Ping Pong Life

Chapter 342 The Biggest Suspense in Mixed Doubles
Regarding Fan Xiaodong's violent beating of a water bird eagle, there is still a little bit of aftermath.

After losing this game, Waterfowl Hawk, who was lying on a stretcher and pretended to have a back injury, publicly expressed his doubts about Fan Xiaodong: "I think that in the first game, he attacked my four short backspin serves in a row. , this matter is unreasonable. If any high-quality short backspin serve can be forcibly pulled up as long as the strength is strong enough, then the sport of table tennis needs to be redefined. Is it the advantage?"

"I can't say how good my serve is, but my short backspin is absolutely rigorous and impeccable, and it shouldn't be handled by opponents in this way."

His doubts are actually justified, because theoretically speaking, a short backspin that is rigorous enough should not be attacked. There are only a few people in this world like Hook who can use full backspin on a whim. Unreasonable way to pull this ball up.

But even if Hu Ke and others do this, the success rate will be very low, and there is a great element of luck. The success rate must be lower than 50.00%, otherwise, the entire pattern of table tennis will change. , the pros and cons of the serving side will be completely redefined, and even short backspin, the most versatile serving method in history, will be swept into the corner of history and never released again.

So Shui Niaoying then directly asserted: "I think the equipment Fan Xiaodong used is not in compliance with the rules, he cheated!"

This sentence is familiar to many people, because many years ago, he questioned Sun Tianlong in the same way after Sun Tianlong shaved his head.

But in the water bird eagle's own view, the essence of these two things is different.

That time many years ago, he was purely embarrassed after his head was shaved, forcibly questioning, forcibly falsely accusing, all for the sake of holding his breath, but this time, he really had doubts in this regard, because he really felt that this It's outrageous.

The four consecutive rushes in the first round knocked him out of his mind. In the next three rounds, he never dared to send a short backspin near the center. He was beaten into a frightened bird by Fan Xiaodong's heavy artillery.

If it weren't for his fear, with his hard power, he shouldn't have lost so miserably.

About half an hour later, Fan Xiaodong made a public response.

"Consecutive attacks? Must break the short backspin serve? There is no such thing..." Fan Xiaodong was confused when asked by the reporter at first, but the reporter was very conscientious in order to fight the fire, and helped him recall the first round The content of those classic attacking balls.

"Oh, you said this." Fan Xiaodong smiled: "I've always been slow to warm up. Brother Chao wanted to help me solve this problem at first, but he couldn't solve it after thinking of many ways, so he gave me a solution later. Idea, he said, anyway, I would lose points by default in the first few balls of the game, so instead of making mistakes step by step and allowing the opponent to score points, why don't I just let myself go and have a few good boards? After all, let the opponent rely on Gaining points with strength will boost the morale of the opponent, but I take the initiative to forcibly lift the board, and if I hit me, I score, and if I miss it, I commit suicide.

The reporter felt something was wrong when he heard this: "So you..."

"So I was really confused. I didn't even know if I could hit it." Fan Xiaodong explained sincerely: "I got two out of the first four balls. I just thought, I lost points at the beginning of the game, but this time it was a 2:2 tie, so let’s do a few more, because we have to be behind by a few points first, so this game is like that. So I tried a few times in a row , Hey, good luck."

He said it was luck, but of course it was not entirely luck, but because he did have good enough skills and strength. In the past two months, according to Wang Chao's suggestion, he directly imitated it in private practice. In actual combat, every time you come up, you have to be fooled a few times. The ability to attack is actually subtly improved. Although the success rate is not high, it is not uncommon to get lucky occasionally and hit a few in a row. things.

"I'm still wondering, obviously he has a good short haircut, why did he stop it all of a sudden, and he actually wants to confront me later." Fan Xiaodong smiled honestly: "It can't be helped, he sent it to the door, I can only teach him to be a man."

All the followers of the world table tennis world laughed together when they saw this follow-up interview.

Things are obvious.

