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

Chapter 128: 5- Dako! Chen Jin wins the championship! (K)

The overall score is 3:0.

Final match point.

Seeing Chen Jin win the third game with great strength, Li Qian was more nervous than excited.

The whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Before leading the team here, he never dreamed that Chen Jin would have such a huge advantage in the battle with Dako.

There was even a secret prediction before the game that even if Chen Jin could win the championship this time, given Dako's strength, the match between the two would be extremely tense.

The score was close, rising alternately.

After seven full games, Chen Jin turned the tables and defeated Dako.

For this purpose, Li Qian had already prepared himself mentally for a fierce battle and secretly hid a few quick-acting heart pills in case of emergency.

however.

Imagination is just imagination after all.

For a moment, Li Qian didn't know whether he overestimated Dako or underestimated Chen Jin.

The third game just ended.

11: 2.

Chen Jin simply treated Dako as a human machine.

That’s the European Triple Crown!

You are a newcomer and you treat others so badly. Don’t they have any dignity?

With this momentum and state, let alone winning the championship, it is not impossible to sweep Dako.

"Don't think too much about it for now, just win the fourth game steadily, that's the key."

"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath..."

After taking several long breaths, Li Qian finally calmed himself down.

"Fight, fight well."

Li Qian's voice was trembling a little. "But the game is not over yet, so we can't relax."

"Don't underestimate Dako. He has the ability to turn the tables..."

Taking the water bottle from Li Qian, Chen Jin took a small sip and moistened his lips.

Then he picked up the banana and chewed it slowly.

"Teacher Li."

Chen Jin glanced at him and smiled, "Why do you look more nervous than me?"

"You guys are wasting your energy on the court, and we are wasting our energy off the court."

Li Qian smiled bitterly, "Do you understand now? The prize money I gave you was to save for your heart disease in the future."

"Let's talk about the game. Although you beat Dako in the third game, in the fourth game, which was a crucial game of life and death, even if Dako's mentality was broken, he would definitely give it a try."

"You have to think carefully about how to play this game."

"Of course, we have a big enough advantage now, so it doesn't matter if he wins one round."

The implication is that Chen Jin should not have any psychological pressure.

When you get to the competition field, just focus on the game.

Even if you lose, there is still room for error.

But Chen Jin shook his head and disagreed.

"In my experience, the more crucial the game is, the more aggressive and ruthless you have to be than your opponent."

Deep in the dark pupils, a sharp edge was revealed, as if containing the light of a sword. Chen Jin said in a deep voice, "We must not give the opponent any chance to counterattack."

At this moment, his mentality, touch and score were enough to crush Dako.

In this situation, if Dako could win a game, he would basically be done with the game.

"The fourth game must be the last game."

"Use violence to fight violence, use killing to stop killing!"

After listening to Chen Jin's words.

There was a chilling murderous intent in his words.

Li Qian felt a chill in his heart.

"it is good!"

Li Qian's eyes became more determined. "In the last round, we will fight violence with violence and stop killing with killing!"

The voice just fell.

The referee's voice came: "Time, please."

The break is over and the game begins.

"come on!"

After clapping hands with Chen Jin, Li Qian sat down again, folded his hands across his chest, with a solemn expression and fierce eyes.

【As shown】

Under the gaze of everyone present.

Chen Jin and Dako returned to the competition.

In comparison, Chen Jin's condition is naturally more relaxed.

After all, he had four game points.

The expression on Dako's face was far less relaxed than Chen Jin's.

But it also reveals a bit of perseverance.

no doubt.

At the final game point, on the edge of the cliff, he had to fight with his back against the wall and give it his all.

In the fourth game, Dako serves.

There was silence.

It was as if everything was still.

"Da da da, da da da..."

The sound of the ping-pong ball bouncing on the table became particularly deafening at this moment.

"Whoo~"

Take a deep breath.

Dako glanced at Chen Jin.

But Chen Jin bent his legs slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and his whole body was almost level with the table.

Only a pair of sharp and fierce eyes were revealed.

It was like a cheetah hiding in the bushes, bending its body like an arrow, gathering strength and ready to strike.

Once the prey approaches, he will pounce on it immediately and tear it into pieces with his sharp and powerful claws.

Drink their blood and eat their flesh.

As soon as his eyes met Chen Jin's.

Instantly.

He had an illusion that he was unarmed and walking alone in the wilderness, and unfortunately ran into a wolf that exuded a bloodthirsty aura.

lone wolf!

