Ping Pong Life

Chapter 401 This is Wushuang
Xiao Fei served the ball, this time he finally stopped serving the short backspin, but directly took the long one, stealing Wang Chao's backhand baseline.

He was not afraid of Wang Chao's direct attack.

This is not because he is really fearless of the world's number one double-sided loop ball offensive system, but because his forehand kill has a uniqueness that is different from any other professional player.

For other players, the main power of offense lies in speed, strength and spin strength. The attributes of the ball they play are actually relatively clear at a glance, so I mentioned it many times before. The inner ball stage is simpler and rougher, without so many changes.

But Xiao Fei's offense not only has excellent strength and spin, but also has its own attributes that are very difficult to judge. Therefore, when the opponent catches the ball from him, they must not only be able to dissolve the power and spin he exerted on the ball. , You must first determine what kind of power and what kind of spin he is giving the ball.

This is the real reason why Sun Tianlong commented that his big python turning over is unsolvable for newcomers.

Because of such outstanding characteristics, Xiao Fei is not afraid of being passive, because unlike others, he must be able to regain the initiative in rhythm, balance, strength, speed, rotation and other aspects in order to counterattack.

He just needs the opponent not to hit too hard and give him a chance to forcefully pull the ball.

This difficulty has been reduced by more than ten times.

For example, in the fifth ball just now, he found an opportunity when he was almost completely crushed by Wang Chao. Spin knocks the ball out of bounds.

As for the sixth ball just now, it was even more obvious at a glance that Wang Chao was still trying to break his boa constrictor head-on and turn around, but he caught the ball again and took a spin.

So now he directly steals long, asks Wang Chao to take the initiative to attack, guide the ball into a simple situation, and then look for opportunities to counter-pull by himself.

Old athletes are like this. They played too simple when they first debuted. Later, they learned to play the ball more and more complicated and finer. Later, they returned to the basics and started to play simple and direct balls. They gave up all the redundant links. Only hit seven inches.

As soon as he stole the long shot, Wang Chao directly counterattacked without any hesitation.

Xiao Fei pushed the ball back steadily.

Wang Chao drew again with his forehand.

Xiao Fei blocked again.

Wang Chao improved his strength and made a strong forehand burst.

Xiao Fei took a step back and rubbed the ball back steadily.

He is still waiting.

Wait for Wang Chao to use more force.

Because his boa constrictor also has obvious defects in turning over. He needs more space, longer depth, and needs his body to be fully movable to complete the entire large-scale movement.

Wang Chao seemed to have lost his mind at this moment, and directly rushed out of his fourth attack with greater strength, hitting Xiao Fei's forehand with a wide angle on the bottom line.

When the ball was shot, Cai Guodong frowned slightly.

In fact, he has already reserved a place for Wang Chao in the Olympic quota in his heart. As long as there are no major accidents in the next few months, this place will belong to Wang Chao, so he doesn't mind if Wang Chao loses this game, but He minded that Wang Chao showed some bad tendencies.

For example, now, Wang Chao, who has always been smart, is actually aiming at Xiao Fei's forehand and hitting consecutive bursts. This seems to be actively giving Xiao Fei a chance to counterattack, and it is more like a kind of feeding the ball in despair.

This is what Cai Guodong is quite disgusted with.

As a Huaping player, even if you are in a desperate situation, you must have a tenacious attitude and work hard to find opportunities until you lose completely.

"Could it be because you have played so smoothly since your debut, so you can't handle it when you encounter real difficulties?"

Cai Guodong was faintly worried: "It seems that it is impossible not to experience setbacks."

In the arena, Xiao Fei didn't wait any longer, because this opportunity was good enough.

He pulled with a strong forehand, and the big python turned over.

Wang Chao gritted his teeth, inhaled quickly, his pupils contracted at this moment, and stared at the oncoming ball again. At this moment, countless data and pictures flashed through his mind, and finally they were frozen into a group of numbers formed by intuition.

This is not some fantasy brain computer. Strictly speaking, what is formed in his mind is not a specific and clearly identifiable number itself, but a concept, a model that is gradually built from scratch. Since the beginning, he has seen the ball many times, and he will make a judgment every time he sees it, but every judgment will be biased, so he keeps fine-tuning, improving, and correcting, and he hopes to get the right one at a time. in conclusion.

