After the timeout, the game continues.
Wang Chao still sends short backspin, but this time the landing point is closer to Lin Zijun's backhand position on the table.
In fact, during the meeting in T2 last year, Wang Chao didn't serve Lin Zijun's backhand the entire time, because at that time Lin Zijun's strongest point was his world-class backhand speed, and Wang Chao at that time couldn't stop it.
A year later, Lin Zijun has achieved super evolution in speed and defense. On the contrary, the strongest attack point at the beginning has not improved significantly, while Wang Chao has greatly improved its defense capabilities with the increase in strength.
Today, he is fully capable of dealing with Lin Zijun's backhand fast twist. Not only can he keep up with the reaction, but he can also step back and pull back with confidence, because his current Forehand Loop in the middle position is powerful enough.
Of course, Lin Zijun actually does not consider backhand speed twisting at all.
Because Wang Chao's serve is extremely tight, if he wants to twist it, it must be a fighting ball with a low success rate. In the past, he dared to fight because he thought he could score directly if he succeeded, but now, if he succeeds, he will lose points directly. If he loses, he will directly lose points, so this move is equivalent to being sealed.
This is a technical game between athletes. As the two sides continue to undergo subtle changes in various indicators, this kind of game is also happening all the time, affecting the whole body. Theoretically, any two opponents who have not played against each other for more than three months must re-test, become familiar with each other again, and then build a new data model for each other in their minds, and think of new confrontation strategies based on the new model.
This is the reason why it is said that table tennis is more demanding on the brain than on the physical body.
This is also the reason why table tennis competitions must have off-site guidance.
At this time, Lin Zijun's swing was short, and Wang Chao followed suit. Soon, five rounds passed. Lin Zijun did not reveal any flaws, but it felt a little unsustainable. He had to take the initiative to change his moves and throw the ball to Wang Chao's forehand baseline at a wide angle.
In fact, Lin Zijun is a little depressed at the bottom of his heart.
It's not that he hasn't played against Ruiwei players. In fact, the so-called " Ruiwei " only means that your touch is naturally more delicate than others. It does not mean that you will definitely win if you fight short.
When Lin Zijun played against Mizutori Hato, there were times when he won in short battles. When playing against Zhu Shixian, there were many intra-stage fights to gain the initiative. In fact, these two people have more experience than him and have better handles than him.
So the key issue is not actually nuance, but stability.
Wang Chao is so stable, as stable as a machine. When its hand feel is theoretically better than yours, then it can use its stability to make its actual hand feel better than yours all the time, without making any mistakes.
So Lin Zijun has played a total of eight balls so far, and has been short of Wang Chao six times. He is already a little discouraged.
Although he is not afraid of Wang Chao's attack, he always has a little bit of a competitive spirit, thinking that he who has just completed the super evolution should also be able to have a certain bonus in fighting shortcomings.
Facts have proved that the bonus is indeed there, but it is impossible to win Wang Chao.
As soon as the ball reaches the bottom line, Wang Chao is directly followed by Pike-style backhand loop. The power is very strong and the side spin of the ball is obvious.
Lin Zijun concentrated on making a beautiful push back, still pushing Wang Chao's forehand baseline.
Wang Chao took a step forward and still attacked with his backhand, but it was not a strong spin like Pike, but a fast twist on the table like Lin Zijun.
Lin Zijun didn't feel much pressure, because the offensive power of Wang Chao was indeed far worse than that of Hook. He just felt a little tired, because although the strength of the two backhand attacks was not much different, their attributes were very different. One was ordinary flight speed plus strong front spin, and the other was extremely fast flight speed plus weak back spin. It could be said that none of the indicators were the same.
So in order to ensure that when he blocks the ball, he will not spin, step out, or get high, he must carefully calculate and readjust the angle between the racket and the table, as well as the inclination of the racket surface itself.
When the ball was blocked, Wang Chao actually stopped pulling, and directly rubbed the ball with his backhand, rubbing the ball to Lin Zijun's backhand at a wide angle.
Lin Zijun At this moment, he wanted to retreat directly and attack, but gave up this idea in the shortest possible time.
Because his strength is still weak, and the backhand pull is weaker than the forehand pull. In the case of this kind of ball, if he steps back and pulls back, the power must be completely worth mentioning. If the ball is pulled back, it will be like a meal. Wang Chao can probably think of a hundred ways to catch the ball.
