In this game, Wang Chao wanted to play defensive counterattack from beginning to end.

This is the most effective way of defeating Michel.

It is also the play that leaves Old Wa speechless the most.

Michel swatted the ball, and Wang Chao shot it simultaneously, but this time his prediction was not accurate enough. Although the ball hit the racket, the angle was wrong and it shot directly into the sky.

The score became 2:1, Michel recovered one point.

Then Michel continued to serve, and it was still a heavy and fast bottom line Bullet Serve.

After several rounds of changes, the situation once again turned into a stalemate between Michel's backhand and forced looping and Wang Chao's forehand looping.

This time Michel's explosion came from a backhand step from the middle and forced a forward looping shot.

This kind of ball Wang Chao can actually be taken one step back and directly pulled back with the forehand. With his rich technical reserves, he can also choose to cut sideways from a long distance or make a long pass.

But he chose not to retreat, but took the shot, predicted it, and blocked it hard.

This time he succeeded, once again blocking an indescribably fast turning ball and scoring directly.

3:1.

When the ball was hit here in the first game, although only four balls were hit, the audience had already completely understood it.

It turns out that the two points Wang Chao scored at the beginning was not a coincidence.

It turns out that Wang Chao wanted to play this kind of defensive counterattack.

The audience was a little angry, because after all, they were not experienced enough, so they did not realize how valuable this style of play was, and they did not realize that Wang Chao was actually silently declaring war on Old Wa. They just felt that Wang Chao was too much. He attacked others crazily and only focused on defense when beating our boss. Who are you looking down on?

As a result, the atmosphere in the audience became very strange. There was much less applause and more strange heckles and whistles.

The score in the first game slowly climbed up, and the situation was not stalemate. Wang Chao had a steady advantage and scored one point after another under the bombardment of Michel. Until the end of the first game, the score was 11:6. Among Wang Chao's 11 points, 9 of them came from pure defense.

Reality was like a loud slap in the face, making Michel's face turn red slightly.

He returned to the baffle, took a swig of water, poured out his anger to Old Wa, and asked Old Wa eagerly: What should I do?

Old Wa was still smiling. He had a calm attitude and a calm tone, telling Michel not to rush, to play slowly, to have firm belief, to play the same way as in the first game, and not to mess up his position because of his opponent's performance.

"You mean, his defense can't last long?" Michel asked Old Wa.

Because China Table Tennis is so strong, most foreigners in the table tennis world have a certain understanding of Chinese culture. This is the subconscious admiration, imitation and closeness of the top players in the middle and lower reaches of any industry. Michel also has an understanding of Chinese culture. At this moment, he even thought of an old Chinese saying, called "If you defend for a long time, you will lose."

"So, as long as I persist, he will collapse, right?"

Old Wa smiled and neither said he was right nor wrong. He just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Play hard and don't have too much psychological burden. If you want to win, you must first have a mentality of not being afraid of losing. Do you understand?"

Michel nodded vigorously, and returned to the playing field filled with chicken blood again.

The second game begins.

"Have you seen the video on the European forum?" Cai Guodong asked Qin Huachang in the ward.

Qin Huachang nodded. "Of course, Wang Chao and Old He restaurants publicly reviewed Hook. This matter has now caused a stir and has become the biggest news in the European table tennis world. Even if I have a physical problem, I still have to pay attention to such explosive news."

"Then what do you think?" Cai Guodong asked.

Qin Huachang sighed and said nothing.

Cai Guodong was not in a hurry and watched the game quietly.

After a long time, Qin Huachang said softly, "I admit, Old He is indeed a good person."

This answer is actually somewhat off-topic.

Cai Guodong clearly asked what he thought about the issue of typing Hook, but his answer was "Old He is a good person."

But Cai Guodong understood the meaning of his words, nodded and smiled, "No matter how you trick him, hurt him, lie to him, when you ask him for help, he will still help you seriously. Even if you make a mistake, he will find an opportunity to remind you in a roundabout way that if such a person is not a good person, there will be no good people in the world."

Qin Huachang There was another long silence.

