Ping Pong Life

Chapter 340 Jumping?

After the Tang Dynasty team advanced to the quarter-finals of the mixed doubles, the next game that attracted more attention came from the match between Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Miya in the upper half and the combination of Sisfield and Solga.

In the words of European fans: "This is another battle of dignity in the European table tennis world."

Why say it again?
Because in the three months before this, the European table tennis world has repeated this sentence countless times. The difference is that this sentence mostly appeared in singles before. , the result failed. In March, the Huaguo Open was besieged by European powers against Luo Jiu, and it failed again.

The European table tennis world felt that there was an opportunity time and time again, but they were smashed again and again. In the end, they decided not to play and changed the track. Instead of men's singles, we played mixed doubles.

Then they lost their dignity again in May. The ace combination Heathfield and Solgar, which was assembled by the most powerful table tennis country in Europe, failed to reach the rumored combination, and was easily eliminated by other Asian teams. The double finals are still held between Asian teams.

European table tennis is disappointed.

But they are not yet desperate.

Because they still have one last hope left: Lao Wa hasn't made a move yet.

Everyone is waiting for Lao Wa to match his lover Morad with a female partner, and stage a return of the king.

The reason why I haven't heard any news about this for the time being is just because Morad was suspended.

Well, maybe so?

Under such a premise, the first reaction of the Europeans after seeing Germany's only seedling mixed doubles pair against Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Mia was: the next game can be lost, but this game must be won.

why?

Because each association in Asia has only one pair of partners, and only Sakura Country has two pairs of partners. It is obvious that Mizuno Taka and Yichuan Mima are the number one partners, and Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Miya are just spare tires.

Germany's singles performance in the World Series over the past ten years has always been higher than that of Cherry Blossom Country. Now in the mixed doubles track, how can Germany's main team lose to the opponent's spare tire team?

Europeans think so and expect so, but the final outcome does not depend on their will.

The German combination was finally directly crushed by Sakura Country's spare tire 4:1.

The reason why it was not 4:0 was not because Sisfield and Solga counterattacked against adversity, but because Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Mia had a high turnover rate, so the losing round was completely sent by themselves .

After the game, the whole of Europe was silent.

They were finally forced to face a potentially cruel reality: this newly opened track may be an opportunity to surpass Huaping, but it is definitely not an opportunity for European teams to surpass Huaping.

How about the cooperation between Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Mia?

Actually not good at all.

They played very rough, with obvious mistakes and omissions in various details, and the two even had obvious bumps and squeezes during the game.

But they still won, completely in the first three boards.

When Rorskov designed the tactics for Sissfield and Solga, he was actually full of confidence in his heart, because in his opinion, Sissfield is a super violent turtle with extremely high quality veneers, which is very suitable for Play mixed doubles.

At the same time, Sisfield is still stronger than his backhand, and it happens that Solga is stronger than his forehand. In this way, although they are a match of two forehands, in fact, Sisfeld can barely be regarded as half a left-hander. .

As we all know, the best pairing in doubles is the right-handed general with the left-handed general.

So this combination has a very good foundation. In Xiuxian's terms, this is a perfect match for Xinfa with cultivation in his own bones.

But when they actually played, Sisfield and Solga exposed a fatal problem together: the small ball in the table was not thin enough, and the ability to serve and receive the ball was not good enough.

Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Meiya, with their better pool ball skills, can easily take the initiative to attack, and then launch a rush attack. Although they are not strong enough, the ball is extremely fast and the placement is very tricky. It forced Sisfield and Solga to move.

Putting aside Solga, let’s just talk about Sisfield. If it’s a single, this violent turtle can completely spread his arms and stance against an attack that is not of sufficient quality and only has speed. Passive becomes active, in this way, the opponent's attack is easily resolved.

But now it's doubles, there are two people who give way to each other and walk with each other. Sisfield can't fully put up his posture and round his arms at the first time, let alone he is not facing the attack half of the time. But Solgar.

As for Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Meiya, they only need to simply keep up with the second board attack, and they can score directly with a high probability.

Therefore, this pair of strength-type combination from Germany couldn't exert any power at all. It was directly broken by the speed combination of Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Mia in the first three boards, and they couldn't drag the stalemate at all.

After the game was over, some people in the world table tennis world began to marvel again.

"Isn't the core of doubles not strength, but speed?"

"Why is it right for the Asian team to fight, but not for us?"

"How to play mixed doubles, is there a clear guiding ideology?"

"What the hell do Rorscoffs eat?"

"Guys, do you think Raolskov is the most overrated national team coach?"

Raulskov expressed his aggrievedness.

He can naturally see that the core of the problem is not the struggle between power flow and speed flow, but the small ball in the table and serving and receiving.

But what can he do?
Among all the professional players in Germany, Bayer has the best small ball in the table, but Bayer doesn't even run much in singles. If you ask him to run around in the mixed doubles arena, will he agree?
The European mixed doubles has come to an end, but the competition for Asian teams is still going on.

Next, the combination of Lin Zijun and Zhen Jing reached the quarterfinals with ease.

Then, the battle between Minato and Sakura Country broke out in the lower half. In the end, Sakura Country No. [-]'s partners Water Bird Eagle and Yi Chuan Mima easily defeated the Minato team Weng Chunting and Ai Qin.

