Ping Pong Life

Chapter 422 Absolutely Fair
According to the usual practice, the opening match of a major event must be eye-catching, and because the mixed doubles ranks at the top of all competitions, the organizers undoubtedly selected the opening match between Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan.

The World Table Tennis Championships was held in Budapest, Hungary. The opponent of the Tang Dynasty team was a pair from Hungary. Although the strengths of the two sides were very different, at least the Hungarian team got more support from the fans under the host’s status. The sound of cheers can be regarded as barely adding a little bit of confrontation to this one-sided game.

Everyone felt that the ball must be won 4:0.

But in the end, the game lasted a full 57 minutes, and the Tang Dynasty team only won 4:2.

The Hungarian pair is a new partner and has not participated in any open tournaments before. In fact, the Hungarian Table Tennis Association has been arguing about whether to form a mixed doubles partner since March. There was no way of thinking, and everyone was at a loss.

It dragged on until June this year, when Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan won the mixed doubles championship in Malaysia and the Tang Dynasty team became famous in the first battle. The Hungarian Table Tennis Association finally decided to form a mixed doubles because they felt that they had understood what mixed doubles were. It's the same thing, and then you just need to copy the homework according to the method provided by Huaping.

However, they did not sign up for the competition in July and August. The reason was that the players themselves lacked confidence and felt that they were no match for the powerful teams in the world. They hoped to train quietly and then come to the World Table Tennis Championships for sneak attacks. Not high, as long as they can win two rounds, no, even if they only win one round, it can be regarded as living up to the expectations of domestic fans.

However, their luck in the draw was not good, and they directly drew the world champion combination in the first game.

So last night, the pair of players was desperate. They practiced late into the night, discussed into the middle of the night, and tossed and turned until the wee hours of the morning. They always focused on one question: How to ensure that they can score in every round and not have their heads shaved?

It's just that in the end they didn't think of an effective way.

So today they came with a tragic mood to die. Before going to the field, the partners finally confirmed the principles of today's game: Go up and fight hard, fight to the death, you can consider catching the ball and flopping, nothing else, just In order to prove that I really worked hard, so that even if I lose badly, I won't be criticized too badly by domestic fans. After all, I have shown my attitude, and it is not shameful to lose to Huaping.

They never expected that they would have a brilliant record of 4:2 in this game. Although they lost, they were the heroes of the Hungarian Table Tennis Association. After the game, the two of them Hugging each other, with tears in their eyes, the male player took off his jersey and threw it on the stands, then ran around the field with his arms up and his arms up. Those who didn't know thought he had won.

But the fans at the scene really gave face.

Didn't you hear the Hungarian fans in the stands cheering like crazy?It was as if he had won the mixed doubles championship.

This is understandable. If one day Huaguo football scores two goals for the Brazil team in the world competition, the whole country will probably be able to celebrate.

In short, after the game, the fishing boats outside have a tendency to fry the pot.

Not because of how well the Hungarian team played, but because the Tang Dynasty team did play a bit poorly.

To be exact, it was Wang Chao who beat like a piece of shit.

Throughout the game, he basically didn't attack much. He kept chopping, swinging, skimming, rubbing, and cutting the ball, as if he suddenly forgot that there is a kind of spin called topspin. Work hard, but the problem is that no matter how strong he is, he is not a god after all. If he wants to score, he still needs to rely on offense after all.

So the result of such a fight is that although he has successfully scored a lot of points for his flower work, he is often directly kicked by the opponent and slapped to death.

Don't forget, European players generally have good stalemate ability in COSCO and Taiwan, and the Hungarian male players in the pair he faced happened to have a brute force. It's just a call to the board, it doesn't matter whether you can hit it or not.

This is also reasonable. After all, the goal of the Hungarian team is to score at least one point in each game. They have long made up their minds to fight the whole game.

Therefore, even though the success rate of this kind of fighting is not high, because Wang Chao gave too many opportunities, the Hungarian team still played some beautiful attacks.

In the second half of the game, Wang Chao still didn't attack, but Tang Yuanyuan started to attack, directly fighting the opposite male player as a female player. Even though she was born with supernatural power, she was a girl after all. Still can't beat the opponent.

So it was ugly to win this game. The reason why we didn't capsize in the gutter in the end was just because the opponent was far behind us in terms of technology and cooperation.

When the Tang Dynasty team finished playing this game, the outside world simply suspected that there was something big going on inside Huaping.

But then Huaping proved otherwise with practical actions, because the second pair of mixed doubles players Wang Yu and Gao Mingyuan's "Pluto combination" played in the third round of the morning match, and they chopped off the English Table Tennis Association with a clean 4:0. A pair of new partners has just been formed. This pair of partners is actually not weak. The male player is England's current ace player Pique.

There was not much suspense in the next game, because of the rules of the lottery, the first day of the game was basically all strong teams meeting weak teams, such as the Sakura Country combination, the Bay Island combination, and the Jindalai combination. It is impossible for the top-ranked teams to meet each other. The reason why the England team met the Pluto team in the first round is actually because neither of these two teams has a world ranking. Although they are not weak, they are not seeds. Of course, they can be randomly assigned. It can only be said that it is a bad fate.

