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

Chapter 173: The God of an unfavorable situation, whoever falls behind first will win?

Chapter 173: The God of an unfavorable situation, whoever falls behind first will win?
With Xie Mingyang's backhand twist to the diagonal corner, it penetrated Lin Gaoyuan's forehand.

The fifth game is over.

11: 7.

Come back from 2-0 down to 3-0, and it happens again.

"Cuo Le!"

Xie Mingyang, who was usually calm, couldn't hold himself back at this moment. He jumped up, clenched his fist and roared.

He glanced at me coldly, his eyes as sharp as lightning.

At this moment, Lin Gaoyuan's fans were silent.

"Wow—"

The applause and cheers resounded throughout the stadium like a tide and lasted for a long time.

Before the game, who could have imagined that Lin Gaoyuan, the fifth main player of the national table tennis team and ranked ninth in the world, would be defeated by an unknown newcomer from the second team.

Moreover, the score was 0:2.

"Another comeback from 2-0 down to 3-0 down. This new player really has a big heart. He was able to turn this around."

"Lin Gaoyuan, ah Lin Gaoyuan...sigh."

"Xie Mingyang played really well in the last three games, a bit like Zhang Jike back then."

"If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that at the end of the second game, someone shouted 'Lin Gaoyuan, 3-0', which seemed to have given Xie Mingyang some kind of buff."

"When someone shouted 'Lin Gaoyuan 3-0', perhaps this outcome was already destined."

……

And at this time.

The fans who supported Lin Gaoyuan at the scene, while feeling depressed, turned their heads and stared at the boy who had just shouted "Lin Gaoyuan 3-0".

Those glances filled with resentment were like flying knives that could kill people with one blow.

I wish I could eat its flesh, drink its blood and gnaw its bones.

The boy was so frightened that his face was filled with terror, and he huddled on the seat weakly and helplessly.

"I, I just wanted to make a joke."

The boy said weakly, "Who knew that Lin Gaoyuan would really be overthrown by a newcomer."

Stop talking about him.

Even Wang Hao didn't expect that Xie Mingyang would actually come back from 2-0 down to 3-0 again.

"Good job, Xie Mingyang, you actually beat Lin Gaoyuan!"

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth.

There was a hint of admiration in her eyes as she looked at Xie Mingyang from afar.

At the end of the second game, after hearing Chen Jin's prediction, he still didn't quite believe it.

Facts have proved that Chen Jincai is the person who knows Xie Mingyang best.

Xie Mingyang lived up to Chen Jin's trust and came back from 2-0 down to 3-0 down.

Putting aside the first two games, Xie Mingyang's condition in the last three games was invincible.

In terms of momentum, he had completely suppressed Lin Gaoyuan.

Of course, the reason why Xie Mingyang was able to come back from 2-0 down to 3-0 was not only because of his own strength, but also because of another key point that cannot be ignored.

That is Lin Gaoyuan's mentality problem in the crucial game.

If the opponent in this game was Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, or even Wang Chuqin, it would be unlikely that Xie Mingyang would be able to turn the tables.

"This style of play is still too dangerous."

Wang Hao thought to himself, "Just like Liang Jingkun."

When Wang Hao thought of Liang Jingkun, his heart trembled inexplicably.

I have lingering fears.

"It is undeniable that Xie Mingyang is indeed a good candidate."

"However, in his future matches, whoever wants to do it off the court can do it, just don't ask me."

Wang Hao was full of resistance.

In three games, he came back from 2-0 down to 3-0 three times.

This kind of playing style is the most exhausting for off-field coaches.

Liang Jingkun alone has made "Wang Hao's black face" top the hot search list many times.

Now there is another Xie Mingyang...

It’s scary to think about it.

Sudden.

Wang Hao suddenly had an idea: "Why not transfer Li Qian to the first team and let him be Xie Mingyang's head coach and off-field instructor in the future."

In this Grand Slam, there are five other newcomers who have made it all the way through the qualifying rounds, in addition to Xie Mingyang.

But, without exception, these five people all fell before the round of 16.

Only Xie Mingyang made it to the quarterfinals.

With such a record, it would be difficult even if we don't want to join the first team.

What's more, before this, Li Qian had applied to be transferred to the first team coaching staff several times.

However, I don’t have enough qualifications, so I have been suppressed.

Now, Li Qian not only led the team to win the men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles championships in Lima.

At the Macau Championship, as the temporary coach of Chen Jin, Xie Mingyang and Zhang Jiahao, he also contributed to Chen Jin's victory.

This time, Xie Mingyang and Chen Jin both made it into the quarterfinals.

As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. As a temporary coach, he also feels honored.

There is nothing wrong with being transferred to the first team coach.

Think of this.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Wang Hao turned his head to look at Li Qian who was not far away next door.

After watching Xie Mingyang's match, Li Qian was also secretly glad: "Fortunately it was a civil war, so there was no need to fight off the court."

