The game continues.
Wang Chao serves, still Lin Zijun backhand baseline.
Lin Zijun started running again, and in an instant he reached the far left side of the table, and without saying a word, he hit the ball again.
Wang Chao paid 120% of his attention, swung the racket with his forehand, raised it violently, and once again pulled the ball to Lin Zijun's forehand position at a wide angle.
This time, it reached the bottom line of the table steadily.
Lin Zijun moved like the wind, running wildly around the table, and once again landed early, but this time he did not run to the right side of the ball. Instead, he maintained his forehand posture to catch the ball, lowered his wrist, and made a beautiful slice.
He also used this move against Li Zhengzhi on the first day.
Although his touch is not as delicate as Wang Chao, it is still enough to hit a chip that is no less than a professional chipper at this time.
The reason why he doesn't pull is because he knows that his strength is insufficient and Forehand Loop's power is limited.
He can't even rush to death Wang Chao, let alone this kind of looping ball?
Faced with Lin Zijun's cut, Wang Chao did not hesitate to turn sideways and pull out a fierce and heavy arc.
Lin Zijun Cut again.
Wang Chao Pull again.
Lin Zijun Cut again.
Wang Chao Pull again.
Lin Zijun is cut for the third time.
Wang Chao stopped, and he suddenly realized that he was actually at a disadvantage in this stalemate.
Because his physical strength is also not very good, if he uses offense against defense throughout the whole process, he will exhaust all his energy faster.
And his explosive charge can't kill Lin Zijun either.
So Wang Chao also cut a board.
Lin Zijun Cut again.
Wang Chao is also cut.
Since this ball was played, the two have scored a total of seven boards, exchanged offense and defense twice, and actually turned an offensive ball into a defensive confrontation.
Wang Chao actively chooses to swing short at this time.
He has no advantage in chipping the ball, but if he can actively switch to short balls on the table, he will have a slight advantage in details.
But at the same time, Lin Zijun also has the opportunity to use his most lethal Overlord Twist.
So Wang Chao is actually letting the winner go. He wants to see whether Lin Zijun should fight or not.
This is a test, he needs to use it to determine whether Lin Zijun's mentality has really adjusted.
With Lin Zijun's fearful and shrinking appearance in the two games just now, he would definitely refuse Wang Chao's invitation to fight as long as he had the slightest hesitation in his heart.
But the answer is: Lin Zijun challenges it head-on.
Lin Zijun also swung back a short ball, and his body began to continuously shake left and right outside the table. With Wang Chao's eyesight, it was difficult to judge which direction Lin Zijun would move next.
What Wang Chao can do is to make the swing as short as possible, making the ball short, low and backspin, without giving Lin Zijun any chance.
But Lin Zijun doesn't want to continue the stalemate with Wang Chao, because he knows that his short ball is not as good as Wang Chao.
So he took action decisively, forced his way to the right side of the table, and leaned forward again. The surface of the ball was almost flat with the table, trying to twist the ball, which was theoretically difficult to twist.
The red rubber on the front of the racket soared into the sky again like Divine Dragon Emerging from Water, and the ball roared over the net with violent spin.
At this moment Wang Chao only felt his scalp numb.
He played with Lin Zijun for nearly fifteen minutes, and only now did he truly experience for himself what the world's top Overlord Twist is.
Because Lin Zijun's racket was pressed too low, the ball was almost invisible when it flew out from the bottom of the racket. When it appeared in sight, it had turned into a white line at an absurd speed and came over in just a flash.
From the opposite table close to the net to the bottom line of our table, this distance is only half the length of the entire table, which is about one meter three to four meters, but the speed of the ball is not less than 100 kilometers per hour. You can imagine how fast Wang Chao needs to react at this moment to be able to judge the rotation direction and flight trajectory of the ball at the same time, and make a response.
Wang Chao's reaction was fast enough. He raised the racket almost reflexively.
It didn't work.
Because under such hellish difficulty of twisting the ball, Lin Zijun actually completed a small line change and hit the ball to Wang Chao's left hand at a wide angle.
The angle is not too big, but it is enough in this situation.
Wang Chao's arms could keep up with the ball, but his steps couldn't. He didn't have the speed of Lin Zijun, so he could only subconsciously step across and raise his hand to fish for it, but found nothing.
There was a dull "pop" sound, and the ball landed on the rubber floor, spinning endlessly on the spot.
3:3, Lin Zijun finally tied the score with difficulty.
Yi Jing also came back to his senses at this moment and asked Grasshopper a seemingly irrelevant question, "Have you ever heard a sentence?"
Grasshopper couldn't get the intention of his partner at all, so he could only hold his hands in fear before saying, "What are you talking about?"
Yi Jing said, "The Brazilian tiger goes with the wind, the Chinese dragon goes against the wind, and the desperate situation European King."
Grasshopper breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "This is a famous saying in the table tennis world. Of course I have heard it."
He then gave the audience some popular science.
Tailwind Brazilian Tiger refers to the top Brazilian player Hook, whose full name is Hook. Calderano. This person has an extremely high upper limit and an extremely low lower limit. He is like a god when playing downwind games. All kinds of super balls emerge in an endless stream, and his attack methods are unconstrained. He can do whatever he wants. All indicators and attributes are fully fulfilled. Even Sun Tianlong has a severe headache when he encounters him.
Against the Wind Hua Guolong, as the name suggests, of course refers to Sun Tianlong.
Sun Tianlong's style of play emphasizes planning before taking action. First, observe the opponent's routines and styles, and then formulate corresponding countermeasures. Find weapons that can target the opponent from your all-encompassing arsenal, combine them into a technical and tactical system, and finally defeat all the opponent's killer moves.
