At this moment, the time came to 1:58, and the game was about to start. Brother Da Ma also changed the topic in time and began to warm up before the game.
Despite the barrage, some people are still asking: What happened to the last dragon?
But Brother Da Ma refused to say anything, as if he was avoiding some taboos. However, after trying to avoid it a few times, he discovered that someone was asking for the gift directly. In desperation, he simply said a few words: "The last dragon, you don't know even if I told you... Okay, okay. Well, I'll tell you everything I can tell you. This person's name is Fan Pingnan. He originally passed the test, but then he had an accident during practice and his legs were paralyzed, so he quit the table tennis world. As for now, I don't know where he went."
Brother Da Ma didn't want to talk about it, but the audience was very excited, always feeling that there must be something fishy in it.
Someone asked who the original head coach of Fan Pingnan was.
Others asked whether Fan Pingnan's injury was related to the head coach.
However, this time, no matter how they tried to make friends or even exchange gifts, Brother Da Ma refused to say anything more.
In a few minutes, the game will begin, and the conversation about the six dragons will officially end.
Game 1, Geng Shuai vs Yang Yingzi.
Yang Yingzi is 29 years old this year. He is one of the players from the group of Dragon Team and Xiao Fei. His talent cannot be said to be bad, but he does not stand out in Huaping where there are so many talents.
But one advantage of this man is that he is tough enough. He has been playing for many years, and his strength has slowly accumulated bit by bit. He initially played against Table Tennis Super League. As he grew older, he could no longer compete with the younger talents, so he was forced to switch to Table Tennis First Division. He played against Table Tennis Super League for many years.
He is not a genius, but he is more stable and has solid basic skills.
Facing Geng Shuai, Yang Yingzi knew that he would lose, but he did not give up.
He knew that Geng Shuai had been badly neglected over the years and his mental strength was very poor.
He also knew that Geng Shuai has become very active since returning from treatment. In the game against Jingyue Bay three days ago, he even showed a trace of Six Little Dragons's style.
He could guess that Geng Shuai definitely wanted to score two points.
Therefore, he must use all means to consume Geng Shuai's mental power.
Bingcheng Pharmaceutical has been a regular in the playoffs over the years, but this year the situation is a bit grim.
First of all, Jingyue Bay, an old rival, was originally supposed to be suppressed by Bingcheng Pharmaceutical, but in the past two years, it has recruited more troops and grown stronger. The two sides played against each other a few days ago, and Jingyue Bay won 3:2. The outside world was not surprised by this, but Bingcheng Pharmaceutical himself felt that it was an upset.
Next is the rise of the Xiangshui River and Spade Q. These two teams are coming fiercely and are both heading for the playoffs.
Bingcheng Pharmaceutical has no ambitions. He always aims to "guaranteed 4 points and competes for 3 points" every year, and most of the time he can achieve his goal. But now he sees that he has lost even a playoff spot. How can this be done?
Therefore, the three veterans have been practicing very hard these days, almost day and night, squeezing their bodies to the limit. They have only one belief: losing to Poseidon is okay, but losing to Spade Q is definitely not okay.
So standing on the court at this moment, Yang Yingzi, who practiced until 10 o'clock last night, felt a little tired.
Of course, this trace of fatigue is not enough to affect his state, but it can help him concentrate better.
The referee came on stage and both sides guessed coins. In the end, Yang Yingzi won the right to serve.
He started with a regular short backspin, and then switched to a regular game with Geng Shuai. In the end, in the fifth round, Geng Shuai took the initiative and beat him to death.
He sent Sneak Long Serve again, but this time Geng Shuai directly attacked sideways and killed him with a blow.
Then Geng Shuai served, a short backspin and a high throw, all scored.
The score reached 4:0 in just one and a half minutes.
Everyone can see that Geng Shuai is in excellent condition. He plays the ball neatly and neatly without any sloppiness. He even serves without much thought when he takes the initiative.
Obviously, Geng Shuai is racing for time.
He wanted to defeat Yang Yingzi in the shortest time and in the most effortless way. If possible, he hoped it would be 33:0.
Because of this, he could have enough mental energy to play his second doubles game.
What Brother Geng said during training three days ago was not a joke. These days, he beat Tian Zhengguang so hard that he almost felt a shadow. Lu Jia and Gao Ming looked on and felt lucky.
"Fortunately, I'm not the one doing the training..."
The right to serve returned to Yang Yingzi, and he finally made a decision.
He wanted to try the first four balls. If Geng Shuai was not that strong, he hoped to deal with Geng Shuai in a regular way to consume Geng Shuai's mental power.
But today's Geng Shuai was too fierce. After Yang Yingzi tried it, he was convinced that he couldn't hold it back.
Compared with newcomers, the biggest advantage of veterans is that they are self-aware and will never be reckless. No matter how powerful the opponent they face, they will choose to play in the most rational way. Even if they play ugly, it will not affect their mentality.
Yang Yingzi decided to lob the ball.
Although when facing Geng Shuai, lobbing will definitely attract a lot of criticism.
For example, Niu Linjun has been scolded so much that he dare not go online recently.
But Yang Yingzi still chose to do this because he wanted to win today.
He lifted the ball high.
This time, Spade Q's players were very quiet, and no one in the audience even expressed surprise.
Because this is what everyone expected.
In the battle between Spade Q and Bingcheng Pharmaceutical, in a sense, neither side actually had many choices.
