At this moment, Zhu Shixian, who had always been in a good state of mind, was a little confused.
He couldn't figure out how to fight next.
Although the score is only 3:0 now, these three goals, Wang Chao has told him three things.
The first ball: Don't compete with me, you can't compete with me.
The second ball: Don't compete with me in patience, you can't compete with me.
The third ball: Don't play defense with me, you can't guard me.
"Then how should I play?" Zhu Shixian only felt that the matter was a bit ironic. "I am a chipper, do you want me to take the initiative to attack?"
Wang Chao served again, this time with a regular short backspin.
He is still wary of Zhu Shixian's forehand attack power. Now that Zhu Shixian has figured out the two balls just now, Wang Chao will naturally not bet on Zhu Shixian's attack.
Faced with this short backspin, Zhu Shixian can only cut.
He was once very proud of his chipping style, because he felt that chipping could break through ten thousand moves with one move, and it could be changed in any way, but I remained unmoved.
But now he is a little depressed, because he really wants to find another way to fight Wang Chao, and does not want to compete with Wang Chao anymore.
But he only knows how to slice the ball.
So in the blink of an eye, the timer passed for another minute, and the two entered into a long tug-of-war again. Before they knew it, it was already forty-seven rounds.
Yoshikawa Dai Moku covered his eyes in pain and walked around irritably. He prayed in his heart that it was best for Wang Chao to eliminate Zhu Shixian as soon as possible.
It's not that he supports Wang Chao emotionally, but because Zhu Shixian is the only chipper in T2 Diamond Match this year, he is really afraid that the chipper's slowness will ruin the game.
In fact, Yoshikawa Dai Moku hates Wang Chao because his son Yoshikawa Hiroshi told him what happened in Jinling.
Yoshikawa Hiroshi was forcibly expelled back to the country by the Chinese Table Tennis Association due to force majeure from the top. Yoshikawa Hiroshi once wanted to fight, but others did not come forward at all. Even if he wanted to fight, he could not find a target.
On the surface, the person in charge of Osmanthus Fragrance Club told him kindly that due to some internal operational reasons, he could not continue to cooperate with him for the time being and was willing to pay liquidated damages. What could he do?
Yoshikawa Hiroshi returned home in despair and told Yoshikawa Dai Moku everything. Then Yoshikawa Dai Moku incited domestic fishing boats and finally succeeded in detonating the dissatisfaction that had been buried in the people last year, which promoted the emergence of T League and launched T2 Diamond Match on this basis.
Then Yoshikawa Dai Moku worked overtime to produce a brochure and selected Six Little Dragons of Chinese Ping Pong. The intention was very clear and unabashed, that is, to praise Wang Chao.
As for why Hu Buming and Ma Angxing were selected into the Six Dragons list, of course it was the information provided by Yoshikawa Hiroshi who knew Table Tennis First Division very well.
In Yoshikawa Hiroshi's view, no matter how strong Wang Chao is, he is only as strong as Table Tennis First Division. But in the world table tennis world, Wang Chao is nothing.
So touting Wang Chao is destroying Wang Chao.
He was waiting for Mizutori Hato or Lin Zijun to come and brutally torture Wang Chao, and also make Huaping's so-called new generation Six Dragons lose face.
It would be great if senior Mizutori Hato publicly said two disrespectful words about Hua Ping after he brutally killed Wang Chao.
When the time comes, the Chinese National Table Tennis Team coaching staff, who care about face the most, will definitely get angry at Wang Chao and no longer give him a chance to play.
In this way, Wang Chao's future is basically ruined, and Yoshikawa Hiroshi's revenge for being deported back to his country is avenged.
Yoshikawa Hiroshi didn't think there was any problem with the whole plan, because he had heard the story of Geng Shuai seven years ago.
Geng Shuai lost an insignificant open game and was never called up by Huaping.
So if Wang Chao loses a more important diamond match, of course he will not be called up by China Table Tennis Team.
Very reasonable.
So Yoshikawa Hiroshi is just waiting, waiting for someone to defeat Wang Chao.
Zhu Shixian is actually a very good fighter, but unfortunately, it seems that he can't beat Wang Chao today.
When the fourth ball reached the 57th round, Wang Chao returned the ball high again.
