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

Chapter 240: Never give up before the ball hits the ground! Chen Jin's ultimate save!
0: 3.

Felix glanced at the scoreboard on the referee's table intentionally or unintentionally. The lagging score was a bit eye-catching.

This reminded him once again of the disastrous defeat in the Macau Championship.

Moreover, after watching so many of Chen Jin's games, I know that as long as Chen Jin is ahead in the score, there is no chance for the opponent to turn the tables.

“He’s still too comprehensive.”

Felix reached out to wipe the sweat off his face, his breathing becoming a little faster. "How can I break this situation?"

Whether it was forehand or backhand, mid-range or long-range, speed, strength, rotation, or even continuity and connection, he was no match for Chen Jin and was completely crushed by him.

The only way to break the impasse is to fight!

In this way, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.

That's when.

The audience cheered in unison.

"Felix!"

"Felix!"

"Felix!"

……

The sounds of cheering and encouragement shook the stadium.

Felix felt his blood boiling and he became much more excited.

"Hey!"

There was a bit more momentum and courage in the depths of his pupils, and Felix jumped on the spot again and shouted.

Grab the ping-pong ball and throw it high.

歘!
A long and quick run.

Like a flash of white lightning, it rushed to Chen Jin's center baseline.

The long serve is a tactic often used by players in table tennis matches to open up the situation.

Felix's long ball is truly unique.

The speed is fast, the arc is low, and the landing point is tricky, which often catches people off guard.

Although Chen Jin managed to return the ball, the quality was not high.

"Chance!"

With murderous intent surging in his eyes, Felix mobilized all his strength and slammed the board down angrily.

"Snapped!"

There aren't any fancy techniques, just sheer force.

The ping-pong ball was like a cannonball, hitting Chen Jin's backhand hard.

At this time, Chen Jin had already jumped behind Xiang and quickly retreated to the middle and far distance.

Keep an eye on the landing point and arc of the incoming ball, and flick it upward with your backhand.

High ball!
Although the situation was passive, at least he landed steadily on the table.

Felix also slowed down the pace, gathering strength from his whole body and playing steadily.

He jumped up and smashed the ball with great force.

"Snapped!"

Continue to suppress Chen Jin's backhand position.

Chen Jin was not in a hurry. He took small steps and adjusted his position.

Lift the ball as high as possible.

Trade space for time.

But this also gave Felix time to adjust his pace.

"Snapped!"

Felix gathered his strength and pumped furiously.

The sound is like thunder, and the force is like the opening of the sky.

Moreover, the landing point of this ball was extremely tricky, hitting the small triangle of Chen Jin's backhand.

The angle is huge, as shown in the picture.

It's too late to say.

Chen Jin took an exaggerated cross step, flew out, swung his backhand, and cut in from the far table.

laugh!
The small ping-pong ball, with a strong spin, drew a strange arc in the air, instantly bypassed the net and flew onto the table.

The moment it touched the platform, it turned hard.

"!"

Felix was stunned, but reacted very quickly.

Knowing that Chen Jin's shot was a backhand side cut from a long distance with strong backspin, he did not dare to be careless at all.

So, he carefully and gently lifted the board.

I rubbed it halfway out.

Chen Jin, who was originally on the far stage, suddenly appeared near the stage like a ghost.

But it was too late to attack.

All you can do is wait until the ping-pong ball falls and the bottom of the table starts to spin.

however.

Felix was prepared.

"Snapped!"

A powerful burst.

I thought that this ball would decide the outcome while Chen Jin was still unable to stand firmly.

But unexpectedly.

Chen Jin's reaction was almost abnormal.

Leverage and bring quickly!

The ping-pong ball flew towards Felix's forehand corner at lightning speed.

Felix rushed forward with all his strength and was unable to stop in time, so how could he defend?

歘!
The ball flew out, landed on the ground, and continued to spin.

"4:0!"

The referee immediately raised his hand.

This goal can only be described with four words: "brilliant".

Originally, Chen Jin retreated to the table and hit a high ball, which put him in a desperate situation where he had to take a beating.

Every time Felix smashed the ball, he would draw exclamations from the audience.

However, Chen Jin is like an indestructible cockroach.

No matter how violently Felix smashed, he could not win the game.

Chen Jin even showed off his skills.

Chen Jinyuan cut backhand sideways from the table, and a graceful and elegant presidential ball around the net instantly ignited the scene.

"Wow—"

The whole audience exclaimed.

Even the English commentator of this game, Adam Bobrow, couldn't help but applaud: "Oh, my God!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Amazing!"