The Hong Kong team trained at the Huaping base throughout late May and early June. They have played against Huaping's two sets of spare tires many times. The tires are a little inferior. Before they came to Malaysia to compete, they were full of confidence. After all, they received special training in the best association in the world.

But in the end they were beaten into a sieve in front of Waterbird Eagle and Yichuan Mima.

After the game, the outside fishing boats are quite normal. After all, the pair of Sakura Kingdom won the mixed doubles runner-up in Qatar last month, but lost to the Huaping players in the final game. They have proven their strength.

But Weng Chunting himself felt that this problem was very serious. He took the initiative to visit Wang Chao in the hotel room after eating at noon that day, and seriously told Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan to be careful.

Weng Chunting also participated in the Qatar Open in May, and he told Wang Chao with certainty that this time the Sakura Country team is much stronger than last month.

In this regard, Wang Chao agreed.

In fact, the Yichuan Mima and Water Bird Eagle in this world are very similar to the pair of Olympic champions in my previous life memory, no matter in terms of staffing and player ability indicators, even the style of play and the direction of improvement are different. Almost exactly the same.

So there is no doubt that they will be the strongest mixed doubles players in the association inside and outside the Olympic cycle, none of them.

And in the remaining half a year between now and the Olympics, they will continue to become stronger step by step.

In the previous life, the strength of the Sakura Country team and the Huaping team in the Olympic finals were actually on par, and there was no obvious distinction between strength and weakness.This is because the Huaping team in the previous life has always maintained a [-]% winning rate in the world arena with backward compatible wrong play. They have never lost until the Olympics.

This also gave the whole world an illusion, making the whole world uncertain whether backward compatibility must be impossible. This kind of hesitation made many groups not firm enough in their tactical thinking, even the Sakura Kingdom group was no exception.

It wasn't until the Olympic final match that the Sakura Country team lost first and then won and then lost again. The situation went up and down several times. Finally, they really strengthened their beliefs on the edge of the cliff and decided to implement an upwardly compatible attitude and play the final decisive game.

It was the correct decision at the end that allowed them to win the crucial seventh game and create the history of Sakura Country table tennis.

But in this world, the situation is different.

Although Gossip Team won the Qatar Open last month, they showed signs of weakness prematurely, which made countries around the world not hesitate to directly confirm the principle of upward compatibility.

Once this principle is truly confirmed, the players of each association will immediately develop by leaps and bounds during training, and the pair of Olympic seeded players Yichuan Mima Mizutori of Sakura Country will make a qualitative leap as early as the middle of the year. They reached the realm they had reached in the Olympic finals in their previous life very early.

The water bird eagle and Yichuan Mima in this state are naturally not something Weng Chunting and Ai Qin can resist.

It can even be said that even if Xiao Fei and Liu Wen came, they would probably suffer.

So Weng Chunting is not unfounded, his judgment is quite keen.

There is another person who is as keen as Weng Chunting, and that is Shuiniaoying, one of the parties of the Sakura Country Group.

After winning this game, the water bird eagle let himself go, and said something very arrogant in the post-match interview.

"You ask me what my goal is? Then there is no need to ask, of course it is to win the championship."

"The Tang Dynasty team is very strong? Crush the double-cutting combination? Hahaha, are you kidding me? What kind of crooked melon is the double-cutting combination? Is it difficult to crush them? In my opinion, it is their duty to have zero seals , it’s a shame not to have zero seals.”

"If I had to make an evaluation, I might think that the attacking power of the Tang Dynasty team is not enough. It took a full 35 minutes to play against two chippers. If I and Yi Chuan made a shot, they could win in about 20 minutes. Bar."

"Is Wang Chao crazy? I don't think so. He said he could win the championship, probably because he doesn't know me and Yi Chuan well enough. In fact, we are not who we were last month. Aren't you guys talking about it very popular recently? Super-evolution? I think Yi Chuan and I probably just completed a super-evolution."

"Right now, we have at least an 80.00% winning rate even against a veteran partner like Gossip, let alone a mere Tang Dynasty combination?"

In fact, Shui Niaoying was interviewed when he first arrived in Malaysia yesterday. During the interview, the reporter asked him what his goal was. He said very low-key that he would keep four and fight for two. Only one night later, he completely changed his words. The reason , or after he finished playing this game, he realized that he had become stronger.

So the water bird eagle is actually a genius. Not only does he have a delicate touch that ranks among the top five on the planet, but he also has an extremely keen natural judgment on the overall battle situation, personal status, and overall strength. He dares to provoke Wang Chao so unscrupulously. , because he now feels that he is really too strong, he has never been so strong in his life.

He was aggrieved enough in the singles arena, and he finally gained the lead in the mixed doubles arena. Why don't you rush to ridicule him?
When he was speaking, Yichuan Mima stood beside him expressionlessly, neither approving nor stopping him, and remained silent.

The reporter was very excited and couldn't help but marvel: "I really didn't expect that the waterfowl players who have been relatively quiet recently have so much confidence in the mixed doubles. What are your thoughts on the project?"

Shui Niaoying recalled the group he was in, hesitated for a while, and still maintained an arrogant look, and said: "My requirements are not high, just enter the finals."
