Wang Bo Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then his whole body trembled.

He suddenly figured it out.

The two of them have been strictly guarding against Wang Chao, but in fact, the main attacker today was not Wang Chao, but Wu Li.

Wang Chao can indeed find offensive opportunities, but because the opportunities are not very good, the offense will have a turnover rate, so he chooses to take advantage of the opportunity to take the initiative and provide Wu Li with the ball.

He has the best touch in the game. When he plays the ball, neither Ma Angxing nor Wang Bo can resolve it at all.

This essentially amounts to expanding a small opportunity into a big opportunity.

And when the ball is done well enough, there is basically no possibility of mistakes in Wu Li blast.

Isn't this situation exactly the same as last year when Wang Chao took Lu Jia to fight Table Tennis First Division?

Wu Li is an enhanced and violent version of Lu Jia. His skills are not that delicate, but his strength is sufficient. He just showed off his super physical fitness by running like crazy and stopping in an instant. His cooperation with Wang Chao is not so much cooperation as it is that he has become the tool man under Wang Chao, responsible for exerting force, responsible for running to death, and responsible for all kinds of strenuous work.

And Wang Chao is the commander behind the scenes. His movements are elegant, slow and slow, and he perfectly preserves his physical strength.

Wang Chao is responsible for controlling the ball and making plays, while Wu Li is responsible for crazy offense.

If there is any difference between Wu Li and Lu Jia, it is that Wu Li has stronger offensive ability and does not need Wang Chao to create good conditions for him.

Moreover, Lu Jia is a left-handed player, which makes Wang Chao have to use his right hand, which he is not good at.

While Wu Li is a right-handed general, Wang Chao happens to use his left hand, which he is good at. He can use his full firepower and fully utilize his delicate touch characteristics.

Facts have proved that Ma Angxing's advantage in catching the ball is useless, because Wang Chao does not rely on serving to score at all. He only needs to play with the ball a little to create opportunities for Wu Li, and Wu Li, a violent element, will simply and violently charge again and again.

It's that simple.

At this moment, Xiao Guohua behind the baffle also understood. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and leaned back, feeling relieved.

It turns out that the second shoe I have been waiting for does not exist.

It turns out that Wang Chao, a little silver coin, didn't want to play dirty today. He played just like Hong Kong Open, playing an upright crushing game...

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Guohua felt a little desperate while feeling relaxed.

The reason why he made crazy guesses about how Wang Chao would play this doubles match was actually because he felt that both sides were evenly matched and needed to use tactics to win.

But now he found out he was wrong.

He still underestimated Wang Chao's ability.

It turns out that when Wang Chao fights Super League in doubles, there is no need to think about those fancy tactics.

At least there is no need for any tactics when dealing with this temporary pairing of your own team.

He played Table Tennis Super League just like he played Table Tennis First Division last year. He still relied on his own ability to directly lead his partner in a simple and crude way.

The opponent has become stronger, his partner has become stronger, and he himself has become stronger, so he can still lead him.

The next battle also confirmed his suspicion.

The fourth ball Ma Angxing returned to serve with short backspin. Wu Li still ran directly to the left. After discovering that it was short backspin, he continued to show his abnormal physique. He actually ran back directly before the ball fell and made a steady short swing.

Then Wang Bo swung short, Wang Chao directly challenged Ma Angxing, forcing Ma Angxing to step back and pull a high loop ball, and Wu Li seized the opportunity and charged with another board, killing him directly.

From the beginning to the end, Wu Li was short once, and the rest were all bursts.

This style of play really doesn't require a long time of practice and running-in, it's just a simple and rough play.

Only Wu Li's idea of running to the left at the beginning is puzzling to everyone.

But it's actually because Wang Chao told him before the game, "I only have one request for you in this doubles match, and that is to have a full forehand. If the ball is in the backhand position, then run until it becomes a forehand position. Also, after catching the ball, immediately step back and give me all the space... can you do it?"

The reason why he requested this was because Wu Li's backhand was not as powerful as his forehand. When facing an opponent of Table Tennis Super League's level, it would be difficult to kill someone.

But there is no problem with the forehand. The power of Wu Li is enough, the basic skills are very solid, and there is no possibility of mistakes in the explosive charge. This forehand board is very lethal even if it is used to play in international competitions.

In fact, Wang Chao's style of play is quite selfish. He is equivalent to occupying the entire table. Wu Li can only step forward when receiving the ball. At other times, he can directly retreat. It is equivalent to not having any share of the table at all.

If it is compared to a group of people eating, then Wu Li is the servant who is not even qualified to serve at the table. He can only stand by, holding a bowl, and occasionally go to the table to pick up some food.

Fighting like this requires Wu Li to have unparalleled super physical strength. He can't run to death, fight without getting tired, make crazy emergency stops, and change directions crazily. He is not like a partner, but like a coolie, Ox-Horse.

But there is no way, after all, the two of them have never cooperated before. If they really want to stand in front of the stage and follow the conventional doubles approach, there is a 100% chance that you will hit me and I will hit you. If the other party stares at a spot, they will suffer concussions.

Facts have proved that Wang Chao's tactics are effective. Wu Li perfectly executed Wang Chao's unkind orders and achieved excellent actual combat effects.

When the first game ended, the score was 11:5, Spade Q won, and the audience in the audience applauded wave after wave, extremely excited.

This time, the object of their applause was really not Wang Chao, but Wu Li, because everyone could see that Spade Q, this year's new player, was so damn perverted. The energy consumed in this round was probably enough for others to play ten rounds.

What the audience likes most are players with such distinctive characteristics.