We are all smart people, so we can naturally understand where the scene in the restaurant yesterday came from.

Lin Zijun asking for advice Wang Chao is an emergency, but if Wang Chao and He Jingping don't want to make it public, they can drag Lin Zijun back to the hotel to chat privately.

But they insist on speaking in public without being afraid of being heard. Naturally, it is not because they really want to teach good European students a lesson.

It's because some of He Jingping's words need to be conveyed to Qin Huachang's ears in this way.

For many years, Qin Huachang has been known as the first in the coaching staff in terms of business, liveliness, and intelligence. He may seem to be laughing and scolding, but in his heart he is actually very stubborn and proud. This kind of pride is different from Zhu Zeshi's superficial skills, but penetrates deep into his bones.

Before leaving Sweden, Qin Huachang gave Fan Xiaodong some careful instructions on how to play Hook, and the method he gave was actually the same as the first method proposed by Wang Chao and He Jingping: defense.

The vision and judgment of the masters always lead to the same goal through different paths.

From this point of view, there is indeed no problem with Qin Huachang's business capabilities.

But He Jingping disagrees with Qin Huachang's point of view. He thinks that others can defend against Hook, but Fan Xiaodong cannot.

Defense is a universal play that anyone can try, but offense is a special play for Fan Xiaodong when facing Hook.

However, he couldn't say this to Qin Huachang face to face.

This was not only because the two had a conflict over the mixed doubles issue before the expedition, but also because he knew Qin Huachang would not listen to him.

He, He Jingping, is only the second-tier coach in the coaching staff. Although Luo Jiu and Wang Chao have become popular in the past six months, in fact, all Huaping coaches understand that this is because Wang Chao is great, and Old He is just picking peaches to take advantage.

In this case, He Jingping is still only the second-level coach of the Huaping coaching staff, ranking below Qin Huachang, Zhu Zeshi, and Wang Lu, and only slightly higher than Coach Cheng Aimin and Chen Taolue. It is eight hundred years too early for him to preach to Qin Huachang.

But He Jingping still felt that Qin Huachang was wrong. If he was a little unconfident at first, then when Wang Chao came up with the same view as him, he was convinced that Qin Huachang must be wrong.

After all, Wang Chao can't be wrong. Wang Chao has proven that he can suppress the entire coaching staff by himself.

He Jingping felt that he had to tell Qin Huachang the correct answer to avoid making the child Fan Xiaodong take detours.

He Jingping is such a person. Even if he knows that Qin Huachang is plotting against Wang Chao to pave the way for Fan Xiaodong, he still feels that Fan Xiaodong himself is innocent and should not be implicated because of the grudges of these coaches.

Children should receive correct guidance. If they can defeat Hook in the correct way, then they can truly make their debut and become gods.

He deliberately had a lofty talk with Wang Chao in the restaurant, which indeed became a hot news in the European forum. Then Lin Zijun played Hook according to the script, and the effect was quite remarkable, which made the fans in the European forum go crazy.

In fact, now European fans are also starting to discuss crazily how to play Hook.

(Hook: Are you polite? Is this a world where I am the only one who gets hurt?)

"You don't need to feel too guilty. There is actually another reason why Old He chose to talk publicly, and that is to deliberately target Rohlskov."

Cai Guodong comforted, "Rohlskov has been too excited recently. The key is that he hasn't understood it yet. Old He has said it behind his back countless times. This time he found a rare opportunity and finally complained about it. Don't look at him clearly. Rohlskov was not mentioned on the surface, but his words of "merely German" have already cursed Rohlskov in a roundabout way. Now I really want to know what Rohlskov's mentality will be after seeing the conversation in the video."

Qin Huachang smiled, "Head coach, you don't need to comfort me. I cheated Old He. I admit it, but I never said I regretted it. If I do it again, I have to cheat him. After all, you know, I... can be considered excusable, right?"

Cai Guodong sighed and nodded, "It's okay, Old He will understand you in the future."

Having said that, Cai Guodong still has his own judgment standards in mind.

