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

Chapter 127: Reversal! Dako's mentality explodes!

Chen Jin's roar echoed.

The momentum is fully opened.

Even Dako was shocked.

Like hearing a dragon's roar.

But soon, Dako calmed down.

"Want to catch up?"

Dako's eyes darkened slightly, revealing a sharp tone, "No way!"

The score difference advantage he now has is much greater than Chen Jin's in the previous game.

Moreover, as long as they can keep calm and prevent Chen Jin from equalizing the score.

Then if I win three more points, I can win the second game.

As for Chen Jin, if he wants to turn the tables, he has to win at least eight points in a row.

What does it mean to win eight points in a row against a master like Dako?
"Do you think I'm just a decoration?"

With this in mind, Da Ke did not dare to slack off at all.

As long as the ball hasn't hit the ground, anything is possible.

What if the other party really turns the tables, wouldn’t my reputation be ruined?

Dako took a deep breath.

Concentrate.

3: 8.

Chen Jin still serves with counter-spin.

Right of center line.

Dako quickly stepped forward and occupied the right half of the table.

The right leg is in front, with the body weight on the side of the left leg.

Keep your chest and abdomen tucked in, and your waist and abdomen tight.

Lower your shoulders and raise your elbows.

The wrists are bent inward.

The backhand twisting and pulling action is as smooth as flowing water, done in one go, very nice.

The only regret is.

He misjudged the spin of Chen Jinfa's ball.

Compared with horizontal racket, the reverse spin serve with straight racket requires more flexible wrist use.

Therefore, the rotation is stronger.

In order to confuse Dako, Chen Jin made a rather concealed wrist hook fake move at the moment of serving.

Dako thought that the ball was spinning sideways.

The twisting and pulling of the blade and wrist do not provide enough friction to offset the strong backspin.

"laugh!"

The twisted and pulled arc couldn't get up.

Hit the net and went out of bounds.

"Ok?"

Dako frowned, "Isn't it a topspin?"

Confused, I looked down and took a look.

Although there wasn't much dust on the racket surface, he still blew on it and wiped both sides a few times.

8: 4.

Change sides to serve.

Dako was already standing in the forehand position, preparing to serve backhand.

But then I thought again.

In the first game, Chen Jin had basically adapted to his backhand serve.

Chen Jin handled the serve quite calmly.

If it were sent too frequently, it would pose no threat to Chen Jin.

So, Dako went back to the backhand position.

Toss the ball and lead the racket.

Chen Jinqiu served a forehand serve halfway out of the table near the center line of the table.

"On the side?"

Chen Jin saw through it at a glance.

Decisively turn sideways and rush forward with your forehand.

"Snapped!"

The ping-pong ball rushed towards the middle of Dako's body.

But the ping-pong ball came towards him like a wolf or a tiger, and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Dako hastily pulled his hand back to block it.

however.

Chen Jin's shot was in a straight line, with a shorter distance and faster speed.

Dako was being held in a fixed position and couldn't take the initiative to exert any force.

The ping-pong ball hit the racket and bounced out of bounds before Dako could even exert any force.

8: 5.

Chen Jin scored another point.

His left fist was clenched and his eyes were fierce.

In these few balls, Chen Jin not only strengthened his pace and his approach.

The most important thing is to actively seek changes in landing points starting from the serving round.

The beating made Dako feel very awkward and uncomfortable, and he felt like he had the power but nowhere to use it.

In less than two minutes, Chen Jin scored three points in a row.

Seeing that the gap was only three points, no matter how good Dako's mentality was, he couldn't help but feel a little fluctuating and stressed.

Under the premise of coexistence of strength and confidence, sometimes giving points is also a tactic.

Once the trend of catching up is formed, the leading team will face enormous psychological pressure.

Dako at this time is a good example.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jin fell behind 2:8 was not because he deliberately gave points like before.

In the men's singles final, the opponent is Dako again, who dares to give points?

It was simply because, in the second game, Dako adjusted his touch and tactical movements faster than Chen Jin.

Plus.

When Dako was leading in the score, he hit two lucky balls in a row that hit the net and the edge of the net, which changed Chen Jin's mentality.

Chen Jin's fluctuating mentality led to more mistakes.

By the second game, the score was on the edge of a cliff.

Chen Jin tried his best to adjust his state and calm himself down.

"If I remember correctly, there was a match between the Dragons and Darko before, and in one of the innings, they were also behind by four or five points."

"At that time, the Dragon team used reverse spin serve to increase the change in landing points, and finally reversed Dako and won the game."

