Ping Pong Life

Chapter 473 Top Sidecut and Top Judgment

Sun Tianlong served again, still with short backspin.

Wang Chao made short moves.

Sun Tianlong directly dialed the backhand quickly, and dialed the ball to Wang Chao's backhand bottom line at a wide angle.

There are two details to mention here.

The first is that Sun Tianlong did not choose to fight again.

Even if the first goal of the two sides was short after more than 20 boards, the weak winner was decided.

This is because Sun Tianlong knows how stable Wang Chao is. He will never think that he has a chance for the second ball just because he lost the first ball. Sun Tianlong is a very self-aware person. He only tries once. If you fail, you lose. If you try again, you may lose another point.

The biggest difference between him and other professional players is this, he will never waste any points, even if this is the second ball of the first game, and there are still a lot of opportunities in the future, he will never do this It is a very disadvantageous thing in terms of probability.

The second thing to note is that Wang Chao is left-handed, and Wang Chao's short swing is pressing Sun Tianlong's backhand position, so Sun Tianlong's quick dial is Wang Chao's backhand position, but in fact it is Wang Chao's side of the table. On the right side, that is to say, what the ball flies is not a diagonal line, but a straight line close to the edge of the table.

In a sense, this can actually be regarded as a changing line with increased difficulty. Both the difficulty of hitting the ball and the difficulty of receiving the ball increase simultaneously. Raising the basic difficulty can also be regarded as his respect and recognition for Wang Chao.

"You are such a formidable opponent, then of course we should fight with a higher baseline."

Sun Tianlong's backhand really didn't kill the board, so he simply gave up his strength and chose to speed up. After he tried to fight short and lost clearly, he wanted to try something else in the second ball.

Wang Chao's feet moved sideways at an extremely fast speed. He fell into position immediately, and twisted with a backhand. He also pursued speed instead of strength, and still crushed Sun Tianlong's backhand.

Sun Tianlong chose to pull backhand, half to borrow strength, half to exert strength, this is not an offensive kill, but this ball is actually easy to score, because the speed is fast, and it changes from a straight line to a diagonal, directly pulling it to Wang Chao. The bottom line of the hand is at a large angle.

Wang Chao moved laterally again, took the initiative to exert force, and pulled the forward loop ball hard with his forehand.

Sun Tianlong did not evade, and directly stabbed the racket out vertically. The side of the racket was tangent to the ball, which contained at least [-]% of Wang Chao's strength.

This is an inside cut.

At this moment, there was a low exclamation in the auditorium, and many audience members subconsciously covered their mouths.

Because Sun Tianlong's handling is very risky.

The difficulty of side cutting lies in the word "side". In essence, it uses the large enough inclination angle of the racket itself to force the flying ball to change its line, and the line change is extremely large. It is almost a 90-degree right-angle change at every turn. line, so once the side cut is successful, the sudden change of the ball will make the opponent unable to react most of the time.

This kind of reaction can't come, not entirely because the nerve reaction speed can't keep up, but because the brain can't turn around. Sometimes I feel that this conflicts with my basic cognition, so I can't make a reasonable response in the first place.

Takaki Nikubo, a player from Sakura Country known as the "No. 1 side cut in the world", can always use the side cut to play all kinds of incredible scenes, largely because the side cut technique itself has some Means "visual spectacle".

If it must be subdivided, the side cut of the far table is more similar to the chopping ball in essence. It pays attention to the accuracy of force and rotation. The biggest significance of side cut is to create a compound rotation that is more difficult to judge the direction.

But the side cut near the table is really an inch short and an inch dangerous. Using the most suicidal way of catching the ball, I cut out the most difficult for the opponent to deal with. Create huge difficulties for you, either I will die or you will die.

Sun Tianlong's ball is a typical side cut near the table, and it cuts a bursting ball that Wang Chao hit with at least seven points of strength.

Its difficulty is so great that it is completely comparable to the most classic scenes of famous side cuts in the career of "Little Prince of Side Cuts" Nikubo Xiaoxi.

This is also a technique that fans all over the world have hardly seen on Sun Tianlong.

Sun Tianlong really let go today. He really gave up too many things for the sake of stability in the past. He never dared to be a little presumptuous in an international competition, but at this moment, this game is already his career. Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he will officially retire after this game. Therefore, this is the last year of his burning passion, even if he burns to ashes, he will not hesitate.

