There is not much to say about the next game. From an objective evaluation, the strength of Taiwan Island Combination is indeed inferior to that of Sakura Country. Although Lin Zijun is not inferior to today's Mizutori Hato in singles, in doubles, Lin Zijun The forehand lethality of Mizutori Hato is far lower than that of Mizutori Hato. At the same time, the delicate ball handling of Lin Zijun in the table is not as delicate as that of Mizutori Hato with Microscopic Precision. Therefore, comparing the two combinations, the Sakura Country combination of male players wins completely.
The comparison between female players is actually very subtle.
Zhen Jing is considered to be a very powerful female player, and her forehand and backhand loop shots are also remarkable. In doubles, her offensive ability is obviously stronger than Ichikawa Mima, although she cannot hit Wearing Wang Chao, she can actually defeat many other male players, such as Zhang Benkuang, so in mixed doubles competitions, she can actually make appropriate exceptions based on her opponents.
But when it comes to defense, ball play, and small ball handling in the table, Zhen Jing is far inferior to Ichikawa Mima. After all, Ichikawa Mima owns Microscopic Precision, and she has been practicing the never-retreat style of play since she was a child. As long as she is willing to be responsible for defense and ball control, she can almost achieve the ultimate goal of a female player.
In fact, in the previous mixed doubles final of Olympic Games, the reason why the Chinese Ping Ping team lost was precisely because the Chinese Ping Ping female players were anxious to launch attacks continuously at the last moment, while the Sakura Country female players restrained all their desire to attack and perfectly turned into a watertight iron wall.
Therefore, the defeat of Huaping in the previous decisive game was not so much due to strength or luck, but rather to the fact that one side firmed up its tactics at the last moment, while the other side abandoned it.
The winner of the first game was decided in just six minutes, with the final score being 11:3.
Facts have proved that although Lin Zijun's serve poses a certain threat to Tang Yuanyuan, it is not enough to directly score.
But once Zhen Jing's ball falls into Wang Chao's hands, Wang Chao can hit almost every ball directly, without exception.
The natural gap between male and female players, coupled with the technical level of Wang Chao Grandmaster level, meant that no matter how Zhen Jing tried to guard against it, there would definitely be flaws, and she simply couldn't guard against it.
As for Wang Chao's attack, it is difficult for Lin Zijun to block it. Even if he prepares early, or steps back and returns the ball, he will be directly killed by Tang Yuanyuan's second rebound.
By this time, Lin Zijun naturally understood why Tang Yuanyuan caught his ball in the first game.
Because the opponent has made it clear that our offensive power is not enough to bully, no matter how the situation evolves, as long as it develops to the moment Wang Chao catches the ball, the outcome is determined.
This is so bullying.
But Lin Zijun and Zhen Jing really have nothing to do.
In the second game, the order of receiving the ball was exchanged. Tang Yuanyuan served and Lin Zijun received the ball. The specific situation was different from the first game, but the situation did not improve in any way.
Tang Yuanyuan sent topspin Bullet Serve all the way, with no intention of covering up at all. Tang Dynasty Combination had only one attitude: refusing to fight shortcomings.
Lin Zijun knew very well that this was because Wang Chao wanted to attack.
But he couldn't help it. Tang Yuanyuan's serve neither focused on placement nor deception. He pursued power and speed wholeheartedly. His purpose was very clear. He didn't want Lin Zijun to handle the ball into a short backspin, nor did he want Lin Zijun to twist his backhand.
Because short backspin will cause continuous stalemates, and Tang Yuanyuan is not strong in intra-stage stalemates.
At the same time, Lin Zijun's backhand twist was too fast and tricky, and Wang Chao was afraid that he would not be able to catch it.
However, the shortcomings of this kind of serve are also obvious. After all, it is launched without backspin. This is a clear way to make the opponent retreat and rush sideways to attack.
Lin Zijun was naturally not polite and hit the ball directly on the first ball.
He knew that Wang Chao must have been mentally prepared for this kind of ball. He also knew that Wang Chao was now stronger. His explosive charge might be able to be pulled back directly by the opponent, and the pulled ball would probably be quite powerful for Zhen Jing.
