Ping Pong Life

Chapter 341
This is an understatement, coupled with his gesture of deliberately holding his arms and slightly raising his head, it seems quite confident.

"What on earth were you thinking?" Afterwards, the coach of the team secretly complained: "Obviously you promised me well before going out, but suddenly you started to mess up again. How about you keep a low profile in the singles that you promised?"

Facing his old partner for many years, Shuiniaoying put away his arrogance and sighed: "I just boasted, and I was too hard to get off..."

"Come on." The coach glared at him: "Mixed doubles is mixed doubles, and singles is singles. What's so hard about it?"

Shui Niaoying was exposed, so he said what was in his heart: "I didn't dare to talk nonsense, but this group... I really think I have a chance to enter the final."

There are not many men's singles contestants this time, and basically all the strong players are in Huaping. Together with Shuiniaoying, Liang Kunpeng, Fan Xiaodong and Xiao Fei are divided into the lower half. Liang Kunpeng will fight Xiao Fei in the first round in the afternoon, and he will probably be eliminated by Xiao Fei.

In the first round, Water Bird Eagle played against Fan Xiaodong.

Is Fan Xiaodong strong?Obviously very strong, although he has only participated in the World Series once since his debut, but because of his amazing performance, he was compared with Wang Chao and became a new generation of twin stars.

There are a lot of people in the world table tennis circles who believe that Fan Xiaodong's strength is already higher than that of Xiao Fei, Lin Li and Baifeng, and he is the favorite to win the championship this year.

But Shui Niaoying is not a follower, after careful analysis, he believes that Fan Xiaodong may really be able to beat Xiao Fei, Lin Li and Bai Feng, but he should not be able to beat himself.

This is not blind self-confidence, but an objective conclusion he came to after watching all of Fan Xiaodong's game videos.

Shui Niaoying believes in restraint in style, and he thinks that he is just Fan Xiaodong's nemesis.

Fan Xiaodong's strongest point lies in his strength, followed by his hand feel, then his balance ability, and finally his lack of obvious shortcomings.

As for these four advantages, Waterfowl Eagle thinks they can resolve them.

The first is power.

Fan Xiaodong's violent style of play is the most restrained against opponents who belong to the same type of violent style of play. The reason why he played so amazingly in his debut match is precisely because of the two powerful opponents he met before the final, Heathfield and Tiger Ke, are typical violent turtles.

A violent duel is like sparks hitting the earth, and there is no room for cheating. The side with a slightly lower level of violence will definitely be smashed to pieces, but in fact, this kind of duel itself does not have much technical content.

So Shui Niaoying believed that Fan Xiaodong's current fame was a bit of luck. He drew lots well and lined up well.

When facing Wang Chao's non-violent style of play in the final, Fan Xiaodong was obviously timid. After losing all kinds of non-violent duels, he was forced to enter the stage of full defense, but he could not even play full defense. Unable to prevent it, it failed miserably in the end.

Facts have proved that Fan Xiaodong's violence is not very effective in the face of mental players.

As it happens, Water Bird Eagle is a typical mental player.

Then there is the feel.

Shui Niaoying admits that his touch is slightly inferior to Wang Chao's, but compared to Fan Xiaodong, he still thinks he has some advantages.

The hand feel advantage doesn't care how big it is, but whether it exists. Since it has it, Fan Xiaodong won't dare to fight against him, that's enough.

Then there's balance.

This is indeed Fan Xiaodong's strong point, which is comparable to almost no one in the world, but Water Bird Eagle does not need to compare with him, because Water Bird Eagle has tall legs and long legs, a natural guard with a large area, and a high awareness and good golf quotient. He moves less during the game than the average player, which makes it easier to maintain his balance.

For balance, as long as it can match your own attack power, it is not necessary to be so good. After all, his old waist itself cannot withstand too intense a style of play. Flashed to the waist before losing balance.

Finally, there is the problem of short boards.

