The big devil in table tennis

Chapter 1268 Mixed Doubles Gets Stronger

Facing the fierce offensive of Xu Xin and Shaojie, Jianhua and Lin Hui gradually began to seem a little overwhelmed.

They began to work hard to adjust their tactics, using tacit cooperation and flexible positioning to resolve the pressure brought by Xu Xin and Shao Jie, but Xu Xin and Shao Jie's conditions had recovered a lot compared to before.

Xu Xin's strong attack from the backcourt came like a storm, with each shot carrying strong rotation and speed, making it a little difficult for Jianhua to cope with.

Shaojie's interceptions in front of the net are extremely accurate. He can find the opponent's gap almost every time and send the ball to the most deadly position.

The advantages of Xu Xin and Shao Jie are becoming more and more obvious.

Lin Hui and Jianhua realized that if they continued to fight at the original pace, it would be difficult for them to turn the situation around.

So, the two quickly adjusted their tactics and decided to start with defensive counterattacks to find the flaws of Shaojie and Xu Xin.

The ping-pong ball quickly shuttled across the table, making crisp "bang bang bang" sounds, and every hit was full of power and precision.

Xu Xin seemed extremely decisive every time he swung his racket. The moment the racket touched the ball, the ball flew like an arrow straight into Lin Hui's blind spot.

Shaojie seemed more calm. His ball paths were varied. Sometimes he would lightly pick the ball over the net, and sometimes he would smash it hard, trying to disrupt Jianhua's rhythm.

Despite this, Jianhua is agile and his steps are light, so he can always reach the landing point of the ball in the first time.

Each of his strikes was accompanied by the sound of whistling wind as he tried to overwhelm his opponent with force.

The ping-pong ball draws graceful arcs in the air, sometimes flying in the air, sometimes staying in mid-air, as if performing an aerial ballet.

Xu Xin and Shaojie, Jianhua and Lin Hui, every confrontation between them is full of competitive passion and confrontational tension.

Inside the table tennis hall, the lights were as bright as day, and the incandescent light sprinkled on the blue table, casting a slight reflection.

The air was filled with a faint smell of sweat, mixed with the unique rubber scent of rubber rackets.

There were no spectators in the stadium. Only a few players were practicing in front of their respective tables. The crisp sounds of the ball and rackets hitting each other came one after another, like some kind of rhythmic music.

Xu Xin stood at one end of the table, slightly bent over, staring at Lin Hui opposite him.

Lin Hui's eyes were grim, and he gently turned the racket in his hand. The ball spun a few times on his fingertips, and then he threw it high up. The ball drew an arc in the air, and Lin Hui swung his racket violently. The ball shot out like a bullet, and with a bang, it went straight to Xu Xin's backhand position with a sharp rotation.

Xu Xin's pupils suddenly contracted and his body reacted almost instinctively.

His feet moved quickly, the soles of his shoes rubbing against the floor making a slight creaking sound, his arms swung out like a whip, the racket drew an arc in the air, and accurately met the incoming ball.

The moment the ball touched the racket face, Xu Xin's wrist shook slightly, and the ball flew back with a strong spin, straight into Lin Hui's forehand blind spot.

Lin Hui's reaction was equally quick. His body bounced up like a spring, he adjusted his feet quickly, and with a swing of the racket, the ball flew back again.

The two men's movements were so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly. The ball flew back and forth on the table, making dense "pa pa" sounds, as if it was a silent fight.

Shaojie immediately greeted the ping-pong ball.

At this moment, the air seemed to be compressed, tense and solemn.

The lights on the table were dazzling, giving the surface of the table a cold sheen.

The sound of the ball hitting the racket was like some intense drum beats, echoing in the empty stadium, and every sound seemed to strike everyone's heart.

Xu Xin and Shao Jie stood on one side of the table, their positions close and in perfect harmony.

Xu Xin bent his waist slightly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at Lin Hui and Jianhua opposite him.

Shaojie stood at a later position, leaning forward slightly, gently shaking the racket in his hand, as if he was ready to welcome the ball from any direction at any time.

Lin Hui and Jianhua stood opposite each other, both with equally serious expressions.

Lin Hui's eyes were cold. He gently turned the racket in his hand, and the ball spun a few times on his fingertips before being thrown high into the air.

The ball drew an arc in the air, and Lin Hui swung his racket violently. The ball shot out like a bullet, and with a bang, it went straight to Xu Xin's backhand with a sharp spin.

