Today, this crucial city derby finally came to the final decider, Wu Li vs Ma Angxing.
This is a head-to-head confrontation between the new forces of both teams, and to a certain extent, it also represents the future development potential of the two teams.
The referee came out and tossed a coin. Ma Angxing guessed correctly and got the right to serve.
At this moment, Ma Angxing is full of confidence.
He is also a person who is very good at making targeted strategies. When he faced Wang Chao for the first time, he spent all night studying the video of Wang Chao. Although he lost, it was because Wang Chao made a strange move and used raw rubber particles to disgust people.
This time facing Wang Chao, he still did extremely rigorous research, but research was just research. Faced with too strong hard power, even if he knew how to fight, he still couldn't defeat him.
But for Wu Li, he has at least 80% confidence.
Wu Li's only advantage over him is strength, nothing more.
Whether it is the transition between forehand and backhand, the diversity of techniques, the control of the ball on the table, or the judgment of spin, he is far ahead.
What's more, Wu Li definitely can't be said to be smart when it comes to playing basketball. It actually takes the path of playing steadily and adding quality to the board, while Ma Angxing takes the path of playing with your brain.
His teacher Wang Lu told him clearly that playing with the brain is more effective than playing with the body.
Facing Wang Chao, his brain couldn't express it.
Now facing Wu Li, he must let the entire audience see his smart Yazi.
The game begins.
Ma Angxing serves directly Sneak Long Serve, but what is stolen is not the conventional backhand position, but the forehand position at a wide angle.
He was calculated from the beginning.
When they first played doubles, Wu Li ran to the left regardless of the purpose, with the purpose of giving the whole Taiwan a forehand. So Ma Angxing judged that Wu Li's forehand was much more powerful than its backhand, so this time, Wu Li would still subconsciously run to the left.
After all, habits formed by long-term exercise are not easy to correct.
Then if you hit your forehand at a wide angle, you can create a big gap and score directly.
At this moment, Ma Angxing directly targeted Wu Li as the second main player of the national team, Fang Xiaobo. Fang Xiaobo happens to be the most forehand player in Taiwan who holds the racket horizontally, and is often directly stolen from the forehand from a wide angle.
Even Fang Xiaobo can be stolen to death, but can Wu Li be stolen to death?
Ma Angxing thought very well, and his judgment was correct. Wu Li subconsciously leaned to the left, but when he found the ball flying to the right, he kicked the ground hard with his left leg. Even the rubber floor under the stage was slightly deformed, which showed how powerful he was. Then his body made an astonishing emergency stop and changed direction. He actually completed the position before the ball came, and even stabilized his center of gravity.
Then he charged forward without hesitation.
If you hit the billiard ball with topspin from the forehand position, it's almost the same as feeding the ball if you don't have a gap.
Ma Angxing felt annoyed, knowing that he had fallen into a passive position, but from the bottom of his heart he did not want to admit that he had made a miscalculation.
Because he guessed correctly, Wu Li did move to the left first. In this case, he should naturally take the initiative to attack.
But Wu Li relied on his bull-like body to forcefully defeat his plan, which is called unreasonable.
Ma Angxing didn't dare to fight Wu Li with brute force, and didn't want to retreat, so he could only rely on his hand to push the ball back.
His touch is actually good, but after all, he has not reached the level of Wang Chao and others. In addition, Wu Li's offensive power is strong enough, so this ball is a bit risky to hit.
Wu Li did not hesitate and charged again.
Ma Angxing was beaten so hard that his whole body became tense. He concentrated to the limit and stared at the ball that was spinning fast. He still couldn't pull him away and could only continue to fight.
This time he still got through, but the ball was higher, and he didn't care about the spin at all. In fact, he was able to catch two powerful blasts in a row, which means he has extremely quick reactions and strong control.
But Wu Li exploded for the third time.
As mentioned before, since International Table Tennis Federation crazy changed the rules, changed the size of the table tennis balls, and changed the material of the table tennis balls, it has become more and more difficult to kill people with a sideways charge. However, in fact, a premise is ignored here, that is: continuous full-power sideways charge can still kill people.
It's just that athletes' physical strength and balance have limits. Full-out sprinting will definitely overdraw their strength and destroy their balance. Therefore, there is a basic consensus in the table tennis community about continuous sprinting: no more than three boards.
After three boards, if the opponent does not die, then your own balance will be gone, and your strength will not be able to keep up. You will be at the end of your strength and will not be able to penetrate Lu Jian.
But Wu Li rushed through the three boards, each one harder than the last, but his feet were always steady and he didn't even take a breath.
Ma Angxing's scalp was numb from the pressure. It felt as if someone was hitting him with a mountain. He gritted his teeth and held on, looking for traces of the ball. But this time he really didn't dare to fight because his control was almost completely out of control in the first two pushes.
He could only retreat, and he took three steps back. When the ball slowed down a little, he barely managed to pull it over in a high loop.
The ball was pulled over, and he let out a breath, feeling relieved.
He was sure that Wu Li could no longer charge forward. Even if he still wanted to attack, he could only choose to pull the ball with a relatively weak force, or simply move close to the table at a wide angle and do some tricks.
But Wu Li is not a person who plays tricks. He rushed forward without saying a word.
This board is definitely not weaker than the first three boards.
Ma Angxing really couldn't stop it this time. His steps had already been loose and his body was swaying. Seeing the ball coming at him as fast as a meteor, he had no time to raise his racket. With a "pop" sound, the ball hit the handle of his racket directly and flew diagonally far away.
1:0.
In Ma Angxing's serving round, when everyone was optimistic about Ma Angxing, it was Wu Li who took the lead by relying on continuous violent attacks.
In the audience, Jiang Tiansheng's expression changed slightly.
