Ping Pong Life

Chapter 465 Desperately
At 12 o'clock in the morning on December 18, the men's singles semi-finals that everyone was looking forward to finally started.

The reason why the match started at ten o'clock was naturally because the women's singles was played first. Now that the women's singles has ended, the two Chinese players Liu Wen and Shen Sha met in the final. On the contrary, the world's number one Jin Ling was defeated by the young player Shen Sha in the semi-finals. disuse.

For foreign fans, the women's singles is over, and there is no need to watch the Huaping civil war.

But for Jin Ling personally, this is an Olympic Games full of regrets.

Jin Ling, the "most water Grand Slam in history" still failed to prove her gold content after all. Instead, she proved her "water" again after being crushed and eliminated by Shensha. She is 28 years old this year and has no more The opportunity to participate in the next Olympic Games also means that she will never have the opportunity to prove herself again.

Her title of "the most watery grand slam in history" is well established.

At the same time, due to the reform of the ITTF this year, Huaping began to focus on mixed doubles, and no longer let veterans play concurrently as in the past, so she has not made any achievements in mixed doubles this year, and even has no chance to compete.

Of course there will be no more in the future, because the Tang Dynasty combination of Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan has already secured the number one throne in the world. Jin Ling asked herself, even if she joins hands with Xiao Fei, or even Sun Tianlong, she may not be able to win in the chaos. This wonderful project of double overthrows the Tang Dynasty combination.

This can be regarded as a sense of uneasiness, which made the eye circles of the first sister of Huaping a little red. She sat in the stands, waiting to watch the men's singles match, and did not return to the hotel to adjust her emotions.

She also wants to quit, the competition of women's table tennis is too fierce, and even surpasses that of men's table tennis, she wants to be like Xiao Fei and Sun Tianlong, transform into a coach, watch more games, analyze the situation more, learn more about the players, and pay more attention to the table tennis world Dynamics is an indispensable daily lesson in her future life.

Since there is no way to achieve satisfactory results in your career, let your disciples go for higher honors, and you will be the one who silently contributes behind the scenes.

This is the inheritance and tradition of Huaping, which is endless from generation to generation. Although there are selfish intentions, they are still on the road of dedication after all.

……

This year's men's singles semi-finals are very strange, and the expectations of the two games show a huge difference.

Luo Jiu vs Sun Tianlong, audience expectations voted 90.00% three.

For Wang Chao vs. Lin Zijun, audience expectations voted [-]%.

Yes, it's that outrageous.

No one wants to see Wang Chao fight Lin Zijun, everyone agrees that this is a clear-cut game.

As for Luo Jiu's fight against Sun Tianlong, although the vast majority of viewers are optimistic about Sun Tianlong, they still want to watch, not to see the outcome, but only to watch the process.

Countless people wrote analysis articles on the Internet before the game, but no one could say clearly what the game would look like. This scene was almost the same as the World Table Tennis Championships final two months ago.

Don't forget, at that time even Qin Huachang, who was like a master of the world, said that he could not predict at all, and everything only depends on his performance on the spot.

But now two months later, Luo Jiu can be seen as excited as taking medicine with the naked eye, while Sun Tianlong calmed down everyone through the first two shocking fights, beating Zhang Benkuang's prestige no longer, and beating Pique to beg for himself. Shaving their heads, it can be said that even those fat people who don't know how to play can see that these two people are definitely in much better condition than they were in the World Table Tennis Championships.

How good is this game?
The audience didn't dare to think at all.

At this time, the audience has to ask, when 16 into 8 and 8 into 4, there are also many games that seem to have clear winners and losers. Why are the fans betting on both sides?Now it's Wang Chao's turn to fight Lin Zijun. Lin Zijun is so hot, but you say that only [-]% of the people want to watch this game. Are you trying to openly engage in shady operations against us Xiaolinzi?Is the protagonist your own son?
That's right, the protagonist is of course the author's own son, but the author can still explain why this is so.

In the final analysis, this is the home of the Americas.

When the semi-finals turned into a pure Asian civil war, the fans naturally pulled out their partiality. When they regained their senses, wouldn't the situation of the game be obvious?

Lin Zijun has been beaten by Wang Chao many times this year, from men's singles to mixed doubles, and from mixed doubles to men's singles.

According to gossip, when the mixed doubles competition first started, the Wandao team had asked the Tang Dynasty team to be a training partner in order to deal with the Jindalai team. Lin Zijun was bullied badly by Wang Chao that night.

All the public competitions + gossip + clues are enough to prove that the confrontation between these two 18-year-old contemporary super geniuses is not a fateful battle, but a cat-and-mouse fight.

There are no twin stars in the world table tennis world, only Huaping's Peerless Dragon is the only star, and the rest are bleak.

