Ping Pong Life

Chapter 481 The Spoiler Fan Xiaodong
At the beginning of January, at the Peacock Country Open, Fan Xiaodong had a clean sheet in the first round of the race against the host country, Ghana Naka.

In the second round, Fan Xiaodong had a clean sheet against German teenager Qiu Shang.

It was again Fan Xiaodong's forehanded forehand to kill Alur, the Nigerian elder brother who has been in the limelight recently.

It's okay to stop here. After all, even though there are many contestants in this open competition, everyone knows that the only ones who can really grab the big points are those few people who are visible to the naked eye.

Although Fan Xiaodong is young, as the world's dominant Huaping player, everyone can accept that he can steal a few points in the Open.

But Fan Xiaodong didn't follow the rules, and beat Belarus' only remaining seed player Ochumelov 4:2 in the semi-final.

This battle was extremely violent. Ochumelov, as a well-known "all-table defensive player" among the older generation of traditional players, was abruptly beaten head-on by Fan Xiaodong. During the whole process, Fan Xiaodong didn't play smartly. Even a little stupid, he has been attacking difficulties, completely single-minded, and Sun Tianlong, who is sitting on the sidelines and guiding, frowns and expresses his dissatisfaction throughout the whole process.

But the biggest difference between Sun Tianlong and Qin Huachang is that he really hoped that the young players would lose a few more games, so he didn't call a timeout, nor did he temporarily correct Fan Xiaodong's mistakes. He wanted Fan Xiaodong to play in his own way. , if you lose in the end, you will just get a lesson in blood.

But the result is that Ochumelov, who has experienced 30 years of ups and downs and has a calm heart, was abruptly broken by the overly violent Fan Xiaodong...

So after Fan Xiaodong won, Sun Tianlong, the coach, had a complicated expression, not knowing whether he should be happy or not.

However, Fan Xiaodong's journey was not over yet. In the final, he met Bayer, the king of Europe, and defeated Bayer 4:2 again, winning his first Open championship in his career.

The whole process of this ball can be described in one sentence, which is called "beating the master to death with random punches", or "beating the reasonable to death with unreasonable ones".

Bayer is known as the little Sun Tianlong in Europe, and he followed the path of Sun Tianlong's reasoning, but after all, he is not as thorough as Sun Tianlong's reasoning, and Fan Xiaodong has been a training partner for the top3 men's table tennis every day for the half month of the Olympics, and his strength is better than last time. Playing in the World Series has made a lot of progress. It can be said that it has completely exceeded Bayer's psychological expectations, so in the end, Bayer became "a scholar who meets a soldier, and the reason is unclear." Like Ochumelov, three 40 The [-]-year-old man had his mentality blown up in the last game.

Of course, let's look at it objectively. Although Fan Xiaodong is violent and powerful, he has not yet reached the point where he can really continuously bomb international veterans. Luo Jiu was bullied too much, and his mentality was already on the verge of instability. Now that Wang Chao and Luo Jiu are not here, they are full of confidence, but they are deflated by the unexpected Fan Xiaodong. It became the last spark that detonated their emotions.

"What are you doing! It's unreasonable enough for you Huaping to produce Luo Jiu and Wang Chao in a row, but now you have Fan Xiaodong, who is so damn strong. Is this not giving you a way out?"

"Old man Cai Guodong, when you answered the call from our coach, did you already plan to dig a hole for me? I'm going to trick you, you deserve it! $#@%^&*(!"

——Well, that's probably the mentality.

It can be said that the entire experience of the Peacock Country Open was broken for the players of the Foreign Association. They happily divided the cake, but in the end they were rushed in by an unreasonable robber. One piece was not enough, and they ate more One piece was not enough, until I finished eating the most beautiful and sweetest piece, I burped contentedly and stopped.

But everyone is really starving to death...

In mid-January, the Platinum Tournament of the English Open resumed. Fan Xiaodong broke into it again, and "unfortunately" met the Swedish teenager Morad in the first round of the main match. In the end, the game was extremely tragic. Mora De's agility and cunning created huge troubles for Fan Xiaodong, who had a strong heart, and Sun Tianlong finally saw Fan Xiaodong's confusion and hesitation with satisfaction.

As a coach, Sun Tianlong is a little dark-hearted. He especially advocates setback education, and he refuses to take the initiative to give advice. He wants to see Fan Xiaodong fail.

I can only say that Brother Long is too loyal.

However, Fan Xiaodong is a man of great wisdom. This kid is somewhat similar to Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Choice, after he suffered consecutive heavy blows, he actually took the initiative to ask Sun Tianlong during the break: "Brother Long, is there any way to deal with him?"

Sun Tianlong was very helpless.

He is an open-minded person, so it's okay not to give pointers on purpose, but others have taken the initiative to ask questions, and it's really impossible for him to open his eyes and tell nonsense, so he can only sigh: "Yes."

Fan Xiaodong was very confused and didn't know why Brother Long sighed, but under Sun Tianlong's guidance, he quickly adjusted his strategy and tactics, regained his rhythm, and finally defeated Morad in the decisive game.

