Ping Pong Life

Chapter 146 The Reason You Can't Lose
This time, the Dragons stole a long ball extremely rarely.

In the international arena, especially in high-level duels, stealing is not common, because everyone's skills are too good. Once stealing fails, it is almost equivalent to giving the ball to the opponent to attack.

But the dragon team's stealing at this time is not unexpected, let alone dizzy.

Because in essence, there is no distinction between good and bad serves, as long as you can surprise the opponent, it is a good serve.

The Dragons have tried all kinds of serve in this round, but they have not tried stealing long.

That being the case, even if this kind of serve is relatively "not advanced", you should try it.

But who is Luo Jiu?
In terms of talent, Luo Jiu was recognized as the number one seven years ago. In the past seven years, many people from the first and second teams of the Huaping National Team have come and gone, and there are many seedlings sent by the provincial teams for trial training. , everyone still recognized that Luo Jiu was the number one talent.

Even though he suffered repeated setbacks in the technical transformation, this evaluation has not changed.

He is "spiritual".

The whole world doesn't know that the dragon team is going to steal the captain.

Even Dragon Team himself didn't think about what he was going to serve five seconds before serving.

But Luo Jiu knew that Team Dragon was going to steal the leader.

The moment before the serve, the Dragon team thought: "No matter whether the serve is advanced or low, since you have not tried it, then try it, maybe you will succeed?"

The Dragons have always played like this, trying various techniques and routines, observing the opponent's reaction, and then finding the most suitable way to defeat the opponent based on the actual effect of the game.

Because he is proficient in all the technologies in the world, he can fight like this, try first, and then make targeted responses.

But what Luo Jiu thinks is: "Is there any serving technique in the arsenal of the Dragon Team that has not been brought out? Oh, and stealing long. If so, he will definitely steal long at the last minute, because it is now 9:9, It's a key shot."

所谓关键球, 指的就是当比赛进行到9：9，10：10，11：11的金球阶段时, 你需要处理的每一个球。

Because any player will definitely have mood swings at such times. This kind of fluctuation cannot be concealed. It will not change because of your strength or experience. It only depends on whether you are a flesh and blood or a robot.

Even the Dragons have mood swings on key shots.

The reason why Huaping has been stably suppressing the world for more than ten years is precisely because Huaping's coaching staff has always emphasized the importance and handling of key balls. Therefore, whenever the game hits a white-hot stage, foreign players are always unable to hold back. Crashed at the last minute.

The generally accepted idea of ​​Huaping coaching staff is that the more critical the ball is, the less soft-handed, conservative and fearful it is.

It is necessary to have a normal mind, but also to go beyond the normal mind.

Because a normal mind can keep your skills stable and not deformed, and a transcendent mind can make you dare to make a move at this moment, be brave to make a move, and control the enemy with one move.

So Luo Jiu went all out at this moment.

When Dragon Team served, he didn't bother to look at the details of Dragon Team's specific movements, he only paid attention to the general position, and then turned sideways directly.

He had a showdown, he had a stud.

Just bet on the dragon team to steal the leader.

Then, the dragon team really stole long.

So just as the ball hit the table, Luo Jiu's racket followed him like a shadow.

The speed of response is simply suffocating!
He hits the "head shot," also known as the "rising shot," which means that the ball continues to bounce upwards when it is hit by the racket.

According to the strength of the Dragon team, the ball could bounce at least ten centimeters, but in fact, it barely bounced to the height of the net, and Luo Jiu slapped it back hard.

This is a frictionless hard forehand.

Because it is a simple and rough forced slap, it is fast enough.

And because the hitting point is low enough, this line is very extreme, almost horizontal, and it must be able to pass the net without flying out of the opposite table.

It's pretty much a theoretical straight line.

This ball was really too fast, because Luo Jiu's hitting point was too far forward, and he didn't even allow the ball to bounce completely.

At the same time, Luo Jiu used up [-]% of his strength.

