Ping Pong Life

Chapter 415 The difficulty of civil war is as difficult as reaching the sky

After the game, Bai Feng was very excited. He ran around the half court crazily, raised his arms and roared again and again, using it to vent the complicated emotions accumulated in his heart during this period, while Luo Jiu on the other end laughed out of embarrassment , exited the scene in a dingy manner, found a stool to sit down, buried his head in the sweat towel, like an ostrich.

In fact, Luo Jiu played the ball without any problems. The forehand loop and backhand rebound were both in place. He was very active in attacking and running, and he also hit several exquisite shots.

But the problem is that Bai Feng went crazy.

This kind of situation often exists in the civil wars of Huaguo's main force. Usually, although there is not much difference in strength between the two players, the slightly stronger side can firmly suppress the slightly weaker side. This is because at this level, Everyone's performance is too stable. If I am a little bit better than you, I can guarantee that I will beat you by a little bit in every ball, so I score every ball. At the end of the day, the score is a huge gap.

But this balance can easily be broken, because once your performance is slightly worse and your state is slightly worse, and the opponent starts to explode, then the opponent may beat you by a little bit with every ball, and score every ball. In the last look, It is the opponent who crushes you.

Luo Jiu was a little careless this time. This kind of carelessness definitely cannot be regarded as underestimating the enemy. It is impossible for him to carefully study every opponent before the game, and he must learn to adapt to the situation and fight protracted battles one after another relying on instinct.

In this case, the real competition is not the player's best condition, but the player's endurance, and the ability to fight fatigue, plus a little bit of luck.

So what everyone is comparing is not the upper limit, but the lower limit.

In this case, the physical players have regained a little advantage, because their brains usually move less and are not affected, while the brains of the mental players can't bear this level of consumption at all, and they can only use it later. Hit instinctively.

Of course, Luo Jiu kept the more important reason in his heart and didn't tell anyone.

In fact, he has studied Wang Chao more recently...

Although he is a brother of the same discipline, Luo Jiu knows very well that his biggest enemy is Sun Tianlong in this year's Olympic men's singles, but if he wants to win the Grand Slam in the long run, his biggest enemy will be It will be the younger brother Wang Chao.

The biggest obstacle in winning the World Table Tennis Championships is Wang Chao.

Luo Jiu is full of ambition and wants to directly achieve the Grand Slam this year. He wants both the World Table Tennis Championship gold medal and the Olympic men's singles gold medal. He hopes to take these two gold medals to the old Fan's family to propose marriage, and marry Fan Xiaoxian in a beautiful way. , to fulfill this agreement that has been delayed for many years.

Fan Xiaoxian couldn't afford to wait any longer, she would be an old lady if she waited any longer.

He can't afford to lose, and if he loses again, he will be hated to death by his future father-in-law.

He has a reason to win.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the through match, we must first get rid of Wang Chao.

Assuming that all his energy is one stone, then at least seven fights have been consumed on Wang Chao, and the remaining three fights will be divided equally among the other players, so that the rain and dew will be evenly shared. In this way, he basically relies on instinct to fight Baifeng. The ball is a matter of course.

Having said that, although there were many upsets, the players generally expressed that they had a good mentality and were not affected.

Because it's perfectly normal to be upset in the straight-through competition. If you don't get [-] or [-] upsets in the previous straight-through competition, it is simply not normal.

Why do you like to watch the through race?

It was obviously just a World Table Tennis Championship qualifier, but it was even more lively than the World Table Tennis Championship itself. Why?
Isn't it because everyone can see the upset.

The one-year coldness of Huaping's foreign wars can't compare to the four-day coldness of this through match.

Waiting until the afternoon to fight again, still unpopular.

Ma Angxing killed Liang Kunpeng, which was slightly cold.

Liang Kunpeng killed Zhu Ding, which belonged to Xiao Leng.

Zhu Ding showed his power again and wiped out Bai Feng, who was in high morale, which was a big cold.

Luo Jiu lost to Fan Xiaodong again, which was a shocking upset.

After the final game, even the Huaping coaching staff was a little shocked, because all the coaches headed by Cai Guodong acquiesced in Luo Jiu's participation in the Olympic men's singles at the end of the year. As a result, Luo Jiu got two big upsets a day. Could it be us Did you miss it?

