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

Chapter 99 [099] Is this the power that a or -year-old child can possess?!
The score was 0:4 at the beginning. This situation is actually very common in table tennis matches.

After all, it is the first time to play against each other, and you are not familiar with the opponent's playing rhythm. If you fail to handle the opponent's serve and receive well, it is easy to lose points.

In previous competitions, Yuta Tanaka had also had such a devastating start.

But in the end, it was possible to reverse the score difference and turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, facing an unfavorable situation, Yuta Tanaka's mentality remains as steady as Mount Fuji.

The key is that we cannot just lose games without being able to make timely adjustments.

After recovering from the shock, Yuta Tanaka's mind raced.

Looking back at the last few shots, I obviously lost in the first three shots.

You know, the other party is a straight-blade player.

The first three boards are the areas where straight boards are more adept.

If you compete with a straight-blade on the table and in the first three shots, it would be strange if you don’t lose!
"Next, we must not let this kid lead us by the nose anymore."

Tanaka Yuta thought to himself, "I must find a way to quickly change the tempo of the game to the backhand stalemate that I am good at."

Think about this.

After letting out a long breath of the foul air that was stuck in his chest, Yuta Tanaka jumped up and down on the spot, forcing himself to calm down.

the other side.

But seeing that Chen Jin was ready to serve, Tanaka Yuta leaned down and said, "Watch the ball!"

His eyes were as sharp as lightning, closely watching Chen Jin's every move.

Even the expression on his face changes.

Chen Jin had no expression on his face and continued to serve with a hook shot.

Short ball down the side, slightly right of center.

Yuta Tanaka stepped forward decisively and quickly inserted his right leg under the table.

Twist your waist and raise your elbows.

Keep your wrists inward and your racket lowered.

Facing the taking-off point of the incoming ball, use the elbow joint as a fulcrum and pause slightly.

The waist and abdomen suddenly exert force.

Twist inside the stage!
The ping-pong ball has a strong side spin, not much power but very fast speed.

The ball flew in a low arc, across the net, and towards Chen Jin's chasing position.

I have to say that Yuta Tanaka's internal twist really showed some skill.

The power and rotation are slightly weak, but the speed and arc are both good.

more importantly.

He controlled the landing point of this ball very accurately.

With the help of speed, he successfully stopped Chen Jin.

This resulted in Chen Jin being unable to turn sideways or retreat from the stage in time, and he was even less able to actively exert force.

I had no choice but to lean back and gently rub the board.

The quality of the return ball is far from ideal.

The force, rotation, speed, landing point...all are flaws.

But this is a helpless move.

As long as the ball can get on the table, there is still a chance of winning.

"Chance ball!"

Tanaka Yuta's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in them.

Aim for the landing point, on the backhand side.

He pushed his feet hard and slid sideways quickly.

Yuta Tanaka turned his waist and led the racket, with murderous intent suddenly gathering in his heart.

"Snapped!"

Forehand burst.

The small ping-pong ball suddenly turned into a ferocious wolf, with fangs and claws bared, and pounced fiercely at Chen Jin's backhand at a large angle.

And at this time.

Knowing that he had made a mistake in returning the ball, giving his opponent a chance to charge, Chen Jin anticipated the situation and stepped back to the middle and far table.

See the moment the ping-pong ball comes rushing towards you.

Chen Jin squatted with his legs down, with his right foot slightly forward, and the center of gravity of his entire body was almost entirely on his left leg.

Tighten your waist and abdominal muscles.

The forearms sink and adduct, and the wrists bend inward and relax.

Wait for the ball to fly in front of you.

In a snap of your fingers, seize the fleeting opportunity to hit the ball together.

Suddenly.

Push the ground with your left leg, and the force starts from the ground.

Waist, abdomen, arms...the power is transmitted to the fingers and wrists at an unimaginable speed.

Use all your body's strength to concentrate on the racket at the moment of hitting the ball.

