Ping Pong Life

Chapter 431 The Massive Two-Way Heading

He Jingping knew very well that in the Olympic Games at the end of November this year, Sun Tianlong's biggest opponents were Luo Jiu and Wang Chao.

Lin Zijun is not qualified to be an opponent in the eyes of the Dragon Team, because Luo Jiu can't do Wang Chao's style of play with changing rhythms, but Sun Tianlong can perfectly reproduce it.

So in theory, as long as Sun Tianlong has no problems himself, Lin Zijun is a dish—unless he continues to evolve.

Therefore, Sun Tianlong should not give Luo Jiu any advice for any selfishness.

And at this moment, if Luo Jiu loses to Lin Zijun in this match, then Luo Jiu's mentality will probably collapse, and Sun Tianlong will lose one of the most terrifying opponents.

But a hero is a hero.

This kind of selfless mind cannot be pretended, every bit of detail will be inadvertently revealed from all aspects of life.

Lin Zijun steals the long serve.

Luo Jiu chose to lift the board directly.

Lin Zijun blocked it.

The two sides continued to argue. This time, they played a total of 42 rebounds. The audience went crazy watching, and finally Luo Jiu had the last laugh.

3: 5.

Luo Jiu is slowly trying to restrain his urges. There are many times when there are obviously more vicious ways to attack, but because this way may reveal flaws, he suppresses this urge.

With the ball in the forehand position, he will attack with the forehand, and with the ball in the backhand position, he will attack with the backhand. He will no longer force displacement, and he will never let himself run to a certain corner of the table.

He has been standing in the center of the table, moving slightly on both sides, and through the spread of his arms, he perfectly covers the entire table, ensuring that there are no obvious dead spots.

He does not take the initiative to exert force, and always keeps his ball in a state of "common strength but great changes".

In this case, all Lin Zijun can do is defend, and there is no way to borrow strength from himself.

Facts have proved that in this situation, Lin Zijun really has no good way to break the situation, all he can do is stalemate.

And after a stalemate of 42 rebounds, Luo Jiu finally won the ball, which fully shows that his stability is indeed much better than that of Lin Zijun.

In the world table tennis world, Lin Zijun's stability is very well received. He and Wang Chao are known as the most stable players among the younger generation.

But at this moment Luo Jiu understood that Lin Zijun was far worse than his junior brother.

As the so-called fire refines true gold, Lin Zijun's stability in the past was only because he had too strong personal ability, and his opponents were not strong enough to force him to make mistakes, nor did they have enough offensive strength to make Lin Zijun's skills fluctuate.

But under his own oppression, Lin Zijun couldn't bear it.

If one compares his junior brother Wang Chao to a rock, then Lin Zijun is an egg.

On the surface, everyone is hard, but the stone is hard from the inside to the outside, but as long as the hard shell of the egg is cracked, the inside will be in a mess.

Luo Jiu decided to continue replicating this style of play.

He likes this kind of multi-round game effect very much. He can feel that the inappropriate edges and corners on his body that occasionally appear during offense are being polished away bit by bit, and gradually become perfect.

He himself didn't expect that there were so many flaws hidden in the offensive routine that he was so proud of.

And Lin Zijun is like a magnifying glass, illuminating all his flaws.

Luo Jiu even vaguely hoped that he would lose a few more games, because every loss meant that Lin Zijun helped him pick out another loophole, giving him a chance to make up for it.

The audience was very surprised to find that the scores of the two sides were miraculously stabilized, as accurate as a fake match.

3: 6.

4: 6.

4: 7.

5: 7.

5: 8.

6: 8.

6: 9.

7: 9.

7: 10.

8: 10.

8: 11.

The first game went to the end without any surprises, and Luo Jiu lost by three points.

But during the intermission, the performances of the two players were completely opposite.

Lin Zijun, who won the competition, frowned and kept discussing with Jiang Peirong, as if they had many problems.

Luo Jiu, who lost the game, smiled and communicated with He Jingping, only a few words, and then rested quietly.

Soon the second game will come.

Judging from the scene, at least the fans can't see too many changes in details, it seems to be very similar to the first game.

The only difference was that this time Luo Jiu scored a point first and then lost a point.

Then, the scores of the two sides staggered again, showing the same precise state as the first game.

1: 0.

1: 1.

2: 1.

2: 2.

3: 2.

3: 3.

……

9: 9.

10: 9.

Until the score alternately climbed to 10:9, Luo Jiu led by one point.

The innings were so evenly played that many viewers had the illusion that the alternating trends would go on forever.

However, the score did not become 10:10 as a matter of course.

Because Luo Jiu suddenly stole a long serve this time.

