Mexico city.

Olympic Stadium.

Table tennis men's singles final.

first round.

The score is 5:2.

Sun Tianlong began to work hard.

This is a moment that the entire world table tennis world should remember.

This man once remained undefeated for a full 2539 days, creating an unprecedented record in the history of table tennis. In the past seven years, he has not participated in all the games. There have been many accidents in the handicap, but wherever he went, in all the games he participated in, he won all.

In the past seven years, he won a Grand Slam, also won the National Games championship, and achieved the Grand Slam.

In these seven years, he won the first World Cup Men's Singles Championship, the first World Cup Team Championship, the second World Cup Men's Singles Championship, the second World Cup Team Championship, the third World Cup Men's Singles Championship, and the third World Cup team champion.

In these seven years, he also won the first World Table Tennis Championships Men's Singles Championship and the second World Table Tennis Championships Men's Singles Championship.

He won a National Games championship earlier, so so far, the National Games men's singles champion known as "difficult than the Olympics" has won two gold medals.

In the past seven years, he has won most of the various single and team championships (if any) in short-lived competitions that have only been held once but have been submerged in the long river of history for various reasons.

He also found time to play doubles with Xiao Fei, and won the championships in all the matches they participated in, but because he played the support position in the men's doubles, and Xiao Fei's forehand kill was too unique and full of appreciation , so the world always thinks that Xiao Fei is the carry in the doubles. Only professional players know who is the carry of the world's number one men's doubles in Huaping from the beginning to the end.

Even earlier, due to some internal reasons such as attendance and rotation, he played as Liu Wen's mixed doubles partner, and he also won.

He was really, really, really, just one Olympic gold medal away from the double-lap Grand Slam.

He met Wang Chao today.

He lost all the challenges in the first half of the game. He competed with the opponent for strength, speed, rhythm, technique, mentality, and stability, but none of them won.

This is undoubtedly something that he himself and all the people in the industry have never thought of.

He didn't think of it himself, because he didn't think it made sense, but he could only force himself to accept the reality.

So Sun Tianlong began to work hard.

In the past seven years, he has put on a desperate posture many times. He never looks back because of his strength. His "desperation" is an attitude. He puts himself at the same height as the opponent, so as to ensure a stable mentality. Dare to fight, dare to fight, he treats the opponent's fight with fighting, and uses targeting to target the opponent. He is a generation of masters who take victory as the first priority in the arena, and have never had the slightest airs and arrogance.

But today he is desperately different from any other time in the past.

He really couldn't find a way to win.

……

Wang Chao served with short backspin.

Sun Tianlong stabbed directly and cut sideways near the platform.

It was unreasonable, but he succeeded.

Wang Chao has an astonishing reaction speed, and directly puts his body forward on the stage and hits with a forehand.

Sun Tianlong pulls directly horizontally, does not pull downspin, does not pull topspin, but pulls out a pure backspin.

This is also unreasonable.

In the amateur world, pure strong forward and backward spin has extremely good results for rookies, but in the professional world, everyone undoubtedly prefers top and bottom spin.

But Sun Tianlong didn't think about the reason anymore, he just wanted to combine all kinds of techniques that didn't conform to the ball theory, and tried to make this originally rigorous game into a chaotic battle with Wang Chao.

The ball drew a steep parabola on the vertical plane, but was slapped hard by Wang Chao.

Facing the explosive charge, Sun Tianlong's racket instead brushed horizontally under the small ball, and wiped out a long ball with a steeper arc than before but seriously high, and landed on the edge of the center of the table on Wang Chao's side.

The audience was exclaiming, wondering why Sun Tianlong made such an obvious mistake in catching the ball.

But Wang Chao was still as calm as a killer. He only looked at what kind of ball it was, and didn't analyze what happened to the person. In his eyes, the ball was raised high and came out, so he stepped back, turned sideways, and charged with all his strength.

Sun Tianlong chose to take five steps back, not to catch the ball, and let it fall to a height less than one meter from the ground, and then another super long-distance super ball. Change the rhythm, reduce the quality, and improve the mentality.

The so-called "lower quality" and "improve mentality" are not just for fun. There is indeed an indescribable traction of energy in professional games. When you cheer up, I will cheer up, and when you relax, I will also For example, in the final of the Huaguo Open in March this year, Luo Jiu forcibly broke Hook's mentality by serving consecutively and sweeping the net. The state has plummeted.

