Ping Pong Life

Chapter 144

That night, the two continued to stay in the hotel watching the Asian Cup.

Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong are still making great strides, fully displaying Huaping's strength.

Although the gold content of the Asian Cup is not high, the quality of the Asian Cup has actually crushed the European Cup over the years.

This is of course due to the dominance of the Huaping family, and it is also because the players from Sakura Country, Kimchi Country, Bay Island, and Hong Kong Island all have extremely distinctive personal characteristics.

For example, the opponent Luo Jiuba Jinsi met was the veteran Mizutori Taka from Sakura Country.

This person feels very good, especially the handling of small balls in the table can be described as unpredictable, and the shape of the racket is ever-changing. When he debuted, he was described as "a once-in-a-thousand-year ping-pong wizard" by the exaggerated Sakura Country media. Sure enough, he has achieved extremely brilliant results in a series of domestic and international competitions, and is currently the well-deserved No. [-] male table tennis player in Sakura Country.

When Luo Jiu's double-sided arc ball offensive style was just completed, he had encountered the water bird eagle many times in major competitions. He won six of the seven games and had a high winning rate. But if you look closely at the content of the game, Luo Jiu played It must be more difficult.

Because Luo Jiu himself is famous for his touch, and Water Bird's touch is not inferior to him. In the stalemate of the loop ball, Water Bird's strength is actually better.

Luo Jiu was able to win against Water Bird Eagle in his early years, mostly because he had more advanced offensive skills in Taiwan, and Water Bird Eagle has not been able to solve his Achilles heel for more than ten years: unstable state.

But this time, Luo Jiu beat the waterfowl eagle 4:0. In the last round, the already unstable waterfowl eagle was completely knocked out and committed suicide by serving three times in one round, causing the audience to laugh.

Luo Jiu then defeated a local player from the Peacock Country in the semi-finals. This match was lackluster, basically a crush of hard power.

And the Dragon team's game was even more devastating. His two battles were fought against old acquaintances. Players like the Dragon team are good at formulating special tactics according to their opponents. Cutting melons and chopping vegetables all won 4-0, which also made the international media shout wildly: The Empire Destroyer Dragon no longer belongs to this planet!Only time can defeat the Dragon God!

Outsiders can't see the tragic inside story of the dragon team "fighting for a year and a half and then retiring directly". They just can't figure out why a veteran player who is full of scars has shown a precarious twilight in the first half of the year, why he suddenly became so lively in the second half of the year What?

Is this a flashback, or is it really a second spring?

In any case, the results of this day's match made the Huaguo fans satisfied, because Luo Jiu finally managed to keep the chain alive this time, defeating all the powerful enemies all the way with a crushing posture of the return of the king, and finally reached the final. The backhand raw rubber technology displayed in the competition made countless people in the industry unbelievable, and the foreign media shouted: Shocked!A style of out-of-the-box leather is back in popularity!
Therefore, tomorrow's final will be the Chinese Civil War.

Luo Jiu vs Sun Tianlong.

On the Silver Ball Flying Dance forum, countless posts have been posted.

"Luo Jiu's technical transformation is successful, a preliminary study of the new style of play"

"On whether the side-holding and flip-side raw rubber style is suitable for ordinary people"

"Sun Tianlong vs Luo Jiu, who can have the last laugh"

"Seven years of ups and downs, three technological transformations, what is the fault of He Jingping, the initiator"

"Goal: The fourth Asian Cup champion, Sun Tianlong is hitting a new world record"

"..."

If you continue to scroll down and turn to the third page of the forum, you will find a small post related to Wang Chao, which has a fairly good popularity.

"Spades q was unexpectedly defeated at home, the head coach of Qiantang Guanchao: Facts have proved that hard work can create miracles"

Countless people under the post are scolding the head coach of Qiantang Guanchao, because their victory has nothing to do with hard work, it is purely because Geng Shuai and Wang Chao didn't play, Tian Zhengguang, Gao Ming, Lu Jia, the three unlucky guys played together for the first time, and finally ranked The team was bullied.

Qiantang Guanchao 3:0 bloody spade q, this record they can boast for a year.

This also caused many people to leave messages under the official website of Spade Q Club, wanting to know what Wang Chao was doing.

