Ding Xiaowei and Xie Mingyang fought for six rounds. In the end, Ding Xiaowei relied on his agile steps and stable chopping skills to overcome the tough opponent Xie Mingyang and took the lead in scoring a point.

Looking back at this game, whether in terms of technology or tactics, Ding Xiaowei and Xie Mingyang brought out their respective strengths to the fullest.

Xie Mingyang, who had not encountered long rubber for a long time, fought back in the third game after losing the first two games.

With a decisive start, a hot hand, and continuous bursts, he attacked as fast as the wind and as aggressive as fire, leaving Ding Xiaowei without even a chance to breathe.

In the fourth game, under the arrangement of Coach Liu, Ding Xiaowei decisively changed the formation and tactics.

Instead of playing at the same tempo as in the third game, they once again adopted the "offense-first, slice-secondary" style of play.

The match with Xie Mingyang was extremely difficult and the score was particularly close.

At one point the game was tied at 10-10.

In the fifth game, Xie Mingyang fell behind 0:5 at the start and started to chase points again.

There was even a small climax in which they scored eight points in a row.

The last game was even more difficult to decide.

Ding Xiaowei defeated Xie Mingyang by chance with two consecutive lucky shots that hit the net and the edge of the goal.

During the Youth Championship, Xie Mingyang also relied on continuous net and edge shots to defeat Ding Xiaowei.

And now, everything goes as it should.

All the lucky balls from that time were finally returned to Ding Xiaowei in this game.

"Well played."

If it were someone else, at such a crucial score, the opponent would have repeatedly hit the net and won the game by luck. I guess his mentality would have collapsed long ago.

however.

Xie Mingyang did not complain at all. His expression remained the same as before, as if he did not care about the outcome of the game at all.

He shook hands with Ding Xiaowei calmly.

In Xie Mingyang's opinion.

Putting aside the last two lucky goals, Ding Xiaowei's tactical style of play was quite successful throughout the game.

Especially the first two games, which are worth studying on your own.

In fact, losing is not terrible in competitive games.

The scary thing is that after losing a game, they don’t learn from the lesson or step up their training, and end up falling in the same place again next time.

Xie Mingyang is confident that after this game, if he meets Ding Xiaowei again in the future, he will be able to win easily!
Back to the sidelines.

He high-fived Teacher Liu to celebrate, and Teacher Liu naturally praised Ding Xiaowei highly.

Ding Xiaowei himself also felt a lot more relaxed.

By taking the initiative and scoring a point, you can firmly grasp the initiative in your hands.

Next, as long as we can get one more point from Zhang Jiahao.

Then the runner-up of this selection competition will be secured.

As for the championship...

OK!
I dare not even think about it!
That thing has already been taken, how could I have the guts to even think about it?

Unless something unexpected happens to Chen Jin, such as being hit by a meteorite from outer space.

Otherwise, who would dare to compete with him for the championship?

I was beaten all the way to the semi-finals by Chen Jin. If I don’t even have this much ability, then what’s the point of playing in the game!

Think about this.

Ding Xiaowei couldn't help but look back.

But Chen Jin had already returned from practice and was standing on the sidelines, drinking water, wiping his sweat, stretching his muscles, waiting to go on the court.

"Yo."

Wang Liqin smiled and said to Wang Hao, "Your candidate is here."

"Brother Li, please take another look at the wrinkles on my face."

Wang Hao smiled bitterly, "As the head coach of the men's table tennis team, I focus on the entire team, not just one person."

"Do you dare to say that you are not moved?"

Wang Liqin said with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Wang Hao suddenly fell silent.

Putting aside Coach Wu’s relationship, he did not personally attend the tryouts to watch Chen Jin’s competition over the past two days.

However, he still paid special attention to Chen Jin's battle record.

In the four round-robin matches, not only did we win all of them, but we also didn't lose a single game.

more importantly.

The scores in every game were overwhelming.

You know, all the contestants participating in this selection are talented teenagers from various provincial teams.

Even if a team of main players came, they might not be able to beat them up like Chen Jin did.

A true devil!

I believe Ding Xiaowei can relate to this point particularly.

Wang Hao also wanted to see with his own eyes what Chen Jin was like playing live.

In fact, he had already thought about it in his mind.

If Chen Jinzhen can win the championship in the selection tournament and successfully enter the national team, I will do my best to train her well and teach her all my straight-blade horizontal hitting techniques.

Since becoming a coach, Wang Hao sometimes feels like an old master with unique martial arts skills, and he really wants to find a talented disciple to pass on his skills.

Unfortunately, over the years, he has not met a true straight-blade genius who is worthy of his careful training.

And now.

Finally, he had such an opportunity. Just as Wang Liqin said, how could he not be tempted?

"Should we also have a grand slam with our straight blades?"

Wang Hao looked at Chen Jin with anticipation.

At this moment.

Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao have already appeared on the scene.

"Master Chen Jin, please don't pity Brother Zhang just because he is a delicate flower."

Ouyang Liangqin shouted loudly, "Hit him, hit him hard."

Zhang Jiahao: “…”

Could you please remember my name before you speak?
"Yes, yes, yes. Just like you beat us before, don't show mercy."

Qin Wenjie and Chen Zihan also said.

...Fuck me!

Zhang Jiahao rolled his eyes.

but.

Having lived with Chen Jin day and night for two and a half years, how could he not know what kind of personality Chen Jin has?

If it was just a regular training match within the group, Chen Jin might have let the opponent win.

But once it comes to a serious competition, Chen Jin will not recognize anyone!

When you need to charge, charge with all your might, no matter who your opponent is, and show no mercy.

Knowing this, during the handshake before the game, Zhang Jiahao still put on a pitiful look and pleaded, "Godfather, the big boss is watching, please give me some face."

"My requirements are not high, just don't shave my head for four games."

Chen Jin made an OK gesture: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"but--"

He suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever heard a saying?"

"What?"

“A dutiful son emerges from under a stick.”

"?"

Zhang Jiahao only felt his buttocks tighten, and an inexplicable chill ran from his coccyx along his spine at a speed of one hundred meters per second, and instantly rushed to the back of his head.

He knew in his heart that Chen Jin would not let up at all in this match.

He could only grit his teeth and fight Chen Jin with bayonets.

I just don’t know…

"Can my small body withstand Brother Jin's fierce and brutal attacks again and again?"

Zhang Jiahao was afraid before the battle even started.

No matter what, a fierce battle is inevitable.

Since the two are teammates from the same provincial team, they are very close.

Therefore, according to convention, Coach Zhang did not provide on-site coaching.

Instead, he stood on the sidelines like everyone else, folded his arms, and watched the game quietly.

When they were in the provincial team, he was not the head coach of either of them.

However, both of them are promising players of the provincial team, so how could Coach Zhang not know that?

not to mention.

Chen Jin and Zhang Jiahao have also played in many training matches within the group.

The results speak for themselves.

"There is no suspense in this game."

Coach Zhang was calm and uninterested. "The only suspense is whether Zhang Jiahao can win a few points against Chen Jin."

"After four games, if Zhang Jiahao can score five points, it will be considered a success."

"No!"

"Five points is still too much for Zhang Jiahao. If he can get three points, it will be considered a success."
