Liang Kunpeng directly enlarged the move at the beginning, and served directly Sneak Long Serve. The ball was very fast, as fast as thunder, and the ball landed on the Wang Chao backhand baseline.
As soon as the ball was released, Imperial Capital New City Team, the head coach Ji Qingsong, who was sitting in the coaching position on the sidelines, couldn't help but said "Hey" and patted his forehead with his hand, appearing speechless.
In fact, because Table Tennis Super League ended a week earlier than Table Tennis First Division, he spent a full week carefully thinking about how Liang Kunpeng should deal with Wang Chao.
He watched all the Wang Chao game videos that could be found on the market, carefully analyzed and compared them, trying to find some of Wang Chao's unconscious little habits when playing, as well as the small shortcomings in his technique, and then made deductions based on Liang Kunpeng's playing style, trying to find a way for Liang Kunpeng to beat Wang Chao.
In the end, he failed to find a breakthrough strategy, because Wang Chao showed amazing stability, rigor and variability in all games, so much so that Ji Qingsong actually felt that Wang Chao's style was ever-changing and impossible to define.
But he finally summed up some rules and taught them to Liang Kunpeng before the game, hoping to give Liang Kunpeng some help.
Among these rules, a very important one is: you cannot steal when playing Wang Chao.
Because Wang Chao's judgment is too advanced, which is reflected in two aspects. First, he has strong prediction ability and can guess how you are going to serve out of thin air most of the time.
The second point is that he is too good at judging your serve through the details of your small movements before you serve. When you haven't touched the ball, you just shrug your shoulders, turn your wrist, or stare somewhere, which can be used as the basis for his judgment.
To put it simply: facing Wang Chao, Sneak Long Serve will be attacked.
Ji Qingsong explained this principle clearly to Liang Kunpeng before the game, and it was recognized by Liang Kunpeng. But when the game officially started today, Liang Kunpeng did not hesitate to start Sneak Long Serve.
What can Ji Qingsong say?
I can only sigh secretly: This kid is stupid and stubborn and cannot be taught.
He coached Imperial Capital New City for one year, during which time he worked hard to correct many of Liang Kunpeng's playing habits. However, Liang Kunpeng was too stubborn. Most of the time, his words went in one ear and out the other, and he couldn't listen at all. He only wanted to play according to his own style of play.
But Ji Qingsong couldn't blame Liang Kunpeng harshly, because Liang Kunpeng's personal record this year has not been bad. The reason why Imperial Capital New City was reduced to promotion and relegation was mainly because the other two players were too poor.
Seeing the ball pass, Wang Chao had indeed stepped back in advance and made a sudden charge.
This ball only used eight points of force, but the landing point was very tricky, straight into Liang Kunpeng backhand at a wide angle.
It should be said that this is a very beautiful offense.
Winning by placement and angle, not strength, is exactly the style of Wang Chao.
Ji Qingsong couldn't stand it anymore. He vaguely felt that Liang Kunpeng was going to be beaten violently, because in terms of playing style, Liang Kunpeng, a heavy-handed player with relatively slow footsteps and super powerful strength, could easily be defeated by a player like Wang Chao who played with routes and placement once his brain couldn't keep up.
For example, this backhand position is adjusted at a large angle. Generally speaking, Liang Kunpeng has been adjusted to death.
But then Ji Qingsong's pupils expanded slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He saw that Liang Kunpeng had actually moved to the left in advance, as if he had predicted it. When the ball from Wang Chao came over, he actually stood in the far left corner of the table in advance. Without saying a word, he rushed forward with a powerful stroke.
This board directly killed Wang Chao.
With a "bang" sound, the ball hit Wang Chao's racket with such force that it shook hands. Wang Chao completely misjudged the quality of Liang Kunpeng's ball. Although he had tried hard to press the racket down, he still couldn't suppress the crazy rotation force of the ball. He watched the ball shoot up more than one meter high from the racket before falling into the dust.
1:0, Liang Kunpeng won the start.
