Early the next morning, Swedish Open ushered in the final competition day.
In all the previous competitions, the men preceded the women, but on the last day of the competition, it was the Women's Singles finals that came first.
This is normal, after all, the Men's Singles gold medal is the gold medal with the most gold content, and it is also the game that attracts the most attention, so naturally it should be placed at the end.
So what started first was actually the Chinese table tennis civil war between Tang Yuanyuan and Wang Yu.
Wang Chao witnessed the entire game.
He thought Wang Yu would win.
In fact, even Ge Miao, Tang Yuanyuan's teacher, and Wang Wendong, who was coordinating the overall situation in the imperial capital, felt that Wang Yu would win.
After all, Wang Yu is a rare type in the women's team. She is tall and has long legs, a wide protective platform, and great strength. The offensive intensity and continuity of her backhand have even faintly surpassed the top 3. In addition, her skillful conversion ability of forehand and backhand and her fearlessness in the middle and stage stalemate make her a very prominent presence among the flowers in the women's team.
In the past six months, the only person recognized within the women's team who can compete with Wang Yu for the main spot is Shen Sha. The reason is that Shen Sha has a very violent forehand kill and a very spiritual change in the table.
These two girls are both known for their masculine style of play, and they use the most advanced female style of play at the moment.
But in the end it was Tang Yuanyuan who won the championship of this open competition, Women's Singles.
In this way, she also became the first player among the contemporary young talents of Huaping to win the Open Championship. She was able to fight back from obscurity to the end.
Looking at this Women's Singles final, Tang Yuanyuan was actually completely blown away in terms of technical sophistication and transition between forehand and backhand.
Even the strange power she relied on to defeat Ichikawa Mima was completely blocked this time by Wang Yu, because Wang Yu is also very powerful. Although not as powerful as her, it is enough to deal with her. In this case, just like Fan Xiaodong is powerful enough to deal with Hook.
Tang Yuanyuan ultimately won because of his super stable mentality and always calm attitude towards the game.
After all, this was Wang Yu's first international competition final. Wang Yu, who had always performed stably, got confused and panicked at the last moment.
This is a common problem among many players. They can be stable in adversity and adjust when disadvantaged, but on the contrary, they cannot hold back before victory comes.
Wang Yu is exactly that.
She won three games in a row at first, and then suddenly became incapable of playing in the fourth game. She did not dare to attack the ball when she should attack, and did not dare to pull the ball back when she should attack. She insisted on stability, but she did not know that in the world of table tennis, the brave will always win when meeting in a narrow road.
Tang Yuanyuan took advantage of this slim opportunity and fought back bit by bit.
When she won the first game, Wang Yu just felt that her condition had deteriorated and she needed to adjust.
When she won the second game, Wang Yu felt like she couldn't adjust.
When she won the third game, Wang Yu had clearly shown various negative emotions such as impatience, panic, and worrying about gains and losses.
In the deciding game, Tang Yuanyuan happened to score by chance with the first ball and got a lucky ball. It was this lucky ball that caused Wang Yu's mentality to completely collapse.
Watching this Women's Singles final, Wang Chao was filled with emotion on the sidelines.
In fact, if both players have coaches on the sidelines behind them to provide guidance, Wang Yu will definitely win.
But precisely because of the unspoken rule of the Chinese table tennis civil war that there is no guidance, Wang Yu could not find anyone to ask for help, and no one reminded her. She was trapped in her own emotional whirlpool and could not extricate herself.
At this point, looking at the untimely old-fashioned expression on the round face of Tang Yuanyuan, a short girl, it suddenly seemed very reasonable.
Maybe it's because of her old-fashioned look that her mentality is like that of an old Jianghu, which is so good?
Wang Chao has no time to sigh, because his last battle has finally arrived.
Swedish Open Men's Singles final, Wang Chao vs Fan Xiaodong, a battle between young Chinese table tennis players, and most likely a battle between future Chinese table tennis leaders, officially started in a foreign country, under the gaze of countless white-skinned and blue-eyed fans.
