The game is still going on slowly.

When Wang Chao got the right to serve, the referee started to misbehave again and whistled for him three times in a row.

The first time was that his hand holding the ball was not level enough.

The second time he still said that the angle of his throw was not vertical enough.

The third time was even more ridiculous. After Wang Chao issued a short backspin, he insisted that the ball had hit the net and had to be served again.

By this time, the atmosphere in the entire stadium had become very weird. Even the Sakura Country audience felt that the referee's unfavorable behavior was too blatant and they couldn't support it.

Even the referee's own face turned slightly red because he had never violated professional ethics to such an extent. He felt ashamed from deep in his heart.

But the same sentence remains: Vice President Yoshikawa gave too much...

Even coach Ge Miao was furious. This was the first time she had seen such blatant difficulty in an international competition. She wanted to rush into the field and get angry several times, but when she saw Wang Chao's appearance, she had to hold back again and again.

Yes, Wang Chao is very calm...

He is probably the calmest person in the entire arena.

If the referee says he violated the rules, then that's fine. Anyway, it's just a re-serve. A whistle blow of this level cannot reach the point of taking out a card.

He was whistled for serving, throwing, and holding the ball again and again. Everyone thought he would be angry, but in fact, he found it funny.

Because the really nervous person is not him, but Yoshikawa Hiroshi opposite...

Yoshikawa Hiroshi was like a clown, crouched and on guard, waiting for Wang Chao to serve, but every time Wang Chao served was interrupted, so every time Yoshikawa Hiroshi was on guard, he was forced to squat, stand up, squat, stand up, squat, and stand up again.

Yoshikawa Hiroshi felt extremely uncomfortable, filled with nameless fire, and felt so aggrieved that he wanted to roar.

If he could, he wanted to yell at the referee, "Don't let me blow the whistle. Can you let me catch the ball? If this continues, I will have a heart attack."

But the referee doesn't know.

Yoshikawa Hiroshi The more he glared at him, the more flustered he became. He always felt that he had not done enough and failed to take good care of the vice president's son...

Well, this is a vicious cycle born of misunderstanding.

All in all, after Wang Chao got the right to serve, a lot of trivial details happened, which are difficult to describe one by one. We only know that when two minutes of game time passed, the score on the scoreboard jumped to 8:0.

Yoshikawa Hiroshi got the right to serve again.

He is almost no longer able to play ball...

He gave the referee a stern look with a warning look, which meant: Stop it, let me play well.

The referee nodded slightly and understood clearly: The vice-president's intention must be for me to continue my efforts and set new highs.

Yoshikawa Hiroshi continues to send short backspin.

But his mentality was messed up, and the ball was not served rigorously, and it was slightly too high.

Wang Chao judged that the ball was playable, so he directly picked up the ball and hit it.

The challenge was successful, and the ball flew over the net, towards Yoshikawa Hiroshi's left baseline, and finally touched the edge of the table, changed direction and flew out.

This is a borderline ball.

9:0.

The referee blew his whistle loudly and pointed his arm straight at Yoshikawa Hiroshi, indicating that the ball Yoshikawa Hiroshi would score.

Wang Chao was stunned.

He was a little frightened by the referee's shamelessness...

But the referee quickly expressed his opinion through gestures: This challenge was out of bounds, there was no edge, no edge, no edge at all!

Outside the stadium, Yoshikawa Dai Moku crossed his arms and breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Wang Chao's performance was too scary. He was criticized by the referee for being like this. He smiled from beginning to end, his mentality was not affected at all, and his game state was surprisingly good. Yoshikawa Dai Moku was really afraid that his son would have his head shaved.

Fortunately, the referee finally completed the super evolution, and directly evolved from the "making excuses to make things difficult" to the "unreasonable" stage, and began to talk nonsense.

Regardless of how the referee will be punished after the game, according to the rules of the game, his current arbitration authority is absolute and cannot be changed.

In other words, the score now is not 9:0, but 8:1. Yoshikawa Hiroshi finally got a valuable point.

The overall situation is decided!