So Lin Zijun finally chose to rub the ball in the same way. In order to limit Wang Chao's work, he rubbed the ball closer to the center.
This is equivalent to re-introducing the situation to the level of short backspin.
But Wang Chao did not swing short this time, because the quality of the short backspin produced by Lin Zijun in this situation is far inferior to that of a direct serve.
So he took a step forward and played directly on the table, changing the line Lin Zijun to the baseline forehand position.
Lin Zijun was able to react, but he couldn't block the ball because Wang Chao hit the farthest baseline directly, and the ball bounced out directly.
Lin Zijun could only take half a step back from the stage and pulled the ball back with his forehand.
He still did not choose to draw a heavy arc with all his strength, nor did he choose to rush directly, but it was similar to a fast belt.
Because he really doesn't want to launch a brute force attack at such a mid-range distance. He knows himself well that his active attack at this time really cannot kill anyone.
Wang Chao was not polite, he took a step forward and charged hard.
Lin Zijun quickly blocked the ball.
Wang Chao charged again, with fierce movements, but in the end he pulled a very limp ball, as if his posture was wrong and his strength was not in place.
This made Lin Zijun obviously stunned for a moment, because he had never thought of such a thing.
But the ball Wang Chao was really not a kill, so after being stunned for a moment, he still blocked it.
Wang Chao stepped back from the stage and waited for the bullet to fly for a while. The ball was originally a super fast return ball, but it flew all the way outside the table and fell under the table. He then used a very precise and moderate force to pull it up. It almost crossed an arc, just crossed the net, and landed in the middle of the table on Lin Zijun's side, not too close but not too far.
This ball has enough rounds and long enough, but it is not passionate enough. At this moment, if there is a camera that can take a close-up of Lin Zijun, you will find that he has a complex expression that is extremely speechless, extremely boring, and extremely crazy.
He was really tired.
"This ball is really amazing." Originally it was not a very attractive ball, but Qin Huachang was so excited when he saw it. It was like a gourmet seeing a real gourmet feast. His tone was full of admiration. "What should I say? Tsk tsk, this ball is unparalleled, wonderful, the essence, the essence!"
"Oh, you don't understand? Then let me explain it briefly. In fact, the principle is not complicated. It's just that Wang Chao is using various methods to disrupt Lin Zijun's rhythm, and Lin Zijun is probably going crazy."
It's not that Qin Huachang didn't elaborate, but the tempo on the court was too fast. After he said these few words, the ball had already produced a result. In the end, Lin Zijun chose the forehand position to charge with all his strength, but was blocked by Wang Chao. Then he quickly twisted his backhand in the table, but he twisted the billiard ball and committed suicide and lost points.
5:3, Wang Chao widened the score gap.
Lin Zijun regained the right to serve, but was not in a hurry to serve. He ran slowly around his half of the court, his movements were very slow, and there were many small details. He pulled the collar of his jersey, twisted his neck, turned his ankles, then squatted down and started to tie the shoelaces that had not come loose...
This shows that Lin Zijun's mind is indeed free, and he can already execute tactics as if no one else is around. His small actions at the moment are just buying time to think about ways to break the game. In the past, even if he was unsure, he might serve quickly because he would subconsciously feel that everyone is waiting for him and the audience is watching him. If he doesn't serve quickly, he will be questioned and heckled, and he will feel uncomfortable.
In a sense, freeing one's mind is similar to being thick-skinned.
"It's a pity that he probably can't find a way." Qin Huachang sighed at this time, but he couldn't hold it back after all, and said something suspected of prediction, "It's fine if he can't understand Wang Chao's strategy, but if he understands it, he will be desperate... because what Wang Chao uses is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy."
Yes, this is a real conspiracy.
Wang Chao has long understood the importance of a king's heart. Since then, he has seldom used pure intrigues. Even if he occasionally uses tricks, it is within the scope of fair calculations. What he wants is to win the game openly and openly, rather than using any off-field factors, so until now, what he has relied on has actually always been his skills.
If he just wants to win, he can accept an interview before the game and say something weird and let Lin Zijun hear it, which can easily mislead Lin Zijun's judgment, mess up Lin Zijun's mentality, make him suspicious, make him worry about gains and losses, and make his analysis of himself go in the wrong direction.
