The third game was the same as the first game, with Fan Xiaodong serving first.
He directly used a hook action to serve a side topspin ball. The ball was very long and very fast, and it went straight to the Wang Chao forehand baseline.
This is undoubtedly a signal that Fan Xiaodong has not given up yet and has come up with a new strategy.
You must know that in the first two games, he first took the initiative to send short backspin to force Wang Chao to play short, and then was forced to play short by Wang Chao. He spent most of the time actively playing the ball longer, trying hard to bring the ball into the stalemate, and then throwing away his arms to attack wildly from both sides.
It's a pity that facing Wang Chao's iron-clad defense, his offense didn't work.
And he is now serving a long ball with side topspin. If he is facing other players, it can be said that it is Sneak Long Serve, or he is seeking an opportunity to attack for himself. But facing Wang Chao, he has only one purpose in serving like this.
Please Wang Chao attack.
The whole world knows that Wang Chao never takes advantage of sneak attacks.
Sure enough, even though the ball was heavy and floating, Wang Chao still made an immediate prediction, turned slightly sideways, and hit the ball hard with a "pop".
This ball is a three-pointer and a seven-pointer. It does not spin very strongly, but it is extremely fast. It travels in a standard straight line and the landing point is very tricky. It is at a wide angle from the bottom line of the Fan Xiaodong forehand position.
Faced with this kind of ball, Fan Xiaodong's choice in the second game must be to move sideways to the right, stand firm, and then charge with all his strength to seek offensive initiative.
But this time he didn't rush to use all his strength. He just used five points of force to pull the ball back steadily and landed on the bottom line in the center of the table.
Because he didn't use too much force, he had better control, and he hit a chasing ball very accurately.
His original intention was to force Wang Chao to move, because as long as he moved, he had to find his balance again, and Wang Chao's balance ability was obviously not as good as his.
But Wang Chao didn't move. He just bowed his body slightly, leaned back slightly to make some space, raised his elbow, and pulled the ball back beautifully just by relying on the movements of his wrist and forearm.
The audience couldn't tell the difference, but many professional players couldn't help but applaud lightly.
A player's playing posture is very important. The better the player's posture, the better the posture and the better the force. However, the truly top players do not pay attention to completely standard postures, because they have thoroughly understood the essence of each posture to produce force, so they can make various adjustments according to the temporary situation.
Do you still remember that when Wang Chao was fighting Zhu Ding against Table Tennis First Division, did he take the initiative to attack the flaw in the central position of Zhu Ding? Zhu Ding The reason why there was a flaw at that time was because when the ball was in a completely central position, he could not decide immediately whether to catch it with a backhand or a forehand.
If he wants to twist backhand, he needs to move to the right first.
If he wants to pull forehand, he needs to move to the left first.
Ultimately, he has to move first and then catch the ball, so there is this choice to pause.
But now Wang Chao no longer even needs to move. He easily cracked Fan Xiaodong's little test in the narrow space where others could not exert force.
Of course, the quality of catching the ball in this way is not as high as moving first and then attacking, but it does not give the opponent any opportunity to take advantage of it.
Fan Xiaodong didn't care either. He pulled the ball again, still chasing Wang Chao's body at the center baseline.
At this point, many people have actually seen the intention of Fan Xiaodong.
In this game, he gave up using force and did not expect to kill Wang Chao with the high quality of a single board. Instead, he sought to use his landing points to contain Wang Chao, trying to force Wang Chao to keep moving.
After giving up exerting force, with his Microscopic Precision, he was indeed able to control the landing point of the ball very accurately.
What he wants to compare with Wang Chao is pace and balance.
It should be said that Fan Xiaodong has indeed found the key point, and his balance ability is indeed unparalleled in the world.
Once Wang Chao is mobilized to keep moving, the balance will be reduced. If he finds an opportunity to attack wildly, he will have a chance to break Wang Chao's iron wall.
However, Wang Chao understood his intention immediately. He would rather not take the initiative to attack, but stick to the table and try not to move as much as possible.
The audience found that the situation became very interesting because Wang Chao was also attacking Fan Xiaodong's bottom line in the center of the table.
The two sides are chasing each other.
Fan Xiaodong does not have the ability to exert force in a small space like Wang Chao. He is originally a heavy artillery player with a large open and close type. Once he is chased, he can only keep moving and then continue to use standard postures to exert force.