But Wang Chao was as stable as ever. Even though the ball that Sun Tianlong fished out of Haidilao had turned to the limit visible to the naked eye, and the trajectory had almost turned into a circular arc, he still found that point precisely, and the "pop" Another full blast.

Sun Tianlong is still five steps away and chooses to slice the ball from a long distance.

Wang Chao exploded on the third board.

Sun Tianlong was still five steps away, pulling the arc with all his strength with his forehand.

Wang Chaochao speeded hard at the diagonal, and easily killed Sun Tianlong who couldn't keep up.

The score became 6:2.

Sun Tianlong serves the ball, throws it high to the bottom line and spins long, fakes, but actually does not spin.

But the fake action was invalid, and Wang Chao directly raised the board with the forehand.

Sun Tianlong did not routinely pull the racket. He chose to push the racket forward, but it was not Lin Zijun's style of blocking, but simply pushing the ball, launching a very long baseline ball that did not spin.

Wang Chao raised the board again with his forehand.

Sun Tianlong took the backhand, hit the diagonal, and still hit the bottom line long ball.

Wang Chao kicked the board for the third time with his forehand.

Sun Tianlong used a turning technique that Wang Chao himself hadn't used for a long time, and sent the ball to the other side of the table, still at the bottom line.

Wang Chao pulled his backhand, retreated, and rushed with all his strength.

Sun Tianlong tried to forcefully cut the board, wanted to cut the side of the backhand closer, and wanted to hit the ball from the side.

But the ball wiped the net first, and then rolled directly off the net, without landing on the table, and went out of bounds on the side.

7: 2.

Sun Tianlong served the ball with a short backspin and directly served the forehand position.

Wang Chao was violently challenged on stage.

Sun Tianlong didn't have time to react and was beaten to death directly.

8: 2.

During this period of time, the scene showed a relatively quiet low-pressure state. A few minutes ago, when the score became 4:1, everyone thought that this was a very common small climax in the game, that is, one of the sides would score three times in a row. It's normal to reach five points. Usually there will be many small climaxes in a game. The scores of both players are always you jump and I jump. There are only a few who really climb one point after another.

But when the score changed from 5:1 to 8:2, everyone began to faintly realize that what just happened might not be a small climax.

Such a difference in points is very likely to be a reflection of the true strength of the players on both sides.

As for the fans watching the live broadcast outside the field, they learned the truth long before Qin Huachang fainted during the live broadcast, because Qin Huachang finally tried his best and forced to shout that sentence: "How can there be any match? This is a zero seal! "

These words are like a prophecy, unknown, Qin Huachang's fainting is more like a backlash after predicting the future, so although his words are in a peaceful age, there is a sense of weeping blood in every word.

As a result, even the audience in front of the screen fell into an unnatural silence.

They shouldn't have been able to understand the game after Qin Huachang broadcast it, but they did.

What I can't understand is the specific content, but what I can understand is some kind of strong emotion.

They saw the Dragons struggle.

The once invincible figure began to play all kinds of strange balls, and many of his responses would be laughed at by the audience even in a low-end professional game.

As for whether there is any higher purpose hidden in Sun Tianlong's response, everyone doesn't know, and they don't think it's important. They just need to know that Sun Tianlong is really helpless and desperate now.

It was because of desperation, because he couldn't find a way to break the game at all, that's why he started to "fight".

But his opponent is as calm as steel and as cold as ice and snow. No matter how crazy or insane Sun Tianlong is, he will never give up. Every ball is played so beautifully, cleanly and impeccably, like a new textbook. Open each page slowly in front of everyone.

There is metabolism in the world, the past and the present, the dragon team is a textbook that has been turned over by too many people, and finally it is time to be eliminated by history. Now, it is time to give the new players in the table tennis a new textbook. It is equally exciting, equally reasonable, and equally clear in every move.

We all know that new textbooks are only better than old ones.

Sun Tianlong played more and more unreasonably, but Wang Chao played more and more rationally, every move was seamless, and he did not give any chance for speculation.

"Snapped!"

8: 3.

"Snapped!"

9: 3.

"Snapped!"