While the host announced the entrance of both players, a special guest was welcomed into the live broadcast room of the famous personal table tennis commentator Brother Da Ma on the Silver Ball Dance website in China.
He looks to be in his forties. Although this is his first time on camera, he looks quite calm. At first glance, he has the kind of temperament that he has cultivated for many years in offices in state agencies, a unique temperament called "Qingshui Yamen".
He sat down next to Brother Da Ma. Brother Da Ma introduced the identity of the guest with a smile on his face. It was Silver Ball Dance Forum's very famous boss Ye Hongye, who was the one who lost the bet last time and ate the chair on the live broadcast.
The difference is that when he ate a chair last time, he wore a mask and made it clear that he did not want to reveal his true identity. But this time, with the efforts of Brother Da Ma, he appeared in real life for the first time, which can be regarded as moving from online to offline.
At this moment, countless barrages passed by in the live broadcast room, and they were all densely written with four words: canned herring.
That's right, a month ago, the forum boss Ye Hongye set up a flag again, claiming that Swedish Open Hook would definitely win this year, and wrote a 10,000-word long article to conduct a detailed analysis.
This analysis post attracted a lot of good people, including several other forum bosses. Unfortunately, another boss "Moxi" who usually confronts Ye Hongye is a coward. After hearing that he was going to live broadcast eating canned herrings, he immediately chose to sink. Instead, it was Brother Da Ma who took the initiative to take the bet wearing his vest named "365".
So today is actually a lot of fun. After all, Silver Ball Dance is the first forum of China Table Tennis, and the two people sitting in the live broadcast room at this moment are both top bosses in the forum. Not only have they been around for many years, but they have also posted quite a few high-quality long posts. They have strong online appeal and have a strong ability to interpret professional events.
Today Brother Da Ma has exposed his vest directly, and Ye Hongye is even more ruthless, directly showing his face.
Therefore, almost everyone in the forum who knew about this bet had gathered in Brother Da Ma's live broadcast room, which helped Brother Da Ma gain a lot of popularity.
Facing the urging on the screen, Ye Hongye calmly took out a can.
"This doesn't seem to be canned herring." Brother Da Ma asked with a smile.
"This is a canned fish. To be precise, this is a pretty delicious canned tuna." Ye Hongye was calm and composed, showing no shyness in front of the camera. He spoke politely and methodically, and even showed a light and fake smile, just like he used to do when facing agency leaders in the office.
He said leisurely, "I named the fish inside herring, so now, the full name of this can is - canned herring."
Brother Da Ma was stunned.
The screen in the live broadcast room was directly covered.
Yes, you read that right, the barrage at this time can no longer be described by words such as dense, because there are really too many, overwhelming, and crowded on the screen. You can no longer see the movement of the barrage floating from left to right. The only thing you can see is a large area filled with water, which is completely blocked.
, , , . As for words such as "shameless, despicable, obscene, dirty, dirty, changing concepts, shameless, words that don't count", even if they are very light, they have not yet reached the standard of being blocked.
"Are you really not afraid of being beaten like this? My live broadcast room is very popular." Brother Da Ma reminded him, "Don't forget, you showed up today."
Ye Hongye smiled slightly again and asked, "Do you have a knife?"
Perhaps it was because the word "knife" was very sensitive. Brother Da Ma was so excited that his voice was trembling. "What do you want?"
"I mean, do you have a knife?" Ye Hongye pointed to his can. "I have to pry it open... The quality of this can is not strong, and I pulled off the tab on it."
Ye Hongye's calmness is awe-inspiring.
As expected, he is a boss who sits in his office and reads newspapers.
Brother Da Ma asked his assistant to find a kitchen knife. Ye Hongye skillfully used the kitchen knife to cut a slit on the iron sheet on the surface of the can, then clamped it with scissors and rolled it out until the iron sheet was completely pulled off, revealing the tender red fish meat inside.
He squinted his eyes slightly, looking very contented. He picked up a piece of meat with his fingers and put it into his mouth, chewing it while letting out a satisfied sigh.
