Geng Shuai served again, and he served a short backspin.
Because he knew very well in his heart that if he tried to seize the opportunity with a high throw again, he would definitely get Zhu Ding's attack in return.
Zhu Ding still acted very calmly. He did not make any unexpected eccentric movements, but steadily rubbed the ball back.
Geng Shuai Rub it back.
Zhu Ding Rub it back again.
Geng Shuai Rub it back.
Zhu Ding rubs it back again.
The two of them were fighting with the small ball on the table, and they were fighting for the most basic basic skills. It was like two swordsmen fighting. Neither one could find a weakness in the other, so neither one was willing to make the first move.
It was not until the seventh board that there was a low buzz in the audience. Zhu Ding suddenly made an action that he had never done before in front of others, and directed the ball directly to Geng Shuai's backhand baseline.
This is clearly a "detour".
"Wow!" Many people in the stands exclaimed at the same time.
It's not that this ball is so powerful, but no one would have thought that Zhu Ding would break the deadlock in this way.
The swipe has only been around for a few months, and most players are still not familiar with it, and they don't know what warnings there will be on the wrist, elbow, and forearm before making this action. So when the ball was thrown to the backhand baseline, Geng Shuai was obviously surprised.
In his judgment, the ball should not have been hit to that position.
He could only take a quick step back and gently pull the ball over.
Zhu Ding started without hesitation, took a step forward, swung the racket with his arm, and with a "pop" sound, he hit the ball hard.
This shot is not 100% powerful, but with Zhu Ding's physical strength, the speed and strength of this ball are already comparable to the 12-point punch of most Table Tennis First Division players.
Geng Shuai is also in excellent condition. He steps quickly, adjusts in place in an instant, and pulls through a forehand loop.
Zhu Ding took another half step back and pulled back in a backhand arc.
Geng Shuai pull again.
In the blink of an eye, the game changed from a short fight near the stage to a stalemate in the middle stage. The rhythm was so fast that it was dizzying. In just a few seconds, it actually exceeded ten rounds.
Wang Chao was slightly nervous at this moment.
He knows that players will have some very subtle moments on the field. These moments cannot be seen by outsiders, but they are crucial to both sides of the game. Although winning or losing is only one point, this momentum will affect at least the next five or six goals, or even more.
And this ball at this moment is the key ball.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a stalemate ball at the national team level.
Both sides had full strength, angle, and control over the ball. The ball was flying around, and several rounds passed in an instant. Finally, Zhu Ding found an excellent rhythm in advance during a wide range of runs, hit the ball hard, and made a twelve-point burst of strength.
The ball Geng Shuai couldn't hold it anymore. Even though his wrist was pressed down as much as possible when the racket came up, the ball still rushed up from the racket like a wild beast, flew high into the sky, then spun off the table and fell to the floor in the distance.
1:1, Zhu Ding pulled a goal back.
There was a frenzy in the audience, and the fans were cheering for their favorite Table Tennis First Division king, waiting for him to go on a killing spree like in the past.
The away fans headed by Luo Xiaoyu were also shouting crazily, trying to grab a seat from the overwhelming voices of the home audience.
In the eyes of the audience, the game was played with such enthusiasm at the beginning, and now it is 1:1. Obviously, it will be a close fight.
Wang Chao sighed silently.
Although only two goals had passed, he knew that this game was probably going to end early.
He could see that Brother Geng was playing fighting ball.
He could even see that Zhu Ding's second ball was actually calculated.
When Zhu Ding unexpectedly used a trick, he actually had a chance to win. He only needed to hit a burst and change lanes, and he was at least 80% sure to kill Geng Shuai with one board.
Although it is difficult to change lanes in that situation, it is not difficult to catch Zhu Ding.
But Zhu Ding just refused to fight like this.
He deliberately hit the ball straight just to make it easier for Geng Shuai to catch the ball, and then naturally turned the situation into a stalemate.
He did it on purpose.
First fight the short ball, then fight the stalemate ball, and finally solve the problem with one stroke based on the ability to adjust the body position and the speed of finding rhythm.
He told Geng Shuai through this short ball: No matter what you compare with, you are not as good as me.
"You're not even as good at learning as I am."
"Because you didn't learn the circling technique invented by your teammate, but I did."
Zhu Ding gets the right to serve.
He sent a short backspin.
Next, the two people continued to fight with each other, but neither side showed any flaws.
