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

Chapter 257 Extra Match! Challenge the world's number one men's doubles!

11: 5.

11:4.
11: 3.

11: 2.

Facts have proved that in the face of absolute strength, there is no such thing as “what if”.

Even with a world champion doubles player like Wang Chuqin as their advisor, Huang Youzheng and Wen Ruibo still suffered a crushing defeat.

In terms of personal strength, Huang Youzheng and Wen Ruibo are not as good as Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao.

In addition, the cooperation between Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao is seamless.

Running and filling in the gaps was like being assisted by God.

Although Zhang Jiahao's offensive ability is relatively weak, his loop and control abilities allow him to hit almost anything he points to.

Huang Youzheng and Wen Ruibo were caught in a dilemma and were at a loss as to what to do. They were either controlled to death by the opponent or faced with Chen Jin's unreasonable burst.

The power, speed, landing point...it was like a heavy artillery attack, unstoppable.

Everyone at the scene, especially the female players, were amazed when they saw the quality of Chen Jin's snowboard.

"No wonder Chen Jin was able to win five championships in just two months. The quality of his snowboard is too scary."

"Isn't it said that the backhand of a straight-blade is weak? Why is Chen Jin's backhand so strong?"

"It's hard to imagine what would happen if I were hit by Chen Jin's explosive attack."

……

more importantly.

Chen Jin changed his silent state during singles play. He was not only decisive and fierce in his moves, but also full of vigor and passion.

Every time he won a goal, he roared.

The shouts of "Cuo Le" resounded throughout the venue like thunder.

Morale on the field fluctuates.

As Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao roared with clenched fists, their majestic aura, like a mountain, suppressed Huang Youzheng and Wen Ruibo so much that they had difficulty breathing.

Losing is a given.

In the last ball of the fourth game, Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao even played an exhibition match, retreating from the table and hitting high balls.

No matter how crazy the opponent's smashes were, the two of them cooperated well, advanced and retreated in moderation, and worked together to form an indestructible wall, providing an impenetrable defense.

In the end, Huang Youzheng made a mistake in his smash and the ball flew out of bounds.

"Cuo Le!"

"Boiled!"

Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao roared in anger at the same time.

A handshake.

Chest bang celebration.

The best-of-seven match was over in less than twenty minutes.

It also means that the U19 participants in the World Youth Championship in Sweden have been determined.

Men's group: Chen Jin, Xie Mingyang, Zhang Jiahao, Huang Youzheng.

Men's singles: Chen Jin, Xie Mingyang.

Men's doubles: Chen Jin, Zhang Jiahao.

Huang Youzheng went from being the third singles and the men's doubles player in the men's team to being a substitute in the men's team.

As for Wen Ruibo, he completely lost the qualification to participate in the competition.

"The teamwork was excellent and the tactics were just right."

Li Suo smiled and was full of praise.

"Zhang Jiahao's personal strength is not as good as Chen Jin's, but his position is very clear, which is to control the ball and create offensive space for Chen Jin."

Wang Hao nodded and said, "I played to my strengths and avoided my weaknesses, and used my looping characteristics to the fullest extent."

Even Ma Taki, who is known as the "Hexagonal Warrior", has his own weaknesses in technology.

However, the reason why Ma Taki has become an evergreen in the table tennis world is because he is good at playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, making up for his technical shortcomings.

“Of course, what surprised me the most was Chen Jin’s doubles performance.”

Wang Hao's mouth curled up slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. "No matter the continuity or the quality of the single board, it is not inferior to the singles at all."

Doubles is different from singles.

Since there was one more person around me, I couldn't swing my arms and legs as freely as I could when playing alone.

Fortunately, the perfect understanding between the two did not limit Chen Jin's performance.

Ultimately, it is a question of cooperation between each other.

"There is no suspense about the selection for the World Youth Championship."

Li Suo smiled and said, "Report it directly, so that the International Table Tennis Federation won't come to urge us again."

"it is good."

Wang Hao nodded, "But I think our focus should not be limited to the World Youth Championship."

"I understand what you mean."

Li Suo said, "I'll also take a look at the upper limit of Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao's doubles."

It hits it off.

Wang Hao had an idea in his mind, and immediately took a half step forward and shouted, "Chen Jin, Zhang Jiahao."

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice, they both turned around at the same time and looked at Wang Hao with some confusion.

"Take a five-minute break, and then you can have an extra game."

Wang Hao said.

"what?"

Zhang Jiahao was completely stunned. "Didn't they say that winning this game would be enough?"

"Coach Wang, you can't add extra weight at the last minute."

He thought that the coaching staff felt that the game was won too easily, so they wanted to play an extra game.

But if it goes on like this, one game after another, one game after another, when will it end?

"Don't worry, you have already qualified for the World Youth Championship."

Wang Hao smiled and said, "An extra game is a reward for you."

Is this considered a reward?
Zhang Jiahao was about to question but was stopped by Chen Jin.

"The coaching staff wants to see the upper limit of our doubles cooperation." Chen Jin saw through it at a glance, "Perform well."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Jiahao didn't understand for a moment, and turned around in a daze to look at Chen Jin.