But he didn't expect that Wang Chao wouldn't pull back at all.
As soon as he charged, Wang Chao retreated, taking three or four steps, and then cut sideways from a long distance.
This is a style of play that purely shows off the touch and skills. It is usually used in exhibition matches. In the main game, it is usually the last resort for players to save the ball after being forced to retreat from the stage by the opponent. It is not like a practical style of play in normal games.
But the side cut of Wang Chao not only pays attention to rotation and trajectory, but also the landing point.
The ball steadily hit the left edge of the table at Zhen Jing. Judging from the trajectory, it would not come out from the bottom line of the table, but from the side of the table.
Because it is a side cut rather than a slice, it also has some horizontal turns.
This kind of ball is extremely difficult to cut, and once successful, it is also quite difficult to deal with. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a super ball.
Zhen Jing has obviously never encountered this kind of ball, because when Women's Singles is playing, almost no one retreats from the stage, and even if they do, they usually only take one step back. This kind of ultra-long-distance side cut is rarely encountered by even male players, let alone female players?
She was in a panic. She stretched out her racket and tried to swing it short, but the ball flew directly after hitting the rubber.
After the ball was played, Taiwan Island Combination knew in his heart that the game was over.
In fact, Tang Dynasty Combination's playing style is not new. He still relies on Wang Chao to defeat Zhen Jing.
But in terms of specific methods, Wang Chao is not restricted by the basic tactics of mixed doubles.
In the first game, when he had a chance to attack, he directly used his attack to kill Zhen Jing.
In this game, Tang Yuanyuan obviously couldn't restrain Lin Zijun, and Wang Chao wanted to catch the ball from Lin Zijun, so he was not sure he could find a good offensive opportunity. In this case, he chose to use his skills to kill Zhen Jing.
So as soon as Lin Zijun attacks, he retreats. He chooses to cut sideways from a long distance. This is definitely an unconventional method. If other players dare to do this, nine out of ten will commit suicide directly.
But he can guarantee that at least nine out of ten balls will be successful.
The strongly rotating super ball cut by the male player is indeed not something that the female player can handle.
What's more, he doesn't have to retreat and cut sideways. In fact, he can also try to pull the ball from a long distance, or he can not retreat at all, try to anticipate Lin Zijun's attack, and hit a super-fast turning ball.
Any way is possible because he knows how to do it.
The reason why these playing methods can be achieved is ultimately because he has increased his strength. The gap between him and Lin Zijun in the attack power of the forehand position has completely widened.
As for Lin Zijun's ultra-fast backhand position and Extreme Speed Talent's mobility, Wang Chao is actually still afraid of it, but this is a doubles after all. He only needs to let Tang Yuanyuan use Bullet Serve to limit Lin Zijun's backhand twist.
"Actually, by now, it's already obvious how mixed doubles should be played."
The speaker was Ye Hongye, the special guest of Brother Da Ma. The forum boss is good at writing articles, and naturally he is also good at summarizing long speeches. "Looking at all Tang Dynasty Combination's games, from the scene, what you can see is almost all the players' personal abilities. You have to say that between them I really don't know how good the coordination is. If I were to comment, I think Jiang Peirong is right. The one with the highest degree of coordination is Taiwan Island Combination, followed by the No. 1 seed combination Sakura Country, and then Tang Dynasty Combination."
"Yes." Brother Da Ma followed up. "Tang Dynasty Combination's cooperation can only be said to be passable. They can win because at every critical moment, someone steps forward and uses their own special abilities to break the deadlock. This fully proves that pure upward compatibility is not enough, and the players' personal abilities must be tapped. The coaches of the major associations may have a headache."
"But this tactical system is not easy to implement." Ye Hongye smiled gleefully, "Each player has different personal strengths. How to adjust them during the specific game, how to highlight the advantages, and how to hide the shortcomings, it's all complicated when you think about it."
"It may be more complicated than you think." Brother Da Ma also gloated. "Have you noticed that Tang Dynasty Combination played the Sakura Country combination yesterday and Taiwan Island Combination today. In fact, the specific tactics are different. They adjust their response methods based on the opponent's abilities and attributes."
This is more complicated.
