Chapter 185 The traditional skills of the Chinese national table tennis team - orange divination!

seven thirty.

With the end of the women's singles final, Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Manyu with a big score of 4:2 and won the Grand Slam championship.

The men's singles final is about to begin.

Douyin.

Xuperman live broadcast room.

Xu Xin rubbed his palms together, his face full of anticipation: "The showdown between the old and the new is finally coming."

"Friends, who do you think will win the men's singles final tonight?"

"I think Ma Taki can win Koubo 1, and I think Chen Jin can win Koubo 2."

Speaking of which.

Xu Xin paused deliberately.

Wait for a moment.

But the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room suddenly surged out like a tide.

There is an endless stream of people, densely packed.

"Oh my god, are there so many people who are stingy?"

Xu Xin adjusted his glasses and said, "I understand. After all, they are our Dragon Team."

Although Chen Jin's popularity has soared recently, there is still a huge difference compared to Ma Taki.

Double Grand Slam, table tennis GOAT... How can a new player of the national table tennis team be able to challenge such a gold content?
"Brother Xin."

Cheng Jingqi, who was sitting next to Xu Xin, asked with a smile, "Who do you think will win tonight?"

"Want to set me up?"

Xu Xin smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I won't be fooled."

One is a veteran in table tennis, and the other is a newcomer to the national table tennis team. No matter how you comment on it, it is a great rhythm.

What's more, the strength of these two people is unique and cannot be predicted in advance by outsiders.

"Then I'll throw out some ideas and share my thoughts."

Cheng Jingqi said.

"That's great."

Xu Xin sat upright, "I'm all ears."

Anyway, the game hasn't started yet.

Sitting here is just a waste of time, so why not chat and come up with some topics?

"I watched Chen Jin's matches from beginning to end in this Grand Slam, without missing a single game. I have a good understanding of Chen Jin's playing ability."

Cheng Jingqi pondered and said, "To be fair, I think as long as Chen Jin performs normally, we may not lose to Team Long in this game."

These words were not spoken out of impulsiveness or sympathy for the weak.

But it comes from the heart.

Xu Xin nodded: "So, you are more optimistic about Chen Jin?"

"Correct."

Cheng Jingqi didn't even hide it, "Chen Jin has three wins against the Dragon Team."

"Which three wins?"

Xu Xin seems to be a supporting role.

"The first victory is based on age and physical strength, the second victory is based on the quality of the backhand board, and the third victory is based on the challenger's mentality."

Cheng Jingqi said, "I'm not afraid of being attacked. I sincerely feel that I vaguely see the shadow of Xiaopang in Chen Jin."

"At the age of fifteen or sixteen, they burst onto the scene, made a stunning debut, and shocked the table tennis world...their experiences are so similar."

"If Chen Jin can beat the Dragon Team tonight, the future leader of the national table tennis team will be none other than Chen Jin."

in those days.

German Open.

At the age of sixteen, Fan Zhendong defeated Ochiolov, who was at the peak of his career in Europe at that time, and became famous in one battle.

But, even so.

Compared with the current Chen Jin, he still seems to be a little inferior.

"That makes sense."

Xu Xin said seriously, "Since it is a prediction in advance, we might as well leave it to metaphysics."

"Brother Xin, are you going to set up the formation again?"

Cheng Jingqi said.

"Do not."

Xu Xin smiled and said, "We will learn the traditional skills of the national table tennis team this time."

"This is a trick that Wang Hao used back then. I tell you, it's always accurate."

Hear the words.

Cheng Jingqi's eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "What traditional skills? Why haven't I heard of them?"

"hey-hey."

Xu Xin smiled and immediately took out an orange from his pocket.

"I go."

Cheng Jingqi's eyes widened, "Brother Xin, you came prepared."

"necessary."

Xu Xin peeled the orange carefully.

soon.

It's already peeled.

"Ahem, the orange divination technique begins now."

As he spoke, Xu Xin stuffed a slice of orange into his mouth, "Ma Longying..."

Then he handed another orange slice to Cheng Jingqi: "Chen Jinying..."

"Ma Taki wins..."

"Chen Jinying..."

……

"Ma Taki wins..."

"Chen Jinying..."

……

This was repeated several times.

In the end, there were two orange slices left.

"Ma Taki wins..."

Xu Xin ate one of the petals and handed the other to Cheng Jingqi, "Chen Jin wins... Oh my, maybe Chen Jin can really win this game tonight."

"Friends, this orange divination technique is a traditional skill that Wang Hao left to the national table tennis team."

"Back then, Wang Hao used this trick to accurately predict the match between Ma Long and Ma Lin."

"Now let's see if this traditional skill is accurate."

"what?"

"The game is about to begin."

"The camera is focused on the entrance to the catwalk. The contestants from both teams are about to appear on stage."

Xu Xin stared at the screen intently, "The first to appear is Chen Jin."

"The young man walks with the wind... the wind of a jade tree in the wind."

"The next person to appear is..."

The words have not yet fallen.

The moment when Ma Taki appeared on the field.

Sudden.

Xu Xin was stunned: "What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

Cheng Jingqi was startled.

"Didn't you notice that there's something different about Ma Taki tonight?"

Xu Xin’s eyes widened.

"different?"

Cheng Jingqi took a closer look and suddenly became excited, "Hairspray! It's hairspray!"

"Did Team Long use hair gel?" There has always been a legend circulating in the table tennis world.

There are three people in table tennis who are not easy to mess with.