Lin Zijun immediately chose to pull the ball over with a forehand loop.

He just can't kill people by attacking, but he doesn't shy away from attacking. This kind of stealing long balls, instead of using more error-prone ways to chip and rub, it is better to just pull them.

Lin Zijun waited for Luo Jiu to pull back, and then the two sides entered the normal offensive and defensive mode.

But this time Luo Jiu suddenly had an extremely violent burst.

He had been holding back his strength throughout the game today, and was afraid of giving Lin Zijun a chance to use his strength, but at this moment, he seemed to have gone crazy, desperately hitting the ball hard.

Lin Zijun was a little surprised, but his super fast reaction made him not flustered, and he immediately slammed the ball back.

It's just that this was still an accident after all, so his response was still a little bit late.

So his push was not pushed out at the first moment when the ball collided with the table, so the speed of the ball flying over was a little slower than the theoretical limit speed.

At the same time, because the ball bounces higher when pushing the ball, the height of the ball bouncing after pushing the ball is higher than the theoretical value.

Luo Jiu was already prepared.

He is not a strong player, but at least he is not weak in terms of strength, so when he is fully mentally prepared, he can still continue to play the board.

He kicked hard again, directly using [-]% of his strength.

This is a desperate board.

Lin Zijun became excited in an instant, and every cell in his body jumped uncontrollably. He finally saw such a powerful attack for the first time after playing this game for a long time.

He wants a perfect leverage.

He pushed the racket forward hard, trying to launch a super fast return ball that humans could not react to in theory.

But when the ball was pushed, it flew directly from the side of the racket.

Lin Zijun was in a daze at this moment.

He... ate a spin?

The referee blew the whistle, the second game ended, the score was 11:9, Luo Jiu pulled back a game.

When he got back to the baffle, Lin Zijun felt his head was buzzing, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"He played you a psychological battle." Jiang Peirong told Lin Zijun: "The last explosive charge just now is actually quite obvious, but you may have been too excited at the time and just wanted to fight back, and didn't pay attention to him at all. The details when pulling the ball...his last racket has a lateral displacement."

When Jiang Peirong said these words, he felt a little emotional.

In fact, Luo Jiu's last finishing move was somewhat familiar to him, it was the finishing move of Xiao Fei's signature boa constrictor turning over.

The boa constrictor turning over is not something ordinary people can learn, but the principle of the boa constrictor turning over is actually not complicated. The real essence of it is that Xiao Fei thought of a practical and feasible operation method, and combined this theoretical principle It was shown in actual combat.

Of course, the racket is also very important.

Wang Chao tried to turn over the python when he was holding the Super Luo, but the effect was very poor. It wasn't until he got his custom-made racket superconductor that he performed several very beautiful python turns in the match against Bayer just now.

Naturally, Luo Jiu would not be able to turn over a big python, but he had seen the video of Wang Chao using the super Luo racket to perform this trick. The side spin that comes out does not insist on others.

There is a huge difference in power between this little side spin and the original version of the big python turning over. As long as the opponent can judge it, it can be easily blocked.

But Lin Zijun just didn't notice.

Generally speaking, when staring at the ball in actual combat, you will only stare at the movement of the opponent's racket and wrist at the moment when the ball touches the racket, and then you will fully return to the ball, but Luo Jiu's last trick, It was necessary for Lin Zijun to look at him more.

Jiang Peirong's emotion is that he found that Huaping players' ability to learn and improve is too strong, and they are trying to improve themselves almost all the time.

As for himself, he actually lacked motivation in this regard, so when he was a player, his performance could only be said to be average. After training Lin Zijun, he was actually satisfied with Lin Zijun's strength when he debuted for a long time, and did not I feel that this kind of strength is enough, enough to help Bay Island win many medals.

Lin Zijun's second super-evolution was entirely due to the player's self-motivation, and had nothing to do with him as a coach.

So Jiang Peirong couldn't help but ask himself at this moment: "Wandao table tennis has never been able to develop. Is it the fault of the players or the fault of me, the head coach?"

Lin Zijun's introspection was more direct than his: "With my eyesight, I should have seen Luo Jiu's complete movement. The reason why I didn't pay attention was actually because I was too excited at that moment... When a person who can perfectly leverage his strength The ball suddenly appeared after I was expecting it for a long time, and I subconsciously ignored other things."

"So, is this a coincidence, or did Luo Jiu do it on purpose?"

……

"Of course it's a coincidence." Qin Huachang said with a smile in the live broadcast room: "Luo Jiu is a smart man, but he is not a small silver coin. He can't think of such a weird calculation method. He just tried to see if he could use violence. He broke the game head-on, anyway, he led by one point, and he was mentally prepared to fail the test, but he didn't expect to score directly."