It can only be said that since Lin was born, He Shengchao?
The competition is about to start, and the host is still impassionedly announcing the players entering the competition, and briefly introducing the honor of each player. At this time, Luo Jiu asked He Jingping beside him: "Teacher, give me some advice."

Today is a civil war, and off-court coaching is not allowed. Sun Tianlong's side has no Qin Huachang, so in the past few games, He Jingping served as off-court coach temporarily. As for today, everyone naturally depends on their own abilities.

But Luo Jiu had something to ask, He Jingping is not a saint after all, he still loves his great apprentice.

It's just that he really couldn't give any advice, because he was bored in the room yesterday and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out a reason in the end.

At this moment, Comrade He felt that instead of Luo Jiu asking him, it would be more meaningful to ask Wang Chao.

So he directly asked, "What did Junior Brother Ni say?"

"He told me to work hard." Luo Jiu smiled wryly, "Teacher, I also know how to work hard, but I still want some opportunistic methods... You know, I am shameless, as long as I can win, how can I recruit you?" Dare to use it."

He Jingping stared at him for a long while, until the host called Luo Jiu's name, and he couldn't wait any longer, then he reached out and patted Luo Jiu's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Then I'll give you two words too."

As Luo Jiu walked forward along the passage, she turned her head and shouted, "You said it."

He Jingping said loudly: "Go all out, there is no other way."

Luo Jiu was stunned, and his expression, which was originally a little loose, suddenly became fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

He strode into the arena, raised his hands, and enjoyed the sound of cheers that are difficult to enjoy in the away game.

This game has nothing to do with nationality, everyone wants to see the style of the peak battle.

At the other end, Sun Tianlong walked in with steady steps. Compared to Luo Jiu, he looked extremely calm.

At this peak duel, the host naturally wanted to make trouble, and put the microphone in front of Luo Jiu: "Are you confident?"

Luo Jiu roared, "Yes."

The host asked: "How much confidence do you have?"

Luo Jiu hesitated and said, "Eight points."

So the audience clapped and shouted wildly, and someone even beat the drums, which made the gymnasium deafening and deafening.

The host asked Sun Tianlong again: "How much confidence do you have?"

Sun Tianlong smiled, and his tone was as steady as ever: "Same as him, it is also eight points."

The audience was even crazier, and the big drum was beating desperately, as if they wanted to pierce the eardrum. When they heard the two people give exactly the same answer, they naturally felt that this was the most typical, most passionate, most middle-class, and most targeted. Tit for tat.

Strong against strong, hard against strong, the smell of gunpowder is full, and it will burn at one point, just ask if your blood is hot?
But Wang Chao, who was quietly watching the battle, sighed silently at this moment.

He knew that the fans had misunderstood.

These two people are talking about eight-point confidence, but in essence they are completely different.

Senior brother is a big talker, although he has no idea, he tried his best to cheer himself up. He said eight points, so the real confidence must be only five points, he is just self-hypnosis.

But Sun Tianlong has a calm temperament, introverted, low-key and modest. He said eight points, so I'm afraid he really thinks in his heart as much as nine points.

In this way, the difference can be huge.

"Work hard, brother." Wang Chao prayed silently in his heart: "Work hard for your Olympic men's singles silver medal."

"You made it to the final, and I won the gold medal."

……

Luo Jiu is desperately trying.

From the first ball of the first game, he put on a desperate posture.

But Sun Tianlong didn't get used to him, and Sun Tianlong was also working hard.

It's just that Luo Jiu's eyes are red, thinking that if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent, and the only thing you can do is fight.

What Sun Tianlong wanted was to finally be able to let go to the fullest, be happy and happy, although he was working hard, he was in a very happy mood, he just wanted a hearty battle, and he didn't care about winning or losing.

Luo Jiu was the one who guessed the coin successfully.

He sent the most cautious short backspin, but Sun Tianlong directly slammed into the stage, fought unreasonably, and directly slammed and scored successfully.

Luo Jiu made another short backspin, which was shorter and lower than before. Sun Tianlong was careful to swing short and was almost impeccable, but Luo Jiu did not fight unreasonably, and also succeeded in scoring violently.

Neither of these two people has extreme speed, and they can't play Lin Zijun's super-speed defense mode, and because both sides are too rich in technology, it is impossible to predict the opponent's ball path. They can't defend against the violent provocation that erupts with their whole body and mind. Since they can't defend against it, they can simply attack. You fight once, and I fight once.

With Luo Jiu's serve, he scored a point and lost a point.

Sun Tianlong's serve round also scored a point and lost a point.

Luo Jiu took the right to serve again, and still scored one point and lost one point.

Sun Tianlong regained the right to serve and also scored one point and lost one point.

