Wang Chao This game is naturally calculated.

The first premise for him to choose Bai Feng is because Bai Feng has the least number of clean sheets among the five main players.

This shows that Bai Feng is a slow player. In the first game, his strength could not be fully utilized to 100%.

In addition, it is also because Bai Feng is the youngest.

Although youth means a stronger body, it also means being more energetic, impulsive, irritable, and less calm.

A veteran like Xiao Fei, Wang Chao dares to conclude that as long as his hard power is weaker than Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei will be able to slowly kill himself in the simplest and most simple way, without giving himself any chance to play tricks.

The quality of Lin Li's ball is too high. Before the game, Wang Chao was not sure where his current strength was. If he couldn't stop Lin Li's heavy artillery by then, it would be embarrassing. All plans would be unable to proceed because he could not catch the ball.

So choosing Bai Feng is inevitable.

But he actually has no confidence at all in defeating Bai Feng. He has to watch and take every step he takes.

At first he wasn't sure whether Bai Feng had been notified in advance.

But when he politely said the word "offended", Bai Feng's answer was too firm and his fighting spirit was too obvious, which made Wang Chao understand immediately.

Bai Feng must have prepared in advance, and even couldn't wait to give himself a chance.

In this case, Bai Feng's decision to let himself serve first was not simply arrogant, but had other motives.

Maybe some national team players from other countries are idiots, but in Chinese National Table Tennis Team, everyone is definitely a genius.

Bai Feng asked me to serve first. What does he want to do?

Some things seem very mysterious, but in fact they are not complicated to analyze. Bai Feng doesn't want to serve, but wants to beat me, so naturally what he wants to do is to directly attack.

Why does he think he can take the initiative to attack?

Because he thinks I can Sneak Long Serve.

Why does he think I know Sneak Long Serve?

Because he thinks I am good at calculations and like changes. Isn't Sneak Long Serve the most reasonable for my personality?

What's more, there is Dragon Team's Zhuyu in front of me yesterday. Who dares to say that watching that game will not be affected at all?

You listened to a nice song yesterday, and you can't help but hum a few lines today.

So you see, this conclusion is not complicated when pushed back, it is simply clear.

So Wang Chao will take advantage of it.

The reason why serving Sneak Long Serve is risky is because your original intention is to sneak attack your opponent, and when your opponent directly attacks without a sneak attack, you will be panicked.

But Wang Chao already knew that Bai Feng was going to attack, so when he Sneak Long Serve, he was naturally prepared in advance.

Bai Feng thought he was predicting, but he didn't know that Wang Chao was also predicting.

Precisely because the prediction was sufficient, Bai Feng's aggressive attack was easily blocked.

Then, we entered Bai Feng's first character weakness: impatience.

Bai Feng plays with an emphasis on the first three strokes, which is not a weakness in itself, because the first three strokes in table tennis itself are a complete tactical system. However, the problem is that Bai Feng's first three strokes are too fierce, similar to Cheng Yaojin, who leaves no stone unturned, so once the three strokes pass, the momentum will quickly decline.

What Wang Chao has to do is to catch these three cricket balls and see what happens to Bai Feng.

Facts have proved that no matter how Bai Feng prepared in advance, he still underestimated Wang Chao in his heart, so when the three-axe failed, his performance was a bit unbearable, and he finally lost the first two points easily.

Then we enter Bai Feng's second character flaw: toughness.

Bai Feng is so powerful.

He was not convinced by Lin Li when he first started, and he was not convinced by anyone after joining the team. He sometimes played unreasonably. When playing with Luo Jiu, he knew that Luo Jiu was proficient in continuous forehand and backhand attacks, but he insisted on fighting Luo Jiu on the forehand and backhand.

When facing Dragon Team, he competed with Dragon Team for rhythm changes.

When playing Lin Li, he fought hard against Lin Li, trying to pull him through, because he knew that Lin Li was a famous heavy gunner.

Bai Feng's personal ability is extremely strong, but it was these too tough details that caused him to lose in many games that he could clearly win. He couldn't even listen to Wang Lu's repeated emphasis during the breaks.