But this time Zhu Ding didn't wait any longer. Even if there was no flaw, he just went around the table and forced the short ball, which had almost no angle, to successfully pass the net.
Geng Shuai caught the ball, but was helplessly passive. Then Zhu Ding attacked continuously and penetrated Geng Shuai's defense on the third board.
2:1, Zhu Ding overtook the score.
For the fourth ball, Zhu Ding served Sneak Long Serve.
He played strangely today and seemed to work a lot on his serve and return.
In fact, as we all know, Zhu Ding is a player who has never paid much attention to serving. He belongs to the same type of players as Wu Li and Hu Buming. He believes that playing hard is about hard power, not evil ways, so he has always dominated the world with short underspin.
He Sneak Long Serve, Geng Shuai directly predicted it, attacked sideways, and hit hard.
This ball was aimed at scoring directly in the fight. Even Wang Chao thought that there was a high probability that it would be scored. But at the critical moment, Zhu Ding's reaction was inhumanly fast. He was lightning fast. He took half a step back, turned his body slightly to the side, and didn't even have time to unfold his big arms. He just swung his forearm, turned his wrist, drove the racket, adjusted the angle and position, and blocked Geng Shuai's confident charge.
Geng Shuai draws again, Zhu Ding takes two steps back and blocks again.
Geng Shuai continues to draw, Zhu Ding takes two steps back and continues to block.
By this time, Zhu Ding had already taken five steps out of the table, and when the ball returned to Geng Shuai, it had already reached the level of his chest. Geng Shuai had already adjusted his body shape and posture in place, and launched a twelve-point burst of power!
In the world of table tennis, the ball in this situation, even in international competitions, mostly means "have".
But this game was born to break convention.
Zhu Ding let out an extremely dull cry, like a beast roaring. The muscles in his arms bulged one by one, his legs were slightly bent, he lowered his waist and turned around, and stretched his arms forward with all his strength. It was a super long-distance forced reverse twist!
The ball crossed a huge parabola that was seven or eight meters long, and finally landed in front of Geng Shuai. It bounced up like thunder, drifting in both the horizontal and vertical directions at the same time. Geng Shuai took off the board and wanted to rush again, but it suddenly missed the ball.
"Wow!" The audience was in awe, and many people even stood up in excitement, shouting the name Zhu Ding loudly.
The score became 3:1.
Even Wang Chao felt his scalp was numb at this moment.
What he saw from this ball was naked demonstration and provocation.
Zhu Ding There is no need to hit the ball like this.
Even the Sneak Long Serve when he served looked like he was deliberately letting Geng Shuai anticipate and let Geng Shuai attack.
Because he knows how powerful Geng Shuai's attack power is.
Only in this super passive situation, by forcibly holding on to Geng Shuai's extremely powerful attack, can it be considered a direct breakthrough from Geng Shuai's strongest point.
What's the point of using the long to hit the short?
Only by using short strikes and long strikes, and still killing them, can the opponent truly have nothing to say.
The last ultra-long-distance backhand twist was more like a positive response to the few super balls in Wang Chao's past career.
"I don't have your exquisite touch, and I can't pull out super heavy balls that float like that, but I have a much stronger physique and strength than you, and I can pull out super heavy looping balls that you will never be able to pull out in your life!"
On the player bench, Wang Chao smiled slightly.
He felt that there was a fire hidden deep inside his body, which had been quietly ignited by Zhu Ding.
He used to be the most calm and calm person on the court, but today he was inexplicably a little irritable and couldn't sit still.
He was eager to appear quickly and respond to this naked provocation with action.
Geng Shuai's eyes are particularly focused.
Wang Chao can certainly see what he can see.
He felt slightly humiliated.
Because he was clearly standing in front of Zhu Ding, but Zhu Ding's thoughts seemed to be entirely on Wang Chao.
But Geng Shuai is a veteran, and he will not let this slight humiliation affect his mentality. He will only turn humiliation into motivation and work harder to score.
He continued to fight.
The fifth ball, Geng Shuai sent short backspin, Zhu Ding rubbed it back, Geng Shuai directly hit the ball in the table, the challenge was successful, but was blocked by Zhu Ding, Geng Shuai continued to charge with his forehand, and Zhu Ding continued to block. After three consecutive boards, Geng Shuai's excessive pursuit of offensive quality caused the ball to fly off the table, and the score became 4:1.
