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

Chapter 211 Chen Jin VS Duda, fierce backhand straight line!
"Time!"

Following the referee's reminder.

Chen Jin and Duda then ended their pre-match sparring.

They walked to the side, picked up their towels, wiped the sweat off their face, and made final adjustments before the start of the game.

at this time.

The lights at the scene dimmed.

All focused on the stadium.

Wang Hao sat upright, his hands folded across his chest, his expression serious, staring at Chen Jin's back.

Although he has given countless off-field instructions, he is still nervous every time he plays a game.

"Come on, Chen Jin."

Wang Hao's eyes darkened slightly.

But Duda was seen running around the sidelines, warming up and relieving the tension in his heart.

Finally, back to the table.

Holding the ping-pong ball in hand, he glanced at Chen Jin opposite him.

Chen Jin looked calm and composed, his eyes were as deep and resentful as the stars.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old newcomer to the arena was surprisingly calmer than Duda, a veteran who had been on the court for more than a decade.

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

Duda threw the ping-pong ball onto the table and let it bounce for a few times. Then he moved his arms and grabbed the ball.

Bend over and extend your right arm.

Gently spread your palm and place the small ping-pong ball in the palm.

Toss the ball.

Lead the beat.

Wait for the ping-pong ball to fall in front of you.

Turn your waist suddenly.

Use your fingers and wrists to control the racket and accelerate the friction on the lower and middle part of the ping-pong ball.

"laugh!"

The ping-pong ball, with a strong side spin, almost stuck to the net, flew lightly past and landed near the center line of the opponent's half of the table.

Since Duda holds the racket with his left hand, his forehand serve with side spin is equivalent to the reverse spin of a right-handed serve.

If you are not careful, you will misjudge the rotation.

However, when Chen Jin was in the provincial team, he practiced with Zhang Jiahao all day long and was already used to it.

My left hand is not dizzy at all.

Chen Jin took a light step forward, followed the rotation, and quickly chopped Duda to the right half of the baseline.

Although he is a veteran, Duda's reaction is very quick.

Leap back half a step at an extremely fast speed.

Backhand blast.

"Snapped!"

Try to counteract the rotation with force.

Good idea though.

It’s a pity that Chen Jin’s chop was long and his power was very strong.

Not only is it fast and lands at a high point, but the rotation is also particularly strong.

Although Duda's backhand power was great, he was ultimately unable to offset Chen Jin's long backspin.

"Break!"

The ping-pong ball hit the net and bounced out of bounds.

0: 1.

Chen Jin got the first blood.

"Cuo Le!"

"Zhu--"

Seeing that Chen Jin took the lead and won the first battle.

Wang Hao in the rest area was even more excited than Chen Jin. He clenched his fists, jumped up, and shouted loudly.

The emotional value is maximized.

On the other hand, Chen Jin.

His face was expressionless, as calm as an ancient well that had existed for thousands of years.

He walked to the left side of the table out of habit, touched the table, and wiped the sweat off his hands.

In the first match, the first few balls were mostly for testing.

Therefore, it is normal to lose points.

Duda's mentality is as steady as an old dog, and he is not panicked at all.

Serve again.

Having learned from the lesson of the previous serve, although it was still a side spin, the landing point became Chen Jin's backhand.

Moreover, Duda's control of this serve was particularly exquisite.

It is a semi-stage with a very deep landing point.

The arc is flat.

Whether it is a long or short shot, or a high loop, it is not easy to handle. Once you are not careful, you will create opportunities for your opponent.

but.

Chen Jin took action without any hesitation.

At the moment Duda served.

Predict the landing point in advance, step forward with your right leg, and quickly insert it under the table.

The center of gravity of the body is on the left leg.

The waist and abdomen are tight.

Lower your shoulders and raise your elbows.

The wrists are bent inward.

Facing the rising phase of the incoming ball.

The muscles in his left leg were like a block of iron, and he kicked hard.

The force starts from the ground, through the legs and hips, from the hips to the waist, and is instantly transmitted to the forearms and wrists in one go.

"Snapped!"

Chen Jintai exploded and twisted in a straight line.

The power was so great, the speed was so fast, and the sidespin was so strong that there was even a slight sound that went through the board.

Like a loud thunder.

Duda was so shocked that he was filled with disbelief: "Can you screw through the board by twisting it inside the table?"

Knowing the power of Chen Jin's ball, Duda hurriedly retreated from the table and threw the ball back with his backhand, trying to bounce it back.

however.

After all, he underestimated the power and rotation of this ball.

The ping-pong ball hit Duda's racket hard, and the powerful impact caused the rubber to deform extremely dramatically in an instant.

