Chapter 58 [058] Horizontal and Vertical Battle (4)

"Snapped!"

……

Chen Jin made four consecutive backhand shots, tearing apart Xie Mingyang's defense.

To know.

Xie Mingyang's backhand defense has improved a lot after two days of practice with Wang Liqin.

But he still couldn't withstand Chen Jin's continuous backhand attacks.

Especially the last ball.

Xie Mingyang even pressed his body center forward, trying to hold down Chen Jin's explosive attack.

however.

The ping-pong ball was like a huge truck rushing on the highway, hitting Xie Mingyang's racket hard.

A powerful force instantly penetrates the rubber and reaches the core of the board.

"Snapped!"

Xie Mingyang only felt a violent shock on his thumb, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

There was no time to make any remedial response, and all I could do was watch the ping-pong ball fly out of bounds, fall to the ground, and spin non-stop.

In the huge training hall, the sound of balls hitting each other still lingers and echoes.

Everyone at the scene was already dumbfounded.

The sound of people gasping for air rose and fell like windmills outside the stadium.

It is hard to imagine that such fierce and stable backhand bursts came from a straight-blade player!

"Oh my god, is this really a straight backhand? It's so fucking powerful!"

"Compared to horizontal rackets, the wrist of a penholder is too flexible. Once the backhand is swung, the first two shots may be fine, but after three shots, the racket face is easily deformed, causing the landing point to shift or even fly out of bounds... But Chen Jin's backhand was ripped, and the landing point did not change much while ensuring the quality of the four shots. Is this kid's wrist made of iron?"

"When Master Chen Jin fought us before, he probably didn't even use 30% of his strength, right?"

"This backhand continuous burst of skills, even I, a horizontal board player, am jealous."

……

It's not just the contestants who are watching the competition on site.

Liu Guoliang, Wang Hao, Ma Lin, Wang Liqin and others outside the court were also stunned by Chen Jin's terrifying backhand.

"Isn't Chen Jin a disciple of Coach Wu?"

Liu Guoliang was surprised and delighted, and looked back at Wang Hao, "But his backhand is quite different from yours back then."

"If we really want to compare, Chen Jin's backhand is a bit like LeBron Jr."

Wang Hao is indeed a master of horizontal hitting with a straight blade. He saw the trick at a glance, "Backhand blast, small movements, concentrated force, full of explosive power."

“However, compared to LeBrun, Chen Jin is obviously more precise in the use of his forearm, fingers and wrist.”

"Obviously, this is a set of horizontal hitting techniques designed specifically for Chen Jin by Coach Wu, who carefully studied the horizontal hitting techniques of me, Xu Xin, Qiu Dang and Lebrun, and combined them with Chen Jin's physical fitness."

"He is fierce and stable, and he coordinates his steps and takes into account the transition between forehand and backhand. Even when facing the top horizontal backhand players in the world table tennis today, he will not necessarily lose the upper hand."

Wang Hao's speech speed became faster and faster, as if he was talking to himself.

But a hint of excitement appeared on his face, which looked like an old man.

The Chinese national table tennis team really found a treasure this time!

There is hope for echelon construction!

There is hope for the straight board to come out!

Dad Wu, congratulations on training another excellent straight-blade player!

There are so many people here, all of them are the best in table tennis.

But when it comes to straight-blade horizontal hitting technique, who can compare with Wang Hao?

But seeing that Wang Hao could hardly suppress his inner excitement for a moment and spoke highly of Chen Jin, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“After so many years, has a genius finally emerged to inherit the legacy of the straight-blade predecessors and revive the straight-blade?”

In addition to Wang Liqin, Liu Guoliang, Wang Hao and Ma Lin were all once straight-blade players.

Deep down, I have a special feeling for candy bars.

However, due to the current mainstream trend in table tennis, the only way for the Chinese national table tennis team to remain invincible is to vigorously cultivate horizontal players.

And now, we have finally discovered a talented boy with a straight-blade keyboard, and the anticipation in our hearts is self-evident.

"Don't get excited too soon."

Liu Guoliang said in a deep voice, "Over the years, there have been straight-blade geniuses, but it's a pity that none of them were able to make it in the end."

"We still need to let Chen Jin gain more experience and see how the situation turns out." Wang Hao nodded: "Understood."

There was a bit more expectation in the look he gave Chen Jin.

……

1: 4.

Xie Mingyang had a blank expression on his face. He walked to the left side of the table, reached out and touched it, and frowned in his heart: "Is the backhand so explosive?"

As the person involved, he knew better than anyone how terrifying the power of Chen Jin's four consecutive backhand bursts was.

It is even more ferocious than Chen Jin's forehand attack.

“It’s still hard to fight.”

Thinking of this, Xie Mingyang couldn't help but look back at Wang Liqin.

But Wang Liqin also had a frown on his face.

It can be seen that even Director Wang did not expect that Chen Jin's backhand would be so stable and explosive.

"Don't worry, take your time."

Xie Mingyang secretly reminded himself, "Don't be afraid of your opponent, relax your mind."

"At this point, I have to admit that Chen Jin's strength is indeed far superior to mine."

"Losing to him is not... shameful."

Ever since winning the Youth Championship, Xie Mingyang, who is full of pride, has been constantly telling himself deep in his heart that as a champion, he must not lose to any of his peers.

Because he is the strongest.

However, the appearance of Chen Jin turned his champion status, which clearly symbolized glory, into a heavy burden.

But now, I have to overcome this psychological barrier and put down the burden.

Xie Mingyang took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

“Relax and give it your all.”

"Take this opportunity to find out my own shortcomings with the help of Chen Jin."

“Only later will I know the direction of training and improvement.”

Xie Mingyang tried hard to calm himself down, and while re-examining himself, he was also able to see his opponent more clearly.

"what?"

Chen Jin looked at Xie Mingyang with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Xie Mingyang seems to have relaxed a lot all of a sudden."

“This self-adjustment ability is quite good.”

"interesting."

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But soon, it was replaced by coldness.

His body's center of gravity dropped, and his eyes became more fierce.

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

Xie Mingyang grabbed the ping-pong ball, tossed it upwards gently, and served it with a reverse spin.

The old routine, Chen Jin stepped forward and made short moves to restrict Xie Mingyang's attack.

Xie Mingyang quickly glanced at Chen Jin's restored position after the short swing, and quickly rubbed the board, landing directly in the middle of the lane to catch up with Chen Jin.

"Change of tactics again?"

Chen Jin took a half step back with his left leg, pulled his body out of the hitting space, swung it backhand, and rushed forward diagonally.

The force of this board is not too great.

Slightly slower.

Xie Mingyang decisively took a step sideways, swung his arm, and rushed forward with a forehand.

The ping-pong ball hit Chen Jin's backhand hard.

"Are we going to change from passive defense to active offense so soon?"

Chen Jin took a step forward and swung his hand back.

Use the force to pull the ball back.

Predicting the landing point, Xie Mingyang continued to turn sideways and made a violent diagonal shot.

At this time, Chen Jin had already established his backhand position and retreated to the middle table.

Push your body's center of gravity forward to face the incoming ball, hold the racket in place, and suddenly exert force with your forearm and wrist.
