Guo Yukun's panic was unknown to Qin Huachang, who was interacting enthusiastically with the audience. "Yes, Lin Zijun has to lose today. What I'm saying is not that he can't do it, but that Hook is really strong now."
"Okay, I think many people don't understand the current situation of Hook, so I will tell you."
"You have all heard about Hook coming to Table Tennis Super League, right? But you only regard it as news, but I can see the meaning behind it. This is the gap between you and me."
"Although Hook became famous when he was in Brazil, his real career strictly speaking started in the club league within Germany, so he actually has a deep affection for the German table tennis world. Later, he got better and better as he played. The head coach of Germany's team, Rohlskov, took a fancy to him and began to actively contact him and teach him how to play."
"From the beginning to the end, Rohlskov didn't treat him as a foreign player, but treated him completely as a local German player. It can even be said that in the past six months, he has been teaching him step by step. Rohlskov treats him the same way our Huaping coach treats his direct disciples."
"As for why, it's because Rohlskov wants Hook to take over and rebuild the glory of German table tennis. So if nothing else happens, Rohlskov should discuss with Hook in about half a year or a year to let Hook directly change to Germany."
"Of course, in fact, Rohlskov's idea will definitely come to nothing, because if he really teaches Hook how to play, and plays for another year and a half, Hook will be ruined by his teachings. I won't go into details about this, because someone has already explained it before."
"But now something unexpected happened. Hook took the initiative to seek change and wanted to come to Table Tennis Super League to play, and his attitude was very determined. Even if Rohlskov tried to persuade him many times, it was to no avail. He has now completed all the procedures and will probably come over later this month."
"We will not discuss the impact of Hook's departure on the German table tennis world for the time being. Let's just say that Hook made this decision. What does he represent?"
"Representative Hook is actually more determined to improve his table tennis skills than we imagined. It is actually very difficult for him to leave Germany, especially rejecting Rohlskov. This is something that even a weak-minded person cannot do. After all, Rohlskov is really good to him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is like a master or a father."
"From the most realistic perspective, although our country is the overlord of table tennis, the money we can earn from playing Table Tennis Super League is actually far less than playing club leagues in Germany. Hook's move will definitely offend most of the people. In the German table tennis world, all the contacts he accumulated in Germany in the first half of his career have been cut off. From now on, he will either stay in China and play Table Tennis Super League, or he will have no choice but to return to his hometown in Brazil."
"So, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has bet his entire career. After all, athletes in Europe have a long career life. In Germany, he can play until he is over 40 years old, and then he can become a coach. But in China, playing Table Tennis Super League may end when he is 30 years old, because there are too many up-and-comers. When he can't beat anyone, he will naturally be eliminated."
"Even if he wants to become a coach, according to the particularity of our Huaping, he will never be able to enter the establishment of the municipal team, provincial team or national team. At most, he can only be a coach of the Table Tennis Super League team. The greater possibility is to be a high-end personal coach."
"At this point, you should understand his determination. Because of this determination, I conclude that he has not been idle in the past few months since he has been absent from the World Series, let alone regressed, but will become stronger than before."
Qin Huachang stopped here because there was no need to go on.
The last time Hook appeared in the World Series was in the semi-finals of Swedish Open in April, where he lost to Fan Xiaodong.
But in fact, he really didn't play badly in that game, it's just that Fan Xiaodong played better.
The most important thing is that he defeated Lin Zijun in that game, which means that even if he was misled by Rohlskov and suffered a slight collapse, he was still better than Lin Zijun.
Before April, he had actually met Lin Zijun several times in major tournaments. Except for last year's year-end finals, when he lost a few games blindly, he had won every other encounter.
This means that whether it is the Hook who lost his way crazily in the past or the current Hook whose "upper limit becomes lower and the lower limit becomes higher", he can beat Lin Zijun.
"Everyone, please pay attention. The reason why I judge that Hook can win is not only because of my guess about Hook's current strength, but also because of my observation of Lin Zijun. Lin Zijun's performance in this Open is very poor, mainly because his mixed doubles performance is too poor, which definitely affects his mentality."
Qin Huachang added, "You know, he has changed his strategy since Malaysia Open in June and focused on mixed doubles. However, after three months of hard work, his performance got worse and worse. This time he was directly beaten by a new combination that suddenly appeared. I dare say that he must be confused now because he no longer knows whether he should focus on Men's Singles or mixed doubles in the future."
"Under such circumstances, facing an opponent that he has been unable to defeat before, it would be excusable for him to just lie flat."
Qin Huachang did not realize the terrifying influence of what he said now. His analysis spread all over the world through his live broadcast room in the shortest possible time, causing major changes in table tennis handicap in various countries. Originally, Hook The winning rate of E was only slightly higher, and the odds were around 1.5, but now they have quickly shrunk to 1.01. On the contrary, the odds of Lin Zijun have skyrocketed as if they were inflated, actually rising to 1:5.
Gambling is allowed abroad, and many fans happily invested heavily in Hook, just waiting to make a profit.
