Ping Pong Life

Chapter 462 Luo Jiu's bold words and Dragon team's grasp
When the men's singles quarterfinals were released, the atmosphere became more and more tense, because everyone could see that the table tennis men's singles competition in this Olympic Games is very likely to be the highest quality table tennis event since its birth.

In the past, no one has really touched the ceiling of table tennis, but who are the people here this time?One and two are either sitting on the ceiling or kicking the ceiling with their feet.

Don't think that I'm just talking about the Big Three of Huaping. In fact, Hu Ke was able to touch the ceiling when he was crazy a year ago. Although Lin Zijun's comprehensive combat strength has not yet reached that level, he The single item of super speed has already pierced the ceiling, and it is truly unprecedented and unprecedented in history.

Fortunately, his speed limit is here. If it continues to develop, it will not be sports, but fantasy.

So the specific situation at this time is this.

In the first half, Luo Jiu faced Alur, and Sun Tianlong faced Pique.

In the second half, Wang Chao faced Bayer, and Lin Zijun faced Hu Ke.

There is no longer any priority, all games are the highlight, whether it is a tragic game, or a crushing game, or a suspense game, no matter what the game is, there are enough rich connotations and enough topics for fans Have a great time talking.

Speaking of this, the fans began to miss Qin Huachang again.

After all, half a year ago, they didn't have so many topics to talk about in a game.

At that time, they didn't know the characteristics of Luo Jiu's reverse raw rubber bombing technique, what kind of system Wang Chao's double-sided arc ball attack system was, and why Sun Tianlong hit everyone. To be able to win by chance, I don’t know what the absolute strength of Alur’s forehand means, why Pique’s backhand arc is more difficult to deal with than others, and what is the principle of Lin Zijun’s super speed defense mode, I don't know why Bayer can be the king of Europe for more than ten years.

It was Qin Huachang's day-to-day enlightenment that allowed them to really enter the profession and understand the subtle mutual generation and restraint and the complex and changeable technical and tactical games among the top table tennis players.

Qin Huachang is the master of the world.

"When will anchor Qin come out?"

"It is said that Sun Tianlong will broadcast live when he plays the final."

"Oh, then I support Sun Tianlong and hope he can beat Luo Jiu."

"My God, I actually like Luo Jiu better, because I'm practicing the backhand raw rubber bounce technique recently, that thing is really interesting... But in order to ensure the viewing effect of the final, I have to support Sun Tianlong .”

"Shouldn't you think about Sun Tianlong's opponent again? If the final is a crushing game, I think I will be depressed for at least a week."

"Haha, do you need to think about it? No need? Will there be accidents in the lower half?"

"If Wang Chao doesn't make it to the final, I'll live broadcast and eat shit."

"Hehe, do you really think Lin Zijun and Hu Ke are here to play? That's right, Hu Ke can't beat Luo Jiu, but anchor Qin once explained that it's because the king doesn't see the king, but Hu Ke may not be able to beat Luo Jiu." But Wang Chao."

"If you really want to compare strength on paper, anchor Qin also said that Hu Ke has a chance to beat Sun Tianlong."

"Upstairs are a group of fake fans. If you have carefully studied the explanation of anchor Qin, you should know that the person with the highest potential limit in the lower half is actually Lin Zijun."

"I don't care, European fans support the European king, and I will never admit defeat in Germany."

Since the debut of Qin Huachang as the anchor, there has been an extremely obvious change in the table tennis forums of various countries, that is, there are more people writing technical posts. In the past, only professional bigwigs would occasionally write technical posts on a whim, and get a lot of praise and a lot of rainbow farts. Rorscoff, for example, likes to do this kind of thing.

But now, basically individuals dare to post technical posts. As long as you spend [-] hours in Qin Huachang’s live broadcast room, you can definitely write a [-]-character long article by citing classics. If you can’t convince the other party, You only need to say "Anchor Qin once said", and you can stand on the moral high ground and kill all living beings in seconds.

Its meaning is somewhat similar to the "Confucius saying" of ancient scholars.