10: 3.

"Snapped!"

10: 4.

"Snapped!"

11: 4.

The score of the first game was fixed here.

The struggle of the last few balls allowed Sun Tianlong to score two more points, but this was meaningless except to make the score look better. On the contrary, Sun Tianlong swooped again at the last moment to save the ball, and then landed heavily. The big one just slipped out a few inches on the highly frictional floor glue, and let out a muffled grunt.

The referee asked Sun Tianlong if he was okay. Sun Tianlong smiled and shook his head, sweat dripping from the tip of his hair. He showed the referee his freely moving body, indicating that he was fine.

But a scratched red bruise on the side of his right leg was clearly visible under the camera of the director.

During the game break, both sides sat in chairs drinking water, wiping sweat and thinking quietly, without any unnecessary movements.

Then the second round began, and Sun Tianlong continued to work hard.

He found that Wang Chao's rhythm could not be disrupted, so he started to do some even more unreasonable things.

He used forced displacement to attack Wang Chao's backhand short backspin.

Wang Chao cut the ball with a strong backspin, but he wanted to pull forward and loop the ball.

When Wang Chao pressed his backhand, he stepped back and forced to do the killing move of the dragon coming out of the water within a range that was not wide enough.

Wang Chao lashed out at a super-fast return ball. Even if he couldn't react, he was determined not to retreat. He just waved his arms instinctively to try to bet on the position of the ball.

His serve is very long, the spin is weak, and the power is very small, as if feeding the ball. No one knows what he wants to do, but Wang Chao can see that he wants to do what has been done for decades but has never been done. Things I've been to: serve the ball and rub the edge.

It is necessary to re-serve the tennis ball, but the edge ball can be scored directly.

But since he failed, Wang Chao was greeted with another round of blows like a storm. After all, all attempts have a price.

Sun Tianlong was not discouraged, he was still trying, since all the strange moves were ineffective, then he returned to the normal move, he and Wang Chao fought again, fighting for small balls.

Any athlete will inevitably have emotional ups and downs and ups and downs in a long and complete game. Wang Chao can beat Sun Tianlong when he is in the fullest state, but it does not mean that he can beat Sun Tianlong at any stage of the whole game. And this is the opportunity Sun Tianlong wants to find.

He was really... thinking, probing, and trying to find any possible theoretical flaws in Wang Chao from the beginning to the end. He has never played a ball negatively.

However, his temptation failed again, so he had to continue to pay the price.

So the score in the second game actually climbed faster than the first game.

1: 0.

2: 0.

3: 0.

4:0
4: 1.

4: 2.

5: 2.

6: 2.

7: 2.

7: 3.

Of course, Sun Tianlong can also play like the first half of the first game. In this case, although he will lose, the statistics will be much better, and the scenes will come and go. , which is actually a more dignified way to leave.

But he didn't allow himself to become such a player.

He has never wanted the demeanor and force of the world's best player. He always has the spirit of desperate Saburo on the field, and he only wants to win.

Using a more painful loss to bet on a possible win, for Sun Tianlong, this is not a multiple-choice question, but the only option.

Wang Chao successfully pushed him back to the middle stage again, and then began to move the ball from both sides. At this stage, for a master like them, there is almost no problem of not being able to snowball or penetrate the defense.

But Sun Tianlong is still trying his best to save the ball. He ran more frequently in this game and a half today, which is better than the full four games he played against Luo Jiushi in the semi-finals.

Wang Chao's ball control is too precise, so that as long as he falls into a slight disadvantage, he will immediately face endless transfers.

Originally, Wang Chao was pressing the backhand, but that was on the premise that Sun Tianlong was playing reasonable. Now that Sun Tianlong started to mess up his punches and took the initiative to reveal all kinds of big gaps, Wang Chao of course let go.

Because he also knew very well in his heart that in this state, Sun Tianlong's various responses were no longer acting, and they were no longer bait to be released.

Sun Tianlong really took the initiative to give up the stable state and turned himself into chaos.

Chaos is like chaos, and it is impossible to sort out the chaos, only to cut it quickly, so Wang Chao hit harder and harder, and his shots became heavier and heavier.

　Thanks for the rewards of "starting point writers are joking", "killers don't rely on luck", and "I am the only immortal".
