Ping Pong Life

Chapter 379 Fan Rulai and Hou Wukong

Naturally, Fan Xiaodong's short downspin at the beginning was not intentional to harm Hou Xijia, nor was it intentional to disobey Sun Tianlong's order.

The fact is that Sun Tianlong's advice to Fan Xiaodong in this game was exactly the same as his advice to Lin Li in the previous game. He asked Fan Xiaodong to play the first round by instinct.

This is not irresponsible, but to continue to inherit Wang Lu's great wisdom, close his eyes and use the bastard punch that can't stop his mind, to disrupt all Wang Chao's predictions about Fan Xiaodong before the match.

In fact, this trick is effective, because Wang Chao did analyze Fan Xiaodong before the match. Based on the whole process of the two men's last confrontation, combined with the strengths and weaknesses of the two in actual combat, he guessed a general tactical arrangement of the opponent. .

Just as Sun Tianlong guessed that Fan Xiaodong would steal, Wang Chao also speculated that Fan Xiaodong would steal.

But when Fan Xiaodong played by instinct, he subconsciously sent a short backspin.

This shows that he is not a child who likes to play tricks in essence. He is young, simple-minded, has a solid foundation and super talent, so he has been used to playing basic skills since the beginning when he was learning ball in the small arena in Liancheng. .

Short backspin is synonymous with basic skills.

Although Wang Chao was surprised, he was not affected. He swung steadily and landed near the center of the opponent's table.

He has a psychological advantage in fighting Fan Xiaodong. On the one hand, he has watched Fan Xiaodong grow up, so he doesn't worry about Fan Xiaodong hiding any super moves. On the other hand, he has won before, which proves that his overall strength is superior to the opponent.

Therefore, even though the outside world generally believed that Bai Feng and Lin Li were dead and Fan Xiaodong was Wang Chao's biggest enemy in the future, Wang Chao himself felt that Fan Xiaodong was actually easier to deal with.

He wasn't in a hurry, since Fan Xiaodong was short and underspin, he would face the challenge head-on, take the initiative to fight short, and see who would change his move first.

Fan Xiaodong swayed short.

Wang Chao made short moves.

Fan Xiaodong swayed again.

Wang Chao swayed again.

This ball is very interesting. In fact, all professional table tennis games have a relatively tacit unspoken rule in terms of fighting short: when the two sides do not understand each other well enough, they will use this method to test each other, but when the two sides understand each other better, There are very few people who continue to have a short head.

Because the small ball in the table handles this matter, it is less prone to abnormal performance than other technologies. That is to say, when the same two players face each other, whose table ball is better is actually relatively constant.

So in theory, Fan Xiaodong should not continue to play short, he should lower the bottom line, mobilize a wide angle, or rush to attack, after all, he knew clearly that he could not beat Wang Chao in the last fight.

So why is it so?
In fact, it was because Sun Tianlong let him play intuition in the first game.

Fan Xiaodong has a domineering side in his character, he is not a good boy like Lin Zijun, otherwise his style of play would not be full of violence and oppression.

But his tutor is very good, he is not the kind of thorny head who wants to stand alone and show his unique character at every turn, on the contrary, he is very obedient.

He decided to follow the coach's order seriously in the first game and play basic skills according to his own nature.

Basic skills, isn't that just fighting short?

After all, he is not bad at fighting, better than most people in the world.

Although it is slightly worse than Brother Chao, but... Brother Long has repeatedly emphasized that I can fight however I want.

Fan Xiaodong actually didn't know where the essence of fighting by feeling was, but apart from being obedient, there was another biggest difference between him and Bai Feng and Lin Li, which was that he was young and didn't care about gains and losses.

He is not afraid of losing, and he doesn't care whether he can get a card. He is only 15 years old, and his hobbies have not even been finalized. In many cases, he cares more about the various new feelings on the court than winning or losing.

So it's quite fun for him to bite the bullet and play with a mentality that he knows he can't fight but still wants to fight. It is still the head coach's permission to play in such a wayward way at the critical moment of the World Series. Yes, this is even more fun.

Fighting indiscriminately according to orders, this kind of thing will never happen to other teammates in a lifetime, right?
Well, of course, there is another point, because Qin Huachang no longer stared at him, and no longer tried his best to instill the concept of "must not lose a game", which made him let himself go a little bit.

At this time, Fan Xiaodong didn't know how much trouble his little self-indulgence had caused Hou Xijia who was thousands of miles away.

In the case of being struck by lightning at the beginning of the spoiler commentary, Hou Xijia actually held on with difficulty.