Of course, Water Bird Eagle has no obvious shortcomings. Like Bayer, he is known as the European Little Sun Tianlong and the other is known as the Asian Little Sun Tianlong. They are both masters of technical flow. , he thinks he has a great advantage.

To sum up, Shui Niaoying felt that he could completely copy Wang Chao's way of beating Fan Xiaodong and win easily.

And once Fan Xiaodong was defeated, Xiao Fei was the only opponent left in the lower half.

Xiao Fei is ranked second in the world all the year round, so it should be more difficult to deal with than Lin Li and Bai Feng, but in fact, the past many years of fighting history shows that Shui Niaoying has a slightly higher chance of winning against Xiao Fei.

This is because the water bird eagle has an excellent hand feel, is good at mobilizing large angles, is good at hitting the landing point, and is good at hitting the opponent's weakness.

However, Xiao Fei's style of play has extremely obvious loopholes.

This loophole is exactly what has been mentioned many times before, about his forehand's killing blow like a boa constrictor turning over.

This shot made him invincible in doubles and became an absolute main attacker, but it also made him suffer from speed and rhythm countless times in singles.

Simply put, if you can block his attack, then he will directly fall into absolute passivity.

And if you can't stop him, then he is a towering and unconquerable mountain.

The extreme situation of polarization is vividly reflected in Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei is probably the one who is most afraid of being hit back among the top players in the world.

But the water bird eagle is quite good at returning the ball.

One of the most famous foul-mouth incidents at the time was that in the team competition stage of a certain year's three major competitions, he first defeated Xiao Fei head-on, then publicly taunted him, and then raised his middle finger to provoke. This behavior completely angered Huaping generals.

At that time, Cai Guodong was in charge of leading the team. Lao Cai went crazy on the spot, and the main Huaping players under his opponent roared: "Hit me to death, beat him 11:0, shave his head, don't let them live!"

Then Lao Cai was politely kicked out by the referee because he was too emotional and disturbed the order of the game.

Then Sun Tianlong played and directly gave Shuiniaoying a beautiful bald head without any off-court guidance. In the era when no one shaved their heads in the international arena, this bald head directly made Shuiniaoying the laughing stock of the world table tennis .

After the event was completely over, Shui Niaoying accepted an interview and mocked Sun Tianlong's racket sponge for not conforming to the rules of the ITTF competition, cheating equipment, and invincible victory. Do your best to give him another bald head.

This is the beginning and end of the story since the water bird eagle was hunted down by Sun Tianlong.

When most people talked about this story, they talked about Lao Cai's temperament and Sun Tianlong's domineering, but few people noticed one thing: the water bird eagle, which was still in the [-]th place in the world ranking at that time, was able to beat the world ranking The second Xiao Fei is a very amazing thing in itself.

In fact, the style of the water bird eagle is indeed somewhat restrained Xiao Fei.

"So, I really have a chance to enter the final." Shui Niaoying was quite looking forward to it, because he was so devastated by Huaping's hunting order that he hadn't won a good ranking for a long, long time: "No Unexpectedly, my opponent in the final is either Lin Li or Bai Feng, both of whom have been sluggish in recent years, and I may even have a chance to win the championship."

The dream of Waterfowl Eagle was beautiful, but two and a half hours later, that is, at 01:30 in the afternoon, the cruel reality gave him a slap in the face, completely waking up his dream.

In just 20 minutes, he was beaten 4-0 by Fan Xiaodong.

This kid Fan Xiaodong looks low-key, but in fact he also has a ruthless spirit.

He listened to the interview of the water bird, but the focus was not on the water bird wanting to win the singles runner-up, but on the water bird saying that Wang Chao was vulnerable.

Although he lost to Wang Chao in the Swedish Open, he was convinced of Wang Chao, and the two had a good relationship in private, especially after Qin Huachang left the team, no one whispered to him every day to tell him to be careful of Wang Chao. Chao, so he followed his inner instructions and directly poured out his heart and soul to Wang Chao.

