The big devil in table tennis

“It’s just a little bit short!”

The other player clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.

Sweat rolled down his cheeks, gleaming in the spotlight.

He stared at the ping-pong ball on the opposite table that was still trembling slightly. His ears were buzzing with the sound of his own pounding heart.

On the other side of the net, Shaojie wiped the sweat off his face and swallowed a mouthful of sports drink with his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

The tennis ball just now was just like a joke played by fate. He could even feel the slight vibration of the ping-pong ball gently rubbing against the net.

"I'm so lucky." He turned his head to look at Dadang and found that Xu Xin was also shaking his head slightly, with a bitter smile of lingering fear on the corner of his mouth.

The game continued. Xu Xin took a deep breath and turned the racket half a circle in his palm.

The crisp sound of the rubber and the ping-pong ball colliding echoed in the venue again.

Bang-bang-bang.

Every sound seemed to hit my tense nerves.

He saw the fire rekindled in his opponent's red eyes, a look that became even more ferocious after being forced into a desperate situation.

On both sides of the table, four figures kept crossing each other under the glaring lights.

The water droplets thrown out by sweat drew crystal arcs in the air, and the friction between the soles of shoes and the floor rubber made a sharp squeaking sound.

The ping-pong ball drew a sharp white light on the table. Xu Xin shook his wrist, and the racket cut the ball diagonally, returning an extreme side spin.

The opponent reacted extremely quickly, rushed forward, pulled the ball with his backhand, and the ball flew back like a cannonball.

Xu Xin's body swayed, he stepped sideways, and suddenly lifted the racket from bottom to top. The ping-pong ball drew a high arc and fell along the edge of the opponent's table.

The opponent player gritted his teeth and saved the ball, with his racket sweeping across the ground almost touching the ground.

The moment the ping-pong ball bounced on the table, there was a crisp "pop" sound. Immediately afterwards, Xu Xin and Shao Jie exerted force almost at the same time, and the moment the racket and the ball collided, there was a short and powerful hitting sound.

The ping-pong ball turned into a white afterimage and flew towards the opponent's table at an extremely fast speed. It spun strongly and had a tricky trajectory, almost brushing the edge of the net.

The other player reacted very quickly, his eyes flashed, and he quickly adjusted his position.

He took a step forward and made a backhand cut, barely saving the ball back, but the quality of the return was not high and the ball bounced high, giving Xu Xin and Shao Jie an excellent attacking opportunity.

Shaojie's eyes were sharp, his body sank slightly, and he pulled his arms back, preparing for a violent charge.

Xu Xin tacitly gave up the offensive space and adjusted his position, ready to make a rebound at any time.

The moment the ball reached the highest point, Shaojie swung his racket violently. When the racket collided with the ball, there was a loud bang, and the ping-pong ball shot straight into the opponent's table like a cannonball!

The opposing player gritted his teeth and fought back. At the moment the ball was about to hit the table, he shook his wrist and forced a sideways pull, trying to change the trajectory of the ball with a strong side spin.

The ping-pong ball hit the edge of the table and flew out. Xu Xin reacted quickly, lowering his body instantly, almost sticking to the ground, and made an extreme save, hitting the ball back again!

There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

It was such a beautiful fight!

Xu Xin and Shao Jie scored two points in a row, and the game will completely fall into their rhythm.

Beads of sweat appeared on the opponent's forehead and his breathing became slightly rapid. He knew he had to find a way to interrupt the offensive momentum.

Just be steady and don’t let Xu Xin and Shao Jie score consecutively!

Then he took a deep breath and refocused his eyes.

For the next ball, he must change his strategy and no longer passively defend.

He gripped the racket tightly, his knuckles turned slightly white, and stared at Xu Xin and Shao Jie opposite him with sharp eyes.

Before serving, he deliberately slowed down the pace and tapped the table lightly with his racket, adjusting his breathing while disrupting his opponent's rhythm.

"We can't let them lead us by the nose anymore..."

He shook his wrist and suddenly served a very short side spin ball. After the ball passed the net, it fell almost along the net line with a strange rotation.

Xu Xin reacted very quickly, took a step forward and lightly lifted the ball, but the quality of his return was not high.

He instantly moved sideways to attack, and a violent arc shot went straight to Xu Xin's backhand corner!

