The players from both sides guessed the coin, Bai Feng got the right to serve, and the game officially started.
Bai Feng held the small ball, tilted his body slightly, and thought about what kind of ball he should serve in a very short period of time.
He was more cautious about this game than any other game this year, but unfortunately, he never thought about how to serve the first ball from the beginning to the end.
This is of course not a major oversight in his pre-game preparations, but because it is clearly written on the thirteen pieces of manuscript paper written by teacher Wang Lu: Never decide your serve before the game starts.
Why?
"Because when it comes to calculating people's hearts, even the two of us together can't count as Wang Chao." In front of the disciples who have high hopes for him, Wang Lu did not shy away from his shortcomings. "Since we can watch him over and over again Video, analyze his tactics, look for his flaws, guess his mentality before the battle, and then design the opening serve based on this information. Then of course he can also use this method to back-up us, guess our serving movements and subsequent technical and tactical ideas, and then use them accordingly."
"In fact, any pre-game analysis must be full of enough variable parameters. If we want to be exhaustive, we not only have to analyze his technical characteristics and performance, but also his recent physical condition, diet, sleep status, and even which time of the day he performs best, or where he is. What kind of ball are you most used to serving at that time, and what kind of ball are you most used to handling, as well as the temperature and air humidity of the day, and what impact these factors will have on the smoothness of the blade and the wetness of the racket rubber, which batting actions are more affected, which batting actions are less affected, etc..."
"Believe me, analyzing this matter before the game really requires talent. This cannot be learned."
"I can join the coaching staff, so I am naturally a master in this area. In the past seven years, I have coached you in hundreds of games. Before each game, I will analyze the opponent with you and formulate game strategies. Most of the game processes also prove that my analysis is very accurate."
"But this is the only time you fight Wang Chao. I decided to give up on this matter."
"Because this is a civil war in China."
"When each other's information is completely transparent and all technical and tactical indicators are put on the sandbox, the party with stronger calculations can almost gain an overwhelming advantage."
"So, instead of working hard to calculate, only to be completely guessed by the other party in the end, it's better to forget it."
In fact, Bai Feng agrees with the teacher's theory, because he can easily recall the secret internal competition that took place at Chinese Table Tennis training base in July last year.
At that time, Wang Chao had just defeated Zhu Ding and completed the most basic super evolution. He had not yet had time to improve his strength, optimize his feel, or adjust many of his habitual movements during the game. He was still a very immature and crude version, far from being a great success.
In fact, at that time, Wang Chao was not even qualified to fight Lin Zijun on T2, and had to work hard to find the slightest chance of victory from the cracks.
But Wang Chao like that had already defeated Bai Feng, not by relying on hard power, but by calculation from beginning to end.
In the whole game, he scored 11 points, and every point was calculated.
At that time, Bai Feng lost in a daze, and even after being taught a lesson by Wang Lu, he didn't take it seriously. He always felt that it was not so mysterious, and even felt that the teacher was making a fuss. Until the next year, he witnessed Wang Chao making rapid progress day by day, playing After countless incredible and wonderful games, and from these games, Wang Chao could faintly glimpse the deep calculations hidden in them. Only then did Bai Feng realize with some hindsight that this 18-year-old kid was really as terrifying as Wang Lu said.
But he still has a bit of luck. He always feels that even if I can't calculate Wang Chao, my hard power is always better than his, right?
I heard that he wants to compete for the Olympic Games Men's Singles quota?
Haha, as long as I adjust my mentality, no longer be anxious, no longer blindly proud, no longer stubborn, and follow the teacher's instructions to play, I should still be able to achieve the final victory in the Olympic quota selection, right?
Bai Feng is very stubborn at heart. After all, he is the youngest among the five main players of Huaping. He is also the founder and master of the epoch-making super technology Penhold Backhand Loop. He is too dazzling and too proud. He is not the kind of person who can be easily shaken.
Until March this year, Super League and Wang Chao defeated Sun Tianlong head-on. The game was like a hard slap, completely waking up Bai Feng.
After watching the game, he found that his back was covered in cold sweat and his jersey was soaked through. He finally realized with horror that he had been surpassed even in terms of physical strength.
It turns out that the third spot for Men's Singles in the Olympics will really be taken away.
It was also from that day on that the proud and unruly light disappeared from his eyes. He became restrained and began to practice crazily. Under the guidance of Wang Lu, he tried his best to overcome the shortcomings in his playing style and personality. He regarded Wang Chao as his imaginary enemy and saw Wang Chao playing ball almost every day when he closed his eyes.
He even ignored other people because he cared too much about Wang Chao. As a result, his record in the open competition since the beginning of this spring was not good. He lost once to Swedish teenager Morad and died miserably twice when he met Luo Jiu.
But even so, he did not change his attitude and still stared at Wang Chao silently.
Because there is no way he would give up competing for the Olympic Games Men's Singles.
