At that time, Qin Huachang was no longer in Sweden. He Jingping, Fan Xiaodong's temporary mentor, was Wang Chao's teacher. Fan Xiaodong was ultimately responsible for He Jingping. After all, he was not familiar enough. He just thought to himself, "Oh, originally the teacher asked me to do my best to defend, but now I have another set of tactics, so why should I do the best in defense? After all, the teacher has told me before. Facing Brother Chao, if you can hide some tricks, then try to hide them as much as possible."

Fan Xiaodong seems to be a silly Little Fatty trick, and he doesn't know much about the world, but in fact he has a talent. Not only is he extremely talented in learning football, but he also has amazing intuition in actual playing. He felt that hiding his clumsiness was right, so he just hid it under the huge pressure of Hook.

He has been hiding it until today. After getting over the slow heat in the early stage, his body gradually became more active. Finally, he relied on this hand to master the subtleties, and his successful skills shocked everyone.

All of Fan Xiaodong's strategies and tactics, until the score became 8:2, were all correct, and there was nothing wrong with them. Especially when he temporarily changed his tactics to defeat Hook, he simply did a few points better than Qin Huachang's best prediction.

But then he was dead wrong.

After all, the 15-year-old boy still has enough blood. He doesn't want to score just through sneak attacks. He actually wants to do it again. After Wang Chao pays attention to it, he can defeat Wang Chao from the front and from the touch.

"Hey, my precious disciple, why can't you think about it so hard..." Qin Huachang was about to cry but had no tears.

God knows how much effort he put into helping Fan Xiaodong defeat Wang Chao.

A monster like Wang Chao has almost no flaws in his body. Qin Huachang has the opportunity to have close contact with Wang Chao. Naturally, he will not be like Old Wa or Just like Rohlskov, he thought he had found the flaws of Wang Chao just by studying the video. He really found some flaws of Wang Chao through accumulation, careful observation, careful thinking, and careful analysis in the end.

Even that can't be called a flaw, it can only be called a "relatively weak link prone to unforced errors."

Wang Chao's in-table small ball technology is naturally not a weak link, but considering that Fan Xiaodong also has very strong in-table small ball technology and is currently hidden, this is an important part of defeating Wang Chao.

Of course, this does not mean forcibly suppressing Wang Chao from the front.

Qin Huachang can still be seen clearly. Although Fan Xiaodong feels good in hand, if it really wants to compete with Wang Chao, I am afraid it is still a few points behind.

The stability is a bit worse.

The way the ball is handled is a bit lacking.

There are a little less changes within the stage.

There's a little less spin.

The ability to find opportunities to take advantage of the situation is a bit poor.

Well, that's five points in total.

The part about rotation is not a problem with Fan Xiaodong itself, but is caused by the difference in the racket rubber used by both parties. After all, the Super Luo racket itself is almost the one that emphasizes friction most among the rackets used by active professional players.

Therefore, the real meaning of Fan Xiaodong hiding his Microscopic Precision level touch is not to really suppress Wang Chao from the small ball in the table, but to catch Wang Chao by surprise.

Any player will have an estimate of his opponent before the game, and will use this to formulate tactics and prepare for difficulties. Fan Xiaodong's hidden clumsiness is precisely to break this estimate and make Wang Chao make prediction errors. In this way, Wang Chao will be forced to make adjustments to the design of the entire game before the game.

Wang Chao will be restrained by the opponent's sudden strong ability to play inside the table. Many of the previously thought-out playing methods are forced to change. However, at this time, there is no off-field coach to help him think and guide. When others are on the field, their brains must focus on every ball at the moment, and there is no spare time to re-formulate tactics.

This is the real purpose of Qin Huachang.

As for direct confrontation...

Total nonsense!

If you do this, big trouble will happen!

Facts have proved that the truth is in the hands of a few people.

Qin Huachang guessed it right.

The ball was played for twenty-seven rounds, which was considered crazy. In the end, it was Fan Xiaodong who finally had technical fluctuations in the twenty-seventh round and the ball was returned too high.

Wang Chao hit directly, using seven points of force.

The intensity of this attack was not too great, but Fan Xiaodong was killed without even trying to save him.

This is naturally not because he lacks fighting spirit, but because twenty-seven consecutive rounds of in-table ball have consumed him far more than outsiders imagined. He has reached his limit at this moment, and he can no longer start again.

From here you can see the difference in ability attributes between Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong.

Fan Xiaodong is a stamina monster. He can run around the field with crazy force and charge continuously without getting tired at all. However, this kind of stalemate in which he tenses up and carefully maintains his touch, fearing the slightest mistake, is very difficult for him and he cannot bear it.

But Wang Chao is just the opposite. Wang Chao's physical strength has been improving, but so far he can't compete with these perverts with Monstrous Strength Talent. If you let him rush continuously, he will be like an ordinary player, with a maximum of three rebounds, but if you let him compete with you on the stage and play tricks, he can play with you all day long.

Although Fan Xiaodong is very smart, he is still essentially a manual worker. Although Wang Chao's strength has been increasing, he is still a mental worker no matter how you add it.

This is the real reason why Qin Huachang thinks something big is going to happen.

Just watching a game or a few games, you might think that Wang Chao is just a little better than Fan Xiaodong, but in fact, for a little silver coin like Wang Chao, most of his life is spent on calculations. He does this kind of thing just like eating and drinking. It is natural.

Fan Xiaodong, on the other hand, was filled with the desire to win, so he held his breath, held on tightly, and performed beyond his level. He was able to hold on until now. To be honest, it was far beyond Qin Huachang's expectations.