"He's Xu Xin?"

"No!"

"He's Chen Jin!"

……

Although there were many dangerous situations in this ball, Chen Jin still managed to score it steadily.

Stunning the audience.

Many audience members in the venue couldn't help but stand up and applaud enthusiastically.

Looking around, Felix's face darkened, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom: "Hey, who are you fans of?"

“Whose home ground is Montpellier?”

"You little brat, why are you holding my support sign and shouting the name 'Chen Jin'?"

Cheers, applause and whistles all rushed towards Chen Jin like a tide.

Felix suddenly felt abandoned.

"Cuo Le!"

"Zhu--"

The most excited person in the arena was not Chen Jin, but Wang Hao who was coaching outside the arena.

Seeing that Chen Jin was forced to retreat and hit high balls, he was already at a disadvantage, while Felix attacked fiercely, and every smash was full of ruthlessness.

Wang Hao originally thought that Chen Jin’s chances of winning were extremely low with this goal.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin's beautiful backhand side-cut presidential shot from far table around the net not only amazed the audience, but also turned the situation around.

The last quick move with the help of force is particularly challenging for reaction.

But Chen Jin did not let him down.

Wang Hao stood up from his seat, clenched his fists, veins bulged, and roared angrily.

His face is full of flesh and looks murderous.

"Boiled!"

After Wang Hao sat down, he clapped his hands.

He turned his eyes and looked towards the stands, just in time to catch a glimpse of Lin Shidong in the crowd.

"Look, take a good look!"

Wang Hao wanted to press Lin Shidong's head, "Look at how Chen Jin beat Felix!"

As his disciple, Lin Shidong had been a disciple longer than Chen Jin and had learned quite a lot from him.

The backhand technique is so advanced that it can definitely be called world-class.

Unexpectedly, in the semi-finals, Lin Shidong was beaten 4:0 by Felix.

In the last game, the score was even 3:11.

As a master of straight-blade horizontal hitting, Wang Hao felt humiliated and ashamed when his disciples, who he personally trained, were beaten by outsourced straight-blade players.

Fortunately, in addition to Lin Shidong, there is also Chen Jin, who is enough for him to regain his face.

"Hit me!"

"Hit me hard!"

Wang Hao's eyes were sharp. "I want the whole world to know that as long as I, Wang Hao, am still in the national team, the Chinese table tennis team will be the best in the world!"

Before meeting Chen Jin, the Chinese national table tennis team had been silent for many years.

Now, with the sudden appearance of Chen Jin, Wang Hao finally has the confidence to say this.

At this moment.

The audience also came back to their senses and asked: "Why could I not help but applaud my opponent?"

Pull back from the brink immediately and shout in unison.

"Felix!"

"Felix!"

"Felix!"

……

The entire stadium finally returned to normal and became Felix's home court. "The folks still love me!"

Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, Felix finally cheered up from the frustration of defeat.

"I can do it!"

Felix encouraged himself mentally, "Allez!"

Change sides to serve.

Chen Jin hooked a short pass.

Not transferring.

Felix originally wanted to lob the ball, but because the arc of the ball was too low, he didn't dare to do it rashly.

Immediately change your tactics and chop in a straight line.

Chen Jin took a half step back, lowered his center of gravity, kicked the board with his backhand, and rushed forward.

"Snapped!"

The ping-pong ball rushed towards Felix's left half of the table like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.

Felix stepped forward to grab the position and quickly ripped the ball with his backhand.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

……

The continuity and connection speed of their backhands have reached the extreme.

They fought back and forth, and no one was willing to give up easily.

But above the table, there were shadows flying around, difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

As we all know, Felix's backhand speed is almost unmatched in the world of table tennis.

However, Chen Jin did not lose the upper hand in the confrontation with him.

Even more at ease.

Even Felix couldn't help but exclaim: "What a fast speed!"

If I continue to fight hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain it.

"Change line!"

Felix knew very well that in a stalemate, whoever could change the line would win the game.

You must take the lead, change the landing point, and interrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Otherwise, once the other party changes line first, you will be the one who falls into a passive position.

Follow your heart.

Felix seized the opportunity, adjusted his pace and position slightly, and made slight changes to his batting shape.

"Snapped!"

The return ball lands straight on the center line.

This ball blocked Chen Jin's ability to exert force.

Fortunately, I have a healthy waist since I was young.

Chen Jin moved his feet slightly, twisted his waist, used the force to pull back and return the ball.

The same restriction was placed on Felix.

In desperation, Felix had to wipe it with his backhand.

Chen Jin slid sideways and charged with his forehand.