Xu Xin's footsteps moved quickly, and the friction between the soles of his shoes and the floor made a slight squeaking sound.

His arm swung out like a whip, and the racket drew an arc in the air, accurately meeting the incoming ball.

The moment the ball touched the racket face, Xu Xin's wrist shook slightly, and the ball flew back with a strong spin, straight into Lin Hui's forehand blind spot.

Lin Hui's reaction was equally quick. His body bounced up like a spring, he adjusted his feet quickly, and with a swing of the racket, the ball flew back again.

This time, the ball's rotation was even more bizarre. The ball drew an irregular arc in the air and went straight to Shaojie's backhand.

Shaojie's eyes focused, his body quickly moved sideways, and he swung his racket violently. The ball flew back with a strong spin, straight to Jianhua's side.

Jianhua's reaction was a little slow, and the ball hit the edge of his racket and flew out of bounds.

Jianhua accidentally lost this goal.

Jianhua stood there, looked down at his racket, frowned slightly, and was obviously a little annoyed about the mistake.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the rubber surface of the racket, as if he was reflecting on his misjudgment just now.

Lin Hui immediately said in a calm but encouraging tone: "It's okay, try again in the next ball."

Jianhua nodded, took a deep breath, readjusted his stance, and his eyes became sharp again.

He knew that in such a high-intensity confrontation, mistakes were inevitable. The key was how to quickly adjust his mentality and meet the next challenges.

On the other side, Xu Xin and Shao Jie looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Shaojie shook his wrist and whispered to Xu Xin: "The rotation of that ball just now was indeed a bit strange. I almost didn't catch it."

Xu Xin nodded, his eyes still fixed on Lin Hui and Jianhua on the opposite side, and said in a steady tone: "Their serves are getting more and more tricky. We have to be careful."

Lin Hui served again, this time he chose a short ball, the ball lightly brushed the net and landed on Xu Xin's forehand position.

Xu Xin quickly stepped forward, flicked his wrist lightly, and the ball flew back with a slight spin, straight to Lin Hui's backhand.

Lin Hui reacted extremely quickly, his body moved sideways quickly, and with a swing of his racket, the ball flew back again, straight to Shaojie's forehand position.

Shaojie's eyes focused, he quickly adjusted his steps, swung his racket violently, and the ball flew back with a strong spin, straight to Jianhua's side.

This time, Jianhua did not make the same mistake again. He moved quickly, leaned forward slightly, swung the racket, and the ball flew back with a strong spin, straight to Xu Xin's backhand. Xu Xin's reaction was equally fast. He adjusted his steps quickly, leaned forward slightly, swung the racket violently, and the ball flew back with a strong spin, straight to Lin Hui's forehand.

Lin Hui's eyes changed slightly. Obviously, he didn't expect Xu Xin to be able to make such a precise reaction in such a short time.

His feet moved quickly, but this time, his movement was a little slow, and the ball hit the edge of his racket and flew out of bounds.

This time, Lin Hui also made a mistake!

Lin Hui stood there, looked down at his racket, frowned slightly, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

The racket turns gently in my hand, and my fingertips feel the friction of the rubber, as if looking for a certain rhythm.

He raised his eyes again and looked at Xu Xin and Shao Jie opposite him, with a more calm look in his eyes.

Jianhua whispered, "Let's be steady and take it slow."

Lin Hui nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "Well, don't worry, we have plenty of opportunities."

Lin Hui served again, and this time he chose a more cautious strategy. The rotation and speed of the ball were controlled just right. The ball gently brushed the net and landed on Xu Xin's backhand.

Xu Xin's eyes were fixed on the ping-pong ball that was flying slowly towards her. The ball was not spinning violently and its speed was moderate. It lightly brushed the net and landed on her backhand.

Her body sank slightly, her feet firmly on the floor, her breathing steady, as if everything was under his control.

The moment the ball bounced on the table, Xu Xin did not rush to shoot, but waited patiently for the ball to fall to the right height.

She relaxed her wrist slightly and flicked the racket lightly. The movement seemed gentle, but it contained precise control.

The ball rotated slightly, drew a low arc, and flew steadily towards Lin Hui's forehand position.

Lin Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously a little surprised by Xu Xin's calm and leisurely playing style.

He moved quickly, leaned forward slightly, and swung his racket, trying to hit the ball back to Xu Xin's backhand.