Over the past few days, although Wang Chao has been practicing mixed doubles, he still communicated with Fan Xiaodong, and even made a lot of suggestions on Fan Xiaodong's singles training. These suggestions were finally fed back to his temporary coach Sun Tianlong by Fan Xiaodong, and then It was recognized by Sun Tianlong one by one and implemented in his actual training.

Therefore, Wang Chao's identity to Fan Xiaodong is very complicated. He is also a teacher, a friend, and an opponent. He wants to defeat Brother Chao from the bottom of his heart, but he does not allow others to speak ill of Brother Chao.

Especially a notorious guy who was successively issued hunting orders by the two generations of Huaping at the helm more than ten years ago.

Then what else is there to say, shoot him to death!

Fan Xiaodong hit hard.

At the beginning of the game, Water Bird Eagle was very confident. Just like the pre-match analysis, he felt that he could win.

But the first ball knocked him out.

He was lucky enough to get the right to serve and sent a steady short backspin. He planned to imitate Wang Chao's style of play and teach Fan Xiaodong how to be a man on the small ball in the court.

But Fan Xiaodong immediately picked it up, which frightened the water bird and eagle.

Fortunately, the violent challenge failed.

So Shui Niaoying made a short backspin again, still wanting to teach Fan Xiaodong how to be a man in the fight.

As a result, Fan Xiaodong violently picked him up again, this time successfully beating him to death.

At this time, Shui Niaoying didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He thought, um, the young man is angry, so come up and do two hard things first, it's okay, we will fight hard after you vent your anger.

Fan Xiaodong then served the ball with a short backspin as well.

Shui Niaoying was very satisfied, he swayed perfectly, and still planned to teach how to be a human being.

But Fan Xiaodong challenged again and failed.

Fan Xiaodong served for the second time with a short backspin.

Waterfowl hawks swing short.

Fan Xiaodong smashed his backhand and succeeded.

After four goals, it was a 2:2 tie, but the water bird eagle was a little anxious.

He is a technical player, and he hopes to tie Fan Xiaodong's offensive hands and feet in a reasonable way, and play artistic table tennis with technical content.

But Fan Xiaodong obviously just wanted to have a good time, he would do it as soon as he came up, regardless of whether he would be successful or not, let's talk about it first, anyway, whether he wins or loses, it depends on my board, and it has nothing to do with your skills.

This made the water bird eagle feel helpless towards the cow playing the piano.

But at this time, he still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. What he thought was, it won't be long, if you want to fight, you can fight, and when you get tired from fighting, it's my turn to go crazy.

What's more, your success rate in fighting is so-so. Four balls become two, just 50.00%.

On the fifth ball, Shuiniaoying made a short backspin, and Fan Xiaodong scored with a backhand.

On the sixth ball, Shui Niaoying made a short backspin, and Fan Xiaodong scored with a forehand.

On the seventh ball, Fan Xiaodong sent a short backspin, and the water bird hawk made a short swing, and Fan Xiaodong scored with a backhand burst.

On the eighth ball, Fan Xiaodong stole the ball directly, the Water Niaoying retreated and pulled back, and Fan Xiaodong scored directly with his forehand.

In a blink of an eye, 2:2 became 6:2.

At this time, Shui Niaoying suddenly realized one thing: Isn't the kid opposite him slow?

So, the reason why the success rate of the first four fighting balls was 50.00% was actually because he was not in good shape?
And now these four balls, his condition has improved, so the success rate is directly [-]%?

The water bird eagle broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

He has always boasted that his serving skills are very good, but it is too big of a problem for him to serve such a good ball to the opponent and it is unreasonable.

Although contemporary table tennis technology nominally says that the whole table can attack without dead ends, after all, there are still very few serve and rush attacks. If even the short backspin that you use in the most cautious way can be directly lifted, then How to play this ball?What advantage does the serving side have?
Waterfowl Eagle decided to change tactics. Since short backspin is dangerous, let’s try to serve the ball to the bottom line.

Then he was hit harder.