It wasn't that the pattern of table tennis really needed to be rewritten, but that Fan Xiaodong's rare good luck frightened the timid waterfowl eagle. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to send another short shot in the next three and a half rounds. Downspin.

This is a very rare situation.

The vast majority of normal professional players, once they fall into an absolute disadvantage during the competition, must try various methods in exchange for one round after another, because he has no choice, if he still can't break the opponent's system, what else can we do besides trial and error?

But when Water Niaoying faced Hua Ping, he belonged to the kind who had been frightened for a long time.

Just think about it, in order to avoid being hunted down by others, a player would rather avoid the opponent for many years than to have his head shaved, and would rather not participate in a large number of competitions and earn a lot of points, you will know how much this player has At least it is a bit of a problem psychologically.

Can't say crazy, but a little perverted for sure.

The reason why he smoked, drank and stayed up late to pick up girls was probably not because of the huge mental pressure of being hunted down all year round. He had to find other ways to decompress and let his emotions have an outlet.

So in the end the water bird eagle will become the current image.

A coach in Sakura's country once commented that Mizutaka ruined his life with one mouth. In a sense, this is actually not wrong.

But this time when facing Fan Xiaodong, Shui Niaoying actually didn't realize that the deepest part of his heart was full of fear.

He was really scared out of his wits by Huaping's rise from generation to generation.

The psychological injury Wang Chao gave him has not yet healed, and another smaller one came. He said verbally that he has a good chance, but this kind of self-confidence is extremely fragile and cannot withstand any disturbance.

He is just a smooth and dense egg, which looks round and flawless, but as long as the opponent hits it hard, it will break.

It was precisely because he was so unconfident deep in his heart that after Fan Xiaodong happened to succeed in four consecutive attacks, he didn't even have the courage to go back and check again, and directly chose to give up the short backspin.

"If I meet Water Bird again in the future, I hope he can correct his mentality and play a good game with me. This time is really disappointing." Fan Xiaodong is an honest boy, and he didn't realize that what he said was very important to Water Bird. He was full of longing to say how much damage he had caused: "Next time, I will try my best to beat him 11:0. After all, this time it was really only a little bit. The side kick in the fourth game, alas, I really almost missed it." rescued."

Fan Xiaodong didn't hold grudges, he was not angry because of Shuiniaoying's public doubts, he wanted to beat the opponent 11:0 purely out of consideration of advanced technology, but this word was passed back to Shuiniaoying's ears, but Shuiniaoying didn't respond for a long time. He made a sound, and then his heart was filled with deep despair.

Because the water bird eagle clearly realized that there was another name on the list that he needed to avoid hunting.

If Sun Tianlong, Luo Jiu, and Wang Chao's chasing alliance can't completely cover all the competitions in the world, then adding Fan Xiaodong, this is really a net with nowhere to escape.

From then on, Hua Ping's pursuit order will be everywhere, and it will not end until the day he retires.

Wang Chao remembered that in his previous life, there was a New Oriental teacher Luo who was in debt of [-] million yuan. The scene of him slapping himself continuously in front of the camera became popular and was made into various animations.

But he didn't know that at this moment, after listening to Fan Xiaodong's interview, Water Bird Eagle did the same thing in his small room.

Too bad it wasn't recorded.

……

In the next morning's game, the mixed doubles went first, followed by the singles.

In the first half, there was a real strong confrontation: Lin Zijun and Zhen Jing faced Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Mia.

The overall table tennis level of Sakura Country is higher than that of Bay Island, but the pair of Sakura Country is a backup tire, while the pair of Bay Island is the main force, so it seems to the outside world that the two sides should be evenly matched.

In fact, the two sides are indeed evenly matched.

Lin Zijun's personal strength is slightly stronger than Zhang Benkuang's, but his partner Zhen Jing's strength is slightly weaker than Yamano Meiya's. When the two sides fight, the audience can clearly see the difference in style between the two pairs.

