In the national team training base, facing this Sneak Long Serve, Bai Feng used the Penhold Backhand Loop that he is famous for.
His shoulders, arms and wrists exerted force at the same time. At this moment, veins appeared on his wrists, and he pulled back the long ball sneaked by Wang Chao.
This ball is extremely powerful, because Wang Chao's serve was completely expected by him.
He was ready to attack, and even more angry.
This "anger" is the "anger" why Wang Chao chose him as his opponent.
Do you, a disciple of the Zhu family, really think that I, Wang Clan, have no one?
Of course, Bai Feng felt that he had taken the initiative.
He moved a step to the left in advance, turned slightly sideways, and waited for the Wang Chao ball to come back before he would directly score with a forehand.
The reason why people continue to choose the straight paddle even when its weaknesses are so prominent is precisely because the holding posture of the straight paddle allows the explosive power of the forehand paddle to be at least 30% higher than that of the horizontal paddle.
At the same time, the straight paddle has a tighter grip and is more similar to the standard posture of Chinese people holding chopsticks. Therefore, with this kind of holding, the fineness of the small ball in the table is far better than that of the horizontal paddle.
Bai Feng has thought about it, this board is going to explode, and it needs to change to a straight line at a large angle. At the same time, the landing point of this ball must be on the bottom line corner of Wang Chao's right hand table.
With his strength, he can be accurate to this level.
Once this is done, Wang Chao will definitely be penetrated.
But Wang Chao's catch was much easier than Bai Feng expected.
Facing this Penhold Backhand Loop, who was at least nine points strong, Wang Chao simply took a half step back, waved his arm, and pulled the ball back without any panic, seemingly as a matter of course.
It's not a high lob, but a heavy arc.
No one around the table spoke, but many people's eyes lit up.
The more ordinary the ball looks, the more skill it shows. Everyone can see how high the quality of Bai Feng's attack is, and the fact that Wang Chao can pull it back so lightly can only mean one thing: Wang Chao's hard power has reached this position.
Except for a very few people such as Sun Tianlong, all the players knew clearly that if they encountered this ball, they would not be able to pull it off like this.
Either he underestimated and went too high, or he pressed too hard and hit the net, or he was caught off guard and couldn't even touch the ball.
Only those who have long been accustomed to attacks of this quality and have incomparable basic skills can pull the ball back just right.
Bai Feng was a little surprised, but he didn't panic. He still maintained his original sideways posture, but because the ball didn't rise as high as expected, he had to temporarily adjust the angle. It was still a forehand blast with extreme power, still changing the line, and hitting the corner of the bottom line of the table on the right hand side of Wang Chao.
This style of play is called leaving no room for retreat. Because the force is too strong and the line changes too quickly, the requirements on the arms and wrists are extremely high. Once it is hit, it is basically difficult for anyone to block it.
With a "pop" sound, the ball was violently pulled back.
Bai Feng demonstrated the unique advantage of straight-ball players in controlling the ball. He was clearly facing an impeccable heavy arc, and it was difficult for others to successfully pass it, but he just hit the ball to where he wanted.
Seeing this ball, even Coach Wang Lu secretly admired it in his heart, because what he admires most is control, and this ball of Bai Feng seems to be about explosion, but in fact the essence is the word "control".
Under the premise of such violent exertion, there can still be such precise lines and landing points. This is the best way to express "control".
But Wang Chao happened to catch it again.
Wang Chao took the position one step ahead, took the shot one step ahead, and caught the ball with a seemingly simple backhand.
He does not pursue the quality of his return, but only pursues the chance of getting on the court, putting on an obvious defensive posture.
Bai Feng, however, was slightly out of control due to two consecutive extreme exertions and the difficulty of the shot.
But at this moment, Bai Feng still refused to make any transition. Instead, his body stopped suddenly, took two steps back, rounded his arms, and swung the board hard.
This time I really used my full strength and didn't hold anything back.
But after all, he took two steps back. The ball was already more than one meter out, and the depth between him and Wang Chao also increased. Therefore, even if the ball was pulled with such force, it was still not too explosive after being pulled. Wang Chao simply pulled the ball and sent the ball over.
