The second game started quickly.
This time it was Che Songxin's turn to serve, and Wang Chao received the ball.
For the Daehan Minguk combination, this game is the last chance. After all, this is the completely opposite order of receiving and serving from the first game. If there is no turning point in this game, then by the third game, the situation will be almost the same as the first game.
Che Songxin directly sent a short backspin.
Facing Tang Yuanyuan in the last game, she was very fancy, but in this game she just lay flat when facing Wang Chao, because she was sure that Wang Chao would not be deceived by any of her fake moves. In this case, she only needed to pursue quality in her serve.
She didn't dare to serve the long ball from the baseline, let alone Sneak Long Serve, because she was frightened by Wang Chao in the last game, and now she was quite afraid of Wang Chao's attack. She always felt that as long as the ball came out, Wang Chao would definitely attack.
Facing the short backspin from a top chipper with the most cautious attitude, Wang Chao really couldn't find a chance and could only swing short.
Then Xian Youwen felt very uncomfortable.
Because his in-table shots are really bad.
In other words, the racket Japanese penhold single-ply blade naturally does not handle small balls well in the table.
So when faced with a short ball coming from a player like Wang Chao who has great control in the table, Xian Youwen found that he could not find any chance to attack.
He could only continue to swing short.
However, his swing was really bad. The ball easily went high and was directly picked up by Tang Yuanyuan.
Che Songxin stepped back and chipped the ball back steadily.
Wang Chao was not in a hurry and chipped the ball steadily, another short backspin.
Xian Youwen is even more uncomfortable, because Japanese penhold single-ply blade's playing style is completely based on the center forehand position as the core, but Wang Chao not only has short backspin that is completely unable to get off the board, but also tmd targets his backhand position every time.
This kind of restricted ability was really disgusting. He felt like a hairy crab with his hands and feet tied up.
He could only keep running, then swung short again and accidentally went high again.
Tang Yuanyuan was beaten for the second time in the stage.
Che Songxin showed her strong resilience. She once again chipped away at this powerful challenge without revealing any obvious flaws.
Wang Chao was not in a hurry to play. He still stared at Xian Youwen's backhand position.
Xian Youwen was speechless. He couldn't find a chance to attack at all, so he could only throw a backhand to the baseline at a wide angle.
In fact, the baseline ball is not conducive to defense, because once the ball is out, the opponent can force the loop, but the problem is that Xian Youwen has been too high when he swung it short twice in a row. Up to now, the more rounds he plays, the weaker his control is. He is afraid that if he swings it short again, the ball will be too high.
But no matter what, if you leave the baseline, you will be given a chance, and the introduction of the ball means that you can make large movements and exert maximum force.
Tang Yuanyuan quickly moved laterally, landed early, and then tried his best to pull out a forehand and loop the ball forward.
The ball was not very fast, but it was very spinning and heavy. It kept going down in the air, and the arc was quite steep.
This is what Wang Chao told her before the game. When playing against players like Che Songxin, unless the speed is too fast for her to react, she must focus on rotation.
The reason is also very simple: the biggest gap between male and female players must be strength, not speed.
Although Tang Yuanyuan is a girl, her strength is comparable to that of male players. Of course, this rule also applies to her.
Che Songxin felt the power of the ball, and she was forced to retreat, but she still couldn't block the ball. Even though she had cut it hard, the ball still roared into the sky from her racket.
1:0, Tang Dynasty Combination scored one point first.
After getting the ball back, Che Songxin and Xian Youwen looked at each other. They should be encouraging each other, but they both saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Yes, the two of them knew very well that once they lost this ball, it meant that the situation was over.
Because among the eight different serving rounds in the mixed doubles match, only the round with the first two balls in the second game was the round that they considered to have the greatest advantage during the pre-match discussion.
But now in this round, they were scored first by Tang Dynasty Combination.
It was also in this ball that the natural disadvantages of their combination were finally exposed so clearly.