The pairing of Lin Zijun and Zhen Jing perfectly follows the principle of upward compatibility. The two should have a lot of training. It can be seen that the cooperation is very high, especially in terms of walking. Zhen Jing has a high degree of anticipation of Lin Zijun's movements. Whenever Lin Zijun wanted to make a forehand charge, the audience would find that she had already given up enough position.

And when Lin Zijun hits the ball with a small backhand, she will stand side by side with Lin Zijun steadily, reducing the physical exertion and balance damage caused by excessive running.

In short, on the premise of not destroying the hitting efficiency and quality of teammates, try to reduce unnecessary loss and mistakes.

The characteristic of this pair is that Zhen Jing almost does not attack, and only plays balls and transitions. In fact, Zhen Jing imitated the masculine advanced style of play of the Huaping women's team in singles and advocated offense very much. But in doubles, She held back all her desire to attack, because she knew that her attack could not kill the male player on the opposite side.

This is a very disciplined combination.

Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Meiya are completely different.

They both attack and speed up. No matter who serves the ball, the other will attack desperately at the first time. Even if there is no chance to attack at all, they will never fight against each other. Get up and talk.

They don't have a tacit understanding in walking, and occasionally collide with each other, but this does not mean that they have not practiced enough, but because their double speed and double offense play system requires too much tacit understanding between the two sides. High, even though they practice hard, they can only temporarily achieve the current effect.

In the future, they are also unlikely to practice to the point where they will not collide with each other at all, because they are not only fast in ball speed, but also in foot speed, which makes their physical strength unable to keep up with their brains. They hope to be perfect Avoiding each other, but they don't have such a good balance ability, let alone do exaggerated sudden stop and change of direction and continuous turning back.

Therefore, in the view of the audience, the Wandao team obviously played more heavily, like heavy soldiers riding on big horses holding heavy iron guns, while the Sakura Kingdom team looked like they were standing on hot wheels. Assassin, with a short, thin blade, pointed at the deadly throat of the opponent.

The ball was played very well, and the Bay Island combination finally won 4:2.

Zhang Benkuang and Yamano Meiya didn't lose to their opponents, but to themselves, because they were really too fast. In order to break the opponent's defense, they speeded up crazily, and then they couldn't even control themselves. It was like sitting in a sports car that was running wildly but couldn't brake. It could only rush forward, and finally bumped into the railing, killing itself.

When it comes to the specific content of the game, it is the crazy mistakes of the Sakura Kingdom in the late stage, all kinds of suicides, and there is no need for the opponent to do anything.

This also made many coaches from foreign associations who are still on the sidelines finally determine their country's mixed doubles team thinking: speed flow does not seem to work, and the sword is too slanted to be useful.

There is obviously a problem with backward compatibility. The Gossip team is so strong in personal strength, but they still played dangerously last month, and finally won the championship. It has nothing to do with doubles cooperation, and it is all about their personal ability.

Only Bay Island's Lin Zijun, Zhen Jing, and Sakura Country's water bird Ying Yichuan Mima, these two combinations, are the real kingly ways of playing.

As for Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan's style of play, although it is based on upward compatibility, it is essentially a special style of play that can only be adopted by special players. It has no promotional value, and it cannot be learned at all.

So now comes the biggest suspense about mixed doubles.

Is the original royal way of play itself more powerful, or is the special style of play built in the kingly way more powerful?

The former emphasizes the cooperation of the players before, and the discipline is far greater than the individual performance. For example, the female player Zhen Jing of Bay Island, she is obviously a masculine player with a strong desire to attack, but in order to cooperate, she completely restrained herself in the game. own aggressiveness.

Lin Zijun, who used to seldom use the forehand to attack, also practiced his strength and forehand power posture hard in the past two months because of the discipline of doubles, just to be able to have a decisive kill on both fronts and backs.

The latter puts more emphasis on the use of the players' own special talents in the game. Individual performance far outweighs discipline. Big, she is responsible for holding that board, and doesn't care about anything else, keeping everything simple.

To refine it further, it is actually a simple question: system-based, or people-based?
