Ping Pong Life

Chapter 355 God Level Side Cut
At the beginning, Wang Chao directly hooked the ball, and at the last moment when the racket touched the ball, he made a fake movement of shaking his body. While his body was shaking, his wrist that was swinging quietly changed direction and swung out. Switch this serve to reverse spin.

Obviously, he wanted to deceive Yichuan Mima.

But Yichuan Mima was not deceived, she quickly flipped the ball back, and it went straight to the bottom line of Tang Yuanyuan's backhand position.

From this response alone, it can be seen that Yichuan Mima has a deep research on the Tang Dynasty combination.

One of the significant differences between mixed doubles and singles is that it is not the whole table when serving, but the ball must be served from our right table to the opponent's right table. This is an iron law.

And the consequence of this iron law is that the server must first stand on the right side of the table, and if the receiver wants to mobilize the two players on the server and force them to move, the simplest and most direct way is of course to put the ball on the right side of the table. The bottom line on the right side of the opponent's table.

But Yi Chuan Mima left the bottom line in the backhand position.

This is because she knows the level of tacit understanding between Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan, and she doesn't care about this most basic transfer. At the same time, Tang Yuanyuan actually has obvious biases in doubles, and her forehand is obviously better than her backhand.

Whether this is good or bad has nothing to do with the player's forehand and backhand skills, it's purely because she puts more emphasis on killing the board in doubles, and Tang Yuanyuan's role in the Tang Dynasty combination is not an auxiliary, so she needs to undertake the offensive task, and Her forehand attack is obviously easier to use than her backhand.

To put it more simply, the loop she pulled out with her backhand can only kill female players, while the loop she pulled out with her forehand can kill male players.

So stopping Tang Yuanyuan's forehand is equivalent to stopping 80.00% of Tang Yuanyuan's kill.

This point can actually be seen in the world table tennis world. After all, the play style of the Tang Dynasty combination is not complicated.But why didn't others do it before?

On the one hand, any player facing Wang Chao's master-level serving skills usually cannot perfectly control the landing point of the ball. If the small ball technology in the table is not enough and they insist, they may directly miss the ball.

On the other hand, Tangyuanyuan itself still has some predictions about how to deal with the enemy. Many times, when you hit her with a backhand, you may find that Tangyuanyuan has moved to the left in advance as soon as the ball is thrown out. In the end, she can still use positive Hand catching the ball, on the contrary, you have neglected the height and rotation of the ball because you put too much emphasis on the landing point, which makes it less difficult for Tang Yuanyuan to pull the ball, and the killing board he hits is more powerful.

Table tennis itself is a sport of prediction and anti-prediction, and these are very reasonable.

The reason why Yichuan Mima's swipe is so skillful is because she also has a subtle touch. Her swipe is not strenuous, and her body is still stretched and relaxed. The table was all handed over to Niwa Xiaoxi, the whole process was not muddled, and it seemed quite comfortable.

Tang Yuanyuan didn't make a prediction, because Yichuan Mima's movements were extremely small, so this gesture was actually somewhat concealed.

So she could only pull the ball over with her backhand.

"Wang Chao took it for granted." Hou Xijia commented immediately: "His serve is indeed world-class, but he forgot that Yichuan Mima also has nuanced talent. In this game, Yichuan Mima took the initiative to choose The reason for catching Wang Chao's ball is because she is not afraid of any fake moves by Wang Chao. In this case, Wang Chao's correct approach should be to give up any deceit, try to serve high-quality balls, and forcefully make it difficult for Yichuan fans."

In fact, as he said, when Wang Chao’s fake action failed, the quality of the serve itself was actually affected. After all, the counter-rotation change at the last moment, the speed of wrist shaking was too fast, and the process of racket rubbing against the ball was too short. Will make the spin of the ball drop.

It was precisely because of the absolute lack of quality of the ball that Yichuan Mima was able to so easily skim the ball directly to the bottom line of Tang Yuanyuan's backhand position. The landing point was extremely precise, almost landing on the corner of the left edge of the table.

With such a long ball, if Tang Yuanyuan can predict it, it is of course very good to pull it with a strong forehand, but if she can’t predict it, then pull a billiard ball with her backhand, even if her strength far exceeds that of a normal female player, the quality of the ball is still high. stand up.

