Ping Pong Life

Chapter 436 We are sitting on the high ceiling

The seventh match day of the World Table Tennis Championships.

08:30 AM local time.

The men's singles final has officially begun.

In Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away, Fan Xiaoxian was sitting alone in a room, staring intently at the big screen in front of him.

She is watching the game.

But she is not in Qin Huachang's live broadcast room, but in the live broadcast room of Budapest, Hungary's official channel.

Of course, she didn't have any objections to Qin Huachang, she just subconsciously resisted seeing Qin Huachang and listening to Qin Huachang's commentary patterns that were like spoilers and prophecies.

Because she really, really, really wanted Luo Jiu to win.

But it was strange, even though the whole world was saying that Luo Jiu had a better chance of winning, her sixth sense as a woman kept calling the police, warning her: Please prepare for the worst, Wang Chao will win.

Thanks to Luo Jiu's big mouth, she knew that when Qin Huachang was a coach, he fought secretly with Wang Chaoming and suffered a lot.

She also knew that Qin Huachang praised Wang Chao very much now, and praised Wang Chao more than once in his live broadcast room as Huaping's wisdom, potential, and technology.

So she was really afraid of watching herself, Qin Huachang suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, I already know the result of this game."

In the past, she liked Qin Huachang's words very much. She always felt that he was so handsome, and it also allowed half-hearted fans like her to really understand a game.

But today she was so afraid of what Qin Huachang said, she was so afraid that she didn't even dare to go to the live broadcast room.

She watched for herself, at least seeing the moment when the game was over.

Even if her Xiaojiu is going to lose, she also hopes that Xiaojiu really loses when the last ball hits the ground, instead of fatefully setting the ending many minutes in advance.

Of course, if Xiao Jiu wants to win, she also hopes to win as slowly as possible.

After all, Wang Chao is also his own person, and also a flower that needs to be cared for.

It is very quiet in Spade Q base today, because everyone has gone out to play.

Yes, there is a very, very important game today, and its importance can be ranked among the top three in the entire schedule of the Autumn Table Tennis Super League.

Today, Spade Q played against the Jiangcheng University team in a city derby.

In the past, there was no suspense in this game. The gap between the lineups of the two sides was huge, especially after Hook came to Jiangcheng University.

But today is an exception.

Luo Jiu, Hu Ke, Wang Chao, these top players and the main players of the team are all in Budapest, Hungary.

Even the substitute Ma Ang Xing was called up by the national team because of his good performance in recent months, and went to Budapest with the team to become a temporary honorable training partner.

Therefore, the only teammates that Jiangcheng University can produce today are retired national team veteran Wang Bo and Sandan Duan Changying. The last one is their second substitute, whose name is unknown.

The so-called unknown name means that this person has never had the opportunity to play a game in the past year, and he is definitely a rookie.

As for Spade q, Geng Shuai, Wuli and Tian Zhengguang would naturally play.

Tian Zhengguang naturally didn't have any chance of winning in the past, but if nothing happens today, he will play against Jiangcheng University's substitute, and he has a chance to score points.

And Wuli returned after half a month of crazy special training with Hu Ke, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. He has been able to crush Geng Shuai at will in internal training. He has been signed by Spade Q so far. The grade of normal main players.

In fact, a very strange phenomenon appeared in Wuli, even Wang Chao didn't notice it, and it was only discovered by Spades Q in the last few days, that is: the strength of Wuli will be synchronized with the change of daily training intensity change.

At the beginning of the year, Wuli had special training with Wang Chao. After the special training, he entered Spade Q. At that time, his strength had almost reached the level of a player in the Table Tennis Super League. He played a few spring games with the team, winning and losing, although There are more defeats and fewer victories, but in fact, it has combat effectiveness and is worth looking forward to.

But then Wang Chao went to the imperial capital, and his force was released. He could only practice with Geng Shuai Gaoming and others, so he practiced and practiced, but his strength declined again. He never won in the second half of the spring game.

And when the autumn competition resumed in August, Wuli also had a losing streak at the beginning. At that time, everyone didn't pay attention to it, and only thought that Wuli was probably like this.

