Mizutori Hato serves directly Sneak Long Serve.
Compared with Wang Chao, Mizutori Hato has many options for serving, because the person receiving the ball is Tang Yuanyuan, and Tang Yuanyuan's technique is relatively rough. This is now known to the whole world.
In fact, when Tang Dynasty Combination came to Malaysia, all the past competition history of Tang Yuanyuan has been uncovered by fans from all over the world. On the one hand, everyone is very curious about who can compete with Wang Chao from the Chinese table tennis women's team with many experts. On the other hand, everyone is also planning to find a breakthrough in Tang Yuanyuan.
After all, the female players in Mixed Doubles are the breakthrough point themselves, and Wang Chao is a completely clueless hedgehog.
Mizutori Hato threw the ball high and then started a series of confusing actions.
Before the ball fell, his body swayed slightly from side to side, wandering unsteadily. After the ball fell, he first made a simple cutting backspin gesture, but the moment the racket made contact with the ball, it quickly shook in the opposite direction. At the same time, his forearm was sent forward, forming a fierce forward thrust. When the ball left the racket, his racket changed direction again, as if he could not hold back the inertia and swung outward.
This fake move can be said to be crazy, because it was done too much, causing his body to tilt in the direction of his arms swinging away. It was obvious that the force exerted was too complicated and he could not hold back the momentum.
But the effect is also obvious. At least many professional players watching the live broadcast did not understand what Mizutori Hato was serving at this moment.
Topspin?
Backspin?
Right spin?
Left rotation?
Not turning?
It seems possible.
It can be said that Mizutori Hato really showed off its skills.
Even though the Sakura Country combination just lost two points, this serve still caused many people in the stands to marvel, and some even applauded.
Tang Yuanyuan's reaction is also very interesting.
After she judged that the ball was about to come out, she backed away and turned sideways without hesitation.
This sideways movement is not to rush forward, but to make way for the ball and let it fly for a while.
She really didn't understand what kind of ball it was, but Wang Chao had already told her how to deal with it before the game.
The ball flew to a position more than one meter away from the table, and then the speed slowed down and the height dropped below the table surface.
Then Tang Yuanyuan let out a clear cry of "ha" and pulled up directly with his forehand.
At this moment, many people in the audience or in front of the screen had their eyes widened, and some even stood up in shock.
Because Tang Yuanyuan's response is definitely more insane than Mizutori Hato's super fake serve.
Damn she actually made a skillless forehand shot from the far end and forced the ball.
This is no longer the masculine way of playing for female players.
This is completely a masculine style of play for male players.
In the past, people also said that Tang Yuanyuan is Monstrous Strength Girl, but most of them just thought that she was very strong and could perform some of the operations of male players, but what is this now?
Now this is to tell everyone nakedly: It's not that I can only perform the operations of some male players, but that only some male players can perform the operations of mine.
Not every male player in COSCO can do something like forcefully looping the ball, at least Zhang Benkuang, who is still in the development stage, and Lin Zijun, who is thin, certainly can't do it.
Regardless of who wins or loses in today's game, or who wins or loses in this game, just with this pull, Tang Yuanyuan turned this scene into her famous scene.
The ball drew an extremely long arc and landed on the opposite table. The visual effect was quite shocking.
But it actually has no power.
Because even for Tang Yuanyuan, pulling the ball like this was already the limit. At best, she successfully pulled the ball over. As for the rotation and strength, she could no longer care about it.
So in the eyes of Ichikawa Mima who caught the ball, this was actually a good opportunity.
Without hesitation, she lifted the board sideways and slapped hard.
This ball is full force, without any reservation.
The ball was as fast as lightning, traveling in a straight line, and accurately landed on the forehand bottom line of the opposite table at a large angle.
There is no doubt that this is a killer.
But Wang Chao didn't panic.
He steadily took two steps back, then moved two steps to the right. Facing the ball that had already flown out of the stage, he directly made a super long side cut.
This ball was cut exquisitely. The ball flew back along a very low horizontal line, flew over the net, and landed directly very close to the net.
The exclamations in the stands grew louder and louder, and by this time they had formed into irrepressible group cheers, followed by thunderous applause.
This ball is so beautiful. First Mizutori Hato showed off his serve, then Tang Yuanyuan showed off his power, and now Wang Chao showed off his touch. Every ball was beautiful. It can be said that it was completely played as an exhibition match.
However, Mizutori Hato on the field had a toothache at this moment.
He discovered that it was obviously a ball that our side had already taken the initiative, but why did it return to the table with short backspin for no reason?
That's right, isn't the ball returned by Wang Chao the most standard, impeccable short backspin?
Mizutori Hato After thinking about it, there are only two choices I can make.
First, leave the baseline at a wide angle, just like the first ball.
Second, swing short, like the second ball.
Then...
Then the result is probably similar to the first two goals, most likely losing points.
Mizutori Hato finally decided to choose three.
He came directly to the stage and violently picked me up.
However, the challenge failed. The ball hit the net and spun violently, but it did not crawl over.
3:0, Tang Dynasty Combination scored another point.
Mizutori Hato regained the right to serve.
He couldn't find his train of thought and turned to look at his partner.
Ichikawa Mima made a gesture to him, then nodded vigorously.
It means. "Keep posting like this, trust me."
So Mizutori Hato threw it high again, made another series of dazzling fake moves, and finally pushed the ball hard.
But Tang Yuanyuan did not retreat this time and wait for the ball to slow down.
Because she understood Mizutori Hato's serve this time.
After all, she was taught step by step by Wang Chao for two months, and she still learned something. She couldn't learn the advanced skills in technical aspects and tactical games, but it was easy to learn to receive the serve.
