Ping Pong Life

Chapter 432 The Only Correct Model

After the timeout, the game continues.

Luo Jiu directly steals the long serve.

This level of sneak attack is of course useless to Lin Zijun who has super speed, but at this moment Lin Zijun's mentality is completely different from before.

The usual method should be to attack directly, but his method in the first two rounds was a simple fast play, but now Lin Zijun feels that these two methods are wrong.

Because of his lack of offensive power, the rotation and placement changes he can create are not very meaningful in front of a character like Luo Jiu, and if he is fast, it is more like actively feeding the opponent.

He already knew that Luo Jiu would launch a crazy attack on him regardless of everything.

He is not afraid, but has a faint anticipation in his nervousness, because since he completed the super-evolution in July, he has been looking forward to someone who will fight with him in a real strong attack, but he waited two days. In the past six months, no one has ever dared to show strength in front of him without any scruples, whether it was training camps in three places, or those small competitions in the Bay Island Province, or even the occasional exhibition games.

Everyone was horrified by the way he beat Hook in July.

But at this time, Lin Zijun still didn't lose his mind. While he was full of anticipation and passion, he kept admonishing himself: You can let the opponent attack, but you can't actively give the opponent the opportunity to attack.

why?
Because looking for offensive opportunities itself consumes energy, brainpower and physical strength, and the top professional players in table tennis must constantly calculate, constantly pull, and constantly calculate every little detail. consumption.

He is 18 years old this year, and Luo Jiu is 27 years old this year. Although Luo Jiu is not too old, don't forget that today's game was played for such a long time, with an average of more than 20 rounds per ball. When it comes to the final game, I am afraid that the total time will be two hours. The later the time, the more prominent the factors of physical strength and energy will be.

When you are exhausted, even if you have perfect tactics and techniques, you can only be defeated by me by brute force.

Lin Zijun took precautions and decided to delay Luo Jiu's attack as much as possible.

He chose to take a step back, turned his wrist over, adopted the standard posture commonly used by chippers, and sliced ​​the ball back steadily with the back of the racket.

The friction of Super Luo’s racket is better than most of the rackets on the market, so the backspin of this ball is extremely strong. In addition, players of Luo Jiu’s level will definitely not serve with pure backspin, but will definitely bring There was some side spin, so Lin Zijun could only slice the ball towards the center of the opposite table. He hoped to let the ball land as close to the center of the table as possible, but in the end the ball landed on the backhand center.

This degree of error is completely acceptable, Lin Zijun doesn't think Luo Jiu will rush to attack.

After all, the back of Luo Jiu's racket is made of raw rubber particles. This kind of rubber cannot be twisted backhand, because it cannot carry the ball.

But Luo Jiu's posture was the standard backhand twisting posture. He took half a step forward without hesitation, propelling his body forward and raising his elbow.

"He's cheating on me."

"He must be cheating on me."

"I have studied all his game videos in the last six months, and I have never seen him twist the ball with backhand rubber."

"No, the correct statement should be that it is impossible for raw rubber particles to twist into a ball."

"Even if the ball doesn't spin, it can't be twisted, not to mention the ball I sliced ​​has a strong backspin."

Lin Zijun gritted his teeth, subconsciously spread his legs a few inches more than usual, and his lower body became more stable. He stared at Luo Jiu's clapping hands, and felt that every inch of his body was tense at this moment, even Stimulated by this unknown strong pressure, the scalp felt a little tingling like electric shock.

He has a strong urge to step back, which is the instinct of human beings before they sense danger.

But reason told him that Luo Jiu could not do such an unreasonable thing, if he really quit, he would be fooled.

So he stubbornly resisted, not retreating half a step.

Don't think that his super speed can really keep up with all high speeds. After all, he is human, and he also has limits. Luo Jiu just played a backhand in front of him more than a minute ago. Flicking with all his strength, it was only then that Lin Zijun discovered how fast Luo Jiu's backhand was.

That is definitely a level faster than the peak Hook's forehand pull.

Everyone thinks that Hook's strength is the best in the world, so Hook's batting speed is also the first in the world, but this is wrong.

Because pulling the ball has spin after all, but the spin will slow down the speed of the ball, and the fastest way to hit the ball in the world is not pulling the ball, or even a hard forehand shot, but a backhand bounce.

Under the same strength, the backhand bounce is 30.00% faster than the forehand pull, which is fair.

On this basis, Luo Jiu optimized the rubber and hitting posture to make this speed 20.00% faster.

This 20.00% bonus represents the terrifying collective wisdom of the Huaping coaching staff, as well as decades of advanced research on table tennis technology.

Otherwise, why would Luo Jiu rely on his own attack to blow up Hu Ke on the premise that his strength is far inferior to Hu Ke?