Duda couldn't leverage at all.

"laugh!"

The return ball went into the net.

2: 0.

"Whoo~"

Duda let out a breath of foul air.

I changed to holding the racket with my right hand.

At the same time, he gently shook the fingers and wrist of his left hand.

The power of the ball just now was so great that Duda's palm was numb.

"It's amazing that such quality can be achieved by twisting and pulling on the table. This Chinese boy is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Duda looked at Chen Jin with some shock.

At this moment, he finally understood why so many European masters were defeated by Chen Jin.

It’s really strong!
What's even scarier is.

The young man in front of me is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Younger than Felix.

Even if we calculate from the age of thirty, he still has fourteen or fifteen years of career ahead of him.

Enough to support three or even four Olympic cycles.

This means that in the next ten years, the entire world table tennis world will be shrouded in the shadow of this young man!

At the Paris Olympics, European table tennis finally saw some hope of resurgence.

Unexpectedly, it was destroyed by a young man from the Chinese team.

"no!"

Duda secretly gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "I must go all out to defeat Chen Jin and defend my glory in European table tennis!"

"God, please give me the infinite power to love and be loved, so that I can defeat this fledgling devil!"

The mind has not changed.

When I looked up, I saw Chen Jin was already ready to serve.

"Don't think it's just your backhand that's great."

Duda leaned down and said, "My backhand is not weak either."

All of a sudden.

He then thought of a strategy for receiving the serve.

After looking at Duda, Chen Jin started serving.

Still a hook shot.

Whether it is the height or the angle of the toss, this serve can be summed up in two words.

--clean!

Duda was enlightened: "We are both Chinese players, and we both use hook serves, so why is Chen Jin so clean?"

I have to say, it’s because of people.

"Sideways."

A snap of the fingers is but a moment.

Duda quickly judged the rotation, stepped forward, grabbed the landing point, and twisted and pulled the ball diagonally.

Go straight to Chen Jin's left half of the stage.

This ball was not as powerful, fast and spiny as Chen Jin's.

But, the victory lies in the landing point.

Withstood Chen Jin's batting position.

Chen Jin stood close to the table, pressed his center of gravity forward, and used the opponent's force to attack, sticking to the straight line as if doing nothing.

Fortunately, Duda was prepared.

Restore the connection at an extremely fast speed.

"Snapped!"

Backhand blast tore the diagonal line.

The ping-pong ball flew towards the right corner of Chen Jin's baseline like a ferocious and hungry wolf.

I thought this ball was a sure win.

however.

Chen Jin took a cross step, and it was as if he was stepping on a hot wheel. He instantly crossed the table and flashed to the forehand position. "Snap!"

Violent counter-pull.

"what?!"

Duda's eyes widened.

He never thought that a ball with such a large angle and such a fast speed could be pulled back by Chen Jin.

Moreover, the arc that Chen Jin pulled back flew in the air, drawing an exaggerated C-shaped arc.

“The sidespin is strong.”

Duda realized this immediately.

Hastily turned sideways.

Want to grab it with your forehand.

However, the side spin of the ball was a little stronger than he had imagined.

The moment it touched the table, it gave a hard turn.

As a result, Duda's forehand counter-attack failed to hit the target.

"Break!"

The ball hit the edge of the board and flew out of bounds.

3: 0.

Duda shook his head slightly, frowning: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have turned sideways and just backhanded him. Maybe I would have gotten the ball."

It’s a pity that this is a table tennis match.

It’s not like playing League of Legends, you can’t go back in time.

Of course, what shocked him even more was that he had just made a backhand explosion at the diagonal line.

Power and speed, all explosive.

If it were any other player, he would have probably won.

But Chen Jin was able to pounce and pull it back, and the quality was so high that it was hard to predict.

This pace, this reaction, this speed...Duda was almost crying with envy.

"It's good to be young."

Duda thought, "No, even when I was young, I couldn't save this ball."

"In the final analysis, Chen Jin is just too strong."

Think of this.

Duda patted his head lightly: "Hey, brother, what are you doing?"

"Chen Jin is your opponent now, and the two of you are competing."

"How can you encourage your opponent and destroy your own prestige?"

"Duda, you have to believe that God is always on your side."

Take a deep breath.

Duda finally calmed down.

In the first game, 3-0 was not unacceptable.

There are plenty of opportunities to turn the game around.

In the European Championships, when playing against Felix, weren't we also trailing by a big score of 1:3?
Didn't he still overturn the situation himself in the end?

The key is to believe in yourself.

“How can God trust a believer who also trusts himself?”

Duda is full of fighting spirit.

“Hohoho——”

He jumped on the spot for a while, shouted a few times, and cheered himself up.