The combination of Japanese penhold single-ply blade+slicer is indeed not the answer to the version, but a complete version trap.
The reason why Che Songxin and Xian Youwen can be matched like this is because Che Songxin is very special.
In fact, in their group, the real core has never been Xian Youwen, but Che Songxin.
Player Japanese penhold single-ply blade is weak in the table ball. In all the games before today, the reason why Xian Youwen was able to frequently get offensive opportunities was, in the final analysis, the opportunities created for him by Che Songxin.
Che Songxin serves very well and is good at fake moves. This causes most people to show flaws when facing her serve.
Xian Youwen has a very strong offensive ability. Basically, as long as there is a flaw in the opponent's return, he can start directly and attack with a strong force, either to kill him with one stroke or to gain the initiative.
When playing Taiwan Island Combination, in the first game it was precisely because Zhen Jing was completely unsuited to Che Songxin's serve that Xian Youwen was able to thrive offensively.
In the second game against Taiwan Island Combination, it was because Che Songxin could perfectly handle Zhen Jing's serve, returning the ball low and turning, completely preventing Lin Zijun from attacking. opportunity, Taiwan Island Combination was never able to play a good offensive round. As for Xian Youwen, although the opportunity he got was far less than that in the first game, it was still much easier than Lin Zijun's life.
Therefore, Che Songxin is a universal glue. She can perfectly adapt to any style of male partner by freely switching between cutting and attacking.
And Japanese penhold single-ply blade of Xian Youwen is not only not the correct answer for mixed doubles, it is even not suitable for playing mixed doubles at all. The reason is also very simple: Japanese penhold single-ply blade's ball handling on the table is too poor.
In fact, whether Xian Youwen is receiving the ball from the opponent's male player or female player, his basic return is very rough. He either goes too high, or does not turn, or the landing point is not good. In a sense, what he left for Che Songxin has always been a mess.
It's just that Che Songxin is tough enough. Even though Xian Youwen always creates offensive opportunities for the opponent, she can still block most attacks, and through her powerful chipping ability, she can forcefully redirect the passive situation into a balanced situation between the two sides.
Precisely because of her strength, Japanese penhold single-ply blade's natural flaws were covered up, and when Che Songxin created opportunities for Xian Youwen, Japanese penhold single-ply blade's advantage of strong attack power was fully reflected.
This is the truth of the matter.
This is also the reason why countless coaches in the world table tennis world were misled two days ago.
So, how did Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan break the situation?
In fact, it is very simple: rely entirely on Wang Chao's personal ability and suppress Che Songxin's personal ability.
Because in essence, the division of labor between these two combinations is very similar. On Tang Dynasty Combination's side, there is the universal adhesive Wang Chao with a power tool man Tang Yuanyuan.
Daehan Minguk combination here is the universal adhesive Che Songxin with a power tool man Xian Youwen.
So this game is actually a battle between the leaders of both sides, that is, the universal adhesive.
Wang Chao wins completely.
When Che Songxin cannot create an offensive opportunity for Xian Youwen no matter how he serves.
When Che Songxin cannot perfectly resolve the opponent's attack.
When Che Songxin was completely defeated in the game of small balls in the table.
When Che Songxin's powerful serving ability was completely seen through.
In fact, the Daehan Minguk combination has already lost.
When Xian Youwen was responsible for catching the ball from Wang Chao, Wang Chao didn't even bother to attack because he knew that the offense would give Xian Youwen the opportunity to pull back. Only by controlling the ball throughout could Xian Youwen be completely restrained.
In short, no matter in any serving order, Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan stared at Che Songxin playing alone, just like they stared at Ichikawa Mima in the last round.
This is the ultimate secret of mixed doubles: only beat women, not men.
Kill the woman and win the game.
Twenty-four minutes later, the first game of the mixed doubles semi-finals of German Open came to an end. Tang Dynasty Combination once again scored a disparity, sealing the Daehan Minguk combination 4:0.