Theoretically speaking, any professional player can directly forcibly pull the ball to attack the ball. The only difference is that those who are not skilled enough tend to suffer from backspin when pulling the ball, while those who are not strong enough sometimes cannot pull the ball. Overspin ball.

And Fan Xiaodong's natural supernatural power, good enough technique and touch, he is really accurate when pulling this kind of ball.

So the game went directly to the stage where Fan Xiaodong attacked violently and Water Bird Eagle defended deadly.

This is actually the expected pattern of Water Niaoying. According to his plan, he wants to learn from Wang Chao, so that Fan Xiaodong will collapse on his own after being unable to attack for a long time.

But he never expected that he couldn't stop it.

Yes, he can't stop...

He thought that he could perfectly block every burst of Fan Xiaodong like Wang Chao, but in fact, he still overestimated himself.

Wang Chao's defense has a lot of anticipation, and this kind of anticipation is largely due to his understanding of Fan Xiaodong and his analysis of Fan Xiaodong's ball.

Shui Niaoying thinks that he can also analyze all of Fan Xiaodong's balls and make all the predictions correctly, but in fact, he overestimates the huge gap between himself and Wang Chao in terms of strategic and tactical vision.

He's just a smart player, that's all.

In his previous life, Wang Chao was a peerless marshal, and even the disciples trained by him could beat water birds and eagles violently.

Shui Niaoying felt that he could emulate Wang Chao, in a sense, because he had no idea how big the gap between the two sides was.

To put it simply, this is called ignorance without fear.

And the most important point is that Fan Xiaodong is also making progress.

Fan Xiaodong was defended by Wang Chao in the final of the Swedish Open. Of course, he needs to improve after returning, and the simplest change is to add more routines to the offense.

In fact, there are only a few factors in offense, strength, placement, rotation, and deceit. No matter how smart Fan Xiaodong was in the past, he was inexperienced in the game after all, and if you don’t really suffer from many things, you won’t feel pain. When Fan Xiaodong played in the Swedish Open After officially losing in the finals, the regret of losing the gold medal will strongly stimulate him, giving him enough determination to improve those intractable diseases that he was unwilling to improve before.

So Fan Xiaodong has learned a lot of particularly awkward styles of play in the past two months.

For example, it is very comfortable for me to rush to a certain point now, but I don't want to. I want to turn my wrist and twist my arm. I would rather reduce my strength a little, and change the ball to an unexpected place.

For example, I can obviously pull out a left spin right now, but at the last moment, I want to swing my arm in the opposite direction, twist my wrist, and pull out a completely unconventional right spin, even if this kind of pull makes my own Arms are aching.

All in all, even if I'm uncomfortable, I won't make you comfortable.When my landing point is not logical, then your prediction will be wrong.

It can be said that even if Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong were to fight now, it would be impossible to make a correct prediction so easily like last time.

So the water bird eagle was completely confused, and finally scored 11:4 in the first game.

In the second game, the water bird eagle tried to resist. He started to use fake moves and changed the way of serving, trying to bully Fan Xiaodong who was young and inexperienced.

But in the end, because of too many tricks, the quality of his serve declined, and Fan Xiaodong beat him to death more easily.

So in the third game, Water Niaoying learned from the pain and decided to fight against Fan Xiaodong.

The ending can be imagined. When the water bird eagle temporarily turned into a violent turtle, Fan Xiaodong let him understand what a real violent turtle is.

He only scored 1 point in this game.

By the fourth game, the water bird eagle completely collapsed.

He is not strong in himself, and his heart is full of superiority before the start of the game. This huge gap is unacceptable to him. He has no way to accept such a result. In the middle of the fourth game, he was very lucky. He scored a point through a side kick, and then he directly raised his hand to announce his abstention because the recurrence of the back injury required urgent treatment.

This point is very important, it can prove that he has not had his head shaved, and that his act of raising his hands and abstaining from voting has not been ridiculed too much by the world table tennis circle.
