Another mixed doubles semi-final ended without any surprises within half an hour. The new combination of Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hannah entered the final.
Their semi-final opponents are a pair from the Beautiful Country. Although this pair is unknown in the world table tennis world, they are still quite famous in the Beautiful Country and even North America.
Among them, the male player is named Kazik, known as the first brother of the Beautiful Country. He is only 19 years old this year, but he has already achieved brilliant results in the local area. He has never lost in the Beautiful Country domestic competitions since he was 16 years old. He has won the men's singles championship in four national competitions so far.
The female player is an Asian girl named Lilith, Chinese name Zhang Ping. She is 24 years old this year. Like Kazik, she is also a real sister of the Beautiful Country. The most commendable thing is that although this girl Although she is only 24 years old, she has already participated in two Olympic Gamess, and if nothing else goes wrong, she will have to participate again this year, and at least Women's Singles and mixed doubles. If her physical strength can keep up, she may also add a Women's Doubles.
It can be seen that the development level of table tennis in the Beautiful Country is indeed not very good, and the most amazing thing is that the Beautiful Country actually developed table tennis very early, long before most European countries.
Don't believe it?
Exactly half a century ago, the Beautiful Country had a famous "Ping-Pong Diplomacy" with China. This incident used table tennis exchanges as a carrier and ultimately led to a complete ice-breaking of relations between the two countries. This is a major event recorded in history.
At this time, Qin Huachang was popularizing this allusion in the live broadcast room. Everyone was shocked when they heard it. Many people went to check it on the spot and found that it really happened, so the subsequent barrage basically became a unified shape.
"The Beautiful Country doesn't live up to expectations."
"What has developed in the past fifty years?"
"No wonder these two people have such terrible domestic records. The reason why they have been arguing for so long is not that they are very strong, but that the others are too weak."
"It's normal. Grandma Ni from Luxembourg is still the top female table tennis player in their country. It seems that no one can challenge her status before she retires."
"Hua Guo's table tennis is so strong. Whenever you go out, you will be like a brother and a sister."
"Hua Guo Ping Pong is too strong."
"China's table tennis is too strong +1."
"..."
Qin Huachang is also idle and bored, because this game is really not interesting. The so-called first brother and first sister of the Beautiful Country are actually not bad in personal strength, but their mixed doubles level...
What can I say? It can only be said that the sport of table tennis is still more about intelligence than physical strength, and there are really no high-level coaches in the Beautiful Country. Therefore, the cooperation between Kazik and Lilith only has the most basic tacit understanding, but there is no complicated tactical transformation and preparation. As for how to play mixed doubles?
Not everyone is qualified to think about this question. If you want to think about this question, you must at least be a qualified national-level head coach with professional and technical literacy. If you haven't even understood the basic theory of singles, then you should rest. This kind of question is not suitable for you.
Obviously, the Beautiful Country no one knows how to play mixed doubles yet.
Therefore, Kazik and Lilith are all about basic skills, and they rely on instinct to deal with accidents.
In this way, 4:0 is normal, and it is normal to score no more than 4 points in each game. It is not surprising that the total score in the four games is only 10 points. Some shady fans even think that the Sakura Country combination You should shave your opponent's head. If you don't, it's probably because Sakura Country is the Beautiful Country's younger brother and you have to give face to the boss. Even if the boss doesn't care, we, the younger brothers, have to be conscious of it.
Back to the scene, after the fight, Lilith and Kazik were not depressed, but very excited. As the high-fives were not enough, they simply gave a warm hug, and then both raised their hands and cheered.
The reason is also very simple: neither of them dreamed of reaching the semi-finals. A bronze medal is already a record for them. Is it possible that they still want more? How ignorant do we have to be to think of such a thing?
Thank you for the draw, thank God!
The audience was confused at first, thinking that the two men had mistaken the relationship between victory and defeat, but soon figured out the mystery and began to applaud and congratulate in cooperation.
