Ping Pong Life

Chapter 315 Fan Xiaodong's Talent
Hook's ball hit Fan Xiaodong's racket heavily, and bounced back at a faster speed.

At this moment, many people on the scene couldn't help but let out exclamations, even mixed with women's screams. It is unknown what the Swedish-speaking audience shouted, but the English-speaking audience clearly uttered a desperate "" no".

The scene in front of me was really similar to when Wang Chao beat Michel in the morning.

They could not accept Hook being beaten to death like this.

But Hook's body reaction was really faster than their nerve reaction.

Fan Xiaodong's first defense was almost perfect, but Hooker was not Michelle. He didn't stop at all after twisting his backhand. Small movements of the pull-up.

The back ball that Fan Xiaodong defended just hit Hook's racket, bounced back again, and still landed on Fan Xiaodong's table.

The speed of the ball should have weakened after two bounces, but because Hook pulled it up forcefully in his busy schedule, the speed of the ball did not decrease at all, and it reached Fan Xiaodong's side in an instant.

Fan Xiaodong's body quickly retreated, took two steps back in an instant, his arms were pulled back, and he abruptly caught up with the ball that had already flown by, and managed to drag it back onto the table.

But at this time, I can't care about other things. The ball is tall, long and does not spin.

Hook didn't hesitate to charge with his forehand.

Fan Xiaodong hadn't collapsed yet. He stood firmly two steps away from the table, squatted down, and kept his center of gravity. With a low growl, a forehand from COSCO directly came to forcefully pull.

But it was still too reluctant. Although the ball was pulled over again, it was still very high and long.

Hook jumped up directly, and smashed a high ball from mid-air.

The ball finally smashed Fan Xiaodong to death.

1:0, Hook scored.

There was a moment of silence on the field, followed by thunderous applause.

But far away in the ward of the imperial capital, Qin Huachang shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity."

"It's already quite good." Sun Tianlong said in relief: "Although I haven't seen my junior practice with my own eyes, I still feel that his performance is better than I imagined."

"Of course." Qin Huachang couldn't help smiling, with a little pride: "This is a good seedling that I have worked so hard to find... In terms of the quality of this seedling alone, he is probably better than the one who claimed to be the most talented at the time. Luo Jiu is much better."

Sun Tianlong was not surprised by the teacher's evaluation, and nodded slightly in agreement, but then asked: "How about compared with Wang Chao?"

Qin Huachang immediately showed a toothache-like expression, thought for a while and said, "Wang Chao's strongest point is his intelligence on the court. If we only talk about his physical condition, Xiaodong is obviously much better than him."

Sun Tianlong nodded again in agreement.

What Fan Xiaodong showed in his first goal today was scary enough.

Although he lost points, he already showed a world-class delicate touch in the first rub.

And the next block was exactly the same as Wang Chao in the morning, almost miraculous, but naturally he couldn't have Wang Chao's game experience, so if he can make the same action, it can only show that he has amazing skills. game instinct.

But the most frightening thing was the action of taking two steps back after his return ball was hit back by Hook.

That action looked ugly, and the rescued ball was also ugly, but don't forget, that was the killing board shot by Hook with all his strength. How fast should that ball be?
Facing this kind of fast ball, being able to barely catch up with a retreat step, how fast does Fan Xiaodong's pace mean?
Is this still a little fat man?

Shouldn't this kind of extremely fast pace be the patent of skinny people?

The fans at the scene have already started whispering.

"He should not only have strange power."

"Yes, I'm afraid he has a little bit more."

"No, I'm afraid he still has extreme speed."

"Then his talent is exactly the same as Hook? My God, he is only 15 years old?"

"Impossible, you guys think too much."

"Have it?"

"Shouldn't all delicate touches be called nuanced?"

"Similarly, not all fast movements are called extreme speed, right?"

"I don't believe there's another Hook in the world."

"Then let's take a look."

Hook serves again.

He also seemed surprised by Fan Xiaodong's ball just now, this time he actually thought for a few seconds before throwing another high toss.

He still sent the ball from the baseline, but this time it landed on Fan Xiaodong's backhand.

This is because although he scored the ball just now, he felt great pressure, so he wanted to try to change the position.

He had seen the videos of Fan Xiaodong's previous games, and knew that Fan Xiaodong's backhand was stronger than his forehand, but Hook was a player who was never afraid of the opponent's strong attack. What he was afraid of was that the opponent would play tricks on him.

He wanted to try Fan Xiaodong's backhand twist.

But Fan Xiaodong still didn't make a shot, and chose to rub the ball back again.

Facing the forehand and backhand balls, players use different sides of the racket to rub the ball, but Fan Xiaodong’s two rubs are impeccable, and they are also low, turning and flat, which shows that he is indeed very solid in terms of basic skills and feel , the forehand and backhand are also balanced enough, and there are no loopholes.

Both sides are looking for changes. Fan Xiaodong just played Hook's backhand, this time he chose to play the forehand.