He swung his arm hard again and pulled the ball back.

Still out of bounds, this time it was not out of bounds from the left or right, but directly pulled the ball too high and flew off the table head-on.

7:0, Xiao Fei continues to take the lead, and has already scored more than half of the points in this round.

But amid the hoarse cheers and roars of the audience, Sun Tianlong in the stands couldn't help but let out a "huh".

He is still a player, but only serves as a coach, so sometimes he is more sensitive to some specific details on the field than He Jingping, who is a pure coach.

Although Wang Chao kept losing, he noticed two differences.

First, Wang Chao only had the problem of judging the space position wrongly when he took this big python turn over at the beginning, and then every time he pulled the ball, although he failed to pull the ball successfully, he found the correct position.

Second, Wang Chao has actually successfully resolved the forward or reverse spin that Xiao Fei exerted on the ball this time, he just didn't grasp the strength well.

Others have never fought Xiao Fei before, so they don't know how amazing this adaptation speed is, but Sun Tianlong knows it.

Wang Chao's progress in this short half-round may seem insignificant, but it is the context that he and Xiao Fei only gradually grasped when they played head-to-head for more than ten times.

He subconsciously sat up straight, opened his eyes wide, and felt that his heart, which was originally strong enough, actually beat slightly faster at this moment.

He has personally experienced many Olympic games and won the Olympic championship. At that time, his heart never beat like this, because the coach kept telling him that athletes must maintain a stable state of mind on the field.

But today, in a mere ordinary station open, before even reaching the final, he actually felt the long-lost heartbeat and nervousness.

Because he suddenly had a strong expectation,

He also finally began to understand why Huaping coaches have so many heart patients, which has become an occupational disease for the coaching staff. He used to not understand that the coaches were also athletes before, and they should also have a stable heart. Why do you not need yourself as a coach? Is it easy to get emotional when playing a game?

But now he finally understood.

In fact, it was precisely because I had no way to do it myself that the entire battle situation was full of uncertainties that could not be controlled by one hand.

It is this kind of uncertainty that makes people worry about gains and losses, and makes people fascinated. The heartbeat can't help it, it's like the first love when you were young.

He was a little fascinated by this feeling.

He's starting to really feel what it's like to be a coach, and he likes it.

……

Xiao Fei served and continued to steal Wang Chao's backhand position.

Wang Chao attacked directly.

Xiao Fei blocked it.

Wang Chao pulled with a forehand.

Xiao Fei blocked it.

Wang Chao exploded with a forehand.

Xiao Fei was unstoppable, he took a step back and launched a strong counterattack, the big python turned over.

The world in Wang Chao's eyes slowed down again, and he saw the ball again.

But this time he found that he understood more things.

The movement of this ball has already appeared in his mind synchronously, but it is not flying in the void, but in a model full of data. He has seen that the ball that Xiao Fei hit this time is the same as every time he has done before. Similarities and differences of balls.

"Harder than the first hit."

"More topspin than second shot."

"It's very similar to the arc on the fourth shot, so it's positive side spin."

"The downward trajectory is more pronounced than the third trajectory."

"..."

This is Wang Chao's analysis method.

In fact, it is a stupid way.

Because he can't really get any exact numbers, he can only compare. He keeps every ball he has seen in his mind and compares it with the ball he has seen so far, so he can speculate on this ball. What exactly has changed.

The more he looked at, the more samples he compared, and the more accurate his final conclusion would be.

Although he has only hit the eighth ball now, he thinks it should be almost there.

Because of itself, he doesn't have to be so precise...

Wang Chao swung his arm and hit the ball. The slow motion in front of him collapsed again and returned to normal.

The ball made a dull impact on the rubber, and then turned around like flying, and stuck at the center line of Xiao Fei's backhand table.

At this moment, Sun Tianlong obviously felt his heart beating "boom".

With a tingling scalp, he realized: It's time to go on stage!
Wang Chao used the way of face-to-face pulling, and successfully turned Xiao Fei's big python over to the opposite table!

