Ping Pong Life

Chapter 380 The Choice to Die
In the third game, Fan Xiaodong continued to attack the whole court, playing very proactively, like a bull that could not die, but the final score was 11:6. Although the score in the single game rebounded, he still lost again.

By this time, everyone could see that Fan Xiaodong's situation was over.

Everyone thought that Fan Xiaodong would be a more difficult player to deal with than Bai Feng and Lin Li, but in fact, there was no suspense from the beginning to the end of the game. Wang Chao took the lead from the first ball of the first game to the end .

This confuses many foreign fans.

"Did Fan Xiaodong let the ball go?"

"Or is he too young, and when he meets an opponent he has lost before, his mentality is out of balance?"

"Or, is it because of the change of the head coach that the strength has declined?"

The last sentence also sparked some debate among the fans, because there are actually a lot of Sun Tianlong fans in the world. These fans cannot accept the argument that "Sun Tianlong took Fan Xiaodong out of power", even if reason tells them , Qin Huachang is most likely a better coach than Sun Tianlong, but emotionally they still have to fight for the god in their hearts.

But Sun Tianlong, who is the center of the controversy, is actually very calm, and He Jingping, who is sitting next to him, is also very calm.

Lao He didn't pretend this time, but was really calm, because from the very beginning, both he and Sun Tianlong thought that Wang Chao would win.

Only foreigners who don't know how to do it will think that Bai Feng and Lin Li are out of date, but in fact, the old players who have been in the main team of Huaping for seven years will always be stronger than outsiders imagine.

This kind of strength may not be manifested in a certain specific technology or talent, but in many inconspicuous places such as the thickness of technical reserves and the thickness of field experience.

In the past year, the reason why old players have frequently lost the chain is not because their skills have really declined, but because many super talents have really risen in the world table tennis world.

It is others who have become stronger, not they who have become weaker.

But are these super geniuses necessarily stronger than Huaping veterans?In fact, it is not necessarily true, but when newcomers make their debut, everyone is generally tolerant. Once they achieve results, everyone subconsciously cheers and overestimates them.

Just like what Qin Huachang said to Huaping veteran Jiao Qu during the live broadcast before, it is really more than objective achievements. Lin Zijun, Pique and Hu Ke, the honors they have won this year are not higher than Huaping veterans.

Lin Li and Bai Feng also had a large number of semi-finals and quarter-finals. Xiao Fei even won the Open Championship once. Is this result really bad?
Players like Pique are even forcibly overestimated, because England is too lacking in results, and Europe also needs a shot in the arm, so Pique has just risen, and the world has started to boast, but in fact he is only a highlight He was beaten once, and then he was beaten violently, until he was beaten into retreat for several months. He returned this time in July, but was defeated by Fan Xiaodong again, and he didn't even make it to the semi-finals.

Back to the game.

Fan Xiaodong's strength is not inferior to Lin Li's, but he is not as good as Lin Li in terms of attacking experience alone, because he only has violence and simple line changes. However, Lin Li can produce various detailed changes on the same forehand burst, different rotations, different forward thrusts, and various formulas that make it difficult for Wang Chao to judge accurately.

This is the uniqueness of veterans. During their long combat careers, they will definitely realize some things on their own that are difficult for others to imitate.

Therefore, when fighting Lin Li and Wang Chao, it took a lot of effort to limit the opponent's attack, because he really couldn't stop him.

When playing against Fan Xiaodong, Wang Chao only needs to control the quality of his return to a certain passing line, and then he can allow Fan Xiaodong to attack at will.

Because on this line, the success rate of Fan Xiaodong's attack is not high, even if the attack is successful, Wang Chao can block it.

After another 8 minutes, the fourth game ended and Wang Chao won 11:7.

Looking at the specific statistics, Fan Xiaodong scored more points in each round than the last round, as if the more he played, the better he played. He has been fighting hard all the time, playing for fun rather than winning or losing. He was fully active at the end of the fight, feeling hot, and hit a lot of unreasonable shots that Wang Chao couldn't guard against.

On the overall technical and tactical level, he was still completely restrained by Wang Chao.

If Wang Chao's victory over Bai Feng was based on strategic countermeasures, and his victory over Lin Li was based on limiting offense, then when he beat Fan Xiaodong, he could be considered to have made a difference in overall strength.

Fan Xiaodong's attack was very fierce, but Wang Chao could stop it.

Wang Chao's attack was not too fierce, but Fan Xiaodong couldn't stop it.

What Hou said at the beginning of La Liga was correct: this is a battle of spears and shields, and the outcome depends on who can stop the opponent and who can penetrate the opponent.

Another 4:0, the world table tennis world no longer knows whether to be numb or amazed by this. In short, Wang Chao has not lost a game from the beginning to the end of this Open. The super-evolved Lin Zijun.

The moment the game was over, countless articles and videos burst out on table tennis-related websites around the world.