So the audience saw that although the first ball was not played fiercely, the posture of the players on both sides was very interesting.
Wang Chao was motionless, as if rooted, but Fan Xiaodong kept moving in front of the table, left and right. In the blink of an eye, eight rounds passed, and he made four or five trips.
"If this fight continues, Fan Xiaodong will be in a bad situation." Brother Da Ma said casually in the live broadcast room.
However, he forgot that there was a very capable guest next to him.
"You're wrong." Ye Hongye actually got a cup of hot tea from somewhere. The celadon-white porcelain cup had a classic charm. He gently played with the tea leaves floating on the water with the cup lid, blew on it, took a savory sip, and made a clear sucking sound. He calmly said, "If this is the case, then the outcome of this game is unpredictable."
Brother Da Ma was all amused by his actions and urged, "Okay, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Stop posing, you're not handsome..."
He suddenly paused when he said this. There were actually the words "still a little bald" behind it, which were too lethal and he didn't dare to say them out.
Ye Hongye glanced at him. "Why are you so anxious? It's still early in the game."
He took another sip, finally satisfied, and said, "You only saw Fan Xiaodong being mobilized by Wang Chao, but you didn't notice that the balls on both sides, no matter the height, line, or landing point, are actually very rigorous and completely flawless. This shows that even in the seemingly hectic and continuous running, there is no problem with Fan Xiaodong's center of gravity."
Brother Da Ma said, "But his physical consumption will be much greater than that of Wang Chao."
Ye Hongye even sneered, with an expression of contempt in his eyes. "Have you ever seen any player with Monstrous Strength Talent lose because he was too tired?"
Brother Da Ma said, "But if he always only controls the landing point without exerting force, Wang Chao can take the initiative to attack."
Ye Hongye sneered again, "He doesn't even want to move. The force he can exert in this situation is already very strong. How much force do you expect him to exert?"
Brother Da Ma said, "What should we do?"
"It's very simple." Ye Hongye appeared on the scene this time. Among other things, he showed the calmness of the Qingshui Yamen civil servant. He pointed forward with his hand slightly, with a gesture that had the charm of an orchid finger, and asserted. "Didn't you notice? This is actually a stalemate. They went from a stalemate to an offensive stalemate, and now it is a containment stalemate. As for who will win in the end, no one knows."
Brother Da Ma's live broadcast room barrage has become completely polarized at this time. The main reason is that Ye Hongye, a guest, is too good at pretending. He obviously changed his concept when he just ate canned herring. So at this moment, some of the more jealous viewers have directly started to curse and use all kinds of filthy words.
Blame him for pretending to be inferior, blast him for pretending to understand because he doesn't understand, blast him for not counting his words, blast him for being bald, blast him for being too old, blast him for being too ugly and thinking he is Yan Zu and Tian Le.
But another part of the audience thinks this guy is quite interesting. No matter how he talks, or his calmness in front of the camera, or even his very charming every move, he is quite a bit like a hermit.
So these people praised him on the screen for his temperament, for his insights, for being more professional than Brother Da Ma, for how gracefully he glanced at people sideways, for how his sneer was full of profound mockery of the world, for being a profound person, for laughing and scolding, and for doing whatever he wanted without breaking the rules.
In any case, Brother Da Ma is winning today, because whether the audience wants to slap Ye Hongye with a slap, or praise Ye Hongye with a rocket, the gifts are all sent to Brother Da Ma's account.
So for the sake of the show's effect, he went all out and exclaimed in surprise, "According to what you said, doesn't Fan Xiaodong have a chance to win this round?"
After finishing his compliments, Brother Da Ma felt a little nauseous in his heart, because he actually had a very good sense and was a huge fan of Wang Chao. He had already done in-depth research on Wang Chao, so he could naturally guess the subsequent changes in this round.
But there is no other way. In order to make money, I occasionally pretend to be stupid and not shabby.
Didn't you realize that your current popularity has completely suppressed the professional anchor Hou Xijia next door?
"Don't be impatient. Take your time and watch. There are still changes in this game." Ye Hongye is very cooperative. Now all that is left is a goose feather fan to perfectly restore Zhuge Liang.
He stood up with the teacup in hand, tried to straighten his waist, and tried to look tall and tall. He pointed forward with one hand as if pointing Jiang Shan.