Morad was so angry that he beat his racket again. You must know that he has participated too few times this year, and his points are still far away. This score is enough to reach the semi-finals or the finals a little bit. He was eliminated by Bayer in the semi-finals in the Peacock Country Station. This result is completely acceptable to him, but this station was eliminated in the first round. If he didn't get a single point, then he had the final say, he might have to win the championship in the next round.

"Can I win the championship? No, I can't. I can fight Fan Xiaodong like this because Fan Xiaodong is inexperienced, but when I meet old guys like Bayer or Ochumelov, it is difficult to win for the time being. I Your best result should be reaching the final and then losing."

Morad is still very self-aware. He knew that he was out of action this year, so he felt ruthless at the time. He had to participate in the next stop, and he had to fight harder. He had to pull a few more people into the water, after all Crying alone is worse than crying alone. If there is a choice, he hopes that Lacisfeld or Wolfe will go into the water. After all, the internal orthodox dispute between Germany and Sweden in Europe is still in the ascendant.

Fan Xiaodong, on the other hand, took advantage of the momentum of defeating Morad and continued to rush forward. He defeated Kazik, the first brother of the beautiful country in the second round, defeated the veteran Weng Chunting in the third round, and met Bayer again in the semi-finals.

Bayer was very confused, because the veteran's strength had been finalized, and if he couldn't beat him, he really couldn't beat him. He didn't expect to beat Fan Xiaodong through a change of strategy, because Sun Tianlong, the nemesis, was sitting on the baffle behind Fan Xiaodong.

He just felt very sad, he was suppressed by Sun Tianlong for a lifetime, losing dozens of games in a row, now that Sun Tianlong retired, he was beaten violently by his disciples, is this endless?

Fan Xiaodong was very happy, because he just won Bayer once, if he wins again this time, will it be a good story in the future, just like Brother Long, he will also become Bayer's nemesis?

A pair of violent fights, master and apprentice two days of grams-doesn't it sound cool?
(Bayer: Shit!)
In short, Bayer was beaten again, and Fan Xiaodong reached the final.

This time he did not win the championship. In the final, he was chopped off by K. Michel, a Swedish brother.

This does not mean that Michelle is better than Bayer. It can only be said that there is indeed mutual generation and restraint between the players. Fan Xiaodong can beat the "very reasonable" Bayer violently, but it does not mean that he can beat the "half reasonable and half unreasonable" but physically fit "better" Michelle, what's more, Michelle's technical improvement is very successful, the forehand glue makes his small ball in the table extra delicate, it is difficult for Fan Xiaodong to take the initiative from him, and in the In the purely frontal violent confrontation, he was actually slightly weaker than Michelle.

Sun Tianlong still didn't explain too much about this game, because he knew that part of Fan Xiaodong's loss was due to his on-the-spot strategy, but more of the loss was actually due to his body.

But it doesn't matter, because Fan Xiaodong is only 16 years old. After two or three years, his strength will be fully formed, and he will become a real human bulldozer. These people, even the invincible Huaping's new brother Wang Chao, he can definitely touch them again, maybe they will be broken?

It can only be said that this gift left to him by his teacher Qin Huachang before he retired is really a unique treasure in the table tennis world.

Then, it will be the Sakura Country Platinum Open at the end of January, which is the last open this year.

Bayer did not come this time, he gave up, and I will not participate in this year's year-end finals.

Ochumelov did not come either. He carefully calculated the points at home and finally decided that he must enter the final to get a ticket, but he thought he could not do this, so he abstained.

Morad came, murderous, sharpened his sword, and successfully bumped into England's hopeful star Pique in the second round of the race. Morad played exceptionally well in this campaign, and fought against Pique to the decisive game. 11:8 defeated.

But he was honored to lose, because Pique consumed too much in this game, caused a muscle strain, and even fell on the spot. In the end, it seriously affected his competitive state, causing Pique to lose to the original team in the third round. He couldn't beat his young Huaping player Lu Feiyang.

Morad was both happy and sad. He was happy because he successfully pulled one into the water, and sad because it turned out to be the Huaping player he hated the most.

He didn't pay much attention to Fan Xiaodong, because at this moment, not only him, but the whole world has understood that the rise of Huaping is not only 28-year-old Luo Jiu and 19-year-old Wang Chao, but also 16-year-old Fan Xiaodong , The new three generations of old, middle-aged and young are so dazzling, like three big mountains pressing on the top of the people, making them lose their dreams for at least ten years in the future and become flattened salted fish.

Perhaps, in the future world competitions, the runner-up is the highest honor that everyone can compete for, right?
The ITTF is not idle either. They are seriously discussing whether they should limit the number of applicants for the Open in the future?And should the number of places in the three major singles events be directly reduced to one?
I only let you send one person to participate, I want to see, how can you fmd make it to the finals!