That afternoon, the Tang Dynasty team fought again, against old acquaintances: Kazik and Lilith from the beautiful country.

The level of table tennis in the beautiful country is not high or low. Compared with Europe, it is naturally inferior, but in North America Nagada is a tall man among short men. Kazik is the first brother in North America, and Lilith She is the No. 6 sister in North America. The two partners achieved good results in the Open Championships in June and July this year. Then they cross-matched with the Tang Dynasty in August, but they didn't get anything.

But this time the cross-matching is still of great help to the Beautiful National Table Tennis Association. Kazik's side has played soy sauce, but Wang Chao's side has given Lilith all the money. But after going back, Lilith summed up and sorted out the valuable experience of these mixed doubles, consulted with Kazik in detail, and improved a little bit. Now, strictly speaking, this pair of combination is about to reach the world-class level, at least, enough Fight against Deutschland's Heathfeld and Sors.

Having said so much, I don't want to say how strong the beautiful country group is, but to say that they are much stronger than the Hungarian group.

Therefore, the outside world's speculation about this game is very outrageous. Some people say that the Tang Dynasty team will definitely win 4:0.

Some people also said that the Tang Dynasty team might lose. The reason is that the Tang Dynasty team played so hard against Hungary in the morning, and the beautiful country team is much stronger than Hungary.

On the surface, everyone is right, but there is actually only one fundamental question: why did Wang Chao become like this?
The outside world must not understand this problem. The only reason everyone can think of is that Wang Chao is not used to his new racket, but even if he is not used to it, it will not be so outrageous, right?If you are really not used to it, just continue to use Super Luo, why bother to force it?Do you think the World Table Tennis Championships are your training ground?

In short, it is confusing and confusing.

The world has developed to a very diverse level, and it can be said that it affects the whole body. The Tang Dynasty team just accidentally won an ugly game in the morning, but the result directly leveraged a large number of underground markets in Southeast Asia and Europe.

Why?

Because in the first few rounds of the mixed doubles, they didn’t plan to open the Tang Dynasty combination at all. They felt that the Tang Dynasty combination was too strong. They used to win the championship all the time. Now they are playing against weak teams. Charity is no different.

However, Tang Dynasty's performance was too ugly in the morning, which caused the dealers to work overtime temporarily and start the market in an emergency. Because the game was too difficult to guess, they tried their best to set a suitable odds. In the end, different dealers opened The handicap is also full of strange things. Although most of the handicap still offers ultra-low odds for the Tang Dynasty combination, there are also some top players who do the opposite and directly offer up to 2.8 odds for the Tang Dynasty combination. The rate has attracted countless capital inflows, and it is clear that this is the game in this life. If you win financial freedom, you will lose money and run away.

The game was very difficult. Wang Chao's performance seemed to be better than in the morning, but not much better. He still did various tricks and tried to play a few offenses, but his efficiency was mediocre, as if he had failed. After more than 50 minutes, the Tang Dynasty team won 4:2 and advanced to the next round with difficulty.

Wang Chao's state became a hot topic again, and a large number of media from various countries tried to interview Huaping. However, Cai Guodong issued a gag order, no matter the coach or the player, he was not allowed to make any comments on Wang Chao's performance.

This attitude of guarding against death makes media from all walks of life even more excited, because they are too familiar with this rhythm. Whether it is financial news, gossip news, sports news or news from other walks of life, generally speaking, when the parties begin to refuse interviews, it is internal When something goes wrong.

"So, is there really something wrong with Wang Chao?"

"It was fine during the through race, so what could go wrong in just a few days?"

"The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that he was injured during the closed training camp at the end, but I observed two games carefully. Although he played badly, he didn't show any signs of injury."

"Could it be that Wang Chao had a conflict with the coaching staff, so he deliberately broke the jar? Or is it that Wang Chao plans to change his nationality and go abroad to play?"

The media were very excited, but the inside of Huaping was very quiet.

Of course, Cai Guodong's gag order was not because of internal problems, but because he knew what Wang Chao was doing. He didn't want to disrupt Wang Chao's rhythm, and he didn't allow others to disrupt Wang Chao's rhythm.

Just as he allowed Luo Jiu to participate in the Portuguese Open for the first time last month, it was also because he did not want to disrupt Luo Jiu's rhythm.

Everyone in Huaping can see clearly that this World Table Tennis Championships, even if there are many masters, even if there are many contestants, but looking at the essence through the complicated phenomena, it is nothing more than a pair of Wang Chao and Luo Jiu. It was just the first public duel between the seniors.

In fact, ever since he came to Budapest, He Jingping, the coach, rarely communicated with the two disciples, just because he was afraid of destroying the subtle atmosphere between the two.

Both Wang Chao and Luo Jiu are extremely smart people, and the smarter they are, the less they rely on the coach. In the matchup of the World Table Tennis Championships, they agreed that the coach is an external force, and once it intervenes, it will cause unfairness , so they would rather not have it.

They want to decide the winner in front of the whole world under absolutely fair conditions.

(Brothers, please allow me to report excitedly. I thought it was impossible for this book to have a leader, but I finally got my first leader today. Thanks to the "Wannian Bookworm 1" boss! Haha, by the way I also thank the boss "Haiziyuan" who has tipped me many times for the reward of 1500 coins.)
