Everyone can see that Sun Tianlong's goal was actually a gain without scoring.

Judging from the scene, he was suppressed by Hook.

Two hours ago, the same situation happened with the first ball of Xiao Fei's first game against Hook. Xiao Fei was bombarded wildly by Hook, but in the end he firmly held his ground and won the first point.

The two games started exactly the same.

But Xiao Fei was defeated miserably 0:4 in the end.

Therefore, the victory of this first goal actually made some fans who believe in metaphysics get excited. They always felt that Sun Tianlong had an uncertain start.

Hook serves again.

It was still a high-throw ball with super-fast backspin, and it went straight into Sun Tianlong's right-hand baseline.

Anyone who knows Hook knows that his serve has nothing to do with tactical strategy.

He simply likes to throw high, and he simply prefers all kinds of super-high-quality balls.

So he doesn't make fake moves, nor does he deliberately fail to turn. He just wants to be fast enough, turn enough, and be long enough.

In fact, his serve is extremely powerful, and he has relied on it to score many points in international competitions.

Even Xiao Fei missed three of his serves in the semifinals.

On the first ball, Hooker hit the backhand baseline and lost, so this time, he will try the right-hand baseline.

Hook is actually very smart and has a very high IQ, but he does not like to systematically analyze the ins and outs of his game. He relies more on intuition. For example, this time, he only knew that the first serve was lost in the end, so he wanted to serve the second one.

If he changed the landing point, he didn't care as to how the first ball was lost or whether it was directly related to the serve.

This is probably a certain racial trait of the Samba people.

The unique passion factor in their character, if understood from another angle, is actually called "whatever comes to mind is what comes out".

But for Sun Tianlong, he can only rub the bottom line on his backhand, but he can attack directly on the bottom line on his forehand.

Sun Tianlong retreated, turned sideways, turned his waist, tightened his abdomen, and charged forward with a forehand!

As the only recognized hexagonal warrior in the world, Sun Tianlong actually has no talent.

He has no special strength, so he rarely launches fatal attacks from the backhand position, because he knows that the power of the backhand attack cannot kill his opponent.

He doesn't have extreme speed, so he catches the ball in the backhand position with his backhand and the ball in the forehand position with his forehand. He never considers forcing himself to run to the other side of the ball like Lin Zijun did.

He didn't have an eagle eye, but he had fought too many opponents and practiced too many techniques. In the end, before anyone else made a move, he had already relied on the small signs before the move to figure out what the opponent was going to do, so he never

Don't be cheated, don't take spin.

He is neither fast enough nor heavy enough, nor can he turn enough, so he rarely kills people with one strike, and always uses combination punches to kill people.

But his coach Qin Huachang told him: "Even if you are proficient in all the techniques in the world, you must have one move to kill the opponent, otherwise you will not be able to become a top-notch player."

So the Dragons practiced killing the board with one move.

That's his forehand blast.

He always plans before making a move, so he often waits for the opponent to make a move first, and then exploits the opponent's flaws. Even if he occasionally needs to charge with a forehand, he will save his strength because he feels that the opponent can guess that he is going to charge, so

There is a possibility that the opponent will counterattack.

But when he really decides to kill him with a single blow, it's usually when he judges that his opponent has no follow-up moves.

Therefore, we rarely see Sun Tianlong take the initiative to charge with 12% of his strength, but once he does, 90% of the time he will kill the opponent.

Such as this moment.

After Hooker finished serving, he thought that Sun Tianlong might hit the baseline 70% of the time, lob the ball at a wide angle with 20%, and lob the last 10% of the time.

So he didn't have any mental preparation to speed up.

This situation, of course, cannot be regarded as being distracted in the professional arena. At best, it is called insufficient prediction of difficulty.

He really never expected that the Dragons, which had always been a stable team, would suddenly make a desperate charge.

He was beaten to death without even moving.

When the ball flew past him, he rolled his eyes belatedly, grinned, and trotted to pick up the ball.

2:0.

Sun Tianlong gets the right to serve.

Hook showed another difference in himself.

