Tang Yuanyuan, who returned to the game, broke out inexplicably.
In other words, Ichikawa Mima, which originally felt hot and had a clear playing style, suddenly had problems.
She first launched four consecutive forehand and backhand attacks, all of which were pulled back by Tang Yuanyuan's retreat. Then she planned to hit a close penalty kick from a wide angle, but the ball spun when she hit it and hit the ball directly off the stage.
Next, Yichuan once again got an opportunity to attack. Her idea was very clear. She still used a forehand and backhand fast break to knock Tang Yuanyuan off the stage, and then moved closer to a wider angle. But this time, when her forehand shot was shot, it missed.
The score suddenly became 8:7, only one point difference.
Ito still holds a serve.
She thought for a while and made a very exaggerated circular motion. When she finally touched the ball, her wrist swayed slightly. It could be said that she had reached the limit of deception, but in the end, she committed suicide by serving.
Wang Chao could see that Yichuan was planning to serve Reverse Spin, but she wanted to deceive Tang Yuanyuan so much that she wanted to force the racket to change direction at the last moment when it touched the ball, but she messed up...
This actually shows that her mentality is slightly impatient, at least not as stable as it was at the beginning.
In other words, Ge Miao's pause actually worked.
On the field, it is often these extremely subtle details that can cause subtle technical or emotional fluctuations in athletes, and these fluctuations eventually amplify and become the winning or losing factor of a ball.
The score became 8:8. Tang Yuanyuan inexplicably tied the score and got the right to serve.
She directly sent a forehand baseline Bullet Serve from a wide angle.
Her idea is very clear. I send topspin and release the billiard ball. I let you shoot it, but the ball is very long. If you hit it, it will come out and not spin. Then I will force the loop with my forehand.
For this kind of ball, Yichuan's handling of the previous three games was very flexible.
She can either rely on the feel of her hand to swing the ball short, or she can rub the ball back normally, or she can even use the tricking technique to cut the ball back and change the line at the same time.
Yes, you read that right. She is very skilled in using the swivel technique. She obviously started practicing it not long after Wang Chao invented this technique. Now, it has almost become a regular technique for her to handle forehand balls.
But this time Yichuan did not use any of the above methods. She really just slapped him hard as Tang Yuanyuan hoped.
This shows that her mentality is indeed a little anxious. This is still the psychological fluctuation caused by the timeout just now and the subsequent consecutive points loss.
As soon as she took the shot, Tang Yuanyuan stepped back from the stage and forced her forehand to circle forward.
This ball was so powerful that Tang Yuanyuan even let out a short, clear cry in order to exert his strength. It was very fierce, but it was very fierce.
Yichuan was still a little wary of such an over-rotating ball. He did not dare to backhand with all his strength. Instead, he tried to be steady and tapped lightly.
Tang Yuanyuan seized the opportunity, stepped forward, adjusted his position, and made an extremely violent sideways charge.
It has to be said that her playing style is very different from other little flowers. Things like sideways and explosive punches are basically considered men's playing styles.
But this board really killed Yichuan.
So far in the game, Tang Yuanyuan has overtaken the score for the first time, leading 9:8.
She served again, and it was still a powerful Bullet Serve that went straight into the opponent's forehand baseline.
However, Yichuan had already adjusted his mentality and cautiously sent the ball to the Tang Yuanyuan backhand position with a roundabout.
Tang Yuanyuan puffed out her cheeks at this moment, as if she was making up her mind. She took half a step forward and gave him a fierce backhand twist.
The posture of her twist was not perfect, so the force was not smooth, but the quality of the twist was far higher than Wang Chao imagined. It can only be said that this girl's strength is well-deserved. She exerted force in a small space, and she was able to twist out a force comparable to that of a male player.
It is worth mentioning that backhand twisting can be roughly divided into two categories. One pursues speed, such as Lin Zijun, and the other pursues quality, such as Sissifield. The twisting of Tang Yuanyuan is exactly the quality route.
She rubbed the ball very thinly, so the ball was not very fast, but it spun up and even floated a little in the air due to too much rotation. The parabola was very steep, and it looked a bit like a roller coaster that slowly rises and then plunges down quickly.
This kind of ball is undoubtedly what Yichuan is most afraid of, because she can't rely on her own strength and must rely on her own hard power to resolve the spin.
Yichuan didn't want to play spin, but the only thing she could do at this time was to use the rubber on the front of the racket to pull up with all her strength, trying to pull a looping ball with a good trajectory.
But her flaws were exposed at this moment.
She failed to completely suppress the ball and ended up with a barely lofted loop.
Tang Yuanyuan walked around the stage without saying a word, launched a fierce challenge, and scored directly.
10:8.
Wang Chao couldn't help but applaud lightly when he saw this.
From the coach's perspective, Tang Yuanyuan's performance on the last two goals was perfect.
Not technically perfect, but mentally perfect.
