No one knows what happened to Lin Zijun.
In fact, an hour ago, even Lin Zijun himself had no idea that earth-shaking changes would happen to him.
At that time, he really planned to lie down because he was not as resilient and strong as the outside world commented.
His nature is weak, his character is simple and pure, and he is willing to abide by discipline, which makes him always appear to be very resilient in the game and never give up.
But in fact, it was just because he felt that he would either not fight or just admit defeat. If he went on the court, it meant that he wanted to fight, so he should fight to the end. Besides, coach Jiang Peirong has been silently supporting me behind the scenes. Even for his expectations, I should not give up.
So do you understand?
Lin Zijun's tenacity is actually just because he abides by discipline and obeys the rules in many cases. He is willing to do one thing to the end according to the original plan. When he accepts the expectations of others, he will also stick to these expectations to the end.
But he himself is actually not that strong.
In recent months, he has suffered too many blows.
He lost consecutively in singles, so he turned to study mixed doubles halfway. From this point alone, it can be seen that he is not stubborn enough to stick to one path to the end, nor does he have a natural strong mentality.
However, he did not expect that he would suffer a heavier blow in mixed doubles than in singles.
In singles, he just failed to take a step forward, but in mixed doubles, he didn't even climb up the pole, let alone take a step forward.
After losing to the Daehan Minguk combination, he was actually very confused.
He didn't understand that his playing style was so rigorous and perfectly followed the royal standard of mixed doubles, but why he couldn't beat anyone no matter who he beat?
On the contrary, Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan seemed to be playing randomly, giving people a sense of nonsense many times, but in the end, he won one victory after another.
Lin Zijun has been very confused in the past two days. This confusion reached its extreme after he won 8-4 in singles against Weng Chunting.
Because he found that there was no problem with his personal ability, and was even stronger than he imagined. So, why am I so strong in doubles but such a mess?
He was confident that he could beat the shit out of Xian Youwen in singles, but in mixed doubles, Xian Youwen beat the shit out of him.
He didn't understand, so he tried his best to think, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out. He and Zhen Jing reviewed all the games together, whether they lost or won, trying to find out the problem with their pair. However, at the end of the review, not only could they not find the reason for the loss, they couldn't even find the reason for the win.
He could only turn to Jiang Peirong, but after thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Peirong gave him the answer: You probably encountered a bottleneck.
It cannot be said that Jiang Peirong is completely fart, because for new players, there is indeed a short bottleneck period. This period is somewhat similar to the "rookie wall" in basketball.
When you are a newcomer, you are fearless and rush forward, and you may be able to achieve good results. But when you see more and understand more, you start to analyze and think, but you will continue to lose.
This is not because you have become weaker, but because you used to win by "beating Old Master to death with random punches", and now you are working hard to become Old Master.
At the same time, others didn't know much about you at that time, but now others have begun to study you.
Jiang Peirong comforted him and said, "Don't worry, this period will pass soon."
Lin Zijun always felt that what Jiang Peirong said was wrong, but he couldn't find any other reason.
So Lin Zijun gave up later.
He felt that he should probably calm down and practice in seclusion. Maybe after this German Open was over, he could contact his good friend Wang Chao and ask Wang Chao to give him some guidance.
As for now, everyone is busy, Wang Chao still has to fight on two fronts, so he should choose to lie down first.
When he thought about playing Hook, he felt desperate. Since he was losing anyway, he simply didn't bother to rest. He insisted on coming to the scene early in the morning to see how Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan beat Kimchi Combination.
This can be regarded as a bit of his obsession. After all, his confusion was originally caused by the Daehan Minguk combination, so he wanted to see with his own eyes whether this combination can continue to go forward today.
He watched Wang Chao's mixed doubles semi-final match in its entirety. The more he watched, the more he felt aggrieved and unconvinced, because Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan fought completely randomly and all the content of the game was not in line with his understanding of the mixed doubles. On the contrary, Che Songxin and Xian Youwen played very disciplinedly.
But in the end Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan won.
Lin Zijun At the moment the game ended, his mind was completely confused. All the thoughts came to him. He felt sweating all over his body and his hands and feet were cold. Those thoughts couldn't be stopped at all. They were pouring in like sea water. He even doubted He was going to die. The various pessimistic and desperate emotions in the past two days, mixed with a large number of unconcluded questions, all mixed together, making him have to close his eyes, grit his teeth, straighten his body, and hold on tightly, trying to calm himself down.
His state at this time was a bit like a computer that suddenly started all the programs downloaded from the hard disk. The large amount of information accumulation and information processing caused the processor to shut down, but it was still running extremely hard, trying to process all the information and eliminate its own overloaded state.
The reason why it becomes like this is actually related to his character.
He is very sensible and very introverted. He hides many of his emotions and refuses to reveal them, and he also holds back many of his thoughts. Therefore, when an inducement appears, all these suppressed things are triggered.
