Ping Pong Life

Chapter 78 Gambling
On the contestant's bench, Fan Xiaoxian clapped his hands and cheered, but Geng Shuai let out a "tsk" and shook his head, quite emotionally.

Of course he could see what Wang Chao was doing.

He also knows how difficult it is to really do something that is not complicated.

In fact, Lu Jia's serve is very bad, but the quality of He Luo's return is very good.

Theoretically speaking, this ball should be He Luo Yangchi's side taking the offensive initiative.

But Wang Chao insisted on relying on his incomparable touch, directly and perfectly resolved He Luo's return, and passed a super high-quality baseline long ball that changed the line, forcing Yang Chi to save the ball hastily.

This is unreasonable.

When your technical hard power is much better than your opponent, you can force your opponent like this.

Of course, it cannot be said that Wang Chao’s move is unsolvable, because if Geng Shuai were to catch the ball, he would have a faster pace and a better power posture, so that he could take the first step to stand, and then Take the board directly and turn passive into active.

However, Yang Chi couldn't do it.

So when he saw the ball, Geng Shuai knew that this match was probably over.

The ensuing battle also confirmed this point.

Lu Jia's second serve was still a short backspin. He Luo didn't dare to simply rub the ball back, but took the initiative to try to change the line. However, the ball he came back was forcibly cut by Wang Chao again with unparalleled delicate touch Yang Chi's unexpected position.

This time Yang Chi leaned to the right subconsciously, but the ball fell into the small triangle on his left, which made him unable to get started, so he could only rub it back.

In the end, the ball was scraped by the players of both sides for a total of five boards. By the fifth board, Lu Jia had found an excellent opportunity to attack again. He no longer needed Wang Chao's reminder, and took the initiative to settle the battle with a burst of boards.

2: 0.

So far, Lu Jia's collapsed state has completely returned.

After 7 minutes in the first game, Wang Chao and Lu Jia won the first game 11:7.

During the break between rounds, Lu Jia quietly told Wang Chao: "It's weird, the cooperation between them seems to be worse than before."

Just like Yang Chi He Luo knows the bottom line of Lu Jia, Lu Jia also knows the bottom line of Yang Chi He Luo's doubles strength.

Wang Chao was also a little suspicious.

In the game just now, he felt that there seemed to be a lack of tacit understanding between Yang Chi and He Luo, and they almost bumped into each other several times because of the pace problem when they took turns receiving the ball.

This kind of low-level mistake should never be made by a partner who has worked together for a long time.

However, he also knew for sure that Yang Chi and He Luo played doubles at Spade Q Club for a whole year the year before last.

Didn't they practice doubles all offseason?

"Why don't we challenge the difficulty in the second game?"

Wang Chao smiled slyly: "Speaking of which, are you interested in Sister Xian's personal reward?"

Lu Jia froze for a moment, his eyes brightened slightly.

After 10 minutes, the second game ended, the score was 11:4, and Wang Chao Lujia won again.

The home spectators in the stands were still waving banners to cheer Yang Chi and He Luo, but the coaches and players of both sides knew very well that there was no suspense in the third game.

The mentality of Yang Chi and He Luo has collapsed along with their fighting spirit.

Soon, the third game began.

From the first goal, the score has been soaring all the way with an attitude of being unable to stop the car.

1: 0.

2: 0.

3: 0.

……

7: 0.

8: 0.

Even the cheering in the stands gradually became quieter, because Yang Chi and He Luo's resistance became weaker and weaker, and some mistakes were simply low-level, and even the home audience couldn't stand it.

Wang Chao was as steady and calm as ever, but Lu Jia became more and more excited as he fought. Later, he would clenched his fists and roared every time he scored. But when he got close to the surrounding baffles, he was booed back by a lot of boos from the audience.

This is the home of sweet-scented osmanthus...

Well, it's a little embarrassing, but it doesn't affect the excitement.

Wang Chao didn't quite understand where Lu Jia's excitement came from, because he didn't know what He Luo had said in Lu Jia's ear.

At this time, Osmanthus Fragrance's coach called a timeout, and Yang Chi and He Luo walked to the sidelines with gloomy faces.

This is the first timeout in three games today.

At this time, Osmanthus Fragrance naturally did not expect to be able to make a big comeback in this doubles. The purpose of the timeout they called was pure, hoping that their heads would not be shaved.

Huaguo is a country of etiquette, and it has always paid attention to three points of courtesy. The ancients said: If everything is done too much, fate will inevitably be exhausted early.

Therefore, whether it is an international competition or a variety of domestic competitions, players generally abide by an unwritten hidden rule: do not shave their heads.