Therefore, the current table tennis forum actually has the meaning of bad money driving out good money. Although most of what Qin Huachang said is correct, under such a large number of crazy quotations and misinterpretations, all kinds of weird things Judgments began to appear and began to develop in the direction of demonization.

So Rorskoff completely gave up online comparisons, because as long as he posts now, there will be Qin Huachang's fans who will come to argue with him in a strange way, and often they can argue until he has nothing to say.

After all, everyone knows that Raulskov and Huaping have disagreements and disagreements.

After all, everyone knows that Raulskov's vision is not as good as that of Qin Huachang and He Jingping.

After all, everyone knows that a professional debater can't beat a civil debater, just as a professional champion of an international debate contest can't argue with a square dancing aunt who is good at personal attacks in the vegetable market.

So don’t you see that even Ye Hongye, the leader of the domestic forum, gave up writing articles and went to be a special guest for Big Brother?

In short, in such a "joyful" atmosphere, the men's singles 8 into 4 officially started on the morning of December 12.

The first half of the game was played first, with Luo Jiu and Aluer playing.

There is not much suspense in this game. Basically all fans agree that Luo Jiu will win, and the result is no surprise. Luo Jiu crushed Alur 4:0.

However, if we talk about the process of the game, we can still mention it a little bit.

As the only seedling in Africa, Alur is also a well-known inspirational player in the table tennis world. In fact, his overall skills are relatively rough. His biggest advantage lies in the absolute strength of his forehand, which is also an innate advantage of the black race.

It is said that the scientists of Sakura Country have done special research, and the results prove that the specific data of Alur's forehand limit force is 1.5 times that of Sisfield, about 2 times that of Lin Li, and about 3 times that of Fan Xiaodong.

This research is actually very interesting. On the one hand, he proved how terrifying it would be if Aluer's forehand burst with all his strength. On the other hand, he also indirectly compared Lin Li, Fan Xiaodong and Sith through the reference of Aluer. The absolute power difference between Field's three typical violent characters.

However, in fact, the absolute lethality displayed by these three people when using the killing board in actual combat is not directly proportional to the strength of their arms.

For example, the absolute strength of Fan Xiaodong's arm is actually only half of Sisfield's, but when they met in the Open, Fan Xiaodong beat Sisfield head-on with a backhand.

On the contrary, it was Lin Li who was stronger than Fan Xiaodong in absolute strength, and was beaten to death by Sisfield once.

However, during the Huaping team's routine assessment, Lin Li beat Fan Xiaodong to death with a forehand.

Therefore, it is not enough to have absolute strength alone. It is necessary to consider the thoroughness of force exertion, the proficiency of forehand and backhand force exertion, as well as the circumstances under which force can be exerted and under what circumstances it cannot be exerted.

Alur belongs to the kind who suffers from serious technical disadvantages.

The reason why he was able to be the nemesis of the German young player Qiu Shang in the past open games is because Qiu Shang's forehand candy bar is soft in the candy bar category, emphasizing skills more than power, but Qiu Shang uses the racket It also belongs to the type with weak friction and high accuracy of small balls in the table, which caused Qiu Shang's ball to be just not enough to kill Aluer, but once Aluer got reckless, it just happened to be able to penetrate Qiu Shang's defense .

Of course, to be able to grow up from the desert in Africa and reach the current height, Alur's talent attributes are almost full. In a sense, it is quite like an African hook.

It's just that when he met Luo Jiu, it really belonged to a mouse meeting a cat.

Luo Jiu's backhand bounce just happened to be able to penetrate Aluer's defense, and Luo Jiu's forehand skills were too rich, just to the extent that Aluer couldn't make a clear judgment at all, so these two fights, according to common sense, Luo Jiu Nine just needs to follow the tactics and tactics taught by He Jingping step by step, and without any additional tactics, they can crush Alur in a logical manner.

But Luo Jiu is not.

The current Luo Jiu belongs to the iron tree that blooms, and the dead tree is in spring. Once the old house catches fire, it will burn like crackling. If he doesn't vent a bit, he will really be suffocated.