Spade Q Due to the athlete classification system, Geng Shuai must be ordered.
And Bingcheng Pharmaceutical, although the three members are all Class A Athlete, but in order not to destroy the invincible doubles of Liu Qiwen and Ma Hui, Yang Yingzi must also play a single.
So the two sides are actually playing a bright card, and the only slight change is the order of appearance in the fourth and fifth games.
The first three games are doomed.
Therefore, the real key to victory is not in arranging troops, but in how to win a losing battle.
If Yang Yingzi wants to beat Geng Shuai, what else can he do besides lob the ball?
You know what I want to do, and I know you know it, so whether it works or not depends entirely on the performance on the spot.
Geng Shuai faced this high ball without any hesitation, and directly smashed it to death.
Yang Yingzi also didn't hesitate at all and continued to hit the high ball.
Then he was beaten to death by Geng Shuai.
The score came to 6:0.
Geng Shuai serve, regular short backspin.
This serve is actually very particular.
If he serves a high throw, depending on his serving level and Yang Yingzi's receiving level, the ball will inevitably be twisted into a long ball, and then Geng Shuai can directly hit the board, either pick it up, circle it, or shoot it directly.
Therefore, once he throws the ball high, Yang Yingzi has no choice. Eighty percent of the time he chooses to continue to throw the ball high.
But his short backspin gave Yang Yingzi another possibility.
"Anyway, you just failed to hit two high balls. Now I'll give you a chance to rub the ball. Let's go back to the normal style of play, okay?"
Yang Yingzi's answer is: No.
He caught the ball with his racket and lifted the very easy ball to a height of more than three meters, all the way to the bottom line of the table on Geng Shuai's side.
Geng Shuai was naturally not polite to him. He raised his racket, bounced lightly, and dunked hard again.
7:0.
Geng Shuai sent another short backspin.
This is to continue to give Yang Yingzi a chance.
"I've proven that lobbing doesn't work for me. If you want, you can go back to your normal style now."
But Yang Yingzi didn't blink an eyelid, raised the ball high without saying a word, and then quickly retreated, assuming a posture to welcome Geng Shuai's dunk.
Geng Shuai was naturally not polite to him and beat him to death with another heavy dunk.
In fact, for a heavy smash like this that is fed into the mouth, as long as the player does not cause any problems, at most one out of ten smashes will be caught.
Geng Shuai is a monster with far more strength than ordinary players. His smash can directly hit the ball into the audience outside the backstop. This is a smash that is theoretically impossible to catch.
8:0.
The right to serve returned to Yang Yingzi.
This game was played extremely fast, and only three minutes have passed until now. For many spectators, they have not even warmed up their buttocks, the prepared banners have not been opened, and the first training slogan has not even started to be shouted.
"Viewers, have you noticed something?" Brother Da Ma reminded everyone in the live broadcast room, "Until now, Yang Yingzi has not scored a single point. If he continues to hit high balls, he may even have his head shaved."
For any player, shaving his head is considered a shame. Otherwise, in the game between Spade Q and Osmanthus Fragrance in early August, why would Yang Chi be struggling so hard?
But Yang Yingzi seemed not to care about this. He had the ball in his hand and let it go with another high ball.
Beaten to death by Geng Shuai again.
9:0.
"It's the last chance. If this ball doesn't score again, based on Geng Shuai's state, Yang Yingzi probably won't have a chance to score when he serves." Brother Da Ma was a little nervous. "If it were me, even if I didn't serve short backspin, I would still take a gamble and try to steal a long ball."
But Yang Yingzi still shot a high ball.
Still beaten to death by Geng Shuai.
In fact, Yang Yingzi's performance was very calm from beginning to end. He served the ball without hesitation.
As expected, on the 11th ball, Geng Shuai directly served and attacked, killing Yang Yingzi with one shot.
The score of the first game was finally locked at 11:0.
In today's strong confrontation, in the first game of the first game, in just four minutes, he hit a bald head!
"Awesome!"
At the contestants' table, Wang Chao expressed his sincere admiration.
"This is the veteran..."
Anyone with a little knowledge of this game can understand it, so Lu Jia, who rarely expresses his opinions, couldn't help but sigh, "He definitely wouldn't shave his head when he played normally, but he definitely couldn't win, so he just risked it and played three games. Let's play golf to see if we can bring out Brother Geng's inner demon... If he can, he will be the biggest contributor to Bingcheng Pharmaceutical's victory today, and if he cannot, he will be the biggest shame on the field today."
It's a big gamble.
The odds of winning a bet will never exceed 40 percent.
But Yang Yingzi took the gamble without hesitation.
Even if he might be infamous for being bald and ridiculed by the media.
Because he only cares about the final outcome and doesn't care whether the scene looks good or not.
Fan Xiaoxian couldn't help but ask, "Isn't he afraid that his inner demon will be beaten out and affect the second round of the competition?"
"So, these are the veterans." Wang Chao said with a bit of admiration in his tone, "Sometimes, you will feel that they are more eager to win than the young people, because even if they fight until the last minute, they will not collapse, let alone give up."
"But sometimes, you feel that they have no desire to win, because even if they have their heads shaved, they still talk and laugh after coming down, doing whatever they have to do, and it will never affect their performance in the next game. Playing is not like chasing a dream, but more like checking in at work."