Could it be that Luo Jiu still has some fatal flaws?
Fortunately, Luo Jiu later proved his strength.

He killed Wang Chao.

Yes, you read that right, the brothers faced each other for the first time this year. In a not-so-important head-to-head confrontation within the team, Luo Jiu defeated Wang Chao cleanly 4:1.

This game is not unpopular, because it is normal for either of these two to win or lose, but this game is definitely the most influential game since the start of the game today, far surpassing Luo Jiu's shocking loss to Fan Xiaodong Big upset.

Because before today, everyone had guessed countless times about the relationship between the two brothers.

It cannot be said that Wang Chao played badly in this game, because he was as stable as ever, and he spent money on various skills as before, and played many wonderful multi-rounds with Luo Jiu as always, but on many key shots, In the end, the game was short and lost.

But many die-hard fans of Wang Chao feel that Wang Chao has not shown his true strength.

It's not because these fans have such profound insights and astonishing vision, but because in their impression, Wang Chao will definitely be able to come up with something that catches people's eyes when he encounters a strong opponent. Didn't come up with new tricks at the end.

He lost for good reason.

The fans felt that "Wang Chao's loss was very reasonable", this matter is very unreasonable.

"A unparalleled boy who doesn't know how to make a living is not a complete unparalleled boy." Brother Da Ma bluntly said in the live broadcast room: "I think he must be hiding his tricks."

Ye Hongye, a regular guest who has remained unchanged for thousands of years, let out a chuckle from the side: "You think too much... the strength of athletes is fixed, where do they come from so many tricks? Facing outsiders, he can still catch the opponent by surprise , but Luo Jiu and him are brothers from the same school, and they know each other well, so they are very familiar with each other, do you think he can really hide some shocking tricks?"

So Brother Big Ma squinted at him: "What are you eating this time?"

Ye Hongye chuckled: "The monitor, the keyboard, why not add this fan in my hand?"

Ye Hongye is very proud, because last time when Wang Chao beat Xiao Fei, he uttered harsh words. When Wang Chao was beaten by Xiao Fei in a 7-0 climax, he swore that if Wang Chao lost, he would kill the monitor and The keyboard was eaten together. After saying this, countless audiences in the live broadcast room laughed, waiting to see him choke himself to death, but in the end Wang Chao showed his unparalleled talent at the god level and made a comeback. Ye Hongye earned a lot of fame because of it. In the live broadcast room of Da Ma Ge, he has become a unique existence that is more popular than the anchor himself.

The audience said that Brother Da Ma is a fake fan of Wushuang Boy, and Ye Hongye is the real fan of Wushuang Boy, but Ye Hongye is very good at pretending, and he said seriously: "No, I am a rational fan of Wushuang Boy."

The audience was amazed.

Brother Da Ma mentioned eating again today, which is considered to be taking the initiative to give Ye Hongye another wave of fame, and the picture is naturally the next gift.

In the outside world, the video of the ball was quickly posted on the Internet, and then spread all over the world.

In fact, Up, who made this video, was making the video of Fan Xiaodong defeating Luo Jiu at that time. After hearing the news that Luo Jiu defeated Wang Chao, he put the unfinished video aside and hurried to finish it. After finishing the game that happened after the game, he turned around and continued to play Fan Xiaodong's game.

Fan Xiaodong didn't know about it, so he didn't need to cry to death in the toilet, so no one was hurt in this world.

……

Wang Chao will play six games today.

The 12-person double-loop, for each player, is 22 games. After four days of playing, then there are two five games and two six games.

Looking at this data alone, is it much less than when Wang Chao played in the internal cycle of the Jiangcheng team?
But don't forget, the level of the opponent is different, and the difficulty of the game is different.

The current Wang Chao city team players can fight dozens of players a day, because they don't need to use their brains, as long as their physical strength can keep up, they can come and kill a few.

Even if he plays all the players of the second national team and the non-main players of the first national team, he can still play ten a day, because basic skills are enough.

But among the 11 people he needs to face, except for a very few fish belly, the rest are all extremely nerve-wracking tough bones.

Opponents like Lin Li and Bai Feng, don't think that Wang Chao just hits them casually because he doesn't block them every time.In fact, Wang Chao was able to keep a clean sheet at that time because he carefully prepared every game, made various psychological preparations, and guessed the opponent's various play styles in advance.

