In fact, what Wang Chao is playing here is no longer a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.
He used many methods and calculated point by point. In fact, it was not to create a score advantage in a single game. He just wanted Zhu Shixian to follow his rhythm.
Not the rhythm of the game, but the rhythm of the mind.
To put it in layman's terms, he doesn't want Zhu Shixian to play mindlessly like Bai Feng. He wants Zhu Shixian to work hard to calculate and think, and try to keep up with the changing rhythm of his thinking.
After much deliberation, Zhu Shixian really fell into the trap.
When Zhu Shixian regained his composure and began to fight Wang Chao with an absolutely rational attitude, his mental power was forced to be highly concentrated.
Then, he was highly concentrated for nearly twenty minutes.
In these twenty minutes, it doesn't matter what the score is. What matters is that Zhu Shixian's mental energy is almost exhausted...
After all, he is 29 years old, has a love, a career, a family, and even had a child last year, so his attention has been completely distracted.
The decrease in physical strength actually doesn't matter, because playing table tennis does not require high physical strength.
However, the decline of mental power and the laxity of attention show a sharp decline with age, which is not based on human willpower.
Don't you see that people like Qin Huachang, when watching Dragon Team's game, can't keep up with Dragon Team's ideas because of their age? That day in Liancheng City's hotel, he didn't even dare to watch anymore, because he was afraid that while watching, he couldn't help but get involved and count the balls with Dragon Team until he was dizzy.
The current Zhu Shixian has no problem with his competitive status. If it is an ordinary game, even if he meets a master like Mizutori Hato, he will not feel tired after playing seven games, because both parties know how to play. There are very few calculations, guesses, and judgments, and more about basic skills and game experience.
He happened to fight Wang Chao, and he was cleverly led into a stalemate by Wang Chao that was extremely draining on his mental energy.
He himself did not feel this kind of consumption when he was playing. Instead, he felt very excited because of the high concentration of his mental power and felt that he was in excellent condition. The reason why he was able to get back two goals from Wang Chao was precisely because he played so well and had a sense of superiority that he had everything under control.
It wasn't until the game was over and he relaxed and walked off the court that this mental overdraft would officially come in the form of dizziness.
At this moment Zhu Shixian knew. "I'm finished."
It's so hard to guard against!
At this time, He Jingping also figured out the cause and effect under the reminder of Zhu Zeshi, and suddenly burst into laughter. "This kid has always been bullied by others for his lack of physical strength. Today it is his turn to use his mental power to bully an old player. He is not kind..."
The competition has officially entered the fast5 stage, and all the spectators and players are very excited, because this is the first time that the fast5 special competition system has appeared in the world, and everyone wants to witness what novel effects it has.
However, they were disappointed.
Because Zhu Shixian seemed to be a different person, and suddenly he no longer knew how to play ball.
He is still in a stalemate with Wang Chao about swinging short and slicing the ball, but his error rate has increased significantly. It almost only takes more than ten rounds to slice the ball high or directly commit suicide by slicing the ball into the net.
Of course, he also worked hard to score some points through fighting and other means.
So just three minutes later, he lost the second game 5:2.
In the next eight minutes, Zhu Shixian lost the third and fourth games 5:1 and 5:3.
In the end, Wang Chao blocked Zhu Shixian with a score of 4:0, eliminating World's Number One Chopper, who was ranked 12th in the world.
The audience was talking a lot, but the players were mostly silent.
After all, the players are all masters. Even if they can't predict it, they can still guess the real strategy of Wang Chao after watching the whole game.
Then many people felt a chill on their backs.
This little dragon from China is a bit sinister...
Most people who had secretly stared at Wang Chao in the cafeteria and tried to become famous by stepping on Wang Chao realized at this moment that their previous mentality was a bit ridiculous.
Because they have determined that Wang Chao is a top master comparable to Zhu Shixian, and seems to be more insidious than Zhu Shixian.
So at this moment, they put Wang Chao on the same level as Mizutori Hato and Lin Zijun, agreed with Sakura Country's prediction before the game, and admitted that Wang Chao was indeed the favorite to win the first T2 Diamond Match.
They didn't know that Yoshikawa Dai Moku was originally going to praise and kill Wang Chao.
"Praise? Leave it, I'll hit it!" In the card room of the Imperial City, Cai Guodong skillfully took out a pair of six-barrels, cut off the six-barrels that He Jingping had just played, and formed a neat row of six-six-sixes. He threw away a south wind and said with a smile, "They had a pretty good idea, but it's a pity that they misjudged the strength of Wang Chao..."
If Wang Chao loses, then the victory will naturally be established.
But if Wang Chao really wins the championship in the end, what Yoshikawa Dai Moku does is not just praise, but it helps Wang Chao gain free publicity and help him make a shining debut in the international arena and soar to the sky.
Wang Chao After this match, the women's singles match followed.
The schedule was arranged by Yoshikawa Dai Moku, and this arrangement is naturally full of meaning.
In fact, the original plan was to play eight games this afternoon, starting with the first four games of the first round of Men's Singles, and then the first four games of the first round of Women's Singles.
However, after the draw in the morning, Yoshikawa Dai Moku temporarily adjusted the order of the games and changed to playing the first two games of the first round of Men's Singles first, and then the first six games of the first round of Women's Singles.
There are also eight games, but the third and fourth games of Men's Singles have been moved to tomorrow morning.
On the surface, Yoshikawa Dai Moku explained it this way: Men's Singles has received much more attention than Women's Singles. Today is the first day of the competition, which is a warm-up stage. Many viewers don't know much about the competition system. Therefore, Women's Singles will play two more games first and wait until tomorrow for the main event, so that more viewers can see the live broadcast of the Men's Singles game.