Qin Huachang does have some special circumstances. It is understandable that he is so eager for quick success and wants to see Fan Xiaodong enter the Olympics. But in fact, Cai Guodong is sure that if He Jingping and Qin Huachang exchange identities, He Jingping will still not do what Qin Huachang does.

This is still a matter of pattern.

Qin Huachang attaches too much importance to interests and has a small structure. He even lacks some kind of domineering power because of this mentality, so he is a bit petty when it comes to building a tactical system.

Sun Tianlong's ability to become the best in the world is actually due to many coincidences. If you look specifically at Qin Huachang's training strategy for Sun Tianlong, it is actually still a constant tinkering and training wherever it doesn't work. In essence, it is not a way of building a high-level, complete structure, but a way of building, observing, modifying and improving.

This kind of thinking is definitely not advisable when used to build a house, but when used to train athletes, he actually managed to train a hexagonal warrior. This is because Qin Huachang is still a top player in terms of specific technology and details, although the layout is insufficient.

Then Qin Huachang trained Lin Li in another way, and also trained Lin Li into a national player, so the world praised his ability to train his disciples.

But in fact, there are some problems with Lin Li. Cai Guodong can see it, but he doesn't want to talk about it, because he knows that Lin Li has already been finalized, and talking about it will only increase worries.

Lin Li could have been more domineering. After all, he was born with Monstrous Strength Talent and had better skills than most brute-force players. His ideal prototype should actually be somewhat similar to Hook. His attack power may be a little worse than Hook, but his stability is much better than Hook. It is possible for this kind of character to reach the top.

But what does Lin Li look like now? He will always be ranked behind Sun Tianlong and Xiao Fei. For seven long years, not to mention surpassing Sun Tianlong, he has not even surpassed Xiao Fei.

Although he claims to have the best veneer quality in Huaping, in fact, the quality of the veneer is far from the limit of his body. Last month in China Open, he was even beaten to death by Sissifield, a simple, rough and violent turtle with no skills at all.

It is unreasonable for a violent turtle with technical skills to be beaten to death by a violent turtle with brute strength.

In the same way, in the matter of "How does Fan Xiaodong fight Hook", Qin Huachang chose "defense" instead of "offense", precisely because he subconsciously started to be petty again.

He always wants to find opportunities to take advantage of Hook, and defense is the best way to force Hook to consume extreme mental energy, which is in line with his consistent mentality of taking advantage. What he wants is to counterattack after Hook exhausts his mental energy, instead of attacking strongly from the beginning, even though he knows how domineering Fan Xiaodong's own style of play is.

In fact, in the process of reaching the result of "winning", you don't need to care too much about the price paid. Others choose to defend because they have no capital and cannot pay the price even if they want to, but Fan Xiaodong already has strong capital.

On the contrary, He Jingping can see the meaning of defense as well as offense. This is because he has a broad mind of selflessness and does not care about suffering losses or taking advantage, as long as he can win.

So in Cai Guodong's mind, the "Tao" followed by these coaches is actually very clear.

Qin Huachang follows a deceitful path and is good at calculations. If he can spend less effort, he will never spend more effort. If he can plot against the opponent, he will never attack the opponent forcefully.

Wang Lu advocates control and must master every playing requirement, otherwise there will be a lack of security. If this style had to be classified, it could probably be called Gou Dao.

And He Jingping, from the beginning of joining the team, built a double-sided looping attack system with the best attack power in the world. He was not afraid of the vastness of this project. He spent seven years repairing it and searched all over the world for seedlings with truly outstanding talents. He could also remind Wang Chao to cultivate the heart of a king when Wang Chao went too far.

He seems to be ordinary in terms of personnel, but in terms of coaching style, he is the most upright and kingly way.

As for Cai Guodong himself.

hehe.

He might have been considered a coach when he was teaching his disciples wholeheartedly, but now he is more of an official. He thinks about balancing the lower level and dealing with the upper level every day. Although there are many issues to consider, they are not technical. If we were to find a way for him, it would probably be the way of humanity.

As for the remaining Coach Cheng Aimin Chen Taolue and his like, until they bring out a main disciple of the national team, we can only say that they have not found their own way at all.