So he doesn't play tricks with his forehand, and directly confronts Aluer head-on. If Aluer dares to charge, he dares to pull back. If he can't pull it, he will retreat. two steps.

Of course, if the opponent must hit me with a backhand, then I have no choice but to bounce back.

Alul is very powerful, but his speed is weak. After all, he is tall and big. He attacked Luo Jiu's backhand consecutively in the first round, but Luo Jiu's backhand bounced the way of pure speed. As a result, Alul He was dizzy from being bounced, and then realized, and started staring at Luo Jiu's forehand.

So the two started to fight forehands crazily. Luo Jiu couldn't fight, so he retreated crazily and hit each other.

Judging from the scene, it seems that Aluer is Huaping's player, because he is playing smarter, and Luo Jiu is a reckless guy.

But Luo Jiu also has his awesomeness. When he is frantically mobilized by Aluer, he will also counterattack. Often, a forced save that is close to desperation can even be cut by him in the midst of his busy schedule. Or the god-level Haidilaoyue, and the super balls produced in this way often exceed the tolerance of Aluer, and the final decision can be made.

So the two played like sparks, and the score climbed all the way, unexpectedly one after another, inextricable, far from the big score crushing and suspected shaving rounds that the audience imagined before the game.

11:8 in the first game, Luo Jiu won.

The second game was 11:9, and Luo Jiu won.

Luo Jiu won the third game at 11:7.

11:2 in the fourth game, Luo Jiu won.

It can be seen from the score that Luo Jiu still has a sense of proportion. He just wants to sway his sweat and passion wantonly on the field, but he has not yet reached the point of committing suicide with passion. You can still win after that.

This made Alur very depressed. Every game started with passion, struggled with confidence, and lost unwillingly.

After losing one game in three rounds, he realized that Luo Jiu, the idiot, was just teasing me.

So in the fourth game, Alur gave up resistance and started to fight with his eyes closed. In the end, the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and hit two good shots, avoiding the fate of being bald.

Coming down from the field, Luo Jiu was sweating profusely, his clothes were wet, but his expression was extremely comfortable, as if he had just finished some indescribable pair exercise in the stuffy dormitory on a hot day.

Oh, in fact, what he and Alur did can be regarded as a double sport in a sense.

Then there was the official interview. As the loser, Alur spoke first. He spoke in a very organized way, showing quite a good quality and IQ. He first admitted the gap between the two sides, then said that the game was very enjoyable, and finally thanked Luo Jiu for being willing to use this Fighting him in a unique way, let him taste the fun of the game.

These words had a hint of a run on them. The so-called "this way" actually meant that Luo Jiu used him as a guinea pig, and his attitude in the competition was not correct.

Luo Jiu didn't care. When it was his turn to accept the interview, he pretended not to understand Arul's subtext, and thanked him with a smile. Then, when the reporter asked him about his goals for the Olympics, he said without hesitation: "Of course it is. Win the championship."

Reporter Gonghuo: "What do you think of the strength of Sun Tianlong and Wang Chao?"

Luo Jiu said: "So-so, it's okay."

The reporter continued to fire: "How does it compare to you?"

"Well, I'm afraid of hurting each other's friendship by saying this." The 27-year-old man made a scissors-hand look that he thought was trendy but was outdated long ago, and sighed pretendingly: "Brother Long is too old. I'm too angry, my junior brother, I'm too young, I can only say that the future is promising, as for now, let me, who is in my prime, do my best to win this championship."

The reporter was stunned when he said this. He was habitually making fire, and he didn't expect to make such a big fire.

The director's camera scanned Wang Chao and Sun Tianlong at the right time, and found that both of them were laughing, and no one was angry. Obviously, they had long been used to Luo Jiu's nonsense.

However, there is a saying that the emperor is not in a hurry and eunuchs are in a hurry. After all, there is no shortage of people on the Internet. Within 5 minutes of the end of this interview, there were countless analysis posts on forums from various countries. Some people said that Wang Chao and Sun Tianlong were "smiling on the surface Scolding", some people are analyzing whether their smiles are wry smiles, ridicules or sneers, and some people directly broke the news, "the grievances and hatreds that have to be said in the Huaping team".