He did not force himself to defend himself, but explained to the audience with a very sincere attitude: "I am not coach Qin Huachang, nor do I have as brilliant opinions as him. I want to make a spoiler commentary. It is just an attempt. You should Seeing the value of this kind of attempt, after all, I am also an old professional player and have achieved certain results. I believe that I can still do this. As for today, it is probably because the realm of these two people is too high. My prediction, in the days to come, when the players are not so strong in the Table Tennis A and Table Tennis Super League, I may still try again, I hope everyone will be more tolerant.”

These heartfelt words, coupled with his honest and honest appearance, won him the understanding of the audience. Even foreign friends sent incomprehensible bullet screens one after another. There were a lot of exclamation marks missing in the back, which shows that his mood is stable.

Then Hou Xijia couldn't help but want to go back and make up for it.

He said: "Although it's hard for me to predict this game, I still understand the basic principles of the game. At least, Fan Xiaodong can't compete with Wang Chao, because this is obviously an egg hitting a stone."

After saying this, Fan Xiaodong fought with Wang Chao for eight rounds.

Hou Xijia was a little embarrassed, coughed, and continued to make up for it: "Probably because Wang Chao has been playing mixed doubles for several months, and he hasn't played against Fan Xiaodong for a long time, so Fan Xiaodong wants to challenge again. Let's see if Wang Chao's hand feeling is still good today." Is it that good... If it is reasonable to speculate, if the ball is lost, he should not be stupid again."

When he finished speaking, the first ball had already been played, and it turned out that Fan Xiaodong made a mistake in his short fight and returned the ball too high. .

1:0, Wang Chao leads.

Fan Xiaodong continued to serve, and Hou Xijia was very depressed to see that Fan Xiaodong sent another short backspin and continued to fight against Wang Chao.

At this time, no one is scolding on the bullet screen. The Chinese bullet screen is all hahahaha, and the foreign language bullet screen is full of simple repeated characters. Although the meaning is unclear, it is obvious that it should also be the hahahaha of the national version.

Foreign friends are very entertaining. After the initial wtf, they suddenly found that it is interesting to watch live commentary instead of professional commentary. This elderly anchor from Huaguo who I have never heard of, although It seems that he is working hard, but he can make every judgment wrong, which actually proves his true strength.

After all, it is difficult to be all right, but not everyone can do it all wrong. For example, if you do a test paper full of multiple-choice questions, the difficulty of scoring 0 points and 100 points is theoretically yes. Pretty much the same.

Fortunately, Hou Lajia doesn't know the true state of mind of foreign friends, otherwise he would probably have passed out crying in the toilet...

He is really not alive...

He really didn't make a mistake on purpose...

He just...well, it just so happened that he got all the questions wrong.

However, his nightmare was not over.

The reason is that Fan Xiaodong actually scored the second ball.

When Fan Xiaodong continued to fight Wang Chao, everyone thought that Fan Xiaodong was going to be bad, but this time after eight rounds of fighting, although Fan Xiaodong swayed high, the ball landed on the net when it fell, and then changed the line and slid down. The absolute accident forced Wang Chao to save the ball in a hurry, but the ball returned very straight, and he was more risky than Fan Xiaodong.

So Fan Xiaodong directly attacked the forehand inside the stage, Wang Chao blocked it, Fan Xiaodong attacked again, Wang Chao blocked again, Fan Xiaodong stepped back from the stage and charged with all his strength, and broke through Wang Chao's defense line for three consecutive boards, tying the score at 1:1.

It's actually a ball of luck.

However, in table tennis matches, the final outcome of many rounds is often caused by dribble, because in a sense, dribble is actually more likely to cause a strong sense of frustration to the side that loses points than power balls. Some people even feel that there is such a thing as the god of luck in the dark, and stand behind each other.

Wang Chao is an absolute materialist, but because of this ball, Hou Xijia once again gave the next judgment based on his analysis and experience of the trend of international competitions over the years: "Okay, I thought Fan Xiaodong was going to hit the top of the line today." Those who lost the game turned out to be lucky, so it seems that this game has not ended so easily, and it is likely to be a fierce battle."

He said enthusiastically: "It seems that Fan Xiaodong is quite confident in his touch today. I still remember that when he beat Wang Chaoshi in April, he was beaten by Wang Chao with unpredictable offensive rhythm. So nothing unexpected If so, he will focus on offense in today's game, because the facts have proved that defense cannot be defended."