As I said before, the offensive action of pulling the ball is actually a winning hand, which is equivalent to overruling all the subtle changes in the previous ball, leaving only one choice: can my offensive power kill you?
Obviously, it is impossible for Tang Yuanyuan to pull the looping ball with a backhand to kill Niwa Takashi, but instead gave Niku Takashi a perfect topspin.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the Sakura Country combination.

Wang Chao took half a step back, with one foot in front and the other behind, closely watching Niwa Xiaoxi's movements, ready to meet the opponent's strong attack.

But at this time, you can see the strangeness of the player Niku Xiaoxi.

If this kind of ball is replaced by other professional players, one hundred out of one hundred people will choose to sideways and forcefully charge, because this is a great opportunity to properly take the initiative.

But Nikubo Xiaoxi didn't. He stood in front of the table, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, refusing to move. Seeing the ball flying towards his chest, he straightened his arms to meet it without hesitation. Stretched out with the ball.

This action is actually very dangerous.

Because the longer the ball is, the easier it is to turn into a chasing ball. If you don’t retreat, it will hit your chest, making you not deep enough to stretch your arms. If you forcefully shrink your arms to catch the ball , that obviously can neither exert force nor create rotation.

Niwa Xiaoxi's choice is: I won't let you resist me, I will stop you before you resist my chest.

This is a choice that 90.00% of professional players will not make.

Because we all know that table tennis is the most powerful when it first touches the racket, both its speed and rotation are at its peak, and when it flies in the air, its power will drop sharply every time it flies a distance, so Once professional players encounter a powerful ball, their correct thinking must be to let it fly for a while while maintaining their bottom line.

Why does Tangyuanyuan retreat directly once it encounters a ball that it cannot catch in doubles?This is the principle in essence.

But Nikubo Xiaoxi not only sticks to the table, but also pushes the racket forward. As a result, the distance between the ball touching Tang Yuanyuan's racket and the racket touching him is very short, so what he faces is this The peak moment with the fastest ball speed and the strongest spin, and if he wants to restrain the power of this peak moment, he needs to pay more.

This price can be more power, it can be more delicate touch, of course, it can also be a gamble, betting that I am lucky enough to be able to block the ball in a thrilling manner even when the success rate of catching the ball is very low.

At this time, because of the physiological structure of the human body, since Nikubo Takashi does not turn sideways, it is impossible for him to hold the racket in a horizontal shape to rub the ball. His outstretched hand holds the racket like a knife. When flying over, he turned his racket at an angle slightly, so the ball that flew menacingly hit the left side of his racket directly.

At the moment of touching the ball, Koki Nikubo's racket deflected slightly again, as if in a very short period of time, he subtly pressed the ball that was about to rub against the racket soaring to the sky and forced it down with the edge of the racket, and then he Stretch out your arms and continue to rush forward. Through this posture, the side of your racket and the ball form a very strange friction.

Something wonderful happened.

The violent topspin on the ball was abruptly stopped in this way, and then the ball made a nearly ninety-degree turn in the air and landed on Wang Chao's left side of the table near the edge of the net. Flew directly from the side of the table.

Wang Chao stood on the spot without even moving, watching the ball fly away.

1:0, the Sakura Country team scored.

There was a series of exclamations in the auditorium, followed by crackling applause. Many fans showed surprise in their eyes, because they really didn't understand the ball at that moment.

Although it takes thousands of words to describe the details and technical content of this ball, in fact, in the eyes of the audience, the only thing Takashi Nikubo did at that moment was to directly hit the ball that was flying towards him. He stabbed it out, but he missed it, so the ball didn't hit the bottom of his racket head-on, but hit the rubber on one side of him, and after hitting it, it was as if by magic. Make an emergency stop and change direction.

The whole process seems to be inconsistent with macroscopic physical mechanics.

In fact, even the broadcast director felt that the ball was weird, so many large screens above the venue began to replay the scene just now in slow motion synchronously.

But to be honest, there is indeed a threshold for professional table tennis competitions, and it is not low. Even if the camera is slowed down, what should be incomprehensible is still incomprehensible.

"Did you see that, audience friends, this is the truth I found out after doing my homework yesterday. This guy named Niwa Takashi actually has a very good touch, especially his side cut, which can be described as miraculous. You probably I don’t know how difficult the ball was just now. Let me tell you this. If the difficulty factor of the ultra-long-distance side cut that Wang Chao has used many times is 7, then the difficulty of his forced high-speed side cut in the table is at least There are 12, not an exaggeration at all."

