Ping Pong Life

Chapter 384
Lin Zijun sent a very standard short backspin near the center position.

This represents his attitude towards this game.

"I know you're nuanced and I'm not, but that's okay."

"I heard that a high-level game that is really evenly matched must start with a defensive stance, test with a cautious attitude, look for opportunities with a precise eye, then launch an attack with thunderous momentum, and finally, separate with a bayonet. win or lose."

"Then let's fight like this."

Theoretically speaking, all long balls can be attacked, all sneak attacks can be predicted, and all deceitful actions will reduce the quality of the serve. is truly impeccable.

Theoretically, between serving and receiving, when both parties have equal control, the receiving party must show its flaws first.

This is because the essence of serving is to make the ball move from stationary to dynamic, and the whole process is completely controllable.The essence of catching the ball is to change the mode of the already moving ball and then move it again. You can only estimate its initial value and adapt to it, but you cannot make an absolutely accurate and correct judgment.

So even if Lin Zijun didn't pay attention to details, he still believed that the current self, under the premise of mastering the right to serve, could try the short ball in the court with Wang Chao.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this: he needs to have a strong enough offensive ability and a keen enough ability to capture opportunities.

Because in theory, even if the receiving side is more likely to reveal a flaw, but when the opponent's hand feels good enough, this flaw may be extremely subtle, fleeting, and even difficult to detect.

Therefore, he had to catch this flaw the moment it appeared, and then launch a rush attack without hesitation, and also ensure the success rate of this difficult rush attack.

Lin Zijun didn't know how to use this kind of game strategy before, because at that time he played extremely rationally, and everything followed the established rules. Take this life-or-death path when you have other normal choices.

But now, he does what he wants to do.

Faced with this serve, Wang Chao's only choice was to swing it short, and he also swings Lin Zijun's side closer to the center of the table.

He doesn't think there's anything wrong with his swing.

Close enough, low enough, turn enough.

But Lin Zijun shot without hesitation, with a fierce forehand.

Note that it is not a slap, but a slam, which means that there is no follow-up to the ball. After he finished the slam pose, his body rotated a small half circle in the direction of his arm due to inertia. If Wang Chao can block the ball at this time With a super fast return ball, Lin Zijun, whose body is still in inertia, will definitely not be able to force his body to stop suddenly and change direction to save the ball.

This is a life-or-death choice.

But he was right.

Lin Zijun made a quick pick and scored directly.

1:0, only 3 seconds into the game, Lin Zijun scored first.

In the auditorium, the sound of "wow" was heard.

The ball was so abrupt that no one thought of it. It is not an exaggeration to say that even Sun Tianlong, who was sitting by the fender behind Wang Chao, and He Jingping, who was in the last row, didn't think of it.

Because Wang Chao's back swing is actually not a problem, neither high nor short of rotation, in the conventional sense it is not a ball that can be rebounded at all, but it belongs to the standard model template of strict defense.

Only Wang Chao narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, re-adjusting his perception of Lin Zijun's danger in his heart.

Of course, his back swing can be attacked, because if you really use tools to measure the difference in indicators between his back swing and Lin Zijun's serve, you will inevitably find that his back swing is slightly higher and spins higher than Lin Zijun's serve. slightly weaker.

This is a natural disadvantage of receiving compared to serving, and it can be ignored under normal circumstances.

But if it must be theoretically accurate to a certain point, this can of course be regarded as a flaw.

Since it is a flaw, it can be attacked, but it is very difficult and the success rate is very low.

This kind of flaw that does not seem to exist to the naked eye, once it is broken, actually presents the "unreasonable ball" that we have said many times before.

The essence of the irrational ball is a reasonable ball under extremely extreme and narrow conditions.

Playing this kind of ball requires players to work very hard.

Wang Chao had guessed that Lin Zijun would be very hardworking, but he did not expect that Lin Zijun would be so hardworking.

In fact, when he saw Lin Zijun's pre-match interview, Wang Chao already realized that Lin Zijun had changed.

The former Lin Zijun would never say these words in public, let alone challenge another person in front of the whole world.

At that time, Lin Zijun blushed even when talking to strangers. He was afraid of being noticed, discussed, and even more afraid of getting caught in a fishing boat. He wished he could be invisible and transparent.

But now Lin Zijun took the initiative to attract the attention of the whole world, just to build momentum for himself and put pressure on his opponent in the final.

This is already a superficial use of "potential".

If a person dares to open his mouth in public, it can only show that he has a thick skin, but if he dares to speak freely in front of the whole world, without caring how other people will react, it proves that he has gained spiritual freedom and become Unrestrained, and this feeling is actually a great benefit to the performance of the game.

Even Wang Chao himself hadn't fully comprehended this truth when he first transmigrated. It wasn't until the peerless battle between him and Zhu Ding in the Ping Chao that he was stripped naked by Geng Shuai in full view of the public. He was ashamed and angry. I realized this level.