So the dragon team really didn't keep up, he made a hasty rescue, but the ball hit the edge of the racket one step ahead and flew out from the side.

The score became 10:9, with Luo Jiu leading.

At this moment, Qin Huachang pushed his feet forward subconsciously, and the chair scraped against the floor, making an ear-piercing sound, and he yelled without any bossy style: "I beep (a plant)!"

The Dragons continued to serve.

With the ball in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes, opened them two seconds later, and took a deep breath.

In fact, this move was suspected of delaying the serve, but the referee and vice referee on both sides of the table looked nervous, and no one thought of blowing the whistle to warn.

The referee is usually the person who needs to be calm and calm most on the field, but the country of peacocks is a very strange country. The peacocks here grew up drinking the highly polluted water of the Ganges River. The pace of society is slow, and the education coverage rate is not high. As a result, the citizens are generally lazy and crooked. In addition to not paying attention to hygiene, their integrity is also relatively poor. Most importantly, they have extremely poor self-control, easy to be emotional, and extremely lack of discipline.

These two referees are from China, and they are usually calm when adjudicating games, but today, under their noses, they first saw Luo Jiu showing an amazing style of play that had never been seen in the world before, and then saw the almost steel-like defense of the Dragon team Ability, the two Ah Sans have broken their defenses.

Judging by the way they held their breath, it was probably because they were afraid that blowing the whistle would affect the solemn atmosphere in the middle of the field.

however……

Dragon team is very depressed.

He has to wait for the referee to blow the whistle before serving...

So after waiting for five seconds, he had to turn his head and look at the referee, looking a little confused.

What are you two doing?
The referee didn't react until this time, and blew his whistle in a hurry, which caused the audience to burst into laughter, and even the dignified atmosphere of the game was diluted a lot.

The Dragons stole another long ball.

The Huaping players' handling of key balls emphasizes a bold and careful attitude. At this time, any top player from other countries will definitely choose to seek stability, especially on the premise that he is becoming more and more adaptable to the opponent's style of play. .

"My hard power is still slightly ahead, and my short ball in the court has obvious advantages. Why am I not playing steadily?"

But Team Long didn't think so. The more critical the moment, the more he wanted to steal.

He is a player who never steals chickens, but because he is a player who never steals chickens, it is even more unexpected when he steals chickens.

What's more, he just failed to steal one.

Who would have thought that he would steal?
He thought Luo Jiu couldn't guess his intention.

But Luo Jiu guessed again.

Luo Jiu turned sideways, rushed forward, and shot another extreme rising ball.

The Dragon team was directly beaten to death by this board.

The score was fixed at 11:9.

If he played normally, he might not have lost this round, but he stole two balls, but instead stole himself to death.

At this moment, there was an explosion in the auditorium, and people began to discuss wildly, and there were even some people who blushed and had thick necks in just half a minute.

There was plenty of debate among the crowd about the Dragons' strategy for those last two balls.

But the dragon team's expression is still calm, this is the king's temperament tempered by seven years of undefeated.

In fact, after seeing Luo Jiu's sideways movement, Dragon Team didn't try to save the ball, but shook his head, put the racket on the table, and then smiled, looking a little helpless, his expression still gentle.

It's just that his eyes are really sharp at this moment.

When Wang Chao saw this look, his heart shivered slightly.

About half a month ago, he had seen such eyes.

It was the final of the Kangaroo Country Open, and Wang Chao specifically watched the video of that match.

In the game, the Dragons first won three consecutive cities, 3-0 Bay Island genius Lin Zijun, and then Lin Zijun began to fight frantically, and forcibly won a round from the Dragons.

When the total score became 3:1, Wang Chao saw the dragon team showing such eyes.

In the fifth game that followed, the Dragons began to fight back, suppressing Lin Zijun from the beginning to the end, until he collapsed, and finally scored a super high score of 11:2, including a serve suicide after Lin Zijun collapsed.

Wang Chao knew that Team Dragon was enraged.

In front of the TV, Qin Huachang, who had lost his composure, obviously also saw this scene.

