At this point in the game, Wang Chao himself looked calm, but the Chinese table tennis bosses in the audience behind him were afraid to watch anymore.
Judging from the content, if Wang Chao insists on playing like this, I am afraid that what will greet him today will be a disastrous defeat.
Although Bayer's hard power is strong, strictly speaking, it is only half a step ahead of Wang Chao at most. The reason why he can achieve such a disparity in the final analysis is due to his comprehensive tactical restraint.
He has calculated almost all the details and habits of Wang Chao when he plays, and he has found ways to use them wherever they can be used. This level of prediction and targeting involves a lot of calculations and research behind it. The workload is far beyond imagination. In any case, it is not something that a mere player can complete in just one afternoon.
The big guys have already vaguely guessed the alliance of the European legions. Otherwise, German Table Tennis Association's head coach Rohlskov alone would not be enough to formulate such a detailed strategy.
Because Rohlskov is actually a coach who prefers overall strategic layout, and detailed research is actually more of the Swedish Table Tennis Association's strengths.
At the end of his career, Old Wa had lost all his physical strength. He relied solely on this extremely detailed tactical targeting, combined with his unparalleled delicate touch, to create countless incredible magic balls and win countless games. This good habit of his has since become Swedish Table Tennis Association's good habit.
As for England head coach, he was not famous before, but his ability to coach Pike shows that he is also a rising coaching star.
Qin Huachang felt his heartbeat was a little fast. He quickly took out a small bottle from his arms and poured two white pills into it. Just as he was about to put away the pill bottle, he saw a hand reaching out from beside him, but it was Zhu Zeshi.
Qin Huachang smiled bitterly and carefully poured two pills into Zhu Zeshi's hand. He looked at Cai Guodong again and found that Cai Guodong was unscrewing the cap of the mineral water bottle and drinking water.
If nothing else, the head coach should have taken the medicine one step ahead.
"It shouldn't be..." Qin Huachang couldn't help but mutter again, "The 10 seconds he just closed his eyes had no effect at all?"
Another ball passed and the score became 6:2, Wang Chao scored one point.
But this point does not solve the problem, because Bayer just missed Wang Chao's serve.
There are always unexpected factors in the game. Wang Chao's serve is his strength. Bayer suffered a backspin because of his excessive pursuit of control. This is normal.
Bayer got the right to serve and sent a short backspin.
He still wanted to try to fight short, after all, the ball just now didn't really determine the outcome.
Wang Chao swings back.
Bayer swings back.
Wang Chao again.
Bayer swing again.
The ball was slightly higher again. Wang Chao took off the board again and hit it with all his strength with his forehand.
Bayer Pull the ball back.
Wang Chao changes the line to pull the ball.
Bayer Pull back.
Wang Chao pull again.
Bayer changes the line and pulls it back.
Wang Chao twisted a difficult and wide angle baseline with his backhand.
Bayer quickly moved sideways to save the ball, but his foot speed couldn't keep up. He had no choice but to straighten his arms and barely pull up a high hanging arc.
Wang Chao subconsciously turned sideways, but only halfway through the action, he quickly restored it, placed the racket in advance where the racket bounced, and flicked it gently.
At this moment, Bayer on the opposite side was making an outrageous move. He took two steps back and took a stance.
But what greeted him was not Wang Chao's sideways charge, but a short ball from a wide angle.
Bayer did not save anymore and allowed the ball to fall from the side of his own table.
6:3.
At this moment, Wang Chao finally got the first point of the day based on his ability.
At this moment, low laughter came from the audience, and even Bayer himself couldn't help laughing.
Obviously, he wanted to predict a Wang Chao's explosive charge like the second ball, and take the opportunity to lead the situation into a stalemate at the far end. However, Wang Chao overcame the inertial reaction of muscle memory at the last moment, forced himself to stop the action, and replaced the explosive charge with a short lob.
Wang Chao himself also breathed out quietly at this moment, only feeling that his tense emotions were slightly relieved.