After being forced into a desperate situation, she did not be conservative or fearful. She still dared to fight and fought harder than before.
The vast majority of players will fight hard in desperate situations, but when the vast majority of players fight hard, they actually have a go-anywhere mentality, which leads to a decrease in the stability of their skills. Although they are fighting, most of them will commit suicide. Even if they succeed, it is just good luck and a small probability event, rather than how good they really fought.
But Tang Yuanyuan is obviously not.
She is really stable, even in the last charge, twisting the ball, or picking, her movements are all in place, and her steps are always one step ahead. This shows that she is still playing in strict accordance with the correct posture she has learned through hard training, without any technical deformation.
Although this girl is a girl, she has a big heart.
Another half minute later, Tang Yuanyuan 11:8 won the game.
The last ball of this game was lackluster. Ichikawa Mima played very rough and did not work very hard to chase points. Obviously, she realized that her mentality was messed up, so she chose to strategically give up the fourth game, planning to go down and make adjustments, and come back in the fifth game.
In fact, Yichuan did not know that this mentality was clearly denounced as wrong by the coaches in China Table Tennis Team.
The Huaping coach has always warned his disciples countless times: Don't relax at all in an advantageous situation, and never give away any ball that shouldn't be given away. The first priority in playing is not passion, but rigor and impeccability.
This is the ultimate mental training, and it is also one of the most important factors that distinguish Chinese table tennis players from non-Chinese associations players.
Therefore, the right thing for her to do was not to give up the game after her mentality was confused, but to immediately start to adjust as much as she could.
Although fighting this way will be more tiring, it will be good for your future growth.
Just like Tang Yuanyuan was behind in the third game, she wasted her time madly, adjusting her mentality, and thinking about ways to break the game. Although she failed in the end, she and Yichuan showed completely different choices in their attitudes towards the game.
Soon the fifth game started and the two sides fought again, but Wang Chao found that Ichikawa Mima still failed to adjust.
She was still impatient.
On the contrary, Tang Yuanyuan played as steadily as an old dog, and her attacks were fierce but cautious. Facing Yichuan's crazy attack, she held on and looked for opportunities to defend and counterattack from various subtleties.
This style of play even reminded Wang Chao of the battle last year when Dragon Team defeated Hook.
It is also struggling to hold on, but it does not collapse and can still find opportunities from the cracks.
Tang Yuanyuan's technique is actually a little rough, but fortunately Yichuan's technique is not too fine. He basically just attacks desperately, so the fifth game between the two sides ended up in a very rare stalemate.
No one can hold anyone down anymore.
The score rose alternately, all the way to 9:9, and Tang Yuanyuan began to fight.
She made a rare short backspin, and after Yichuan swung the ball short, she made a desperate shot around the table.
This was pure fighting, and she probably didn't expect much success. After all, her hand wasn't that good yet, and she wasn't sure about such a difficult ball.
But she was very lucky and succeeded in the overthrow. Although Yichuan relied on his extreme speed to forcefully retreat a few steps to catch up with the ball, Yichuan lost his power after retreating from the stage. The ball he barely caught was violently beaten to death by Tang Yuanyuan.
Then Tang Yuanyuan sent another short backspin, making it clear that he wanted to fight for another one.
Yichuan was a little irritated and gave her a Forehand Counter-attack, wanting to beat Tang Yuanyuan to death.
Of course she wasn't messing around. The reason why she dared to shoot was actually because Tang Yuanyuan's serve was a little too high.
But she didn't know that this presumption was intentional.
After playing five games with her, Tang Yuanyuan finally figured out some of her offensive routines.
This lob was waiting for her to hit, and she even predicted that her shot would turn into a straight backhand.
So her racket passed by. Even though the speed was so fast that Tang Yuanyuan had difficulty reacting, Tang Yuanyuan miraculously did not retreat. Instead, she moved one step to the left in advance, raised the racket up, pushed it up, and struck forward fiercely based on her feeling.
The ball was knocked back as soon as it landed on the table. The force Yichuan exerted on the ball was perfectly rebounded. Coupled with the force exerted by Tang Yuanyuan, the ball neither turned nor had a tricky landing point, but it was fast. It was already faster than Yichuan's usual ball. It missed directly through the gap in Yichuan's arm.
11:9, Tang Yuanyuan wins again.
At this point in the game, Wang Chao had truly realized that he might have made a mistake.
This strange girl with a bit rough skills and a relatively straightforward style probably has many excellent qualities that she didn't see the day before yesterday.
The last ball is enough to reflect Tang Yuanyuan's almost steel-like composure during critical balls, as well as his ability to improvise temporary arrangements.
This can't even be considered a tactic, but just a clever little trick, but it played a key role at the critical moment.
In coaching terms, this is called "spirituality."
When an athlete is at a low level, the most important thing is of course hard power, but when an athlete wants to hit the top, spirituality becomes more important than any technical means.