As Sun Tianlong's mentor, he certainly knows Sun Tianlong better, so at this moment he "tsk", sighed, then shook his head and said, "Why bother? Really, why bother? Sigh..."

Wang Chao glanced at him, feeling that there was still a strong sense of pretense in Lao Qin's tone.

Do you think that the enraged Dragon Team will definitely defeat Luo Jiu?
Qin Huachang must be very confident, because as the person who knows Sun Tianlong's strength best, he may have seen the dragon team's extreme state.

But Wang Chao is not sure.

He remembered that Luo Jiu had told himself that he had entered an unprecedentedly high level.

But at that time, Wang Chao wanted to say that this might not be a truly unprecedented state.

Because obviously, it is also possible for Sun Tianlong to advance to this realm.

It's just that Sun Tianlong has been undefeated for seven years, and he rarely encounters setbacks. There is no opponent who can stimulate his potential to the extreme, which makes him always a little bit away from that realm.

But today, Luo Jiu really pushed Sun Tianlong to the limit...

Even luck is on Luo Jiu's side.

In the second ball of the first game, Sun Tianlong took the lead in calculations, and finally lost to his own netball.

In the last two balls of the second round, Sun Tianlong made a rare big move, but Luo Jiu used a gamble to count them and won them directly.

Is this God's will not wanting me to win?
Then I want to win for you to see.

Wang Chao also moved a chair, moved closer to the TV, and formed an angle with Qin Huachang, surrounding the TV in the middle, intending to see every detail clearly at such a close distance.

For some reason, he was faintly excited, and felt that the blood in his body was faintly boiling because of the upcoming battle.

Sun Tianlong has a reason to win.

He gave up the health ball and struggled with injuries. He wanted to win the double-lap Grand Slam before his body completely collapsed, and he wanted to win a real record of victory in the last year and a half of his career.

He is fighting for the future and health, and the price he paid is too high, so he must get enough fruits of victory.

He does not accept any defeat.

Luo Jiu also had a reason to win.

Since he entered the table tennis world, he has always wanted to win the highest honor of the Grand Slam.He was recognized by countless people as "the most talented in the world", and Cai Guodong placed high hopes on him to be trained as Sun Tianlong's successor, but today, the answer sheet he handed in can only be described as embarrassing.

He is optimistic on the surface, laughing and joking, but is he not lost in his heart?
The enemy in his mind should be Sun Tianlong, but in the past seven years, he has lost to Xiao Fei, Lin Li, and Bai Feng one after another. In the last few games, he even lost to players from foreign associations.

Even the opportunity to participate in the Asian Cup was given to him by his direct competitor Lin Li.

Because of this, his teacher owed Qin Huachang another favor.

He knew why it was Lin Li who gave up the spot and not Sun Tianlong.

Because Cai Guodong doesn't trust him and doesn't believe that he can win the championship, he must send Sun Tianlong to cover the bottom line to ensure that the Asian Cup champion will go to Huaping.

So when he finished the two games yesterday and met Sun Tianlong in the final, the task assigned to him by Huaping has been completed.

In the plan of the coaching staff, he only needs to be defeated by Sun Tianlong logically, and this trip to the Asian Cup will be considered a complete success.

But Luo Jiu didn't think so.

He wants to win.

The important thing is not this small Asian Cup champion, but "beating Sun Tianlong".

He has been aggrieved for too long, and now that the seven-year dormant period has expired, and he has finally achieved a great technological transformation, it is time to soar into the sky, to wash away the countless stigmas imposed on him by countless fans in the past seven years for himself and his teacher.

"Junior brother can complete super evolution at a critical moment and defeat Zhu Ding, why can't I defeat Sun Tianlong?"

"Today, in front of everyone, I will slay the dragon and confer the gods!"

　Thanks to "Good Dragon Boy" for the reward of 5000 coins.

　　Thanks for the 222 coin reward from "Stay Less on the Road".

　　Thanks for the reward of 100 coins from "King's Triumph".