The barrage was going crazy, but it was obvious that no matter how excited the audience was, they couldn't really follow the network cable and hit people.
So after Ye Hongye finished eating the entire can with a satisfied look, the trend began to change.
"He's too calm."
"He's so calm."
"His appearance remains unchanged despite the collapse of his mountain."
"He is a real warrior, he dares to show his face in person and cheat on live broadcast."
"Forum boss, it's so scary!"
"I, Long Aotian, am convinced by this man."
"Does anyone know where I bought this can? I'm so hungry just looking at it. I really want to eat it."
"Is this a mukbang? How can someone be so intoxicated after eating a can?"
"Isn't he really here to advertise cans?"
"Please provide a link to the same canned tuna, thanks."
"Same request."
"Same request +1."
Brother Da Ma is very satisfied.
Of course he had known for a long time that Ye Hongye was going to do this, so it was considered a show effect from the beginning to the end. Anyway, the infamy was brought by others, but the popularity was his own. He was the Qin Shihuang who touched the switch - he was a loser.
The right to serve in the first game finally fell to Fan Xiaodong.
He sent a short backspin.
This is a rather surprising choice.
In the past six months, very few people have sent short backspin when playing with Wang Chao. Even Mizutori Hato, who is known as one of the five best players on the planet, has always hit long balls from the baseline twice when he met Wang Chao.
Just because there are few people in this world who can compete with Wang Chao.
Wang Chao swing short.
Fan Xiaodong swings back.
Wang Chao swings back again.
Fan Xiaodong continued to swing, and the result was slightly higher.
Wang Chao did not hesitate to hit the ball around the table at a tricky angle. The direction of his wrist seemed to be facing the forehand position, but in the end the ball was thrown to the backhand position. Fan Xiaodong was fooled and made a move to the right, and then quickly took it back, but it was too late.
1:0, Wang Chao won first.
Fan Xiaodong serves again, still short backspin.
After five consecutive short swings, Wang Chao once again got a chance. He twisted the ball with a backhand and then hit with a forehand from a wide angle, beating Fan Xiaodong to death.
2:0.
This shot is actually very technical, but the audience is not happy about it, because in recent days, a large number of people in the industry have conducted popular science and interpretation on the technical characteristics of Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong, so now even the most layman audience at least knows that Wang Chao has a very good feel and should not give him short backspin.
So Fan Xiaodong's serve choice looked like it was deliberately bad.
Even though the quality of both sides' short swings was very high, and Fan Xiaodong also showed a delicate touch, everyone just felt that the game was boring.
Wang Chao gets the right to serve.
He didn't serve short backspin, but served a ball he rarely served at the beginning: a high toss.
Wang Chao usually doesn't serve high tosses. It's not that he doesn't know how to do it, but he knows how to serve too many. Although high tosses can create strong spin, relatively speaking, because the ball falls too fast, it becomes more difficult to fake, and there is a possibility of a service error to a certain extent.
If the high throw turns into a pure quality ball, just like Hook, this is not the original intention of Wang Chao. After all, he is playing with his mind and technology, not the quality of the single board.
So today, High-Toss Serve, he still made a fake move at the last moment. The specific details were similar to a hook serve. The racket first cut clockwise, but changed to counterclockwise the moment it touched the ball, and passed the side of the ball extremely quickly.
This is a Reverse Spin.
Also due to the high throw, Fan Xiaodong's attention was diverted. His focus was on the rotation intensity of the ball, not the direction of rotation. At the same time, the last movement range of Wang Chao was too small, so Fan Xiaodong directly missed the serve.
3:0.
Wang Chao served again, still throwing it high. This time it was no longer a fake move. He directly cut a very strong backspin ball and hit the baseline of Fan Xiaodong's forehand position.
Facing the billiard ball, Fan Xiaodong didn't hesitate at all and rushed sideways.
However, the ball went off the net and committed suicide.
No one knows why this ball committed suicide. Maybe he made a mistake in his performance, or maybe the backspin of the high throw was too strong, exceeding his expectations.
