After hanging up the phone, Wang Chao felt a little proud.
In fact, even if Cai Guodong doesn't make any promises, he will definitely go, because his goal this year is to go straight to Olympic Games, so his record must be brilliant, otherwise why would he bother to find opportunities to head-on against Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong?
Cai Guodong thought he just wanted to gain points and not bear the pressure of winning the championship, but in fact, he must rush to win the championship every time he goes out.
Under this premise, by pretending to be in trouble, Fan Xiaodong, who has not yet debuted, was deceived into helping. Wang Chao thought it was worth it.
After all, every player's debut game is very important and requires a lot of choices, and the debut game of an important player like Fan Xiaodong must be done even more carefully. He can make Cai Guodong agree, which is really something to be proud of.
On the other side, Cai Guodong hung up the phone, smiled at Sun Tianlong and Qin Huachang who were sitting opposite him, and said, "Interesting."
He really found it interesting.
Because there is actually no need to request Wang Chao, Fan Xiaodong will definitely go to Swedish Open.
Master and apprentice Sun Tianlong and Qin Huachang went straight to Tianfu City after playing ball in the morning. They came all the way to see him just to tell him two things in person.
First, Wang Chao replaced Sun Tianlong in Sweden.
Second, Fan Xiaodong officially debuted in Swedish Open.
Cai Guodong completely understands what the master and apprentice mean.
Sun Tianlong is a hero, but he is not square. He made a mistake in judgment and failed to suppress Wang Chao. Instead, he suffered a huge loss and paid an extremely painful price. Although this is the inheritance of Huaping, he does not regret it, but if there is an opportunity, he would like to see a small revenge and rectify Wang Chao.
The way to retaliate against Wang Chao is to send Fan Xiaodong.
This means that Sun Tianlong and Qin Huachang both recognize the strength of Fan Xiaodong and believe that this 15-year-old boy who became a monk midway is enough to pose a threat to Wang Chao. In addition, Wang Chao is not familiar with Fan Xiaodong's current state and play style, so once they meet, they may even capsize in the gutter.
But Wang Chao didn't even want Xiao Fei, who was ranked second in the world, but named Fan Xiaodong, which obviously recognized the strength of Fan Xiaodong.
This makes Cai Guodong really curious. After all, Fan Xiaodong's special training is too closed. Even he, the head coach, has never seen it. He only occasionally heard Liu Shu, the old sparring partner at the base, and Zhu Ding, the new sparring partner, mention it occasionally. They both said that they were quite tired from playing.
He used to only think that Fan Xiaodong and Lu Feiyang were equally powerful, but now it seems that this little guy from Liancheng City has power that is completely beyond his imagination?
After that, there was no words for the whole night. When the open competition resumed the next day, the hearts of the coaches of the Chinese Table Tennis Team were already in their throats.
Starting from the first game this morning, Huaping can no longer tolerate any defeat.
Once Luo Jiu loses, the morale of Huaping will never be lifted again. With non-Chinese associations's victory, their confidence will be greatly increased. Some players with outstanding talents may develop the heart of a king because of this, and it will be difficult to contain it from now on.
Whether it is Hook Pike or Morad Lin Zijun or even the newly emerged Sissifield, they have already shown such potential.
Many times, whether a player can become the best in the world depends on just one game.
At 8:30 in the morning, the competition between Luo Jiu and Sissifield officially kicked off.
Attentive viewers discovered that the three former European table tennis coaches sat together once again to form a temporary European major league.
This is also a matter of course.
After all, these four games of 8 goals and 4 goals, except for the last game of Bayer vs. Hook, the other three games are strictly speaking, they are battles between Chinese and Europeans.
The three Chinese are from Huaping, Minato, and Bay Island.
Three Europeans, respectively from Germany, Sweden, England.
The old troika is still the same in Europe, which is exactly the same as Hong Kong Open.
The difference is that this time the European coaching team did not deploy detailed and targeted tactics for Luo Jiu.
It's not that they are lazy, it's not that Luo Jiu has no flaws, it's that Sissifield can't use tactics at all. Once he uses tactics, he will become the same as before. On the contrary, he simply gives up tactics and focuses on the front, and maybe he can continue to create miracles.
Didn't you see that he used mindless tactics to confuse Lin Li?
The only one who is best at executing tactics is Bayer. He really wants someone to help him study how to deal with Hook. However, Hook is also half of Rohlskov's favorite general. How can Lao Luo help his younger son beat his elder son?
