At this time, no matter on the field or in front of the screen, the vast majority of the audience thought it was Tang Yuanyuan's performance error, and they were not surprised. After all, it is normal for young players to perform unstable, but Wang Chao's stability is abnormal.
Only Wang Chao realized that Tang Yuanyuan's status was abnormal.
However, Tang Yuanyuan refused to say anything. He just took the ball he had just received and stubbornly asked Wang Chao with the agreed hand gestures what ball he should serve.
The answer for Wang Chao is "Sneak Long Serve".
Because it was Zhang Benkuang who caught the ball from Tang Yuanyuan. Zhang Benkuang's in-table ball was quite good, and his ability to change lines and maneuvers was even world-class. Tang Yuanyuan serves a short ball, no matter what spin or pattern, Zhang Benkuang will most likely be able to hit it directly and move the ball to the most difficult position for Wang Chao to attack.
As for Sneak Long Serve, Zhang Benkuang has much fewer choices. Even if he wants to continue to play control, it is difficult to control the ball as accurately as he can with the short ball in the table. It would be better if he takes the initiative to attack. Wang Chao can directly pull back with his strength advantage.
Tang Yuanyuan served and stole Zhang Benkuang's backhand baseline, and the ball was served without any problems.
As expected, Zhang Benkuang refused to force the attack and chose to rub the ball back steadily. However, he did not have Microscopic Precision after all. Facing Tang Yuanyuan, a long ball with extremely strong topspin, he could not create a short backspin. He could only try to rub the ball to the bottom line of the table in front of Wang Chao.
Strictly speaking, this is a chasing ball, but because it is backspin, it is not very fast. Wang Chao can completely attack sideways.
In fact, Wang Chao plans exactly this way.
As he turned sideways, he heard Zhang Benkuang roar.
Zhang Benkuang is in the stage of changing his voice. His voice is like a broken gong, but the volume is astonishing. When this roar falls into his ears, it can make people physically uncomfortable. Tang Yuanyuan, who has already retreated behind Wang Chao, feels his scalp numb, as if there is an electric shock, and even his steps are half a beat.
Wang Chao was not affected, he turned sideways smoothly and with a calm expression, and swung the board out hard.
Because Zhang Benkuang's ball was low enough and turned well, although Wang Chao's stroke was very powerful, it did not directly kill Hayata Hannah, who was over 1.7 meters tall. The female player Sakura Country showed her masculine toughness at this moment. She quickly turned sideways, and without any fear, she pushed Wang Chao's attack back on the table and successfully pulled the ball back.
As soon as the ball flew out, she let out a powerful roar.
This roar gave Tang Yuanyuan another pause. What she had been thinking about was suddenly short-circuited by the roar. When she reacted again, the ball had already flown out from the side of her racket.
3:2, without anyone expecting it, the Sakura Country combination actually completed the overtake.
At this moment, the audience was in an uproar, and some people were even whistling.
Tang Yuanyuan was so angry that she originally had a small round face, but now her cheeks were bulging like a little frog. Her eyes were glaring at Hayata Hannah across from her fiercely, and she wanted to slander someone, but she didn't dare to mess around.
Wang Chao finally understood.
After understanding it, I couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded.
In fact, Zhang Benkuang's shout has always been very famous, and has even won the name of "prestige" in the world table tennis circles, and is recognized as a talent that can truly disrupt the opponent's mind.
What Wang Chao didn't expect was that Hayata Hannah also learned this trick after partnering with Zhang Benkuang.
It's hard to tell whether this girl was born with a hidden talent of "prestige", or whether she was really gifted and had learned Zhang Benkuang's talent skills by force. In short, Hayata Hannah's shout also has a strong interference ability. In a sense, it is even more powerful than Zhang Benkuang.
After all, women's voices are sharper and the decibels are naturally higher. If I must make a metaphor, Zhang Benkuang's voice is like a broken gong, which makes people feel uncomfortable and stuck in the throat, while Hayata Hannah's voice is like an iron nail scraping against the glass. It is a truly crazy feeling.
Wang Chao had experienced hundreds of battles in his previous life, and his body was naturally extremely resistant, so he had always been indifferent to Zhang Benkuang's roar. Because of this, he was completely unaware that Tang Yuanyuan had been attacked.
By the time he reacted, Tang Yuanyuan had already scored three goals in a row.
This is a bit exaggerated...
In fact, in the past Men's Singles's opponents, Zhang Benkuang's opponents were only disturbed to a certain extent by his roar. At best, it affected their mentality. As for being affected to the point where they could not play at all, that was not the case.
It can only be said that the resistance of Tang Yuanyuan is too low, which can be regarded as a small accident.
Wang Chao stopped Tang Yuanyuan from continuing to serve and called a timeout without hesitation.