He wants the world to see his true self.

"Now, do you see it?"

"I also know how to make side cuts, and maybe I'm not under Niwa Xiaoxi. I didn't use it before, just because I wanted to win in a more secure way."

Sun Tianlong made a successful side cut. The ball turned around abruptly and changed from a vertical flight to a nearly complete horizontal flight. It hit Wang Chao's side of the table at a large angle with the forehand, and flew out from the side of the table the next moment.

In 90.00% of [-] professional games, this can already be regarded as an unsolvable ball.

But Wang Chao did not give up.

At this moment, Wang Chao's body started unreservedly. His feet rubbed against the professional rubber floor, and even made a harsh "squeak" sound because of the excessive force. The ball flew more than a meter off the side of the table and intercepted it.

At this time, Wang Chao's lower body was already out of balance, but it was still too late to be fully in place. Only the upper body was in the "save" position, as if transformed into a football goalkeeper. In this way, he barely reached the ball, and his arm was thrown out violently. In this complex state where the body and arms are in motion at the same time, he managed to find the spatial position of the ball.

He seemed to want to hit the ball hard, but at the moment before the racket touched the ball, he abruptly changed his gesture, pressed his wrist down, and the racket turned from the side of the ball to the bottom of the ball, stabilizing the ball. The chipped back and chipped into a baseline long ball.

At this time, he couldn't care less about pressing Sun Tianlong's backhand position. The only thing he could guarantee was that the ball must be long enough and have a good backspin.

Because, he had to buy time for himself.

At that moment, almost all professional players would have a subconscious reaction to directly pulling the looping ball with a forehand. one thing.

"My opponent is Sun Tianlong."

"If I attack by force, it is actually unlikely to kill him."

"Then he'll move me."

"And I am at the edge of the right side of the table at this time, and my body is temporarily out of balance. It is impossible for me to deal with his large-angle transfer."

"So, I need time."

"I need the ball to go slower, not faster."

"If slowing down the ball wasn't enough, then I also needed the ball to be long enough."

"Because no matter how much he wants to get up to speed, he's at least waiting for the ball to go down first."

"So what I need is not a hard pull, but a slice as slow as possible and as long as possible."

These thoughts are cumbersome to say, but in fact they are just a flash, and Wang Chao made the most correct judgment.

He landed on the ground, took a step forward, regained his balance, then quickly moved sideways, and returned to the front of the table, almost one meter away from the table. Instead of trying to take a step forward, he squatted slightly on the spot, his legs fully tensed Tight, wait for Sun Tianlong to make a move.

From the corner of Sun Tianlong's eyes, he saw all the details of Wang Chao's movements. He was calm on the surface, but he was actually shocked in his heart.

He knew that Wang Chao had become faster when he watched the game yesterday, but it was only at this moment that he personally experienced how fast Wang Chao is now.

His side cut is meant to be a killer, because it is a new technology he has never used before, and he can see that Wang Chao is really defenseless, but even so, Wang Chao still catches up purely by impromptu reaction this ball.

But that's not the scariest part.

What is really frightening is that, under such circumstances, Wang Chao still has the energy to make a rigorous thought, and after making a judgment, he forcibly adjusted his hitting action, turning a forced loop shot into a cut. Bottom line long ball.

This is a bit of an exaggeration.

At that moment of lightning and flint, Sun Tianlong asked himself. If he was replaced by himself, when he suddenly encountered a huge accident, he might only be able to maintain the matter of "saving the ball" with all his attention, and he would have no time to think about unnecessary things. The speed can't keep up, and the intensity of thinking can't keep up.

So I will definitely pull the arc severely, and then be easily transferred to death by the opponent's large angle.

But Wang Chao was able to make adjustments at the last moment, which meant that his nerve reaction speed was really faster than his own.

Not only is he moving closer to Lin Zijun in terms of body movement speed, but also his reaction speed is also getting closer to Lin Zijun.

What kind of monster is this tmd?

Sun Tianlong finally chose to rub the ball over, and also rubbed a long ball from the bottom line.

He didn't even bother to take the initiative to attack with a forehand.

Because he had already seen Wang Chao put on a tight defensive posture in advance about one meter away from the table, it was meaningless for him to attack at this time.

In fact, this also represents Wang Chao's thinking speed and judgment accuracy.

