Ping Pong Life

Chapter 376 The Great Breakthrough

No one knew what happened to Lin Zijun.

In fact, an hour ago, even Lin Zijun didn't know that earth-shaking changes would take place in him.

At that time, he really planned to lay down and lie down, because he was actually not as resilient and strong as the outside world commented.

His nature is weak, his personality is simple and pure, and he is willing to abide by discipline, which makes him always appear very resilient in the game and never give up.

But in fact, it’s just because he feels that if he doesn’t fight, he just admits defeat. If he plays, it means he wants to fight, and he should fight to the end. What’s more, coach Jiang Peirong has been silently supporting me behind me, even for his sake. Looking forward, I shouldn't give up.

So do you understand?
Lin Zijun's tenacity, in many cases, is actually just because he observes discipline and obeys the rules. He is willing to carry out a matter according to the original plan to the end, and when he accepts other people's expectations, he will also stick to this expectation to the end.

But he himself is not that strong.

In recent months, he has suffered too many blows.

He lost in singles in a row, so he turned halfway to study mixed doubles. From this alone, it can be seen that he does not have the stubbornness to stick to one path to the end, nor does he have a natural mentality of a strong man.

However, he did not expect that he suffered a heavier blow in mixed doubles than in singles.

In the singles, he just couldn't make any further progress, but in the mixed doubles, he didn't even climb the pole at all, let alone make a further step.

After losing to the Jinda Lai Guo combination, he was actually very confused.

He didn't understand that his style of play was so rigorous and perfectly followed the kingly standards that mixed doubles should have, but why he couldn't beat anyone?
On the contrary, it was Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan, who seemed to be fighting randomly, and often gave people a feeling of nonsense, but in the end they won one victory after another.

In the past two days, Lin Zijun was very confused. This kind of confusion reached the extreme after he defeated Weng Chunting with 8 points and 4 points in singles.

Because he found that his personal ability is not a problem, even stronger than he imagined, then, why is my doubles so messed up when I am so strong?

He is confident that he can beat Xian Youwen out of shit in singles, but in mixed doubles, Xian Youwen beat him out of shit.

He didn't understand, so he thought desperately, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out. He and Zhen Jing replayed all the games together, no matter whether they lost or won, trying to find out the problem of their combination, but the replay didn't work until the end. , not only did not find the reason for the loss, but even the reason for the victory could not be found.

He could only turn to Jiang Peirong for help, but after thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Peirong gave him the answer: You probably encountered a bottleneck.

It cannot be said that Jiang Peirong is completely farting, because for new players, there is indeed a short bottleneck period, which is somewhat similar to the "rookie wall" in basketball.

When you are a rookie, you are fearless and rush forward, and you may be able to achieve good results, but when you see more and know more, you start to analyze and think, but you will continue to lose.

It's not that you have become weaker, but that you used to win in "beating the master to death with random punches", but now you are working hard to become a master.

At the same time, others did not understand you at that time, but now others have begun to study you.

Jiang Peirong comforted him and said: "Don't worry, this period will pass soon."

Lin Zijun always felt that what Jiang Peirong said was wrong, but he couldn't find any other reason.

So Lin Zijun gave up later.

He felt that he should probably settle down and practice in seclusion. Maybe after the German Open, he could contact his good friend Wang Chao and ask Wang Chao to give him advice.

As for now, everyone is busy, and Wang Chao still has to fight on two fronts, so he should choose to lie flat first.

As soon as he thought of fighting Hook, he felt desperate. Anyway, he was losing, so he didn't bother to go to rest. He insisted on coming to the scene early in the morning, wanting to see how Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan would fight Jin Dalai.

This is a bit of his obsession. After all, his confusion was originally caused by the combination of Jindalee, so he wanted to see with his own eyes whether the combination can continue today.

He watched the whole process of Wang Chao's mixed doubles semi-final match. The more he watched, the more he felt wronged, and the more he watched, the more he felt unconvinced, because Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan were fighting indiscriminately, and all the content of the match did not meet his mixed doubles. Both understood, but it was Che Songxin and Xian Youwen who played very disciplined.

But in the end Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan won a big victory.

At the moment when this match ended, Lin Zijun's mind was completely in chaos, all thoughts came flooding in, he only felt sweating all over, his hands and feet were cold, those thoughts couldn't be stopped at all, like sea water poured in like crazy, he even suspected that he was going to die Well, all kinds of pessimistic and desperate emotions in the past two days, mixed with a lot of inconclusive questions, were all mixed together, so he had to close his eyes, grit his teeth, straighten his body, and hold on tightly. , trying to calm myself down.

His state at this time is a bit like a computer that suddenly starts all the programs downloaded in the hard disk by itself. A large amount of information accumulation and information processing cause the processor to go down, but it is still running extremely hard. Get rid of them all, and dispel this overloaded state of yourself.

The reason why it became like this is actually related to his character.

He is very sensible and introverted. He hides many emotions and refuses to express them, and also holds back many thoughts. Therefore, when an incentive appears, all these suppressed things will be stimulated.

