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

Chapter 34 [034] Coach, I tried my best, but I can’t beat you.
Shu Sanhu held the racket, lowered his body, stood at the backhand corner of the table, his mouth slightly open, and breathed heavily.

His eyes were fixed on Chen Jin opposite him.

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

The small ping-pong ball rose and fell repeatedly between the table and Chen Jin's palm, bouncing quickly and making quick and crisp sounds.

When Shu Sanhu heard this, even his breathing became faster.

Big beads of sweat slid down Shu Sanhu's cheeks.

"Gulu~"

Shu Sanhu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Looking at this person of the same age in front of me, who is about 1.75 meters tall, half a head shorter than me, and a little thin.

But the muscles of the arms and thighs show extremely exaggerated and perfect lines.

Especially the moment when he swings the racket and hits the ball.

The arm muscles instantly tensed up like pieces of iron, full of explosive power.

Even Shu Sanhu, who often lifts weights, couldn't help but look envious.

After only six rounds of fighting, Shu Sanhu had already clearly felt Chen Jin's unparalleled impact.

The ball that rushed towards him from the opponent was not a ping-pong ball at all, it was clearly a cannonball!
The ping-pong ball, packed with tremendous force and loop, hit the racket hard, and even Shu Sanhu, who was known for his defense, felt a shock in his palms.

Shu Sanhu even suspected that after playing this game with Chen Jin, he might need to change to a new baseboard.

"I think the Paulownia wood core of my base is about to be broken by him."

Before this, Shu Sanhu had also witnessed the explosive quality of Chen Jin's single board.

He also watched the match between Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang from beginning to end.

I have to admit that the other party is indeed very strong.

However, no matter who you are, you will more or less have the mentality of "never give up until you reach the Yellow River".

Shu Sanhu is no exception.

Before fighting with Chen Jin, he always felt that with his defensive skills, he might be able to withstand Chen Jin's explosive charge.

however.

When he really faced Chen Jin, he realized clearly that there was a huge gap between imagination and reality.

Chen Jin's explosive charge is not only powerful, but also has a loop and a strong side spin.

According to the coach's tactical arrangement, Shu Sanhu had already retreated from the stage early to relieve the force.

But in the end, he still underestimated Chen Jin's explosive charge.

Can't help it!
There's no way to prevent it!
Either it flies out of bounds or it goes into the net.

There were even cases where the ball missed the target and hit the thumb.

more importantly.

Even if he managed to defend the first shot, Chen Jin's next shot was more powerful, with more rotation, and the arc was more sideways.

The score of 0:6 at the start was enough to explain everything.

off the field.

Shu Sanhu's coach crossed his arms, his face gloomy and his brows furrowed.

Judging from the content of the game, Chen Jin's playing style was almost exactly the same as he predicted before the game.

And there was nothing wrong with Shu Sanhu's tactical execution.

He did not fight with Chen Jin for the ball inside the table. He tried to push the ball as close to Chen Jin's center line as possible, and also retreated from the table to relieve the force.

But still lost.

What else is there to say?
The coach narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Jin, wondering, "Is this kid really only sixteen years old?"

Not to mention a sixteen-year-old boy, even an adult in his prime might not be able to possess such explosive power.

A genius boy suddenly appeared!
The coach suddenly remembered the media's evaluation of the sixteen-year-old Fan Zhendong.

Perhaps, these eight words are not an exaggeration when applied to the young man in front of us.

"Fuck! Chen Jin's forehand attack is so powerful that even a defensive expert like Shu Sanhu can't defend against it in three shots."

"So far, Chen Jin should be the first person to break through Shu Sanhu's defense from the front."

"That's right. The reason why Xie Mingyang was able to defeat Shu Sanhu was because of his tactics, hitting the target and mobilizing Shu Sanhu."

"Luckily, I was eliminated a long time ago and didn't run into Chen Jin. Otherwise, I would have been beaten to pieces by him."

"The one with a broken heart, learn from Ding Xiaowei. Ding Xiaowei was beaten by the great god Chen Jin for three rounds, but he still stood firm and made it to the quarterfinals." "If this selection competition is about who is more miserable, I have to vote for Ding Xiaowei."

"Don't be ridiculous. How could they be so miserable? No matter how miserable they were, they still defeated the top eight. But what about you?"

"You're really heartbroken, old man."

……

Everyone at the scene, while watching the game, expressed their opinions during the breaks between serves.

Everyone was amazed at Chen Jin's powerful explosive ability.

For many people.

There was no suspense about the outcome of this game.

The only thing he wanted to know was whether Chen Jin could break through the defense of the "Immovable Stone Tiger" head-on.

Facts have proved that Shu Sanhu's strongest shield in the Youth Championship is still no match for Chen Jin's explosive attacks.

11: 1.

11: 2.

In the two games, Chen Jin won all the games steadily except for one or two mistakes that might have led to him letting the opponent win.

"Well done, I learned from you."

Shu Sanhu was sincerely convinced.

"Concession."

Chen Jin smiled.

After shaking hands, they each returned to the sidelines.

Shu Sanhu wiped his sweat, walked towards the coach, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Coach, I tried my best, but I really can't beat him."

"fine."

The coach patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be affected by this game. Your next game with Ding Xiaowei is the key."

As he said this, he looked up at Ding Xiaowei who was about to go on stage.

Although Shu Sanhu lost to Chen Jin, he still has one point and retains a great chance of qualifying.

The next match is between Ding Xiaowei and Xu Yutian.

With neither player scoring a single point, this match was particularly important.

Whoever wins this game will take the initiative not only in terms of the qualifying points, but also in terms of the mentality of the game.

If Ding Xiaowei wins, then Xu Yutian will most likely be eliminated directly by Chen Jin.

If Xu Yutian wins, Ding Xiaowei will definitely try every means to get a point back from Shu Sanhu.

As Shu Sanhu's coach, he knows Shu Sanhu's technical characteristics very well.

He knew very well that Ding Xiaowei's long rubber chopping style of play was exactly what gave Shu Sanhu the most headaches and was the most difficult to deal with.

Once facing Ding Xiaowei, unless Shu Sanhu suddenly explodes, the chances of their winning will probably be 40:60.

"Fortunately, this is Ding Xiaowei's match. I can watch it carefully and study his playing style in detail."

The coach crossed his arms, frowned, and stared at Ding Xiaowei intently.

And the other side.

Ding Xiaowei's coach continued to give Ding Xiaowei tactical instructions before the game started.

"Xiao Wei, you have to remember that this game is indeed important, but it is not the most crucial one."

"Even if you lose to Xu Yutian, you still have a chance to advance, so you must relax."

Hear this.

Ding Xiaowei, who was warming up, said seriously: "Coach Liu, don't worry, my mentality now is better than ever."

Nonsense, he was beaten for four rounds by this monster Chen Jin, but he was still able to stand on the field. How could his mentality be bad?
"That's good."

Coach Liu smiled and continued, "Don't be anxious, play in a relaxed manner, cut when you should cut, pull when you should pull, be resolute, don't hesitate, maneuver your feet, and open up the landing point."

"Also, if you win, don't hold it in. You must shout it out. If you lose, don't lose your momentum. Do you understand?"

Ding Xiaowei nodded: "I understand."

"Okay, let's go."

Teacher Liu clapped his hands vigorously and shouted in encouragement, "Come on, come on!"