Fan Xiaodong still did not disappoint. He once again rushed forward and reached the final. This time, his opponent was the water bird eagle representing the German Table Tennis Association...

Yes, it's amazing, right?
The abandoned Waterfowl Hawk played in the club league in Germany for more than half a year. He played very well and achieved excellent results. He voluntarily applied for naturalization, and Raulskov readily accepted it. In the battle for points in January, Raulskov Originally, it was not planned to let the water bird eagle play. After all, the water bird eagle is seriously absent this year, and even if it wins the championship, there is no way to accumulate enough points.

But because Bayer withdrew from the game, Rorskov had a whim, and planned to let the water bird eagle go to the international arena to echo other German players. Specifically, if you meet other players from other associations, give me a hard fight , but if you meet Heathfield and Wolff, please abstain directly and let them enter the next round.

Mizutori accepted this condition and entered the world arena. In the first round, he eliminated Uta Seiya from Sakura Country. His shots were extremely fierce, like a life-and-death enemy.

Then the water bird eagle began to go crazy. He himself was considered a stunning genius, but his career was ruined by one mouth. In the end, he was angry and complained. Motivation, killing all the way, was extremely lucky, he just didn't meet Sisfield and Wolfe, so he had no chance to retire, and unknowingly, he reached the final.

The opponent is Huaping player Fan Xiaodong.

He will never forget the sad past of being chased and killed by Huaping players Wang Wendong, Sun Tianlong, Luo Jiu, and Wang Chao.

He wants revenge!

"If you can't beat the old ones, then kill the young ones."

"I, Water Bird Eagle, am such a strange man who is not picky about food."

The final was extremely tragic. Fan Xiaodong relied on his natural composure beyond his age and his super-balanced ability to take root on the ground, while Shuiniaoying relied on his unrestrained style of play and excellent on-stage touch. The two sides fought again. to the tiebreaker.

Then the water bird Eagle's waist injury recurred.

In this open match, Shuifoying played so hard that he forgot that he was already a 30-year-old man with kidney overdraft. He relied on passion and anger to support him until now, when he suddenly found that his back hurts so badly.

He and Fan Xiaodong drew 2:2 in the first four rounds. He voluntarily abstained in the fifth round and was carried down by a stretcher. Once again, he was caught off guard and became the laughing stock of the table tennis world.

But the players from the foreign association laughed and burst into tears. They were too wronged, and they really couldn't get any points...

So far, Huaping has returned with a full load. Cai Guodong’s office phone was almost off the hook that day. Coaches from foreign associations took the initiative to call him one after another, showing the rich and colorful language arts of each country and the unique style of local national curse. Cai Guodong smiled. Smiling one by one, fully demonstrated his good self-cultivation that the mountain collapsed before him and his color did not change.

How else can we say that there is no good person in the Huaping coaching staff?
This is because the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

In short, all the open matches of this year have ended. A few days later, the ITTF sent out [-] invitation letters to the year-end finals. The statistics of the final invited players are as follows: Luo Jiu, Wang Chao, Hu Ke, Xiao Fei, Lin Zijun, Lin Li, Bai Feng, Zhang Benkuang, K. Michel, Fan Xiaodong, Weng Chunting, Sisfield, Zhu Shixian, Lu Feiyang, Arul, Wolfe.

Among them, the reason why Sun Tianlong was not invited was not because he retired, but because he did not participate in any open tournaments this year, so he had no points, and the year-end finals did not follow the world rankings, but Open points ranking.

So Xiao Fei, who also retired, was invited because he has both doubles and singles championship points.

Of course, Xiao Fei will withdraw from the competition, and at the same time, Lin Li and Bai Feng within Huaping also voluntarily applied for withdrawal, so the ITTF will add up according to the standings. In the end, Bayer, Pique and Qiu Shang got the tickets.

This was definitely a surprise for the foreign association, because they never expected that Lin Li and Bai Feng on Huaping's side were clearly in their prime, and they both chose to retire.

This was because they could not understand Lin Li and Bai Feng's subtle mentality in this year's situation.

The champion of the year-end finals is almost 100% Wang Chao's. Bai Feng and Lin Li, as Wang Chao's former competitors for the Olympic spot, will inevitably feel deeply frustrated and embarrassed at this time. Wang Chao was beaten up violently. It is better to hide one's clumsiness than to show ugliness. At the same time, they also need to spend some time to adjust their mentality, and use a new attitude to face Wang Chao, the former junior, and now the first brother.

So Morad was depressed again...

He suddenly realized that he was actually only a little bit short of entering the 16-man squad for the year-end finals, but why did he meet Pique earlier in the last stop?

On the night when the big list was announced, the little brother from Sweden dropped all the things in his house, barely calming down the anger in his heart.

This matter is not on the table, because something more important happened: before the start of the year-end finals, the table tennis super playoffs started first.

The commentators for this competition were again Qin Huachang and Sun Tianlong, who had just returned from the Cherry Blossom Country Open not long ago.

Once again, the master-student teamed up to bring unprecedented attention to this year's playoffs.
