Ping Pong Life

Chapter 97
Niu Linjun was frustrated.

Although he knew that Wang Chao was very strong, at the beginning of the challenge, he actually had [-]% confidence in his heart.

For nothing else but because he's a chipper.

One of the biggest characteristics of the chopping style of play is "killing".

Choppers are very afraid of acquaintances, because acquaintances know your chip too well and are used to it enough. They will no longer eat your spin, but can handle your chip with ease, and seize the opportunity when they find it.

But it’s different for an unfamiliar opponent, because he has to figure out your spin characteristics and spin strength first. This adaptation process is very long. Maybe the game is over before he adapts well.

What's more, the ball returned by the chipper is indeed difficult to attack, and it is more difficult to attack than ordinary returns.

When Niu Linjun first joined the national team, even against the five main players, he could occasionally win a game or two by relying on this "killing" feature, but after the main players became familiar with him, he never won a game again.

In Niu Linjun's view, Wang Chao has three fatal weaknesses.

First, Wang Chao is a strange opponent, just suitable to be "killed" by himself.

Second, Wang Chao is young, young people tend to be irritable, and the chippers are only impatient.

Third, Wang Chao entered the table tennis world halfway through, so his foundation must not be solid, and the basic skills of the chipper are not solid.

No matter how you look at it, you should belong to Tian Ke Wang Chao.

But when the fight really started, Niu Linjun found that Wang Chao was not so old as a young man.

In the face of his own chopping, Wang Chao perfectly adhered to the idea of ​​"attack when there is a chance, and seek stability when there is no chance". A full 15 minutes passed without a single impulsiveness or impatience.

And Wang Chao's pursuit of stability is all about playing short.

Swing to the left, swing to the right, swing in the middle, no matter how you swing the ball, the ball is very short, and there is no chance for Niu Linjun to take the initiative to lift the board.

Of course, this is not just what can be summed up by "seeking stability". Being able to put short swings to this level proves that he has at least seen through Niu Linjun by six or seven points. Otherwise, how could every ball land exactly on Niu Linjun? What about the sideways attack?
But the most terrible thing is not Wang Chao's sophistication and patience, but Wang Chao's attack power.

When he caught the opportunity, Wang Chao's double-sided loop ball attack across the table had unimaginable power, which Niu Linjun could not feel at all when he watched the video before.

The only concept in his mind is "fluency".

So smooth!

This fluency is by no means purely fast, but has both left-handed and right-handed, high-hanging and heavy-drawing, straight-line and diagonal, fake movements and fake rotations.

Wang Chao's offense is like mercury pouring down the ground. It seems that every ball is easy to come by, but in fact, it is found that almost every offense is changing, and almost no two balls are the same.

This is just too scary.

Even though the chipper has a unique advantage in catching the ball, Niu Linjun was still a little confused by Wang Chao. He lost two points in the middle because he sliced ​​in the wrong direction-this kind of mistake can almost be called "outrageous" , which he has almost never committed in his professional career.

So at this moment, his body wasn't tired at all, and he didn't even sweat much, but his mind felt a little empty, which was obviously caused by overthinking.

He had exhausted his thoughts, only felt that Wang Chao had [-] kinds of weapons in his hands, which were constantly changing, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

He felt that his chops were meaningless, because so far, Wang Chao's lost points were all due to his own mistakes and Niu Linjun's attack. As for the spin?not a single one!

"This person is holding a racket like Super Luo, which eats a lot of spin, but he doesn't even take a single spin. What kind of terrible spin control is this?"

Niu Linjun felt that it was extremely frightening to think carefully, and it was difficult to continue. He shook his head vigorously and said, "I ask for a timeout."

In the monitoring room, Fan Xiaoxian couldn't help the smile on his face.

Too long face!

Too proud!

That's an active player in the national team!
Have you been beaten forcibly?

There was a timeout in the first game, how much pressure did this have to bear?
Fang Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Let's go out."

"Don't." Fan Xiaoxian was not happy: "Three wins in five rounds, it's still early."

"Give me your ugly face." Fang Yuan gritted her teeth, and dragged Fan Xiaoxian out the door: "Slapping again? Damn it! If you continue to beat me, my old Fang's family will beat him for all the money he spent on buying him." The water is floating!"

After all, her vision was far better than Fan Xiaoxian's, and she could tell that Niu Linjun was about to collapse.