In the words of cultivators, this is the "enlightenment" process that is essential to the last moment of cultivation. An instant of enlightenment is far greater than hundreds of years of hard work.
This is the final "eye" that adds the finishing touch.
In the next game, Ichikawa Mima was in complete chaos.
In fact, she is also a very spiritual player, but she is probably too ambitious, and her eyes are always focused on the top three of the women's team. So this time, when she heard that the top three did not participate, she was already ready to win the championship.
It is said that she even said directly in an interview before the game that she wanted to win her first open gold medal in her life.
She does not underestimate the enemy, but what she really pays attention to and studies should be the more famous female table tennis stars, such as Yin Di, Shen Sha, Wang Yu and Chen Tong.
She thought Tang Yuanyuan was the kind of sidekick who didn't even need to remember his name. He only had to appear and kill instantly, and then he could get his lunch box at the end.
But she was chased back from a desperate situation for two games by this dead man.
The huge psychological gap caused her to collapse.
She wanted to be steady, but she couldn't. She couldn't control the anger and anxiety in her heart no matter what. She got rougher and rougher and made more mistakes. In the next twenty minutes, she lost three games in a row, and was unexpectedly overturned by Tang Yuanyuan with a score of 4:3.
There is no doubt that this battle was a shocking reversal. Even though the Swedish fans supported Ichikawa Mima, they still gave Tang Yuanyuan warm applause after the game.
It's a pity that European women's table tennis is not very competitive, which leads European fans to watch women's table tennis matches just to watch the excitement. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will cry in despair again at this moment.
"Obviously, those few famous girls are already difficult to deal with. Why did a girl who I had never heard of suddenly come out and be so strong? She actually wiped out Ichikawa Mima, the best player outside of Huaping."
"Will Yichuan, who is known as the biggest enemy of the Chinese Table Tennis Women's Team, still have a chance to reach the top 3 in the future? Will she not even have a chance to play against the top 3?"
"Thinking about something like this, it really makes people feel so dark and hopeless."
While Swedish Open was going on, a hot post appeared on the domestic Silver Ball Dance Forum, and it started to build a building in a crazy manner. It was eventually highlighted by the administrator and placed in the most eye-catching position in the comprehensive section of the forum.
The name of the post is "How should we defeat Hook". The person who posted the post is another familiar face on the forum with the ID name "Tushan Huan Gong".
He seriously commented in the post. "From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, Hook met two of our strongest Chinese table tennis players in the finals twice. Although judging from the results, we successfully attacked Hook both times, but from the content point of view, there is no doubt that we have not found a way to defeat Hook so far, not even a feasible idea."
"I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who can perform a defensive counterattack like Dragon Team's, and Luo Jiu's winning method last month cannot be replicated at all. If we are pessimistic, we can even think that, when Dragon Team and Luo Jiu meet Hook again, and if Hook can't let go, then the Brazilian's probability of winning is actually greater than 60%."
"Please note that he is still only 22 years old. If nothing happens, he can still play for at least 10 years."
"So I can't help but want to ask everyone, is Hook, who is not prone to disease and performs stably, really unsolvable? How on earth should we defeat him?"
At first, this post was just being discussed by forum friends. Later, several highly professional forum bosses joined the discussion camp, and then even professional players joined the discussion. The content of the discussion became more and more professional and high-end. Later, even coaches from the city team and the provincial team came to post with the title of certified big V.
But after all this talk, no one can come up with a real solution.
The coach of a certain provincial team said this, "For any professional player, there is no so-called perfect solution. The real victory or defeat on the field is always closely related to the player's on-the-spot state. This is a process of ebb and flow, mutual restraint, and mutual restriction. There is only dynamic suppression, not absolute suppression. Therefore, this post cannot have an answer."
And in a cafeteria on a certain floor of a hotel in Sweden Stockholm, Lin Zijun was holding a dinner plate and sat down opposite Wang Chao, and asked him seriously, "Can you tell me how to defeat Hook?"
This was the evening when Men's Singles and Women's Singles 16 advanced to 8.
At this time, Lin Zijun is no longer the shy and ignorant boy he was last year. A few months of Table Tennis First Division career has made him much more relaxed in interpersonal communication. More importantly, He didn't know that Wang Chao had wanted to destroy him. He had always regarded Wang Chao as a peer with whom he had some kind of fateful bond. Although they rarely contacted each other, they cherished each other.
After he entered the top 8, he had been thinking about how to beat Hook. From this morning to this evening, he thought hard for a long time and still couldn't think of a way. Finally, he finally thought of Wang Chao.
In his opinion, if there is one person in the world who can handle Hook, it can only be Wang Chao.
Because the only two people in the world today who have dealt with Hook are Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu. Luo Jiu's tactics were completely taught to him by Wang Chao, and Sun Tianlong's shocking technical style of play can only be replicated by Wang Chao.
