Facts have proved that Rohlskov's intuition is quite accurate.
Because Luo Jiu did not choose to continue wiping the net when he served for the second time, but Hook seemed to have gone crazy and walked directly to the right side of the table, twisting his body into a strange shape, trying to force Overlord Twist on the table.
This is too whimsical.
Hook has always been unscrupulous in his playing. Although he has made some improvements recently under the persuasion of Rohlskov, he cannot hide his unruly nature. He won the first three games and was full of confidence. However, the first ball in the fourth game was played very awkwardly by Luo Jiu, so he felt suffocated in his heart and felt uncomfortable not letting it out.
But he just missed a ball as simple as Forehand Flick, so he subconsciously wanted to change his move, which was to force a backhand twist around the table at this moment.
But this kind of near-table backspin ball hits the center of the table. If he goes around to the right side of the table to twist it, how far does he have to twist his body to achieve an angle?
He was almost twisted into a knot, but it was still useless, even if he transformed into a yoga master, it was useless. This serve was obviously not of high quality, but he scored inexplicably.
2:0, Luo Jiu gained an advantage at the start for the first time today, triggering a round of cheers from the audience.
Hook was very unhappy. After getting the right to serve, he decided to copy the method of the first three games, directly serving the fast and fast bottom line Bullet Serve, forcing Luo Jiu to step back and stalemate, and then beat Luo Jiu to death with his powerful body.
But Luo Jiu has really changed.
He no longer pursues the quality of the ball.
Facing this long topspin ball, he stepped back, but instead of pulling, he sliced the board lightly.
Hook was all ready for the duel, but the opponent came over with a close billiard ball. Although he was disappointed, his tactical knowledge was still there. He quickly took a step forward, adjusted his stance, found a point, and made a fierce forehand charge.
If this ball hit Luo Jiu, he would definitely die, but this ball committed suicide.
The score became 3:0.
Cai Guodong couldn't help it anymore and patted He Jingping in the front row on the shoulder. "Old He?"
"I didn't teach him." He Jingping said directly without even listening to the question.
"I know it's not you." Cai Guodong couldn't help but feel a little funny, and then he realized that he had been in a very low mood these past few days, but now he could actually laugh?
He asked, "Did this kid call Wang Chao last night?"
He Jingping was stunned. "I don't know."
Cai Guodong glared at him. "What else do you know?"
After all, the head coach has already decided in his heart that this unethical style of play must have been taught by Wang Chao.
Although the Huaping coaching staff is yin, they are older and have a fixed mindset after all, and their yin methods have their own tracks to follow. Only Wang Chao, who is full of bad ideas at such a young age, can think of all kinds of weird ways of playing.
If it is really what he taught Luo Jiu.
If Luo Jiu really makes a comeback today.
Then this kid is equivalent to another person suppressing the entire Huaping coaching staff.
Cai Guodong I don't know what to say anymore.
He was thinking that no matter whether Wang Chao could perform well as a player, he would definitely try his best to keep him as a coach in Huaping after ten years.
As a player, he still has many shortcomings, but as a coach, this guy is now qualified enough to take up the post, and is fully qualified to compete for the throne of the number one coach in Chinese table tennis.
At this time, something happened on the court. Rohlskov stood up and signaled, using the only one timeout opportunity in each game.
From this point of view, Rohlskov is indeed capable. He realized that something was wrong immediately and responded in the shortest possible time.
However it was still too late.
A player like Hook is really strong when he is strong, and he is also really bad when he is cheating. He was invincible in the first three games, but in this game, when he made a mistake on the third ball, he has once again become the cheater who always loses his chain in every major competition.
And when he started to make strange twists on the fourth ball, he had already started to get dizzy.
Rohlskov said a lot of things to him, and Hook understood them all and agreed from the bottom of his heart. However, when he returned to the court, he still made various mistakes and committed suicide continuously.
Because his touch was gone and his condition was gone, it was as if he suddenly lost his direction and couldn't play ball anymore.
In addition, Luo Jiu was really bad today. Even though he found that Hook's skills had been deformed, he did not immediately return to high-intensity offense. Instead, he still played in this soft and slimy way. He had only one purpose, which was to strive to make the ball look weak, neither entertaining nor confrontational.
And his only purpose in doing this was not to irritate Hook.
We can assume that there are two souls in Hook's body, one is called "Hook God" and the other is called "Hook Pig". So now, he finally coaxed Hook God to sleep and let the Hook pig come out to eat. How dare he wake up Hook God again?
This is probably the ugliest final in the last ten years - just from the fourth game onwards.
After a short 25 minutes, the game ended. Luo Jiu 4:3 completed a shocking reversal. However, the applause from the audience was not enthusiastic. On the contrary, many people had very subtle expressions.