Without waiting for Chen Jin to speak.

He suddenly reacted and whispered, "If I play well, I can get the favor of the coaching staff and get more opportunities?"

"good."

Chen Jin nodded.

"Understood!"

Zhang Jiahao suddenly realized what was going on and became more energetic. "Add more! Add as much as you can!"

"Anyway, as long as you, Brother Jin, are standing by my side, I'm not afraid of anyone coming!"

At the beginning, in the national table tennis U16 selection, he, Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang entered the second team, competed in the Lima Regular Challenge and served as a sparring partner in the Macau Championship. His future was originally bright.

But because of the conflict, his career was almost ruined.

Now, although he has returned to the second team, the gap between him and Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang is getting bigger and bigger.

Needless to say, Chen Jin won five championships in a row.

Xie Mingyang also made his mark in the BJ Grand Slam and Montpellier Championship.

In this World Youth Championship, he and Chen Jin both obtained singles qualifications.

It's obvious that the coaching staff thinks highly of him.

Even Huang Youzheng, who lost to him in the National Championships, qualified for the World Youth Championships.

On the other hand, although I won the men's singles championship in the National Championships, the news of returning to the national team has not come for nearly half a month.

Starting from the same starting line, the gap between him and Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang is getting bigger and bigger.

If it weren't for Chen Jin's suggestion, he might still be in the Magic City team.

Zhang Jiahao knows clearly that he has made great progress in his career thanks to a good brother.

Of course, just having help from brothers is not enough.

You must strive to do your best and seize every hard-earned opportunity.

There is no doubt that the extra game proposed by Wang Hao is an opportunity for himself.

Since it is an opportunity, how can we let it go easily?

"I'm training hard in the Magic City team, isn't it just to wait for an opportunity?"

Zhang Jiahao secretly clenched his fists, "I don't want to prove anything to anyone, I just want to tell myself that I will definitely get back what I lost."

For ordinary people, they may work hard thousands of times, but real opportunities will only appear one or two of them.

If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Seeing that the two agreed and were full of fighting spirit, Wang Hao smiled slightly and immediately called Xiang Peng and Yuan Licen.

"Wow, Coach Wang actually wants to use Xiang Peng and Yuan Licen to test Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao?"

"If I remember correctly, Xiang Peng and Yuan Licen just topped the world men's doubles rankings."

"To have two newcomers team up to form the world's No. 1 men's doubles team... I can only say that Coach Wang is worthy of his name."

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people outside the venue.

The singles results of Xiang Peng and Yuan Licen are mediocre in the national table tennis team.

But the duo's doubles performance was quite impressive.

Especially since the beginning of this year.

In the WTT men's finals, the two swept the "Double Lin combination" of Lin Shidong and Lin Gaoyuan with a score of 3:0, won the championship, and became gods in one battle.

In the following international competitions, he won two championships, one runner-up and two semi-finals.

According to the latest ranking, with 2955 points, he surpassed the Lebrun brothers, the Lin pair, Ma Long and Wang Chuqin to become the world's number one.

In this Fukuoka finals, the two will also go to Japan as the number one seed in men's doubles.

There is no doubt that the reason why the two were able to top the world rankings in men's doubles is that their playing style and coordination are naturally outstanding.

Xiang Peng excels in speed and precise control, and is good at suppressing the opponent's backhand through large-angle maneuvers.

Yuan Licen was known for his control of the court and his offensive skills, especially sneak attacks at the baseline and backhand lobs, which were his special talents in the game.

The two players, one on the left and one on the right, coordinate their positions to form a tactical system of "fast break + control", with offense and defense complementing each other.

Wang Hao called the two of them over to have an extra match with Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao, and his intention was obvious.

During the match just now, Xiang Peng and Yuan Licen stood outside the court, watching quietly, and discussed privately: "If it were us, would we be able to handle it?"

The conclusion is, "It's a bit shaky."

After all, Chen Jin's attack was too fierce. Xiang Peng had experienced this deeply as early as the BJ Grand Slam.

Unexpectedly, the two people who were originally watching the show were called out by the head coach.

No matter how reluctant Xiang Peng and Yuan Licen were, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and head for the competition arena.

"The same old rules, still best of seven."

Wang Hao said, "The winner will be rewarded with two pieces of rubber."

"Only two pieces of rubber?"

Zhang Jiahao curled his lips and muttered softly.

"how?"

Wang Hao smiled and said, “Zhang Jiahao, do you want to add more weight?”

"Do not want to."

Zhang Jiahao quickly shook his head.

"You don't want to, but I do."

Wang Hao restrained his smile and said seriously, "The winner, in addition to two rubbers, will also be qualified to participate in the Doha Star Challenge in January next year."

This statement came out.

A gleam of heat suddenly flashed in the eyes of Zhang Jiahao, Xiang Peng and Yuan Licen.

An event of the level of the Doha Star Challenge naturally has no appeal to Chen Jin now.

But for other young players, this is a rare opportunity to participate.

Zhang Jiahao's face was full of excitement, and he rubbed his palms together: "This reward is not bad... Then I will really get serious."