He will be 25 years old after the start of spring. He is indeed younger than Luo Jiu Lin Li and others. It seems that there is a possibility of participating in the next Olympic Games in four years. But in fact, with the fierce competition within Huaping, no one knows when a super genius will emerge, such as Fan Xiaodong. Before his official debut in April, who would have thought that he would be so strong?
As for the development of table tennis technology, in fact, there is usually a major or minor breakthrough innovation every two or three years. This kind of innovation is very cruel to old players. Players who cannot quickly master new technologies and new playing methods will decline in the shortest time, their performance will deteriorate, and they will lose their original status in the team and world rankings.
In fact, even a peerless figure like Dragon Team has been affected by technological innovation. Dragon Team still uses the traditional routine of "steady backhand and attack with forehand" instead of the most advanced left-handed and left-handed attack with no blind spots + no retreat.
Dragon Team was defeated by Wang Chao on Super League precisely because Wang Chao successfully suppressed his backhand, and the latest generation of players will never be crushed to death by someone's backhand.
So you see, Bai Feng has actually been pushed to the edge of the cliff by Wang Chao.
There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing. Huaping is too strong and has too many talents. Everyone can share the cake in the open competition, but Olympic Games only happens once every four years. Men's Singles has only one gold medal and only three competition places. This is a true battle of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.
"But... if you don't tell me tactics, how should I fight Wang Chao?" Before leaving for Germany, Bai Feng asked his teacher Wang Lu in confusion, "I understand and accept everything you said, but it's all theory. If I want to win against him, I always need some specific guidance."
It was under such circumstances that the thirteen manuscript papers came into the hands of Bai Feng.
"Look carefully, speculate carefully, and think carefully. These are all the possible breakthrough points about Wang Chao that I can think of, find, and guess."
Wang Lu paused for a moment, put his hands on the disciple's shoulders, and pressed them hard, forcing Bai Feng to temporarily interrupt reading and raise his head.
"The most important thing is, you must remember." Wang Lu looked into his eyes and said word by word, "After reading this, go to sleep and forget all these things you have seen."
"Why?" Bai Feng asked in surprise.
"Because everything you see is actually calculation, and it is wrong to try to calculate with him." Wang Lu smiled, "You remember these first, so that your subconscious will understand how to deal with the ball in various situations when facing him, and then forget all these rules, so that you don't even know how to hit the next ball. In this way, he will naturally not count you."
Bai Feng was a little shocked.
To be honest, deep down in his heart, he always felt that his teacher was slightly inferior to He Jingping and Qin Huachang. But the teacher's final strategy today was astonishing, and he suddenly realized that even though his teacher was indeed inferior to those two in the category of "skills", he was not inferior at all in the field of "Tao".
No moves are better than any move, not everyone can find this angle to break the situation.
Wang Lu, this is a man of great wisdom.
"No, no, no, I can't predict this game." Sitting in his study, Qin Huachang showed a rare moment of humility. He glanced at the barrage and explained seriously, "Because, this is a civil war at the main force level..."
His pronunciation of Mandarin was not standard, and a bunch of correction experts suddenly flooded into the live broadcast room, and countless barrages floated across the screen.
"Trivia, Anchor Qin is from Guangdong Province, and ordinary hair is never accurate."
"Hahaha, it turns out he is from Lanhuang, no wonder."
"As we all know, the Lanhuang people learn pinyin with a few fewer letters than us. They don't have n, so there is no internal war, only lei war."
"Where does this little anchor come from? He doesn't even have a first-level national Mandarin certificate and dares to talk on the mic. If you are so brave, why don't you go to the international arena and give it a shout?"
"I'm sorry, brother upstairs, but this little anchor has actually shouted something in the international arena."
Naturally, everyone won't be angry if they make meme on Qin Huachang, but the problem is that the audience doesn't know that he is actually making meme as well.
"Who said my pronunciation is not standard? You are just ignorant." Qin Huachang hummed. "What I'm talking about is not a civil war, but a tiring battle."
The picture style suddenly changed on the screen, and countless question marks and exclamation points floated across it.
"Look, you are so ignorant." Qin Huachang explained with a smile, "Everyone knows that our Chinese table tennis team has a rule. Whenever there is a civil war in an international competition, there is no coach behind the two players. It all depends on the players themselves. Do you know why this is?"
He paused for a few seconds, watched the barrage for a while, and then continued, "It seems that my reminder was too obvious, yes, because guiding a Chinese table tennis civil war is really tiring for the head coach behind the players."
After saying this, everyone started giving gifts again, urging Qin Huachang to continue talking.
Even a professional like Hou Xijia couldn't help but play Rocket again. This was not to please the industry bosses, but because this was the first time for him, an antique-level professional player over forty years old, to hear this theory.
The unspoken rule of "civil war without guidance" has been used in Huaping for decades. Most people thought it was because they were afraid of hurting the harmony between teammates. Until today, Hou Xijia didn't know that there was another theory.
It can only be said that when a big shot like Qin Huachang starts broadcasting, there is indeed enough useful information, and you can really break the news if you are not careful.
