The big devil in table tennis

Chapter 1271 Continuous Research on Tactics

The afternoon sun shines into the training room through the windows, illuminating the photos of players from various countries and tactical analysis charts hanging on the walls.

Lin Hui, Xu Xin, Shaojie and Jianhua sat in front of the big screen, watching videos of international competitions attentively.

On the screen, every swing and every step of the players were clearly visible, as if bringing the tense atmosphere of the game into this small training room.

"Stop! Rewind and watch it again!" Lin Hui suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed on the screen.

In the picture, a foreign player scored with an extremely tricky backhand shot. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, without any delay or flaws.

Xu Xin and Shao Jie looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

They had never seen such a ball path before, and even Lin Hui attached so much importance to it, which was obviously extraordinary.

"This fight was truly amazing. There wasn't even a single flaw." Lin Hui exclaimed in a low voice, with a bit of admiration and solemnity in his tone.

His brows were slightly furrowed and his fingers tapped the table unconsciously, as if he was thinking about something.

Hearing Lin Hui's words, Xu Xin and Shao Jie couldn't help but feel nervous.

Lin Hui is the best player of the national team. He has superb skills and rich experience. He has won many championships in major competitions. Even he finds this kind of ball path difficult to deal with, so wouldn't it be even more difficult for them to deal with?

"Lin Hui, even you think it's such a good trick, is there any way to crack it?" Jianhua couldn't help but ask, with a hint of anxiety in his tone. He looked at Lin Hui and found that his expression was more serious than ever before.

Lin Hui was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "I haven't figured out a way to crack it yet. This player's skills are very comprehensive, with almost no weaknesses. His backhand shots are not only fast, but also extremely tricky, making them very difficult to predict and defend against."

There was silence for a moment.

On the screen, the wonderful performance of the foreign player was played repeatedly, and every time people watched it, they felt an invisible pressure.

Xu Xin and Shao Jie's faces also became solemn. They knew that if they could not find a way to crack the problem, they would most likely be passive in future games.

"But this doesn't mean we have no chance." Lin Hui suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. His eyes were still fixed on the screen, but his tone was more determined. "Any tactics and technology have their limitations. As long as we observe carefully, we can always find a breakthrough."

"What do you mean?" Jianhua asked.

"We need more data and analysis." Lin Hui stood up, walked to the whiteboard, picked up a pen and began to draw a tactical diagram.

"First, we need to analyze his habitual movements and tactical tendencies. Second, we can try to simulate his playing style and find the weaknesses. Finally, we also need to improve our own skills, especially the ability of backhand defense."

Xu Xin and Shao Jie nodded, their fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes.

They knew that Lin Hui was calm and rational.

As long as he is there, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they are confident that they can find a way to deal with it.

"Okay, then let's start from today and concentrate on studying this tactic!" Jianhua clenched his fists, his tone full of determination.

The atmosphere became lively again.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some were responsible for analyzing videos, some were responsible for simulating confrontations, and some began to develop new training plans.

Lin Hui stood in front of the whiteboard with a determined look, as if he had already seen the future victory.

After a few hours, they finally came up with a reasonable plan.

"How about we give it a try?" Shaojie suggested.

Lin Hui nodded, glanced at everyone present, and said calmly: "Okay, let's try this plan."

Next, everyone repeatedly considered every detail to ensure that every aspect of the tactics could be seamlessly connected.

Through video analysis, we continuously provide the latest updates of the opponent, and then adjust strategies and training based on this information through simulated confrontations.

The ping-pong ball bounced quickly on the table, making crisp "bang bang" sounds.

In the training hall, the team members were concentrating on the simulated confrontation, and the air was filled with a tense and fighting spirit.

Lin Hui stood on the sidelines, notebook in hand, his eyes fixed on every move on the court.

His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and the pen in his hand kept recording some key points.

Jianhua and Shaojie were competing against each other on the court. Both of them were hitting the ball at a very fast speed and their tactics were varied, as if they were in actual combat.

"Stop!" Lin Hui suddenly shouted, and the players on the field immediately stopped, looking at him panting.