But here comes the problem.

The longer he held this breath, the greater the consumption, and when the breath finally came out at this moment, Fan Xiaodong would inevitably suffer great psychological trauma.

The reason why he didn't even respond to a seven-point challenge on the stage was because he was actually very depressed at this moment. This depression even affected his state, making his movements slow and his mind going blank.

It's a feeling of collapse of faith.

Although this belief is just an illusion caused to him by the previous two wins.

The score became 9:2.

At this point in the game, there was basically no suspense. The next few balls Fan Xiaodong just resisted hastily. It was obvious that his condition was damaged, and he finally lost 11:2.

He returned to the sidelines, drank a few sips of water, sat down and took a deep breath, placed his hands on both sides of his head, lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes, and silently recalled in his mind the on-the-spot mental issues that Qin Huachang had warned him many times, and tried his best to adjust his state.

Wang Chao on the other side had the same posture as him. He also lowered his head and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing, but his expression was far less solemn than Fan Xiaodong.

This scene made the audience's imagination wander again, and rumors about "Asian Evil Arts" or "Hua Ping's unique adjustment secret technique" began to spread among the audience and on the forum.

Even coaches such as Rohlskov are thinking, should we let our players use this posture to adjust their condition during halftime in the future?

Soon the second game started, and Fan Xiaodong returned to the field.

His adjustment ability is very good. He has quickly corrected his mentality and no longer actively seeks to compete with Wang Chao. Instead, just like in the last game with Hook, when Wang Chao served short backspin, he directly left the baseline to long the ball.

His touch is enough for him to hit a very low and spinning baseline ball, which is not a good opportunity for Wang Chao to take the lead.

Here again the difference between Wang Chao and other top players is reflected.

If you switch to Hook and Fan Xiaodong, if you encounter a long ball from the baseline, no matter whether it can turn or not, it will just hit the board. Because they are strong enough, as long as the skills are in place, they can pull out a powerful heavy arc.

But the weak point of Wang Chao is here. Although it can be pulled by him, the power is not strong enough. Once the power of your kick is not strong enough, it will become an opportunity for the opponent to forcefully pull back.

So for this kind of ball, Wang Chao chooses to rub the ball and add changing lines.

The purpose of rubbing the ball is to create spin so that the opponent cannot lift the ball.

The purpose of changing the line is to force the opponent to move, because as we all know, movement will damage the balance.

But this doesn't work for Fan Xiaodong.

Don't forget, Fan Xiaodong's most powerful thing is still his violent attack.

The angle of Wang Chao's ball change was large enough and the backspin was strong enough, but Fan Xiaodong still did not hesitate to take a step laterally and re-twist the ball directly on the table.

He moved his arms with his whole body and made a half-turn movement. This posture seemed to have both strength and beauty, and the force was completely transparent, like a powerful punch, hitting him hard.

Faced with this ball, Wang Chao has only two options.

Either step back, which can dissolve the power of the ball, and then add Pike-style backhand loop. The quality of the ball pulled over will not be too high, but it will not reveal any flaws. 80% of the time this ball will turn into a stalemate between the two sides. However, considering that Fan Xiaodong did not step back, but he did, so he naturally fell into a passive position.

Of course, he could not regress, but in the arena, he used the Super Luo, which was very easy to spin, and the Wang Chao really couldn't pull such a heavy ball, so he could only use push and block to push the ball back.

This is a direct decision to let the winner go. After all, the advantages and disadvantages of hitting the ball are equally obvious. The advantage is that the ball is returned quickly enough to catch the opponent off guard. The disadvantage is that there is no rotation at all and the quality of the board is too low. Once the opponent has predicted it and quickly attacks with a board, you will probably not be able to catch it.

Wang Chao had no hesitation, because this was a situation he had already considered before the game, and he chose to retreat and pull back.

After all, what he is looking for is a sustainable and repeatable coping strategy, rather than a completely resigned gambling style of winning or losing.

As soon as he retreated, Fan Xiaodong suddenly felt relieved, and his body was obviously relieved from the tension. This meant that he had actually concentrated all his attention just now, and was ready for Wang Chao to fight hard, and he really planned to hit the ball back hard.

Fan Xiaodong Forehand pull.

Wang Chao pulls back with the forehand.

Fan Xiaodong adjusted his pace and charged directly with his forehand.

Wang Chao pulls back again.

Fan Xiaodong exploded for the second time.

Wang Chao pulls back again.

When the ball is hit, the situation is relatively clear. Although both sides seem to be pulling at each other, Wang Chao's pulling is obviously not pursuing quality, but pursuing the chance of getting on the court, so the force is not very strong. In many cases, it has the meaning of "quickly", just asking for the ball to have a good arc and landing point. On the other hand, Fan Xiaodong's killer move.

Obviously, Wang Chao has assumed a clear defensive posture.

In fact, this is what Wang Chao had planned before the game started.

Playing Fan Xiaodong is just like playing Hook. In essence, this must be a defensive ball.

Just like the conversation in the restaurant the day before yesterday, what Wang Chao has to do is to hold on steadily.

Fan Xiaodong's technical stability is stronger than Hook, but its single-board attack power is weaker than Hook. Strictly speaking, it is Fan Xiaodong's offense that is easier to defend, because its offensive intensity does not exceed the defensive limit of Wang Chao.

Therefore, Wang Chao only needs to be stable enough.

It just so happens that Wang Chao is more stable than those veterans.