Rohlskov clapped along, and was even a little envious, because the combination of Sissifield and Solga under him was obviously much better than the Beautiful Country. They really knew how to play mixed doubles, but the result was that they had not broken the medal drought so far in the competition.
After this game, the highlight came next: Lin Zijun vs Hook.
Qin Huachang finally became excited.
"This game is really good. Lin Zijun is a young man who plays with a lot of energy and wisdom. Although he seems to be shy and not that passionate on the court, he is still tough enough and his technical stability has always been very good. Players like this are rare. In time, he will become a great player."
Qin Huachang spoke highly of Lin Zijun, but at the end of the review, he still shook his head. "What a pity, why did he meet Hook again?"
After answering Cai Guodong's call, he didn't hide it so much anymore. Although he still kept a lot of the essence of the theory from Wang Chao's mixed doubles match just now, but other than that, he explained most of the things clearly.
So now the number of people in his live broadcast room has increased again, and has exceeded the previous peak.
In fact, at this time, Mr. Guo Yukun, one of the founders of the Silver Ball Dance website and the person in charge of the live broadcast section, was already panicking because Qin Huachang was absorbing too much traffic. They had detected that a large number of foreign IP addresses were frantically connecting to their own servers. This increase had begun to threaten the server's endurance limit.
This makes Guo Yukun feel a little aggrieved despite being happy, because this is a table tennis website, not basketball, football or e-sports with traffic passwords. The table tennis cake is so big. When setting up the server for the website, we have already considered all aspects of the problem. In order to save money, we did not leave too much margin. Logically speaking, there will never be any problems, but now... it seems that there is going to be a problem.
Why is this?
Are these foreigners crazy? Suddenly, he started to squeeze in with all his strength.
He didn't realize how much influence Wang Chao's game this morning had.
Many things require a critical value. Before that, the situation will only brew, and only after the brewing exceeds the critical value, will it explode violently.
Wang Chao's record since his debut is undoubtedly exaggerated. He has unknowingly set many personal records. In fact, there is a key point that many people are not aware of: Wang Chao's attention in the eyes of European fans exceeds that of fans in China.
The reason is also very simple. In the eyes of domestic fans, although Wang Chao is invincible, it is at best similar to other Great Demon King. After all, there are too many Great Demon King in China and everyone is used to it. Surprisingly, in fact, they are relatively indifferent to victory. Only those fans who pay close attention to the details of the game will know that every victory is hard-won. However, most Yun fans have always felt that: table tennis games must be won, winning is natural, and losing is inevitable.
But European fans are different. As challengers, they have always cherished the dream of slaying the gods for many years, and this emotion reached its climax around July last year, because at that time, the main team of China Table Tennis Team lost consecutively, and even Sun Tianlong fell off the chain.
Therefore, we can definitely believe that the year when Wang Chao debuted was the most energetic, confident, passionate and courageous year in the European table tennis world.
However, since July last year, Europeans' passion and confidence have begun to suffer serious blows again and again.
First, Sun Tianlong returned to form, which the Europeans said was understandable. After all, it was not a shame to lose to Sun Tianlong, and Sun Tianlong was obviously about to retire.
Then Luo Jiu completed the super evolution. Europeans still understand this. After all, counting the time, it is time for Huaping to release the next Great Demon King.
But immediately afterwards, Wang Chao played many famous games on T2 and officially entered the eyes of European fans.
Europeans cannot accept the rise of Wang Chao. They believe that in terms of time, the next Great Demon King from Huaping has not yet been born.
But the Europeans at that time were not too panicked, because they felt that Wang Chao was not necessarily Great Demon King, maybe it was just Fang Zhongyong from another world?
But Hong Kong Open in February this year completely shattered the luck of the Europeans.
In this Open, all Chinese veterans were disconnected. Wang Chao stepped in at the last minute and reached the quarterfinals alone. Under the crazy targets of the European Coaches Federation, he defeated three representative players from the three major table tennis powers in Europe. He just won the final championship like a chestnut from the fire.