Everyone knows that the first three boards are played in mixed doubles, and they all know that doubles pays more attention to serving than singles. So how could she not do special training in this area with a world-class serving master like Wang Chao?
It can only be said that Mizutori Hato's serve is indeed very good, and there are indeed many confusing moves, but in comparison, it has not yet reached the level of Wang Chao's serve.
When Wang Chao shows off his serve, Tang Yuanyuan has a 40% chance of seeing it clearly.
And when Mizutori Hato shows off his serve, Tang Yuanyuan has at least a 50% chance of seeing it clearly.
She didn't understand the first one clearly, but she understood the second one.
This ball looks fancy and spins strongly, but in fact, it doesn't spin.
Mizutori Hato is still waiting for Tang Yuanyuan to catch the ball and get high.
Little do they know that a billiard ball that doesn't spin after being seen through is like meat being sent to the tiger's mouth.
Tang Yuanyuan turned sideways without hesitation and hit a forward looping ball with 120% of his strength.
This is her favorite way of playing right now: hugging her no matter what.
This board once again killed Ichikawa Mima.
4:0.
The audience roared with laughter.
This is not to mock Mizutori Hato, but the scene effect is indeed very dramatic. It feels like you have been jumping around in front of me for a long time, showing off in various ways, and then I slap you to death easily.
Is the contrast cute?
When the ball hit here, both Mizutori Hato and Ichikawa Mima were a little confused.
Especially Ichikawa Mima.
She actually felt that there was a chance for the third ball. Mizutori Hato could force Tang Yuanyuan to retreat, and then she attacked and continued to force Wang Chao to retreat. Two passes and two retreats., it was considered a great situation anyway. She didn't believe that Tang Yuanyuan could pull out that amazing mid-range loop shot every time, and she didn't believe that Wang Chao could hit that ultra-long-distance backspin shot every time.
To take a step back, even if the situation repeats itself, we may not lose in the future.
At the time of the third goal, our team was not lagging behind. It was just that the senior Mizutori got impatient and failed to challenge.
She feels she has found the right way to win.
However, she didn't expect that the fourth ball didn't even get to that point.
Tang Yuanyuan gets the right to serve.
She directly Sneak Long Serve.
Ichikawa Mima is worthy of being the talented female player Sakura Country. She keenly judged Tang Yuanyuan's intention, moved directly sideways, and hit the opponent's backhand baseline with a fierce backhand rubber bullet.
At this moment, she felt a little happy, because no matter how you looked at this situation of successful direct attack, our side had the absolute initiative.
She was following a path of speed, so her movement and hitting range were not large. The ball was very hidden and full of suddenness. According to her guess, Wang Chao either couldn't react at all, or could barely keep up and save the ball in a hurry.
Then, with one gesture, Senior Mizutori was able to hit the board with a powerful forehand, directly penetrating Tang Yuanyuan.
We're finally going to score...
Ichikawa Mima thinks so.
However, the situation was completely different from what she imagined.
As soon as her backhand flick came out, Wang Chao reacted as if she had been prepared for it.
He did not step back from the stage, nor did he move his steps. He just stretched out his arm like lightning, placed the racket vertically, and then adjusted the angle to form a small downward angle.
Ichikawa Mima's fast ball hit the table, bounced, and hit Wang Chao's extended racket. It bounced back at a faster speed and landed near the net.
On the contrary, Mizutori Hato was caught off guard and hurriedly stepped forward to save the ball, but it was already too late and the ball flew out from the side.
5:0.
Yichuan refused to accept it and gritted his teeth, his eyes full of determination. "Come again."
Tang Yuanyuan continues to serve, still Sneak Long Serve.
Ichikawa Mima once again successfully predicted, moved sideways to attack, and another lightning-fast ball inside the table.
The audience seemed to be watching a game replay, watching the ball fly past, hit the table, bounce, land on the racket, bounce again, and then fly out from the side.
Even Mizutori Hato's actions in hastily saving the ball after being startled were exactly the same.
The score on the electronic scoreboard jumped and became 6:0. This made everyone realize that what they just watched was not a replay, but two real balls that were exactly the same...
Ichikawa Mima raised her head, with a look of disbelief in her eyes, and looked across. She stared at Wang Chao's face, as if she wanted to see how this man did it.
Wang Chao naturally felt the gaze from the opposite side. His eyes met Ichikawa Mima, and then he smiled slightly.
In fact, just as all partners in other associations are trying to find a breakthrough from Tang Yuanyuan, Wang Chao is also looking for a breakthrough from Ichikawa Mima.
In fact, he has defeated Mizutori Hato twice in singles, and he is confident that he can continue to beat Mizutori Hato in future singles, but he will never think that he can use Mizutori Hato as a breakthrough in mixed doubles.
Sakura Country The breakthrough point for the No. 1 seed combination must be Ichikawa Mima.
Just because Ichikawa Mima is a female player.
Yes, it's that simple.
Mixed Doubles is actually a somewhat strange event. The inherent differences in physical strength and physique between male and female players result in Mixed Doubles being a model in which the strong lead the weak. The so-called upwardly compatible style of play can at best make this lead appear more harmonious, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the disparity in strength between the two partners.
According to Wang Chao's understanding, if we really want to talk about technical content and tacit cooperation, mixed doubles cannot compare to Men's Doubles.
If you must choose the most valuable and beautiful among the three doubles in table tennis, it would definitely be Men's Doubles.
But it is precisely because International Table Tennis Federation wants to help other associations catch up with China Table Tennis that they come up with such a strange thing as "letting mixed doubles enter the Olympics".
Wang Chao reluctantly accepted this setting, but it does not mean that he really thinks that mixed doubles is a mature project.
Mixed doubles is destined to be immature.
Since it is immature, there must be a fatal and irreparable fundamental flaw, and this flaw can only be caused by the female players in the group.
