. Besides, he will fight Uncle Bai tomorrow, and I think he will probably lose."

When these words came out, Luo Jiu was shocked: "Bah, bah, Tong Yan Wuji, the wind blows away, Wang Chao, Wang Chao, do you want me to die? When is this, and you dare to plant the flag?"

Wang Chao was stunned.

After chatting with Luo Jiu for a while, Wang Chao just hung up the phone, only to find another call came in. This time it was even more strange, it was actually Cai Guodong who was far away in Tianfu City.

Lao Cai has been exhausted all day today, and he still has time to look for me?
Wang Chao connected with doubts, and he heard Cai Guodong say over there: "Wang Chao, get ready, you can go to the Swedish Open next month."

Wang Chao let out an "ah" in surprise.

Cai Guodong was obviously in a bad mood, and he didn't speak in a good mood: "Ah, what, do you think I want you to go? It's not a good thing you did today... Okay, let me tell you straight, Sun Tianlong's injury has relapsed, go Forget it, he offered to let you go."

Wang Chao didn't dare to agree directly, he thought carefully for two seconds, and asked cautiously: "Head coach, if I go, do I have to replace Brother Long to complete the task?"

"You're a genius, and you won't take any losses." Although Cai Guodong was in a low mood, he laughed angrily at his attitude: "You think I'm begging you, and you're still bargaining with me? If not Sun Tianlong insists on letting you go, believe it or not, I will turn around and let Xiao Fei and..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, unable to continue.

Originally, he wanted to talk about Xiao Fei, Lin Li, Bai Feng and others, but he suddenly remembered that Lin Li and Bai Feng had just lost face a lot today, how could he be convincing when he said this?

He even felt that under the current circumstances, sending three generals, Xiao Fei, Lin Li, and Bai Feng, might not be able to bring back the champion.

On the contrary, it was Wang Chao...

Cai Guodong hurriedly stopped, not daring to think about it anymore.

He had vaguely realized that Wang Chao's reliability in his mind was very high a long time ago, but only now did he realize that this reliability has actually been raised to such a degree.

Is it because he beat Sun Tianlong today?
Cai Guodong quickly adjusted his mood, changed the subject, and said, "Are you going? If you don't, I'll hang up."

Wang Chao sighed helplessly in his heart.

Obviously, this is to catch the ducks on the shelves.

He didn't have to go, and Cai Guodong had no reason to force him, but the problem was, he couldn't bear it.

Each of these opportunities was obtained with great effort at the cake distribution conference.

But if he wants to go, then he can't go there easily. Since he is going to fight for Sun Tianlong, he has to take on the task of Sun Tianlong, that is, he must win the championship.

He will bear the same burden as Luo Jiu today.

So he said, "Can I ask, who else is going?"

Cai Guodong was so angry that he hummed three times in a row, but he didn't hang up the phone after all, and said patiently: "I'm afraid there are not many people, because there are too many people who lost the foreign war this time, who do you want the rest to be?" Go, you can bring it up, I'll think about it."

This is also the practice of Huaping. If a player loses a foreign game, they will be banned for at least one round, and some will not be allowed to play in international competitions for half a year. This time, Lin Li, Bai Feng, Yan Pingan, and Fang Xiaobo all lost the foreign game. As for Lu Fei Yang and Sun Zhongwen not only lost the foreign competition, but also did not come out of the qualifying round, so in theory, only Xiao Fei is still qualified to play in the Swedish Open next month.

Of course, Liang Kunpeng and Gao Mingyuan were also qualified, but Cai Guodong knew in his heart that what Wang Chao wanted was a helper who could help clear the mines, and they could not be counted on for the time being.

Of course, if Luo Jiu can win the championship this time, he can continue to compete next time, but if Luo Jiu goes, then it would be inappropriate for Wang Chao to go again.

After all, Cai Guodong also has the consideration of "the king will not see the king". Today Wang Chao wiped out Sun Tianlong, which has greatly disrupted some of his plans. Next, he will never allow Wang Chao to fight with Sun Tianlong before the Olympics. Luo Jiu has a chance of a head-on collision.

Wang Chao pondered carefully for a few seconds before saying, "I am willing to play against Sweden, and I am willing to take responsibility, but the head coach, someone must accompany me."

Hearing his formal tone, Cai Guodong was completely aroused and asked, "Who?"

Wang Chao said, "Fan Xiaodong."