But then Qin Huachang became a little excited again: "So, everyone, get ready, the third game may be very unexpected."

Qin Huachang understood the meaning of Luo Jiu's last ball.

In fact, it makes sense to turn defense into offense when playing Bayer with Wang Chao.

At the end of the second game, Luo Jiu realized that all the loopholes in his offense had been picked out, because Lin Zijun hadn't caught his new loopholes for a long time.

So he felt that Lin Zijun's use value in this aspect had disappeared, and he decided to enter his next stage.

That's right, for Luo Jiu, this game was the most important game before the final. Of course, what he had to solve was not just the problem of "checking for omissions and making up for vacancies".

What he really wanted to do was to take his actual combat power one step further and raise it to an unprecedented level.

This realm is not used to beat Wang Chao, but to beat Sun Tianlong.

Although he is playing in the World Table Tennis Championships, his eyes have already set his sights on the Olympic Games two months later.

There is still a chance to catch up with the World Table Tennis Championships two years later, but the next Olympic Games will definitely not be able to catch up.

The end of November this year is his last chance.

And Sun Tianlong is the ultimate opponent in his mind.

Lin Zijun was the sharpening stone for him to defeat Wang Chao.

Similarly, Wang Chao was also the whetstone for him to defeat Sun Tianlong.

All the opponents had been marked with definite value by Luo Jiu long before the start of the match.

……

At the beginning of the third game, Luo Jiu served with a short backspin.

Lin Zijun's short swing was a little random, because he played too long in the first two rounds, and now he has a little numbness, and he feels that all the foreplay is a bit useless.

So he swings the ball a little bit higher.

He doesn't care.

He knew that Luo Jiu would use a very suitable force to attack directly.

But this time Luo Jiu's approaching action was far more imposing than before, and the subsequent attack was extremely fierce, almost a violent attack.

The ball is very fast and very spiny.

Lin Zijun was surprised, but he was able to react.

At the same time, when such a fierce attack appeared, his body became uncontrollably excited again. He didn't need any prelude, and directly entered the state of super speed defense mode.

Everything in his eyes turned into slow motion.

He stepped back and pulled forehand.

The reason why he didn't attack directly was because the ball landed at a large angle on the bottom line of the backhand position, and after all, he had a slight pause because of an accident, so it was too late to attack.

But he didn't care, he took the ball quickly and waited for Luo Jiu's next board.

Luo Jiu didn't let him down. On the second board, he pulled the arc with his forehand. The shot was heavy, but the speed of the ball was not fast. forward.

The ball was spinning in the air so that it made one's scalp tingle, and it had turned to the point where it was a little fluttering, and the soft forward momentum also made it difficult for Lin Zijun to grasp the precise distance.

In a sense, this is indeed a good way to deal with Lin Zijun's super speed mode.

Lin Zijun's judgment and touch are top-notch, but after all, he has not reached the level of subtlety. Therefore, although he can react to a strong enough rotation, whether he can perfectly resolve it or not depends on his judgment, not the speed of reaction. .

Lin Zijun chose to push down the racket extremely and slammed forward.

The ball landed closer to Luo Jiu's backhand on the table.

In fact, Lin Zijun wanted to attack the central position, but his judgment on the rotation was still not accurate enough, so he took a little bit of rotation.

Of course, this is all within a reasonable margin of error.

Luo Jiu bounced backhand.

This bullet exploded with almost full force. In the eyes of the audience, Luo Jiu's racket seemed to have turned into a spring. It was suddenly released under the extremely compressed situation, so it flew out fiercely and hit the racket. The sound was clear and short, and it even seemed to hit a wooden floor without rubber.

This is a sign of full transparency.

How fast is the ball?It's a bit hard to catch with the naked eye.

But Lin Zijun still caught it.

His moving speed has reached the limit, and his arm speed is also at full speed, but he still has no time to catch the moment when the ball bounces off the table. Instead, he completes the landing when the ball bounces to the highest point, and then the racket goes horizontally. In front of you, use the strength of your body to press forward.

It was also at this moment that a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Since his debut, this is the first time he has encountered such a fast ball, which is so fast that he almost failed to keep up with his super speed.

The ball pressed past and just bounced off the table. Luo Jiu made another forehand, which was really frighteningly fast. Strictly speaking, before the ball landed on the table, Luo Jiu had already swung his arms, and when the ball just bounced off the table In an instant, Luo Jiu's racket just swept across the top of the ball, wrapped the ball in it perfectly, and smashed it back.

But even so, Lin Zijun was still able to keep up.

He forced himself to calm down and move steadily, trying to get the ball over.