However, although Xu Xin's ball was not fast, its rotation and landing point were extremely special. Lin Hui's return was a little hasty, and the arc of the ball was slightly high, going straight to Shaojie's forehand position.

Shaojie was already prepared. He quickly moved his body to the side and swung his racket violently. The ball flew back with a strong spin, straight to Jianhua's side.

Jianhua's reaction was equally quick, but his steps were a little slow, and the ball hit the edge of his racket and flew out. Fortunately, he reacted in time and barely blocked the ball back, but the quality of the ball was not high, the arc was slow and the landing point was shallow, and it went straight to Xu Xin's backhand.

Seeing this, Xu Xin's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He quickly adjusted his pace, lowered his body slightly, and lightly lifted the racket. The ball flew towards Lin Hui's backhand baseline with a strong backspin.

Lin Hui obviously did not expect Xu Xin to hit such a ball. His steps were a little messy and he barely reached the landing point of the ball, but his wrist strength was insufficient when returning the ball. The arc of the ball was high again and went straight to Shaojie's forehand position.

Shaojie had predicted this ball long ago. His body bounced up quickly like a spring, and he swung the racket violently. The ball flew towards Jianhua's forehand at a wide angle with a strong topspin.

Although Jianhua reacted quickly, the speed and rotation of the ball made it difficult for him to defend. The ball hit the edge of his racket and almost flew out again!

Jianhua shook his head, looking a little annoyed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, took a deep breath, and prepared to meet the ball.

Xu Xin reminded Shaojie and signaled him to maintain his form.

Then he stood on the left side of the table, shook his wrist lightly, and the ball flew towards Lin Hui's backhand with a strong side spin.

Lin Hui did not panic this time. He moved quickly and used his racket to hit the ball steadily. The quality of his return ball was significantly improved and it went straight to Shaojie's backhand.

Shaojie did not rush to attack, but chose a steady defense, and the ball flew to Jianhua's forehand position with a slight spin.

Jianhua made no mistakes this time. His return was extremely fast and went straight to Xu Xin's backhand baseline.

Xu Xin quickly turned sideways and gently blocked the ball with his racket, and the ball flew towards Lin Hui's forehand triangle with a strong backspin.

Lin Hui's reaction was a little slow, and the ball landed in a too tricky spot. He barely managed to block the ball back, but the quality of the ball was not high and went straight to Shaojie's forehand position.

Shaojie seized the opportunity, leaned forward quickly, swung the racket violently, and the ball flew towards Jianhua's backhand at a large angle with a strong topspin.

Although Jianhua tried hard to catch up, the speed and rotation of the ball made it difficult for him to cope with it, and the ball hit his racket again.

Once, twice, this time it was really dangerous!

However, Xu Xin and Shao Jie tried their best to cooperate with each other, and the two sides exchanged blows, with the scores rising alternately.

Xu Xin's spinning ball, Shaojie's strong attack, Jianhua's solid defense and Lin Hui's flexible response made this game full of suspense and excitement.

The handling of each ball is crucial, and the whole game may be lost if you are not careful.

In the end, after a fierce competition, Xu Xin and Shaojie relied on their tacit cooperation and outstanding performance to defeat Jianhua and Lin Hui with a slight advantage!

Although Jianhua and Lin Hui lost this game, there was not much frustration on their faces. Instead, they had a relieved smile on their faces.

After all, the game was exciting enough and both sides tried their best.

Jianhua wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You played really well!" Jianhua said with a smile, his tone full of sincere appreciation.

"You are also very strong. You almost made us fail." Xu Xin responded with a smile, his tone relaxed and sincere.

Shaojie also nodded and added: "Especially Lin Hui's backhand change of direction, which almost caught me off guard."

Lin Hui smiled and said, "I won't let you guys have it so easy next time."

Afterwards, they walked to the sidelines, picked up the water bottles and took a few sips of water.

I am so tired from playing today!

Xu Xin looked at Shaojie and said with a smile: "Your forehand attack today was amazing. If it weren't for you, we might not have won this game."

Shaojie smiled and said, "If it weren't for your spinning ball that disrupted their rhythm, I wouldn't have had the chance to perform. Our cooperation is getting better and better."

Shaojie knew that he and Xu Xin were becoming more and more in sync with each other.

Especially in mixed doubles.

This also made Jianhua say: "Even in the mixed doubles, we have forgotten our singles. Anyway, I can't beat Xu Xin and Shao Jie!"

"Then you don't have to fight with us two tomorrow. We two will let you two go!"

Xu Xin laughed.