Going back further, when Luo Jiu hadn't practiced with Hu Ke for more than a month, how did he directly beat Lin Li, who is known as the best veneer quality in Huaping, by relying on his backhand bounce?
So Lin Zijun could be said to be willful at this time, wanting to take a gamble, but it could even be said that this ball was a clear signal that Luo Jiu played the winning hand, it all depended on Lin Zijun's attitude.

Of course, Lin Zijun could step down unconditionally. In this case, at least in the current round, no matter how Luo Jiu hit him, he would not be able to kill him, but he would also be completely passive in the situation.

This kind of passivity may not be fatal. After all, he still has a super-speed defense mode, and there is a great possibility that he can use his strength to save the situation.

But it is undeniable that even if it is defense, your defense in a small passive situation must be easier than that in a very passive situation.

Luo Jiu had already made it clear that he was going to explode in an all-round way, so Lin Zijun himself was not sure whether Lin Zijun would be able to stop him in an extremely passive situation.

Since I'm not sure, why should I let myself fall into extreme passivity?

You want to lie to me, but how can I be so easily intimidated?

Out of this kind of mentality, Lin Zijun refused to give up this little initiative, which was reflected in his actual actions, that is, he insisted on not taking this step back.

He was still staring at Luo Jiu's right hand holding the racket. He saw that the racket was already facing forward, as if to rub against the ball that was bouncing off the table.

Then Luo Jiu suddenly made an extremely abrupt little movement.

Most viewers don't notice this scene, it's very hidden, but it's not foul.

The racket in Luo Jiu's hand suddenly rotated at this moment, so the back of the racket became the front, and the red rubber changed into black rubber.

The International Table Tennis Federation has already clearly stipulated that all kinds of covered serves are not allowed. In order to prevent players from making actions that the opponent cannot observe at all during the game, they stipulate that the front and back rubber of the table tennis ball must use different colors. The regulation is to ensure a very simple fact: both sides of the game must be able to see all the small moves of the other side in theory. Only in this way can the game be fair and just.

Lin Zijun saw Luo Jiu's small movements.

So Luo Jiu's actions are very reasonable.

He just swapped the rubber side for the reverse side at the last moment before twisting the ball, and he did a pretty standard backhand twist.

This twist was heavy, but the speed of the ball was not fast, because Luo Jiu still put most of his power on the spin just like the ball he won just now.

Although in the minds of all professional players, the ball-spinning technique is based on the placement and speed as the first selling point, but facing Lin Zijun, he had to use this unconventional style of play.

Lin Zijun was very confused at this moment.

Although his nerve reaction speed and body movement speed are unparalleled in the world, this does not mean that his brain is also unparalleled in understanding things and accepting accidents. He saw Luo Jiu's movements and understood Luo Jiu's choice, but this It doesn't mean that he can switch his judgment method to another gear at this moment.

What's more, he has worked very hard to distinguish Luo Jiu's reverse rubber from the reverse. Every time he catches the ball, he has to estimate the rotation strength and flight trajectory of the ball. The glue was exchanged, and he felt like there were two balls of wool that had been untied in his mind, and at this moment they were suddenly ruthlessly mixed together.

He completely lost his judgment.

He subconsciously pushed the racket forward instinctively, and as a result, the ball spun wildly on the rubber of his racket, climbed upwards, and rushed fiercely into the sky.

Since he fought Luo Jiu, he has had a left spin and a right spin. This is the first time that he has had a solid top spin.

2:0, Luo Jiu scored another point.

The audience did not understand the ball, so the applause was not enthusiastic, because what they saw was that Lin Zijun suddenly lost his defensive spirit and simply ate the ball.

Jiang Peirong subconsciously stood up from the baffle, half-raised one hand, trying to call a timeout, but quickly put it down, realizing that Lin Zijun had already called a timeout just now.

"This is Huaping."

"This is Huaping..."

Jiang Peirong was a little desperate at this moment.

Of course, he also paid attention to Luo Jiu, and accompanied Lin Zijun to analyze Luo Jiu for a long time, but he and Lin Zijun devoted all their energy to studying Luo Jiu in the game video, but never expected that even if it has been recognized as Luo Jiu Luo Jiu, the number one attacker in the world, is still hiding his tricks.

This trick is a temporary change of face, which is actually not new. Many players have used it in the past.

But there is no doubt that Luo Jiu's sudden use in such a high-pressure and high-intensity environment, even if it is only a small change, is enough to completely mess up Lin Zijun's entire rhythm.

It was also at this time that he suddenly realized that in the past seven years, Luo Jiu had been using reverse glue for his backhand.