In short, only two minutes into the game, Wang Chao hit a 4:0 climax.
Many spectators in the stands were making "ooh" sounds, similar to booing. The Swedish spectators were originally mentally unbalanced because of the consecutive eliminations of Morad, Michel and Hook. At this moment, their fragile mentality was particularly suspicious. Seeing the development of such a situation, the first reaction was: Huaping is engaging in match-fixing?
It's no wonder they have this idea. It's true that Fan Xiaodong's performance yesterday was too amazing, and today's performance was too stretched. In addition, Wang Chao has already vaguely established his position as a future leader with his outstanding performance in the past six months, so they all doubted whether Huaping had determined the outcome of this game.
"Is it to prevent us from seeing the true strength of these two people?"
"This is so despicable."
"Can't you just have a good fight?"
"I just want to ask, what about sportsmanship?"
"Is the dominance gained through match-fixing and concealing strength so important?"
"Hey, man, don't you understand this? In China, the performance of table tennis players is linked to their future prospects, which is different from us."
"Everyone who understands understands, and those who don't understand, even if I tell you, you don't understand. In short, that's what it is. Just get used to it."
All kinds of unfriendly remarks were made on the forum, and the reaction of the audience was unanimous applause.
The two players in the game were not affected and just continued to concentrate on playing. Soon Wang Chao scored another four points and the score directly reached 8:0.
At this time Fan Xiaodong got the right to serve again and served another short backspin.
Wang Chao accepted the invitation as always and fought with him.
But this time, the two sides fought for six consecutive rounds, and no one showed any flaws.
In the seventh round, Wang Chao accidentally returned the ball too high.
Fan Xiaodong started instantly, circled half a circle around the stage, swung his arms and struck hard, a fierce challenge.
The ball was almost a kill, but Wang Chao stepped back half a step at the critical moment and pulled back.
Fan Xiaodong, however, had already stood firm in front of the stage and without hesitation launched another fierce forehand charge.
Wang Chao has no choice but to block the ball.
Fan Xiaodong explodes again.
This time Wang Chao was directly penetrated, and the score became 8:1.
The noise in the arena was slightly quieter.
Fan Xiaodong serves again, short backspin.
Wang Chao fought with him again.
This time the two sides were in a stalemate for longer, until the ninth round, Wang Chao once again exposed a flaw in the ball return. The ball was supposed to be close to the center line, but it fell to the backhand position close to the baseline.
Fan Xiaodong An extremely violent Taiwanese Overlord Twist.
His twisting of the ball was extremely fierce. He had directly twisted Wang Chao to death in the small arena of Liancheng City half a year ago. Today, his combat effectiveness has improved several times compared to before. The ball was shot with all his strength, with both power and spin. It also turned into a sharp straight line and flew almost close to one side of the table.
This ball directly screwed Wang Chao to death.
8:2.
Wang Chao, who regained the right to serve, let out a breath and his eyes became a little solemn.
He had to admit that the 8:0 just came too easily, and he was a little relaxed without knowing it.
It wasn't until these two consecutive balls had problems with the short swing that he realized that one of his guesses should be right.
In the surrounding stands, the local Swedish spectators also closed their mouths in astonishment and looked at the field with doubtful eyes.
Everyone realized something was wrong.
It seems that my guess just now was wrong.
It seems that I misunderstood Fan Xiaodong.
At this time they remembered something.
Although this 15-year-old super genius boy is extremely powerful, he has a deep-rooted problem: he is slow to warm up.
So it's not a fake match, Fan Xiaodong is just slowly finding the feeling.
And now, he has found it.
So the real war has officially begun now.
Far away in the ward of the Imperial Capital, Qin Huachang was showing a slightly proud smile, turning to look at Sun Tianlong who was still accompanying him. "A Long, do you see clearly?"
There was obvious shock in Sun Tianlong's eyes, and he nodded slightly. "This is really surprising... It turns out that my junior brother not only has strange powers, but he is also subtle."
(I'm really convinced. I haven't written anything. The previous chapter is under review again)
