Ping Pong Life

Chapter 95
This is probably the least away game that Wang Chao has ever encountered.

In the previous four games of spade q in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, everyone was very polite, especially when it came to training, they were absolutely clear-cut and guarded against each other. Fan Xiaoxian took everyone out to eat directly , Each other is like a burglar.

That's what southerners do.

People from the Northeast are completely different.

That night, the Jingyuewan Club officials came forward to entertain the spade q crowd. As a result, before eating a few bites of food, each other started drinking wildly. After drinking, they began to hook up and call friends. Not sure who is on which team.

The "four boxes plus three bottles of white wine" that Fang Yuan said in the training hall was not just for fun. She really had four boxes of Bingcheng beer and three bottles of high-alcohol liquor with a temperature of over 60 degrees.

Even a person like Wang Chao who is determined not to drink alcohol in his life can hardly resist the fiery enthusiasm of the Northeast brothers...

Well, the fact is that the three Northeast men pressed him on the sofa, staring at him with six eyes, knowing their interests, acting with their true feelings, threatening and luring him, so he had to blow a bottle of beer on the spot.

This makes people in the rivers and lakes, involuntary.

The dinner was noisy for two or three hours, and finally all the wine was drunk, and everyone went back to their rooms drunk to sleep. As for the arrangement of making the game plan that night, it was of course stranded.

At [-] o'clock the next morning, Wang Chao and Gao Ming first went to the training ground to practice, and then other players arrived one after another, and they didn't all arrive until after ten o'clock. Miraculously, the players from Jingyue Bay were not far away. The training on the table was full of enthusiasm and fierceness, and there was no sign of hiding the slightest hint of clumsiness at all, which made Wang Chao a little puzzled.

Is the big Northeast brother really so magnanimous?
Soon he knew why.

"Is it necessary to cover up? Anyway, no matter how you fight, you will lose, let go and play."

Fang Yuan, the team leader of Jingyue Bay, explained indifferently: "You just joined the table tennis team, so you may not understand the market...Let me tell you this, your Geng Shuai was defeated by our Niu Lin Juntian."

Wang Chao's eyes widened: "Tianke?"

"That's right, Tianke." Fang Yuan laughed and said, "The so-called Tianke means that if they fight ten games, Geng Shuai can't win a game, or in other words, can't win a game!"

Wang Chao was shocked.

You know, even Zhu Ding, who is known as the invincible table tennis player, couldn't beat Brother Geng in the first round. Is this man named Niu Linjun so awesome?
But he soon understood the key.

Niu Linjun is a chipper.

The chopping style of play has existed since the birth of table tennis, and it has always been unpopular. Over the years, there are only a handful of chopping players who can win gold and silver in international competitions.

There are rumors in the world: the candy bar does not go out for a year, the horizontal bar kills people for half a year, and the chopping ball takes three years to get started.

So every chipper has extremely good patience and enough tough endurance.

This thing is difficult to practice and difficult to achieve results. The only advantage is that the professional life is long enough.

A professional chipper can play well into his 40s, and his skills may even improve.

However, for a player with a regular horizontal style of play, his strength will decline rapidly along with his physical strength until he is in his 30s at most.

Not to mention the straight board, because it requires more running than the horizontal board, and physical strength is a big problem.

One of the characteristics of the chipper's game is that he plays very slowly.

why?

Because chopping is essentially defense, practicing chopping hard is practicing defense hard. The main way to win is to wait for the opponent to make mistakes, not to take the initiative to attack.

In this way, when a chipper meets an attacker, the attacker is afraid of backspin, and dare not attack too hard, and cannot kill anyone at all, while the chipper himself has never thought of attacking, so Both sides have to play many rounds for each ball to decide the winner.

Even if the winner is determined, in most cases it is not based on offensive scoring, but on offensive mistakes or defensive mistakes.

What if nothing goes wrong?
Then spend it and see who is more patient. Anyway, the chippers are turtles.

And when two chippers meet, it is even more terrifying torture. The two can chip until the end of the world, and the sea is dry and the stone is rotten. It is not difficult at all for seventy or eighty rounds.

As a result, the ITTF had to directly increase the restriction rules: the number of consecutive chipping boards must not exceed 13 boards. Once it exceeds, whoever dares to cut again, the referee will cut him (penalty points).

It is also this rule that has forced many chippers to start learning offense, which has become the more popular "combination of attack and attack" system.

The so-called combination of attack and cut is to use the cut to create opportunities, and then use the offense to score.