Don't forget that since the German Open, Wang Chao has taken the initiative to return to the trajectory of a pure athlete. He no longer watches the excitement everywhere, let alone analyzes games that have nothing to do with him. He devotes all his attention to studying his next The competition itself shows how much he attaches importance to Lin Li and Bai Feng.

It is not an exaggeration to say that against opponents like Bai Feng and Lin Li, it took a whole day to prepare, but it was just enough.

Fighting Fan Xiaodong also takes a day to prepare.

Zou Zhengyu, Lu Feiyang, Liang Kunpeng, and Ma Angxing, these four may be a little weaker, but young players like Lu Feiyang and Ma Angxing may admire each other after a few days of seeing each other. Now that they haven't played against each other for a few months, how dare Wang Chao take it lightly?

As for Zhu Ding's completely unpredictable behavior, it gave Wang Chao a headache even thinking about it.

Not to mention there is someone like Qi Hao who is more unpredictable than Zhu Ding...

Wang Chao really hoped that Qi Hao would still be a rookie, but the problem was that Qi Hao killed Lin Li as soon as he came up, and he immediately sounded the alarm for all the players.

Not to mention Luo Jiu, the recognized strongest player in the through competition.

So Brother Da Ma guessed that Wang Chao was hiding his tricks, which was both right and wrong.

He said "yes" because Wang Chao really didn't use his full strength. He had already formulated the basic principles of this through game before the game: under the premise of his ability, make a good choice and try to ensure as many victories as possible.

Therefore, instead of doing everything possible to study Luo Jiu, it is better to study the other players first.

It is difficult to study Luo Jiu, but it is not so difficult to study other players.

After all, the final choice in this through competition is the top five, not No.1.

Therefore, it is a reasonable and correct strategy to ensure that the points enter the top five before considering other things.

The reason for saying "no" is because Wang Chao really didn't have any extra moves. He used all his methods, but in the end, Luo Jiu's comprehensive strength was indeed higher than his, and he resolved all his offensive methods. He had no choice but to be defeated helplessly.

The first day of the through race came to an end at 07:30 p.m. Beijing time, a full hour and a half later than the originally expected time. This is because several games today were exhausted. Fight, and finally hit the decisive game.

The top players of Huaping generally have quite good physical fitness and game experience. They usually win cleanly and neatly, but usually lose in muddle. They are very good at delaying time when they are at a disadvantage, and they are also very good at changing strategies. Such changes and persistence will make their game time very long, far longer than the average time of international games.

The longest game today was between Lu Feiyang and Zou Zhengyu, who played a total of 110 minutes.

The former is the current main force of Huaping, while the latter is the former main force of Huaping. The chances of these two people entering the top five are very slim, so they cherish every game they have a chance to win. In this game, The two sides played seven rounds, and the scores in each round were very close. In the middle of the game, the two even exhausted all kinds of delaying methods. Until the final round was tied at 12:12, it was still completely unclear who would win.

In the end, it was Zou Zhengyu who had the last laugh with a more calm mind. After winning the last ball, he was completely paralyzed, lying on the ground without even wanting to move his fingers.

The coaching staff is still very humane at this time, making an exception and giving him half an hour to rest.

In short, at the end of the day, summarizing the current points situation surprised everyone, because there were actually four people tied for first place, namely Wang Chao, Zhu Ding, Fan Xiaodong and Qi Hao, all of whom lost only one game.

Luo Jiu, who was unanimously favored by everyone before the match, didn't even get the tie for first place, because he lost consecutively to Bai Feng and Fan Xiaodong.

Of course, this result is not accurate, because the first round of the big cycle has not even been completed.

But from this list that surprised everyone, it can also be seen how difficult Huaping's civil war is, and it is really difficult to reach the sky.

That night, some of the contestants chose to practice more after dinner, and some chose to go to bed early to recharge their batteries. Although Pengcheng in August was very lively, with a lot of food, more beauties, and cool clothes, no one had Interested to go out and have a look.

It was a very quiet night.

At 08:30 the next morning, the fierce battle kicked off again, and the upset followed.

On the first table, Ma Angxing held on to the score in a passive situation where the audience was suppressed, and defeated Lu Feiyang. Even the commentator Qin Huachang publicly praised: "This kid has an extraordinary heart. Although his talent is a little weak, he will become a great weapon in the future .”