Ma Taki with hairspray, the Tibetan Mastiff who just woke up, and Xu Xin outside the camera.

In the world of table tennis, there is a kind of invincibility, and that is "Ma Taki with hairspray".

At that time, the Rio Olympics.

Hairspray Dragon was full of vigor and vitality, and together with Zhang Jike and Xu Xin, the three musketeers jointly created the most passionate and glorious era in the history of Chinese table tennis.

What’s more, few people know that the Three Musketeers of Rio represent the youth of many people, as well as their memories and yearnings for the peak period of Chinese table tennis.

Regrettably.

After many years, everything has changed.

And Hairspray Dragon has since remained in the memories of countless fans.

Unexpectedly, tonight, the Ma Taki who competed in Rio with hairspray on his face appeared on the field again.

Like the peak again!
Online and offline, countless fans also discovered that Ma Taki used hairspray.

Memories instantly return to those years.

All of a sudden.

The scene cheered.

"Ma Taki!"

"Ma Taki!"

"Ma Taki!"

……

at the same time.

The entry "Ma Taki applies hair gel" appeared on the hot search list and instantly topped the list.

The discussion is hot and remains high.

"Oh my god, am I seeing things? Ma Taki actually used hair gel???"

"There is an invincible thing called the Hairspray Dragon...Team Dragon, come on!"

"Oh my god, the hairspray dragon is back! My eyes are going to twitch."

“Ahhhhhhhh, my Hairspray Dragon, my Three Musketeers of Rio, my lost youth!”

"Ma Taki with hair gel is invincible and unbeatable!"

……

Xuperman live broadcast room.

Seeing Ma Taki with hairspray on, Xu Xin was also filled with emotion.

As one of the three musketeers of Rio, the Rio Olympics is also the most beautiful and important memory of his life.

In an instant.

All the memories of the past came to my mind.

Xu Xinqing couldn't help himself, he took off his glasses, turned his head and rubbed his eyes.

"Brother Xin, are you crying?"

Cheng Jingqi patted Xu Xin's back gently.

"No."

Xu Xin sniffed and said, "It's just... it was too windy tonight and there was sand in my eyes."

Another pause.

Then he turned around, his eyes still a little red.

"During the Rio Olympics, Ma Taki liked to use hair gel the most. He was in his best form at that time and was killing like crazy."

Xu Xin took a deep breath.

The look in his eyes is full of memories.

Now, eight years have passed since the Rio Olympics.

Two more Olympic Games passed.

But if you want to talk about impressiveness, nothing is more impressive than Rio.

At that time, Liu Guoliang was still a fat guy who knew nothing about football.

At that time, Ma Longtou was looking very proud with her hair gel applied.

At that time, Zhang Jike was guarding half of the area with low health.

At that time, Xu Xin's doubles cooperation was invincible.

……

"You watched the later matches, did Ma Taki use hair gel?"

Xu Xin rested his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and held his chin. "If I remember correctly, this should be the first time that Ma Long has used hair gel on the court since the Rio Olympics."

"I don't really remember."

Cheng Jingqi said, "However, what is certain is that this is the first time that Team Long has used hair gel in this Grand Slam."

The issue is.

Why did Ma Taki suddenly have the urge to put hairspray on his hair again for no reason?
"I think... this is just my personal opinion, Ma Taki deliberately put on hair gel in this competition, which may have two meanings."

Xu Xin thought for a moment and said, "First, I want to tell everyone that this time when he fights Chen Jin, he will not show mercy, and he will not deliberately let the ball go."

Before this, Ma Taki had lost several civil wars, and the outside world had a saying that "Ma Taki gave away the ball."

And this time, it was also a civil war.

It's another showdown between the new and the old.

If Ma Taki won, countless sarcastic words would surely be directed at Chen Jin.

But if Ma Long loses, the question of "giving away the ball" will definitely linger around Chen Jin.

Therefore, Ma Long's action of applying hair gel is to tell the outside world that he will go all out in this final and will never give up the ball.

"two is……"

Xu Xin continued, "I'm just guessing, don't criticize me... Ma Long might want to say goodbye to the arena in this way."

Hairspray Dragon is undoubtedly Ma Taki’s peak performance.

Now, Ma Taki puts on hairspray, perhaps wanting to show his most spirited side for the competition.

Of course, all of this is just Xu Xin’s speculation.

As for what Ma Long really thinks, only he himself knows it best.

At this time, Ma Taki had already arrived on the field amid countless cheers from the audience.

In his own rest area, he made all preparations before the game seriously and carefully.

I took off my jacket and grabbed my towel and water bottle from my backpack.

Tuck your jersey into your pants and re-tie your belt.

Just like always, nothing different.

the other side.

Chen Jin looked calm and organized his things in an orderly manner.

Looking at him, he doesn't seem nervous at all.

If it were any other newcomer, he would have been terrified and nervous facing this double-circle grand slam winner.

But Chen Jin seemed to be calm inside.

everything's ready.

Turn around.

Looking at each other across the field.

at this time.

Ma Long, holding the towel, turned around and confronted Chen Jinyao.

The two people's eyes met in the air.

"boom!"

Like Mars hitting the Earth.

No one can predict whether this game will see a new king ascend the throne or the old god defend his title.

Only when the ball drops will the outcome be known.

"Whoo~"

Chen Jin let out a sigh of relief.

Almost at the same time, he and Ma Taki took a step and walked towards each other.

The decisive battle is about to begin.
