Lin Zijun, 18 years old this year, born Taiwan Province Yilan County, is a left-handed horizontal shot player with double-sided loop play. He is a young genius. He is hailed as a supernova on the island by the Bay Island Table Tennis Association.
This person has emerged since the fifth grade of elementary school. He has won five singles championships in all Bay Island events for five consecutive years, and won the Men's Singles championship in the East Asian Youth Championship that year.
Subsequently, he won the third place Men's Singles in the u15 group of the Asian Youth Championship.
Also in the same year, he was recruited by the Taiwan Province team and officially became the main player of the provincial team.
Last year, he defeated Zhuang Huishen, a 38-year-old veteran who has been ranked number one in the Bay Island head-on in the provincial competition, making the entire Bay Island table tennis world exclaim: A new king has risen!
In the first half of this year, he won the first place in the internal cycle competition of Taiwan Province team with a complete victory record, once again proving that the new Bay Island brother has emerged.
However, until now, he had not participated in any international competition.
He is Bay Island's most amazing newcomer in the past ten years. The head coach of the Bay Island table tennis team, Jiang Peirong, is not willing to let him enter the world competition silently, but wants to help him find the best opportunity to make him famous and soar to the sky!
In the end, Jiang Peirong chose the Kangaroo Country stop of the World Tour at the end of September this year.
Before he made this choice, Chinese Table Tennis Association had already announced the list of national team players participating in the Kangaroo Country competition half a month in advance.
In other words, Jiang Peirong knew that Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu were coming, but he still chose to let Lin Zijun appear at this time.
This is both self-confidence and calculation. If Lin Zijun can be played, it will naturally shock the world and become famous in one battle. But if it cannot be played, it will not be embarrassing to lose to the main players of China.
And if they lose to the unknown player non-Chinese associations, then Jiang Peirong may consider letting Lin Zijun shrink back to Bay Island and practice hard for another year.
The fact is that Lin Zijun broke through all the way from the qualifying round and defeated many veterans, including a Mesozoic player from the Chinese first team.
In the end, he reached the semi-finals and stood in front of Luo Jiu.
The other semi-final was between Sun Tianlong and a certain Swedish player. There was no suspense in this match. Even the Swede himself said, "It's 80% luck that I got here because my draw was pretty good. Almost all the top players were eliminated by others. Therefore, I have no regrets about meeting Dragon Team here."
Luo Jiu lost the duel with Lin Zijun 4:2.
He lost two games first and was extremely uncomfortable with Lin Zijun's playing style, because Lin Zijun's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye.
At the same time, Lin Zijun has the world's top backhand technology. His backhand twist is extremely fast, the landing point is extremely accurate, the line is tricky, the range of movement is very small, and it is quite difficult to judge.
After losing two games, Luo Jiu finally figured out the weaknesses of Lin Zijun.
To be precise, it should be called "relative weak point".
Because a truly world-class player has no obvious weaknesses, but not all of his skill sets can be strengths. There must be strengths and weaknesses, so the one that is weak becomes a weakness that is not a weakness.
Lin Zijun's weakness is that he is too thin, resulting in insufficient absolute strength, and his forehand thrust is not strong enough to form a fatal kill. At the same time, his personality is too introverted, and he does not have any shouting or cheering when playing. This is not conducive to players opening themselves up and releasing their state.
In other words, the Lin Zijun in September is actually not a fully developed Lin Zijun.
He has even more terrifying potential that needs to be developed.
Luo Jiu tried to break through the weakness of Lin Zijun and successfully regained the third game.
But Lin Zijun quickly changed his tactics and also found the weakness of Luo Jiu, reversing the fourth game.
In the fifth game, Luo Jiu changed again. After getting familiar with Lin Zijun's left-hand twist, he took the initiative to feed Lin Zijun's left-hand ball and tried to solve the problem by predicting the ball back. However, after playing a good half of the game, Lin Zijun quickly adjusted and started various weird line changes, destroying Luo Jiu's prediction.
The game was finally tied at 10:10. At the critical moment, Luo Jiu showed his experience as the main veteran of the national table tennis team. He scored directly with Sneak Long Serve. Then he guessed that the arrogant Lin Zijun would definitely counter Sneak Long Serve with a revenge, so he directly predicted it, attacked sideways and scored, and won the fifth game.
In the sixth game, Lin Zijun played more and more smartly, and he aimed at the backhand position of Luo Jiu.
Luo Jiu's backhand rubber change is known to the world, but there are still different opinions on the effectiveness of his backhand raw rubber. Only Luo Jiu knows that his change of rubber was successful because he solved the most fatal connection problem.
What he hasn't been able to solve yet is the bounce problem of the backhand rubber.