When he closed his eyes for those 10 seconds, what he actually needed to adjust was not his state or mentality, but his thoughts.
His condition has always been fine and his mentality is very stable. Although the score is behind, his attitude is firm and has not wavered at all.
He just sorted through the few balls he had just played in those short 10 seconds.
He doesn't think the offense was wrong.
He also knows that he can imitate Sun Tianlong's playing style to beat Bayer. Moreover, he is confident that he can imitate Sun Tianlong's playing style with at least nine points of charm and use it to defeat Bayer, with at least 80% certainty.
But he can't do that.
Because the opponent in his mind has never been Bayer, but this year's Sun Tianlong, and this year's Luo Jiu.
If Sun Tianlong is used to defeat Bayer, then how should he fight when he stands in front of Sun Tianlong in the future?
Use the counterfeit playing style you learned to defeat the real owner Sun Tianlong?
Isn't this just Li Gui beating Li Kui?
As the saying goes, "Those who learn from me will live, those who resemble me will die." If he doesn't want to be stepped on by Sun Tianlong forever, he must come up with something of his own.
This set of things will be used to defeat Sun Tianlong in the future, so of course it should be used to defeat Bayer, "Little Sun Tianlong" today.
So he is not afraid of losing, because he is always trying and making mistakes.
He found that there were actually many flaws in his seemingly meticulous style of play. However, the opponents he had encountered before were not strong enough and did not target him well enough, so he could not find these flaws.
But Bayer found it and taught Wang Chao a profound lesson.
He had never known before that there were details of his movements in advance before he picked the ball, and these details could be observed and predicted.
Bayer observed this detail, retreated from the stage in advance, predicted in advance, and pulled him into a heavy arc to increase the angle and change the line.
So he lost the first ball.
He used to think that once he truly enters Taiwan's offensive mode, he can do whatever he wants, no matter how he plays, including turning sideways and rushing out of the billiard ball at any time.
But Bayer predicted in advance, retreated in advance, and pulled out a high-quality ultra-long-distance forehand heavy arc, forcing him to enter the unfamiliar stalemate stage at the mid-range stage.
So he lost the second ball.
He believes that the meaning of fighting is to force the opponent to make mistakes, find the opponent's weaknesses, and then launch an attack to seek the initiative.
But Bayer took advantage of the situation, pretending to make mistakes, creating loopholes, predicting in advance, and taking advantage of his characteristics of being too reluctant and lacking in power to catch him off guard with his backhand.
So he lost the sixth point.
These lost points are extremely valuable spiritual wealth for Wang Chao.
No wonder there is a saying that the person who knows a person best is always his opponent.
In fact, even He Jingping didn't see these flaws in Wang Chao's playing style, but Bayer helped him find them with the cooperation of coaches from all over Europe.
So Wang Chao had the opportunity to correct the flaws in his play style.
When Bayer once again tried to lure Wang Chao to hit a forehand, Wang Chao learned to change his thinking and simply made a single move, which made Bayer, who was smart enough to predict in advance, suffer a dumb loss.
This represents his growth.
But this is not enough.
Because he knows that there must be many hidden dangers in his playing style. These hidden dangers may not be discovered by his own authorities in his lifetime.
But Bayer must win for the glory of all Europe today.
So Bayer will show everything he analyzed.
What he demonstrated is hard to find and a true treasure of experience for Wang Chao.
So until now, Wang Chao has made a huge profit.
What's more important is the tremendous pressure Bayer puts on Wang Chao.
Personal honor, national honor, battle of ideas, tactical choices, from yesterday to today, Wang Chao noticed the dignified atmosphere within the coaching staff, as well as the invisible gap between other coaches and teacher He Jingping.
He asked He Jingping last night, but He Jingping reassured him and asked him to play well.
So Wang Chao knew that he was not the only one bearing the pressure.
But he was not afraid of pressure, but rather excited.
Because he knows what kind of pressure each generation of Huaping Great Demon King has endured, and because he traveled through time and was born out of nowhere, the pressure he encountered was actually not enough. This made his willpower not strong enough, and his mentality may not be stable when he is at a disadvantage.