Of course, these are irrelevant things to the players.

In fact, Wang Chao was really happy at this time.

He liked the talkative senior brother when he first met Luo Jiu, and he didn't want his senior brother to turn into the pressure-ridden, bitter-suffering, bitter-hearted senior brother.

These days, Luo Jiu is nourished by love, and to be honest, he is a little dizzy. On the one hand, Wang Chao persuaded He Jingping to give Luo Jiu freedom, but on the other hand, he was actually a little bit confused.

But seeing today's scene and hearing Luo Jiu start talking nonsense in front of the world's media again, he knew that his favorite senior brother had returned.

The current Luo Jiu is indeed his best time.

When you meet the strongest opponent at the best time and have the most incisive battle, then no matter whether you win or lose, the senior brother should have no regrets.

The game is still going on.

Next is another game in the upper half, Sun Tianlong VS Pique.

This ball is a complete sling.

Even if Sun Tianlong relaxes his mind and starts to enjoy the game, he won't make strange moths like Luo Jiu. He just doesn't worry about injuries anymore, and he doesn't worry about whether he should save energy for the post-Olympic games Rui, he continued to fight, showing the real horror of the world's No.1 in front of the world.

Pique is a tragedy.

He was brilliant when he debuted, but then he went down all the way, losing to Wang Chao, Luo Jiu, Sun Tianlong, Hu Ke, and Lin Zijun.

It's nothing more than losing, and Wang Chao taught him his signature backhand arc a lot. This gave him a strong sense of crisis, and he chose to practice hard in retreat, hoping to unlock a new unique skill.

His retreat is actually meaningful, his backhand is indeed sharper, and his technical connection is also stronger. However, his progress cannot keep up with the progress of others.

During his retreat days, Wang Chao and Lin Zijun began to super-evolve, Sun Tianlong began to recuperate from illness, Luo Jiu began to gain momentum, and then was watered by love, and went berserk.

So he continued to be hanged and beaten after leaving the customs, and then retreated again.

Then came the World Cup. Pique led the game and was full of confidence. As a result, he played well. However, his teammates were not strong enough, and the World Cup was a team competition, so Pique returned in a defeat.

Then in the World Table Tennis Championships, he lost again as a matter of course.

Now the Olympic Games is the last chance of this year. He can enter the quarterfinals. It cannot be said that he has no results, but when he meets Sun Tianlong in the eighth round, he is still in this kind of Sun Tianlong who has not seen him in seven years. He is still desperate of.

He's really, really, really, it's been a long, long time since he made it to the semi-finals...

After 25 minutes, Pique was completely crushed by Sun Tianlong 4:0. This game was even worse than yesterday's Zhang Benkuang. Zhang Benkuang had four 11:1. Today he ate two zero eggs.

This can’t be blamed on Sun Tianlong, but Pique’s self-esteem is very strong. Sun Tianlong originally wanted to give up the ball at 10:0. As a result, Pique didn’t accept the move. Sun Tianlong wanted to wait for him to serve and pretend to attack himself. , As a result, Pique took the lead and chose to serve to commit suicide.

"I can die, but I can't die in your hands. I choose to commit suicide. This is the pride and pride of my veteran nobleman in Great England."

Naturally, there will be post-match interviews for this game.

In fact, men's singles has reached the current level, and it can be said that it has aroused the interest of all table tennis fans around the world. In the past year and a half, the development of table tennis has been too bizarre, whether it is the rise of Wang Chao and Lin Zijun, or the rise of Sun Tianlong. The return of the king, or Luo Jiu's technical transformation counterattack and Hu Ke's departure from Huaping to reshape the technical and tactical system, all have enough legendary color.

There is also Qin Huachang who has to be mentioned.

It can be said that the attention of table tennis around the world has actually increased by [-] percentage points. For a few countries such as Brazil, England, and Nigeria, it can even be said that the attention has increased several times.