Ji Qingsong rubbed his eyes, a little happy, but also a little scared, and secretly thought "lucky".
But he didn't know that at this moment Liang Kunpeng's eyes glanced at the players' seats, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised a proud arc.
His first ball was of course designed.
It's just that the person who completed this design with him was not Ji Qingsong, but his best friend, his most cherished partner, and one of the main players in the national team - Bai Feng.
Before the game, Bai Feng called him and vividly described the secret game between himself and Wang Chao at the national team training base.
Cai Guodong strictly prohibited the leakage of this game, but in Bai Feng's view, Liang Kunpeng cannot be considered an outsider. He is his brother, the kind who is undefended.
Upon hearing the news, Liang Kunpeng was initially desperate. "He even defeated you? Then I'm not finished?"
"No." Bai Feng was unconvinced. "The way he beat me was all a conspiracy. He won with no force and no real skills at all. I am sure that your hard power is stronger than him. Believe me, as long as you can decipher his conspiracy, you can defeat him and kill him!"
Why do we say that the following overcomes the superior?
Because Wang Chao is the first of the six dragons, and Liang Kunpeng is ranked third among the six dragons, so before the game everyone assumed that Wang Chao was the winner.
After all, Liang Kunpeng is still ranked behind Lu Feiyang, but Lu Feiyang was defeated by Zhu Ding 4:0, and Zhu Ding was defeated by Wang Chao 4:1. No matter how you look at it, this game is a pure crushing situation.
"I lost, but I also realized that when fighting Wang Chao, you can't let him lead you. You have to be fierce, the more fierce the better, because if you relax a little and let him catch his breath, he will plot against you."
Bai Feng told Liang Kunpeng confidently, "When I lost to him, I was fooled by his tricks, so after the fight, I reflected on it. I thought too much at the time and played all kinds of tricks with him, but with his tricks, who could beat him? So I later concluded that when I beat him, I had to be simple and rough!"
Liang Kunpeng was dubious. "Is this possible?"
"It can definitely work." Bai Feng said, "Just think about it, when Wang Chao chose his opponent that day, he didn't dare to choose Lin Li. He only dared to choose me. He just bullied me that the quality of the ball was not high enough. This shows that Lin Li's heavy artillery is definitely effective against him. After all, he must know his own weaknesses best, right? You happen to have the same style of play as Lin Li, and the quality of the single board is even higher than Lin Li, so wouldn't you be a loser if you hit him?"
Liang Kunpeng believed it and regarded these words as a guideline because he trusted Bai Feng more than he believed in himself.
I remember when Imperial Capital New City Team went to Shanghai to play away against Magic City Fire Phoenix. He and Bai Feng were supposed to be rivals, but they hit it off right away. After that, they talked all night long and fell asleep. They talked about life, careers, and girls. In the end, Liang Kunpeng discovered that the two of them were like twins born from the same mother. They had so much in common.
They all like pure and cute girls with long black hair and straight hair.
They both have great and extremely difficult ideals: Bai Feng wants to prove that straight play is the way to go, while Liang Kunpeng wants to prove that power play is the way to go.
They all like to eat boiled fish and snail noodles, and they also hate coriander and folded root.
They all like to watch pretty girl talent shows, and they also hate pretty boy talent shows.
They all have a hidden folder called "Study Materials" on their computer hard drives.
Even the underwear they choose are all loose-fitting at the corners.
If this were ancient times, they might have become brothers with different surnames.
But this is modern times, so they can only talk about everything and make each other their first confidant in life.
On the matter of "fighting Wang Chao", Bai Feng's theory has huge differences with Ji Qingsong.
Ji Qingsong said that you must not Sneak Long Serve when playing Wang Chao, because Sneak Long Serve will definitely be attacked.
But Bai Feng said that you must not fight against Wang Chao, because you can't beat him if you fight against Wang Chao.
Ji Qingsong said that the Wang Chao double-sided loop ball is extremely sharp and unmatched in the world. Once you are attacked, you will be beaten to death by a steady stream of combination punches.