It wasn't until Wang Chao came back and went to Hu Ke to practice with force. After a few days of practice, he came back. Like this?I still remember that he beat Geng Shuai in the same way at that time, but after losing too much in the Spring Split, he seemed to be on par with Geng Shuai again.

But now, after practicing with Hu Ke for a few days, he started beating Geng Shuai violently again.

Taking Geng Shuai as the unit of measurement, it can be seen that military power has regressed, but now it has improved.

Therefore, the talent of "Hundred Refining", the reason why it is perverted, also has a price. Martial power is really a spring, the harder it is pressed, the harder it bounces, and this spring cannot be placed for play, you put it for a long time It loses energy and has to be wound up all the time.

Well, in a sense, force is a "swordsman".

There is a six-hour time difference between Budapest, Hungary, and Huaguo. Therefore, the game played at 08:30 in the morning on the Hungarian side is actually at 02:30 in the afternoon on the Huaguo side. Today’s table tennis derby is actually the time of the imperial capital. It started at one o'clock in the afternoon.

So the Spade Q and Jiangcheng University team had actually fought an hour and a half ago, and Fan Xiaoxian, as the coach and team leader, seriously dereliction of duty today and did not go to the Sequoia Stadium with the team.

But no one blamed her.

Recently, with the rise of Luo Jiu and the gimmick of the battle between brothers and sisters has gradually become popular, many people in the industry have gradually learned the inside story about Luo Jiu, and the players of Spade Q have also learned about it after Geng Shuai's private science popularization this history.

So today Spade Q has no team leader, no off-court guidance, they go into battle shirtless and guide each other.

In the first match between Geng Shuai and Wang Bo, Gao Ming acted as an off-court coach temporarily.

The reason why he is Gao Ming is because the other people have dull personalities. Since everyone has zero vision, at least choosing someone who dares to speak loudly and applaud as a coach can boost morale.

The second round was to fight Duan Changying with force, and the off-court coach was Geng Shuai, because Geng Shuai was more lively than Gao Ming, and his cards were bigger.

In the third men's doubles match, Geng Shuai was still the off-court coach.

In the fourth game, Tian Zhengguang played Wang Bo, and the off-court coach was brilliant.

The reason why Gao Ming was replaced as a guide for this game was because Brother Geng had to warm up urgently, concentrate crazily, and prepare for the final fifth decisive battle.

Of course, this also means that everyone agrees that Tian Zhengguang will definitely lose to Wang Bo.

So in the last game, Geng Shuai played Jiangcheng University's second substitute.

Just talking about the formation of troops, it can be said that the Q of Spades somehow managed to do the best this time.

As for Fan Xiaoxian, he was actually answering the phone all the time.

"Sister Xian, let me report to you, Brother Geng lost the first match."

"Sister Xian, let me report to you again, what a surprise, the second match of force wiped out the opponent's national team pick, Changying!"

"Sister Xian, it's a super surprise, the third doubles match between Wuli and Tian Zhengguang actually won, can you believe it?"

The team members were very excited because they had already seen the dawn of victory today. They thought that Fan Xiaoxian must be sitting at home and caring about the competition field, so they took the trouble to make phone calls and report over and over again.

Little did she know that Fan Xiaoxian was going to be annoyed to death, she really didn't care about whether her team could win or not, she only cared about whether Luo Jiu could win the gold medal in the World Table Tennis Championships.

Although she is an amateur at watching football, as the coach of the table tennis super team, she definitely has first-hand information, so she knows how difficult it is for Luo Jiu to win the Grand Slam this year.

This year is the craziest year for Huaping.

People like Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong are super geniuses who come out once every ten years, but this year there are only two.

There is also the most terrifying Sun Tianlong in the world.

It can be said that, as a bystander, Fan Xiaoxian's scalp would tingle as long as he looked at the obstacles in front of Luo Jiu.

What's more, Luo Jiu is the person involved.

What's more, Luo Jiu couldn't afford to lose.

That man with a hippie smile every day, under his frivolous surface, how much pressure should be hidden?
Fan Xiaoxian called Luo Jiu yesterday and chatted with him about some messy things. He originally wanted to wish him a good performance and win the championship, but he immediately realized that this was actually putting pressure on him, so he swallowed the words Down.