He spread his legs, squatted down, and then squatted down, squatting very deeply. His head had sunk below the table, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He looked like a big toad, and his movements were quite weird.

The audience burst into low laughter.

This has actually become Hook's signature move in the international arena, but every time it appears, the audience still finds it funny.

What's more, Hook also habitually blinked hard, turned his shoulders, tiptoed, grinned, and puffed his cheeks...

He makes a lot of small movements, as if he can't help it, and his whole person is in a state of constant motion, giving the impression that he has ADHD and can never calm down.

But neither Wang Chao nor Luo Jiu smiled, but looked very serious.

Because they both know very well that the lower they squat, the more stable their center of gravity will be, the faster they will move later, and the less likely they will lose their balance.

Keeping your eyes level with the tabletop can actually help Hooke best judge the precise height and spin of the opponent's ball.

That horizontal line is actually the best observation point on the table.

It's just that squatting to this point places too much load on the body and requires too much physical fitness, so no one has ever really done it.

Of course, Hook was able to do this not because anyone told him, but because he tried it out by his own intuition.

This man is a true all-around sports genius, not just a table tennis genius.

It is natural for Sun Tianlong to have a short underspin, because he is the number one short player in the world.

Hook didn't have a clear concept of technical restraint in his mind, and he couldn't clearly express the view that "never compete with Sun Tianlong", but his intuition was extremely sharp. When he saw this short backspin, he realized

Can't swing it short.

So he beat her on stage.

On the first ball, he made a mistake and lost a point, but he still had to play like this this time.

This time he succeeded.

Once this method of forcibly raising the difficulty coefficient is successful, the opponent will be extremely uncomfortable, because in this case, once the challenge is successful, the quality of the attack will be extremely high.

Sun Tianlong went to save the ball with his forehand and caught the ball high.

Hook directly charged with a forehand.

The landing point is very positive, still on the bottom line of Sun Tianlong's forehand.

The ball was so powerful that Sun Tianlong had no choice but to step back and draw a heavy circle.

So this ball formed a stalemate in the center.

Hook continued his charge.

Sun Tianlong did not retreat, stood firmly on the spot, and also made a forehand burst.

In these two rounds, both sides did not focus on pulling the ball, but focused more on shooting forward, hoping to increase the speed and power of the ball and directly end the game.

Hook then took a step forward and pulled the ball across the table.

Sun Tianlong's pupils shrank slightly. He made a trade-off within a tenth of a second and finally chose to still stand on the center stage.

He understood what Hook meant.

Hook took a step forward to engage in a stalemate with him on the stage. Because the ball speed and rhythm in the stalemate in the middle stage were too slow, Hook thought that no one could be beaten to death, so he wanted to play more extreme.

If Sun Tianlong also takes a step forward, it will become the most popular style of play among the new generation of players, not retreating from the stage, not turning sideways, competing for rhythm, speed, stage access rate, and backhand twisting.

But Sun Tianlong rejected Hu Ke's silent invitation.

Because he is already thirty-one years old and has waist injuries, leg injuries, and shoulder injuries. Most importantly, his nerve reaction speed and visual dynamic picture capturing ability have declined. If the speed is too fast, he will really

I won't be able to keep up.

Therefore, when Hook forced himself close to the table, he could only continue to maintain a distance of about 40 centimeters from the table to form a buffer area and reduce the power of Hook's attack.

But in this way, he directly fell into a disadvantageous situation.

If you retreat from the platform, you cannot retreat from the platform. Once the one who does not retreat from the platform changes the line and moves to both sides, the one who retreats from the platform will be tired of running.

Sure enough, Hook immediately changed the line in the next second.

Sun Tianlong took two steps across and successfully saved the ball.

Hook moved his body to the right and directly twisted the ball.

The speed is amazingly fast and the strength is amazingly strong. He is clearly a standard bully on the stage.

Sun Tianlong did not save the ball again, because he knew that his saving was in vain, so it was better to give up strategically and save energy.

The score became 2:1, and Hook recovered one point.

When the fight reached this point, the eyes of the foreign audience became brighter and brighter, while the hearts of the Chinese audience became more and more clenched.