But Yoshikawa Dai Moku never expected that Wang Chao, who had always been resigned to the situation, would finally reveal his true trump card.

He turned from the edge of the table, faced the referee, and spoke loudly.

"I don't accept this ball, and I apply for Eagle Eye arbitration."

In the past games, there was no Eagle Eye arbitration, but in fact, high-speed cameras have already existed. It is just because International Table Tennis Federation is relatively poor and far less wealthy than the Football Association and Basketball Association, so the World Tour and the three major competitions have not considered this thing.

It was not until the opening of T2 that the Sakura Country Table Tennis Association came up with this thing in order to highlight the grandeur of the entire game. To this end, they also added a special rule: if athletes are dissatisfied with the referee's decision, they can apply for Eagle Eye arbitration on the spot. Each player has only one initial opportunity to appeal in each game. If the appeal fails, he will lose the qualification to continue to appeal.

How to understand this?

This means that if you think the referee's decision was wrong, you can prove your innocence through Eagle Eye. But if you call up Eagle Eye to observe and find that the referee is actually right, then you can no longer appeal in this game. Even if the referee does make a wrong decision later, or even deliberately makes things difficult, you can only endure it.

Who told you that your appeal failed?

Therefore, the timing of appeal is very important, especially in some controversial penalties. In fact, the athletes themselves are not clear about right and wrong. At this time, whether to take a gamble or suffer a dumb loss first depends on the athletes' own weighing.

But Wang Chao didn't need to gamble at all. He was sure that the ball was missed.

It's been wiped out so much that it changed direction, how can it be fake?

Yoshikawa Dai Moku is really panicking at this moment...

He never expected this to happen.

Eagle Eye is a new function in this competition. Its main significance is to prove the superiority of T2 and the wealth of the Sakura Country Table Tennis Association. As for the real arbitration function, no one took it seriously. In fact, when Yoshikawa Dai Moku cheated with the referee, he did not even think about it.

But now he remembered.

It turns out that the refereeing power in this game is not supreme.

Eagle Eye is the final arbiter...

He just couldn't figure out where in the dark corner that boy Wang Chao found such a rule.

Is that kid a professional golfer or a professional litigator?

But he had no choice. Faced with Wang Chao's reasonable request, he could only wave his hand and signal the staff to come out.

This was Eagle Eye's first appearance in the world arena. In front of everyone, the scene just now was replayed. In slow motion, the small silver ball spun and flew over the net, clearly rubbed against the edge of the table, and then flew out in a different direction.

The moment the scene was frozen, what appeared was Yoshikawa Hiroshi's slightly deformed face due to the failed save, showing an expression of horror and despair, which triggered a burst of laughter from the audience.

So the referee invalidated the penalty and the number on the scoreboard changed to 9:0 again.

In the Imperial City, several big bosses looked at each other, obviously very surprised by this change, and then Cai Guodong said, "Sakura Country The Table Tennis Association finally did something good. This Eagle Eye is a good thing, and we will have to match it in the future."

"Yes, it must be matched." Everyone nodded together. "This bunch of nasty foreign referees are blowing the whistle on our Huaping team every day. With this thing, we won't have to worry about being targeted again in the future."

Then Qin Huachang laughed again, "Are they shooting themselves in the foot?"

When the game got to this point, Yoshikawa Hiroshi was actually in despair.

He faced an impenetrable wall.

And there are machine guns mounted on the high walls.

I want to fight, but I can't.

I want to block it, but I can't.

In theory, the referee's whistle can affect the players' emotions, but it turns out that Wang Chao is not affected at all. On the contrary, Yoshikawa Hiroshi himself is about to collapse from the repeated serves.

In the end, the referee resorted to a big weapon and directly pointed out that the deer was a horse, but he was cured by the "Eagle Eye Arbitration" move.

Facts have proved that Wang Chao has long been able to resort to Eagle Eye arbitration to respond to every rude penalty made by the referee.

He was just too lazy to bother and wanted to watch Yoshikawa Hiroshi jump around for a while. At the same time, he placed this deadly weapon in the most lethal place and gave Yoshikawa Hiroshi a fatal blow.