But he ate the spin again, and the ball went off the right side of the racquet.

1:0, Luo Jiu scored.

Lin Zijun took a deep breath.

Although it was just a one-ball victory or defeat, he finally realized at this moment that something was wrong with this game.

Very wrong!
The two rounds just now were played for too long, in fact, Lin Zijun was a little slack, because he found that Luo Jiu really couldn't beat him to death.

Although he also knew that Luo Jiu hadn't exploded with all his strength, he still habitually believed that Luo Jiu's failure to explode with all his strength was because Luo Jiu had self-knowledge and knew that it was useless to explode with all his strength.

He thought that the style of play in the first two rounds was already the best strategy Luo Jiu could come up with against him.

If you must find a better strategy than this, then only Wang Chao's disgusting style of playing with the rhythm is left.

But now he suddenly felt a little unsure.

Because no matter it was the last ball of the second game or the first ball of the third game, Luo Jiu was bursting out with all his strength, and he didn't care whether he would use his strength to hit.

And Luo Jiu's violent forehand attack, a backhand bounce, and a forehand arc just now were so powerful that they were far beyond his expectations.

Most importantly, both goals were scored.

That is to say, Luo Jiu broke out with all his strength and attacked forcibly, but he could actually pierce himself?
That's right, Luo Jiu's ball speed is not as fast as Hook's, and his strength is not as good as Hooker's, but Luo Jiu's speed and strength are slightly inferior to Hooker's. With all kinds of skills, coupled with his reverse targeting of the opponent's psychology and catching habits, the lethality he really displayed is far better than Hook.

Lin Zijun suddenly remembered a fact: not long ago in the Portuguese Open, Luo Jiu had just blocked Hu Ke in the final. In that game, Luo Jiu played all-court attack, forcibly beating such a domineering player as Hu Ke defensive posture.

This in itself has already nakedly proved that Luo Jiu's attack power is indeed higher than that of Hu Ke.

Lin Zijun's mind was a little messed up.

"No, no, that can't be the case."

"Why did he keep fighting me for so long if he could get through me from the start?"

"He used the first two rounds to consume my physical and mental energy, and also paralyzed my vigilance. Without my own awareness, he had already consumed part of my fighting spirit and made me underestimate the enemy. Emotions, so a sudden outbreak at this time can be effective in one fell swoop."

"What the hell does he want to do?"

"Actually, it's easy to guess. He wanted to use this method to create a huge psychological gap in me, directly destroy my mentality, and then today's game will be over."

Lin Zijun's vigilance grew wildly, and there was a voice in his head that kept calling the police, which made his heart skip a beat. He squatted down again and again, straightened up again and again, and still couldn't assume a stable posture for catching the ball, until the referee blew his whistle to warn him Don't delay any longer, he finally made up his mind, raised his hand to signal, and used up his only chance to pause the game.

He needs to take a minute to calm down and reshape his mentality to meet Luo Jiu's stormy attack.

He was sure that as long as he returned to his original state, he would not be defeated and Luo Jiu's plot would not succeed.

He didn't know, he guessed wrong.

His thinking has always been limited to "Luo Jiu wants to win me", but he doesn't know that Luo Jiu is not thinking about winning or losing from the beginning to the end.

Of course, Luo Jiu didn't want to mess with his mentality.

In fact, Luo Jiu didn't intend to sneak attack.

He just wanted to use his attack power to punch Lin Zijun very seriously and sincerely.

If you can't get through, then continue to increase the intensity until you get through.

If you can't get through in the end, then you might as well just be eliminated here.

——In a sense, the two disciples under He Jingping have exactly the same stubbornness. They have nerves as stable as steel, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, they steadily carried out their goals in the World Table Tennis Championships. Push ahead with plans for a massive, epic two-way rush.

If you can't meet at the peak when you are the strongest, then this meeting is meaningless.

Yes, that's how willful it is.

Therefore, Lin Zijun is still just a whetstone, but this whetstone actually has two sides.

On the front, it is used to wear off Luo Jiu's untimely offensive bad habits.

On the other hand, it was to hone Luo Jiu's not-so-violent attack power to the point of being invincible.

So what's interesting is that Lin Zijun guessed Luo Jiu's mind wrongly, but guessed Luo Jiu's next plan correctly, and he chose to pause and go back to adjust his mentality, wanting to use his best state to meet Luo Jiu's next stormy storm. To really attack, this is actually what Luo Jiu wanted.

(Well, I didn't expect that I didn't finish writing this game today, so let's make a notice in advance, this game will definitely be finished tomorrow, plus there will be some short-written games in the follow-up, and the final will start the day after tomorrow, um, that's it, Finally, there is the eternal vote-seeking part.)