Felix was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated to defend himself and moved his forehand to the right.

"Snapped!"

Another ruthless critical hit.

Felix did not dare to confront him, so he had to continue to retreat and press back to the left.

Although he had stepped back from the table to relieve the force, he could still feel the powerful impact of Chen Jin's explosive shot hitting the racket.

Chen Jin leaped towards the left half of the table, and while in mid-air, he swung his racket to fight back.

"Snapped!"

The power and speed are not inferior to the forehand burst.

Felix was also desperate. He had no strength to fight back and could only continue to defend.

However, the landing point of the return ball was still within his control.

Flying towards Chen Jin's forehand position.

Chen Jin took a step forward and was about to pull back.

Unexpectedly, Felix's shot hit the net lightly.

next second.

It actually flew out and landed on the forehand small triangle.

"Fuck!"

Chen Jinru pushed his feet reflexively, started again, and lunged forward.

Fortunately, the ball was not moving fast.

As they were falling, Chen Jin grabbed the small triangle position.

Gently support it with your backhand.

The ping-pong ball flew out from under the table, passed the net, and landed on the opponent's table.

Extreme save!

However, the crisis has not been resolved.

Chen Jin knew in his heart that although the ball was barely saved, the quality was not high.

Next, what he faced was Felix's explosive charge filled with endless killing.

If it were any other player, they would have given up in this situation.

However, in Chen Jin's dictionary, the word "give up" has never appeared.

Never give up until the ball drops!
Therefore, the moment the ball was recovered.

Chen Jin rushed back like a lightning, desperately trying to get to the backhand position.

He expected that Felix would attack his left half of the table.

After all, the left half of Taiwan was already under air defense at this time.

Chen Jingang crossed the center line of the table, his hands ready for a counter-attack.

But a glance.

"wrong!"

"Felix is ​​running in a straight line!"

Obviously, Felix guessed that he wanted to attack with his backhand.

Deliberately doing the opposite.

This ball is not only a contest of offense and defense, but also a psychological game.

Seeing Chen Jin being fooled, Felix thought he had a sure win: "I don't believe that the ball can be saved."

The mind has not changed.

Sudden.

The ping-pong ball actually flew towards him.

"WTF?!"

Felix's face changed drastically.

He never expected that in this situation, Chen Jin's reaction was god-level. He forced a forehand switch midway, and like a stroke of genius, he actually brought the ball back quickly.

Shocked, Felix hurriedly blocked and barely managed to defend himself.

I have to admit that his reaction is equally quick.

Unfortunately, the offensive and defensive situation has changed.

What greeted him was Chen Jin's decisive and murderous forehand charge.

"Snapped!"

The explosive sound of the ball hitting the ground is like the roar of a dragon or a tiger.

The ping-pong ball was wrapped in an unparalleled force and momentum, like a meteorite from outer space, smashing down hard and instantly penetrating Felix's backhand.

5: 0.

"Wow—"

The scene was boiling again.

Countless audiences stood up and applauded.

They were all stunned by Chen Jin's extreme operation just now, and their faces were full of disbelief.

This speed, this reaction... in one word, amazing!

"Whoo~"

Chen Jin let out a long breath.

The expression on his face shows that he is not surprised by anything.

It seemed that, to him, this was just a basic operation and not worth mentioning at all.

Felix, on the other hand, was crestfallen and looked defeated: "Such a good opportunity, and I actually lost?"

"Is Chen Jin too strong, or am I too weak?"

I have tried my best, but still cannot win.

This feeling of frustration runs through my entire body, from head to toe.

Felix's mentality is a little broken.

Next game.

Fighting spirit is low.

Even the batting action began to become distorted.

In the end, the score of the first game was fixed at 11:3.

Chen Jin got off to a good start.

Pick up the towel and walk off the field.

Suddenly, a man in the audience screamed, "Yellow banana yellow!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Followed by.

A few more people followed the man and shouted at Chen Jin.

"Ok?"

Wang Hao frowned.

Before this, during the semi-final between Lin Shidong and Felix, there were similar voices in the audience.

Wang Hao was already feeling angry.

Now, this group of people started clamoring again, which made Wang Hao even more unhappy.

Seeing Wang Hao's gloomy face, Chen Jin didn't understand why and asked curiously, "Coach Wang, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Wang Hao suppressed his anger and said coldly, "In the next round, beat me to death."

"what?"

Chen Jin was stunned for a moment.

No one knew who had provoked Wang Hao, causing this usually gentle and refined man from Northeast China to be filled with a chilling murderous aura.
