When Wang Chao came back, Zhu Ding was lying on the sofa in the hall outside playing with his mobile phone. Seeing him come in, he casually said, "What did you talk about?"

Wang Chao responded casually, "It's nothing. I just gave it a try and wanted to invite Lin Zijun to join Spade Q, but I was rejected."

He turned around and wanted to go in, but Zhu Ding said, "Why did he refuse?"

Wang Chao could only stop and said, "There is no way, he has already signed it."

Zhu Ding said "Oh" and sat up from the sofa with interest. "Which team did you sign?"

Wang Chao couldn't help laughing, "Imperial Capital New City."

Zhu Ding suddenly had a strange expression.

He has accepted his father's arrangement and will transfer to the Imperial Capital Panlong team to play second singles next spring, playing alongside the national team's main player Xiao Fei, so he naturally knows a lot about New City Club, who is also in the imperial capital.

He immediately thought of a question: Is it possible that a proud man like Lin Zijun will fight against Table Tennis First Division next year?

"Lin Zijun go to Table Tennis First Division, that's a real random killing." Zhu Ding said.

"Who says it's not? It's a dimensionality reduction attack." Wang Chao said.

"Table Tennis First Division is the new king." Zhu Ding sighed.

"Invincible." Wang Chao sighed.

The two of them praised Lin Zijun with their mouths, but the smiles in their eyes betrayed their hearts. They were actually gloating about his misfortune.

After returning to the room and closing the door, Wang Chao's expression was a little subtle.

He really felt that Zhu Ding had changed.

In the past, let alone letting him take the initiative to chat, even if someone put words to his mouth, he would not bother to respond.

When he is really forced to speak, he often only speaks a few words, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

But now, Zhu Ding seems to have gradually come out, and has even started to actively inquire about gossip, wanting to take advantage of Lin Zijun.

He seems... to be happy?

Wang Chao's mood became very good because of this.

Because once Zhu Ding is good, He Jingping and Zhu Zeshi will be good, and so will the entire wealthy family.

Finally there are not so many nonsense things that Qin Huachang makes fun of.

At the same time, he would feel more at ease accepting the house given to him by his uncle.

At 1:30 p. m., the game resumed.

Interestingly, there were not as many spectators on the field this afternoon as there were in the morning, because Sakura Country spectators were not very interested in the civil war between Chinese table tennis players, but Women's Singles had three Chinese table tennis players in the top four at this time, so there was basically no suspense, and Men's Singles had already reached the finals early.

What's more, before the game, all the media unanimously recognized that there was a gap in strength between Wang Chao and Zhu Ding, so this was most likely to be a one-sided slaughter, which was not good to watch.

The Women's Singles semi-finals were held first, and then the Women's Singles finals. In the end, the two Chinese players met without any suspense, and the older player won the championship.

At this time, the time came to 4:30 in the afternoon, and the last game of the entire T2 Sakura Country station, the Men's Singles finals, was about to begin.

Yoshikawa Dai Moku still introduced enthusiastically, and then the players from both sides came on stage.

During the routine handshake before the game, Zhu Ding whispered, "Do you want to try shaving my head?"

Wang Chao was stunned for two seconds before asking, "Are you serious?"

Zhu Ding winked at him and smiled, "What do you think?"

Wang Chao was stunned.

At this moment, he almost doubted whether the same thing as himself happened to Zhu Ding, and his body was taken over by a soul from another world.

Otherwise, why does he actually have a hint of "young people with two strokes are more happy"?

"Wang Chao should definitely win this game, right?" Lin Zijun asked Zhuang Huishen in the audience with great interest.

He was in a bad mood when he just finished playing in the morning, but after chatting with Wang Chao at noon, he confirmed that Wang Chao had no ill intentions towards him, and his mood quickly adjusted. By now, he had perfectly adjusted to the mentality of a spectator.

Zhuang Huishen nodded. "Yes."

"I'm so envious. Everyone is 18 years old, but he won the championship just after debuting, while I debuted for a month and have achieved nothing." Lin Zijun sighed, "I am really a waste."

Zhuang Huishen was choked and felt a little blocked in his heart.

What does it mean to achieve nothing? You won the silver medal, okay? You just didn't win the championship.

But, is it embarrassing not to win the championship? I've been fighting for more than 20 years and still don't have a single World Champion?

You are all trash, so who am I?

At this moment, Lao Zhuang wanted to tell Lin Zijun the truth about Wang Chao's deception as revenge and let Little Lin experience the differences in the world, but in the end he held back because he felt that the table tennis world still needs a few good people.

Let him stand in the light, let me hide in the darkness, let me carry the weight forward for Little Lin, of course, don't even think about staying away from the ruthless Jiang Peirong.

So he said, "Watch the game carefully."

"Hey!" Lin Zijun responded happily, and then said, "Senior, why don't we go back in a hurry tomorrow? It's rare to get out. How about going to Northern Hubei Province for a walk?"

Zhuang Huishen frowned and said, "What do you want to see?"

"Go and visit Black Spade Q Club." Lin Zijun said with a smile, "Although I didn't make it this time, others sincerely invited me. I was thinking, maybe I can transfer after the spring game next year."

Zhuang Huishen is very helpless.

After all, Xiaolin still wants to fight side by side with Wang Chao.

But he doesn't know that that guy is really not a good guy...

Zhuang Huishen's eyes fell back to the playing field. For some reason, he suddenly wanted Wang Chao to lose, so he shouted, "Come on Zhu Ding!"