"Shaojie, your backhand defense is a little weak, and the opponent is likely to take advantage of this." Lin Hui walked forward and pointed to the tactical diagram on the whiteboard and said, "You can adjust your position slightly and predict the opponent's attack route in advance."

Shaojie nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I understand, I'll try again."

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, we have plenty of time." Jianhua said.

Then the sound of ping-pong balls bouncing and sneakers rubbing against the ground was heard again.

Shaojie and Jianhua simulated playing table tennis, while Xu Xin and Lin Hui looked for their loopholes.

Especially when Shaojie made a backhand smash, Jianhua directly hit the ping-pong ball, and the angle made Shaojie gasp.

The ping-pong ball drew a sharp arc on the table. Shaojie's backhand smash was powerful, but Jianhua's reaction was faster.

He quickly turned sideways, shook his wrist, and lightly flicked the racket. The ping-pong ball flew back at an extremely tricky angle, straight into Shaojie's backhand blind spot.

Shaojie widened his eyes and moved quickly, but it was too late.

The ball hit the edge of the table and flew out. He could only watch the ball fall to the ground and gasped.

"This ball... is amazing!" Shaojie couldn't help but sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Jianhua smiled, put away his racket, and said in a relaxed tone: "Your backhand smash has enough power, but the angle is not tricky enough and can be easily predicted."

On the sidelines, Xu Xin and Lin Hui were watching this scene intently.

Xu Xin touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Shaojie's backhand smash has indeed improved, but Jianhua's counterattack is better. The angle and timing are so good."

Lin Hui nodded, and wrote a few lines in the notebook in his hand: Jianhua's backhand defense and counterattack ability are indeed very strong, but Shaojie's backhand spike still has room for improvement. If he can open up the angle a little more, it may be different. Then he said to Shaojie: "Increase the strength here, and Jianhua will fight back hard! Let's see the effect."

After hearing Lin Hui's suggestion, Shaojie and Jianhua readjusted and practiced.

Shaojie and Jianhua stood on both sides of the table again, looked at each other, and fighting spirit was burning in their eyes.

Lin Hui's suggestions made them realize that the next training would be more intense but also more challenging.

"Shall we start?" Shaojie gripped the racket tightly, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Jianhua.

Jianhua took a defensive stance: "Come on!"

The ping-pong ball was thrown from Shaojie's hand. He shook his wrist, swung the racket quickly, and hit a backhand smash straight to Jianhua's backhand.

This time, Shaojie deliberately increased his strength, making the ball faster and the angle more tricky.

Jianhua's eyes focused, his feet moved quickly, and he blocked the ball with his backhand. He caught the ball steadily and counterattacked it back.

The ping-pong ball drew an arc in the air and headed straight for Shaojie's forehand position.

Shaojie was well prepared. He adjusted his position quickly and hit the ball with his forehand, and the ball flew to Jianhua's backhand blind spot again.

Jianhua was not willing to be outdone and made a backhand slice, and the ball flew back to Shaojie's table in a very low arc.

The two players passed the ball back and forth, the speed of the ball became faster and faster, and the tactical changes became more diverse.

The "bang bang" sound of ping-pong balls rang out one after another, accompanied by the sound of tennis shoes rubbing against the ground. The atmosphere was tense and intense.

On the sidelines, Lin Hui and Xu Xin watched attentively, constantly recording key points in the notebooks in their hands.

"Shaojie's strength and angle have indeed improved, but Jianhua's defense is still solid." Xu Xin whispered.

Lin Hui nodded: "Jianhua's backhand defense is indeed very strong, but if Shaojie can add some changes, it may be more threatening."

At this moment, Shaojie suddenly changed his tactics. After a backhand smash, he quickly turned sideways and made a quick forehand attack, and the ball went straight to Jianhua's forehand gap.

Jianhua reacted a little slowly and the ball hit the edge of the table and flew out.

Lin Hui also showed a satisfied smile: "This change is very good, Jianhua didn't expect it."

