Ping Pong Life

Chapter 285 Wiping the net
Luo Jiu's state suddenly became sluggish.

Whether a player has the desire to fight in the arena is actually clear at a glance.

Luo Jiu in the first three rounds, although he kept losing, even though his nose was bruised and his face was bruised and swollen by the hammer of Hu Ke, at least he was unyielding. He tried his best to find a way for every ball, even if he lost. He never sighed, but kept shouting forcibly to cheer himself up.

But now, Luo Jiu, who has returned to the arena, looks as if his bones have been removed, with his head drooping, lifeless, and his eyes dull. He already looks like a walking dead.

He walked back to the table slowly, and the referee threw the ball to him, but he seemed to have a short-circuit in his brain, stayed for a while, and threw the ball directly to the opposite table.

The referee quickly blew his whistle to signal Luo Jiu's violation and issued a yellow card for warning.

You must know that Hu Ke got the right to serve first in the first round. According to the rules of serve rotation, Luo Jiu should have served first in this round. Throwing it, it is clear that the situation is wrong, and I still want Hook to serve.

How far do you think this mind-wandering has gone?

In this case, the referee can directly draw a red card and punish points, but it is probably because Luo Jiu was beaten too badly today, so the referee still showed some sympathy and only gave him a yellow card, warning him not to fight again. Make trouble.

Behind the baffle, the faces of all the Huaping bigwigs were not very good-looking.

Behind the opposite baffle, Raulskov and others were so excited that they almost stood up and sang the battle song.

Everyone could see that Luo Jiu had been beaten.

Everyone thinks this is normal.

Anyone who was tortured by the opponent's completely unreasonable style of play for half an hour would almost collapse.

Huaping players are indeed generally more resilient, but Luo Jiu is an exception, because he has been on the cusp of technical reforms in the past, and he has not played many good games in the past seven years, and the coaching staff has almost never added to him. The heavy burden, so his ability to resist pressure is not enough.

Well, the above are the opinions of the outside world.

And Luo Jiu was smiling wryly in his heart, he was thinking, little junior brother, little junior brother, I am now gambling with my worldly fame, if the method you give doesn’t work, my image in Lao Cai’s mind will probably plummet up.

It was also against Hook in the final, and Hook was also crazy, but the Dragon Team was able to find a chance to win from the cracks, and you, Luo Jiu, not only failed to win a game, but were also beaten to death Now, tell me, isn't the contrast strong enough?
The distraught Luo Jiu regained the right to serve and served a very strange ball.

The ball was weak, but it was not backspin, but a topspin ball. Judging from the strength of the ball, the ball must have landed at a close point, and the spin was not strong. It seemed that Luo Jiu had given up resistance. So I served a completely different ball, trying to quickly finish the last game and bring it down.

Hook posed in the classic toad squatting pose, thinking in his heart that this was an opportunity.

After all, he dared to attack Luo Jiu's serious short backspin. He didn't even have to think about this kind of topspin near the penalty. Instantly erupted, completing the strong kill.

However, the ball wiped the net, and the referee blew his whistle to signal a replay.

Hook had to squat down again, concentrate, and wait for the next opportunity for the toad to catch flying insects.

However, Luo Jiu hit the net again with his second serve.

Hook had to return to the toad squatting position again, waiting for the opportunity.

Luo Jiu served for the third time and still wiped the net.

By this time, there was already a low hum from the auditorium.

It is particularly easy to get anxious when serving the ball and wiping the net, because the beauty of table tennis is largely reflected in power, spin, arc and fluency, and serving the net is like putting a very smooth The action is abruptly dropped in the middle, and the key is to not continue to play after the card is over, because it is invalid to wipe the net, and it is judged to be a re-serve.

Luo Jiu wiped the net three times in a row, which means he got stuck three times.

Modern people pay great attention to a viewing experience. For example, on various video sites, you can often see titles starting with "extreme comfort". Or use a spoon to scrape a whole piece of honey from the head to the tail with a spoon, or the rotten teeth covered with caries, black spots and macula are strongly repaired to make them white as new.

This is a sensory experience, very mysterious, but it really has something to do with the mood.

For Hook, it's also about status.

Hook himself is an intuitive and instinctive player. He played against Luo Jiu in the first three rounds. Luo Jiu struggled a lot. The ball is constantly stimulated, more and more excited, and when it is strong, it will be strong, so it is natural to hit many magic shots.

This situation is common in all sports fields. It is often when you encounter a strong opponent that you will perform exceptionally and finally achieve a famous game. If the opponent is bad, then even if you play a crushing game, your own performance will be at best. That is the normal level, and it is even possible to let down your vigilance when the opponent is playing badly, and make many insignificant mistakes by yourself.

But now Hook has the opposite problem. His touch is fiery, but Luo Jiu's continuous serve is invalid, but it seems that he keeps calling stop at his excitement point. If I have to make a metaphor, it is probably quite Because the reader is reading a novel, and finally finished reading all the foreshadowing, rendering, rendering, seeing the climax is approaching, but the author broke the chapter.

Readers waited patiently until the next day, thinking that I could finally watch the climax today, but when I went in and took a look, the author's updated chapter actually "split the words into two parts, each expressing a branch", talking about a certain supporting role in another place. s story.

Readers think, I can bear it, although the dog author is getting more and more dog, but after all, this book is good-looking, for the final climax, I will continue to wait.

I finally waited until the third day, seeing that the story of the supporting role was also finished, so it's time to write the big climax, right?