Cai Guodong's eyes widened, he almost jumped up from his seat, and he said uncontrollably, "Damn!"

Compared to the shock of these bigwigs, the audience was not so shocked, because they didn't know the gold content of this ball, and they didn't know what this scene represented.

They just saw that Wang Chao finally caught Xiao Fei's attack for the first time, so they all gave warm applause.

Wang Chao directly beat Xiao Fei to death.

In fact, after Xiao Fei finished turning over the big python, it was very difficult for him to quickly return to a new balance, because his range of motion was too large, and his killer move already contained a fatal flaw. This is his strongest point, but also his shortest point. It is a double-edged sword in an absolute sense.

So in fact, what Xiao Fei was really wary of was Wang Chao's pushing and blocking, because pushing and blocking had the opportunity to catch his ball, and he could hit a super fast return shot, but because of his style of play, Xiao Fei was afraid of precisely fast paced.

He uses an epee, and he pays attention to one-hit kills, but if you can block my power, then it's your turn. If your fast sword exceeds the speed at which I can swing the epee, then I will You will be killed with one blow.

——Probably that's what it means.

7:1, Wang Chao finally scored.

"A-Long..." He Jingping's voice trembled a little: "Does this mean..."

Sun Tianlong took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes."

He smiled and was very happy: "It seems that I guessed wrong."

He Jingping stroked his chest with one hand and nodded with lingering fear, but he still couldn't believe it, because he really didn't expect that even Sun Tianlong would misread the ball.

"But why?" he asked tremblingly.

Sun Tianlong was stunned, frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "Probably... this is... Wushuang, right?"

At the beginning of the year, Huaping Cai Guodong personally named Wang Chao’s talent, which shocked the table tennis world. Afterwards, there were many discussions among foreign associations. No one knew what Wushuang meant, and no one could tell why. Then Raulskov even publicly mocked: "Isn't he just a nimble and nuanced player? As for engaging in such gimmicks?"

At that time, Cai Guodong did not refute it. On the one hand, he was used to it and was too lazy to care about it. On the other hand, it was because even Cai Guodong himself did not know how to accurately comment on Wang Chao's talent.

But now everyone knows.

The so-called unparalleled is actually the meaning of unparalleled itself: there is no second in the world.

unique.

Unprecedented.

Never before.

I can do things that no one else can.

Even Sun Tianlong asserted that it was impossible.

I used the time of half a game to build a brand new model that Sun Tianlong needed more than a dozen games to build.

For the first time, I met Xiao Fei, the only one in history, and cracked his trick in 5 minutes.

This is probably the scariest trick in contemporary table tennis.

……

Wang Chao got the right to serve again and sent a short backspin.

Xiao Fei swayed short.

Wang Chao made short moves.

Xiao Fei backhanded the bottom line.

Wang Chao lifted the board directly.

Xiao Fei blocked it back.

Wang Chao received a forehand burst.

Xiao Fei's big python turned over.

Wang Chao skillfully took a step back from the stage, pulled steadily with his forehand, turned over and pulled this amazing python again, and landed on the bottom line in the center of the table on Xiao Fei's side.

This placement is not good, but when seeing this scene, many big shots who really understand the ball, such as Qin Huachang, couldn't help shouting the word "good".

This placement is really bad, but it tells some truths.

Wang Chao is afraid of the big python turning over, because he is still not sure whether he can judge accurately, so in order not to suffer from rotation, he will try his best to pull the ball to the center position, so as to have the greatest error tolerance rate.

If the ball finally reaches the sideline of the table on Xiao Fei's side, it means that Wang Chao still cannot completely and accurately judge Xiao Fei's ball path, but can roughly suppress Xiao Fei's attack.

But Wang Chao really pulled the ball to the center of the table, which shows that at least he judged the ball accurately.

And this ball is not a simple topspin ball, he has a very obvious side turn, and the arc is erratic visible to the naked eye.

But Wang Chao didn't score directly with this ball, because Xiao Fei was already on guard, he stepped forward and made a simple forehand burst.

Wang Chao firmly blocked it.

Xiao Fei hit with a forehand again.

Wang Chao took the initiative to push Xiao Fei's backhand position.

Xiao Fei dialed quickly with his backhand.