Dako's heart was shocked.

He immediately turned his head away, not daring to look Chen Jin in the eye.

Lean down.

As Darko threw the ball upwards.

The fourth game of the men's singles final in Lima officially kicked off.

"laugh!"

Forehand serve to the left half of the table.

Side down.

Chen Jin predicted the rotation in advance.

Step forward quickly and seize the opportunity to land.

Push the ground firmly with your left leg, and tighten your waist and abdomen to accumulate strength.

Relax your wrists and keep them naturally adducted.

The moment the ball takes off.

The strength of the thighs, waist and abdomen suddenly burst out.

The moment of hitting the ball.

Fingers and wrists, snap suddenly.

Twist inside the stage!
Power rotates to perfection.

A diagonal shot straight to Dako's backhand.

Dako stood firm and swung his backhand.

but,
He underestimated and misjudged Chen Jin's twisting and spinning.

It's not that he can control the curve of the ball with his strength.

Plus, his touch is no longer the same as it was at the beginning of the game.

"Snapped!"

The sound was like thunder and the momentum was shocking.

But the ball went out of bounds.

0: 1.

Although it was only the first ball of the game, it was obvious that both players were more proactive in their play.

And Dako fought even more ferociously, leaving almost no way for retreat.

"Hold on!"

Dako was a little annoyed, but not discouraged, "Go ahead, fight, there is still a chance."

Serve again.

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

Only the rotation became sideways.

however.

This can't fool Chen Jin.

Be decisive and twist and pull in a straight line.

I thought that Dako would take advantage of the situation to hit the ball back at a large angle from his forehand position.

Unexpectedly, Dako glanced at his wrist and chose to pull the opposite straight line.

Chen Jin was also shaken by Dako's fake move and was about to swing his racket to hit the forehand.

A quick glance revealed something was wrong.

"Oops!"

Chen Jin's heart sank.

He quickly turned around and defended with his backhand.

Unfortunately, in such a rush, I failed to get the target right.

The ping-pong ball hit halfway and flew out of bounds.

1: 1.

Change sides to serve.

Chen Jin chose neither hook shot nor reverse rotation.

Instead, he hit a long and quick forehand serve.

The speed was so fast, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, it went straight to Dako's backhand baseline.

This serve is definitely not Chen Jin's usual style of play.

Dako was caught off guard.

It's too late to retreat.

His backhand position was blocked by the long ball and he didn't have enough space to hit the ball.

"Break!"

The edge of the board flies up.

2: 1.

"Has this kid also learned to grow secretly?"

Dako was a little depressed. "You are so young, why don't you learn something good?"

But soon, he discovered.

The reason why Chen Jin hit the long ball was not on a whim, but it was done occasionally.

This is clearly his tactic for this round!
Because Chen Jin's second serve was also a long ball in the middle.

And it's a sideways topspin.

However, this long ball was not the same quick long ball as before.

However, the arc is flatter.

"Sideways, long ball..."

Dako frowned secretly, "What does this boy mean?"

The tactical system is completely different from the first three games.

It seems like his playing style has changed.

Don't think about it.

Dako stepped forward to grab the position and twisted and pulled with his backhand.

Taking small steps and adjusting at any time, Chen Jin calculated the landing point accurately, quickly turned sideways, and rushed forward with his forehand.

"Snapped!"

The ping-pong ball flew in the air, drawing a long arc, with a strong rotation, and hit the diagonal bottom corner of the opposite right half of the table.

at this time.

Dako had already leaped behind him and retreated to the middle and far distance.

Lower your waist, swing your elbows, and pull back to the middle.

Adjusting his steps at the speed of light, Chen Jin stood in the middle near the table and turned sideways again.

Squat down and push the ground hard with your right foot.

All the strength in my body poured out.

"Snapped!"

Forehand burst.

Power through the bottom plate!
Knowing the power of Chen Jin's move, Zhongtai may not be able to withstand it.

Dako made a prompt decision and took another half step back to relieve the force.

At the same time, keep your body low.

With a loud shout, he pulled back to the center line at low altitude.

This ball was not only powerful but also had a strong arc.

In normal play, you have to retreat from the table.

However, Chen Jin firmly stood in the middle and near the table and vowed not to retreat.

Instead of retreating, the body pushes forward.

Using the center of gravity of his body, he was able to suppress the arc of Dako's ball.