The two of them returned to the baffle. Tang Yuanyuan opened his eyes wide and glared angrily at Hayata Hannah from a distance. This look was very similar to the bear form in her ancestral skills.
Wang Chao was speechless. He knocked on her head to signal her to come to her senses and listen to him.
Tang Yuanyuan finally came to his senses, but glared at Wang Chao in a vented manner, still angry. "Don't hit me on the head."
In fact, it was normal for the two of them to fight and fuss with each other when they practiced together in the morning, but now that there were elders around, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't let go after all. He was obviously very angry just now, but after being beaten by Wang Chao, he actually blushed.
Wang Chao, however, was only thinking about the competition and said seriously, "Listen to me."
Ge Miao, who was sitting in the back, coughed and helped to support the scene. "Yuanyuan, be serious."
"You can judge for yourself, can you adapt to their roar?" Wang Chao asked.
Tang Yuanyuan thought for a while and sighed sadly, "It doesn't seem possible. I have been very sensitive to sounds since I was a child. I will be awakened by the slightest noise while sleeping... What should I do? Can I file a complaint against them for maliciously interfering with the game?"
Wang Chao couldn't help laughing, "No."
Of course not. It is normal for athletes to shout passionately on the field. You can't stop people from shouting just because their voices sound unpleasant, right?
In fact, some people did complain about Zhang Benkuang's roar interference in the past, but in the end International Table Tennis Federation not only ruled that the interference was not established, but also directly gave his roar a name and a special talent.
It can be seen that International Table Tennis Federation is also a strange organization.
Since there was no way to complain, we had to find a way. Fortunately, the way was not difficult, but it looked weird. Wang Chao found a tissue, tore it in half, put it into a ball and put it in Tang Yuanyuan's ears, and returned to the game.
Both the audience and Qin Huachang in front of the screen, when they saw this scene, instantly understood the reason for Tang Yuanyuan's mistake just now, and then burst into laughter.
But anyway, the game finally went on.
Tang Yuanyuan serves, still Sneak Long Serve.
Zhang Benkuang Rub the ball back.
Wang Chao lifted the board directly and successfully penetrated Hayata Hannah.
3:3, Tang Dynasty Combination tied.
Zhang Benkuang got the right to serve, and after some thought, he served a short backspin.
Wang Chao swing short.
Hayata Hannah swing short.
Tang Yuanyuan throws the ball to the opponent's backhand baseline.
Zhang Benkuang quick twisting in the table.
Wang Chao retreats and cuts sideways.
Hayata Hannah forced the circle, but ended up committing suicide by going online.
4:3, Tang Dynasty Combination overtook again.
At this point in the game, the Chinese fans who were a little worried were relieved.
Facts have proved that "prestige" is indeed the weakest talent in history, and can be broken with a tissue.
As expected, there was no more suspense in the next game.
In fact, Tang Dynasty Combination's victory in the seventh ball is already very telling.
The two sides experienced a short fight and a pull on this ball. The final result was that Zhang Benkuang could not hit Wang Chao, but Hayata Hannah could not pull Wang Chao's full side-cutting backspin ball.
In essence, this is "your spear cannot pierce my shield, but my spear can pierce your shield". As soon as you enter and exit, the gap is obvious.
The score of the first game was finally fixed at 11:6. The Sakura Country combination struggled hard and fought hard, and finally achieved a score that was not too disparate.
But then it became completely unstable.
11:4 in the second game.
11:2 in the third game.
11:1 in the fourth game.
In fact, by the last round, Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hannah had collapsed and stopped calling. Especially Hayata Hannah, who is obviously taller, longer legs, firm-willed, and has a better personality. The majestic and tough girl had tears in her eyes. This was not only because she lost so miserably, but also because she actually mustered up a lot of courage to use the "Double Aura of Sound" ultimate move that the pair used to beat the opponent.
She tried her best to lose face and used her ultimate move. She thought that Double Aura of Sound double sourness could turn the tide of the battle and create a miracle, but in the end it was broken by a simple tissue...
Well, considering that Tang Yuanyuan changed a tissue in the third game, strictly speaking, it should be two tissues that broke Double Aura of Sound's ultimate move.
"Fortunately, I didn't shave my head..." This was Hayata Hannah's last blessing when he left the stage.
What she didn't know was that Wang Chao actually had the ability to shave his head in the last round, but at the last moment, Wang Chao suddenly remembered that during the T2 game last year, Zhang Benkuang took the initiative to talk to her in the restaurant and revealed some inside information about Sakura Country, the executive vice president of the Table Tennis Association, Yoshikawa Dai Moku, who was trying to beat her.
It was this kind of kindness that helped them save their last face.
There are two more things worth mentioning about this game.
First, Qin Huachang asserted before the game that the game would never exceed 20 minutes, but in the end, due to a small accident caused by Double Aura of Sound and the subsequent timeout, the game lasted a few more minutes. In the end, the total duration was fixed at 21 minutes, and Qin Huachang made another mistake.