He looked at the barrage and continued with a smile: "I didn't say that he is better than Wang Chao, I just commented on his side cut, the difficulty is indeed extremely high, but his handling is actually wrong, because The risk is too high, and the error rate is extremely high. I made a special statistics yesterday. He has frequently used this kind of side cut in the past games, but the success rate is actually only about 50.00%. Of course, even 50.00% is very high. It's amazing, because other people don't know how to do this kind of thing at all, even if they try to do it, the success rate is likely to be less than ten percent."

In any case, with the first goal at the start, the Sakura Country team took the lead, which also made many fans guarding the Hou team feel a little nervous.

"I think Wang Chao's next ball should focus on high-quality backspin, and Yichuan Mima can't handle the ball too easily. In fact, it is also possible to serve the ball. It is best to serve it as long as possible and to the bottom line. Don't I'm afraid that Yichuan Mima will attack directly, because Yichuan Mima's absolute strength is insufficient, and she won't pull a circle. Once she comes out, her offensive power is not great, and Tang Yuanyuan can handle it completely." Hou Xijia said before Wang Chao served again. said such words.

But he didn't know that at almost the same time, Ge Miao, who was sitting behind He Jingping in the stadium thousands of miles away, was asking, "Does it matter?"

"After all, they are new opponents. Let's try their quality first. There is no need to pay too much attention to the outcome of the first few goals." He Jingping sneered slightly: "I think Yichuan Mima is a little blindly confident."

Ge Miao was stunned: "I mean Niwa Xiaoxi's side cut, who told you that Yichuan was lost."

But He Jingping pointed forward: "Look, now Wang Chao is going to get serious."

Wang Chao served again, and it turned out to be a high toss that he rarely used.

When the ball fell from a height of three meters, Yichuan Mima's whole body tensed up, her body squatted slightly, level with the table, her eyes turned up slightly, and she stared at every movement of Wang Chao.

She is confident, otherwise she would not risk the world's disgrace, and take the initiative to choose to face Wang Chao as a female player.

But she didn't dare to take it lightly, because she had deeply studied all of Wang Chao's public matches, and she knew exactly how strong Wang Chao's serving ability was.

She needs to see clearly every subtle movement change of Wang Chao's wrist, arm, and elbow during the period from when the ball falls to when it touches the racket and when the ball leaves the racket. What he got was a serve that was completely inconsistent with his own judgment.

Only when the ball officially leaves the racket does it mean that the properties of the ball will not change.

She saw that the free falling position of the ball was exactly on the central axis of Wang Chao's body, neither to the left nor to the right.

She saw that Wang Chao's body began to shake vaguely, the racket was erected, and the side edge of the racket was aimed at the front, and it was unclear which side of the rubber he was going to use to catch the ball.

When she saw the ball fell to the height of Wang Chao's eyes, Wang Chao leaned forward with the racket. The side edge of the racket was still shaking, and it was only at the last moment that he suddenly deflected slightly to the left and caught the ball.

Then Wang Chao's arm was sent forward, and his body leaned forward. It looked like a simple backspin ball purely borrowed from the gravity potential energy of the high throw.

Yichuan Mima stared at it so hard that she almost thought it was really a high-quality backspin ball with strong spin.

But at the last moment, she still observed that Wang Chao's arm and wrist had an abnormal swing, and after the ball flew out of the racket, his arm even swung out unnaturally.

The trend of serving in modern table tennis is more and more about extremely small hand movements, extremely fast touches, and extremely short friction processes. Accurate, more and more detailed, which leads to any player using any racket to serve the ball, even if the movements are exactly the same, the final ball may be completely different.

Yi Chuan Mima believes in her observation and judgment. Considering that the spin of this high throw ball must be extremely strong, she dare not control the ball's landing point to the limit on the left bottom line of the opposite table when handling the ball, but Slightly reduce the difficulty, just be able to hit the ball to the position halfway up the left side of Tang Yuanyuan's body.

But she never expected that as soon as her racket touched the ball, she obviously felt that the direction of rotation was wrong. The next moment, the ball flew out from the side while spinning.

1:1, the Tang Dynasty team tied the score.