Bai Feng said that compared to you, his attack is like the light of stars compared to the bright moon. Just let him attack. As long as you can predict the landing point in advance and then rush back hard for him, he will be unstoppable.
Ji Qingsong said that you don't have to forcefully seize the initiative in playing. As long as you take precautions carefully enough, the opponent will naturally not find an opportunity, and you will naturally gain the initiative.
Bai Feng said, however, that there is always a gap in a hundred secrets, and it is impossible to guard against him. To fight someone like Wang Chao, you have to take the initiative to attack to have a chance.
You see, the good guys and coaches are saying exactly the opposite.
Liang Kunpeng undoubtedly chooses to believe Bai Feng.
So he chose Sneak Long Serve, then predicted the landing point and rushed forward, successfully scoring the first point.
Facts have proved that good brother Bai Feng is right.
This good brother is indeed the main player of the national team. His knowledge and vision are much better than that of Ji Qingsong, a parallel import coach.
So Liang Kunpeng continued Sneak Long Serve with the second serve.
Wang Chao once again attacked sideways, but this time he did not change the line, but directly drew a diagonal line and hit the ball to the forehand baseline of Liang Kunpeng.
He thought that Liang Kunpeng would predict the position of his backhand just like before and wait in advance, but the reality was that Liang Kunpeng stood still and didn't move, so he whipped the ball over and it was right at Liang Kunpeng's hand, as if it was a gift.
Liang Kunpeng roared and charged hard, the ferocity of which made people's hearts tremble. Wang Chao took a step back and tried to pull the ball back, but the ball fell on the racket, and he immediately realized something was wrong.
This ball was so powerful that it was a shock when it hit the racket. In terms of the quality of the board, it was the best Wang Chao had ever seen in his life. Wang Chao could have pulled it through if he made a high loop, but he initially underestimated and wanted to make a heavy loop, so the ball soared into the sky from the racket again and rolled down into dust.
2:0, Liang Kunpeng scored again.
After the two balls were played, the audience cheered enthusiastically, because Wang Chao lost the two points in exactly the same way, and everyone could clearly see the posture that clearly failed to control the ball, so they all understood the powerful power of the two explosive charges of Liang Kunpeng.
More importantly, before the game, all media predicted that Wang Chao would have a huge advantage, but in the opening two goals, it was Liang Kunpeng who took advantage.
Are there any variables today?
The audience gets excited.
Liang Kunpeng was even more excited. He ran around his own half and shouted to cheer himself up.
He is under great pressure in this game because he is the only player in the team. If he loses today and Imperial Capital New City is demoted to Table Tennis First Division, he will be greatly questioned.
Even if the team's relegation really has nothing to do with him, since he holds the highest salary in the team, he must be the first to be flushed. This is only natural.
On the players' bench, Imperial Capital New City's second and third singles were also very excited. They clapped and cheered for each other. Then they wanted to clap with Ji Qingsong, but found that Ji Qingsong was still sitting in the chair with a calm expression, without any joy.
Ji Qingsong can see clearly that these two balls are just Wang Chao's first encounter with Liang Kunpeng and he is still not used to it. It doesn't explain any problems at all.
He admitted that Liang Kunpeng played these two balls very creatively, and he did not know who taught him how to do it, but he believed that this style of play was only enough to support one or two balls. If he continued to play, he would still have to use strategies and routines. No one would always use weak to attack strong, and Liang Kunpeng's single-board quality could not be compared head-on.
Wang Chao gets the right to serve.
Wang Chao also stole a fast and spinning long ball and went straight to the backhand baseline of Liang Kunpeng.
Liang Kunpeng didn't expect it, but his basic skills were quite good. Although he was a little hasty, he was still able to move half a step laterally and then take a step back. He adjusted his body position in time, threw his arms out, and made a powerful counterattack.
At this moment, a sharp light flashed in Wang Chao's eyes.