Although Luo Jiu changed the rubber and made technical improvements, the various techniques of using reverse rubber in his backhand position are still there.

He can switch at will from the beginning.

The reason why he didn't use it was because he couldn't use this trick to deal with other people.

The right to serve returned to Lin Zijun.

Lin Zijun's attitude became more serious, and he made a short backspin.

Luo Jiu swung short.

Lin Zijun swayed short.

Luo Jiu swings short again.

Lin Zijun swayed again.

Luo Jiu directly skimmed the bottom line of the backhand position.

Lin Zijun forced the ball back to the center and close to the point.

Luo Jiu quickly dialed the forehand, and dialed the ball to the bottom line of the forehand position.

Lin Zijun forced the ball back to the center and close to the point.

The situation became weird. Lin Zijun, who had been actively pursuing an offensive and defensive battle, seemed determined this time not to let Luo Jiu attack. His hand feeling was obviously not as good as Luo Jiu's, but when Luo Jiu took the initiative to break the situation, unexpectedly It was Lin Zijun who put the ball back again and again.

The audience couldn't understand this. Fortunately, the director was very professional. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the stalemate between the two sides, he actually split the big screen of the live broadcast into two halves. The left side continued the live broadcast, and the right side played back Luo Jiu completely in slow motion. The scene where he just changed faces.

Belated applause resounded throughout the venue at this moment.

"Oh my God!"

"So it is."

"In other words, is Lin starting to get scared?"

"Does Lin dare not let Luo Jiu attack?"

"But his super speed defensive mode, how can he win if the opponent doesn't attack?"

"Perhaps... Lin is planning to attack?"

The audience guessed right, Lin Zijun did have a new idea.

"I don't only know how to defend."

"That's right, my offense is not sharp enough, but before July this year, didn't I play a lot of good rounds with my offense?"

"It's not like I can't really kill people."

He caught an opportunity when Luo Jiu was rubbing the ball, launched an attack directly, stepped back from the stage and slammed a forehand.

This board used [-]% of the force.

At the moment of hitting the ball, he also suddenly figured out a truth: Luo Jiu is actually not as good as Hu Ke, at least, with his level of explosive charge, Hu Ke can directly rely on brute force to retreat and forcibly pull back, while Luo Jiu may not be able to do it, because he has neither the strength nor the speed of Hu Ke.

Lin Zijun's idea was right.

When he started to attack with all his strength, the nature of the game between the two sides changed from a relatively extreme offensive and defensive mode to a regular mode. Facing Lin Zijun's powerful burst, the only thing Luo Jiu could do was to retreat and pull the ball back. The ball arced very well. , but it can only be regarded as a defensive pair.

So Lin Zijun took a step forward and switched to a backhand internal speed twist.

Lin Zijun's backhand twist doesn't have so many changes, the only thing he pursues is one: extreme speed.

This is his biggest signature so far.

The ball was so twisted that Luo Jiu couldn't keep up. He had to take two steps back to catch the ball back, forming a high loop.

Lin Zijun didn't care about that much anymore, he gritted his teeth and punched with a forehand.

Luo Jiu still blocked the ball back, but he was a little embarrassed.

Lin Zijun gave another board.

Luo Jiu still blocked it.

Then Lin Zijun turned off the fire and chose to hang a near penalty kick, trying to hit Luo Jiu's gap.

However, Luo Jiu managed to catch up at the last moment, went around to the side of the table, and gently picked up the ball that had already fallen below the table, almost over the net and landed on the table.

Lin Zijun took a step forward, cheering up Yu Yong, and charged again with his forehand. This time the ball hit the net without crossing the line.

He committed suicide.

3:0, Luo Jiu scored another point.

The ball was played extremely thrillingly. The two sides exchanged offense and defense many times in a row. The audience screamed again and again, followed by waves of applause.

But the expressions of both sides of the game were very calm.

Because this ball is actually an unanimous and tacit attempt for both parties.

Both wanted to know the answer to the same thing: what would happen if Lin Zijun attacked and Luo Jiu defended?

Now they both know.

Lin Zijun's offense was only at the first-class level, and he really couldn't beat Luo Jiu, a top player with first-class defensive ability.

Therefore, Lin Zijun can give up the idea of ​​attacking.

Next, let's go back to the previous mode. Luo Jiu will still attack and Lin Zijun will defend. After we have eliminated all the wrong answers together, let's try the only correct mode to see who is the one who persists until the end that one.

Lin Zijun was no longer obsessed with restricting Luo Jiu's attack. He used a short backspin to fight the inside ball with Luo Jiu. Then at the right time, Luo Jiu took the initiative and entered the defensive link he was familiar with again.

But this time, the offensive and defensive strength of the two sides is no longer comparable to that of the previous two rounds.