"Snapped!"

Use the force to blast the opponent's backhand diagonally.

More power and more speed.

Fortunately, Dako had already retreated to the far platform, crossed his steps, and leaped out. At the same time, he threw the ball backhand.

"Snapped!"

The hits were loud.

Unfortunately, he failed to keep his feet steady and the strength in his hands was not enough to control the arc.

The return ball went out of bounds again.

1: 3.

In the match point game, Dako fell behind again.

in the audience.

Zhang Jiahao rubbed his palms together, his face full of excitement, and grinned, "It's stable, it's stable, the championship is stable."

Based on his understanding of Chen Jin.

In the game, as long as Chen Jin was leading, no one could make a comeback.

"Chen Jin's play in this round seems to be more aggressive than before."

A bystander sees things more clearly. Xie Mingyang had already seen some of the clues from it.

"I have played so many games with Brother Jin, and I know his playing style very well."

Zhang Jiahao laughed and said, "Once the game reaches match point, the opponent will usually fight hard."

"And Jin's philosophy has always been to fight violence with violence and stop killing with killing."

"We must suppress the opponent and not let him gain any momentum."

Fight violence with violence, stop killing with killing?

This idea seems to be quite good indeed!

Stole, stole...oh no, borrowed, borrowed!
I may also try it in my future competitions!
Xie Mingyang was also very clear in his mind: "This kind of fighting style of fighting violence with violence and stopping killing with killing requires strong strength and confidence to support it."

“Otherwise, it would be impossible to do it.”

Therefore, improving strength is the key issue.

"Brother Jin won the championship, so we must have an extra meal tonight."

With Chen Jin's strength, he was not afraid to open champagne at halftime. Zhang Jiahao had even thought of a way to celebrate and became more and more excited.

"can."

Xie Mingyang nodded and said, "Anyway, the game is over this afternoon. Let's go to Chifa Restaurant in Lima's Chinatown tonight. I'll treat you."

"Tsk, you're pretending to be rich in front of me again."

Zhang Jiahao snorted coldly, "What I mean by extra food is to reward Brother Jin with one of my rare collections."

"Rare and rare collection?"

Xie Mingyang frowned, "Isn't this another mysterious website?"

"of course not!"

Zhang Jiahao answered decisively, "Have you seen my tablet? When I bought it a year ago, it had 1 terabyte of storage, but now it only has 82 gigabytes."

"Ah."

Xie Mingyang smiled contemptuously, "Your collection is quite rich."

"That is."

As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Xie Mingyang's words, Zhang Jiahao raised his chin slightly.

Xie Mingyang turned his head and stopped talking to Zhang Jiahao.

Turning his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Matsushima Terusora and the other two sitting side by side not far away.

The three of them were whispering to each other.

"When Chen Jinjun started this game, his playing style and rhythm were obviously different."

Yukiya Uda nodded and said, "Not only has the initiative to hit the ball more, but even the serve is all topspin."

"I understand."

Matsushima Teruko thought about it and suddenly realized, "Chen Jinjun knew that Dako would fight hard in the fourth round. He didn't want to be too passive, so he also stepped up his fighting."

"Chen Jinjun's current mentality, touch and condition can crush Dako. Even if he fights with Dako in topspin, he will still have the upper hand."

more importantly.

The 7:2 lead proved that there was nothing wrong with Chen Jin's tactical play.

The fiercer Chen Jin fought, the more powerful his momentum became.

He was in an excited state, his pace, touch, and stage appearance rate were all better than Dako's.

On the other hand, Dakota lost several games in a row and the score gap continued to widen.

The mentality of fighting hard is on the verge of collapse.

Morale is low.

Even the steps under my feet became particularly heavy.

"Topspin, that's how I play the ball."

A smile appeared on Matsushima Terusora's lips. "If I can meet Dako in the next game, I can also try this tactical style."

3: 7.

Dako finally won another point by relying on a backhand serve and Chen Jin's mistake in rushing halfway out of the table.

But, it’s a drop in the bucket.

There is no way to make up the five-point gap.

This is the match point!

Given the two of them being in such a different state, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to turn the tables.

Chen Jin scored the goal.

Another long ball from the side.

In this game, all of Chen Jinfa's shots were topspin.

The intention is very clear, which is to confront Dako head-on for multiple boards.

After serving.

Chen Jin immediately took a half step back and moved on to the next move.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

……

After several consecutive forehand attacks, Dako was forced to retreat from the table without any chance of defense.