In order to observe and test his opponents, he often starts behind, but in the end he always wins without any danger, so he is nicknamed "the dragon against the wind" by industry insiders.
Desperate European King refers to the German player Hans. Bayer. He has won most of the European Championships championships in Europe throughout his career. He has beaten all the well-known players in Europe. He is the well-deserved king of Europe.
What is most talked about about him is his mentality of being indifferent to favors and humiliations and looking down on victory and defeat. It is this mentality that has helped him come back from an absolute disadvantage countless times and has also helped him persist to this day.
He once had the feat of chasing seven match points in a row on World Table Tennis Championships.
He was also beaten violently by his opponent for three consecutive rounds on Olympic Games, and was beaten half way in the fourth round, but he turned over in the end.
Even International Table Tennis Federation officials praised him as a "super big heart", a "miracle creator" and a "veteran role model who never admits defeat".
"Now I need to change this sentence." Yi Jing took a rare serious look and said with a serious expression, "After watching this game, don't you think that Lin Zijun's performance is fully worthy of the sentence 'Desperate Lin Zijun'?"
At this time, she didn't know the weight of her words.
In the world table tennis circles in the next twenty years, there will be a saying of "Desperate Lin Zijun" from then on.
The older generation of players are gradually disappearing, and young players are emerging from all over the world with great vigor. So not long after, someone filled in the names of two other young people in front of this sentence to form a new famous saying in the table tennis world, which means that the table tennis world is gradually entering a new era.
The sun rises and the moon sets, time goes by, old jokes are replaced by new ones, and new people replace old people.
This is sports, this is table tennis.
This is inheritance.
This much-anticipated preview of the T2 finals has completely entered a feverish stage.
Those spectators who felt that they were not worthy of their reputation when watching the first two games all started shouting crazily.
Everyone's blood was ignited.
They discovered that the shy boy was making an unstoppable rebound from adversity.
Although he has a seemingly weak appearance, he has an absolutely strong heart. He is not a sissy, not a chick, or a pretty boy. He is a real man and a tough guy.
If Wang Chao has demonstrated tactical planning and execution capabilities that amaze the world, then what Lin Zijun is showing at this moment is the absolute toughness that all athletes dream of: never collapse.
The two extreme in-table twist balls he scored from Wang Chao can definitely be classified as super balls.
This proves that although he did not roar like Wang Chao, he still pushed his state to the limit in silence.
Proving that there must be a raging fire surging beneath his calm surface.
Half sea water, half fire.
This is a young man who is very soft on the outside but very strong on the inside.
Grasshopper was impressed and asked Yi Jing on a whim, "Is this considered the world's best backhand?"
Yi Jing thought about it for a long time, but couldn't answer.
She emotionally supports Huaping. Whether Bai Feng's Penhold Backhand Loop, Lin Li's COSCO heavy artillery backhand, or Luo Jiu's backhand speed, they are all powerful and unique. In her opinion, they are all qualified to compete for the world's best backhand.
But compared with the two miraculous backhand twists of Lin Zijun in front of her, she only felt that they were overshadowed.
In a room far away in the imperial capital, Zhu Zeshi sighed softly and said, "I can't hold it in any longer."
There was some silence in the room. After a long time, Qin Huachang spoke softly, "Yeah, who would have thought that I couldn't hold it back anymore..."
They see further than the spectators outside.
The audience only saw Lin Zijun struggling to tie the score, but they knew that Lin Zijun was about to overtake.
Last night, everyone gathered together and carefully analyzed the actual combat capabilities of Wang Chao and Lin Zijun. They first wrote down the winning percentage of both sides on paper, and then announced it at the same time. Except for the answer given by He Jingping, which was 50-50, the other people all chose 40-60.
Lin Zijun six, Wang Chao four.
The reason is that Wang Chao lacks a killing move, while Lin Zijun already has his own killing move.
Lin Zijun is also faster than Wang Chao.
Although Wang Chao serves better, has more fake moves, better feel, and has more foresight, Lin Zijun neither eats the serve nor is afraid of fake moves, and will not take the initiative to compete with Wang Chao.
As for vision, that's good for the coach, not the game.
When both players play smart enough, Wang Chao is generally at a disadvantage.
Now Lin Zijun has completely adjusted. When he can perform normally, the advantage will naturally come to his side.
In the small room, only the crisp sound of table tennis balls could be heard, mixed with Grasshopper's completely off-topic commentary voice.
The light emitted from the screen shone on everyone's faces, and it was colorful and ever-changing, just like everyone's moods, which were complicated and difficult to understand.
"It's okay." Cai Guodong comforted softly, "If Lin Zijun wins the championship, although it is a bit regretful, it can be regarded as a victory for our country after all."
"But, what should Wang Chao do?" He Jingping's tone was full of worry. "He did everything to perfection, triggering the anger of the whole audience, but in the end he was reversed... He will become the laughing stock of the world table tennis community."
Everyone fell into silence again, and even Cai Guodong turned away, not wanting to meet He Jingping's eyes.
He was unable to respond to He Jingping's request for help.
They all know that this matter has no solution.
When Wang Chao planned to destroy the flower with his own hands, there was no way around it.
This is the winning hand outside the table. Once it is released, there will be an injury.
Either Lin Zijun will become depressed and unable to recover, or Wang Chao will steal the chicken but lose the rice and become the laughing stock of the world.
There is no third possibility.
To be honest, I wrote four chapters today, and this game is finished, but I can only update two chapters. You must forgive me, because I have to save some manuscripts, otherwise the pressure will be too much to be exhausted every day, and the content that is sent cannot be modified, and I feel that the quality has seriously declined.
I really miss the days when I had 20 chapters saved.
When I work harder these days and save a few more chapters, I can continue to add more chapters.
May Ping-Pong God bless you, Amen!