Then he changed. When he faced Lin Zijun for the first time on T2, in order to win, he directly imitated Zhang Benkuang, yelling and trying to destroy Lin Zijun's mentality. As a result, he was unanimously disgusted by the fans and booed on the spot. It formed a situation where thousands of people blamed it, but he didn't care at all.

Just because his mind was free, he could guarantee absolute peace of mind and no external interference in all subsequent games, no matter home or away, no matter if there were cheers or booing from others, no matter whether the situation was favorable or not. It is bad, he can guarantee to play the best state.

That's why his technical stability is as high as it is now.

Now he didn't even feel a little bit after hearing the roar of Zhang Benkuang's talent "prestige".

It is precisely because he knows how precious this kind of spiritual freedom is that after seeing Lin Zijun's interview, Wang Chao immediately realized that Lin Zijun had become terrifying, and quickly raised his awareness of Lin Zijun's danger.

But now after the first ball was played, Wang Chao found that his thinking was still conservative.

Lin Zijun served again, still with short backspin.

Wang Chao still swung back, this time slightly different from the first ball in that the ball landed not in the center of the near point of the table, but in the backhand position from the near point of the table.

Lin Zijun still didn't hesitate at all, and directly stepped forward, with a hearty backhand twist.

With a sound of "poof", the ball hit the net and spun on its own, rubbing against the net and making a squeaking sound, but it still didn't crawl over the net in the end.

1:1, Lin Zijun attacked and committed suicide, Wang Chao regained one point.

There was a sound of "ah" in the stands, and the audience generally felt sorry, because they really wanted to see this kind of unreasonable extreme attacking the ball again.

The camera on the big screen above the venue quickly split into two halves at this moment, showing the close-ups of Wang Chao and Lin Zijun's expressions respectively.

The director is quite good at making things happen, but unfortunately, the expressions of the players on both sides are very calm, as if the ball just now was not played by them at all.

"That's reasonable." He Jingping smiled at Sun Tianlong.

However, Sun Tianlong only said "um", his eyes were still fixed on the field, and he seemed extremely focused.

It was Wang Chao and He Jingping who persuaded him to sit in this position. He is a very responsible man. Since Wang Chao made an exception and asked him to be an off-site coach, he must try his best to observe Lin Zijun clearly and give Wang Super put forward the most valuable suggestions.

But He Jingping agrees with this sentence.

No one expected Lin Zijun's ball just now, but both he and He Jingping expressed their understanding after the shot.

In essence, it was nothing more than a fight, but Lin Zijun fought more fiercely.

But since it is a fight, there is still a problem with the success rate.

With Wang Chao returning the ball so accurately, if Lin Zijun can fight both balls successfully, then the game will probably be quite difficult.

But since he became one and committed suicide, everything is still normal.

Wang Chao got the right to serve and also sent an extremely precise short backspin.

Lin Zijun chose to return to the near center position.

Wang Chao directly responded by giving Lin Zijun a violent forehand exactly the same as before.

As a matter of fact, Lin Zijun was able to succeed in the violent challenge. Of course, his technique is good enough. On the other hand, it is also because he has undergone special strength training in the forehand position during the hard training of mixed doubles in the past few months. Hands can really pull the ball up.

But Wang Chao's strength increased faster than Lin Zijun's, so this violent challenge was more powerful, with stronger rotation and faster speed.

It's a pity it didn't go online...

1:2, Wang Chao rushed to commit suicide, and Lin Zijun regained the lead.

Wang Chao served again, still with a precise short backspin.

Lin Zijun still swings back a short short ball perfectly.

Wang Chao violently challenged again.

This time the challenge was successful.

But at this time, Lin Zijun came with the prestige of Hu Ke who had zero seals in the morning, and it was the time when he was in superb condition. Facing such a terrifying internal challenge from Wang Chao, he still reacted to it.

His lower body was hidden under the table. Just looking at his upper body, he almost "floated" out. In an instant, he had retreated at least three steps from the table, and abruptly caught up with the ball that had almost passed his body.

The speed he displayed at this moment can indeed be called the fastest "extreme speed" talent in history.

The ball was on the left side of his body, and it was impossible to pull it with the forehand, and the strength of the backhand was insufficient. At the critical moment, he directly held the racket with his arm and slashed down hard. The angle of the racket was 45 degrees. After passing the entire length of the racket, the ball turned in place, crossed an arc like an arch bridge, and floated back leisurely like this.

This is a very extreme and difficult side cut, which cuts out a super ball in an absolute sense.

All the spectators were amazed at this moment, because what they saw in their eyes was a ball that had fallen below the table. At a super long distance, Lin Zijun used a very reluctant posture to cut out an almost miracle. arc.

No professional player would catch the ball like that.

When encountering this kind of situation, even the coach will tell you: "Pick it, as long as you can pick it on the opposite table, it will be considered a success. As for the initiative, don't think too much, let's talk about it after you survive."