"Sitting here and watching the game has already made my heart beat faster and I'm sweating. If I really did what Xie Mingyang did, I'd be so nervous that I'd die."

What made Li Qian feel even more fortunate was.

Xie Mingyang's opponent in the quarterfinals is Liang Jingkun.

"It's the Civil War again."

"hey-hey……"

Li Qian smiled in his heart, "My little heart can finally relax."

Originally, his highest expectation for Xie Mingyang was to make it to the top 16.

I never thought that Xie Mingyang would be so competitive and make it into the quarterfinals.

After all, he is only the temporary coach of Xie Mingyang and Chen Jin!
“A temporary coach is also a coach.”

Li Qian smiled with satisfaction, "I think I can get a job as a first-team coach now, right?"

The mind has not changed.

Suddenly I felt a gaze directed towards me.

Li Qian was stunned for a moment.

When he turned his head, his eyes met Wang Hao's.

"what?"

"Coach Wang's eyes seem to show recognition and appreciation for me?"

Li Qian was overjoyed, "Could it be that I finally have a chance to be transferred to the first team?"

My spirits were greatly boosted.

……

Outside the stadium, interview area.

Reporters crowded around.

"First of all, congratulations on defeating Lin Gaoyuan and advancing to the quarterfinals. Lin Gaoyuan is also a key player of our national table tennis team and is ranked ninth in the world. Before the game, did you have any special tactical preparations?"

"No."

Xie Mingyang shook his head, "Prepare normally and compete normally."

"..."

Why does this rhetoric sound so familiar?

Copy-pasted template?

"As a newcomer, how do you feel about being able to beat Lin Gaoyuan?"

Xie Mingyang glanced at him, expressionless: "Happy, excited."

"..."

If you feel happy, clap your hands...oh no, just smile!
If you say you are happy with this expression, no one will believe you!
"Among the newcomers in this Grand Slam, your performance was the most surprising. Some netizens said that you and Chen Jin are the 'twin stars of the national table tennis team'. What do you think of this?"

This question seems to touch upon some key words.

A slightly warm smile finally appeared on Xie Mingyang's cold face.

"Chen Jin is better than me. I am not qualified to be compared with him right now."

Xie Mingyang said solemnly, "But I will try my best to catch up."

His words came from the bottom of his heart.

But to others, it sounds a bit humble.

The interview is over.

Xie Mingyang went to the lounge alone.

Chen Jin and Li Qian had been waiting for a long time.

“In the last three games, we played well.”

After clapping his hands with Xie Mingyang, Chen Jin said with a smile, "As for the first two rounds, you know."

"If you keep fighting like this, it's not a solution."

There was a hint of worry in his words.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Xie Mingyang won the match tonight, his victory was quite dangerous.

It’s not that Lin Gaoyuan is not as skilled as others, but that he lost in terms of mentality.

If Lin Gaoyuan had a big heart like Liang Jingkun, even if Xie Mingyang was bleeding and won the third game, he would definitely lose the fourth game.

However, Xie Mingyang's fierce playing style in the third game made Lin Gaoyuan a little panicked.

At a time when the team is being built, as the fifth main player of the national table tennis team, facing the impact of a newcomer, if he is not careful, there is a risk of being stepped on by the newcomer.

Therefore, Lin Gaoyuan felt the pressure in this game.

It's okay when the game is going your way, but once you're in a disadvantageous position, the pressure suddenly soars.

"Steady and steady" became Lin Gaoyuan's general tactical principle. In the fifth game, it was match point.

Lin Gaoyuan was even more lenient.

At critical moments, one must seek stability and not risk going all out to avoid mistakes.

Even though Xie Mingyang gave him a chance to shoot, he was still afraid and hesitated, not daring to take the shot.

On the other hand, Xie Mingyang.

Just like a desperado, the more crucial the ball is, the fiercer he fights.

The contrast with Lin Gaoyuan is particularly striking.

Xie Mingyang won this battle with his mentality rather than his technique.

however.

When facing top players, both mentality and technique are indispensable.

not to mention.

Xie Mingyang's opponent in the next round is Liang Jingkun.

This person is famous for his big heart. Like Xie Mingyang, he often makes comebacks in games, as if he wouldn't play unless he fell behind.

When it comes to competing with Liang Jingkun in terms of mentality, Xie Mingyang may be a little too young.

If you want to defeat Liang Jingkun, you either have to rely on hard power or brains.

After all, Liang Jingkun is known for having "all Grand Slam equipment below the neck."

"Do you think I want to?"

Xie Mingyang rolled his eyes. "If I could have your strength, I would want to sweep the world."

"I'm actually very curious. You and Liang Jingkun are both masters at playing against the wind."

Li Qian smiled and said, "In your competition tomorrow, whoever falls behind first will win?"

"How can this be?"

Xie Mingyang said coldly, "Not that amazing."