Backhand blast!

Like a roc spreading its wings.

"Snapped!"

A deafening sound of hitting the ball, like thunder, suddenly rang out above the stadium.

As fast as lightning.

The momentum is as heavy as a landslide.

"Nani?"

Tanaka Yuta's expression changed again.

He never thought that his confident charge would be thrown back by Chen Jin. Moreover, the power, speed and rotation were much stronger than his previous charge!
"Why is this kid's backhand so strong?"

Without time to think, Tanaka Yuta hurriedly took two steps back.

However, with such a hitting space, it is impossible to hit the ball back.

The only way is to defend.

Yuta Tanaka's reaction was quite quick. He immediately took a firm stance, leaned forward, and held the racket tightly with his thumb.

With the strength of his entire body's center of gravity, he was able to stop Chen Jin's backhand charge.

"Snapped!"

The originally small and light ping-pong ball hit the racket like a cannonball.

Tanaka Yuta only felt his entire right arm shake.

"What a powerful force."

Tanaka Yuta couldn't help but take a deep breath again, with a hint of shock in his eyes, "Is this something a 15 or 16-year-old child can have?"

The mind has not changed.

Glancing at Chen Jin opposite him, his figure suddenly flashed, and with an airtight connection, he switched to a forehand charge.

"Snapped!"

There was another crisp and loud sound of the board going through.

Explosive diagonal line!

The ping-pong ball almost brushed the white line on the left edge of Yuta Tanaka's table and flew out.

Yuta Tanaka was unable to pounce.

5: 0.

Chen Jin is unstoppable.

"nice shot!"

"Pretty!"

"Brother Jin, awesome!"

Seeing Chen Jin's shot, he was so aggressive that Tanaka Yuta looked helpless.

In the audience, Zhang Jiahao jumped up, danced and cheered loudly.

"Brother Jin, hit him, hit him hard!"

Zhang Jiahao clapped his hands vigorously and shouted, "Just like you abused Xie before, abuse him hard."

"..."

Xie Mingyang rolled his eyes.

Inside the arena.

He looked at Chen Jin with some shock. No matter how good his mentality was, Tanaka Yuta couldn't help but show some fluctuations at this moment.

He also wanted to bring the rhythm of the game into his own pace as soon as possible.

Originally, the ball just now was a great opportunity for him.

But Chen Jin seemed to have seen through his thoughts long ago and played particularly aggressively, ending the fight in the first three boards and not giving him any chance to fight back.

"It seems that I thought too simply."

Tanaka Yuta thought to himself, "If I want to enter the stalemate stage, I must get through the first three boards first."

"Chen Jin is too good at taking the initiative. We must find a way to limit him."

"Now we can only try the control inside the platform."

Take a deep breath.

adjust your mindset.

Tanaka Yuta kept reminding himself: "It's only the first game, there's still a chance."

It’s still Chen Jin who scores the goal.

The same hook shot as always, the same short side ball that never changes.

However, the landing point has changed.

Small triangle on the left half of the stage.

Yuta Tanaka tried to hit a short backhand, but it went into the net.

"idiot!"

Tanaka Yuta cursed with annoyance on his face.

With such a big score difference, and still making such a low-level mistake, I really want to slap myself in the face.

"It's already zero to six."

"We must catch up as soon as possible, otherwise the first game will be in danger."

In a best-of-five match, the margin for error is not very high.

The outcome of the first game depends on your mentality.

If we can win, it will be a great boost to morale in the next game.

But the more Tanaka Yuta thought about it, the more nervous he became.

My hands tightened and I made a serve error.

0: 7.

Fortunately, this was a table tennis match and the score was still acceptable.

If it were the football team next door, if anyone got a score like this, they would all commit suicide on the spot.

however.

Even though they were so far behind, they still made a serve error.

"Ahhh-"

The whole place was filled with Tanaka Yuta's screams filled with frustration.