During this period of time, the popularity of the mixed doubles has far surpassed that of other sports, but at this moment, the topic of Wang Chao vs. Lin Zijun completely overwhelmed the topic of Tang Dynasty vs. Sakura Kingdom.

Because not many people are optimistic about Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hanna in mixed doubles, but quite a lot of people in men's singles are optimistic about Lin Zijun.

"Can there be another 4:0?"

"Will Wang Chao be able to fight against Super God, keep the mixed doubles and men's singles games, and win the double event?"

"Crap, you still won the championship. It's hard to say whether he can beat Lin Zijun."

"Go and watch the first match of Lin Zijun's fight against Hooker. Now Lin Zijun is terrifying like a pervert. Who can break through that kind of inhuman speed and inhuman defensive ability?"

"The strongest defense in history + the strongest speed in history, against the strongest technology in history + the strongest mind in history, the greatest battle of this century is about to begin."

"Looking forward to Lin Zijun's reverse zero-block Wang Chao, achieving the first championship in his career, and opening the road to becoming the king of the Great Demon King of the Foreign Association."

"My classmate Elizabeth has ALS and is dying soon. She said that she hopes to see the first big devil in the field of table tennis in history before she completely loses her ability to think."

It can be seen from this that no matter Chinese or foreigners, there is usually a friend who has a strange terminal illness and has a strange wish.

Of course, there are others whose focus is in another direction.

"By the way, did you find out one thing... Sun Tianlong's first show as a coach was completely messed up. Under his guidance, Lin Li and Fan Xiaodong had their heads shaved consecutively, and they didn't win a single game."

"Haha, it really is."

"Coach Qin Huachang cried and fainted in the live broadcast room."

"No, no, coach Qin Huachang has already broadcasted it, so he is the real big prophet of Huaping. He doesn't need to watch it, he already knows the result. Although he didn't speak, he used practical actions to advance the plot again for us. through."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that there would be a Huachui among us. Let's learn about spinach poison and bankrupt."

……

Master Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong returned to the hotel together.

The game was played peacefully, completely different from Bai Feng's tense and gunpowder atmosphere, because Bai Feng wanted to compete for an Olympic spot, and Fan Xiaodong had no desires or desires.

The problem is that Fan Xiaodong is too free and easy. He chatted with Wang Chao with a smile, and the conversation was about the things he just lost. This made Sun Tianlong, a new coach, a little depressed. After all, although he is not afraid of Fan Xiaodong being suppressed , but what he hopes is that Fan Xiaodong will become more courageous as he gets frustrated.

The more frustrated the more courageous, the most important thing is the word "frustrated". For example, Sun Tianlong was hanged and beaten by Wang Wendong at the beginning. Every time he was hanged and beaten, he had to train hard for a while after training, thinking hard while training, improving and improving. Technology, in a sense, losing is a kind of motivation, which makes people grow and mature.

But if there is no "frustration" at all, it becomes lying flat.

So Sun Tianlong couldn't hold back after holding back for a long time, and said sideways: "Xiaodong, don't you feel depressed because you lost so badly?"

Fan Xiaodong nodded with a smile: "Brother Long, I'm very depressed."

Sun Tianlong was stunned, looking at his cheerful appearance, he didn't know what to say for a while, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't watch the game in the afternoon, I will practice with you."

"Ah?" Fan Xiaodong was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what he did wrong.

Wang Chao and He Jingping looked at each other, laughed out loud "poof", and then quickly held back.

Fan Xiaodong was at a loss because he was really simple.

But Wang Chao and He Jingping knew very well that Sun Tianlong probably wanted to beat Fan Xiaodong to death this afternoon.

After all, Coach Sun is not good at rhetoric, and he doesn't have so many plots and schemes. The only thing he can do is to be serious.

"It doesn't matter if you were beaten 4-0 by Wang Chao, right? Are you smiling? All right, then I'll do it myself and beat you to doubt your life. I want to see if you can still smile."

"If others can't make you feel this frustration, then I, the head coach, will come in person."

It has to be said that this teaching method is probably only used by Sun Tianlong in the entire coaching staff.

Take a break at noon to recharge your batteries. Needless to say, at 01:30 pm local time, Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan entered the arena together to meet their last pair of mixed doubles opponents.

Thousands of miles away, Qin Huachang, who had already been itching and suffering, finally got his son's permission, and couldn't wait to reopen the live broadcast room.

As soon as he started broadcasting, the number of people in the live broadcast room of Da Ma Ge and Hou Xijia dropped to one-tenth.

At this moment, Hou Xijia finally understood that the game between Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong, whether he was right or wrong, was not as important as he thought.

Because anchor Qin is going to go online after all.

As soon as he went online, all the popularity he had worked so hard to accumulate was forfeited.

Big brother is more joyful here.

Because he is a big fan of Wang Chao, and there are some parts of Wang Chao's games that Qin Huachang can't comment on, but Wang Chao's popularity is extremely high.