In fact, when two new players meet for the first time, this kind of testing is necessary. Both sides need to use various methods to test the opponent's ability composition, so as to find out the opponent's tactical system and find the opponent's technical loopholes. .

It's just that Hu Ke's desire to attack is too strong, so every time Fan Xiaodong tries, he will be greeted with a strong attack.

Hook once again chose to attack.

Just now in the backhand position he chose the overlord twist, now he directly picks the forehand position.

He was still the same windy man, circling the table at an unbelievably fast speed, as if he had just taken a step forward, but his body had already reached the right side of the table, the racket was thrust down obliquely, and he slammed violently.

Fan Xiaodong once again showed his miraculous defense. He took a step back, raised his racket, and bounced the ball back.

But Hook also showed his miraculous ability to return the ball. As soon as the ball bounced, he "slapped" another board.

Fan Xiaodong retreated again, this time much calmer than before, so he didn't need to forcefully catch the ball, but made a steady long-distance side cut.

This ball faintly has the prototype of a super ball, but it is not erratic enough, and the trajectory is not strange enough, but it still lands firmly on the backhand of Hook's table at a large angle.

This angle is actually strange enough, after all, Hooker is still on the right side of the table, but the ball is about to float off the table from the left side.

Under normal circumstances, this should be a goal scored directly.

But Hook is so unreasonable, he went around in the shortest time, and the whole person lost his balance when he ran, one foot slipped on the ground, and the other kicked hard, at this time his body He fell down on his side, but he just used his left palm to support the ground, and the whole person slanted towards the left front and soared into the air.

He looked like a frog with a broken leg. His lower body had completely lost its center of gravity. Only his upper body was still straight, and his right hand was still stable. He actually pulled the ball hard from the left side of the table. past.

This angle is just right, pulling directly from the left side of the table to the right side of the table, taking a horizontal straight line.

It's also a high-quality forward looper.

After pulling the ball, Hook fell heavily to the ground. If Fan Xiaodong could catch it, he could only accept it.

Fan Xiaodong really wanted to save the ball as desperately as Hook, but he was still not that fast, and the ball flew far away after only two steps.

2:0, Hook scored again.

"Teacher..." Sun Tianlong glanced at Qin Huachang, hesitant to speak.

Qin Huachang pursed his lips and remained silent.

At this time, the director's camera fell on He Jingping's face behind the baffle, and found that He Jingping was very quiet.

This made the director's heart skip a beat, as did all the European fans watching the live broadcast.

They are really afraid that the Huaping coach will show such a confident expression...

The game continued and Fan Xiaodong got the right to serve.

He sent a regular short backspin.

Switched to the previous neurotic Hooke, facing this impeccable short backspin, he would still choose to fight without warning. Although the success rate is not high, it is enough to scare the opponent into a cold sweat.

But recently Hook has indeed become a little more stable. He cautiously fought against Fan Xiaodong, and unexpectedly fought for five rounds in the blink of an eye.

Then Fan Xiaodong returned the ball suddenly a little too high and a little too long.

Seeing the opportunity, Hook made a forehand burst without saying a word.

The ball hits right on.

Fan Xiaodong did not show the anticipatory defense of the first two balls again, but directly took two steps back and pulled the ball back with a firm forehand.

The landing point is still very positive.

Hook's choice was to charge sideways again.

Fan Xiaodong stood on the middle platform, his foundation was extremely solid, and he pulled the ball back again.

The two actually fought directly into a stalemate between the near stage and the middle stage.

At this time, those who retire must suffer. If it is Wang Chao, Lin Zijun, and Sun Tianlong who are technically minded players, they only need to use a combination of long and short, and move left and right, so that the side that retreats will suffer. Big loss.

But Hook is still the same Hook. He doesn't like to change his rhythm suddenly when he is violently outputting, because it will make his desire to attack interrupted if he is so uncomfortable, so he perseveres in the forehand attack. Four boards.

Switching to other players, such a powerful forehand four consecutive punches, I am afraid that they are already exhausted, but for Hook, it is only a little short of breath, which does not affect the follow-up at all.

Fan Xiaodong's steady defensive matchup was impeccable.

This ball was played very well, and the long-distance match against Raben was equivalent to a visual blockbuster in a table tennis duel. In addition, the audience was particularly concerned about gains and losses today, so this ball was particularly thrilling to watch. Almost every explosion of Hook Chong, can trigger a simultaneous "wow" in the stands, as if to cheer him up.

After a full seven boards, Fan Xiaodong was pierced again.

In fact, he has implemented Wang Chao's previous analysis, deliberately giving Hook more conventional balls, and eliminating more conventional flaws, so that Hook's offense can also become a conventional offense, which can limit Hook's whim.

But he still couldn't defend, because Hooker's offense was too strong and his spin was too strong. Even though his control was good enough, he still didn't use enough force when he caught the last board, causing the ball to spin. Rush out from the side of the racket.

