Table tennis: Swinging the racket billions of times, achieving a grand slam

Chapter 101 [101] The Potential of the Great Devil

in the audience.

There weren't many people watching the game, just a few scattered around.

Almost all of them are contestants.

In addition to Xie Mingyang and Zhang Jiahao, people like Asan Ge, who had been eliminated long ago, were among them.

Everyone was stunned to see Chen Jin and Tanaka Yuta fighting for many backhand shots, and finally one shot pierced through Tanaka Yuta.

I couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

"Damn it, this Chinese boy is even stronger than I thought."

"I believe that when he competed with me before, he only used 50% of his strength to beat me so badly."

"The players on the Chinese team are indeed all devils."

"This backhand is what I dream of, but unfortunately I'm afraid I will never be able to reach this level in my lifetime."

……

Matsushima Terusora and Uda Yukiya sat in the corner and watched the game.

only.

Compared to the passionate Zhang Jiahao, the two of them seemed a little deserted.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Since the start of the game, Yuta Tanaka has only won one goal.

And it was short-lived.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Jin destroyed Tanaka Yuta's proud backhand.

"Just as I expected, Chen Jin was deliberately hiding his weakness in the previous match."

Matsushima Terusora crossed his arms across his chest, his eyes slightly gloomy.

Before this, he had watched Chen Jin play with other people, and he almost always scored with his forehand.

Did not demonstrate his backhand continuity.

In addition, it is a straight blade, which makes Tanaka Yuta have the illusion that Chen Jin's backhand is weak.

Of course, the other party may not be deliberately hiding his abilities and showing weakness to the enemy.

It was more because Chen Jin’s previous opponents were not strong enough to force more out of him.

And now.

During the backhand stalemate with Yuta Tanaka, Chen Jin clearly crushed Yuta Tanaka in terms of speed and strength.

Although Yuta Tanaka's strength is still a long way from the top players, it should not be underestimated.

But he was beaten so badly by a Chinese boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

It is hard to imagine how terrifying this boy will be once he grows up.

"In the Paris Olympics, the world's No. 1 fell, and the Chinese team was almost overturned."

"Ma Taki is old, and Fan Zhendong can't carry the team alone. I thought the Chinese team had no successors. This is our best chance to make a breakthrough."

"But the appearance of this young man may make me afraid..."

Matsushima Terusora stared closely at Chen Jin on the field.

It was as if he saw the potential of a great devil in this young man.

"Wait a minute!"

Matsushima Terusora suddenly remembered something, "My opponent in tomorrow's quarterfinals is also a Chinese player. Will he also be hiding his weakness from me?"

During the qualifying round, Matsushima Terusora watched two games of Xie Mingyang.

I found that this person’s fighting style was particularly ferocious.

It was our first match and we were not familiar with each other’s fighting styles.

If Xie Mingyang also used the tactic of hiding his weaknesses, he would definitely be caught off guard like Tanaka Yuta.

Think of this.

Matsushima Terusora couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at Xie Mingyang not far away.

Zhang Jiahao happened to see this scene and sneered, "This is the seventh time."

"What seventh time?"

Xie Mingyang was stunned.

"In less than ten minutes, that little devil named Matsushima Kaede has secretly looked at you seven times."

Zhang Jiahao glanced at Xie Mingyang, "I wonder if he's attracted to you."

"Matsushima Kaede?"

Xie Mingyang corrected him, "My name is Matsushima Terusora."

"Oh."

Zhang Jiahao was a little embarrassed and scratched his nose. "No wonder I always felt that this little devil's name was not right. I seemed to have seen it somewhere."

"..."

Xie Mingyang no longer paid attention to Zhang Jiahao and turned his gaze to look at Matsushima Terusora.

At this time, Matsushima Terusora had already turned his head and started chatting with Uda Yukiya beside him.

"After this goal, Yuta-kun will definitely lose."

Uda Yukiya said.

There was a hint of gloating in his tone.

In the Neon team, Yukiya Uda and Yuta Tanaka are of similar age and have similar world rankings. Therefore, although they are teammates, there is a tense competition between them.

This time, Yukiya Uda was eliminated in the round of 32 and was ridiculed by Yuta Tanaka, which made him very dissatisfied.