"Snapped!"

Chen Jin fired another barrage from the center.

Pull through Darko's defense.

8: 3.

One step closer to the championship.

however.

Darko didn't give up struggling, he just put down his racket.

He gestured and called a pause.

no way.

The opponent's momentum was too strong, and the feel of his attack became more and more intense.

But my own condition fell to the bottom.

Although the score gap is obvious, competitive sports are full of variables.

The game remained suspenseful even before the ball landed.

Therefore, Dako decisively called a timeout for himself to slow down the opponent's rhythm and adjust his own state.

"At this point, calling a timeout is useless."

Li Qian laughed softly, "The championship will be ours sooner or later!"

"Of course, we still have to be careful."

"When we go back from the break, don't show any mercy and keep the championship firmly in your hands."

Chen Jin nodded: "I understand."

At this moment, he was only three points away from the first international championship in his life!

Take a deep breath.

Chen Jin held the towel and wiped his cheek vigorously.

Then, my whole body relaxed.

He stepped back onto the field with brisk steps.

The moment he picked up the racket, he seemed like a different person, full of fighting spirit.

Long ball.

Still a long ball.

After returning from the timeout, Dako obviously recovered some of his form.

Move horizontally and sideways quickly.

Decisive forehand attack.

Explosive slash!

I have to say that the quality of his goal was so high that he deserved the title of European Treble.

However, Chen Jin’s condition at this moment was at its peak.

A mere pause had no effect on him at all.

The body is like a colorful phoenix with two flying wings.

Chen Jinfei rushed to the forehand and violently counterattacked.

straight line!

Power, speed, rotation, and placement, all combined.

Once again, he penetrated Dako's backhand.

3: 9.

Dako's hand was shaking as he served the ball.

As the European triple crown winner, is it really going to lose to an unknown newcomer today?
Not willing to give in!

Do not!
calm down!

The game isn't over yet, I haven't lost yet!
There is still a chance to turn the tables!
Dako glanced at Chen Jin on the opposite side and decisively served the ball long.

Fight to the death.

Unfortunately, Chen Jin was well prepared.

Quickly retreat from the table and throw the ball backhand.

"Snapped!"

The ball was like thunder that shocked the nine heavens, reaching the sky and the underworld.

Using Dako's best backhand technique, he once again penetrated Dako's backhand.

Who would have thought that such quality could come from a straight backhand!

"Wow—"

There was an exclamation at the scene.

3: 10.

Game point, also match point.

It’s also the championship point!
Li Qian, Zhang Jiahao, Li Linghan and others all looked nervous, clenched their fists, held their breath, and stared at every move on the field.

Even Xie Mingyang couldn't help but feel secretly nervous at this moment.

"Gulu!"

He swallowed hard.

Matsushima Terusora and others folded their arms across their chests, also staring intently.

this moment.

It seems that the flow of time has also become much slower.

Although he knew that the situation was hopeless and he could do nothing to change it, Da Ke did not relax at all.

Never give up until the ball drops!
This is the most basic quality for every professional athlete.

Darko once again stood in the forehand position.

Backhand serve.

Half-released.

Chen Jin slowed down the pace and made high loops.

One word: transfer!

With murderous intent in his eyes, Dako struck back.

"Snapped!"

The ball flew out of bounds.

11: 3.

Instantly.

It was as if the whole world suddenly stopped.

Chen Jin stood there, lost in thought for a moment.

Just one second seemed like a century.

champion?

Did I really win the championship?

Yes!

You are the champion!

The first international championship in my life!

next second.

For some reason, Chen Jin suddenly wanted to cry.

Before the game, he had imagined the scene of winning the championship countless times.

Jump onto the table?

Tearing the jersey?

Cross your arms and give a thumbs up?

Kick the billboard to pieces?

……

But he never thought that the moment of winning the championship would actually come.

The celebration moves that I had planned in advance had long been forgotten.

Turn around and look.

But Li Qian, Zhang Jiahao, Li Linghan and others had already jumped up and shouted excitedly.

"Brother Jin, awesome!"

The one who shouted the loudest was Zhang Jiahao, whose voice became hoarse from shouting.

The rest of the audience either stood up and left or applauded.

At this moment.

Dako walked over with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said, "Congratulations."

Although he didn't understand, he could guess that it was a congratulatory message. Chen Jin came to his senses and nodded: "Three grams of oil."