So today's first game, starting from the first ball of the first inning, directly turned into a situation where sparks were everywhere.
Luo Jiu serves mainly with backspin and has a rigorous style. He relies on the small ball in the table to find opportunities to hit the board, while Sissifield doesn't think about anything and starts fighting as soon as he comes up.
The first ball was served by Sissifield. He directly served the topspin baseline Bullet Serve. He wanted to force Luo Jiu to attack him. Luo Jiu naturally accepted all comers., he is not Wang Chao. He has no problems with his physical strength, strength, and explosive power. He has been playing a strong spin style for seven years. Although his body is not strong, he can still compete with European players in a mid-stage stalemate.
Since Sissifield was willing to give a chance, Luo Jiu naturally directly used the double-sided loop ball and Taiwan-wide no-dead-end offensive system passed down by He Jingping.
He changed the line of attack with his forehand, pressing Sissifield's forehand, and Sissifield's forehand was pulled back.
Luo Jiu attacked again, still pressing the opponent's forehand, but Sissifield didn't want to pull the forehand anymore. He forced the displacement and hit the backhand with great power. Just the first ball was hit with great power.
But Luo Jiu was not afraid. He also used his backhand and played directly.
He is afraid of Sissifield, but it is absolutely impossible to avoid a fight. Although Sissifield killed Lin Li with a backhand yesterday, don't forget that in last year's year-end finals, Luo Jiu also killed Lin Li with a backhand.
Lin Li The so-called top quality of single boards ultimately refers to pure power and rotation, but it may not be able to withstand all kinds of strange tricks.
Last year, Luo Jiu defeated Lin Li with a backhand bounce. Today, since Sissifield's backhand is stronger, it is of course easier for him to use the force to fight.
He was worried yesterday because he was not sure whether playing like this would work, but his reason told him that at least from a tactical and theoretical analysis, playing like this made sense.
Facts have proved that it is indeed possible.
Although Sissifield's backhand was explosive, the angle was right. There were no tricks such as side spin or fake moves at all. He focused on hitting the ball in the center of the table, and Luo Jiu could easily borrow enough power. The ball returned astonishingly fast, like streaks of white lightning. Audiences with weak eyesight and dynamic capture ability could not even see the trajectory of the ball clearly.
At this time, the weakness of Sissifield's rough play style is fully magnified.
He was completely unable to block Luo Jiu's rebounding ball.
He lost the first game just like that.
During the break, Rohlskov started to compare like crazy and explained tactics to Sissifield. Sissifield listened very carefully and kept nodding. When he returned to the court, he no longer superstitious about backhand violence, but added a lot of changes to the backhand position, such as extra spin, side spin, and so on...
Well, there is nothing else, because his backhand emphasizes the ultimate exertion of force, and the stronger the force, the weaker the control of the ball. However, his touch is relatively rough. If he wants to make more complex changes in this situation, it is no different from committing suicide.
So Luo Jiu just adapted a little and found the feeling of rebounding again.
At this time, Luo Jiu's talent is so "subtle" that he is naturally at a huge advantage when facing such rough players.
Sissifield had no choice, he could only continue to be reckless, desperately reckless, reckless, the second game was gone, the third game was gone, and in the fourth game he stopped being reckless, because his mentality collapsed.
He was not a player with a tough mentality. Under the premise that the trick he had just learned was completely cracked, he could not find a way to break the game, and he lost 11:1 in the last game.
Luo Jiu didn't give up the ball. He was actually trying to shave his head to hit the ball. After all, the European table tennis world is fierce today. His idea was to kill one by one, and it was best to create a psychological shadow on them all.
However, violence still has meaning in the end. Some of Sissifield's shots are too fierce. Even if Luo Jiu has a slight talent, he may not be able to use it perfectly. In the end, he still has to fight for his life to hit a winning shot with a reverse pull from the middle.
So far Luo Jiu has successfully passed the test and is the first to reach the semi-finals.
The next game is Morad vs Weng Chunting. This is also a game that attracts great attention from the world because this game has a huge gimmick.
Along the way, Morad first killed Li Zhengzhi, then defeated Bai Feng. At this time, he met Weng Chunting. If he could win, then he would have accomplished the great feat of "eliminating three world-class straight skaters in a row."
One Yingzhi and two Huazhi, these are already the three strongest straight players in the contemporary table tennis world-if it were not for the recent rise of Qiu Shang.