At this time the referee blew the whistle and the final officially began.

Wang Chao guessed the coin successfully and got the right to serve.

He cautiously served a backspin shot and did not relax his vigilance because his opponent was weaker.

Zhu Ding swings back.

Wang Chao again.

Zhu Ding swings back again.

In the blink of an eye, the two have been entangled in the stage for six rounds.

There seemed to be no problem with the first ball in the game, but Wang Chao felt a strange feeling in his heart.

If the player on the opposite side puts on a mask and asks him to guess, he will never guess that it is Zhu Ding.

Zhu Ding used to be a very brutal, proactive, and impatient player. Many of his playing styles in Table Tennis First Division were unreasonable.

In the past, Zhu Ding would have eagerly taken the initiative to attack a short ball like this.

Even if he encounters a ball that must be patiently entangled, Zhu Ding will naturally reveal a temperament that can't wait to be bloodthirsty.

This temperament can be felt.

A player's desire to attack and restless mentality can be revealed from every action and detail. This is not metaphysics.

But today, Zhu Ding played too patiently. He slowly accompanied Wang Chao to fight with his calm eyes, relaxed movements, and calm attitude. It actually gave Wang Chao the feeling that Uncle Bai was playing a health ball.

In this case, Wang Chao should also stabilize his mentality and deal with him slowly.

After all, Wang Chao feels better. After a few more rounds, Zhu Ding's mentality is fine, but his hand is unsteady. The swing is short and fluctuates, slightly rising.

Wang Chao did not hesitate to pick a fight on the table.

Zhu Ding reacted very quickly, took half a step back, and pulled the ball back.

At this time, it seemed that they were evenly matched, but many experts watching the game had already sentenced Zhu Ding to death.

They have all watched Wang Chao's three-day game, and know that Wang Chao has an extremely amazing double-sided looping attack that can attack the entire Taiwan. Although he rarely kills people directly with one stroke, as long as he gets the initiative, he can launch a steady stream of multi-block attacks and use varied methods to tear apart the opponent's defense line bit by bit.

His two games with Zhu Shixian and Lin Zijun have proven that his offensive methods are extremely powerful and are difficult for top players to defend against.

Since Wang Chao has taken the initiative to challenge, it means that it is only a matter of time before Zhu Ding loses points.

Sure enough, Wang Chao began to change the line with great difficulty on the second board, and directly pulled the ball to Zhu Ding's backhand baseline at a wide angle.

Zhu Ding's physical fitness is no joke. He moved quickly, but it was too late to pull back, so he could only bring the ball back quickly.

Wang Chao plays again, and the ball reaches the bottom line of Zhu Ding's forehand position.

Zhu Ding's body stopped suddenly and turned around. He squatted very low, stretched his arms as far as possible, waved quickly, and pulled the ball over again.

But Wang Chao no longer exerted brute force. He knew that Zhu Ding's body had reached its limit during two consecutive fast-paced emergency stops and turns, so he flicked the racket and used an extremely delicate technique to lob the ball directly to Zhu Ding's backhand net.

It stands to reason that this is a sure-fire shot.

It is already an impossible task for humans to run from the extreme corner of the right-hand baseline of the table to the left-hand side of the net.

But Zhu Ding still didn't give up. He put one hand on the ground and used this force to forcefully turn back for the third time. When he ran two steps, he saw that the ball had flown out of the table and was falling, so he spun the racket and threw it away.

The ball fell, hit the flying racket, bounced up again, and climbed back onto the table from the side.

At this moment, a chorus of "Wow" rang out from the audience.

This kind of incident of throwing a racket to save a ball has been seen from time to time in competitions over the years. It is a typical dead horse treated as a living horse doctor, because there are too many uncontrollable factors, basically it has nothing to do with calculation, and it is purely luck.

For this reason, the number of times that the ball can actually be saved is very small, even in the entire history of table tennis.

But there is no doubt that once the rescue is successful, it will definitely be a famous scene.

Because this ball is even rarer than the Super Ball.

So this is actually a famous scene of Zhu Ding.

It's a pity that famous scenes do not mean winning, because Wang Chao did not relax his vigilance...

After he discovered that the ball had climbed back onto the table, he went directly around to the edge of the table and poked the ball with his racket to the other side of the table again.

Zhu Ding has given up because he even lost his racket.

1:0.

The originally lazy audience was mobilized at this moment and began to applaud enthusiastically.

Wang Chao continues to serve.

This time he tried a backhand baseline long ball.

He is not afraid of Zhu Ding's attack, because he remembers that Zhu Ding's kill is on the forehand position.

What's more, since he completed the super evolution, he has overwhelmed Zhu Ding in terms of hard power. Even if Zhu Ding really attacks, he has enough confidence to lead the situation into a stalemate and regain the advantage.

But when facing this billiard ball, Zhu Ding did not directly lift the board sideways, but chose to rub the ball back.

The ball was played very well, short and turning, and basically gave no chance.

In this case, Wang Chao calmed down again and fought against Zhu Ding.

After several more rounds, Zhu Ding rose again.

There is nothing that can be done about it. He himself is not as good as Wang Chao in terms of hand feel. His talent is "strange strength" rather than "subtlety".

Wang Chao challenged again, Zhu Ding resisted again, so after another Attacking from all sides, Zhu Ding was penetrated again.

2:0.

But the strange feeling in Wang Chao's heart became stronger.

Today's Zhu Ding was too Zhu Ding to beat.