Then he watched as Wang Chao sent a backhand to steal the long ball. It was as if the ball was fed to Fan Xiaodong's mouth, waiting for Fan Xiaodong's backhand to be violently twisted by the overlord.

But Fan Xiaodong couldn't play the ball, he rubbed the ball back steadily.

On the contrary, Wang Chao went straight to the board to attack, and Fan Xiaodong continued to defend. When he defended the third board, Fan Xiaodong was penetrated.

2:1, Wang Chao leads.

Hou Xijia blinked at the screen, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He always felt that Fan Xiaodong probably heard what he said and was deliberately against him.

Otherwise, why would he want to fight when he said he couldn't fight.He said he would rush to attack, but why didn't he attack the ball he could?
It would be nice if Fan Xiaodong's abnormal behavior worked, but the facts proved that every time he made a different choice from Hou Xijia, he lost points.

This proves that Hou Xijia's judgment is actually correct.

So why bother Fan Xiaodong?
Do you really want to ruin my brother Hou's live broadcasting career even if you lose the game?

Hou Xijia lost interest in speaking, and sighed: "Okay, I admit it, audience friends, let's watch the game first, I still follow the old rules, let me tell you about the game process."

In fact, the course of this ball is far less intricate, ups and downs, and exciting than most fans imagine.

The scene was pretty good. After all, Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong were both good at attacking, and their basic skills were good enough. Whether it was fighting short, offensive and defensive, or stalemate, they all played beautifully. The hitting posture displayed at both ends of the table is full of power and beauty. The transparency of the force is quite eye-catching and relieves pressure.

However, the direction of the game is very simple.

The first round ended at 11:5, and Wang Chao won. In this round, Fan Xiaodong sent a lot of short backspin, and took the initiative to fight against Wang Chao many times, losing most of the time.

In addition, Fan Xiaodong has also tried many times to catch the serve and attack directly, or hit the ball suddenly and unreasonably, and it is an unreasonable ball. Most of these balls are missed, but they also hit two. , and scored successfully.

This actually proves one thing: when a player like Fan Xiaodong hits an unreasonable and unreasonable ball, even the current Wang Chao has a hard time catching it.

In fact, the principle of this kind of scoring is similar to that of Hook half a year ago. Hook is often able to attack suddenly when the opponent is completely unprepared because he is too wild. Although the success rate of this kind of attack is extremely low, but Once it is done, the opponent has no time to react.

Even Lin Zijun half an hour ago had to actively ask Hook to attack by serving the ball to the long ball in order to complete the defense, because under such circumstances, Hook's offense can be traced.

Then some readers will ask, since the irrational ball is so easy to use, why don't other players use it?

That's because the so-called unreasonable ball can be played, and it must actually follow objective principles. It's just that the conditions for this kind of ball to be played are very harsh and extreme, and it is not a routine situation, so it is difficult to predict and difficult to predict. It is difficult to form a fixed routine through training, and because of its extreme and harshness, it can almost be said to belong only to geniuses.

So it's not that ordinary players don't play unreasonable balls, but they can't hit them. If you really want to play, then congratulations, 100% suicide success rate, which is equivalent to delivering food to your door, oh yeah.

Back to this game.

After the first game, the second game came soon.

Fan Xiaodong completely changed his appearance.

In the first game, he played as he wanted, and perfectly executed Sun Tianlong's plan. In the second game, Sun Tianlong also told him: carefully recall the game situation of the first game, and draw up the matchup of the second game according to the actual situation. bureau thinking.

Yes, it's that simple sentence.

In fact, Sun Tianlong is very concerned about cultivating the independent thinking ability of the players. He is not afraid that the players will lose, but that the players will not think.

If you lose this game, take the players to watch the video together after the game, and analyze why you lost one by one. What do you think here, how did you go wrong in the result, what lessons should you learn from it, and what conclusions should you draw? Next time you meet the same opponent, how do you build a new analysis model? How many layers does the opponent’s psychological game have, and how do you ensure that there is exactly one more layer than him.

Sun Tianlong believes that the fight between Fan Xiaodong and Wang Chao is very, very valuable for analysis. Afterwards, he must watch and analyze the game at least ten times. As for today's victory or defeat itself, it is not important.

After reviewing the first game, Fan Xiaodong's conclusion was actually not complicated, and it was almost the same as what Sun Tianlong said to Hou Xijia: I still can't beat Brother Chao in short combat, and I can't defend against Brother Chao, so I still have to Attack.

In this round, Wang Chao served first. His basic strategy is short backspin, because he has an obvious advantage in fighting short.