"Snapped!"

The ball hit the corner of the table like lightning. Xu Xin could barely reach it and hit it. The ball bounced high, drew an irregular arc and flew towards Shaojie's half.

Shaojie's eyes flashed and his feet moved quickly. At the moment when the ball was about to hit the ground, he took a step forward, shook his wrist lightly, and cut the ball back.

The ball passed the net with a strong backspin and bounced lightly on the opponent's table.

The opponent had already predicted it, and his body pressed to the front of the table like a spring. With a quick backhand shot, the ball shot straight towards Xu Xin's position like an arrow.

Xu Xin failed to react in time and the ball almost hit the edge of the table and flew out.

Another dangerous ball!

At the same time, the opponent player was struggling and sweat was dripping down his temple.

This point is so rare for them.

But I told myself in my heart not to be anxious and to take it slow.

At this moment, Xu Xin stood in front of the stage, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the hem of his jersey, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.

Shaojie walked up to him and the two exchanged a few words in a low voice.

"They adjusted their tactics." Shaojie frowned and said, "The backhand was very sudden."

Xu Xin nodded gently: "I will attack the next ball, you pay attention to the position."

The game continued, Xu Xin served. He stood in front of the table, the ball gently turning in his palm, his eyes wandering between the opposing players.

Suddenly, he threw the ball, leaned forward slightly, flicked his wrist, and ran the ball straight towards the opposing player at an extremely fast speed.

The opponent player was well prepared and hit a beautiful loop ball sideways, with the ball flying towards Xu Xin's backhand with a strong topspin.

Xu Xin did not retreat but moved forward and hit the ball with a quick shot.

The opponent was forced to take a half step back and barely blocked the ball.

Shaojie seized the opportunity, made a sudden rush, and the ball hit the opponent like a cannonball.

The opponent's player flew to save the ball, and his racket barely touched the ball, but he was unable to save the situation.

10:7

The other player was breathing heavily and supporting his knees.

It was a pity to lose the ball, but he knew he couldn't be discouraged.

He looked at the scoreboard. If he lost this game again, he would be in dire straits.

"Stick to our tactics," the other player said in a steady voice, "Hit Xu Xin's backhand and force her to move."

Hearing this, he nodded and took a deep breath.

He noticed that Xu Xin's right shoulder was shaking slightly when he wiped the sweat off his face. After continuous high-intensity confrontation, Xu Xin's shoulder seemed to be beginning to show signs of fatigue. This was an opportunity.

It's their turn to serve.

He chose a short ball without spin to Xu Xin's forehand small triangle.

Xu Xin took a short step forward and the ball came back a little high.

Seizing the opportunity, he hit a spinning loop straight to Xu Xin's backhand baseline. Xu Xin barely turned sideways.

The opposing player felt a warm current rising from the soles of his feet, and he knew that the momentum was slowly turning towards them.

After a few rounds of fighting like this, the opposing player still ended up in a thankless situation!

No matter how they played, they could not catch up with Xu Xin and Shao Jie, but they were now very nervous and had to do their best to turn the game around.

Then he looked straight ahead and hit the ping-pong ball onto Xu Xin's table with a bang. When Xu Xin saw the ball coming towards him, he was not in a hurry!

She bent her knees slightly and stared at the flying ping-pong ball with her eyes sharp.

Just as the ball was about to hit the table, Xu Xin shook his wrist, and the racket drew a beautiful arc, pulling the ball back at an extremely tricky angle.

The return ball was fast and spinning, with a strong side spin, and went straight to the opponent's blind spot on the sideline.

Although Shaojie reacted quickly, he was still a beat too slow, and the ball hit the corner of the table and flew out of bounds.

10:8

The opposing player finally scored a point on this ball. For them, this point was simply a blessing for their hard work!

If they continued playing like this, they felt that they would definitely be able to tie the score, so in the following process of playing, they looked straight ahead, not daring to take their eyes off the ping-pong ball for a moment, especially when the ping-pong ball hit the table with a bang!

The whole person began to become extremely nervous!

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He was too familiar with this situation. When his opponent just regained a bit of momentum, it was the moment when his psychological defense was at its weakest.

The ball bounced up with a "bang", he moved sideways, shook his wrist violently, and the racket cut in a strange arc.