The first game ended quickly at 11:0. Yoshikawa Hiroshi begged for mercy and won a bald head.

But it's not enough.

Wang Chao's expression remained calm, but he smiled slightly at Yoshikawa Hiroshi before leaving the stage.

The smile made Yoshikawa Hiroshi's hair stand on end.

When they came back to play in the second game, Yoshikawa Hiroshi played more and more panicked, while Wang Chao became more and more flawless.

Because the game was not played aggressively, the progress of the game was not fast. In addition, Yoshikawa Hiroshi delayed a lot of serving in panic, resulting in the second game being played, and 19 minutes of the 24-minute countdown had passed.

Another 11:0.

By this time, only half of the audience had almost left. The stands were empty. No one cheered or applauded. No one wanted to see their country's players being tortured like this by non-Chinese associations players.

What's more, Yoshikawa Hiroshi has a moderate reputation within Sakura Country, and there are rumors on the forum that he is the son of Yoshikawa Dai Moku and entered T2 Diamond Match through the back door.

This made Sakura Country fans even more angry, and they began to flood the forum with the same sentence.

"Would it be better if the quota of Yoshikawa Hiroshi was given to Homer?"

"Would it be better if Yoshikawa Hiroshi was given to Kenta Matsudaira?"

"Would it be better if the Yoshikawa Hiroshi spot was given to Teacher Niwa?"

"Would it be better if Yoshikawa Hiroshi's quota was given to Haneda Seiya?"

"..."

The truth of the world has always been that winners and losers, even Mizutori Hato can be criticized a hundred times after losing, not to mention Yoshikawa Hiroshi, who has no fans in the first place, others are in the stadium, and they don't know that they have been criticized on the forum.

At this time, the referee announced: Based on the time spent in the first two games, the remaining 5 minutes are not enough for the third game, so the next games will all enter the fast5 stage.

The referee felt that he really tried his best.

When the penalty was invalid, the only thing he could do was to drag the 11-point game into a 5-point game, because he believed that such a game would be more accidental, and Yoshikawa Hiroshi would have a chance to win in an upset.

So he actually kept blowing the whistle in the second game, blowing Wang Chao's serving violation, receiving violation, touching ball violation, hand touching the table violation, and so on.

He is already shameless. He doesn't care whether he is right or not. Even if Wang Chao applies for Eagle Eye arbitration, won't it still waste time? Anyway, the 24-minute countdown will never stop.

Anyway, as long as I delay enough time to reach the fast5 stage, even if I succeed, the vice president and the vice president will thank me.

But he thought about one thing wrong.

What Yoshikawa Hiroshi wants is not an upset victory over Wang Chao, he just wants to score a point...

Which is easier, one point from 11 balls or one point from five balls?

When the game entered the fast5 stage, Yoshikawa Hiroshi fell even further.

In just five minutes, he was defeated 5:0 by Wang Chao twice.

When he walked out of the court, Yoshikawa Hiroshi's face was pale and his steps were sloppy, as if he would fall down at any time. He shook hands with Wang Chao, his palms were weak, and he even lost the mood to say a few harsh words to Wang Chao.

Because he knew that he was really famous this time...

He suddenly remembered Yang Chi on League A a few months ago.

At that time, Yang Chi commissioned himself to shave Geng Shuai's head precisely because he did not want to be the focus of the media.

But in the end, Wang Chao took revenge, which still made Yang Chi the biggest joke in that game.

Isn't the situation exactly the same today?

Obviously, the joke today should be Mizutori-senpai's.

Senior Water Bird talked nonsense before the game, jumped up and down during the game, and finally retired from the game with a back injury. He was also ridiculed in front of the Chinese players. It was really embarrassing...

But as soon as Wang Chao took action, he became the biggest joke again.

The difference is that Yang Chi got 3 11:0, totaling 33:0.

What I got was two 11:0 and two 5:0, totaling 32:0.

Good brothers, be loyal, sit in rows, and eat fruits.

Third update today, I tried my best, brothers.

I will continue writing at night and try to update at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. If you really can't do it, then it will still be 5 p. m.