Wang Chao found an opportunity, and directly twisted a fastball with his backhand, which still crushed Xiao Fei's backhand.

Xiao Fei could only continue to dial quickly with his backhand, because he really wasn't used to exerting force from the backhand position.

He ran to the left corner of the table again, waiting to be overwhelmed by Wang Chao's backhand.

But this time, Wang Chao didn't hesitate at all, and directly hoisted the ball to the nearest point of the table on his right.

Xiao Fei tried his best to save the ball and sent the ball back to the table from the side.

Wang Chao hung the left side closer and successfully hanged Xiao Fei.

7:2, Wang Chao scored another point.

At this point in the game, the audience was still ignorant. They just thought that Wang Chao had finally found his hand, and began to go back and forth with Xiao Fei. They were sitting upright, or eating some snacks at hand. They felt that the appetizer was over, and they were ready to look forward to it. The ensuing fierce battle.

Zhu Zeshi, who was also sitting in the stands, sighed and shook his head regretfully, knowing that Xiao Fei's situation was over.

Although the so-called three-axes to open the door represent the ultimate strength, it also represents the ultimate lack of follow-up. When the three-axes are broken head-on, the fatal flaw in Xiao Fei's style of play will be exposed.

In the eyes of masters of tactics and techniques like Wang Chao, even the slightest flaw is fatal, let alone such a flaw like a tiankeng?

I think Sun Tianlong had a flaw in the backhand that was not a flaw at the beginning, and he was crushed to death by Wang Chao, let alone Xiao Fei now?

7:2 is not the beginning of the war, but the early end of the game.

So sometimes laymen are happier watching football than professionals, because they will be emotionally ups and downs with the ups and downs on the surface of the game. They watch the football immersively and watch the climaxes, but the real insiders just find it boring. , because as early as the first 5 minutes of the game, the ending of the next four and 10 minutes has been set.

"Wang Chao won."

In the live broadcast room, Qin Huachang also gave a direct conclusion: "Xiao Fei can't beat Wang Chao to death, so now it's Wang Chao's turn to beat Xiao Fei, but Xiao Fei's defense is not good enough."

"His rhythm is too slow, his footsteps are too slow, and his hitting range is too large. He can't press Wang Chao with his forehand, but he is crushed by Wang Chao with his backhand. The last person who was beaten to death in this way was Sun Tianlong. Now it is Xiao's turn. Fly."

Qin Huachang was a little emotional when he said this: "It's really time for the older generation of players to retire... These days, if the backhand doesn't have a kill, it's really impossible to compete in the World Series."

After saying this, he actually felt a little sad.

Sun Tianlong, Xiao Fei, and Fang Xiaobo, Yan Pingan, and Zou Zhengyu, who have already retired in fact, these people used to be so shining. In memory, they also caused cheers from the crowd, and their games once caused the coaches to have a heart attack. Incentives, but now they have been gradually eliminated by the times.

Sun Tianlong and Xiao Fei are the only two veterans in the Huaping first team who can still play, but Sun Tianlong is full of injuries and can only play in one Olympic Games at most, while Xiao Fei, as early as one or two years ago, has completely Lost desire to win.

This ball was probably Xiao Fei's last flashback-style fierce pursuit of victory, but in the end his dream was still shattered by a rising star like Wang Chao.

Thinking of it this way, Qin Huachang actually felt a bit cruel.

"A small silver coin is a small silver coin, so what if you lose a game? Anyway, your Olympic quota is a certainty."

"Can't Xiao Fei retire with a bang?"

"Aaron still has an Olympic Games to show his final glory, but Xiao Fei...he's done here."

"This is the first battle between Xiao Fei and Wang Chao in the international arena, but if there is no accident, it will also be the last battle."

"After today, Xiao Fei's three-handed axe will become an eternal legend in the table tennis world."

At this moment, even Brother Sanjiang was a little bit uneasy, and plagiarized a poem saying: Open the door and three axes make a perfect sound, and Xiao Damang will not be seen in the world.

(The integer in Chapter 400, a commemorative number, just ushered in the end of this battle. Personally, I am very satisfied with the writing. I hope you are also satisfied. Remember to vote when you are satisfied.)