This fully shows that on the court, in many cases, it is really not something you can do if you know what to do. The quality of the ball itself is always one of the most critical factors.

3: 0.

At this time, the director pulled the camera to He Jingping's face again, and then quickly shifted to Raulskov's face on the other side.

This ball is a secret battle between two famous international coaches, and many people already know this well.

So the director really wanted to capture two faces with completely different expressions.

It's a pity that although He Jingping was calm and calm, Raulskoff on the other side didn't show a complacent expression at the beginning.

The two coaches looked up and saw each other appearing in the same picture frame as themselves on the big screen. They actually looked up together, smiled and said hello from the air, looking very harmonious.

Fan Xiaodong served again, this time it was not a short backspin, but a reverse spin.

As we all know, reverse spin serve is all about deception.

But Hook didn't eat the serve, he still kept the short ball steadily, and fought with Fan Xiaodong on the short ball in the court.

This time, after five rounds, Fan Xiaodong once again showed his flaws and returned the ball high.

Hook attacked again.

Because the ball was fed well, Hook's attack was also placed on the right spot.

Fan Xiaodong didn't retreat to the table to pull back like before, but directly stuck to the table to push the ball back.

This choice is also very reasonable: since you can't defend against pull, try to push and block.

All in all, it was the first time the two played against each other, so they had to try all kinds of situations.

Hook attacked again.

Fan Xiaodong continued to block.

Hook's third attack.

Fan Xiaodong blocked for the third time.

Hook directly shifted laterally, converted into a backhand twist, and directly changed the line to Fan Xiaodong's backhand position with a large angle of the bottom line.

This is not a problem that can be solved by pushing and blocking. Fan Xiaodong can only retreat, and then slice the ball back with a backhand.

Hook didn't care about the backspin at all, he pulled the ball hard with his forehand, and pulled out a forward looping ball with a very steep trajectory.

Fan Xiaodong had no choice but to retreat, otherwise, he would not be able to hold back such a strong rotation.

As soon as he retreated, Hook hit his forehand with a wide angle on the next board.

Fan Xiaodong quickly moved to the right to save the ball, but Hook's next board fell to his backhand at a wide angle.

Yes, you read that right, Hook started playing left and right.

Hooker's style of play is not complicated, nor does he forcefully change the line, but he is experienced in many battles after all. When Fan Xiaodong's return is really not powerful enough, he still knows how to change the line. The strong rotation that is bound to come with it makes Fan Xiaodong lose control of the ball the more he saves the ball.

So on the fourth board, Hook finally hit Fan Xiaodong, who had completely lost his ability to control the ball, to death with a lob shot.

4: 0.

The fact that the first game has been played here has already clearly demonstrated one thing.

Fan Xiaodong's defensive tactics against Hu Ke completely failed.

Many spectators at the scene began to get excited. They got rid of the dignified atmosphere just now, and started cheering and shouting again, waving banners, and starting to organize crowds again to invigorate the atmosphere.

But Raulskov, who was sitting behind the fender, did not show any complacency.And He Jingping on the other side also showed no signs of anxiety.

Anyone in the know knows that the first four balls are just an explanation.

This is an explanation from Fan Xiaodong to his tutor, Qin Huachang.

"The way you taught me to deal with Hook is to defend. I tried my best, but I can't seem to beat it. So, I may have to change to another way."

Needless to say these words, Qin Huachang, who was far away in the imperial capital, already understood.

"Teacher..." Sun Tianlong looked at Qin Huachang again, a little worried.

"Aaron, you think too much." Qin Huachang, who was silent at first, suddenly smiled, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose: "Your teacher and I, although I like to care about everything in my life, but my heart It's not that small yet."

On the hospital bed, he twisted his waist and moved his upper body, and then said: "There is nothing embarrassing to admit. Lao He is indeed more accurate than me. It turns out that Xiaodong can't defend against Hook."

He paused, and was a little worried: "I just don't know if he can really do it. After all, his current strength is far inferior to Hook's."

Sun Tianlong didn't say a word, but went to support Qin Huachang, let him sit up completely from the bed, and helped him adjust a comfortable posture.

Qin Huachang still said: "Even if he passes Hu Ke, he still has to beat Wang Chao... I originally thought that I could help him beat Wang Chao, but now, I don't even know Hu Ke well. Then Wang Chao’s comparison, do I really see it correctly? Aaron, do you think there is a possibility that the flaws Wang Chao showed me were actually deliberately exposed by him to mislead me?”

Sun Tianlong hesitated to speak several times, but he still didn't speak.

In fact, he felt that the younger brother's debut match was brilliant enough, and he didn't need to insist on winning the championship, but he also understood the teacher's feelings. After all, Wang Chao won the championship when he debuted last year. The teacher has been hailed as the first coach of Huaping all his life. At the end of his career, how could he be willing to fall behind?
What's more, the teacher... really doesn't have much time.