Bai Feng can no longer hold on.
He hit three consecutive boards, each one heavier than the last, and each one farther from the table than the last. By now, his steps were scattered. Seeing that Wang Chao's ball was neither too fast nor too fast, it simply hit him with a forehand angle, but he could no longer catch it.
The ball fell to the ground, and Qin Huachang immediately shouted, "1:0, Wang Chao is in the lead."
At this moment, there were not many praises or comments around, but everyone looked a little weird.
Because this ball was quite anticlimactic. There was so much movement in front of it, but it failed to score. In the end, it was simply lobbed at a wide angle, and there was no sign of high quality at all, so it was scored inexplicably.
Bai Feng's face was slightly red, he picked up the ball, threw it to Wang Chao, and said in a deep voice, "Come again."
Wang Chao serves, still Sneak Long Serve.
Bai Feng is still an extremely vicious Penhold Backhand Loop.
It looked like the two of them were recreating the two Sneak Long Serves when Dragon Team played Luo Jiu yesterday.
But Luo Jiu's two shots were scored directly, but Bai Feng had a problem here.
His Penhold Backhand Loop was blocked again, and then he switched to a forehand charge, but it was still blocked. In the third round, Bai Feng did not dare to use force anymore. He tried hard to adjust his steps and pulled a transitional high-hanging arc, trying to slow down.
But Wang Chao refused to slow down, and directly turned from defense to offense, hitting Bai Feng's backhand with a hard blow.
Bai Feng can only continue to fight horizontally.
Wang Chao draws again.
Bai Feng hits again.
The two seemed to have entered a stalemate stage, but in fact Wang Chao always had the initiative. Every ball he hit was chasing Bai Feng's body, making Bai Feng unable to open his arms when he hit backhand horizontally, so he could not exert force freely and was always suppressed.
After another two rounds, Wang Chao changed to a forehand baseline, then a backhand baseline, and then hit a chasing ball. Finally, the long ball became a short ball, directly hitting the small triangle area on the right hand side of the table.
This move killed Bai Feng. Bai Feng tried hard to save it, but even if he threw the racket, it didn't hit the small silver ball that just flew over the net and rolled down from the side.
Two balls passed, Wang Chao led 2:0, and there were low discussions around the table.
Some people have understood it, while others are still confused. Wang Lu and Cai Guodong looked at each other and nodded slightly.
He Jingping and Zhu Zeshi looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Today's game seems to be a test of Wang Chao, but in fact, it is not just a way to beat Bai Feng?
Bai Feng has weaknesses, and in the eyes of the coaches, there are quite a few. Therefore, although Bai Feng has been one of the five main players over the years, his performance has never been stable enough.
When he plays well, he can hit super shots that amaze the world.
When he doesn't play well, he dares to lose to anyone.
Bai Feng is the kind of player with a very high upper limit but an extremely low lower limit. His winning or losing largely depends on whether his opponent can grasp his weaknesses and then take advantage of them perfectly.
In comparison, Lin Li is exactly the opposite of Bai Feng. Lin Li is the kind of player whose lower limit is stable but whose upper limit is insufficient.
Therefore, in the view of the coaching staff, Bai Feng is more valuable for training.
But the premise is that Bai Feng must learn a lesson, figure it out on his own, and then enlighten himself. If he is satisfied with his status as one of the top five players and continues to play like he is now, then in two years he will gradually become marginalized.
After all, what every generation of Huaping needs is a leader who can dominate the world, not a time bomb that works sometimes.
At this time Bai Feng gets the right to serve.
He also serves Sneak Long Serve.
But this ball was perfectly predicted by Wang Chao, who directly attacked sideways.
Wang Chao's attack is different from Bai Feng's. He does not use extreme force. Instead, he likes to use multiple punches and various changes to force the opponent out of the gap.
This style of play does not seem to be decisive and domineering, but it also has a dazzling gorgeousness.
If I must make a metaphor, Bai Feng is like Cheng Yaojin holding an axe. Opening Three Axe Slashes, there are very few people in the world who can stop it.
But Wang Chao is Zhao Zilong with a white horse and a silver gun. With the long gun in his hand, there are endless changes. There is always one gun that can stab you to death.