If it is based on instinct, after a professional player hastily rescued a fatal ball, his first reaction must be to rush to the front of the table, because only in this way, he will not fall into the disadvantageous situation of "far table hits close table". Being attacked infinitely by the opponent until he is killed.

But Wang Chao chose to only adjust the horizontal position, not the vertical position. This was because he clearly judged at that time that he had no time to fully adjust it. If he had to force the adjustment, he would not be able to find the center of gravity immediately. Stay in shape.

Do you choose to move in place, or choose to find the center of gravity first?

Of course Wang Chao chose to find the center of gravity first.

Because his opponent is Sun Tianlong.

Sun Tianlong knows how to deal with opponents with an unstable center of gravity. With his powerful ball control ability, he will hit continuous body-chasing balls, chasing your body, continuing to destroy your balance, suppressing your hitting movements, and letting You can't even stretch your arms until you lose.

Therefore, Wang Chao made the right choice again.

Facing a lore ball, Wang Chao avoided all follow-up risks through three consecutive flawless on-the-spot judgments. Finally, Wang Chao brought the ball back to the starting point. The opponent has just experienced a round of fighting but the outcome is tied. At this time, they return to the table and start fighting again.

Only Qin Huachang in the live broadcast room let out another long breath. He felt a slight pain in his heart and had to grit his teeth and endure it for a long time before turning on the mic again. He didn't see the details of the last few rounds of the ball. What is it, I only saw the referee flip the scoreboard to 1:1.

Therefore, Sun Tianlong won the second ball after all.

But Qin Huachang wasn't half happy, he whispered into the microphone: "Sun Tianlong is going to lose this game."

He didn't talk much today, because he was exhausted, so he basically didn't talk nonsense, but at this moment, these words were really from his heart.

He really didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Wang Chao had really reached a height that was completely unimaginable before he retired.

He didn't understand how this was done.

He also remembered the words he once complained when he was the young coach who was full of vigor many, many years ago, when he was with Sun Tianlong, holding his breath, and cultivating desperately in a corner where no one was around: "If the world The table tennis world is full of super-geniuses like you who can beat most people just by talent, so what’s the point of ordinary players’ hard training for more than ten years?”

At the beginning, he was not convinced by this, so he would accompany Sun Tianlong to fight to the death. Later, Sun Tianlong was invincible, and he slapped all the super geniuses in the world. In those years, Qin Huachang sat on the sidelines as a guide and saw Sun Tianlong with his own eyes Tianlong beat all the super-geniuses with brilliant talents to despair, until they wept, a kind of evil-like pleasure surged in his heart.

"Yes, that's it. Beat them hard and kill them."

"Why do they only need to put in much less effort than ordinary people to reach heights that ordinary people can't imagine?"

"It's not fair."

"Since it's unfair, it must be smashed severely."

He really felt very relieved. That feeling was very similar to a child who was bullied when he grew up and came back to seek revenge from the bully.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully ordinary people.

But later, seeing this kind of scene a lot, Qin Huachang gradually let go of his mind, no longer attached to this point, and even thought about taking a super talented apprentice, and successfully found Fan Xiaodong.

But in the deepest part of his heart, the one he is most proud of has always been Sun Tianlong, because Sun Tianlong really shattered his complaints when he was young with practical actions. He has really achieved invincible hegemony with a body without the slightest special talent .

With Sun Tianlong here, Qin Huachang's faith is there.

Sun Tianlong is the only sustenance of Qin Huachang's feelings, ideas, obsessions and dreams in this life.

But at this moment, Qin Huachang felt that what he had insisted on for decades seemed to be shattered by that kid named Wang Chao on the screen.

The game has just started, and only two goals have passed, but Qin Huachang has read too many terrible truths from it.

On the first ball, Wang Chao proved that his touch and strength had surpassed Sun Tianlong.

In the second ball, Wang Chao proved that his moving speed and reaction speed were already above Sun Tianlong.

So what does he have to prove next?
Qin Huachang was a little distressed. He felt that his apprentice had really worked hard. He wanted to use this blank body to challenge these monsters who were born with various talents from the womb. He had worked hard for so many years. It proves that ordinary people can also defeat geniuses, but today, if he loses to Wang Chao, then his persistence for so many years seems to have become a joke.

It turns out that the reason why you have defeated so many geniuses is not because ordinary people can really defeat geniuses, but because what you have met is not a real genius...

How can this world be so fair to ordinary people?