Just imagine, a player is very powerful, so when the coach is creating tactics, he needs to find a way to highlight his advantages and compete with the opponent for strength.
But what if the opponent you encounter today is more powerful than yourself?
Then this advantage is not an advantage, but becomes a disadvantage. Not only can you not compete with the opponent for strength, but you must also try to prevent the other party from taking the initiative to compete with you for strength.
Then you have to completely change your serve-receiving sequence and offensive mode.
The scope of this tactical adjustment is not ordinary.
In fact, Tang Dynasty Combination still has an advantage in tactical adjustments, because Wang Chao has reached the extreme in the field of pure technology, and Tang Yuanyuan currently seems to be the strongest among female players. This leads to them not being suppressed by the opponent in their own strengths when designing tactics, and there are not so many overly complex tactical adjustments.
But for other ordinary players, the situation is ever-changing. Speed, power, rotation, technology, any Coach He standard may become a strength or a weakness.
Ye Hongye couldn't help but sigh, "Headache."
Brother Da Ma also sighed, "I have a headache."
Coach Cheng Aimin and Qiu Yinong, who were far away in the imperial capital, also hugged their heads. "My head hurts..."
The mixed doubles final finally ended at 9:57 in the morning. The four games lasted for a total of 27 minutes. In the end, Taiwan Island Combination was defeated as expected.
Fortunately, although the score was very different, his head was not shaved.
After this game, what followed was the final match: the Men's Singles final.
Forty-five minutes later, Xiao Fei defeated Bai Feng 4:3 and won the Malaysia Open championship.
Xiao Fei, this Buddha-like player who lacked the will to win, finally showed his sharp fangs again after a whole year of silence.
He is not just the former world number one in mixed doubles.
He is also a Men's Singles World Ranking Second person who has been as stable as a rock for many years.
When he wants to win the championship, as long as Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu are not around, he can still win.
"Ouch!"
"Ooooooo!"
"Hoo ho ho!"
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
There are ghosts crying and wolf howling on the small mountain. This is not because there is a lunatic running away from the hospital, but because Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan is practicing Qigong.
After two months of practice, Wang Chao has now officially learned all the physical fitness methods passed down from Tang Yuanyuan's family. There are a total of five animal postures: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird. There are as few as six or seven movements and as many as twenty-seven or eight. There is no regularity at all. In total, there are more than eighty movements, which are combined with the breathing method. It is indeed complicated to say that it is complicated. However, once you have practiced it, once you form muscle memory, you don't really need to use your brain to remember it.
But in Wang Chao's opinion, the biggest significance of this kind of exercise is not actually to strengthen the body, but two other points.
First, learn to be shameless.
When Wang Chao first crossed over, he was still shameless, and he was too embarrassed to shout out during the game, but since he was forced to take off his clothes by Brother Geng, he seemed to have opened up his inner and outer veins, and started to rush forward on the shameless road.
Tang Yuanyuan This set of exercises, the first move is to lie down on the ground and pretend to be a tiger, shaking your head and tail, shaking your head is easy to understand. As for tail wagging, humans don't have tails, but it's okay to twist their buttocks, but it's not very elegant, especially for girls...
In short, this posture was intimidating to many girls in the women's team who wanted to learn how to play, but Wang Chao had no burden from the first day and got started quickly. Later, he even imitated Tang Yuanyuan, doing postures and imitating animal sounds, like a madman.
The matter of liberating nature is still meaningful. Now the two of them have become accustomed to all kinds of howling on the small mountain. They even sang and I came on the stage, shouting one after another. While exercising, they even did the work of hoisting their voices. Tigers roared, apes roared, bears roared, deer roared, and birds chirped. If they were given a table, a gavel, and a screen in front, it would be no problem to perform ventriloquism or something.
The second meaning is that as partners, there was only a slight gap between the two on the first day, but they quickly became harmonious from the second day of practice.
This is also reasonable.
After all, I've seen you, a girl, wagging her tail, and you've seen me, a handsome guy, beating his chest and roaring like a bear. Do we know each other's true identity?
Then you can just count yourself as one of your own.