On the sixth ball, Geng Shuai continued to serve the ball with short backspin. There was no problem with this ball. However, Zhu Ding stepped forward and hit a very difficult straight ball, which went straight into Geng Shuai's backhand baseline. Geng Shuai was unable to respond and the ball flew past him.
The score became 5:1.
Then Zhu Ding served, still with short backspin. After Geng Shuai picked up the ball, Zhu Ding once again challenged the ball to the extreme. This time the challenge failed, and the score became 5:2.
The two sides fought extremely fiercely, so there were very few rounds, and the score climbed rapidly, from 5:2 to 10:3 in just three minutes.
Among the six balls in the middle, Geng Shuai only scored one point.
This point is due to Zhu Ding attacking too unreasonably and committing suicide.
As for the five points Geng Shuai lost, three points came from Zhu Ding's attack and two points came from Zhu Ding's defense.
Geng Shuai actually played without any problems.
Zhu Ding doesn't have any new ideas.
After that super backhand twist, he even played more concisely and simply than usual.
If you don't have a chance, wash it. If you have a chance, take it.
That's all.
But the scores speak for themselves.
Zhu Ding used its hard power to suppress Geng Shuai, who was in its prime at this moment, from all angles and aspects.
At this point, the first game only lasted six minutes, but all the spectators in the stands were already completely excited.
They saw Zhu Ding's arrogant appearance.
Beat him, but he won't be killed.
Block, can't block.
This is Zhu Ding's usual appearance when he beat everyone at Table Tennis First Division in the past few years.
In previous years, Zhu Ding always seemed a little powerless when facing Geng Shuai in the first game, but today the audience found that Zhu Ding seemed to be winning the first game.
The former God of Openings seems to be no different from the other defeated generals under his command.
"It's too fierce, it's too fierce. This is the real Table Tennis First Division Great Demon King. This is the real terrifying strength!"
In the live broadcast room, Brother Da Ma was shouting, looking excited and excited. "After so many years, Great Demon King is still as strong as ever!"
Only Wang Chao knows that this is by no means "business as usual". Today's Zhu Ding is different from other times.
Wang Chao once studied many videos of Zhu Ding, but any game he saw in the video was not as good as the one in front of him.
Did Zhu Ding suddenly evolve, or did Zhu Ding remain true to itself for so many years?
Wang Chao closed his eyes and copied a table out of thin air in his mind. He was standing on this side of the table, and Zhu Ding was standing on the other side of the table. On Zhu Ding's side of the table, there were more than a dozen marked red dots, evenly distributed inside and outside the table, dotted.
These are the places Luo Jiu told him yesterday. It is said that hitting the ball in these places will have a miraculous effect on Zhu Ding.
Wang Chao recalled all the landing points, and planned to make good use of these landing points if he encounters them later.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would really lose.
After traveling to this world, he has never had this kind of worry about "possibly losing".
At this time, the audience cheered loudly again, but Zhu Ding easily won the first game with a score of 11:3.
"This won't work. I usually win the first round. Geng Shuai has been practicing so diligently recently. Why did he score such a big score in the first round?"
Fan Xiaoxian murmured to himself, "It seems that we need to work harder in the next few rounds..."
She didn't know yet that the score in this game was already the best score Geng Shuai could get based on his strength.
Fifteen minutes later, the first game ended, Zhu Ding 3:0 defeated Geng Shuai.
The score of the second game was 11:2, and the score of the third game was 11:1. Geng Shuai played the whole game and only scored 6 points in total.
The reason is that Zhu Ding did not go all out in the first game. Many of his balls were of a performance nature. They were not performed for Geng Shuai, let alone the audience outside the court, but performed for Wang Chao.
In order to show his invincibility, he let Geng Shuai score one more point.
In the last two games, Geng Shuai had basically tried all the methods, and finally found that they were all ineffective, so the resistance became weaker and weaker.
As for why there is no 11:0?
Maybe it's because Zhu Ding still has a lingering affection for Brother Geng that lasted for six years...
An old friend in the comment area today asked me if I could finish Poseidon years ago. I just want to say, haha, you are too young. Playing against Poseidon is only five games. Except for the singles game of Lu Jia, in which other game can we not play two or three chapters? What's more, there is also a king vs. king highlight.
So, everyone celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, hahaha.