Anyway, T2 is a weird event, and the top 15 in the world as originally planned are basically not here. They are all played by a group of substitutes, so even if Yoshikawa Dai Moku temporarily changes the schedule, everyone doesn't care much.
Do whatever you like, anyway, we are here to travel, soak in hot springs, flirt with Sakura girls, and earn US dollars on the way.
If you really want to protest, let the favorites protest on their own.
So what is the real purpose of Yoshikawa Dai Moku?
There are two main points.
First point, today Men's Singles's second game is Wang Chao playing Zhu Shixian. He is sure that Wang Chao will lose. After discussing it together, the coaches of Sakura Country also think that Wang Chao's chance of losing is more than 80%, so Yoshikawa Dai Moku hopes to play a few more boring games after Wang Chao's game. Only in this way will the audience have the time to reflect on the aftertaste of the game between Wang Chao and Zhu Shixian.
This feeling is just like after watching a wonderful sketch on the Spring Festival Gala, you will definitely not care which old singing artist performs the solo after the sketch. You will happily discuss the details of the sketch with your relatives. Maybe you will also turn down the volume of the TV, because the lung capacity of the old singing artist is too sufficient.
Yoshikawa Dai Moku hopes that everyone will discuss more, post more online, spread the news of Wang Chao's abuse as soon as possible, stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Huaping coaching staff, and make them strongly dissatisfied with Wang Chao.
The second reason is because Men's Singles's fourth game is the match between Mizutori Hato and Zhu Ding.
In this game, most people are optimistic about Mizutori Hato and think that Chinese table tennis player Zhu Ding will be beaten violently.
In the international table tennis world, any game in which Chinese table tennis players are severely beaten must be the most talked about game. This is an iron rule.
On the Internet, the expectations for this game are far ahead of all other games with extremely exaggerated data.
Therefore, Yoshikawa Dai Moku must move the ball to tomorrow morning, and starting tonight, they will promote it in the media like crazy, calling on everyone to watch the live broadcast, and make sure that tomorrow's highlight event starts under the spotlight.
He even had people write drafts in advance, and Mizutori Hato was called "national hero" and "anti-China pioneer" in every draft.
As for the game "Lu Feiyang vs Zhuang Huishen" ranked in front of Mizutori Hato, it is actually quite interesting, and it can be used as a pre-dinner dessert before the main event.
Look, how perfect!
However, it is a pity that Wang Chao actually defeated Zhu Shixian, still 4:0...
So Yoshikawa Dai Moku is a little upset now. He found that the audience really didn't pay much attention to the women's singles game. Many people were discussing the chipping battle just now with great interest.
Originally I wanted everyone to enjoy the afterglow of Wang Chao's loss, but now it's become a way to let everyone enjoy the afterglow of Wang Chao's win...
That night, the famous sports magazine number in Sakura Country released a separate interview that Mizutori Hato accepted after the draw.
During the interview, Mizutori Hato did not disappoint and made great remarks.
"Zhu Ding? Who is Zhu Ding? Is he a player from China's Table Tennis First Division? Oh, I'm sorry, I know a little bit about Table Tennis Super League. As for Table Tennis First Division, I've never heard of it at all."
"I don't know why this player is qualified to play in international competitions. Maybe it's because China Table Tennis has become more corrupt than in previous years. Ten years ago, I said that the head coach of China Table Tennis was nepotistic and favored Wang Wendong. But you said I was just jealous. Five years ago, I said that Sun Tianlong had a problem with the racket sponge and the equipment was cheating, so he couldn't win. But you said I couldn't afford to make excuses for losing. So today, what else did you ask me to say?"
"I'm actually quite happy to draw such an unknown guy in the first round, because I don't need to train tonight. I'm going to find someone in the busiest place in Ginza to have a few drinks, and then go back and have a good sleep. With a little effort tomorrow, I should be able to enter the second round."
"Opponent information? Haha, I have no curiosity at all about an opponent of this level. Really, I swear, I don't want to investigate at all, but my coach insisted on telling me something. He said that Zhu Ding was one of the Six Dragons of China Table Tennis Seven Years ago, and asked me to be careful."
"Haha, don't you think it's ridiculous? One of the six dragons seven years ago? What does that mean? Does it mean that his ancestors were once wealthy? The ancestors of the British Empire once bullied Amerikan!"
"If I had to predict the score now, I think it would be 4:0. If I had to add a time limit to this 4:0, I don't think it would exceed 24 minutes."
This passage not only detonated the Sakura Country forum, but also detonated the world table tennis circles. On the forum of China's largest table tennis portal "Silver Ball Dance", there were seven people directly related to Mizutori Hato. Guan's post went viral on the homepage. Below, a large number of netizens directly greeted Mizutori Hato's immediate maternal relatives. Only a handful of people were seriously discussing how Zhu Ding should fight Mizutori Hato.
When Wang Chao saw this news, he was practicing in the arena provided by the hotel. He asked Zhu Ding: "How are you going to play tomorrow?"
Zhu Ding used his index finger to push the sunglasses he still refused to take off, and remained silent for a rare moment. He could only vaguely see his lips tightening under the shadow of the sunglasses.
Then he served Sneak Long Serve, taking advantage of Wang Chao to catch the ball and get high, and hit the ball hard with great force, as if he was going to beat someone to death.
Thanks to "Wtong", "Ishi Tianming", "Qiufeng Xiaolou" and "feicalvin" for the reward.