Wang Chao saw him closing his eyes before leaving the game, but he only thought that he was closing his eyes and resting his mind. He didn't realize that Lin Zijun was probably at the most important moment in his career at that time.

If we must use a more popular term to explain this moment, then it can probably be called "enlightenment".

It took Lin Zijun 5 minutes to complete this process. During this period, he could hear Zhen Jing on the left and Jiang Peirong on the right calling his name. He seemed a little flustered. Zhen Jing tried to shake him awake, but Jiang Peirong asked Zhen Jing not to mess around, and just wait and see how things turn out to be better.

Then he opened his eyes, only to feel that his mind was clear, and all doubts were swept away in an instant.

Regarding mixed doubles and singles, he suddenly figured it out.

It seems that I have encountered different difficulties in these two projects, but in fact they are essentially the same problem.

I am too obedient.

Yes, it was because I was too obedient.

When he practiced ball since he was a child, he has always been very strict. He strives for standards in all postures, and strives to be logical in every strategy. There must be a clear reason for the outcome of each game. Later, when he played mixed doubles, the handling of each ball , must be reasonable, and all the responses between him and Zhen Jing must meet the standard answer of mixed and upward compatibility.

So Zhen Jing never attacked, and Lin Zijun rarely defended.

He heard that mixed doubles requires male players to have a strong forehand, so he began to work hard to improve his strength.

He obviously has a super strong backhand, but he insisted on using the forehand in mixed doubles, because everyone said that according to human mechanics, the forehand must be stronger than the backhand.

He felt that Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan were fighting randomly because Tang Yuanyuan didn't control the ball well when catching the ball, but directly retreated and pulled the arc high, clearly giving the opponent a chance to attack.

Wang Chao went too far. Some balls were obviously capable of attacking but had to be rubbed over, and some balls were clearly capable of attacking and missed and had to retreat and cut sideways.

The more high-end the game, the more simple and plain it needs to be, and the less fancy it is, the more it rejects the bells and whistles, because the bells and whistles mean inaccuracy, and inaccuracy means that there will be punishment. This is the correct theory Lin Zijun believes.

But Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan have different bells and whistles in every game. They play around and win after playing.

Later, Lin Zijun watched Qin Huachang’s commentary video on the first day. He understood the high-end theories behind Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan’s playfulness that he hadn’t understood yet. This video is very important. This is what Lin Zijun can finally figure out today. Propellant, which delivered the necessary theoretical fuel for Lin Zijun's breakthrough.

Now Lin Zijun fully understands.

It turned out that he played too unfreely.

Not presumptuous enough, not arbitrary enough, encountering accidents on the court, and lacking unrestrained imagination and eclectic handling ability.

It turns out that I have been locked in a cage to play, no matter how precise, gorgeous, and disciplined I play, I always only toss in a small area.

What he really needs is an exception.

Take off the cage and fly into the sky.

With this level of understanding, he looked back at the many games he played in the past, and suddenly understood the real reason why he won or lost.

Why does he keep losing to Hook?
It's not because Hook's talent can really crush him unreasonably, but because he hasn't really fully released his specialties.

He beat Hook in the usual way, shutting himself in a cage, but he didn't know that Hook was a fierce tiger that had escaped from the cage from the very beginning.

Ye Luzi is the label on Hu Ke, which restricts his stability, but also makes him unconstrained.

There are things that Hook lacks most in himself, and similarly, there are things that Hook lacks most in himself.

Lin Zijun was very fortunate, because Hu Ke hadn't realized it yet, but he had realized it ahead of time.

When he stood up from the chair in the stands, he was sweating profusely from top to bottom, and even felt a sense of exhaustion, and a faint tiredness lingered all over his body.

But his spirit was satisfied, he smiled and said to Jiang Peirong and Zhen Jing: "I'm fine."

Jiang Peirong thought that he was overwhelmed by the pressure, and suggested that he abstain from the game and go back to rest, but Lin Zijun just wanted to have a quick game.

He finally knew how to fight Hook.

Not with the method taught to him by Wang Chao and He Jingping.

Nor was it the method that Fan Xiaodong had personally demonstrated.

Not to mention the methods of Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu.

Because that is someone else's method.

And he, Lin Zijun, has the talent of extreme speed, the best backhand speed twisting ability in the world, excellent touch and rigorous game mentality. No one is different.

This is the most precious thing he just got.

He named it "The Heart of Freedom".

At this time, he didn't know that Wang Chao actually had something similar, called "King's Heart".

Different attitudes represent their different development directions and different pursuit goals in the future.

"Do I want to beat Hook?"

"Yes I want to win."

"But what I really want most is to create something that belongs to me, Lin Zijun."

"It's just that in this process, if Hook can't stop it, then I'm sorry, I'm going to enter the final by the way."

(This chapter is a bit short, because there is not enough time, and it will be eight o'clock, so I can only post it first. Let's continue tomorrow)