"Actually, it's easy to understand. Think about it, if it's an external battle, we have no personal contact with the opponent and don't know much about it. When preparing for the battle, the only thing we can do is to watch the enemy's game videos several times and look for the opponent's technical characteristics and technical loopholes. That's it. Although the workload is not small, it can be completed in at least a day or two."
"But if it's a civil war, then everyone knows each other very well. Not to mention technical issues, they even know a little bit about life, study, and emotions. And the state of athletes during competition is actually different from any factors in daily life. They are all closely related. The more you know, the more factors you have to consider when analyzing. Don't think that if there are too many factors, they are for addition, but for multiplication. If you really want to analyze someone thoroughly, ten days and a half months may not be enough."
Qin Huachang suddenly became a little distracted when he said this, but he thought of the time when he was studying Wang Chao crazily for Fan Xiaodong. It was really hard to eat and sleep. Unfortunately, until he retired, Fan Xiaodong still failed to beat Wang Chao.
Thinking about how hard I had racked my brains and meditated at that time, and then thinking about how it was Wang Lu's turn to do this now, Qin Huachang felt a sense of schadenfreude, after all, I was really free now.
So he continued to add, "Oh, by the way, we also need to consider the personality of the coaching coach. For example, when I prepared for Sun Tianlong before the war, I was definitely going for the offense, but some coaches are very conservative and are used to defensive counterattacks. Their first choice is not It is to attack the opponent's weaknesses, but to find your own weaknesses first and then defend against them... It can be said that coaches have different personalities and different concepts of playing. Even under the same information conditions, the final tactical strategies are very different. This is really, really complicated."
He took another look at the barrage and couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah, so now it's Wang Lu vs. Old He. Oops, I didn't realize it if you didn't tell me. This game might be really interesting. As we all know, Old He is a staunch supporter of Taiwan's offensive concept, and Wang Lu, don't you? It seems that the Bai Feng he trained likes to play offense, but Lao Wang himself is actually more conservative in character, and is best at playing full control. In other words, if Bai Feng has a correct attitude in today's game, then he will most likely listen to his master, give up his own game style, and play defensive counterattack with Wang Chao."
"How to play specifically? I don't know that. If I were the coach of Bai Feng, I would have to analyze it at least a week in advance, and finally formulate tactics based on what I analyzed."
"Oops, there is still a problem. Old He is also doing tactical analysis, and his analytical ability is not weaker than mine. In the past, in addition to analyzing tactics, I could also rely on analyzing the players' personalities to suppress him, but now Old He has an extra helper, Wang Chao..."
He almost blurted out "Wang Chao", but he held it back at the critical moment because a person in charge of the Silver Ball Dance website called him half an hour ago and politely asked him not to say bad words during the live broadcast because it would have a bad impact...
This makes Qin Huachang quite uncomfortable. After all, in his mind, Wang Chao is definitely a tough guy and definitely qualified for the title of "This Bi". If it doesn't work, he can be called "Little Silver Coin", but now it is a public live broadcast for the entire network. In principle, both of these titles are illegal.
But if you ask him to call him "Wang Chao" directly, he always feels unhappy. After all, he has always been unfavorable in playing tricks in the Huaping coaching staff, but since Wang Chao appeared, he has been frustrated repeatedly. With the help of Wang Chao, Lao He, who has been the enemy of thousands of years, straightened up his back. This caused Qin Huachang to have a bad face every time he saw Wang Chao, and always wanted to take advantage of him verbally. Now you suddenly ask him to call Wang Chao by his full name seriously. He feels that it is too cautious and goes against his strong character as an old man.
He suddenly remembered that Brother Da Ma called Wang Chao Unrivaled Youth.
But the name Unrivaled Youth sounds so nice, right? No, no.
Then...Shaved Head Youth?
It still doesn't work. It sounds like a teenager but not a teenager. It sounds full of youthfulness and positive energy. Bah, bah, bah, it doesn't fit the character of this little silver coin at all.
Qin Huachang Thinking of this, I finally have the answer.
He continued what he just said, "Wang Chao This Nine-headed Bird has a way of calculating people's hearts. I dare not say that I can calculate it better than him. As for Lao Wang, hahaha, he is still too young. He will only be crushed and eat ashes. For... Hey, thinking about it, did I make the conclusion too early? I also said that this game will be very intense. Don't let Bai Feng be directly abused by Nine-headed Bird. That would be too embarrassing for me."
That's right, Qin Huachang has decided to refer to Wang Chao as "Nine-headed Bird" whenever he talks about it during his live broadcast.
After all, as the saying goes, Nine-headed Bird in the sky, Hubei on the ground.
It is rumored that Nine-headed Bird is very cunning, and Wang Chao... ahem, this person is the most cunning one among the northerners.
No rebuttal accepted.
Thanks to "Chewing Book" for the 10,000-coin reward.
Thanks to "Haiziyuan" for the 1500 coin reward.
Yo ho, I gained a lot today, haha.