After this game, Wang Chao's importance and attention-grabbing degree in the eyes of European fans has been on par with Sun Tianlong, and it has directly surpassed Luo Jiu, who won the heavyweight championship in last year's year-end finals.
Again: they can accept Luo Jiu becoming Great Demon King because Luo Jiu is 27 years old, but they cannot accept Wang Chao becoming Great Demon King because Wang Chao is only 18 years old.
You can bully me for another 4 years, but you can't bully me for 12 more years!
How many 12 years are there in life?
At that time, European fans were about to explode and were in urgent need of a channel to vent their emotions. If Qin Huachang had started a live broadcast at that time, they would probably be like now, eager to rush in and listen to Qin Huachang's lectures, just to improve themselves from a fundamental theoretical level and get rid of this sense of despair of being suppressed into darkness.
But something went wrong at that time. Mixed doubles entered the Olympics, which greatly diverted the attention of European fans and allowed the world table tennis world to find another track with a chance to overtake. Europeans began to feel that there was a crack in the originally gloomy sky that could be explored.
However, they never expected that the carnival for fans around the world would only last for a month.
In fact, it was Huaping who won the championship this month, but the strength shown by Scarlet Gossip Combination in the process of winning the championship was not overwhelming. As a result, players from all over the world thought they had a good chance, and developed the shameful idea of "a small loss is a win".
But in the second month, Wang Chao, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared and formed Tang Dynasty Combination. They used a mixed doubles style that was completely different from Scarlet Gossip Combination to defeat all opponents and win the championship.
At that moment, the world table tennis world was in despair.
The European table tennis team, which most wanted to challenge Huaping, was touched by Wang Chao, a sensitive person in its own right.
"Is there any way to survive in this world? We have just found the new path of mixed doubles. We are still repairing our cars. We haven't officially started on the road yet. Are you just waiting at the finish line?"
This kind of emotion lasted until German Open, and had reached its limit. Then the sensitive European fans were even more angry when they discovered that the stubborn Wang Chao was actually doing two things this time. After he ruined the mixed doubles, he actually didn't even let go of Men's Singles!
They held their breath and looked down, watching helplessly as Wang Chao beat up teammates Bai Feng and Lin Li, and beat up Ichikawa Mima and Niuwa Xiaoxi, they still feel they have a chance, because the Daehan Minguk combination in mixed doubles is the last life-saving straw, and the Hook in Men's Singles is another life-saving straw.
Then the Daehan Minguk combination was directly penetrated by Wang Chao like fragile porcelain. The little girl Che Songxin, who almost became the new female idol in the world table tennis world, was immediately beaten and she doubted her life. Her eyes were dull, her steps were sloppy when she left the game, and she looked like she was hopeless. She didn't know if she could continue to compete next month.
European fans finally collapsed at this moment.
They must find a way to improve themselves now, immediately, right now, or to defeat Huaping. They urgently need a higher level of guidance, they need to see the ball more clearly, and they need to have a deeper understanding of what the Huaping players think and do when they play, and what are the fundamental differences between them and players from other countries.
Rohlskov cannot answer this question.
The only one who can answer is Qin Huachang, the former number one coach of China Table Tennis Team.
It just so happens that Qin Huachang is broadcasting live.
So even if there is a knife coming from the sky, I will still go to the lecture!
In this regard, what does Rohlskov, who has always claimed to be the number one coach in Chinese table tennis, think of it?
"We are all world-famous coaches, who is worse than whom?"
"Even if I, Rohlskov, am suffocated to death, even if I can never bring out a good player in the future, even if I can't figure out how to play mixed doubles for the rest of my life, I will not go to his live broadcast room to take a look!"
After losing his temper, Rohlskov calmed down a little, straightened out his slightly wrinkled tie and suit, turned to his assistant and whispered to his assistant, "Go to the forum and keep an eye on it. If there is a live video with subtitles translated, it will be sent to my phone as soon as possible."
Thanks to "Zhou Yixian" for the 100-coin reward.