Wang Chao saw him closing his eyes before leaving the field after the game, but he only thought he was closing his eyes to rest. He didn't realize that Lin Zijun was probably at the most important moment in his career at that time.
If I had to use a more popular term to explain this moment, it would probably be called "enlightenment."
It took Lin Zijun a full five minutes to complete this process. During this period, he heard Zhen Jing on the left and Jiang Peirong on the right calling his name. They seemed to be a little panicked. Zhen Jing also tried to shake him awake, while Jiang Peirong told Zhen Jing to stop messing around and wait and see what happens.
Then he opened his eyes and felt that his mind was clear, and all the doubts were swept away in an instant.
Regarding mixed doubles and singles, he suddenly figured it out.
It seems that I encountered different difficulties in these two projects, but in fact they are essentially the same problem.
I am too obedient.
Yes, it's because I am too obedient.
He has been practicing football since he was a child, and he has been strict and strict. All postures must be standard, every strategy must be logical, and there must be a clear reason for the victory or defeat of each game. Later, when he plays mixed doubles, the handling of every ball must be reasonable, and all his responses to Zhen Jing must comply with the standard answer of upward compatibility in mixed doubles.
So Zhen Jing never attacks, and Lin Zijun rarely defends.
He heard that mixed doubles requires male players to have a strong forehand, so he started working hard to improve his strength.
He is obviously very strong with his backhand, but he insists on using his forehand in mixed doubles because everyone says that according to human body mechanics, the forehand must be stronger than the backhand.
He felt that Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan was playing randomly because Tang Yuanyuan didn't control the ball well when receiving the ball. Instead, he stepped back and looped the ball high, clearly giving the opponent a chance to attack.
Wang Chao is even more extreme. Some balls are obviously good for attack but have to be rubbed over. Some balls are obviously good for attack but have to be stepped back and cut sideways.
The more high-end a game is, the more it needs to be simple and unpretentious, with no workmanship and no bells and whistles, because bells and whistles mean imprecision, and inaccuracy means you will definitely be punished. This is the theory that Lin Zijun believes is correct.
But Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan happens to have different bells and whistles in every game. They play around and win while playing.
Later, Lin Zijun saw the explanation video of Qin Huachang on the first day. He understood the high-end theories behind Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan's play that he had not yet understood. This video was very crucial. It was the propellant that Lin Zijun could finally figure out today. It provided the necessary theoretical fuel for Lin Zijun's breakthrough.
Now Lin Zijun completely understands.
It turned out that he was not playing freely.
Not unrestrained enough, not arbitrary enough, and lacking in unbridled imagination and eclectic handling ability when encountering accidents on the court.
It turns out that I have been locked in a cage to play basketball. No matter how precise, gorgeous and disciplined my playing is, I am always struggling with only a small area.
What he really needs is an exception.
Take off the cage and fly into the sky.
With this understanding, he looked back at the many games he had played in the past and suddenly understood the real reasons why he won or lost.
Why does he keep losing to Hook?
It's not because Hook's talent can really crush him unreasonably, but because he hasn't really fully unleashed his strengths.
He beat Hook in the usual way and locked himself in a cage, but he didn't know that Hook was a tiger that had escaped from the cage from the beginning.
Ye Luzi is the label on Hook, which restricts his stability, but also makes him unbridled.
There are things in Hook that he lacks most, and similarly, Hook also has things that he lacks in most.
Lin Zijun is very lucky, because Hook has not yet realized it, but he has realized it ahead of time.
When he stood up from the chair in the stands, he was sweating profusely, and even felt a sense of exhaustion, with a touch of fatigue lingering all over his body.
But his spirit was satisfied. He smiled and said to Jiang Peirong and Zhen Jing, "I'm fine."
Jiang Peirong thought he was overwhelmed by the pressure and suggested that he abstain from the game and go back to rest, but Lin Zijun just wanted to have a quick game.
He finally knew how to play Hook.
Not using the method taught to him by Wang Chao and He Jingping.
Nor is it the method that Fan Xiaodong has personally demonstrated.
Not to mention the methods of Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu.
Because those are other people's methods.
And he, Lin Zijun, owns Extreme Speed Talent, has the best backhand in-table fast twisting ability in the world, has excellent hand feel and rigorous game mentality. He is unique and not anyone else, so his method of playing Hook must be different from anyone else.
This is the most precious thing he just got.
He named it "Heart of Freedom".
At this time, he didn't know that Wang Chao actually had something similar, called "King's Heart".
Different attitudes represent their different future development directions and different pursuit goals.
"Do I want to win Hook?"
"Yes I want to win."
"But what I really want most is to create something unique to me Lin Zijun."
"It's just that in this process, if Hook can't stop it, then I'm sorry, I will enter the finals by the way."