Think of this.

Suddenly, it was as if God helped me.

Chen Jin acted decisively and changed his serving method.

Follow the same method and you will see immediate results.

The goal we won just now when the score was 2:8 was not just about points.

It is a kind of faith that is like inviting a god to possess you!

After scoring three points in one breath, Chen Jin's heart immediately calmed down.

On the other hand, Dakota is under increasing pressure.

However, Dako has particularly rich experience in major competitions.

The ability to self-adjust is also excellent.

"I still have a three-point advantage, so there's no need to rush."

"More hands, hit the ground."

"We can't let the other side control the tempo of the game. We have to pull the tempo back."

"Hoo ho ho..."

Dako jumped a few times on the spot, making noises with his mouth.

Standing on the left half of the stage, he slightly tilted his body and looked at Chen Jin opposite him.

Then, serve with forehand.

The action and landing point are almost exactly the same as the previous serve.

To an outsider, it would seem like it was sideways again.

But, Chen Jin has such a keen eye.

The moment Dako served the ball, he made an immediate judgment.

"Spin down!"

Step forward and swing briefly.

The return ball landed right on the center line of the opponent's half of the table.

By this time, Dako had already made up his mind about the tactic of "getting more shots and hitting the target".

With a sudden flick of his wrist, he twisted and pulled Chen Jin's forehand towards the half-table baseline.

I originally thought that the small movement of the wrist could shake Chen Jin's backhand.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin was staring very closely.

A quick forehand shot straight to the center of Dako.

The ball was shot at an extremely fast speed, and Dako had not yet recovered from his twisting and pulling motion, so he quickly wiped it with his backhand.

But he missed the target and the ping-pong ball hit his index finger.

6: 8.

The gap narrowed again.

in the audience.

Seeing this, Tanaka Yuta's brows furrowed like twists: "Four points in a row? Are we really going to be overturned by Chen Jin?"

"Chen Jin's first three boards are really strong."

Yukiya Uda nodded and said, "If it were me, I would hit his long ball and compete with Chen Jin in topspin."

"Fighting and holding off? That may not work."

Matsushima Terusora shook his head. "Didn't you watch Chen Jin's match with Francesca yesterday? Chen Jin's topspin stalemate was equally powerful."

"what?"

Yukiya Ueda frowned, "Doesn't he have any weaknesses?"

"At least I haven't found it yet."

Matsushima Terusora couldn't help but sigh, "I thought that once Ma Taki and Fan Zhendong retired, our Neon Team would have a chance to rise."

"I didn't expect that the Chinese team would have such a talented young man."

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to challenge the Chinese team's dominance in the future."

Yuta Tanaka sat next to him, opened his mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He originally wanted to make a few rebuttals.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

After all, as Chen Jin's defeated general, he had no qualifications to evaluate Chen Jin.

"It's tied at eight to eight."

I heard Yukiya Ueda say in a deep voice.

"Nani?"

Tanaka Yuta was surprised, "So fast?"

Surprised, he looked towards the stadium.

But the score on the referee's table was indeed tied at 8-8.

"Six points in a row?"

Tanaka Yuta's brows furrowed even deeper, and his expression and words were filled with a hint of complaint, "This Dako is too careless."

Inside the arena.

As the person involved, Dako was more upset than Yuta Tanaka.

He never expected that the six-point advantage he originally held would be completely consumed and wiped out in just a few minutes.

"what's the situation?"

"I tried my best, but why did I still lose?"

“Is it a problem of landing point?”

"No, it's not my landing point that's the problem."

"It's that the opponent has strengthened the change of landing points."

"I can't go on like this. I have to get the rhythm of the game back to the stalemate and change of direction that I'm familiar with as soon as possible."

Just thinking about it.

A white shadow flashed past.

Looking closely, he saw that it was the ping-pong ball thrown at him by the referee.

Dako quickly reached out to catch it: "We must make good use of these two serves to open up the situation."

This time, Dako didn't hesitate.

Stand straight on the forehand position.

Backhand serve, straight and long.

"Again?"

Chen Jin predicted the situation in advance, took a half step back, and pushed his body's center of gravity forward.

Backhand hit, forward diagonal.

And at this time.

Dako had already returned to the backhand position, but his feet were not yet in position. So, he defended the ball closely as a transition.

"Snapped!"

Chen Jin tensed his waist and abdomen, and used his forearms and wrists to exert force, tearing the opponent's backhand apart.

Great power and great speed.