This kind of player at the national team level has already tempered his mentality to the point of hardening. He usually doesn't collapse easily, but if he really wants to collapse, it may be a psychological shadow that will affect his life.

Geng Shuai is a living example.

Niu Linjun, a fan of the authorities, doesn't know the seriousness of the problem at the moment, but he directly used up the only one timeout opportunity before finishing the first game, which is actually enough to explain the problem.

So when Niu Linjun finished the 1-minute timeout, he just walked back to the table when he heard a voice from the door: "Niu Linjun, admit defeat, you are not Wang Chao's opponent."

Niu Linjun instinctively wanted to refuse, but he is a mature player after all, and the character of the chipper tends to be stable and rational, so after a little hesitation, he suddenly realized that he was covered in cold sweat on his back , Even the racket in his hand almost slipped to the ground.

He hurriedly took a step back, nodded and said: "Okay, stop fighting, I admit defeat."

When he said this, he glanced at the opposite side, and saw Wang Chao's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"I wipe!"

"This kid!"

"I really want to destroy me!"

Wang Chao didn't want to abolish Niu Linjun, but he really didn't show mercy.

After all, Niu Linjun didn't have any good intentions. He knew how fast Wang Chao was progressing, so he wanted to give Wang Chao a hard time before he fully grown up. The worse the abuse, the better. It is good to plant a seed of "unbeatable" in Wang Chao's heart, so that when he meets Wang Chaoshi in the future, he can rely on this psychological advantage to win.

But what Wang Chao wanted was to defeat Niu Linjun today so that Brother Geng could win his first victory tomorrow.

Everyone is a professional player, and the outcome of the game is related to the interests of all aspects. Even if Fan Xiaoxian and Fang Yuan are best friends, even if Spade Q and Jing Yuewan have the best friendship, these calculations outside the arena are still inevitable of.

Geng Shuai shrugged on the sidelines and smiled at Fan Xiaoxian who was walking in with Fang Yuan.

Just like what he said to Fan Xiaoxian on the bench of Osmanthus Fragrance that day: "I was bullied before, and I could only carry it on my own, because I was the strongest in the team. But now I was bullied, and immediately It feels so good to have someone call me back..."

He's not stupid. Before Niu Linjun asked him to fight, he naturally wanted to destroy him. The 14:12 round just now did cause a huge fluctuation in his mentality.

After all, he was stimulated by Hiroshi Yoshikawa just now, if he is hit again today, it is very likely that he will never recover from it.

But Wang Chao beat Niu Linjun violently in front of him, but Geng Shuai gradually calmed down a little bit of trauma.

He knew that he was fine, but Niu Linjun had a problem.

……

The Spring City Gymnasium opened to the public today with a capacity of 3000 people, because the match that took place this afternoon aroused keen attention from many quarters, and in the end the stadium was fully occupied, and some discounted standing tickets were even sold...

This data is not worth mentioning for basketball and football games, but it is already quite exaggerated for the lowest level of table tennis league.

It can be seen that the Spring City fans are very interested in this game.

The veteran team "Spades Q Club", which has risen strongly this season, has not lost a single game so far. It is currently ranked first in the standings with the Poseidon Club. This result can no longer be called a dark horse, but should be called "The Return of the King".

After all, spade q has won two table tennis championships in history, and it has been on the throne.

As the host, Jingyuewan Club has never won a championship in history, but they have entered the playoffs for four consecutive years. Before the start of this year's spring split, the club even publicly stated: We are here for the championship.

At present, Jingyuewan Club has played nine games, one more round than Spade Q, with a total record of eight wins and one loss. The opponent in the losing game was Sea God Club. Just looking at this result, it is not half a point inferior to Spade Q.

Even they just defeated last year's runner-up team "Bingcheng Pharmaceutical Club" a week ago.

In a sense, the gold content of their eight victories is even greater than the Q of Spades.

Red flags were flying in the arena, and various banners had been pulled up long ago. Although the home fans are huge, the cheerleaders on the away side should not be underestimated. There are hundreds of people at a rough glance.

And the girl in the lead is beautiful, dressed in trendy clothes, with picturesque eyes, long hair fluttering, and an assistant carrying a camera behind her, isn't it Luo Xiaoyu from the sports channel of Jiangcheng TV Station?
Then the contestants entered the arena, shook hands with each other, handed in the list of matches, and the competition officially began.

There was no suspense in the first game, Niu Linjun vs Geng Shuai.