"Fan Xiaodong has great ambitions and a good plan. He wants to make a comeback from adversity. Wang Chao has the opportunity to hide the universe and the ambition of the world. What he wants is to have a clean sheet. These two are heroes in the world and will not be willing to maintain this situation to the end."
There is no doubt that this post once again received countless gifts and slaps.
Ye Hongye sat down again, stretched one hand below the table to a place where the camera could not see, smiled at Brother Da Ma, and made a rubbing motion with his thumb and index finger to count money.
Brother Da Ma sighed in his heart, the person in front of him was really a veteran, he thought he could get whoring for free, but he was overthinking it.
In this case, the squire's money should be returned in full, and the people's money should be divided fifty-fifty. Forum bosses should do the same.
Fan Xiaodong and Wang Chao have indeed changed together.
In fact, what Ye Hongye said is right, the situation is a deadlock, and neither of the two people on the court likes the deadlock.
Because a stalemate means that the outcome depends on God's will. It is impossible to say who will win and who will lose. The greater possibility is that the two sides will continue to be in a stalemate.
After all, this kind of powerless ball really has no lethality, and the technical stability of both sides is high enough. This is different from dangerous fights and violent attacks. This kind of stalemate can really last forever.
So when Wang Chao gently pulled the ball in front of Fan Xiaodong again, Fan Xiaodong chose to move one step to the left and directly charged sideways, just like the second game, with a violent explosion.
This is actually a sneak attack.
Wang Chao Although he showed an iron-clad sneak attack in the second game, he has not received a high-quality impact until the third game. In this case, the player's hand and body will gradually cool down, and suddenly give him a super violent attack, and he may be killed.
But Wang Chao's attention was far more concentrated than Fan Xiaodong imagined. As soon as Fan Xiaodong exerted his strength, he almost took a step back. When the ball came, even though it was very heavy, he still forced the ball over.
That's right, they were "brought" there. This "bringing" is a technique, which means that the player can force the explosive ball to the route he wants through a large range of action patterns without emphasizing force.
There is no doubt that Wang Chao once again made it clear that he wanted to start the same pure defensive posture as in the second game.
But Fan Xiaodong refused to continue rushing. Facing Wang Chao's low-quality dribble, he actually chose to hit a long ball for the first time, still heading towards Wang Chao's center baseline.
This ball Wang Chao is not easy to pull over while standing still, because this ball is very spiny.
Wang Chao's choice is to directly turn sideways and force a heavy loop ball with forehand.
Yes, he took the initiative.
His overall strategy in playing Fan Xiaodong is defensive, which does not mean that he will not attack at all when there are good opportunities. In fact, of the 11 goals he won in the second game, although 7 came from defense, the other 4 came from offense after all.
A style of play that does not attack at all has no future. The so-called defensive style of play essentially just means that when there is not a good enough opportunity, the focus is on defense.
But Fan Xiaodong's reaction at this time is very interesting.
When Wang Chao moved, he also moved. It felt like the kind of anticipatory defense he used when playing Hook. The two sides moved almost simultaneously. Then Fan Xiaodong stretched out the racket, flipped his wrist, and went straight forward to fight hard.
All the spectators could clearly see that what Fan Xiaodong was using now was indeed the classic anticipatory defense move. However, he himself had strong physical strength, so after making the anticipatory decision, he was not satisfied with letting the opponent's ball hit his racket accurately, but directly faced the ball's incoming force.
This style of play reminds many old viewers of a character.
Bay Island Table Tennis Association head coach Jiang Peirong.
Jiang Peirong is an old-school figure. At that time, the table tennis world did not have the Penhold Backhand Loop technology. The Jiang Peirong, which uses a Fahrenheit straight bar, defeated many good players with one powerful push and block, and became world-famous.
His reputation for this explosive push is even far greater than the honors he has achieved, because his honors are really not that good.
And Fan Xiaodong's fight will only be more powerful than Jiang Peirong, because both table tennis equipment and table tennis technology have developed rapidly in the past few decades.
Fan Xiaodong accurately judged the direction in which Wang Chao was pulling the ball. The ball came back with an indescribable speed, and two consecutive impacts occurred almost at the same time.
Wang Chao really didn't expect this time. By the time he saw the ball coming, it was already too late, and he was directly beaten to death by him in this way.
1:0.
No one expected that Fan Xiaodong, who was already at the end of his game, would win the first game at the beginning of the third game.