Just from this one ball, he could see that Wu Li, who had just been brutally beaten by Wang Chao for more than thirty minutes, not only was not defeated, but was in excellent condition.
This ball is the most typical tactic of using force to defeat skill, not too Gao Ming.
But being able to defeat skill with strength can prove that Wu Li has an extremely strong desire to win, which has not been diminished at all by Wang Chao's beating.
Ma Angxing gets the ball back.
This time, he sent a short backspin steadily.
He still didn't want to admit that the first ball was a strategic issue, but he at least acknowledged that Wu Li's physical fitness was exaggerated, so he should use his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Serve the ball short, force the opponent to fight short on the table, and then use your better skills to get offensive opportunities. This is the simplest but clearest way to win.
With the current level of strength of him and Wu Li, there can't be many fancy tactical changes, because both sides don't have many weapons at their disposal. Therefore, the clearer and clearer the tactics, the better the tactics.
As long as the other party can't crack it, you can keep using it.
Wu Li can only swing back.
Ma Angxing again.
Wu Li swings back again.
Ma Angxing is still there.
In fact, with his control, he can put the forehand position close to the table, the backhand position close to the table, the forehand position to the bottom line, the backhand position to the bottom line, or slice it sideways, or rub it lightly. He has various ways to hit the ball to different positions.
But he didn't want to use any of them.
He only hit the landing point near the center of the stage and quietly waited for Wu Li to reveal its flaws.
Wu Li was indeed unsteady and showed a flaw in the sixth round, placing the ball slightly higher and slightly closer to the forehand position.
This is an excellent pick position.
Ma Angxing did not hesitate to step forward to challenge.
He still implements his own style. He does not pursue a one-shot kill when playing, but pursues an offensive rhythm with just the right amount of power while fully controlling his body.
This board is not too explosive, but the placement is tricky and the speed is very fast, going straight to the Wu Li backhand baseline.
He just wants to force Wu Li to step down.
Ma Angxing is not good at strength, but he has a good rhythm and full control. As long as Wu Li dares to step back from the stage to catch the ball, he will hit one block after another. Because the force is very measured, he will not lose his balance, so his attacks will be continuous, never giving Wu Li a chance to counterattack. In this case, if he hits the middle stage from close to the table, he will always have a block that can kill someone.
That's what he thought.
Wu Li has indeed withdrawn from the stage.
Because if he did not retreat from the table, Wu Li did not have the confidence to use his backhand to twist such a fast and long ball directly back from the table.
But Wu Li did not retreat to defend the ball with his backhand, but retreated directly from the big movement. He was as fast as a gust of wind, and actually retreated directly to the left corner of the table.
The ball then appeared on his forehand.
He stood still, waved his arm, and made a direct forehand pull.
Ma Angxing I feel like scolding my mother at this moment...
Is there anyone who plays ball like this?
Can this ball be caught with a forehand?
It only makes sense that you have to catch it with your backhand.
What you are doing is completely unconventional.
Only Wang Chao could not help but laugh out loud at this moment as he watched from the player stand.
He was thinking that before the game all the fishing boats were talking about the control style of Ma Angxing and the brute force style of Tianke Wu Li.
But I'm afraid no one would have thought that it was Ma Angxing who was really defeated, right?
The conflict between each other on the table tennis court actually depends on the specific situation. Just like water can extinguish fire, but it cannot extinguish forest fires. Fire can boil a kettle dry, but it cannot burn the ocean.
Ma Angxing's style of play can indeed defeat the average brute force player, but the problem is, Wu Li is not an ordinary brute force player.
He is a physical monster and a robot.
If Ma Angxing's offense can be fully exerted, Wu Li will definitely have no time to move, but the problem is that Ma Angxing likes to play control too much, and even the strength of the attack is controlled just right. In this way, the power of the ball is not enough, and the speed is not enough. Others cannot outrun the ball speed, but Wu Li happens to be able to outrun the ball speed of Ma Angxing.
When he moves faster than the ball, it breaks the boundary of mutuality.
No matter what, at this time Ma Angxing must be prepared to continue to face the explosion even if he is scolding his mother in his heart.
Facing Wu Li's forehand pull with all his strength, Ma Angxing still couldn't pull the ball because he couldn't control the spin of the ball. He had only two choices, either to step back from the table and pull the ball, or to push and block close to the table.
He still chose to push and block.
But his push and block was still not good enough to deal with Wu Li's high-quality attack.
There is nothing we can do about this.
For things like touch, four points depend on practice, six points depend on talent. Ma Angxing's talent is not bad, and his touch is also delicate, but when he encounters a ball that is too explosive, he really can't control it.
So Wu Li once again got the opportunity to rush.
A blast.
Block back.
The second board exploded.
Block back.
The third board exploded.
Beat to death.
2:0.
Ma Angxing was beaten so hard that he didn't understand why the person opposite him didn't abide by the basic rules of the table tennis world.
Can sideways dash be used like this?
Aren't you going to feel tired?
Is your body completely unbalanced?
If every player can make such a continuous explosion, then what is the meaning of the iron law that the new generation players will not retire?
Ma Angxing follows the rules very much when playing. It was precisely because of the rules that he was tricked by Wang Chao in the doubles. Now he no longer follows the rules, but his thinking mode has not changed, so when the opponent does not follow the rules, his judgment begins to become messy.
Wu Li gets the right to serve.
He directly serves a long ball from the baseline.
Ma Angxing has a unique advantage in judging the serve. He directly predicted the success and stepped back from the stage to hit a hard looping ball.
Ma Angxing was very frustrated because he felt that it was wrong to step down, but he was directly forced to step down, so this ball was probably going to suffer.
But in fact, he hit the ball crookedly.
Because Wu Li actually has problems when dealing with high-quality offensive balls.