And the row of Europeans sitting behind Hook all whistled and booed.
This win was really not a pretty one, it could even be said that the victory was in vain, but Luo Jiu didn't care, because he still won in the end.
As long as you win, you can continue to compete with Sun Tianlong, or you can give Old Cai a handicap without being punished.
In fact, Wang Chao told him a lot of words about the heart of the king sincerely yesterday. The general idea was that even if he wins this way, he will still be afraid of Hook next time. He can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
But Luo Jiu doesn't care. He is not an idealist, but a realist. For him, getting over the current hurdle first is the most important thing.
At this point, China Open has come to a successful end. The players and the audience went home, and everyone in Huaping reunited. After a brief meeting, He Jingping resigned from Cai Guodong: "I will not return to the imperial capital with the team. I will go to Jiangcheng City first."
Zhu Zeshi said from the side, "I haven't been to Jiangcheng City for a long time. Junior brother, how about I go with you?"
He Jingping said happily, "Of course that's good."
Qin Huachang interrupted, "Then I'll go too."
He Jingping and he were used to being noisy, so he hummed. "I'm going to see my disciple, what are you going to do?"
Qin Huachang rolled his eyes. "I want to eat the stinky tofu made by Master Jiangcheng Ju, can't you?"
He Jingping sneered, "Okay, then you go and eat. Just don't bother my apprentice after eating."
Qin Huachang also sneered, "I also have a personal relationship with him. I even took him on a trip to Liancheng City. Why don't you let me find him?"
He Jingping was still waiting to refute, but he heard Cai Guodong next to him say, "Why don't I go with you too."
He Jingping was suddenly stunned. "Head coach, why are you joining in the fun?"
Cai Guodong just smiled and didn't say anything. He Jingping was still waiting to ask again, but suddenly he felt someone poking his lower back. He turned around and saw that it was senior brother Zhu Zeshi. He immediately understood and shut up obediently.
So everyone split up, and after some statistics, only Coach Wang Lu was left to lead the team back to the imperial capital, while the others all booked tickets to Jiangcheng City.
The team members were confused and didn't know what the big guys were going to do.
The coaches were smiling and smiling as usual, but no one knew what they were planning in their hearts.
At this time, Wang Chao, who was far away in Jiangcheng City Spade Q training base, was browsing posts online.
He watched the live broadcast of the final between Luo Jiu and Hook. After watching it, he had a premonition that the table tennis world would be restless. Sure enough, after opening Silver Ball Dance Forum for half an hour, the homepage was already full of red posts. The forum bosses wrote long analysis posts starting from the top 32 matches, analyzing almost every game, all the way to the last one.
There were a few analysis posts for the finals, but the authors were all forum novices, and the things they said were too superficial. Wang Chao probably lost interest after just one glance. It seems that we still have to wait for the real boss to come out and speak.
And among this page full of pops of red, there are also some interesting quirks mixed in.
Forum boss Ye Hongye posted a post titled "I do what I say, and please be a witness." If you click on it, the boss first briefly described the process of setting up the flag, and then went straight to the video, which showed the entire process of him eating a chair.
The chair was very large and made of chocolates of various colors. It was actually copied one to one according to the size of a real e-sports chair. It was estimated to cost a lot of money. Ye Hongye had a mask on his face, only showing two eyes and a mouth. He put the chair on the ground, squatted down, and started eating from the side of the chair. He took one bite and clicked, half of the chair leg was bitten off.
Not to mention, this scene is really a bit scary.
This kind of thing is just for fun. Wang Chao probably turns it off after scanning it. What he is more concerned about is the situation of the world table tennis world after this Open.
Soon someone forwarded the post from the foreign forum and thoughtfully translated it.
The whole of Europe was in a rage at this time. As expected, they were all complaining about China Table Tennis' failure to win with force. Some extreme people even went to the level of personal attacks, saying that Luo Jiu was a person without professional ethics, while more people were saying that Hook was proud of losing, and even said that they would raise money to make a gold medal and send it to Hook.
On the contrary, Rohlskov, who has always been sour towards China Table Tennis, behaved very calmly this time. He was interviewed immediately and said, "I don't want to comment too much about the specific content of the game. I just want to say that the game is fair. The opponent won by reasonable means within the rules, so it is understandable that they won the championship, and they deserve it."
Then he changed the topic. "But I am very curious, what kind of solution should Luo Jiu encounter Hook next time? After all, if you are not strong enough, you cannot always win by relying on strange moves."
Wang Chao What I felt from Rohlskov's speech was the strong self-confidence that the Europeans were really inspired by.
In the past years, if Huaping could be suppressed to this point, Rohlskov would never be so objective in what they said, because they were too eager to win in those years, so once they had the slightest victory, they would wildly exaggerate and give themselves gold.