After all, he still didn't feel the real pain.

So when Bai Feng got the right to serve, he directly Sneak Long Serve without hesitation.

Why?

Because Wang Chao just stole two long ones.

Why can a junior Sneak Long Serve in front of me and win my ball, but I can't Sneak Long Serve?

If I can't retaliate tooth for tooth, eye for eye, what else can I call World's Number One Penholder?

Bai Feng and Sneak Long Serve were perfectly predicted by Wang Chao, so they went back and forth and lost two more goals.

Then Wang Chao took the initiative to play two hard-hitting balls with Bai Feng. This was not a calculation, but Wang Chao really wanted to know how good he was.

After these two balls were played, Bai Feng truly regarded Wang Chao as a well-matched opponent.

Wang Chao certainly expected this.

So Wang Chao changed his tactics and played short balls with Bai Feng inside the platform.

This time Wang Chao actually lost, because his short ball inside the table could not beat Bai Feng, so he was forced to pick up the board and challenge. It was a risky move, but the challenge failed.

But Bai Feng is really too tough. He was beaten by Wang Chao, so he decided to come back with revenge. Taking advantage of his short ball advantage in the table, he just repaid Wang Chao's challenge in the table.

However, it was too difficult to play this kind of high-quality short ball on the table, and he failed.

So each side gets one point.

Then Wang Chao continued to change his moves, and he directly released his winning hand.

This was actually inspired by the game between Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong last night.

At that time, Luo Jiu had a hand in winning, but Sun Tianlong simply ignored it.

In fact, ignoring it is the best way to deal with it.

But Bai Feng was different. Bai Feng couldn't bear this kind of insult, he had to take it back hard.

With this draw, the situation turned into a stalemate again. In the stalemate ball, the two again alternately scored.

So you see, Bai Feng is actually better than Wang Chao, and that is his short ball inside the table.

If he pays close attention to this point and strives to find a breakthrough in the short-term fight, instead of impatiently returning Wang Chao's challenge, then he may really open a gap.

But as soon as he was slightly provoked by Wang Chao, he began to take over Wang Chao's hand, and carelessly missed the place where he might find an advantage.

The following game was lackluster. The two sides seemed to be fighting evenly, but every change in the situation was almost always guided by Wang Chao.

As long as he moves first, Bai Feng will follow, but Wang Chao can find a way to crack it from every move, but Bai Feng always follows stupidly, so the scores of the two sides increase interactively, until the final game, Bai Feng still failed to break through the initial four-point gap, and lost the game in frustration.

"I now think that you can win the championship if you go to Sakura Country." Cai Guodong was in a very good mood at this time, and even his smile was much brighter than before, "In this game, you have overfulfilled the task, which not only proves that you are strong enough to enter First Team, it also proves that your observation, judgment, on-the-spot tactical execution and psychological endurance during the game are all fully qualified, but... Bai Feng is a very vindictive guy. If you beat him, be careful in the future."

Wang Chao smiled, naturally he would not take such a joke seriously.

The competition within the national team is fierce and cruel, and there are a bunch of people chasing after each main player. Under this situation, the coaching staff always attaches great importance to healthy competition within the team, and strictly prohibits any player from becoming enemies because of the outcome of the game. Over the years, batches of players have long been accustomed to the wonderful relationship of "rivals on the field and teammates off the field."

Cai Guodong then looked at the coaches next to him and said, "While Wang Chao himself is here, will that matter... be settled today?"

All the coaches nodded together. "Indeed, it has been delayed for too long."

He Jingping said, "The feel of Wang Chao is not the same as that of Luo Jiu. I have carefully studied the super balls he hit. He has very precise control of the long balls at super long distances. Every time he cuts the ball from the side, he can cut the ball just right. The height and distance of the net, and the feel of Luo Jiu, are more reflected in the perception and response to the force of the ball at the moment of catching the ball. Therefore, Luo Jiu's talent can be called subtle, but I prefer to call Wang Chao's talent precise."