Second, there were many betting dogs who originally wanted to win by buying Tang Dynasty Combination. After listening to Qin Huachang's pre-game betting instructions, they acted in the opposite direction and ran to buy Sakura Country combination to win. The result was another complete defeat. And these accounts were all recorded on Qin Huachang's head due to a combination of circumstances.
"If you hadn't said that Tang Dynasty Combination would win."
"If it weren't for the fact that you're spinach poison."
"How could I buy Zhang Benkuang in reverse and win?"
"It's all your fault!"
At the same time, there were other betting dogs who chose to listen to Qin Huachang and buy "this game will end in 20 minutes", but the result was a complete failure.
"If you hadn't said the game wouldn't last more than 20 minutes."
"If we didn't trust you so much."
"How could we possibly lose money?"
"It's all your fault!"
There is no reason to lose after betting on dogs. Anyway, they are all reasons, and you can't blame yourself no matter how much you blame. Therefore, even if Qin Huachang makes various divine predictions in the following days and never misses a game, his crowns of "Spinach Poison" and "Professional Poisonous Milk" will never be taken off.
After the final, there was an award ceremony. During the award ceremony, there were interviews with the players and an on-site flag raising, which represented glory for the country. However, I have to say that this time the mixed doubles awards were a bit boring and tasteless.
On the one hand, it's because there is really nothing to interview on both sides of the competition.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a one-sided fight. Hayata Hannah's ultimate move of Double Aura of Sound is not so much an opportunity for reversal as it is a farce that only adds to the laughter.
Therefore, the runner-up Sakura Country combination simply expressed their determination to "practice harder in the future" during the interview, and ended the competition hastily. They even refused to comment on Tang Dynasty Combination, who defeated them.
When Wang Chao and Tang Yuanyuan was interviewed, he really couldn't say such blind lies as "the opponent is very strong, but we are better prepared" against his will. He just said, "Mixed doubles is a new project, and the future is full of variables. I hope everyone can make progress together."
This is a wave of forced humility.
Tang Yuanyuan actually has a dream. Don't forget, she is a veteran sufferer of Internet novel poisoning. Back then, she kept claiming that the ancestral exercises of the Tang family could produce natural divine power. She claimed that she was a martial arts wizard in the end of the law, and she idolized Luo Jiu. This time, she actually thought carefully about the winning slogan, and she proposed it at noon today to seek everyone's opinions.
She wanted to imitate Luo Jiu and say, "If God had not given birth to me Tang Yuanyuan, mixed doubles would last forever." However, this suggestion was severely stopped by Ge Miao.
What really makes the Mixed Doubles Awards Ceremony seem tasteless is not whether the Mixed Doubles itself is exciting.
As we all know, when a state banquet is about to be served, no matter how delicious your appetizer or dessert is, it will not arouse the interest of the diners.
The Mixed Doubles final was just that appetizing dessert.
Men's Singles The final is the real state banquet.
The background music in the stadium became exciting at this moment, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
Before that, Wang Chao got half an hour of rest.
In fact, the reason why Wang Chao played the mixed doubles final in a heart-wrenching way was precisely to gain this little precious rest time.
From the last match day of the Open, every game is crucial, so it is no longer a matter of playing one after another. The organizers have set aside a fixed one-hour game time for each game. If the game is played early, the extra time will be rest time.
If it times out, the game will be postponed and a ten-minute break will be mandatory.
These rules are designed to allow for someone to wear two hats.
But Wang Chao, who played two consecutive finals today, actually did not set any record, because in history, there have been many people who reached the finals at the same time in different events in the same open competition. Most of these people were Chinese players.
Before the game starts, the big screen begins to warm up and broadcast relevant consultations. For example, what is being played at the moment is Lin Zijun's pre-game interview.
This was an interview he gave after defeating Hook in the morning. At that time, Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong had not yet started playing. Lin Zijun actually did not know who would enter the final and become his opponent.
"I believe the final will be fierce, yes, I'm sure of it."
"I also believe that my opponent is Wang Chao, yes, I am very sure."
Lin Zijun's words were brief, but his attitude was sincere, and his appearance as a good boy gave him a very convincing power. "I played Wang Chao once in T2 last year. I almost won, but lost in the end. Since then, I have been targeting him."
"I used to think that he and I were destined rivals, and we could keep chasing each other, but then I started to doubt myself, because I lost a lot of games, and he kept winning, and I found that he had left me far behind."
"This made me very confused. I began to wonder if I had overestimated myself. Maybe he and I were not destined opponents at all. Maybe I was just a passerby on his way to success?"
"Fortunately, I made a breakthrough, and now I am finally qualified to stand in front of him."
"But I've lost enough. This time, I want to win."