Although the odds are low, you can't guarantee that you will make a profit without losing money. This is the conclusion given by Qin Huachang himself. Could it be possible to make a mistake?
The game has started, the referee comes in, players from both sides guess the coins, and finally Lin Zijun gets the right to serve.
At this moment, even the official on-site commentator of the host country Germany was making jokes. "Okay, we see that the player Lin Zijun got the right to serve. What does this mean?"
"Yes, you guessed it, you are already laughing. As we all know, according to Asian Evil Arts's Wang Chao Coin Toss Law, when you are weaker than your opponent, God will be on your side when guessing coins and give you a little compensation and comfort. It can be seen that Mr. Qin of Hua Ping's judgment should be right. The Hook player has a greater chance of winning in this game."
What is international influence?
This is called international influence.
Mr. Huaping Qin did not realize that the words he said a few minutes ago were quoted in real time by other official commentators a few minutes later.
When Hook performed his signature toad squat, the referee blew the whistle and Lin Zijun served.
Qin Huachang spoke before Lin Zijun served and gave a spoiler-style explanation, "Lin Zijun's short backspin to Hook's backhand position, Hook's short swing, Lin Zijun's direct backhand twist..."
He is still very interested in this game because it is a rare high-level matchup between non-Chinese associations. This kind of matchup is not only beautiful to watch, but you don't need to be worried when watching it. It doesn't matter who wins. Therefore, his son Qin Zhenyu allowed him to live broadcast the game.
As for the next match, when Wang Chao fights Fan Xiaodong, he will temporarily stop broadcasting because Qin Zhenyu will never let him watch the live broadcast for fear that he will have a heart attack and cause more complications or even cancer. This is no joke.
His prediction certainly had strict logic.
In Qin Huachang's view, Lin Zijun's correct consideration of serving should be as follows:
"Hook's attacking ability is so strong. Theoretically, he can hit any ball except backspin."
"Sneak Long Serve will definitely not work, because Hook has Extreme Speed Talent. Even if you really cheat him, his delayed reaction will still be able to keep up with your ball speed. At the same time, Sneak Long Serve must be topspin, so he can completely step back from the stage and directly attack from the board. With the quality of his attack, it is difficult for me to catch it."
"Then the only options are short backspin and long backspin."
"The long backspin tests his ability to draw the ball. In essence, it still gives him the opportunity to take the initiative to attack. Of course, considering that I haven't played against him for a few months, it is okay to use long backspin to test his feel and success rate of pulling the ball, but it cannot be the first ball in the game."
"So the best serve can only be short backspin. As long as I'm short enough, spin enough, and low enough, he won't be able to hit the board. If it's a short fight inside the table, even though he has Microscopic Precision, he may not be able to beat me because of his rough technique. And if he takes the initiative to change his moves, no matter which baseline he throws, it will be a good opportunity for me to attack. After all, I also have Extreme Speed Talent, and I'm not afraid of his wide-angle maneuvers."
Based on this consideration, Qin Huachang predicts that Lin Zijun will serve short backspin. As for why it is sent to the forehand position, it is because Swedish Open in April Men's Singles After the semi-finals, He Jingping once analyzed the technical problems of Hook in front of the whole world, and slapped Rohlskov in the face on the spot. Lin Zijun must have heard those words.
After hearing these words, combined with the fact that Hook is going to China to fight Table Tennis Super League, Lin Zijun should be able to judge that Hook is working hard to wash away the wrong influence Rohlskov had on him.
In other words, the current Hook's stability should be worse than in April, while the quality of his batting will be higher. He will strive to return to the original state of playing by instinct and intuition.
This is a very reasonable guess.
Under such a premise, Hook will no longer play according to Rohlskov's teachings. When he receives short balls on the table, he will rely more on instinct. Athletes have a very convenient instinct: if you hit the ball to my forehand position, I will return it to your forehand position; if you hit my backhand position, I will return it to your backhand position.
We won't discuss line changing here, because line changing itself is against the norm. Precisely because it goes against the norm, this technology will become a big killer in creating variables during the game.
Lin Zijun's specialty lies in his backhand, so he deliberately served the ball to Hook's backhand position to lure Hook to return the ball to his backhand position. Then he could activate his signature backhand twist depending on the situation and seize the initiative.
OK, the analysis is completed.
Qin Huachang All of his analyzes were sound and well-founded, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words because he guessed wrong.
Lin Zijun did not send short backspin, but directly Sneak Long Serve at the beginning, and the forehand position of Hook was stolen.
Qin Huachang almost choked on his saliva. When he shut up, he gasped and leaned back subconsciously.
It's not that he overreacted, but that Lin Zijun's start was too unreasonable. It was like pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth and playing with fire on a tanker truck.
If you steal the backhand position, it can be said that "the greater the risk, the greater the reward." But if you steal the forehand position, do you really think that Hook can't kill anyone?
Qin Huachang wanted to scold him directly at that time, "Is this damn thing really just going to be smashed and laid flat?"
Fortunately, he didn't curse, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face.
Because in the next few seconds, Lin Zijun hit the most beautiful shot of his career so far.