Wang Lu shook his head. "Precision is too narrow. According to you, what should I say about the behind-the-back hitting, switching-handed hitting, mastery of left and right hands, and those raw rubber chipping balls he hit before? Isn't this considered subtle? It's all fascinating."

He Jingping asked, "Then how do you think we should unify them?"

Wang Lu said, "Anyway, it's all about the feel, why not just call it Magic Hand?"

Everyone shook their heads, Qin Huachang said, "This is too ugly. And in my opinion, Wang Chao's strongest point is not actually his touch, but his ability to read the game situation... Don't you think he is particularly smart in playing games? This year's Table Tennis First Division I watched many games of. The way he broke the game in doubles against Ma Angxing was a typical targeted attack. If Ma Angxing had not been so rigid in character, Wang Chao would have lost in that game."

He looked around. "Not to mention the players, even if it were us as coaches, we dare not say that he would be able to think of such a method in his situation."

After saying this, everyone was quiet for a moment, and then Zhu Zeshi said, "Then what do you think it should be called?"

Qin Huachang said, "Insight."

Cai Guodong shook his head. "According to what you said, Wang Chao actually has another characteristic, which is more important than reading the game."

Qin Huachang said, "What?"

Cai Guodong said, "Don't forget, Wang Chao originally proposed the matter of replacing the rubber of Luo Jiu."

After these words were spoken, everyone became quiet again.

Because strictly speaking, this matter is indeed bigger than the sky.

Luo Jiu's matter has not only trapped He Jingping for seven years. In fact, other coaches on the coaching staff are also helping to make suggestions. It's just that after so many years, no one has come up with a truly reliable solution.

Therefore, the method Wang Chao came up with within a few days, even if it involves chance and luck, is still very scary to think about.

He alone crushed the entire Huaping coaching staff in terms of macro foresight.

So when Cai Guodong mentioned this matter, even Zhu Zeshi, who had always been calm, rarely pouted, as if he had a toothache.

"Don't forget about today's game." Wang Lu continued to remind, "Did everyone see clearly? Wang Chao counted that fool from beginning to end. This is not just reading the game, it is directly reading the players and manipulating people's hearts."

He Jingping said, "Is it called mind reading?"

Qin Huachang said, "How about calling me a prophet?"

Zhu Zeshi said, "If that doesn't work, why not add all these names? Let's just declare that he is a compound talent."

Cai Guodong scolded, "Nonsense, think again."

The scene was quiet again.

All the big guys looked at each other.

Wang Chao finally understood.

This group of people are giving names to their talents.

Just like Ma Angxing has Eagle Eye, Wu Li has strange strength, and Lin Zijun has extreme speed. With so many extraordinary things about him, of course he should also have a talent.

As a young junior from a wealthy family, he must also have a talent for speaking loudly and speaking with style.

It's just that Huaping has never seen anyone like him in decades, so these guys in front of them are actually stuck on the matter of naming.

After a long time, Cai Guodong finally made the final decision. "Let's call it Wushuang."

He said, "It's impossible to show all those abilities in one word. In this case, it's better to just call it Wushuang. It means that his talent is unparalleled in the world. What do you think?"

He Jingping applauded and liked it very much. "This is a good name, majestic and domineering. From now on, a new talent has been added to the table tennis world. It is really gratifying."

There are two updates today. I have been sorting out the roster of T2 Diamond Series in the past two days. There are 16 players, plus various bonds between each other. It is a bit brain-consuming, but it is also quite interesting. Just imagine what strategies different players will use if they face each other. Then Finally, I felt that no matter how I grouped them, there were always some games I wanted to write that couldn't be formed, which was quite a pity. I wished Wang Chao could play against everyone, but it was impossible. Fortunately, there is only a long way to go, and there will be many international competitions in the future that I can slowly beat.

In addition, the more I think about it, the more I think this is the tournament mode in the fantasy genre? Table tennis is different from basketball and football. It is all about one-on-one competition. It is exactly the same as an arena game. It includes breakthroughs on the battlefield and explosions in the small universe. They all have the same meaning.

Then I got confused, how could a sports novel be written as a fantasy? Hahaha.