If you force the line to change, it may be difficult to control the arc.

Without any choice.

Dako could only fight back.

Try to find opportunities and change lines actively in the multi-board stalemate.

Unfortunately.

This time, Chen Jin didn't give him any chance at all.

But Chen Jin's body position and the shape of the board in his hand were slightly adjusted at an extremely fast speed.

Facing Dako's counterattack, Chen Jin used the force to launch a powerful bomb.

"Snapped!"

Backhand straight line!
To know.

Wang Hao's backhand straight line change was gradually developed under the guidance of Coach Wu.

Moreover, according to Coach Wu, his requirement for Wang Hao is not only to "change the backhand into a straight line", but also to "backhand hit a straight line".

Although there is only one letter difference, there is a huge difference in power and speed between the two.

If Chen Jin couldn't even learn the Wu school's unique move, "backhand straight line shot", how could he be qualified to become Coach Wu's last disciple?
Compared to Dako's backhand, it becomes a straight line.

Chen Jin is even more ferocious.

It was like the sword stabbed out by a peerless swordsman at the top of the Forbidden City on a full-moon night.

It also seemed like a divine sword slash swung by a lone swordsman.

Strength, speed, timing... everything has reached perfection.

No one can stop it.

Even if Athens Liu, Yokohama Hao, Dianfeng Ao, and Suzhou Long were present in person, it wouldn't work.

Dako could only watch as his original lead was overtaken by Chen Jin.

8: 9.

Dako's heart trembled.

Despite having a huge score advantage, the situation was reversed in just a few minutes.

This kind of pressure and blow is huge for any athlete.

"Cuo Le!"

Seeing the score reversed, Zhang Jiahao jumped up, clenched his fist and roared.

The sound resounded throughout the venue.

"He scored seven points in a row and overtook the score... Chen Jin actually did it."

Xie Mingyang took a deep breath and finally looked a little relaxed, but the shock in his eyes had never faded at all.

"Oh my God!"

Li Linghan, who was sitting alone in the corner, witnessed this scene, covering her mouth with her bare hands. She was also stunned and shocked. "From 2:8, to 9:8 in one go... What kind of strength and courage does it take to do this?"

The key point is that Chen Jin’s opponents are not those unknown people.

It’s Darko Jockey, who is ranked 19th in the world and the European triple crown winner!
At the scene, many people were amazed by Chen Jin's reversal.

Only Tanaka Yuta had a gloomy face, as if he had lost his parents: "What kind of rubbish is Dako? How could he let Chen Jin overtake the score?"

but.

The game is not over yet, the outcome is still uncertain, and Dako still has a chance to turn the situation around.

Moreover, Dako also has such strength.

"Steady, don't panic."

Dako kept reminding himself in his heart, "I still have a chance to win."

"Whoo~"

Taking a long breath, Dako tried to calm himself down.

Stand in the forehand position.

At this crucial point that decides life and death, Dako trusts his backhand serve more.

Counter-spin, right of center line.

The landing point is a bit conservative.

Chen Jin stepped forward quickly, lowered his body, and followed the rotation, making a slight short move.

Dako quickly chopped Chen Jin's backhand.

Chen Jin rushed forward with his backhand.

Dako, tear it apart quickly.

Chen Jin fought back with all his strength.

"laugh--"

The return ball hits the side.

Chen Jin immediately raised his hand and said "sorry".

On the other side, Dako almost exploded.

But, he finally held back.

After all, luck is also part of strength.

In previous games, he also had some lucky shots that hit the edge of the net.

"Mr. Xie, did you see that?
Zhang Jiahao turned around and smiled at Xie Mingyang, "The ancestor of my Zhang family has finally appeared!"

"If your ancestors were really that powerful, why does Dako also have a luck ball?"

Xie Mingyang said calmly.

"You know a hammer!"

Zhang Jiahao snorted softly, "The key points were just barely missed, that's real luck."

10: 8.

Not only did Chen Jin reverse the score, he also took the lead and got the match point.

Moreover, it was his serve.

Chen Jin was merciless. He took advantage of Dako's mental breakdown and decisively stole a long ball from him down the middle.

His serve was both sharp and powerful.

In addition, Dako's fighting spirit was low and he was a little distracted.

Return ball error.

11: 8.

Chen Jin won the second game without any danger.

He put down the racket, picked up the towel, wiped the sweat off his face, and walked back to the sidelines.

"What's going on with two to eight?"

Li Qian handed over the water bottle and asked with lingering fear, "This is the finals, you have to be sober. I almost had a heart attack just now."