The score was 4:4 in a blink of an eye, and the pace of the match between the two sides was suffocating. The most ruthless thing is that so far, no ball has exceeded two rounds.

Either one move is fatal, or one move is fatal after transitioning a board.

Everyone chose the violent challenge within the stage, no one chose the regular challenge, and no one tried to bet on the angle of the opponent's violent challenge.

But this involves a very critical factor, called "error rate."

It is necessary to find the right time to start a challenge in the court, and the ability of these two people to control the ball has been strong to the limit. The ball they send and the ball they swing short, in theory, actually have no angle of attack.

But there is just something that can break the conventional theory, called "irrational ball".

So the two of them played unreasonable balls, and the balls that were violently picked were all balls that should not be able to be violently picked. After hitting four balls in one breath, the success rate of both sides fighting was [-]%.

The fans couldn't understand the thousand-layered game between the two, but at least they could understand how dangerous the ball was. It can be said that both sides took the path of closing their throats with a sword.

Then everyone understands this ball - what you don't understand is only the details, but what you understand is the fundamental principle.

Just because I understood it, there was a strange silence in the gymnasium at this moment. Everyone clenched their fists, stretched their necks, widened their eyes, and held their breath. stability.

Because they know that in order to play this kind of unreasonable ball, they must control the power, rotation, and angle to the subtle limit. Maybe a little trouble will break this balance and form technical fluctuations—maybe the players on the field are not so fragile, but That's what the audience is worried about.

Luo Jiu served, Sun Tianlong rushed to attack directly and killed him directly.

Luo Jiu finally changed his tactics and sent a baseline run.

Sun Tianlong attacked directly from the side, and then burst on the second board, the third board, the fourth board, and the fifth board, killing him.

The gymnasium turned from silence to boiling in an instant, and everyone jumped up like crazy.

A full five board bursts, what a terrifying explosive power.

Is this something a man in his 30s who has been suffering from injuries all year round can do?

Sun Tianlong has been famous for a long time and is invincible in the world. The fans thought that they had already analyzed Sun Tianlong's various skills clearly, but they just couldn't beat them. But now they suddenly discovered that Sun Tianlong actually has hidden tricks.

Normal professional players only need three boards to break their balance. Wang Chao hit four boards against Zhu Shixian before, which surprised everyone, but after all, Wang Chao is in the prime of life, and Sun Tianlong is old. Can he have five boards?

He really did, and he was so powerful that he could kill someone like Luo Jiu.

This is the first time the score has been opened, and Sun Tianlong leads 6:4.

Sun Tianlong got the right to serve.

The ball showed a strange anti-logic for these two people, and the law of "serving advantage" was just reversed for the two.

Whoever serves, the opponent will attack. As long as the attack is successful, there is a great possibility of scoring.

The key to this is not the rush to attack, but the success rate of fighting.

A fight with a 50.00% success rate cannot be called a fight, it should be called a conventional technique, and only a technique with a success rate of [-]% or even lower can be called a fight.

Therefore, what Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong showed at this time essentially broke through the conventional theoretical basis of contemporary table tennis. If in the future, with the overall improvement of human physical fitness, there will be a large number of freaks like Hu Ke and Lin Zijun. , then the basic theory of table tennis may be rewritten, and today's battle between Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong may be re-studied in that era, and it perfectly conforms to the logic of table tennis games in that era.

Sun Tianlong made a short backspin, and Luo Jiu scored with a sharp pick.

6: 5.

Sun Tianlong's hair spins downward, and Luo Jiu forcibly pulls the arc.

Sun Tianlong pulled back.

Luo Jiu is pulling.

Sun Tianlong turned sideways and charged with his forehand.

Luo Jiu moved in the opposite direction and bounced hard with his backhand.

Sun Tianlong beat the racket directly.

Luo Jiu stepped back from the stage and cut the super-normal backspin ball, which was so beautiful that it was a mess.

Sun Tianlong also stepped back from the stage, waited for the ball to drop, fished out the moon in the sea, and fished out a large arc ball visible to the naked eye.

Luo Jiu's forehand burst again.

Sun Tianlong forcibly pulled back with his forehand.

Luo Jiu pulls again.

Sun Tianlong pulls again.

Luo Jiu pulls again.

Sun Tianlong pulls again.

The buttocks of the audience who had just sat down left the seat again, stood up in unison, and began to count neatly: "One, two, three, four, five, wow!"

What they saw was a scene they had seen countless times in major competitions in Europe: COSCO and Taiwan faced each other.

Asian players don't like to play this kind of simple and rough stalemate, but Europeans like it very much. All European games have more rounds, and the audience is happy to watch this kind of big scene.