Forty-five minutes later, Morad defeated Weng Chunting 4:2, completing his great feat.
So far, he has reached the semi-finals for the second time at the age of 18. According to the rules of China Open, except for the final championship and runner-up, there is no need to compete for the third and fourth places. In other words, Morad has already won at least one bronze medal.
He has fulfilled the expectations Old Wa had given him when he shouted from a distance yesterday, and has since officially entered the eyes of the table tennis associations of various countries, becoming one of the opponents that needs to be taken seriously.
At the same time, this is also the first time in more than ten years that a young player under the age of 20 in Europe has won a World Series medal. This is an extremely rare record. The reason is mentioned earlier, because European players generally reach their golden age and achieve good results on the world stage after the age of 30.
The last person to win an international competition medal before the age of 20 was the German ace player who ruled Europe for nearly 20 years, the legendary "European King", Hans. Bayer.
The Swedish table tennis scene has been silent for many years. It is only today that Morad has truly regained its former glory because of Morad's victory.
What followed was the competition between Lin Zijun and Pike.
This is also unanimously recognized as the most difficult game to predict the outcome today.
When he debuted, Lin Zijun showed his sharpness and won a silver medal in his debut. He was a bad start, but then he met his lifelong nemesis Wang Chao. He was defeated first in T2 and then by Wang Chao cheated, chose the wrong team out of anger, and ended up in Table Tennis First Division. Then, his condition began to slump, and he failed to achieve good results in several consecutive international competitions, and even failed to get in front of the Chinese table tennis players again.
Last time Hong Kong Open, his condition improved, but in the end he was still eliminated midway, not even reaching the quarterfinals.
This time China Open was in better shape than last time. He passed all the way, almost completely crushing him. When 16 advanced to 8, his opponent was the Swedish veteran k. Michel, who had already reached the 10th place in the world ranking. Everyone thought it would be a tough battle, but in the end, Lin Zijun defeated his opponent 4:0.
Everyone knows that Michel is undergoing technical modifications under the guidance of Old Wa, but everyone can also see that what Michel produced this time is actually pretty good. The technical modifications did not have such a big impact on his strength. Lin Zijun can win, not because Michel has become weaker, but because he is really strong.
Lin Zijun obviously had special training during the Chinese New Year. He came this time to regain his own glory.
The match between him and Pike lasted for a full hour and twenty minutes. The process was brutal. Both sides had strong backhands. One was powerful, heavy and spinning, one was fast and fast, and the other was fast-paced and tricky. One emphasized the stalemate outside the stage, and the other emphasized fast breaks near the stage. This was a typical Eurasian style battle. Both sides fully displayed their own characteristics.
In the end, Lin Zijun defeated Pike in the deciding game 11:6, which also meant that he won his first medal since the beginning of this year.
At this moment, Bay Island Table Tennis Association head coach Jiang Peirong, who is sitting at Bay Island's home, looks at this scene and feels that being the nanny for a few months at the end of last year was really worth it.
Although there is currently only one bronze medal guaranteed, this bronze medal is already considered a huge breakthrough for a small place like Bay Island Table Tennis Association.
At least Zhuang Huishen, the guy who relies on his old age and sells his old age, hasn't gotten a license in the past ten years.
Zhuang Huishen was also watching the game, and he was very happy, but he was a little bit confused despite being happy. Of course he knew that Jiang Peirong, a shameless guy, made a special trip to China last year to join the Table Tennis First Division team. Lin Zijun has been a nanny for several months. He thinks this kind of behavior is purely sensational and useless. But the problem is that Lin Zijun has really cheered up. So, that shameless guy will probably start showing off again soon? He would probably say that this is his own contribution, right?
He was thinking to himself, and opened a mainstream table tennis forum Bay Island, and sure enough, he immediately saw an eloquent and long article of thousands of words by Jiang Peirong, called "The cultivation of athletes should start from the smallest details." You should start from the right place and not be modeled or institutionalized - Taiwan Head Coach Jiang Peirong's industry insights." Looking at the text again, the first sentence is "Who would have thought that I would still be a nanny one day in my life."
Zhuang Huishen I feel like vomiting...
Damn it, Xiao Lin just won the medal, and you have written these thousands of words. Do you dare to say that you didn't write the gun article in advance?
So Lao Zhuang skillfully logged into a vest with the account name "I let you Zhuang 027" and started to reply to comments below to troll people.