To put it simply, he has not yet mastered his flick. After all, this is a completely different and unpopular technique from the loop. He also needs more precise muscle memory and faster conditioned reflexes.
His forehand is "spin" and his backhand is "fast". This is actually scary, but it is also difficult to combine.
He was walking on a well-established road, but his walking shoes had not yet been completely mended.
And Lin Zijun seized on his slight flaw, attacked his backhand position, forced Luo Jiu to bounce, then turned back, used a reverse loop to force Luo Jiu to retreat, and then used a line change to resolve the battle.
Every ball he throws is a combination of punches, without any inexplicable loose moves, showing an astonishingly high level of golf intelligence.
Luo Jiu There is nothing you can do about it.
Lin Zijun showed too much control. All the preset tactical ideas were basically achieved, and the accuracy of the landing point was even more amazing. Luo Jiu knew that Lin Zijun was going to fight like this, but he could only carry it hard.
He hoped that he could rely on his basic skills to prevent Lin Zijun from making mistakes, but Lin Zijun's error rate was very, very low.
So in the sixth game, he finally lost 5:11. The scene in the last game was quite embarrassing, and he almost failed.
His undeveloped left hand was completely penetrated.
After the game, Lin Zijun advanced to the finals and faced Sun Tianlong, and the world table tennis world was completely blown away by this game!
"Taiwan Island supernova shows off his kingly style!""
"The real opponent of Chinese men's table tennis is here!""
"After twenty years of silence, Bay Island finally emerges as a master tactician"
"Bay Island has Lin Zijun, Sakura Country has Zhang Benkuang, who does China have?""
"Luo Jiu is still glorious despite defeat"
"Luo Jiu lost again, but this time it was excusable"
"The provincial team backfires on the national team, how does Cai Guodong break the situation?""
Titles like this are endless. Even the International Table Tennis Federation official issued an article praising Lin Zijun just because he played so amazingly. What he showed was not only an endless stream of advanced technologies, but also a variety of tactics. This aspect of tactics is lacking in most world-class players.
Even in the national table tennis, it is now recognized that only Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu can be regarded as high-intelligence tactical styles, while Xiao Fei, Bai Feng, and Lin Li are all hard-power players.
Even Luo Jiu, who lost, did not face much criticism after the game, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that the game between him and Lin Zijun was already the highest quality bo7 between Huaping and non-Chinese associations this year.
And Luo Jiu, a player who had lost his armor in the previous two tournaments, showed a level of performance in this battle that was almost as good as his double-sided loop ball in his heyday.
The above stories all happened at two o'clock this afternoon.
And at 7:30 tonight, that is, when Wang Chao and others were dragged by Jingyue Bay to drink, the finals between Lin Zijun and Sun Tianlong had already been played.
Sun Tianlong, who has not lost a game in the past two months, finally broke his undefeated streak today.
He defeated Lin Zijun 4:1 and won the Kangaroo Country championship.
But the world table tennis world has no feeling about this, because Dragon Team winning is a very numb thing.
They were just exclaiming: Lin Zijun is really strong!
Yes, in the current invincible state of Sun Tianlong, it is terrifying for Lin Zijun to win a game.
With his Super Speed and super strong backhand, even Dragon Team found it difficult, and even Lin Zijun scored five points in a row when they tested each other in the first game.
But Dragon Team is, after all, Dragon Team, the legendary hexagonal warrior and a god-like man. He found the weakness of Lin Zijun in the shortest possible time, formulated strict targeted tactics, and used his impeccable execution ability to kill the possibility of Lin Zijun's upset.
Lin Zijun led 5:0 in the first game, but lost 11:5 in the end.
In the second and third games, Lin Zijun was completely unable to fight back and was beaten by Sun Tianlong.
In the fourth game, Lin Zijun began to fight fiercely.
His fighting had an astonishing success rate, and the quality of the fighting ball was even more astonishing. Dragon Team wanted to be sure, but after exhausting all means, he still couldn't stop him, and he abruptly snatched the game back at 11:9.
Then Dragon Team really went crazy!
Dragon Team begins to fight back!
The game entered garbage time in the fifth game. Lin Zijun was completely fooled by Dragon Team, and was hastily surrendered at 11:2.
But he wasn't depressed.
Because he made an outstanding debut in the World Championships, not only winning a silver medal, but also setting a new record for the long-sluggish Bay Island table tennis world in the past ten years, the best result in the World Championships.
It's true: no one asked about him in sports school for ten years, and he becomes famous all over the world in one battle!
Brothers, I would like to take the liberty to ask you, if you are rich, can you give me a dollar so that I can speak confidently and express my gratitude at the end of the chapter, otherwise I always feel that I have fallen out of favor. It was quite lively when it first came on the shelves. Why is it so cold now and so few pommel horses? Is this the cruel truth after the work is put on the shelves? lost ing