This Sneak Long Serve was sent over, and Hook reacted immediately as a matter of course, stepped back from the stage, turned sideways, and charged hard with his forehand.
It's the same blast, with Monstrous Strength Talent and without Monstrous Strength Talent, it's definitely a completely different effect.
Hook is more powerful than Lin Li, and because he is a wild boy, his explosive movement is actually not standard. On the contrary, it is a bit weird, but it looks hearty and fully conforms to human body mechanics. In this case, the weirder the movement, the more difficult it is to accurately judge the final ball.
In fact, as soon as the ball came out, not to mention the fans, even He Jingping, who was sitting on the hotel sofa wearing headphones and watching the live broadcast, felt that the ball was there.
But Lin Zijun was as fast as a ghost. He successfully landed the ball the moment before it flew over. He held the racket upright in front of him and resisted the ball.
His racket was pressed downwards, and the angle with the table was exaggerated to only about 30 degrees. Under this situation, even if the ball Hook exploded to the extreme, the strong rotation was still suppressed by the racket. Like a trapped dragon, it was still unable to get out of the trap. He could only turn his head and rush to the opposite table with joy.
This is a very extreme push back shot. In fact, Fan Xiaodong also used it against Hook in April. However, Fan Xiaodong failed to completely defend Hook that time. In the end, he was forced to switch from defense to offense, and he came back to win.
The gear of Lin Zijun is at least a whole grade higher than the Fan Xiaodong of that day. The reason is that the explosive charge of Hook is almost full force, and the position of Lin Zijun when receiving the ball is also closer to the table, almost close to the table.
He blocked the crazy spin of a ball that exploded so quickly when it was at its peak.
Of course, this is not over yet.
Although the return ball is fast enough, it does not turn enough. For Hook who owns Extreme Speed Talent, it is just a matter of catching another ball.
Hook hit the board again, and the forehand position exploded for the second time.
This board is not as fierce as the first board. The reason is that the ball is not introduced enough and is not as smooth as the first Sneak Long Serve. Hook was forced to take half a step forward before he could reach the ball in the table.
Lin Zijun moved laterally again, and the speed was still amazing. Even though he was facing a forehand shot on the table, he still didn't retreat. He still held on tightly. He completed all the neurological reactions in such a short depth. The racket was pressed down, and the inclination angle with the table was more than 30 degrees, but never more than 45 degrees.
He pushed the ball back again, and it was still a super-fast return shot. However, because the ball was not as heavy as before, the ball landed closer to the net than the last time.
Hook had to go a little further and attack with a forehand again.
The ball got shorter and shorter as it was played. At this point, Hook's attack could no longer be called a forehand charge, but could only be called Forehand Flick.
Lin Zijun took a step laterally and pushed the racket forward hard at the same time.
This push makes the distance the ball flies within the table shorter, making it more difficult to catch the ball, and the requirements for reaction speed and judgment speed are also higher. Even if you have Extreme Speed Talent, such reaction power makes people feel numb. For example, Gao Mingyuan, who has been eliminated at this moment and is sitting in the stands watching the game, subconsciously grins, feeling amazed.
He also has Extreme Speed Talent, but if he asks himself, he should not be able to react in this extreme state.
But Lin Zijun's push was perfect. He pushed back the challenge again, and even made a magical line change. The ball was pushed directly to Hook's backhand at a close angle.
This time, even Hook didn't have time to react, and the ball flew directly out of the side of the table.
The spectators in the stands were very quiet at this moment because they had not yet reacted. It was not until the ball hit the ground and rolled to the left side of the barrier that it stopped. The spectators finally understood what had happened and began to let out exclamations one after another.
This ball is really too fast.
If it is a pair of pulls, it is impossible for the ball speed to reach this point, because everyone will consciously step sideways to increase the depth, and will hit the ball when the ball is falling.
But because it was purely pushing and blocking, purely using force, the ball was hit while it was rising, and it was a continuous on-stage attack and on-stage defense, so the speed of the ball was stretched to the limit. Although the whole process sounds complicated, in fact it is difficult for the naked eyes of the audience to completely follow the trajectory of the ball. The sound heard by the audience sitting in the front row is actually like setting off firecrackers, it is a continuous impact sound, not an intermittent impact sound.
Three consecutive attacks and three counterattacks were like a firecracker with only six blasts, exploding without warning.
It's just that fast.
When the referee turned over the score board and announced that Lin Zijun scored 1:0, Qin Huachang's eyes widened, and the audience in his live broadcast room had a collective climax, and then dense barrage poured out like an explosion.
"What happened to Lin Zijun?"
"Did he take his medicine?"
"Did you see clearly just now?"
"Oh my god, I want to pee."
"Didn't you notice that anchor Qin made a mistake in his spoiler-style commentary for the first time?"
"The anchor quickly analyzed and analyzed. I can't wait any longer."
It was only at this moment that Qin Huachang woke up from some shocking emotions. He frowned slightly, leaned forward, and stared at the screen. There was a bit of confusion and surprise in his tone, and he murmured softly, "Super evolution?"