However, the reason why the local audience in Mexico City was excited was not because the ball was played in a European style, but because Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong, in this high-intensity and high-change duel between rabbits and falcons, firstly through mutual mobilization and continuous changes Zhao Zhao each hit a super ball, namely Luo Jiu's side cut from the far platform and Sun Tianlong's far platform Haidilaoyue.

But the two super balls were commonplace in the hands of these two people, and they couldn't even stir up a little ripple, so they developed calmly to the later stage, and the two began to pull their forehands from afar.

Note that the most important thing here is the word "full effort".

They don't have any transitional versions. Although both of them are running and still moving their left and right hands, they are still charging with all their strength.

Sun Tianlong had just proved his terrifying explosive power in the last ball, and Luo Jiu quickly responded back at this moment. He also rushed with all his strength on five rebounds, forcefully pushing back Sun Tianlong's offensive momentum.

At this time, it was actually Sun Tianlong who changed his move in advance. In such a long distance, the racket turned up, with a hint of sticking to the ball, and barely brought the ball over.

This is a transition ball.

He can no longer explode, which also proves that he is still a human being, not a god, and his limit is only five boards.

Luo Jiu's face turned red.

Essentially speaking, he is not a brute force player, but rather tall. Although he is four years younger than Sun Tianlong, his physical fitness is actually not as good as Sun Tianlong who is now recovering from his injury.

So in fact, his limit is strictly speaking only four boards.

He really went all out, he didn't care about anything, he must hold the ball and fight for this breath.

He will never forget that both his master and his younger brother said the same two words to him before he went into battle: Desperate.

If you want to win, you have to work hard, because when the whole world does not know who is stronger or weaker between him and Sun Tianlong, He Jingping and Wang Chao, two sensible people, have already told him in a relatively subtle way: Sun Tianlong stronger than you.

Luo Jiu is actually not afraid of losing, because Fan Xiaoxian has been comforting him, decompressing him, telling him that winning or losing doesn't matter, and it doesn't affect anything other than the game.

But he still wants to win, this is his damned desire to win and unwarranted self-esteem as a man.

He just wanted to use an Olympic gold medal as a bride price when he married his wife.

He just thinks that this thing is the best dowry gift in his mind, even though Fan Xiaoxian has long expressed that he prefers a simple bouquet of roses.

So this fifth board really emptied his body, which made him a little overwhelmed.

But when Sun Tianlong's transition board came over, he still gushed out the only remaining power from the deepest part of all the flesh and bones. This power is like when we usually drink yogurt and completely squash the box with our fingers bit by bit The last drop of milky white liquid squeezed out after pinching all the gaps is the stock that Luo Jiu scraped out of the bone marrow.

Not a single drop really.

He swung the racket with his body, then his legs softened, and he knelt down in front of the table.

It was funny and embarrassing, and the audience roared with laughter, and many people were dumbfounded, not knowing what happened.

But the ball finally beat Sun Tianlong to death.

6: 6.

Although he was in a mess, Luo Jiu managed to regain the score.

Sun Tianlong ran over to pick up the ball, and when he came back, he lightly touched Luo Jiu's eyes and smiled at him.

He likes the atmosphere very much.

He could see Luo Jiu's hard work, and he appreciated it very much.

So, next he's going to get serious.

Of course Sun Tianlong is not a pervert, but after smashing the dreams of countless super geniuses in foreign associations in the past seven years, he is still subconsciously excited today because he is about to smash a super genius in Huaping.

The native chicken and tile dog of the foreign association have never let him enjoy himself. He occasionally loses, but he loses to his body and time.

But Luo Jiu's toughness today finally succeeded in arousing the desire to win in him that had been dormant for many years.

"I will do my best to beat you, this is my greatest recognition for you."

"It's just that you may be a little miserable."

"Because I used a regular style of play just now, and from now on, I'm going to start targeting you. I can't let your good brother Hu Ke waste a night of time, can I?"

"So, are you ready?"

Sun Tianlong didn't know that at this moment, thousands of miles away, in theory, Qin Huachang, who had already fallen asleep, was secretly holding his mobile phone and covering his head, hiding under the quilt, holding his breath and staring at the screen, waiting to see The next development of this ball.

Qin Huachang still couldn't bear it.

Because in his mind, this game has another meaning.

This is the most outstanding disciple of the Qin Sect vs (one of) the most outstanding disciples of the Zhu Sect.

After more than half a year of broadcasting career, more than half a year of asceticism, although Lao Qin has played down a lot of gains and losses, his competitive spirit has never been downplayed from the beginning to the end.

He has to win the battle of the gates.

He touched his heart.

In fact, seeing the ball here, Qin Huachang could already see that Sun Tianlong had a great chance of winning, but he still felt a faint throbbing in his heart, which forced him to close his eyes in the short time before the serve. Calm yourself down a little bit.