……

Perhaps because the good news was approaching, Qin Huachang also lost interest in shopping, and stayed in the hotel with Wang Chao, spending a whole day of boredom until the live broadcast of the Asian Cup began.

The men's singles and women's singles competitions were held first. In the end, a female player from Minato won the bronze medal in the women's singles, while the men's singles player from Kimchi Country won the bronze medal in the men's singles.

Then came the women's singles final, both sides were Hua Guo players.

The game was actually very exciting, and the offensive and defensive transitions were super fast, but after all, it had nothing to do with them. Wang Chao and Qin Huachang watched a little absent-mindedly.

Women's table tennis has a great advantage in the world. Although Sakura Country's women's table tennis shows signs of rising, at least at this stage, at least three people can be selected from among women's table tennis players, and each of them has beaten foreign invincible players.

Then, the real highlight came.

At this moment, even the official of Peacock Kingdom was a little more passionate when they announced the curtain. They called out the names of Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong, and let them appear one by one. There was warm applause from the stands.

Although all the players from Peacock Country had already been eliminated in the finals, the audience was still full of expectations because they knew that the battle between Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong was very likely to be the most exciting match of this year.

With Luo Jiu's strength shown in this Asian Cup, there are even many professional players in the world table tennis world who openly say that Luo Jiu has a chance to "kill the dragon".

Waterbird Eagle, who just left the country of peacocks and returned to the country of cherry blossoms yesterday, also said in an interview with the media: "This time when I played against Luo Jiu, I felt unprecedented pressure. This kind of pressure was something I didn't feel on Sun Tianlong. , I think Luo Jiu has at least a [-]% chance of winning the championship."

Water bird eagle has always liked to talk nonsense and sensationalize in the media, but his remarks have rarely won the support of many professionals in Sakura.

Wang Chao also asked Qin Huachang a question at this time: "Actually, I'm quite curious. Sun Tianlong is going to play in the Asian Cup. As the head coach, can you not accompany him?"

Qin Huachang smiled slightly: "If it was Lin Li, I would go, but for Sun Tianlong, there is no need."

This was said calmly, but there was a stench of pretending to permeate it.

After all, to be able to teach a disciple like Sun Tianlong, any coach would be proud of it.

"Then you mean that the Dragons will win today?" Wang Chao asked.

Qin Huachang smiled and remained silent.

Wang Chao asked again.

Qin Huachang still smiled and remained silent.

Wang Chao asked for the third time.

Qin Huachang had no choice but to smile slightly: "Let me tell you this."

"According to my observation, Luo Jiu's strength has indeed taken a leap after the technical transformation, but if he wants to beat Sun Tianlong, hehe..."

He stretched out two fingers, put them in front of Wang Chao's eyes, and shook them: "After two years, there may be a [-]% chance."

At this moment, a very strange scene appeared on the screen.

Luo Jiu shook hands with Sun Tianlong and entered the arena. There was a low booing sound from the audience, because many spectators found that Luo Jiu didn't hold a racket...

Then Wang Chao saw that Luo Jiu on the screen turned his head and looked somewhere.

That place was originally the place where the on-site coaches should do, but because today is the Huaping Civil War, according to Huaping's long-standing civil war rules, the coaches of both players will not appear on the stage to guide, and it is up to the players to perform on their own.

But this time, Wang Chao caught a glimpse of He Jingping sitting in the row behind the coach seat.

After Luo Jiu looked over, He Jingping stood up and threw the racket in his hand at Luo Jiu in the field.

The method of throwing a flying saucer is used, and the racket is spinning in the air, which is really beautiful.

One second before He Jingping threw the racket, Wang Chao clearly saw Luo Jiu's lips move, as if he had said a word.

The auditorium was a few meters away from the center of the court. As soon as He Jingping threw the racket, many spectators exclaimed, and even officials ran over to prevent accidents, such as Luo Jiu being injured.

But Luo Jiu stood there motionless, with a straight body, nodding his thanks to He Jingping, as if posing a posses, without looking at the sky, he stretched out his hand, caught the spinning racket flying over in his hand, and swung it twice , like dancing a sword, then turned around, looked at Sun Tianlong on the opposite side of the table, and stretched forward with one hand, meaning: Please make a move.

This scene is actually quite handsome.

Qin Huachang was stunned and didn't know what happened. He turned his head and said, "Boy, can you tell me what happened?"