But there are exceptions.

For example, the derby between Spades Q and Xiangshuihe.

For example, the grievances between Spades Q and Osmanthus Fragrance.

In the third game of the second game, He Luo wanted to beat Lu Jia 11:0, but Lu Jia worked hard and finally scored a point, saving his own face and the club's face.

In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed, and now it was Spade Q's turn to be full of malice and want to shave Osmanthus Fragrance's bald head.

Wang Chao stood at the side of the court and watched from a distance. The coach at Osmanthus Fragrance was talking endlessly, and his hands were still gesticulating, wishing to instill countless information to his players within 3 minutes.

Yang Chi and He Luo still looked gloomy, and rarely looked at each other, but in the last ten seconds of the timeout countdown, probably because of the coach's suggestion, the two finally put their hands together and shouted a slogan.

After the pause, resume the battle.

It happened to be Wang Chao's turn to serve.

Holding the ball in the palm of his right hand, Wang Chao stood sideways on the edge of the table. The racket in his left hand shook slightly, making Yang Chi and He Luo's scalp tingle.

In the two rounds just now, the two of them suffered at least ten losses in front of Wang Chao's serve.

During the timeout, the coach also analyzed Wang Chao's next serve at length, and gave instructions for each situation.

The coach even said that 80.00% of Wang Chao's second serve would be long, and suggested that Yang Chi take a gamble and attack directly sideways.

Yang Chi was submissive in his mouth, but he was sneering in his heart.

He thinks coaching is all about talking on paper.

In a real game, how could the serve be fixed long ago?

The server will keep thinking, observing, and adjusting, and even adjust his serving strategy according to the specific position of the opponent on the table and the posture of receiving the ball.

The whole process should be fluid and changing, not static.

This coach jumped over from Q of Spades together with He Luo after the end of last season.

Yang Chi doesn't think highly of this coach.

Because this coach's performance in Spade Q was a mess last year, He Luo didn't make any progress in a year under his training.

This coach even tried to reform Geng Shuai so that Geng Shuai would no longer cut off the power, but in the end his reform did not have any effect. Instead, Geng Shuai strongly resisted.

This is a trash with high eyesight and low power who can only talk about it!

……

Wang Chao served, Yang Chi turned sideways directly.

Yang Chi was also betting, but unlike the coach's betting method, he deliberately leaned forward, stood next to the table, and assumed a posture of taking short backspin.

He believes that this posture has a certain chance of inducing Wang Chao to steal a long ball.

But he thought he couldn't see through Wang Chao's ever-changing wrist movements, so he simply bet that the moment Wang Chao served the ball, he would take a step back and turn sideways at the same time, regardless of 21 or [-].

If Wang Chao really cheated, he would beat Wang Chao to death!

However, it is a pity that Wang Chao sent a very ordinary short backspin...

So this moment became a bit embarrassing. Yang Chi's retreat and sideways movements were so decisive, but in the end he withdrew lonely. He hurriedly turned back to catch the ball, but directly rubbed the ball to a very high place.

Without hesitation, Lu Jia rushed forward!
This time He Luo caught the ball, but then Wang Chao followed up with a blast and killed him directly.

9: 0.

A layer of cold sweat welled up on Yang Chi's back.

He really panicked, because he found that no matter how he counted, he couldn't count Wang Chao.

Many games on the table tennis court are purely two choices, not like onions peeled layer by layer, but why does Wang Chao always choose the one he guessed wrong?
How did he calculate it?
He is obviously a young guy who has just entered the professional arena, why does he have such treacherous thoughts?

Yang Chi has only seen this kind of oppressive force that makes people feel completely hopeless on one person in his entire career.

That is Geng Shuai.

To be precise, it was Geng Shuai in the first game.

In Spades Q, he had challenged Geng Shuai countless times. He was always beaten in the first round, and could never win the first three rounds.

But Geng Shuai in the third game is predictable, and Geng Shuai in the fourth game can be defeated. Only Geng Shuai in the first game is truly invulnerable.

What makes Geng Shuai desperate is his unparalleled attack power.

What Wang Chao made him despair was his thoughts that he could never figure out.

Wang Chao served again.

Yang Chi turned sideways again.

He has a ruthless spirit, and if he wants to gamble, he gambles to the end.

He did not believe that Wang Chao's mentality would not fluctuate at this critical moment.

Even the great national players will have mental fluctuations in the deciding game. Why is Wang Chao, who is just entering the professional arena, so calm?

As long as there is a slight fluctuation, it will make the players feel impatient. Once impatient, they like to steal.

He gambled that Wang Chao would steal this time.