The ball seemed to pass over the net lightly, but it fell rapidly the moment it hit the table, turning outward with a strong side spin!

The opponent's pupils shrank, and he quickly took a step forward to save the ball, but as soon as the racket touched the ball, he felt a rotational force that suddenly sent the ball flying - "Snap!" The ball hit the baffle directly!

Fortunately, Xu Xin and Shao Jie cooperated very well. They picked up the ping-pong ball when it was about to fall to the ground and hit it onto the opponent's table.

Anyone who sees such a ball would think that the opponent won the game, but at this moment, Xu Xin turned the tide and successfully saved the ball once again!

When the opposing players saw Xu Xin scoop up the ball, they were extremely surprised. They had planned everything but had never expected this!

Even when everyone present thought that the point was settled, the tacit cooperation between Xu Xin and Shao Jie made the game suspenseful again!

The opposing players had already relaxed their vigilance, and some even slightly turned sideways, preparing to walk to the edge of the table, waiting for the referee to announce the score.

However, just as the ping-pong ball was about to touch the ground, Shaojie took a step forward, flicked his wrist, and gently lifted the ball. Xu Xin had already anticipated it, and with his body almost parallel to the ground, he made an extreme counter-pull, and the ball drew a strange arc, brushing the net and flying towards the opponent's table!

"Bang!" The ball landed in the opponent's corner of the table, bounced and quickly turned sideways. The opponent hurriedly returned the ball but could only watch the ball fly out of bounds!

The whole place was boiling instantly! Because everyone thought it was too incredible that this thing actually happened, and the score became 11 to 8 at this time.

At the same time, deafening cheers broke out from the audience, and some people even stood up excitedly, raising their arms and shouting. The commentator's voice also trembled with excitement:

"This is simply a god-level save! Xu Xin and Shao Jie's cooperation is perfect. They reversed this point in an incredible way!"

However, the opponents stood there, looking at each other, with disbelief written all over their faces.

They thought they had a sure win, but they didn't expect Xu Xin and Shao Jie to create a miracle in desperate situations!

At this time, Xu Xin just smiled slightly, high-fived Shaojie and celebrated, with confidence revealed in his eyes!

The opposing players are in a confused state at the moment, but even so, they still cannot slack off because they still have a chance!

They must not give up on themselves until the last moment, so they become stronger than before!

This ball was sent out by Xu Xin. When the ping-pong ball was sent out, the opponent's eyes refused to leave the ball for a moment. Instead, he stared at the direction where the ping-pong ball was flying!

The moment the ping-pong ball fell, they immediately waved the ping-pong rackets in their hands and hit it directly!

When the ball was hit, they used almost all their strength to fight against it, especially when the ping-pong ball was spinning!

They could clearly feel that Xu Xin's serve was very powerful, and could even kill them with the ping-pong ball, but how could they admit defeat so easily? !

They have seen all kinds of situations. It's just that they lost this round. There are still two rounds to go, which only increases the difficulty for them.

In the current game, if they can save the situation, they will try their best to save it. If they cannot save the situation, they will also try their best. So when the ping-pong ball comes with a bang, then another bang, they try their best to fight back!

Of course, at this time Xu Xin and Shao Jie could also feel the ping-pong ball constantly flying towards them, and the force was very strong. This did not affect their performance. On the contrary, from the moment they saw the ping-pong ball land steadily on the table, Xu Xin swung the ping-pong racket in his hand violently!

When he hit the ball, he was confident because he felt that next was the time for him and Shaojie to work together. Only when the two of them joined forces could they defeat the opposing player directly!

Occasionally, you can see beads of sweat from the opposing players dripping from the corners of their eyes.

But even though they knew that the other players were fighting hard against them, Xu Xin and Shao Jie would definitely not be merciful at this time. Instead, they would quickly decide the table tennis match!

With a bang, they hit the ping-pong ball onto the opponent's table, thinking that this fierce attack could directly defeat the opponent. However, they did not expect that the opponent had already taken measures at this time. Instead, the ping-pong ball in his hand hit Shaojie's table again with a bang at the moment it fell!

When this ball was hit, it was hit with a bit of ferocity, as if it was hitting all the power around it.

But even so, Xu Xin and Shao Jie still work together.