Wang Chao had a strange expression, shook his head, suppressed a smile, and remained silent.

If he hadn't been in contact with Luo Jiu, he would definitely not be able to figure it out.

But now.

he thinks……

he probably...

perhaps……

possible……

yes.

The two words that Luo Jiu yelled just now, judging from the shape of his mouth, seem to be "shooting"?
Then the beat was thrown by He Jingping.

Luo Jiu picked it up so easily, obviously he had practiced it before.

He Jingping's throwing is so accurate, it is obvious that he has practiced it before.

So, this is actually a self-designed willful appearance in the international arena by a severely poisoned Internet novel lover?
I just don’t know, who can get it?
Wang Chao's mind flashed the startling glance he had just given to He Jingping.

At that moment, did Senior He have a helpless wry smile on his face?

Well, it seems to be true...

Thinking about it this way, Wang Chao suddenly understood why Luo Jiu always believed in He Jingping as the coach.

This kind of nonsense with his disciples, the entire Huaping coaching staff, probably only He Jingping can do it?

Senior He seems to have a serious personality, but he indulged his disciples, just like he indulged Zhu Ding back then.

Qin Huachang seems to be humorous, but he is strict with his disciples, otherwise the tragedy of Fan Pingnan breaking his leg during practice would not have happened.

But the officials of the Peacock Kingdom didn't know the truth. After a short period of confusion, the host began to chatter desperately, trying to make things right, but the referee at the table had already blown his whistle, and the game officially started.

When the first game started, it gave everyone a great surprise.

The one who got the right to serve was the Dragon Team. When he succeeded in guessing the coin, everyone thought that the Dragon Team would be the first to score.

Because the Dragons have had a glorious tradition of "first serve, first score" for many years.

His tactics are too rich and his experience is too rich, so every serve has a design. If you want to compare it, it is like two people playing chess. You have seen the next three steps after taking one step, instead of just passively dealing with him. first step.

Therefore, in a sense, the dragon team's serve is not just a single serve, but the first step of a set of combined tactics. He felt that if he made any mistakes, he would have been beaten to death by the dragon team for no reason.

But this time something happened by accident.

The Dragon team threw the ball directly high. According to Wang Chao's understanding, the next way to deal with the ball is to see whether the opponent will be successfully attacked when receiving the ball, whether it will take a high shot, and whether it will catch a long ball from the baseline.

In any case, the high throw is very easy to create an active offensive opportunity.

But Luo Jiu made a turning action at this time.

The abduction technique has been available for three months, and very few people in the professional table tennis world use it. This is also the first time Luo Jiu demonstrated it in front of the whole world.

Turning around is not a very clever move, but most professional players lack experience in dealing with it, and they are always a little surprised when encountering it at first. So in this case, Luo Jiu's turning around successfully brought the ball's landing point to the next level. to an unexpected location.

The Dragons failed to form an active offensive posture and were forced to make a short transition.

Then Luo Jiu directly hit the forehand, which was extremely difficult, but he succeeded.

The dragon team didn't panic, and retreated steadily.

Luo Jiu pulled his forehand again.

The Dragons continued to pull.

Luo Jiu suddenly moved to the right, forcibly turning the forehand into a backhand, and the back of the racket bounced hard.

It is the most classic raw rubber ball hitting.

Compared with the previous pairing, this ball has a completely different rhythm. It changed from slow to fast in an instant, and it changed from an arc to a straight line. Still let him complete the position ahead of time, a back tear, and brought the ball over.

Luo Jiu played again, this time faster than the previous two times, and even had an almost weird line change.

Even with Wang Chao's understanding of raw rubber these days, he couldn't tell whether this line change was initiated by Luo Jiu, or whether it was an accidental effect caused by the uncontrollable deformation of the granule glue.

But this time the dragon team finally couldn't keep up with the speed, so he could only give up his footwork, forcefully swing his arms, and try his best to save the ball.

The ball was saved successfully, but the quality of the ball returned has been broken.

Luo Jiu played again, and this time successfully penetrated the backhand of the Dragon team, scoring the first point 1:0.

It was just the first ball that Qin Huachang couldn't sit still on the bed. He dragged a wooden chair from the side, sat in front of the TV screen, and stared at the screen, trying to see every detail clearly.