So Brother Da Ma has decided to study Wang Chao in private, trying to find a new way in a field that Qin Huachang would not be involved in, and make his live broadcast room a stronghold of Wang Chao's die-hard fans.

As for Ye Hongye, he is very cheap.

Today, instead of being a guest, he went to Hou Xijia's live broadcast room to watch the excitement. Seeing this, he suddenly found that Hou Xijia was in a low mood.

So, as Big Brother's partner, he decided to add insult to injury, composing a poem on the spot and posting it on the barrage.

And because he was afraid that La Liga and other audiences would not be able to see his masterpiece, he chose to send a rocket first to make his barrage red and eye-catching.

Poetry:

In the past, spoilers were a sacred thing, anchor Qin was on one side, and Wang Chao was on the other.

Later, spoilers were a common thing, anchor Qin was on one side, and Lin Zijun was on the other.

But now, spoilers are a shameful thing, anchor Hou is on one side, and Fan Xiaodong is on the other.

……

Wang Chao stood in front of the stage, holding a small ball in his hand.

At this moment, the auditorium was filled with murmurs of laughter, because the Tang Dynasty group failed to guess the coin again and were forced to win the right to serve.

Regarding Wang Chao's World Series, guessing coins has become more and more a meme.

So at this moment, Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hannah's expressions were not good.

What they are facing is most likely the strongest mixed doubles team in history, and at this moment they are lucky to guess the coin successfully, which makes them easily think of this trick, and judge from this, they probably really can't beat the opponent .

The impact of this psychological suggestion is even greater than the actual advantage obtained by successful coin guessing.

In the end, they chose to let Hayata Hannah take over Wang Chao's serve.

This decision made the audience amazed again.

In fact, in the past few games, both Yichuan Mima and Che Songxin suffered extremely heavy blows because they took the initiative to catch Wang Chao's ball.

After Che Songxin's doubtful life after being beaten, the world table tennis world basically believed that no female player could really match up with Wang Chao.

Maybe you think you can, but as long as you really try, you will find that you can't.

So before today's game, no matter how the world table tennis world predicts the ball, how to open the market to set the odds, how to deduce the progress of the first game, everyone will assume that the first game will be Zhang Benkuang who will pick up Wang Chao ball.

But in the end, the No. [-] seed combination of Sakura Country made a decision that surprised the whole world.

"Do you really not believe in evil?"

"Is this really the way to die?"

"I know this Hayata Hannah, she's a pretty good player, and she's well-known in the women's table tennis circles in Sakura's country, but I don't think she's better than Cha Songxin from Jindalee, and I don't think she can really handle the king overtake."

"Hehe, I probably know that I can't win in a normal fight, so I enlarged my move."

Far away in Yangcheng City, Guangdong Province, Qin Huachang was not in a hurry. He slowly let the bullet screen float for a while, and waited for everyone's exclamation to be expressed, before he said slowly: "I don't think the choice of Sakura Country is right. wrong."

This is called not surprising words endlessly.

When the whole world thought that the Sakura Country was wrong, Qin Huachang wanted to say that they were right.

But no one felt that he was grandstanding, because when he spoke, the audience's first reaction was not to criticize, but to ask him "why".

This is compulsion.

He took a sip of the tea, closed his eyes and savored it carefully, then swallowed it.

In fact, the same picture was used by Ye Hongye in Da Ma Ge’s live broadcast room a few months ago. In terms of appearance, temperament and tea taste, Ye Hongye is far better than Qin Huachang, but the difference is that Qin Huachang is A real boss, but Ye Hongye is a fake boss.

So when Ye Hongye tasted tea, it was a wave of ridicule, while Qin Huachang's tea taste was greeted with a wave of extremely fierce gifts.

"I only have one point of view." Qin Huachang did not disappoint them: "The combination of Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hannah is completely different from the general mixed doubles. Do you know why Zhang Benkuang changed partners? It's absolutely true. Is it because the speed flow method doesn't work?"

"Not really."

"If it's just that the speed is not popular, why not just change the style of play? Yamano Mia is one of the top women's singles players in Sakura Country. In terms of personal strength, she is not inferior to Hayata Hanna. She feels pretty good. , can completely transform and play control."

"Then the answer is obvious. Hayata Hanna must be much better than Yamano Mia."

"what is it then?"

"It's height, it's strength."

"Miya Yamano is small, but Hannah Hayata is over 1.7 meters tall, comparable to male players, with a fierce style of play, open and close."

"Although Zhang Benkuang is a male player, he is only 15 years old this year and his body is thin. His absolute strength is seriously insufficient, and he is not as good as some strong female players. Therefore, in the mixed doubles, he cannot afford the offensive position, because he The forehand doesn't kill anyone, and he knows it himself."

"So, in this pair, Hayata Hannah is the real main attacker. She is female, but she takes on the tasks of a male player in the group."

"Look at it now, is it reasonable for Hayata Hannah to catch Wang Chao's ball?"

"Let our male player catch the opponent's male player's ball, this is the standard answer about receiving and serving in mixed doubles."