Then she wanted to tell Luo Jiu, don't put so much pressure, it's okay to lose.

But she immediately realized that this was actually the invincible aura that Luo Jiu had managed to accumulate before the match, so she swallowed the words again.

She found that she didn't dare to speak casually, any wrong word would affect the cute and poor little man opposite, so in the end she just didn't mention a word about table tennis, bid farewell to Luo Jiu lightly, and hung up the phone .

Now is the last moment.

All calculations, hopes, worries, fears, and pressures must be gathered at this moment to accept the final test.

If he wins the championship today, the pressure on Luo Jiu will be reduced by half. Even if he loses in the Olympics, a gold medal in the World Table Tennis Championships is completely justified.

But if he loses today, Fan Xiaoxian is really afraid that Luo Jiu will be directly crushed...

She even thought about calling Wang Chao and begging him to release the water, but in the end she suppressed the urge.

She is a girl and doesn't understand boys' stubborn desire to win and inexplicable dignity sometimes, but she can guess that even if she calls, Wang Chao will definitely not answer.

That is a little boy who is more proud than his little Jiu in his bones.

She also guessed that even if Wang Chao agrees, Luo Jiu will definitely notice that Wang Chao is letting go, and will desperately ask the truth after the game, and then... Luo Jiu, who has never been angry with herself, may explode Unimaginable anger came.

So she couldn't do anything in the end, the only way left was to watch the ball.

……

The referee tosses a coin to indicate to both players to guess.

Wang Chao smiled and shook his head, telling Luo Jiu to come.

Luo Jiu also smiled, and said casually, "Words."

The last one came out was "Hua", and Wang Chao got the right to serve.

Just for this small detail, the audience has already started booing wildly.

Because this meme is really popular now, and as the creator of this meme, Wang Chao is about to personally prove the correctness of this meme.

God is only on the side of the weaker players.

Wang Chao got the right to serve, so God thinks Wang Chao is weak.

This is also in line with the speculation in the minds of most fans.

Wang Chao made a short backspin.

This is in line with the temperament of a peak duel. Starting from the most impeccable short backspin, the two sides compete for opportunities to attack based on their strength, and then rely on sufficiently strong attack and defense to determine the final outcome.

Everyone thought that Luo Jiu would play short.

But Luo Jiu took half a step forward, leaned forward against the table, and made a simple kick inside the table.

This board did not fully exert its strength, which seemed to be an understatement, but many knowledgeable audiences let out low exclamations.

They knew that the Super Luo racket in Luo Jiu's hands had very strong friction properties.

But for such an understatement, the pick was Wang Chao's impeccable short backspin.

Can this be beaten?

The ball was easily picked and hit.

Luo Jiu's expression was indifferent, as if this ball could not be taken for granted.

Wang Chao's expression was also indifferent, he just retreated half a step, moved a step sideways, and pulled the ball in a forehand circle again.

The arc is very small, close to a straight line, and the ball is fast. This ball falls into the eyes of most professional players, and they can easily draw a simple conclusion: the forward force is strong and the spin force is small, so the arc is small and the ball speed is high. quick.

Stronger professional players will see more detailed content: at the end of Wang Chao's action, there is a small movement of the racket's lateral displacement, so the ball actually has a right spin. Considering that its trajectory is too straight, then the right The strength of the spin is probably greater than the top spin.

If Luo Jiu simply treats it as weak topspin, then it is very likely that he will get a right spin.

This is a hidden trick.

But Luo Jiu's response was neither to resolve the rotation, nor to retreat to defuse the strength. He faced the ball without retreating half a step, and directly "slapped" and bounced hard with his backhand.

Many people let out low exclamations at this moment, because they felt unreasonable again.

It is obviously a spinning ball, but you bounce it directly?
Is this to use the inclination of the racket to resolve the spin on the ball?

But soon they know not.

Because Luo Jiu's backhand bounce was not only very fast, but also extremely extreme. He actually bounced the ball directly to the bottom line of Wang Chao's forehand table at a wide angle, and the landing point was almost on the sharp point of that corner.

This is definitely not the state that can be presented after eating and spinning.

It shouldn't be luck either.