After hearing this, Wang Lu was the happiest, because Qin Huachang's evaluation was like an insurance policy for Ma Angxing, proving that he was not mistaken.

On the second table, Wang Chao played until the seventh round before finally defeating Qi Hao.

Brother Da Ma and Ye Hongye jointly commented on this ball. The two were hoarse and almost climaxed in public. The reason was that the ball was so beautiful. In the super defense mode, although the speed is not so fast and there are many mistakes, but what he has shown is already very exciting.

Facts have proved that the current Qi Hao is indeed very strong. His attack power is extremely vigorous and full of surprises. Many of his attacks are between "reasonable balls" and "irrational balls", which belong to Zhu Zeshi. Qi Hao's unique offensive routine tailored to his personal characteristics.

After Wang Chao joined Huaping, Zhu Zeshi, who had always been mediocre, finally showed his true strength through Qihao at this moment.

The leader of the rich family is well-deserved.

It turns out that what Zhu Zeshi is really good at is tailor-made personal stunts, which actually means that he has a very rich imagination, and has extremely large and rigorous theoretical knowledge, which can turn all kinds of fantasies into possibilities.

He once worked with Xiao Fei to create the super unique skill of boa constrictor turning over, and now, in just a few months, he helped Qihao come up with a whole set of offensive styles that seemed unreasonable, even if this system seemed It was still a bit rough, and Qi Hao also had some problems with the rhythm when using it, not smooth enough, but the suddenness and huge power still made Wang Chao, who was in contact with it for the first time, quite flustered, and was killed through the defense line many times.

In fact, Lin Li was crushed 4-0 yesterday morning precisely because he was extremely uncomfortable with Qi Hao's special style of play.

Does it look familiar again?

In fact, Xiao Fei's three tricks back then were also in the same tune. When you are not familiar with it, you really can't stop it, and when you block it, he can't do anything.

Qihao wins now because everyone doesn't adapt to him. Only after he is adapted in the future can he see how far he can go. Only then can he see his true strength.

But there is no doubt that Qi Hao has already become the top five favorites in this direct match to Budapest, Hungary.

The game continues.

Before the end of the morning session, another big battle caused a sensation: Bai Feng narrowly beat Lin Li 4:3.

I still remember the Brazil Open a month ago, when Lin Li defeated Bai Feng 4:3 and walked in front of Wang Chao. Now the time has passed and the situation has reversed, but it was Bai Feng who defeated Lin Li.

These two are the veteran main players of Huaping. Every time they meet, sparks hit the earth. They fight passionately and punch to the flesh. They all brought their own brains.

Lin Li did not emphasize the strength of the veneer. Instead, he strengthened the changes of rotation and line change. Bai Feng also reversed the tough guy style of "the strong must fight" in the past. The way the chip is handled, even played a few side cuts in the middle, but the effect is average.

These details show that the two main players are still constantly seeking new ideas and changes. In this world of Huaping's infighting to the death, they have deeply realized through the tragic losses in the past few months that now You must change yourself.

To remain unchanged is to die.

Therefore, face, figure, style, characteristics, and ideas are not important. The important thing is to keep up with this magnificent era, suppress the young players who are ready to move, and continue to sit firmly in the chairs of the main Huaping team. Go up, sit on the chair, and crush the juniors to death.

Wang Chao also lost his second game this morning, against Fan Xiaodong.

Yes, he lost to Fan Xiaodong.

Although Fan Xiaodong has shortcomings such as "simple play style" and "slow heat", but he is definitely a true super genius. This kind of character, as long as you are a little negligent when playing, you may turn him over.

This is the case with Wang Chao.

He just subconsciously wanted to be lazy, to recover the stamina and energy that had been exhausted by Qi Hao just now, but in the end he stumbled at Fan Xiaodong.

When the game score was 3:1 behind, Wang Chao had already realized that something was wrong, and he was trying his best to catch up, but at this time Fan Xiaodong felt hot and his body was already alive, and because he was playing Wang Chao, his whole body was in a state of explosion. The actual combat state increased by three points compared to usual, and the terrifying coercion just made Wang Chao, who was still a little tired, unable to survive.

So it's still the same sentence, the difficulty of the Huaping civil war is really as difficult as reaching the sky.