It happened that at this time, I encountered the reality of the collective defeat of the Chinese table tennis players, and I met the strongest player in Europe, Bayer.
This is an opportunity.
In the eyes of the Huaping coaching staff, Bayer, who seems to be indestructible and far ahead, is actually the best whetstone in the eyes of Wang Chao.
In ancient times, Wang Wendong grinded Sun Tianlong. Once he showed his sharpness, he suppressed the table tennis world for seven years.
Today Wang Chao also wants to follow suit and use Bayer's hands to sharpen his own knife.
In a sense, this is an opportunity that he will never encounter again in the future.
In the Table Tennis First Division arena, he used the pressure of Zhu Ding and the tearing clothes of Brother Geng to complete a once-in-a-lifetime super evolution.
And today will be his second super evolution.
The significance of this matter is far greater than a mere Hong Kong Open championship title.
Three minutes later, Wang Chao lost the first game, with the final score of 11:5.
He walked back to the fence and slowly took two bites of the banana, appearing very quiet.
He Jingping didn't say anything tactical to him, he just patted him on the shoulder and simply said "Come on".
Wang Chao nodded, deliberately not looking at the row of bosses behind He Jingping.
He knew that as long as he looked over, someone would rush to give him advice, but he didn't need it.
One minute later, Wang Chao returned to the field.
This time it was his turn to serve first.
He opted for a short underspin.
Bayer swing is short.
Wang Chao continues to swing short.
After a few rounds, Bayer returned the ball high, and Wang Chao took the ball without hesitation and took the shot directly from the table.
Bayer still had some predictions, didn't take a step back, moved his body forward, held the racket upright in front of him, and struck straight forward.
He couldn't hit the ball like this if it was a backspin or topspin shot, but because it was a hard shot, he used Wang Chao's power and his own initiative to successfully hit a super-fast return ball, beating Wang Chao to death again, and got a good start.
1:0.
In fact, when facing this kind of high ball close to the table, many people will choose to shoot hard, because the ball shot in this way is faster than pulling the ball and picking the ball, but the disadvantage is that it does not spin.
This can no longer be said to be a flaw, it can only be said that both options have their own pros and cons, but based on the overly detailed analysis yesterday afternoon, with the help of a certain data analysis software provided by coach England, they simply analyzed that the probability of Wang Chao hitting the ball directly in this situation is as high as 75%, while the possibility of picking or pulling the ball adds up to only 25%.
So Bayer bet that Wang Chao would shoot hard, and therefore chose the most appropriate way to counterattack.
Facts have proved that anyone's play style can be countered. As long as you can predict correctly, you can counterattack in a targeted manner.
Therefore, Wang Chao was forced not only to ensure the stability of his technique, but also to overcome his deep-rooted habits when playing.
He began to become more flexible, more unconventional, anti-thinking, and more unconstrained step by step.
Although the offensive system He Jingping taught him is good, there are still traces to be followed. Only if he makes many contrary changes based on this system can he truly be an antelope with no traces.
In fact, this is the highest level in the true technical sense. To use a martial arts saying, it is called No moves are better than any move.
The game is still in full swing, and European fans are still celebrating in waves. The topic on the European forum has changed from "Can Bayer win?" to "How should we celebrate this unprecedented moment?"
Because they felt they had a chance to win, the European major leagues quickly collapsed. The Swedes began to show their merit and said, "Bayer can win mainly because our Swedish head coach has thoroughly understood Wang Chao's behavioral habits." The Germans said, "No matter how good the tactics are, they need perfect players to execute them." As for the England people, they said, "Any behavior that ignores data and talks about tactics is hooliganism."
Everyone was partying, except Bayer.
Being in the middle of the game, only Bayer can deeply feel that it is becoming more and more difficult for him to play.
He found himself encountering a monster.
This monster is constantly repairing its flaws at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming more perfect and harder to detect.