Neither he nor Liang Jingkun probably likes titles like "the God of Adversity".

If you can really sweep your opponents cleanly and neatly, who would be willing to suffer so much and play against the wind?

As for the match between the two tomorrow, what will the situation be.

After all, it all comes down to who has stronger strength.

"Instead of worrying about me, you should think about your own game tomorrow."

Xie Mingyang looked at Chen Jin, "Even if I lose tomorrow, it will only be a civil war. It won't be a big deal for me."

"But what about you?"

"Your opponent is Moregard. If you lose, you will be scolded bitterly."

Chen Jin today is no longer the same as before.

Every move in the arena is under close scrutiny and is stared at closely.

If he loses to the outside team, even if he is just a newcomer, even if his opponent is Moregard, he will also be under great pressure from public opinion.

"Isn't this simple?"

Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders and smiled nonchalantly, "Then just keep winning."

As we all know, Moregard became famous because he eliminated Wang Chuqin in the round of 32 of the Paris Olympics.

Afterwards, he made great progress, entered the finals and won the men's singles vice-championship.

People call him "Mo Shen".

However, there are only a few true gods in table tennis.

The god of blocking serves.

The god of straight-blade horizontal hitting.

The god of backhand twist and pull.

The god of the double lap grand slam.

The god of violence.

Compared with these gods, Moregard's divinity is far inferior.

"Moregaard's starting point is on his backhand on the left half of the table, while the right half of the table is his weakness."

Since the Paris Olympics, Wang Hao has not been idle. Together with the coaching staff, he has devoted himself to studying the playing styles of various top players from outside.

Among them, of course, is Moregard.

In order to avoid encountering the same upset situation again.

"Moregaard's backhand can't be said to be very strong, but it is very creative."

Wang Hao recounted the story in detail, "Twisting, pulling, flicking, tearing, cutting, sideways, changing lines...all kinds of backhand techniques, all used quite skillfully."

“But his forehand position has always been his weak point.”

"Let's focus on his forehand and break through at a fixed point."

……

10 month 4 day.

BJ Grand Slam, the sixth main competition day.

The huge training hall seemed a little empty.

Compared to before, it is much quieter.

After all, most of the contestants have been eliminated.

The only ones left are the players in the quarterfinals.

Except for Lind, Moregaard and Hugo, the other five are all from the Chinese national table tennis team.

The quarterfinals are also the semifinals for the upper and lower half of the group.

Competition rules: best of seven.

Fault tolerance is greatly improved.

The show starts on time at 11:35 am.

Lin Shidong versus Anders Linder.

12: 10.

11: 8.

11: 7.

Lin Shidong is worthy of being the strongest of the new generation of national table tennis players with strong strength.

Especially the backhand, which is very threatening.

After a hard fight, we finally won with a score of 4:0 and advanced to the semi-finals first.

Followed by.

It's Ma Taki VS Hugo.

Facing the Brazilian table tennis star who is ranked third in the world, Ma Taki played quite calmly.

11: 7.

11: 4.

11: 7.

He won four straight sets, swept Hugo, and easily advanced to the lower half finals.

"Is this the dominance of the Dragon Team? It's so terrifying."

"Hugo is ranked third in the world, even above the Dragon Team, but he was still beaten to the ground by the Dragon Team."

"Oh my god, who can believe it? Captain Long is already 36 years old and still in his prime."

"Team Dragon, I won't watch Los Angeles without you!"

"According to the current state of the Dragon Team, it won't be a problem for them to make it to the finals, let alone win the championship."

"That's amazing. I support the Dragons to keep playing and shine in Los Angeles."

"jLZ, 191, please be a good person and let the Dragon Team continue to shine on the field."

……

Six pm.

In the third game, Xie Mingyang faced Liang Jingkun.

first round.

As soon as Xie Mingyang came on the court, he was in hot form and beat Liang Jingkun 11:1.

Shocked the whole audience.

Everyone was amazed at Xie Mingyang's condition and strength.

Only Li Qian frowned, with a bad feeling: "Xie Mingyang obviously won the first game, but why do I always feel uneasy?"

The following three games proved Li Qian's idea.

After a crushing defeat in the first game, Liang Jingkun, who learned from his mistakes and became more courageous, opened fire and bombarded the entire table.

This made Xie Mingyang truly realize what it means to have "all Grand Slam configuration below the neck."

12: 14.

8: 11.

5: 11.

Xie Mingyang lost three games in a row.

In the fifth game, Xie Mingyang fought a desperate battle, like a lone wolf with nowhere to go, he fought hard and finally won back a game.

The overall score is 2:3.

Seeing that Xie Mingyang seemed to be able to make a comeback, Liang Jingkun became more and more courageous.

Finally, in the sixth game, 3:11.

Xie Mingyang was defeated.

Eliminated and missed the semi-finals.

"I said whoever is behind in the first round will win."