Jiang Tiansheng in the stands did not applaud, his mood was very subtle.

He didn't know whether he should scold or praise him.

According to his opinion, player Wu Li should never act like a bully. This is really a bit disrespectful.

But reason told him that this style of play was right, because there really was no tacit understanding between Wang Chao and Wu Li. Even Wu Li's behavior of running to the left every time he kicked off was very rigid and had not changed from beginning to end.

Jiang Tiansheng can naturally see that this is an agreed-upon tactic. He just feels a little upset. It feels a bit like a precious blue and white porcelain vase that he has always cherished and cared for and feared any wear and tear. Someone uses it as a brick to hit someone. However, this porcelain vase is thick and hard, both hit and wear-resistant. The effect of hitting people is really good.

He didn't want to read anymore because he thought it was very eye-catching. He secretly swore that if Spade Q dared to use the blue and white porcelain vase Wu Li as a brick when Spade Q beat Shandong Province Power Club four days later, he would settle old and new accounts with Fan Xiaofan.

But in the end, he pinched his nose and sat back down, because he thought that Wu Li might have a singles match later.

You're here now, so no matter how annoying it is, just finish it before leaving.

In the next second game, the order of receiving and serving was adjusted as usual. Wang Chao received the ball from Ma Angxing, and Wu Li received the ball from Wang Bo.

But the situation did not change much.

Ma Angxing's ball was too soft. Although he had a rigorous playing style and a high golf quotient, the quality of the ball was not even as good as Wu Li's. So in this round, Wang Chao changed his style and directly took the initiative when facing Ma Angxing's ball.

However, Wang Chao's offense was a little too much for Wang Bo, so he reluctantly returned the ball again and again, returning the ball high again and again, and then Wu Li continued to simply and crudely rush, rush, and rush again.

If only Wu Li was the main attacker in the first game, then in this game, after the exchange of receivers, even Wang Chao started to attack.

The two of them, one with a left hand and one with a right hand, are very suitable partners. When both of them started to attack, the situation became even worse and they couldn't stop it.

So the second game went straight to 11:2.

At this point, Jiangcheng University Team has basically lost his desire to fight.

To be precise, Wang Bo lost his will to fight.

That's what veterans are like. When they feel they have a chance, they can do whatever they can, but when they find that nothing can be done, they will immediately choose to lie down.

Once he lay down, Ma Angxing's fighting spirit was meaningless.

So just twelve minutes later, the third and fourth games were played. In the end, the Spade Q doubles team had zero opponents and won the third game.

At this point, Wang Chao, as the ace of Spade Q, has also completed all his matches today.

In the next two games, we can only look at the performance of our teammates.

Five minutes later, the host came out and announced the roster for the next match. Both teams were very nervous at this moment.

Spade Q played Geng Shuai in the fourth game. They were eager for the opponent to play Ma Angxing. In this case, Geng Shuai directly won Ma Angxing, and the game ended successfully.

But if the opponent plays Duan Changying, then Geng Shuai is basically impossible to win, which means that the two sides will play a decisive game. The last game will be Wu Li versus Ma Angxing, so the outcome is really unpredictable.

In fact, it is Spade Q's own opinion that the outcome is unpredictable. As for the outside media and forum experts, it has long been unanimously recognized that Wu Li cannot beat Ma Angxing.

After all, Wu Li has no record before. In the game with Magic City Fire Phoenix a week ago, he also played a mess. On the contrary, Ma Angxing has actually performed well in the past six months. First of all, he has achieved very good results in the season with Table Tennis First Division., and then was selected into new generation Six Dragons, and then selected into the national team, and was accepted as a disciple by Coach Wang Lu. All these signs indicate that Ma Angxing will become a National Table Tennis Team First Team player in the future, and his potential must exceed Wu Li.

At this time, the matchup information has been released, Geng Shuai vs Duan Changying.

The members of both sides, who were originally very nervous, fell silent at the same time after seeing the lineup, and did not show any expressions of sadness or joy.

Jiangcheng University is naturally happy. After all, they have a slightly higher winning rate against them. However, considering that the "coach" Wang Chao has not made any surprise moves yet, they dare not celebrate in advance, fearing that they will be slapped in the face one after another like the European fans these days.

As for Spade Q, although they know that the next two games will be at a disadvantage, in order to boost morale, they naturally have to try their best to look like they have a "very good chance".

Geng Shuai came on the stage, high-spirited and ready for a fight to the death.

Wang Chao didn't watch the game. He said hello to Wu Li and went directly to practice on the empty table next to him.

Fan Xiaoxian was extremely surprised and asked, "Is it necessary?"

Of course she didn't ask this out of nowhere.

Table tennis players need to warm up before the official competition. This is the same as track and field athletes who must move their ankles and press their legs in place before running. But warm-up is just a warm-up after all. You only need to let your body move and get used to the feeling of touching the ball. It does not mean that you have to fight to the death and be exhausted and sweating profusely.

Therefore, a correct warm-up only takes five or six minutes. Athletes usually estimate an approximate time based on the trend of the previous game and warm up accordingly.

As for Wu Li, because he had just played the third game, his body was already active and he did not need to warm up at all.

But Wang Chao had a firm attitude and replied to her with a smile, "It's necessary."

The two of them went to the table next door and started practicing. It was obviously not an official game, but it actually attracted a lot of attention.

In the final analysis, it is because this behavior is indeed abnormal, and Wang Chao, as the player with the biggest cards in the field at this time, naturally receives more attention.

So even Jiang Tiansheng said softly "Hey" and subconsciously focused his attention here.