It could only be that Luo Jiu had precisely controlled where the ball landed.

But the ball is obviously spinning very fast, and the raw rubber particles do not eat friction. How did Luo Jiu do it?
They can't figure it out.

Wang Chao and Luo Jiu remained indifferent, as if the consecutive two unreasonable shots were taken for granted.

Wang Chao moved sideways, stepped back, and pulled the ball hard with his forehand.

Luo Jiu also moved sideways, stepped back, and pulled the ball hard with his forehand.

This time there was no problem, and the two sides directly entered the stage of a forehand loop ball stalemate.

But what followed was not the multi-round stalemate that everyone expected.

Wang Chao stretched out his hand and poked it, making an abrupt side cut.

As if Luo Jiu had expected it, he took a step forward, swung his arm out, and brought his forehand quickly. The ball bounced up, and was just carried by the racket and flew out. As in existence, he still grasped the spatial position of the ball with great precision.

Then Wang Chao attacked with a forehand inside the platform.

Luo Jiu made a forehand pull.

Wang Chao stretched out his arm, as if he was about to hit the ball, but the racket didn't touch the ball, instead he shrank back following the direction of the ball's flight, forcing the ball to fly for a while longer before attacking again. .

Luo Jiu chose to take two steps back this time.

This is the furthest he has retreated so far.

With a low growl, he swung his forehand fiercely, and the ball exploded directly. Judging from his force posture, at least he used more than [-]% of his force.

Wang Chao also took two steps back, swung his forehand out, and then turned his whole body over, driving the ball to fly half a meter in mid-air before he let it go. At the last moment, the racket had an extremely obvious the lateral displacement.

This is obviously an authentic boa constrictor turned over.

Luo Jiu gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and stopped pulling the racket across her chest, trying to push the ball back.

He almost pushed back.

But the additional spin on the ball still exceeded his expectations, and eventually flew back along an almost parallel line, flew over the net, and flew to the farthest edge of the table. side.

1:0, Wang Chao scored the first point.

The audience applauded thunderously.

In fact, they didn't quite understand the many changes in the middle of the ball, but they could feel the faintly flowing atmosphere of tension, and they knew that there must be amazing things hidden in the details that they didn't understand, but now that people are on the scene, I can't solve my doubts, so I can only watch the commentary video of Huaping coach Qin Huachang afterwards.

"I hope the version with subtitles will come out soon." Many fans have such thoughts.

On the court, the two brothers and sisters had a clear line of sight at this moment.

On the field of competition, it is theoretically not recommended that the two sides of the competition have any information exchange, because this will not only affect the fairness of the competition, but also cause fluctuations in the mentality of the players.

But at this moment, both of them were very calm. Whether it was Wang Chao who won the game or Luo Jiu who lost the game, they both smiled slightly and nodded to each other in unison.

As a tribute.

It's just the first ball, winning or losing doesn't really matter.

What matters is that they've seen what the other has shown.

The reason why Wang Chao's short backspin serve can be picked directly is actually very simple, because it is not actually a short backspin.

Wang Chao's research on the superconductor racket has already entered the room at this time. When he defeated Bayer the day before yesterday, he used a fake short backspin and successfully deceived Bayer. Now he just wants to try Luo Jiu's eyesight again.

Facts proved that Luo Jiu was not Bayer, he saw through at a glance that the short backspin was actually only short, and there was no backspin.

He can definitely pick violently, but he is worried that Wang Chao will have a back move, so he chooses to pick lightly.

Then Wang Chao took the initiative to pull the forehand arc, and there was a small lateral displacement of the racket at the end, which looked like a simplified version of the big python turning over, but in fact, Luo Jiu also used this move when he hit Lin Zijun.

But it's still a feint, the ball doesn't actually have any spin.

If Luo Jiu chooses to pull the ball, it will be directly hit as an anti-aircraft gun and go out of bounds.

If Luo Jiu used the raw rubber side of the racket to press down and rotate at an angle, he would directly hit the net and commit suicide.

But Luo Jiu bounced perfectly, and the landing point was accurate to the limit, which proved that he once again saw through Wang Chao's intentions.

This is normal.