But even the combination of attacking and cutting can only alleviate the problem a little, but it can't completely solve the problem. The game with the chipper is always extraordinarily long.

Having said all this, let's look at the match between Niu Linjun and Geng Shuai, the reason will be clear at a glance.

Geng Shuai can only play good shots for 10 minutes at most, and then his state will decline rapidly. Usually, he can play three games in 10 minutes against other players, but against Niu Linjun, he may not even play a game in 10 minutes. It's over.

Don't forget, after all, Niu Linjun is the only active member of the national team among all the current table tennis players.

This kind of world-class chipper does not mean that he will definitely not be able to penetrate within two or three balls, but absolutely no one dares to say that he will definitely penetrate within three or two balls.

If you want to kill the chipper, you need to be patient and look for opportunities slowly, and you will make mistakes if you are a little impatient.

So, from this point of view, Niu Linjun is really Tian Ke Geng Shuai.

"There is only one special class in your team, and we are the same, so Geng Shuai will definitely play the first match with Niu Linjun, and he will definitely lose."

Fang Yuan analyzed the situation for Wang Chao very frankly: "You are very good, I have watched your game, your strength may be comparable to Zhu Ding, but no matter how strong you are, you can only get two points, then what? "

She pointed her finger at Wang Chao to settle the score: "Geng Shuai can't beat Niu Linjun, and Lu Jia has no chance against Sun Yuanqiang or Li Huashan. As for your two substitutes, you can still lead them in doubles, and your singles ability is completely worthless." Tell me, Wang Chao, how did you win?"

Sun Yuanqiang and Li Huashan are the second and third single players of the Jingyue Bay Club. Their skills are stable in the first echelon. Even if they are slightly weaker than last year's second single Hiroshi Yoshikawa, they are still quite weak.

At this time, Wang Chao heard laughter not far away. It turned out that Geng Shuai was finishing a friendly match with Niu Linjun. The scoreboard next to him clearly read 14:12, and Geng Shuai lost.

As Fang Yuan said, it was difficult for Geng Shuai to win even the first game, because Niu Linjun was able to carry more than a dozen balls, and each ball carried more than a dozen rebounds, plus a series of running circles, wiping sweat and tying shoelaces. Means, a game was played for exactly 10 minutes, until Geng Shuai cut off the power directly.

Geng Shuai seemed to be in a good state of mind, but he just shook his head and smiled wryly, with a faint trace of helplessness in his eyes.

It was not the first time he lost to Niu Linjun, and he was used to losing for a long time, but as a professional player, after losing a desperate game, he still inevitably felt a little frustrated.

This feeling of being dragged to death forcibly made him more depressed than being forcibly beaten to death by Zhu Ding, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"This is no longer a problem that can be solved by the formation of troops, because no matter how your teammates line up, it is impossible to get points."

Fang Yuan smiled and patted Wang Chao on the shoulder: "Okay, don't think too much, the team competition is not something you can solve alone. Tomorrow, you can do your own thing well, just don't leave any regrets."

Fang Yuan left, but Wang Chao was lost in thought.

After much deliberation, he realized that the only way to solve the problem was for Geng to win the second singles match without powering off after losing to Niu Linjun.

But with Brother Geng's current situation, how is it possible?

At this time, the footsteps were approaching, and he woke up from his contemplation. When he looked up, Niu Linjun, a single from Jingyuewan, had already come in front of him.

"Let's play one game, Wang Chao. Let's follow the regular game rules and win three out of five rounds."

Niu Linjun was straightforward: "I don't care what the result of tomorrow's game is, as long as you beat me today, I will admit that you are stronger."

Wang Chao asked, "Why?"

"Because if you can beat me, you will definitely be able to beat Sun Yuanqiang and Li Huashan, and besides being unable to beat me, Geng Shuai can also beat them both." Niu Linjun did not shy away: "So in theory, as long as I catch Without Geng Shuai, you will surely win three singles matches."

Wang Chao said: "But according to the rules, you must catch Brother Geng."

Niu Linjun shook his head: "The advantage caused by the table tennis rules is not a fair and reasonable advantage in my opinion. In fact, if I guess correctly, you will definitely enter the national team next year, and you will definitely get the opportunity to play in the world tour." Chance, when the time comes, it will be difficult for you to win the gold medal, but it will be easy for you to get a bronze medal and qualify as a super athlete. At that time, you and Geng Shuai can exchange the order of appearance at will, how can I catch Geng Shuai? handsome?"

Geng Shuai had also come over at this moment, and interjected, "Wang Chao, fight him."

Wang Chao nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's have a fight."