Another little bit of excitement.
Zhu Shixian learned the lesson and cut it steadily without moving.
At this moment, he felt a strange sense of relief and satisfaction in his heart.
That probably means. "Look, I'm not going to be fooled this time."
After more than ten rounds, Zhu Shixian finally made a mistake. The ball was chipped high and too long.
Wang Chao directly turned sideways and charged forward.
Zhu Shixian cuts back steadily.
The situation once again becomes the defensive counterattack situation most often encountered by chippers.
But Zhu Shixian felt a thump in his heart and realized something was wrong.
Because he couldn't guard against Wang Chao's all-pervasive attack...
After seven consecutive boards, he was pulled through again.
4:0.
Seeing the ball boy running to pick up the ball, Zhu Shixian took the shortest time to review the game, and then suddenly remembered Wang Chao's high jump in the fifty-seventh round...
"In other words, it was really a mistake that he accidentally made, rather than a mistake?"
"After all, he is young and does not have as solid basic skills as I do, so at that time I should just rush forward?"
He carefully recalled that the height of that ball was actually enough to explode, which was different from the deliberate temptation of Wang Chao's second ball.
However, I didn't dare to fight...
On the contrary, after more than ten rounds, he took the advantage, and Wang Chao attacked without hesitation and killed himself.
At this moment, Zhu Shixian felt like a beeping dog.
He vowed that from now on, he must enter a state of absolute sanity where his mind is as calm as water. He must abandon all negative emotions of doubt, speculation, fear, and uneasiness. He must judge every ball absolutely objectively, whether it should be pumped or chipped. No matter what, he must not make such damn low-level mistakes again!
He swears to God!
"Zhu Shixian What a pity." Qin Huachang shook his head and sighed, "He is obviously a treacherous and ghostly person, so why did he drink Wang Chao's foot washing water?"
Wang Lu couldn't help but laugh. He always felt that Zhu Shixian's serious face while chipping the ball was a bit funny. "But you have to admit, World's Number One Chopper is by no means a wasted reputation. His mentality is almost gone." The enemy... Most people would be able to figure it out even if Wang Chao counted four times in a row, and they would probably vomit blood now, but look at him, he is really stable now, and he is starting to compete with Wang Chao for patience again. "
Yes, the score displayed on the TV screen has now climbed to 9:6.
From 4:0 to 9:6, these 11 balls were played for a long fifteen minutes, and the timer only had seven minutes left.
Within these fifteen minutes, Zhu Shixian did not suffer any further losses, but instead recovered a goal.
He and Wang Chao fought a protracted battle in the true sense. Both sides competed for patience and control. During this period, Wang Chao made several mistakes. Zhu Shixian took the initiative to attack without hesitation. When Zhu Shixian experienced technical fluctuations, Wang Chao also attacked decisively.
Both of them have committed suicide in their attacks, but overall the success rate of offense is much greater than that of defense.
Therefore, this situation of alternately rising scores can actually only prove one thing: under the current situation, Wang Chao and Zhu Shixian are truly evenly matched in terms of hard power.
The official commentator in Kimchi Country was so excited that he shouted, "Did you see it? Did you see it? This is our top-ranked super-class player Kimchi Country. This steely will, this absolutely calm attitude, and this hard work of biting back every point. Let us cheer for player Zhu Shixian. We firmly believe that he can win this game!"
Then he changed the topic. "But what surprised us is that the young player Wang Chao from Huaping League A is really as powerful as the legend. He is only 18 years old. You Can you believe it? He is one year younger than our star of hope, Li Zhengzhi, but he has firmly entered the ranks of the top players. Huaping is really scary. Anyone who comes out is a top player!"
It's a pity that he didn't hear the chat of the big guys in the imperial capital, otherwise he would know that in Hua Ping's eyes, Zhu Shixian is not super first-class, just first-class.
And the current Wang Chao's performance is also stable and first-rate.
Where in the world can there be so many top-notch people?
Three days ago, Sun Tianlong was the only one in the world that could be described as first-rate. Now, only Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu are top-notch.
As for the other three members of the national team, Xiao Fei, Bai Feng, and Lin Li, they were all rated as "above the first-class". This is a transitional stage, which in fantasy terms is called "half-step above the first-class."