Wang Chao successfully scored the first two goals, leading 2:0.

Afterwards, Fan Xiaodong got the right to serve, directly stealing long, hitting Wang Chao's backhand baseline, forcing Wang Chao to enter a stalemate, and Wang Chao's strategy is also very simple: Considering that the opponent's ability to retreat is too strong, then, Unless I can find good enough opportunities to take the initiative as soon as I attack, otherwise, I would rather keep the ball in the changing situation in the table.

Therefore, Fan Xiaodong stole two consecutive serves, and Wang Chao steadily rubbed back the short backspin. One of the balls became short, and Fan Xiaodong finally showed his flaws and was killed. Fan Xiaodong seized the fleeting opportunity and directly hit with his forehand in the ring, followed by a backhand overlord, piercing through Wang Chao's defense.

The score became 3:1.

"Okay! This is the so-called rigidity that cannot last long and softness that cannot be defended. We have seen that even if Wang Chao's ability to control the small ball in the table is superb, it will still show flaws in the end. This is because the small ball in the table is too much for the players. The force is stable, and this kind of high-quality internal pendulum with extremely strong rotation has almost abnormal demands on the fineness of force. In this case, even Wang Chao dare not say that it will be stable. ah."

Hou Xijia became excited again. He felt that he had seen the real direction of the game, so he said again: "No matter who wins or loses, I only know that when Fan Xiaodong scored this overlord, it represented today's game. The ball is 18% a fierce battle, and in the second game alone, I don’t think it will be one-sided, and the two sides must play at least [-] balls!”

"Yes, I stud, I have a showdown, even if this game is a high-end game, I am sure that my judgment is correct!"

The so-called 18 goals refers to the combined total points of both players, that is to say, apart from the 11 points of the winning side, Hou Liga believes that the losing side can get at least 7 points.

11:7 is already relatively evenly matched.

However, Hou Xijia was really wrong this time, because he overestimated the difficulty of the fine control of the small ball in the table. He thought it was very difficult. In the eyes of geniuses and time travel cheaters, this matter is really not as difficult as imagined.

At the beginning, Zhu Shixian, who was known as the world's number one slasher, also thought that the fine control in the stage would take at least ten years of practice to stabilize. Later, he was swayed by Wang Chao on T2 and doubted his life.

Of course, this is also because Hou Xijia is a chipper. After all, he has never played a full-table offensive style, and his understanding of offensive players is relatively weak.

In fact, if Qin Huachang was watching, he would tell him that the game had already set the tone for the entire game, and the results of the normal game had been written in advance.

Because the similarities and differences between the two sides are actually clear at a glance.

The common denominator is that both sides advocate offensive scoring.

The difference is that Wang Chao needs a better opportunity to get up, while Fan Xiaodong is looking for a chance to get up, as long as there is a slight chance, he must fight.

The reason why there is such a difference, in the final analysis, is because Wang Chao has better small balls in the table, so he has a choice.

It is also the initiative of this choice that becomes the winner of the game.

Does the principle of this scene look familiar?

Yes, Wang Chao's first game against Sun Tianlong in the Table Tennis Super League in March was actually exactly the same as it is now.

At that time, Sun Tianlong's small ball in the table was better, forcing Wang Chao to fight desperately, but the success rate of the fight was low, while Sun Tianlong only kicked the ball when he caught the chance to kill, and the success rate of the fight was super high. High, so they hit each other, and the score gap between the two sides widened.

It was the same in this round, Fan Xiaodong forcibly attacked seven times, succeeded three times, committed suicide four times, Wang Chao found an opportunity to attack three times, and scored all of them.

In the second game, the players on both sides looked quite fierce, full of blood, fighting each other, and playing passionately, but the score was finally fixed at 11:3, Fan Xiaodong's score was not as good as the first game, it looked like a crushing game Only those who have seen it with their own eyes will know that most of the attacks in the audience were actually initiated by Fan Xiaodong.

When the game was over and drinking water on the sidelines, Wang Chao couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he thought of the game he was crushed by Sun Tianlong in March.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

Today is my turn to bully others.

Hou Xijia looked at the sarcasm on his bullet screen, and felt a headache. He suspected that his career as a professional anchor had come to an end.

He felt like that monkey, who thought he had great powers and kept jumping, but no matter how he jumped, it was wrong. In the end, he tried to fight back, but was slammed into the Five Elements Mountain by a giant hand falling from the sky.

He Fan Xiaodong is Tathagata.

I, Hou Xijia, is Wukong.

God's will is like a knife.

Fate cannot escape.