As a result, I went in and took a look, and the author said: "I'm sorry readers, my aunt came recently, and I really don't have time to write articles, so I can only stop for two days."

How do you think readers feel at this time?
Do I continue to wait patiently and force myself to ignore the issue that the author is a man and has no aunt, or do I just choose to take it off the shelf, cancel the subscription, leave a message and scold, and part ways?
Even if the author finally wants to write a big climax, readers probably don't want to read it, because the emotions are lost.

Now is the playing field, Hook has no way to give Luo Jiu a wave, so he can only try to calm his mind and wait for Luo Jiu's fourth serve.

Then Luo Jiu wiped the net again...

By this time, everyone realized that something was wrong.

In the international arena, it is not uncommon for someone to serve the ball repeatedly, but it is usually because he wants to serve a ball that is powerful enough, resulting in inaccurate control of the ball, and then wipes the net. But now, Luo Jiu seems to be deliberately brushing the net?
In fact, hitting tennis balls is not so easy to serve. As mentioned in the previous article, whether you are brushing the edge or net, you need to grasp the accuracy of the ball's landing point to the limit, but that is in the process of playing the ball, not the serve. .

The accuracy of serving is much better than that of hitting.

Moreover, Luo Jiu is a badass, he chose to serve topspin.

It is obvious that the short ball is served near the point, but why is it topspin and not backspin?
At first, the audience just thought this serve was weird, but now many experts have understood it, it is because topspin can crawl the net.

Yes, as long as the rotation is enough, even if the ball hits the net not so precisely, as long as it is roughly in a certain area and the rotation is in place, then the ball can actually "crawl" past.

In this way, the precision that Luo Jiu really wants to control is actually nothing more than letting the ball fly above a certain height line of the net without capping it.

If it goes straight over the net, it's a normal serve.

And if you don't cross the past, it will be a sideline anyway.

The reason why he serves weakly is also because reducing the force can make the control more precise.

Of course, even if the difficulty drops to this point, not everyone can throw this kind of ball, but don't forget, Luo Jiu is a person with a talent for subtlety after all.

Although his in-court swing level is limited to experience and technical issues, he is not as good as the Dragons for the time being, but in terms of the pure precision of the in-court ball control, he should be number one in the world at this stage, without a doubt.

Therefore, it was indeed intentional to wipe the net with four consecutive serves.

The buzzing in the auditorium became more and more obvious, but Luo Jiu never got tired of it, and the fifth serve wiped the net.

The sixth time...he wanted to wipe the net, but he couldn't control it well, and accidentally served the ball over the net.

This was a serve of no quality at all. If Hook was replaced in the previous round, he would definitely have gone around the stage and made a violent challenge, hitting Luo Jiu without even a chance to react.

But Hook was tired now.

For him, what happened in the past 2 minutes is like a Brazilian version of "Wolf is coming". The wolf came five times and turned back halfway. It's really coming.

But it's nothing, it's nothing more than missing an offensive opportunity, Hook quickly concentrated and swung the ball at will.

Although his hand feeling was good, his technique was rough. The short swing was neither close enough nor low enough, and he didn't turn around, and fell directly into the center of Luo Jiu's forehand position.

This is definitely a godsend opportunity to attack.

Hu Ke subconsciously took two steps back, concentrating on it, waiting for Luo Jiu to charge sideways.

This ball is very dangerous and the pressure is very high, but Hook is not afraid, on the contrary, he is faintly excited, because he has encountered this situation many times in the previous three rounds, but he only needs to defend hard enough and save desperately enough, and he will completely Able to block Luo Jiu's full-strength attack, and then find an opportunity to forcibly lift the board to complete the counterattack.

For him, this kind of ball is the most difficult and exciting thing in the table tennis world.

He waits to surpass himself!
But Luo Jiu acted as if he didn't see this opportunity. He obviously had the ball right under his nose, but he still looked listless. Fighting but not daring to fight, looking forward and backward.

Because of this hesitation, he missed a good opportunity, and finally swung the ball back weakly.

Still a limp ball with just a little spin.

Hook was a little depressed by him.

If the ball was simply placed a little better and rotated a little more, this high level of difficulty would make Hook unable to bear the challenge. However, the ball was so boring that Hook was a little discouraged for a moment.

He couldn't pull himself together.

So in the end he just swung the ball back again.

Luo Jiu didn't even sway this time, and just slapped the stage lightly.

Note that it is not a violent pick, not a quick pick, but a gentle pick.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be like the kind of nondescript response an amateur player would not dare to attack directly when facing an in-table ball, but also wanted to take an offensive posture.

Although this ball is bad, but to be honest, the resonance is very strong, because many viewers laughed at it.

why?
Because they often encounter this situation when they play football.

Obviously, the serve was intended to be played directly, but the ball returned by the opponent was a little unexpected, so he didn't dare to play the ball, but he was unwilling to switch to rubbing the ball, so he flicked lightly.

Hook just felt tired and crooked, the fiery feeling had already completely cooled down before he knew it, he was not stupid, he knew that the situation was wrong, so he roared, forcibly aroused his emotions, and then went up regardless of the three sevens and 21s and it was just a challenge.

offline...

This ball is really easy to hit, but Hook made a very low-level mistake. His movement posture was not correct enough, and his force was not precise enough. It looked like he committed suicide on purpose.

Raulskov, who had been laughing and watching the fun, suddenly felt a "thump" in his heart at this moment, feeling faintly that something was wrong.
