Chapter 176 The real beginning(1/2)
The person involved left, but the contestants who were eavesdropping around were very happy. They originally thought that what they heard would be the contestants from both sides testing each other and taking precautions before the battle. However, they did not expect that the two contestants were so frank and actually talked about themselves.
Have all the flaws been revealed?
They feel that 18-year-old children these days are really honest...
So the players started taking notes like crazy.
"Lin Zijun was afraid of chipping the ball and couldn't beat Zhu Shixian. He said it himself."
"Lin Zijun is not good at dealing with long forehand balls."
"Lin Zijun is afraid of heavy gunners."
"Lin Zijun is afraid of the general on his left."
"Wang Chao is not fast enough."
"Wang Chao is afraid of transfers from both sides."
"Wang Chao's backhand is weak, and he is especially afraid of long balls from the baseline."
"When playing Wang Chao, you can't fight for the short ball inside the table."
"Write it down, write it all down. This is the most precious first-hand information, the weaknesses revealed by the two players themselves!"
"Hahaha, two innocent children, do you really think that we can't understand Chinese? We didn't even cover up our words at all when we spoke."
"Although we can't understand, we can record it!"
"Besides, who said we don't understand a bit of Chinese? Don't forget, if you want to play table tennis in China, you still have to learn a few hundred million points of Chinese."
"Young people are young people. No matter how sophisticated they are on the court, when it comes to social experience, they are really far behind and have no vigilance at all."
"What? A lie? How could it be a lie! I heard it with my own ears. They swore an oath in the name of their mother. If they lie, their legs will be broken!"
"Wang Chao, Lin Zijun, you are finished!"
…
At 10:30 the next morning, the TV was turned on at the Chinese Table Tennis National Team training base. Several big guys were sitting attentively. Today, it was rare that they neither played cards nor drank tea. Everyone gathered together and watched the game seriously, with even serious expressions.
.
Because this game is very unusual.
In the short term, Lin Zijun is the only outsider left in the semi-finals. If Wang Chao eliminates Lin Zijun, Huaping will win the championship and second place in this competition, exceeding the quota and completing the expected tasks ahead of schedule.
In the long run, these two people have already stood at the pinnacle of the new generation of young players in the table tennis world. Moreover, both of them are rare smart players with unlimited super high ceilings, so it is very likely that they will be in the next ten years.
, they will both be destined rivals.
After Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu retire, it is crucial whether Wang Chao can steadily suppress Lin Zijun and achieve Huaping's continued dominance.
On the TV screen, Wang Chao and Lin Zijun entered the scene. The camera fell on Wang Chao's face. Wang Chao yawned greatly and was caught in the camera.
The whole place burst into laughter.
The camera then naturally turned to Lin Zijun, but Lin Zijun also yawned greatly as if he was infected by Wang Chao.
For a moment, the audience burst into laughter.
"Hello, audience friends, audience friends, it is now 10:30 a.m. Imperial City time, this is China Television 5 Sports Channel, and I am the commentator Yijing."
The two official commentators were also in place. Although Yi Jing was accustomed to thinking divergently, he was a former doubles world champion after all, and he still had good eyesight. When he saw the two men yawning, he immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, athletes are here.
Yawning at this time does not mean that they are not serious about the game. On the contrary, it means that they pay enough attention to today's game, so they must have studied the video until very late last night."
"Huh? You ask me why I know, because I was like this when I was a player. I think back then, oh, that was seven years ago. I went to Germany to play in the World Table Tennis Championships with xxx. The conditions were like that
It’s so hard…”
Seeing that Yi Jing started to lose his temper again, Grasshopper immediately brought the topic back: "Okay, now the game has started, the players from both sides guess the coins, and the referee tosses the coins... Wow, you are lucky, now our country's Wang Chao player wins
When it comes to serving, Wang Chao has always been known for his varied serves. We will wait and see how he will serve the first ball."
Wang Chao's serve went long, the ball was extremely fast, and it hit the forehand baseline on Lin Zijun's side of the table.
Lin Zijun moved extremely fast. In an instant, he stepped back and turned sideways, charging hard with his board.
Wang Chao was prepared, and Lin Zijun was really thin, so the power of this shot was not great, so Wang Chao moved in advance and blocked the ball.
Lin Zijun moved quickly again, came to the right side of the ball, and directly performed a backhand twist on the table.
This twist was fast and tricky, and the ball almost brushed against the net. Wang Chao didn't dare to pull or challenge, so he could only continue to block, but the ball turned faster than expected, so he blocked
Below, it rises directly.
The ball actually reached Lin Zijun's forehand position, but Lin Zijun did not choose to continue the forehand charge, but moved to the right again, waiting for the ball to fall, and then made another backhand twist, and actually twisted a high-quality change ball.
This time Wang Chao was screwed to death.
1:0.
Lin Zijun's backhand twist is recognized by the world table tennis community as his strongest technique, and it is indeed well-deserved. It is impeccable in both speed and angle. Wang Chao has become passive after failing to steal the ball. He wants to find opportunities through defense, but
Lin Zijun's attack method is very strange. He does not use force blindly, but changes his forehand and backhand unconventionally.
Simply put, it means that the ball should be pulled with the forehand but must be twisted with the backhand.
It is obvious that the ball should be twisted with the backhand, but it must be pulled with the forehand.
In this shot just now, he had at least two opportunities to hit the forehand, but he forcefully chose the backhand.
The difference between the forehand and backhand lies not only in the position of the body, the angle facing the table, but also in the characteristics of the rubber on the front and back of the racket, as well as the innate difference in the posture of the forehand and backhand, so when he chooses to go against the rules
When hitting the ball, the opponent needs longer time to make a judgment.
But it happened that Lin Zijun was gifted with extreme speed. Both his footwork speed and his shooting speed were astonishingly fast. Therefore, even Wang Chao was confused by him at that moment and could not judge his change of line.

He also hit a long backspin ball that hit the bottom line on the left side of the Wang Chao table.
Wang Chao stood steadily in front of the stage, not moving a step, just flipping his wrist and performing a beautiful and light backhand twist. Although it was not as fast as Lin Zijun, the angle at which the ball flew was impeccable.