He had just seen the power of Liang Kunpeng's explosive forehand, which was amazing. He thought it would be difficult to resist, so he directly stole the backhand this time, just to try the power of Liang Kunpeng's backhand.
Generally speaking, even if a player specializes in the backhand, regardless of the quality of the board, the forehand punch must be stronger. After all, your forehand arm swing is the most consistent with the principles of human mechanics, and can even drive the whole body's strength and waist strength to throw it together. However, when you throw the backhand outward, there is no way to add body potential energy.
Therefore, the quality of Liang Kunpeng's vigorous back-breaking is related to Wang Chao's specific strategy for today's game.
He positioned himself early, turned sideways, and made a hard looping forehand.
The ball drew a perfect arc and flew over obediently, proving that although Liang Kunpeng was gifted with "strange strength", his backhand was not enough to pose a threat to Wang Chao.
Wang Chao suddenly felt confident.
Liang Kunpeng tasted the sweetness and wanted to hit the forehand, but the problem was that the ball Wang Chao was pulled at a wide angle for the backhand. He is 172 centimeters tall and weighs 150 pounds. He is a "heavyweight" player and his steps are naturally relatively slow. Facing this kind of ball, the only choices he can make are backhand tearing and backhand pulling.
As for forcing a run to the left side of the ball to hit the forehand, that is something that only a person with Extreme Speed Talent can do.
He backhanded the ball again.
Wang Chao Forehand Loop again.
Liang Kunpeng was not willing to give in. The next time he pulled the ball, he simply lost a little strength and gained a little more control, and forced a straight line.
He hopes to use this to force Wang Chao to pull the ball to his forehand position.
But what a touch and skill Wang Chao has. He steadily pulled the ball back and unswervingly hit Liang Kunpeng's backhand at a wide angle.
Liang Kunpeng changed the line again, but made a mistake and pulled the ball out of bounds, losing a point.
2:1, Wang Chao recovered one point.
Wang Chao is ready to serve the second ball.
At this time, two different voices sounded in Liang Kunpeng's mind.
Before the game, Ji Qingsong told him, "Don't get too close to the table when receiving the ball from Wang Chao, because his serve changes too much, and it is very likely to be a large angle Sneak Long Serve on either side. With your speed, you need to take half a step back from the table as a buffer before you can react."
And Bai Feng told him, "Don't step back, even half a step. Once you step back, the quality of the ball will decrease. Wang Chao can control the ball until you die."
Liang Kunpeng once again chose to believe in his good brother.
He stood close to the table, and no matter what ball Wang Chao served, he was ready to hit it as quickly as possible.
But he overestimated his reaction speed...
Wang Chao made a high throw, and then a super fast non-turning ball that went straight to the baseline.
Because it was a high throw and it didn't spin, when Wang Chao tried his best to go fast, the ball was really scary fast. The most important thing was that Liang Kunpeng subconsciously stood to the left because he felt that Wang Chao must hit his backhand, but this time Wang Chao hit his forehand at a wide angle.
Liang Kunpeng tried to save the ball as quickly as possible, but his arm swing speed was really not enough. The racket passed by and still missed.
2:2, Wang Chao tied the score.
Ji Qingsong's expression remained calm, and he just sighed silently.
He knew the game was over.
He once carefully read Wang Chao's game and tried to put himself into Wang Chao's opponent to make predictions. Then he discovered that Wang Chao was actually calculating all the time when playing, not only calculating the opponent's technical loopholes, but also calculating the opponent's psychology.
He didn't know how amazing the calculations between Wang Chao and Bai Feng were in the secret battle, but he was still convinced that Wang Chao was the kind of little silver coin that could calculate even the weakest players from beginning to end.
Now, Wang Chao saw the flaw in Liang Kunpeng's backhand quality in the third ball, and saw the flaw in Liang Kunpeng's insufficient movement speed and swing speed in the fourth ball.
For a duel between top players, one flaw is enough to be fatal, let alone two?
Ji Qingsong looked at Wang Chao's somewhat thin figure from afar, and vaguely seemed to see Sun Tianlong back then.