At this time, Wang Chao rushed to attack, and Bai Feng immediately retreated and pulled back without saying a word. He moved very fast, and this counter pull was even higher than Wang Chao's attack quality.
But since Wang Chao has the first mover advantage, he will naturally not be in a hurry at this moment. He steadily adjusts his steps and pulls the ball back again.
This time, it was truly a balance of power situation.
Then Bai Feng started to exert force.
In the first two balls, he was hit defensively by Wang Chao because he hit the ball too hard, but he felt that this was not a strategic problem, it was simply that his ball was not hit hard enough.
Therefore, he has to be more ruthless.
He crouched down and twisted his waist again, charging forward with all his strength.
Wang Chao pulled the ball back steadily.
Bai Feng exploded again.
Wang Chao pulls the ball back again.
At this time, the quality of Wang Chao's return was actually much lower than at the beginning, because the power of the explosive charge of the country's main players was far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even though Wang Chao was prepared, it was still a bit overwhelming.
But the problem is that the imbalance of Bai Feng is even more serious.
He made a serious mistake in his third charge and hit an anti-aircraft gun. Then he stumbled and almost hit the table. Fortunately, he propped his racket on the ground at the last moment, preventing serious consequences.
But after standing up again, Bai Feng's face turned slightly red.
He felt very embarrassed, because today he wanted to give Wang Chao a nice showdown, but accidents happened one after another, and now he almost made a big embarrassment.
He took a deep breath, tried to adjust his emotions, and not let his anger and impatience affect his performance. Then he picked up the ball again and placed it gently on the table.
This time he thought for a long time, and the ball kept bouncing on the table, making a ping-ping-pong-pong sound.
In fact, he is now suspected of "delaying the game", but no one present urged him.
Although Qin Huachang just returned to the base today, he has a delicate heart. As early as after playing the first two balls and seeing Bai Feng's state, he had already guessed Cai Guodong's intention.
In this case, when Bai Feng starts thinking, he will naturally not interrupt.
All coaches hope Bai Feng can think more.
But then, Bai Feng sent another Sneak Long Serve.
As soon as the ball was served, Wang Lu shook his head slightly, with a ray of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
But Bai Feng doesn't know all this.
What he was thinking was, "Wang Chao's playing style is exactly as I guessed yesterday. It is very stable and structured, very similar to Dragon Team. In this case, facing me, Sneak Long Serve, he should continue to stalemate with me like the ball just now. He wants to take advantage of my eagerness to win, playing slow with me and beating fast with softness."
Bai Feng is not stupid. In other words, the IQ of any national-level player must be higher than that of normal people. Their so-called "likes to calculate" and "dislikes to calculate" are relative. If you face ordinary people, they can make you want to die.
So Bai Feng had forcibly calmed down at this time, and he planned to fight Wang Chao slowly.
Isn't it better than patience? Can I just treat you like a chipper?
He Sneak Long Serve didn't really want to sneak attack, but felt that Wang Chao's response was the same as the previous ball. In this case, he would use exactly the same method to respond to Wang Chao's ball.
Only in this way can the tightness in his chest be released.
But he didn't expect that as soon as the ball was served, Wang Chao suddenly turned sideways, and the magnitude of the movement shocked Bai Feng.
Wang Chao took a step forward, his upper body and arms already inserted into the table.
He didn't want to pull out the billiard ball, but directly hit it in the table, pinpointing the rising period after Bai Feng's serve hit the table, and directly forced the ball.
It's this head-up shot that's being played.
This kind of ball was also played by Dragon Team in the final of Asian Cup yesterday.
This was actually a completely reckless fighting ball.
Wang Chao, who usually prefers to be reserved and quiet, suddenly burst out with a strong murderous aura at this moment!
This ball was completely unexpected by Bai Feng, so much so that Bai Feng didn't even move much, the ball flew out right under his nose.
"Wow!" There was finally a chorus of praise from all around the table.
No one expected that Wang Chao would lead 4:0 until this round.
There are only two updates today. The game will be played tomorrow.
I've saved up some manuscripts and will have a recommendation in two days.