Lin Zijun's hand feeling is still a little bit off. He can play this kind of ball, on the one hand, because he has completely let go of his mind, so when he sees this ball, some unconstrained thoughts will pop up in his mind. If it happened to be theoretically possible, he couldn't help but try it.

On the other hand, it was because he was really in a state of being in full swing, his fighting spirit was like a rainbow, and he was full of strong desire to defeat Wang Chao.

The ball flew over flat and landed in the forehand area of ​​Wang Chao's table, neither close nor far away.

Everyone is waiting for Wang Chao to catch the ball and make a mistake to achieve this famous super ball scene.

But Wang Chao just moved steadily, stood still, charged with his forehand, and killed Lin Zijun with a single blow.

Maybe others will panic when they encounter super balls and cannot judge, but he himself is a person who often plays super balls, and he is too familiar with it.

Although Lin Zijun's side cut was extremely difficult, Wang Chao didn't really think about the quality of the cut ball.

It's just nice enough and bluffing enough.

As long as the judgment is accurate enough, bursting is a matter of course.

I can't say how fast this board is, at least it is definitely not as fast as Lin Zijun who has super speed, but the problem is that Lin Zijun almost used up all his control on the super ball just now.

2:2, Wang Chao tied the score.

So far in the game, both sides have served two balls, and each side has scored one point and lost one point in the serving round, which has created a faint tension of being evenly matched.

At this moment, the audience sat up straight, their eyes widened, and they waited excitedly for the upcoming battle.

Only Qin Huachang gave a sudden "Huh" at this moment, frowned and said, "That's not right."

He didn't go into detail what was wrong, but stopped there, letting the frustrated audience keep asking.

It's not that he was trying to be a joke, but because if the latter words are said, the audience will say that he deliberately pretended to be a sensationalist.

But in fact, he really thought this way: "If Lin Zijun only has this little thing, is it necessary for Wang Chao to change coaches before the battle?"

"Could it be... that kid really overestimated Lin Zijun?"

……

When the whole world thought that these two were evenly matched, Qin Huachang thought that Lin Zijun was not worthy of his name.

This is because of Wang Chao's two violent challenges.

The audience in the arena generally believed that Wang Chao was really fired by Lin Zijun's rushing attack, so they fought tit for tat, refused to give up half a step, and bet on one breath.

Rorskov and other coaches believed that Wang Chao didn't want to let Lin Zijun fight, and wanted to use counter-fights to regain the upper hand and destroy the opponent's momentum.

But Qin Huachang was better than them after all, what he saw was: Wang Chao was playing.

Yes, Wang Chao is playing.

The success rate of this kind of forced attack in pursuit of theoretical feasibility must be very low. Don’t think that one of two balls succeeds means a 50.00% success rate. In fact, this is just because the number of samples is too small.

If this kind of playing is really universally established, the sport of table tennis has already developed to the magical stage dominated by irrational balls. How can it be the same as it is now after decades?
Therefore, if Lin Zijun's style of play is put on the long scale of a whole round or even a whole game, it is not feasible. The outcome and specific content of the first two balls have no actual reference value, it is just luck.

But playing this way is undoubtedly very fun, and only Lin Zijun, who has just let his mind fly, can play it in a state of freedom.

After a few more days, Lin Zijun will gradually realize that there must be restraint in the freedom of the mind, otherwise it will go to extremes and become laissez-faire, without rules, and without rules.

True freedom of mind is actually to achieve a new balance in a broader and more macroscopic category, rather than to act recklessly.

Just like true personal freedom, it is not about killing and setting fire casually, but doing whatever you want under the premise that everyone abides by the law.

Wang Chao understood Lin Zijun's situation, and also saw through Lin Zijun's details. Perhaps Lin Zijun could still create difficulties for himself in terms of technique and speed, but his upper limit of cognition has been exposed, and Wang Chao has a bottom line in his heart. He also dared to play with his two serve rights.

After all, you dare to play without nuances, but I have nuances, why don't I dare?
Qin Huachang will never say this answer that makes outsiders laugh and cry, because it will destroy the mystery of the top professional players in the eyes of the audience.

At this time, Lin Zijun regained the right to serve.

He backspins short again.

Wang Chao made short moves.

Sure enough, Lin Zijun no longer fought, but chose to directly leave Wang Chao's forehand baseline.

The rotation of the ball is not strong, and the position is very positive. Obviously, he is asking Wang Chao to attack, just like he asked Hook to attack in the morning.

He originally wanted to give Wang Chao a bad start at the beginning, but obviously he couldn't do it, because after he finished fighting, Wang Chao returned him two fights.

Even the score is exactly the same, full of some kind of ridicule and ridicule.

So the foreplay ends here.

Next came the real bayonet hit.

Now, Lin Zijun wants to use the super speed he has just learned, plus the super push and block he inherited from Jiang Peirong and modified himself, to fight Wang Chao head-on.

In this regard, Wang Chao smiled, did not refuse, and rushed with a forehand without hesitation.