This is also the fourth 4:0 that Wang Chao has scored in the past two days.
Two men's singles and two mixed doubles.
His singles opponents Bai Feng and Lin Li are both ranked among the top ten in the world.
His mixed doubles opponents Sakura Country and Daehan Minguk are both favorites to win the championship in the world table tennis world.
These four games were all considered fierce battles before the game, but in the end, they all turned into crushing games.
In all the games, Wang Chao showed desperate suppression.
When the results of these games are put together, there is an amazing impact.
"How strong is Wang Chao?"
"He is only 18 years old and has already defeated almost all the top players in the world."
"He even won Sun Tianlong."
"The only Luo Jiu he has not defeated is his fellow senior. We have every reason to suspect that their seniors deliberately did not meet each other."
"Is he considered the youngest super-class player in the history of Chinese table tennis?"
"Will he become the youngest Grand Slam player in the history of Chinese table tennis?"
The world table tennis community is once again talking about Wang Chao.
In fact this is not the first time.
Last year, T2 Wang Chao won the championship and was hotly discussed.
At the beginning of this year, Hong Kong Open won the championship and was hotly discussed again.
Then Swedish Open won the championship and was hotly discussed again.
Basically, every championship is accompanied by heated discussions. The reason is that he is too young and has just debuted, and every time he wins, there are a lot of famous games.
Fans all over the world realized at this moment that Wang Chao seemed to be on the verge of a record again. He had already reached the mixed doubles finals and Men's Singles semi-finals of this Open. He is very likely to win the championship in both ways.
After the game, Wang Chao immediately withdrew.
For him who fights on two fronts, the schedule becomes more and more tense as he progresses to the later stages. For example, today, he has just finished the mixed doubles semi-finals, and then there is another mixed doubles semi-finals, Sakura Country's Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hannah, against the pair of the Beautiful Country. There is no suspense in this game, and it is estimated that it will not take more than half an hour.
Then there are the Men's Singles semi-finals. One game is Lin Zijun playing Hook, and the other game is Wang Chao playing Fan Xiaodong.
The organizer is still very user-friendly. Considering that Wang Chao participated in the mixed doubles at the same time, in the lineup of Men's Singles's semi-finals, Lin Zijun and Hook played first, and after the fight, it was Wang Chao's turn.
But no matter what, these four games will be played this morning, and the rest time Wang Chao can get is the length of the mixed doubles and Men's Singles games.
So even if he really wants to watch Lin Zijun fight Hook, he still has to restrain his curiosity, rest and relax first, recharge his batteries, and wait for the next fierce battle.
But before leaving, he casually glanced at the audience and saw a person sitting there who shouldn't be there right now.
Lin Zijun.
This is a very strange thing.
Lin Zijun will play Hook later. Considering that he has lost to Hook twice in a row from last year to this year, this game is definitely his most dangerous moment in this Open.
If you win, you advance to the finals; if you lose, you get the bronze medal.
Facing an opponent like Hook, everyone should take a good rest, recharge their batteries, and then enter the venue about fifteen minutes in advance to warm up and adjust themselves to the best active state where they are neither tired nor stiff.
Even if Sun Tianlong comes, we still have to do this.
But Lin Zijun actually sat calmly in the stands, obviously watching the game just now.
"He is watching my game? He is unhappy because he was eliminated early by the Daehan Minguk combination. Does he want to see how I beat them?"
"Or... he has strategically given up on Men's Singles and wants to stick to the mixed doubles path?"
Wang Chao noticed another detail at this time, Lin Zijun had his eyes closed.
He was a little curious, but now was not the time to be curious. He shook his head, forced the irrelevant thoughts out of his mind, and began to seriously think about how to fight Fan Xiaodong later.
(You definitely didn't expect that I would update at 8:30, right? Hehe)