"Dake's condition and touch were very good, and coupled with two lucky goals, his mentality was a bit bad."

Chen Jin smiled.

"Fortunately, we adjusted in time and finally won the second game."

Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

more importantly.

The reversal must have been a huge blow to Dako's morale.

If Dako cannot adjust in time, the direction of the entire game will be clear.

"In the third game, we played the same way as in the second half of the second game, adjusting the placement and being aggressive."

"We will take advantage of Dako's mental breakdown and win the game."

No need for Li Qian to remind him.

Chen Jin had the same idea.

In the third game, Chen Jin was full of confidence and momentum.

Basically continue the playing style of the second game.

But he strengthened his sideways movement and attacked with his forehand.

And Dako was obviously affected by the reversal in the second game.

Both the mentality and the touch were at a low point.

In an instant, the defeat was overwhelming.

Chen Jin directly scored an exaggerated 8:0.

Dako was completely confused.

I turned my head and looked at the scoreboard. The score of 0:8 was particularly eye-catching.

Dako gritted his teeth and said, "Since Chen Jin can turn the tables 2:8, can't I turn the tables 0:8?"

"Hey, man, you gotta pull yourself together!"

"Hurry up and get over the loss in the last game and concentrate on the game."

"Have you forgotten the purpose of participating in this competition?"

"champion!"

Keep motivating yourself in your heart.

Dako managed to regain some of his mentality and successfully scored two points.

Just when he wanted to make a final push and catch up.

At this moment.

Chen Jin showed no martial ethics and raised his hand to decisively call for a timeout.

"?"

Dako then remembered, "Don't I still have a chance to pause?"

"Then why didn't I use it in the last game?"

"unwise!"

If in the last game, when Chen Jin started to catch up, he would call a timeout to interrupt Chen Jin's feel and rhythm.

Who knows, the situation might be very different.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret.

Chen Jin was not in a hurry. He wiped the sweat off his face, drank some water, and ate a piece of banana.

"Eight to two again."

Li Qian smiled bitterly, "My heartbeat starts speeding up when I see the score now."

"My liver is starting to ache."

As he said this, he reached out and covered it.

"Master Li, that's the kidney you're covering, right?"

Chen Jin smiled.

"Don't be so rude."

Li Qian coughed twice and said seriously, "No matter what, don't underestimate Dako. He definitely has the ability to turn the tables."

"Make more changes to limit Dako's initiative."

"Pay attention to continuity and connection."

"Try to win the third game in one go."

"come on!"

After high-fiving Li Qian.

Chen Jin took the towel and returned to the court first.

As it turned out, Chen Jin's timing of this pause was perfect.

This curbed Dako's pursuit of points, and also made Dako's newly hot touch gradually cool down in this short one-minute timeout.

In the end, 11:2.

Chen Jin won another victory.

"Fuck!"

Zhang Jiahao was very excited, "Another 3:0, is Brother Jin going to sweep Dako?"

As we all know, Francesca and Darko are the top and second seeds of this tournament respectively.

If Chen Jin can really sweep the two and win the Lima championship.

The value of this championship is extremely high!
"The last round, a matter of life and death."

Xie Mingyang said, "No matter how bad Dako's mentality is, he will give it a try."

"It depends on whether Chen Jin can hold on."

"Of course, even if I can't hold on and lose a game, it doesn't matter."

"With Chen Jin's strength, Dako can't turn the tables."

at the same time.

the other side.

Matsushima Terusora laughed and said, "11:2? How could a European triple crown winner be beaten so badly by an unknown Chinese teenager?"

"Fortunately, the Lima race is not of a high level and has not received much attention. Otherwise, where would Dako put his face?"

Yukiya Ueda followed suit and smiled.

At the same time, one can't help but sigh that the Chinese team has produced such a monster, and it will be difficult to deal with them in the future.

Tanaka Yuta sneered: "It's only 3:0, best of seven, Dako still has a chance."

"If Dako were to come back from 3-0 down, Chen Jin would be the one to be embarrassed."

Come back from 3-0 to 4-0?

Matsushima Terusora and Uda Yukiya looked at each other and said with a smile, "Yuta-kun, given the current situation, do you think this is possible?"

"The game is not over yet, anything is possible."

Yuta Tanaka crossed his arms across his chest, his expression was cold and his tone was icy.

　Sorry, it's a little later than expected.

　　To express my apologies, I will update 4000 more words tomorrow, which is already the limit.