Jianhua wiped the sweat off his face and said with a smile: "This move was quite sudden. I almost didn't react."

Shaojie smiled, with a hint of pride in his tone: "Lin Hui is right, strength and angle alone are not enough, there must be changes."

After that, the confrontation between Shaojie and Jianhua became more intense and the tactical changes became more diverse.

Lin Hui and Xu Xin constantly offered suggestions on the sidelines to help the two adjust the details.

After a few hours, the training finally came to an end.

Everyone sat together and began to review today's training results.

"Today's training was very effective. Shaojie's backhand spike and changes have improved significantly, and Jianhua's defense and counterattack are still solid."

Lin Hui concluded, “Next, we need to integrate these tactics into the game coordination to ensure that everyone can play at their best in the game.”

Jianhua nodded.

Shaojie also agrees!

Afterwards, Lin Hui stood in front of the whiteboard and wrote and drew on it quickly with the pen in his hand, clearly showing every detail of the tactics.

His voice was steady and powerful, and his eyes swept over everyone present to make sure they all understood what he meant.

"First of all, we have to pay attention to backhand quick attacks, especially their sideways attacks. Shaojie, your backhand spike has improved a lot, but you still need to work on the angle and strength. Jianhua, your defense and counterattack abilities are very strong, but when facing difficult balls, you need to be more stable in your mentality." Lin Hui said as he marked the key points on the whiteboard.

At this time, Xu Xin stood up, his tone relaxed but with a hint of seriousness: "Let me add one thing. When I was observing on the stage just now, I found that Jianhua had a problem - when you encounter a difficult ball, your confidence will obviously drop, and your movements will become hesitant. And when you encounter an easy ball, you tend to get too excited and make mistakes."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze directly to Jianhua, his eyes filled with encouragement and expectation.

Jianhua was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head with a bitter smile on his face. He was indeed aware of his own problem.

Every time he encountered a difficult ball, he would involuntarily feel powerless and his movements would become stiff. When he encountered an easy ball, he would be too excited to pay attention to details, leading to mistakes.

"Xu Xin is right," Jianhua raised his head, with a hint of self-blame in his tone, "I do have this problem. When I encounter a difficult ball, I always feel that I can't receive it, and I start to panic."

Lin Hui walked up to Jianhua, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Jianhua, there is no problem with your technique. The key is your mentality. Every ball in the game is important. No matter it is difficult or easy, you must stay calm and confident. Only in this way can you show your true strength."

Xu Xin also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Jianhua, you have to believe in yourself. Your defense and counterattack abilities are among the best in the team. As long as you keep a stable mentality, the opponent will have no way to deal with you."

Jianhua took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, next, I will try my best to adjust my mentality. No matter what ball I encounter, I must stay calm and confident."

Shaojie also came over and patted Jianhua on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, let's practice together! You defend and I attack, we will definitely get better and better by learning from each other."

Jianhua felt the encouragement and support from his teammates, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He gripped the racket tightly, looked at everyone with a firm gaze, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Thank you everyone! With your support, I will definitely adjust my mentality and not let emotions affect my performance."

Lin Hui stepped forward, patted Jianhua on the shoulder, and said in a steady and powerful tone: "Jianhua, we all know your strength. Next, as long as you can stay calm, no matter what kind of ball your opponent plays, you will be able to handle it with ease."

Xu Xin also smiled and added: "Yes, the most important thing in the game is the mentality. As long as you believe in yourself, there is no ball that you can't catch."

Lin Hui closed the notebook in his hand, glanced at everyone present, and said in a steady and powerful tone: "Well, let's stop here for today's training. Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good rest, and continue tomorrow."

Although everyone's faces were tired, their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Shaojie smiled and said, "I had a lot of fun practicing today. I feel like I'm getting better and better."

Lin Hui walked at the end, holding a notebook in his hand, and occasionally lowered his head to make a few notes.

His mind kept replaying every detail of today's training, thinking about how to enable everyone to cope with various challenges and troubles.

At the same time, he felt that this was just the beginning, and everyone would definitely get better with practice.