Then, he bent down.

His eyes were fixed on Chen Jin's serve.

The ball was thrown upwards almost vertically without any obstruction.

Side down.

The forehand is short.

This time, Duda did not take any more risks.

Choose short control instead.

But Chen Jin didn't seem to want to fight with him on the stage, so he just chopped him down directly.

Gave Duda a long forehand ball.

"Well done!"

Duda shouted loudly, stood on his right leg, lowered his waist and led the racket, rushing forward diagonally.

"Snapped!"

Bombard Chen Jin's backhand fiercely.

When he was about to chop, Chen Jin had already predicted the landing point of Duda's attack in his mind.

Therefore, preparations were made for the transition.

Take a step back and wait for the rabbit to come.

When Duda rushed forward, Chen Jin and the racket in his hand seemed to merge into one, and suddenly turned into an indestructible wall of steel.

No matter how powerful Duda is, he can't shake him even a little bit.

Instead, Chen Jin took advantage of the situation to fight back.

"Snapped!"

The sound is like firecrackers.

The ping-pong ball, with great force, rushed towards Duda's left half of the table like lightning.

Duda was not willing to be outdone. He slid back to the middle of the table and hit a strong forehand diagonal shot.

Also use the opponent's force to counter the opponent.

In the forehand and backhand confrontation between the two, in just two rounds, the power became stronger and stronger, and the arc became higher and higher.

I originally thought that Chen Jin would retreat to the stage to relieve his pressure.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin still defended the middle and near table.

Facing the incoming ball, he shot it backhand.

"Snapped!"

--straight line!
"Scheisse!"

Duda couldn't help but swear.

The quality of my forehand counter-attack was beyond my imagination.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin was able to backhand and tear himself in a straight line!
Duda would never have thought of this.

At this moment, he was on the left half of the table, trying desperately to protect his forehand position.

The backhand position on the right half of the table has already become empty.

Wanting to return to defense is nothing but a pipe dream.

Duda could only watch Chen Jin tear apart his right half of the table.

But there is nothing that can be done.

0: 4.

I saw the runner-up of the European Championship singles was beaten by a young Chinese player and had no chance to fight back.

The audience was silent.

It was so quiet that it felt like walking into a library.

All that could be heard was Wang Hao's angry roar, echoing over the stadium.

"Cuo Le!"

"Zhu--"

in the audience.

Felix, Alex, Francesca and other European stars sat side by side, watching the game with gloomy faces, without a trace of blood.

"Compared to the Lima Regular Challenge Tournament two months ago, Chen Jin has really improved."

Francesca frowned, "The backhand-to-straight-line technique is even more aggressive."

"elder brother."

Felix smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think you can beat Chen Jin?"

Although Felix's world ranking is higher than Alex.

But, to date, Felix has never won a game against Alex.

It seemed as if Alex had a bloodline suppression on his younger brother.

In addition to blood suppression.

Alex's playing style is also violent and fast.

If Felix hadn't practiced regularly with his brother, how could his backhand have reached the level it is today?
"do not know."

Alex shook his head. "Anyway, I definitely can't do such a fierce backhand straight line."

He had just played against Duda in the European Championship final.

Although he won in the end, it must be said that Duda's strength is not simple.

As a veteran, he gives people a feeling of accumulation of strength.

however.

In this match, Duda was suppressed by Chen Jin and did not perform at his best level.

"It seems that Duda alone cannot stop Chen Jin."

Felix sighed.

"maybe."

Alex said, "It's just the beginning. As long as Duda can find his rhythm, there might be a chance to turn the situation around."

Compared with young players, veterans have the advantage in mentality and experience.

What's more, Duda staged a brilliant comeback not long ago.

As soon as I heard the word "reversal".

Felix's face changed slightly, as if he recalled some bad memories, and he couldn't help but put on a mask of pain.

There was a pause.

Then he continued: "But the question is, will Chen Jin help Duda regain his rhythm in the game?"

the answer is negative.

Because, during the conversation between several people.

Chen Jin expanded the score to 7:0 with an overwhelming force.

Duda was sweating profusely and didn't score a single point.

"Duda's proud backhand can't even beat Chen Jin?"

Alex gasped, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

just now.

Chen Jin and Duda attacked each other with backhands.

It was like a violent storm, with people coming and going, making it hard to breathe.

In the end, it was Chen Jin who changed line first and ended the battle.

After several encounters with Duda, Alex knew how terrifying Duda's backhand was.

I never thought that this young Chinese player's backhand was even stronger than Duda's.

The most terrifying thing is.

The boy is still a straight-blade player!

How would this make his younger brother, who was sitting next to him, feel?