Now seeing that Yuta Tanaka is at a disadvantage, Yukiya Uda feels an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Seeing that Chen Jin's ball not only penetrated Tanaka Yuta's backhand, but also destroyed all of Tanaka Yuta's tactics and confidence in one fell swoop.

If he had not been concerned about his teammate's identity, Yukiya Ueda would have applauded and cheered for Chen Jin long ago.

"Ah."

Matsushima Terusora nodded in agreement, "At least in this round, Yuta-kun is powerless to turn the tide."

The score gap is so big that it is difficult to reverse.

more importantly.

The goal just now really hurt our team's morale and confidence.

At this moment, Yuta Tanaka was probably in a state of panic and had no chance of winning at all.

According to Matsushima Terusora's understanding of Tanaka Yuta, he expected that after being beaten by Chen Jin, he must be dissatisfied and wanted to fight back to get back the loss.

This mentality seems strong.

In fact, his own rhythm in the game had been completely disrupted.

As long as Yuta Tanaka loses one more point, the game will be over.

In a best-of-five match, the outcome of the first game is particularly important.

If we fail to adjust our mentality and tactical play in time, the entire game will probably be in jeopardy.

8: 1.

Turning his head to look at the scoreboard, Tanaka Yuta was still a little confused: "Isn't this guy using a straight blade?"

"Isn't the backhand combo of a penholder weak and unable to compete with a horizontal blade?"

"Why is this kid's backhand so strong?"

Before the battle against Chen Jin, although Tanaka Yuta expressed contempt, in fact, he was not completely unprepared.

I found a lot of competition videos of Chinese straight-blade players on the Internet.

Including Wang Hao and Xu Xin.

Even straight-blade masters such as Su Zhi and Yu Diyang who often appear in commercial competitions.

Everyone's straight-blade horizontal hitting style has its own characteristics, but the essence remains the same.

Except Wang Hao.

No matter how strong the backhand of a penholder is, it is clearly at a disadvantage when competing against the backhand of a horizontal blade.

As for Wang Hao, the master of horizontal hitting with a straight-blade, his backhand is so strong that it can compete with the forehand of a horizontal-blade. It is truly terrifying.

But how many Wang Haos are there in the world?
not to mention.

Wang Hao's backhand continuous arcing, the movement arc, and the wide opening and closing are no longer in line with the current 40+ plastic ball era.

Yuta Tanaka found out that Chen Jin's coach was also Wang Hao's coach.

I originally thought that Chen Jin's backhand horizontal hit, posture and movements must be very similar to Wang Hao's.

Therefore, he can fully utilize his speed to suppress Chen Jin's backhand.

Never imagined.

Chen Jin's backhand horizontal hit has a small movement range and concentrated explosive power, which is very different from Wang Hao's at the beginning.

Instead, it was more like Fan Zhendong's backhand burst from the horizontal board.

Not only is it fast, but it is also powerful and its rotation is not weak at all.

It was completely beyond Yuta Tanaka's expectations.

"Isn't this boy trained by the same coach as the Chinese men's team's head coach Wang Hao?"

Yuta Tanaka was puzzled, "Same penholder horizontal hitting, same coach, why is there such a big difference in the backhand playing style between the two people?"

Rao is so.

Yuta Tanaka was holding back his anger and still refused to believe it.

"It's impossible for a straight-blade backhand to be so strong."

"Maybe I landed too accurately..."

"No, today I have to beat this kid's backhand and ask for an explanation for my backhand."

Before the game, he made a bold statement to his two teammates that in this match, he would definitely defeat Chen Jin's backhand.

But now, he was defeated by Chen Jin.

If I don’t get back my ground, how will I face my teammates after the game is over?

Especially Yukiya Uda.

After all, when he learned that Yukiya Uda lost in the round of 32, Yuta Tanaka once ridiculed him: "Don't think that you can become the world's number one just because you made it to the round of 32."

If I lose in the round of 16, it seems there is nothing to be proud of.

At best, it's just the pot calling the kettle black.

Think about this.

Tanaka Yuta has made up his mind: "How did Chen Jin beat me up just now? I must fight back and beat him up!"

Take a deep breath.

Bend your legs slightly and lower your body.

There were bloodshot eyes as he stared fiercely at Chen Jin opposite him.