When it comes to a mixed doubles partnership, most outsiders only focus on whether the two players' playing styles complement each other, whether they have a forehand and a backhand, whether they are of the same age, and whether they have good brains. But in fact, tacit understanding is a prerequisite that is more important than these.
And tacit understanding must be directly proportional to the degree of harmony in the relationship.
That's why Tang Yuanyuan, an old-fashioned and very independent girl, became very obedient in the subsequent practice, allowing Wang Chao to make all kinds of messy changes to her tactical system, until now she can do nothing but doubles.
A few days ago, Tang Dynasty Combination returned from Malaysia with the power of winning the championship. He was really praised by the coaching staff. After the praise, Cai Guodong gave the two of them a day off.
Even though she couldn't do much in one day, Tang Yuanyuan still came to the training hall. She suddenly had a whim and wanted to try singles again.
She was full of confidence, and felt that she was now someone who had fought against male players in the world. Now that she turned around to deal with female players, she would definitely be able to kill everyone and reduce the dimension. Wang Yu Shen Sha and others were also there, so she openly invited a fight.
Then she was completely stunned.
She found that she couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm at all, and she also made many mistakes in catching the ball, and her judgment was completely wrong.
Tang Yuanyuan is a strong girl. She was not frustrated, but suddenly realized: Oh, by the way, all I learned was doubles skills. Maybe I shouldn't play singles, but doubles. Since I can keep up with male players, shouldn't I kill casually when paired with female players?
I will definitely carry everyone.
She happily invited Chen Tong, who had a good relationship with her, to form a team and fight Wang Yu and Shen Sha.
Then she was beaten to death again.
"Your pace is too slow now."
"That's wrong of you. Are you playing like this without considering the connection to the next board?"
"You have to be careful when catching the ball. If you return it so high, the opponent will kill me directly."
"You can't serve Bullet Serve. It's not like you don't know how powerful that forehand is Shen Sha."
"Oh, why did you hit me?"
Chen Tong was murmuring to everyone in the audience, and their dislike for Tang Yuanyuan was palpable.
In the end, she couldn't help but sigh, "You have been taken care of so well by Wang Chao, but now it's too easy to fight."
Tang Yuanyuan blinked and curled his mouth.
"Hey, don't cry. It's okay. I'm the one who said it too harshly." Chen Tong was a little panicked. "Actually, you're still playing pretty well in mixed doubles now. This is the mixed doubles. It's different from other events..."
Tang Yuanyuan has already run away.
She ran to the men's team dormitory area in one breath and shouted loudly, "Wang Chao, come out here."
Wang Chao came out confused, and heard Tang Yuanyuan continue to shout, "You have to be responsible for me."
Wang Chao: "???"
The farce was quickly explained. Tang Yuanyuan was not fragile. Chen Tong thought she was going to cry, but in fact she was just unhappy and wanted to vent.
So Wang Chao accompanied her to climb a small mountain again. The two of them turned into two tigers, with their heads touching their heads and their arms touching their arms. They were fighting fiercely and howling at the top of their lungs, just like fighting. Until all their strength was exhausted, they sat down on the ground at the same time. You looked at me, I looked at you, and laughed.
He Jingping was far away at the foot of the mountain, listening to what was going on above. He was still thinking about telling Wang Chao about young players not being able to fall in love, but he didn't know, In Wang Chao's eyes, Tang Yuanyuan's temper, character, and bold style are no different from Han Feng Liu Yue Hou Xiaojian.
The Good Brothers lineup has added another general.
A few days later, Fan Xiaofan called and said in a very bleak tone, "Let me tell you something, the spring competition is over."
Spade Q's first Table Tennis Super League spring game was finally guessed by Ye Hongye. The final record was at the bottom, ranking 16th out of a total of 16 teams in Table Tennis Super League. The final record of the two rounds of the regular season was 4 wins and 26 losses, which was miserable.
The next spring playoffs naturally have nothing to do with Spade Q.
Time passed and training was still going on. At the end of June, on this day, Sun Tianlong suddenly came to Wang Chao: "German Open's Men's Singles competition in July, do you want to play?"
Wang Chao was surprised. "Old Cai wouldn't let it go, wouldn't it?"