After all, it was two days ago that Wang Chao played Bayer. Luo Jiu had enough time to study the new playing style of Wang Chao's current racket by studying the video.

What's more, Luo Jiu himself can display the simplified version of the big python's turning over, how can he not see through other people's simplified version of the big python's turning over?

Xiao Fei's unique skill was originally claimed to be unmatched by anyone in the world, but when people like Wang Chao and Luo Jiu really put their heart into learning it, even if they can't learn the original version, they can at least learn a touch of charm. The real gap between genius and genius.

It seems to be just a ditch, but it is as deep as a moat.

Then the two sides stalemate for a round, in fact, they just want to test how strong the opponent's strength and rotation are.

Wang Chao took the initiative to cut sideways because the ball from the sidecut was known as the most floating ball in all table tennis techniques. He wanted to see if Luo Jiu could find the exact position of the ball.

Luo Jiu's response was to take it directly.

If it is against the pull, he needs to wait for the ball to bounce back to the highest point. For Luo Jiu, although this response is not wrong, it is too technical.

Since Wang Chao wanted to see it, he showed Wang Chao the best one.

So he took it fast and went directly to the dynamic mode. The arm arrived, the racket arrived, the ball just arrived, and everything was just right.

He was telling Wang Chao: "Not only can I see it, but I can see it more accurately than you imagined."

Wang Chao understood what he meant, so he chose to stop the rhythm.

This time, Luo Jiu really suffered a bit.

Because most of the athletes' rhythms are fixed, even for characters like the Dragons, when playing targeted tactics, they directly use one set of rhythms to change to another. Almost no one dares to constantly change the rhythm in a ball. If he really dared to do this, then most likely he messed up before the other party messed up.

But Wang Chao can really do this.

So this change in rhythm forced Luo Jiu to compromise and took two steps back.

His purpose of taking an extra step is clear: let the ball fly for a while.

No matter how the rhythm changes, as long as I allow enough time and depth, I can re-adapt.

However, this extra step back has a price after all. Even if Luo Jiu chooses to use explosive charge to exert pressure on Wang Chao, his strength is not his strong point after all. Although his explosive charge is fierce, it is not enough for Wang Chao to deal with it fully.

Wang Chao won the opportunity, the depth, and more time. He also took two steps away and released the big python to turn over.

The boa constrictor has unparalleled lethality, but it also has fatal flaws. It is slow, large, and too slow to restore. In the high-intensity duel between Wang Chao and Luo Jiu, it was originally difficult to have a chance, but because Wang Chao Chao found the opportunity through the card point, so he really took the initiative at this time.

Of course, Luo Jiu could continue to step back and choose to defend. He could block the big python from turning over, but in this way, the ball would be completely passive.

And, it's boring.

This is the first round of the game he has been looking forward to for a month. The younger brother is playing so much fun, how can I make it look hideous?

So Luo Jiu chose the most extreme method, he didn't want to defend, he wanted to fight back.

Since pulling the ball is no longer enough to resolve this move, then I will learn from Lin Zijun and hit the ball hard, turning it into a super fast back kick that you can't react to at all.

Luo Jiu thought so, and did the same thing, but in the end he made a mistake, and the ball was directly knocked off the table, losing the score.

But when the dust settled, both Wang Chao and Luo Jiu felt comfortable playing.

This is the real peak duel.

This is the opponent who can really create pressure.

Regardless of technique, reaction, judgment, and choice, the two sides are almost exactly the same.

They are equally proud and unyielding.

They have the same powerful comprehensive strength.

This is not the top of Mount Hua.

It's not the top of the Forbidden City either.

This is the ceiling of table tennis.

Sitting together on the high ceiling, they are about to start an ultimate duel that is difficult for others to understand, but it seems to them that their eyes are full of joy.

"Audience friends, audience friends, the old man is completely on fire!" Qin Huachang gulped down two mouthfuls of water in the live broadcast room: "There is too much to say about this ball, I must not have time to say it, but it doesn't matter, I can Say as much as you want, and when the game is completely over, I will give you a ball-by-ball replay."

When he slapped the table, Qin Zhenyu who was next to him jumped up: "I want to see how far these two little guys can fight!"