This has led to the number of spectators in the table tennis event of this Olympic Games directly breaking the record high.

If possible, the ITTF even hopes that instead of conducting simple interviews after each game, it would be great to hold a press conference directly, ask questions for two hours first, and then invite experts to comment on the ball and hold a one-hour special lecture , the last is the fan debate time, allowing the participating athletes to speak freely...

Well, I can only say that the idea is good, but the Olympic Committee will never agree.

Sun Tianlong can be regarded as the player who has received the most interviews in Huaping, and he is also the player who answers the most official questions. His answers are watertight and he will never give the reporter a chance to make a fuss.

The reporter asked him if he was sure of winning the championship, and his answer was that I should be myself.

The reporter asked him who was more difficult to deal with, Luo Jiu or Wang Chao, and his answer was that I just need to be myself.

The reporter asked him if he wanted to express his ambitions to the fans. His answer was that I hope to keep the championship in Huaping.The reporter seemed to ask a lot, but finally found himself asking a lonely question.

So the interview ended, and the dragon team quietly exited, hiding their achievements and fame.

But in fact, he called Qin Huachang as soon as he left the stadium.

It was 10:20 a.m. local time in Mexico City, which was more than 11 p.m. in Huaguo. He knew that Qin Huachang should have fallen asleep, but he still made the call.

Because he was going to fight Luo Jiu tomorrow, and he was very likely to fight Wang Chao the day after tomorrow. These two people were too difficult to deal with. He was afraid that he would forget to make this call if he didn't have the mind to think about things other than the game.

"Teacher, I heard a message, do you want to broadcast my final live?" Sun Tianlong asked.

Qin Huachang was woken up from his sleep, and said "ah" in a hazy way: "That's right."

"You don't want to broadcast live." Sun Tianlong said.

"Ah?" Qin Huachang was taken aback, and suddenly woke up: "Why?"

"Because..." Sun Tianlong hesitated for a moment, and said honestly, "I'm not sure of winning the championship."

Both sides of the phone quieted down, and after about five seconds, Qin Huachang smiled softly on the other end: "Aaron, I know you too well, tell me the truth, what you say you are not sure about is exactly how sure you are." ?”

Sun Tianlong also showed a warm smile on the phone.

The teacher really understands him, just as he really understands the teacher. If it was someone else, he would never ask this question.

So he continued to speak honestly: "If you fight Luo Jiu, I'm [-]% sure, but if the final opponent is Wang Chao, I'm afraid I'm only [-]% sure, because Wang Chao showed something that surprised me today."

He paused, and said seriously: "[-]% certainty is far from enough."

If these words were heard by outsiders, they would probably think that he was in Versailles, deliberately pretending to be in front of his teacher, but the master and apprentice on both ends of the phone knew that these were all from the heart.

In the past so many years of getting along, they have always talked like this.

The grasp in Sun Tianlong's mind is different from other people's.

"Seventy percent is enough." Qin Huachang's rare tone softened: "I know you care about me, but you must understand my feelings, right... If you won the championship, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, I will never be able to see it with my own eyes. will be sorry."

Sun Tianlong was silent for a while, and said: "But if I didn't win the championship, but you saw me, I'm afraid you will..."

"Haha, I'm fine. Just don't worry." Qin Huachang laughed suddenly: "Are you underestimating me, your teacher? I'm no longer what I used to be. Now I've already looked away. It's fine if you win, It doesn't matter if you lose, isn't this meat all rotten in the pot? Anyway, it's all Huaping's gold medal, so what should I worry about?"

Sun Tianlong was worried, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Teacher, I insist."

Qin Huachang fell silent.

Keeping silent means persistence, which is also the familiar way of communication between the master and apprentice.

So after a few seconds, Sun Tianlong begged: "Just listen to me once."

Qin Huachang remained silent.

In the past countless master-student conversations, it was like this. When Qin Huachang insisted, Sun Tianlong would give in, and this time, it was no exception.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, Sun Tianlong sighed: "Okay."

He gritted his teeth and let out a deep breath on the phone: "In this case, teacher, I will definitely do my best to win."