But this time Rohlskov actually held back and didn't even take the initiative to brag. What does this mean?
It shows that he has greater ambitions hidden in his heart.
This shows that he is already confident that he can defeat Huaping in the visible future.
That's why he didn't value the so-called "glory despite defeat" in front of him.
What he wants is to truly win the gold medal and defeat Huaping heartily. At that time, it is time for him to completely vent his boasting.
In fact, there are indeed some undercurrents in today's table tennis world that are completely different from those in the past.
On the one hand, because Hua Ping has always firmly grasped the gold medals in all competitions, the world table tennis community continues to express its despair as in previous years.
On the other hand, judging from the actual content of the competition, the process of winning the gold medal in Huaping is becoming more and more dangerous, and more and more full of chance and luck. Many times, a large number of players avalanche, and finally rely on the personal heroism of one person to complete the final redemption.
Therefore, many people in the world table tennis world believe that Huaping has reached a point where it is about to collapse.
The second trend of thought reached its climax after today's game.
They even took out last year's Oman Open to comment on today's finals.
Whether Dragon Team won Hook last time or Luo Jiu won Hook this time, in the final analysis, they did not fundamentally solve one problem: how to fight Hook.
Huaping has no idea what to do about this.
Because there is really no player in Huaping who can suppress Hook purely from the front.
Huaping has reached the end of its technical flow, but its ultimate technology still cannot suppress unreasonable play styles. So, what kind of improvements do we need to make to solve the problem from the source and truly kill Hook?
In the past few years, Huaping's answer has been "Hold on, and you will wither after the Hook outbreak is over."
Last year Sun Tianlong defeated Hook, which was the ultimate performance of this style of play.
But now this trick doesn't work anymore, Hook is becoming more and more stable.
In the long run, he will definitely stabilize slowly. What will Huaping do then?
The trick used by Luo Jiu is to directly adopt the mentality of Hook, making Hook lose its feel.
This is a strange move. It is not the kingly way to take the sword forward. Luo Jiu did not have the slightest bit of kingly style during the fight. Obviously, this is not Huaping's way to break the game.
So the most extreme fans have already shouted directly, "Just next month, just next month, Swedish Open, we have to see who can stop the next Hook!"
Seeing this, Wang Chao was ready to close the webpage. After all, he had to practice with Wu Li in the evening.
But at this time, a new post jumped into my eyes. I clicked on it and saw that it was the forum boss Ye Hongye who was unwilling to be alone and spoke again.
He said, "Next month Swedish Open, Hook will win the first career championship. I'm waiting for a slap in the face. If you don't accept it, come and fight."
Since he said "come to fight if you don't accept it", it naturally attracted countless forum saints in an instant.
Another forum boss "Moxi" who has always been at odds with him asked, "You want to predict failure and sit on the chair to eat?"
Ye Hongye was still very adamant. He replied directly, "Do you dare to bet? This time it is real. I will eat canned herring live on the live broadcast. Are you coming?"
Moxi suddenly stopped showing up.
But another person with Baiding's account name "Congratulations" replied, "I'll bet with you."
Ye Hongye replied, "The whiteboard trumpet is thickened."
Then another level 5 senior water friend appeared. This person's name was "365". He had signed in to the forum for 1800 days and was also a well-known person. He said, "Then I will do it?"
Ye Hongye chatted privately. "How can I confirm your identity?"
The other party gave an answer in a private chat. Ye Hongye was shocked, but then he believed it.
So the two parties agreed, geared up, and launched their respective nets.
Ye Hongye is very satisfied, because he knows very well that today's tricks will definitely be ineffective against Hook next time, and Sun Tianlong will definitely not be able to participate next month. Considering that China Open lost too many players to non-Chinese associations this time, these people will be banned from participating in international competitions next month.
Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that Xiao Fei is the only one who can compete in Swedish Open next month.
In this way, who can stop today's Hook?
In this case, how could he possibly lose?
So Ye Hongye has already started searching for canned herrings on Taobao. He wants to find the heaviest and most powerful can and mail it to 365, and designate 365 to eat this can.
Little did he know that 365 was doing the same thing at the moment and had already placed an order.
If you want to ask why 365 is so confident, it is because he has another identity in reality, which is Brother Da Ma, the popular anchor of the Silver Ball Dance website. Brother Da Ma has extensive connections and many friends. He has already heard the secret that Wang Chao will participate in Swedish Open.
Then things are simple.
Brother Da Ma is a crazy fan of Unrivaled Youth. Once Unrivaled Youth is involved, there is no such thing as rationality. He is convinced that Wang Chao will be able to successfully snipe Hook. Even if he is not strong enough to snipe, he will definitely be able to kill Hook through strange moves.
As we all know, in the eyes of idiot fans, Allah is undefeated.