Zhuang Huishen more than ten years ago and Bayer seven or eight years ago also briefly reached this state.
In fact, Wang Chao has not yet reached this level. Although he defeated Bai Feng, he relied on strategy, tactics and wisdom. In terms of the quality of the ball alone, he is still a little bit behind.
This bit cannot be achieved purely by talent. He has to practice, at least make his body stronger.
At this moment, Pisces's He Jingping still didn't understand the situation on the court. He had to ask his senior brother for help again, "How can Wang Chao win if the fight continues like this?"
Zhu Zeshi was a little angry and glared at him. "Stop thinking about your little bit of rubber all day long. Your eyesight now is not as good as that of your apprentice. Don't you have any sense of crisis?"
"Why should I have a sense of crisis? I am just a technical person. I don't need to play on the court, let alone compete with you for the position of head coach in the future."
He Jingping said confidently, "When I used to watch football with Xiaojiu, I would occasionally ask him, is it embarrassing? I don't think so. They don't dislike me."
Zhu Zeshi was helpless and could only explain obediently, "You may not see that they are evenly matched now, but Wang Chao's calculations on those first few balls are meaningful. He is forcing Zhu Shixian to keep thinking, to be annoyed, to constantly adjust his mentality, and to keep controlling his emotions."
He Jingping asked, "Then what?"
"Then..." Zhu Zeshi sighed, still not wanting to tell the truth, "You have to know, Zhu Shixian is not young anymore. He is already 29 years old. How can he still withstand these successive torments?"
He Jingping was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
The first game was finally played with only three minutes left on the countdown. This game made many spectators yawn.
In the end, Wang Chao won 11:9. His advantage of the first four goals was only recovered by two by Zhu Shixian, which shows how difficult this game was.
Li Zhengzhi smiled on the sidelines of the court. He felt that Brother Shixian had obviously reversed the situation and came from behind.
Although Brother Shixian's advantage seems very weak, judging from the score trend, this advantage does exist. So, as long as he is stable from behind, he can always fight back.
In terms of state stability, he thinks Brother Shixian is higher than Wang Chao.
At this time, Yoshikawa Dai Moku appeared and announced that it would directly enter fast5. The reason was that the remaining time was not enough for the second regular mode game.
Zhu Shixian walked to the sidelines to rest for a while, chatting with Li Zhengzhi to relax.
When he let out a long breath, he suddenly felt slightly dizzy.
"Brother Shixian, are you okay?" Li Zhengzhi considerately handed over a bottle of sports drink with the cap unscrewed. "Your face is so white."
Zhu Shixian managed to cheer up, shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine, fast5 is coming next anyway, I should be able to hold on."
Li Zhengzhi nodded, thought about it, and couldn't help but say something more, "Actually, brother Shixian, you didn't need to play so hard in this game just now."
Zhu Shixian was stunned, and suddenly an extremely vague thought passed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
Li Zhengzhi said, "I mean... it's hard to get back the ball in the first game anyway, why not just lose more easily and save your energy for the next games. Why do you have to play for so long?"
Zhu Shixian felt that the vague idea in his mind was getting clearer and clearer. He thought hard, as if he would suffer a big loss if he didn't think clearly. He thought and thought, and thought, and finally, he figured it out.
At this moment, his whole body trembled, as if he had been electrocuted, and then he felt the urge to vomit blood.
This emotion is called "depressed to the point of vomiting blood."
Oh my God, I have a great reputation all my life, and I have guarded it to the end, but I still fell into the pit again!
Damn Wang Chao!
Damn Wang Chao!
I've beeped my dog!
"Brother Shixian? Brother Shixian? Brother Shixian, what's wrong with you? Brother Shixian, are you okay?" Li Zhengzhi's series of voices finally brought Zhu Shixian back from the hazy state of anger and frustration.
"I'm fine..." Zhu Shixian roughly shook off Li Zhengzhi's hand holding his arm. At this moment, he even got angry with Li Zhengzhi.
After all, if Li Zhengzhi didn't talk too much, he would have been a confused ghost at most. But now, he has seen through Wang Chao's plan without realizing it, and he has no way to prevent it. It seems that he is going to be a sober ghost.
Walking onto the court, he shook his head, obviously feeling dizzy in his head.