After all, Lin Zijun has shown a strong desire to win. This desire to win is itself an obsession, and any obsession can be exploited. With Wang Chao's mind, it is easy to calculate such things.
It's just that this kind of mind-attacking technique is too vicious and is a deviant approach, similar to the evil quick success method in martial arts novels. Wang Chao used it last year, but this year he no longer bothers to do it.
He thought he could win if he played normally.
He has a very huge natural advantage over Lin Zijun, that is, he has richer skills and better stability.
He is not only the universal glue in the mixed doubles arena, but also the universal adapter in the singles arena. As long as it is within the scope of his abilities, he can play any theoretically possible tactics.
Such as now.
When he attacks, he can not only switch between different offensive methods smoothly and freely, but he can also constantly change the rhythm of the offense while using different methods.
The former is something that most top players can do, while the latter is probably something that only a handful of people in the world can do, because it requires an abnormal amount of control over rhythm, time, and space.
The vast majority of professional players only adapt to their own rhythm and cannot adapt to the rhythm of their opponents. If you ask them to actively change their rhythm, they may even make themselves unable to play.
This is just like many great internet writers who switched to writing other subjects, only to die miserably.
But Wang Chao can produce multiple rhythms by one person, which is equivalent to a writer who is proficient in writing various types of themes and has many completely different emphases.
He forced the ball in various ways, one time fast, one time slow, one time turning, one time not turning, one time long, one time short, one time left, one time right, one time attacking, one time rubbing the ball, and all kinds of unconventional ways of handling the ball. He wanted to cut when he could attack, he wanted to challenge when he should swing short, he wanted to temporarily stop his hand when he needed to use force, and he could even cooperate with various fake moves.
Lin Zijun was so driven by him that he was at a loss as to what to do.
However, Wang Chao was always testing the boundaries between Lin Zijun's "can attack" and "unable to attack", sometimes crossing the line and sometimes not. This caused Lin Zijun to hesitate a lot in making on-the-spot judgments.
If the opponent is Hook, Wang Chao actually cannot fight like this, because Hook is too violent. If you don't test it well, he will come up and hit hard, and you may not be able to block it.
However, the weakness of Lin Zijun's lack of active attack power is clearly reflected at this moment: Wang Chao is not afraid of his attack, so he dares to try all kinds of death attempts.
Lin Zijun always wanted to play defense. What he put up was a steel plate several meters thick, and he wanted to block a strong crossbow. But Wang Chao was holding a small wallpaper knife. Instead of stabbing it from the front, he wanted to go around in a circle. Finding weak points makes Lin Zijun unable to keep the steel plate erect in front of him. Instead, he must constantly move and change the protective position to neutralize Wang Chao's ever-changing attack patterns.
Lin Zijun still wants to counterattack, but the premise of his counterattack is that Wang Chao first gives him a powerful and line-matching explosive charge, because he needs to borrow strength.
However, the only few times Wang Chao attacked with force, either the line was too crooked, the height was too low, or the intensity was not enough. None of them were normal, so Lin Zijun waited and waited, but never got an opportunity.
He came with full fighting spirit, but when Wang Chao played with him, he lost his sense of normalcy and started to become restless.
So from 3:3 to 5:3, Wang Chao's two consecutive scores were actually committed by Lin Zijun's own attack and suicide.
When he attacks and starts committing suicide, it means his mentality is out of balance.
If communication was allowed on site, he would probably yell angrily at Wang Chao: Can't you just let me have a good time? Just one moment will do.
Hook makes me feel so good, but you don't give me any pleasure. Can we still be friends?
Beside the baffle, Sun Tianlong looked at this scene with a knowing smile.
Because what Wang Chao is doing now is what he has been doing for the past few years.
The top table tennis players must play rhythm.
What's subtle, what's top speed, what's strange strength, in the final analysis, they all serve the rhythm.
If I mess up your rhythm, I will tie up your hands and feet. No matter how powerful you are, you can only be at my mercy.
Sun Tianlong reminds me of when I was young.
At that time, there were also super geniuses in the world table tennis world. The young Zhuang Huishen had invincible ball speed. The young Bayer was invincible in the middle stage. The young Ochomirov attacked the entire Taiwan and blocked the whole Taiwan without any dead ends. The young Xiao Fei moved Great Python Turn's forehand kill is unstoppable, and the young Weng Chunting was not the plastic Mandarin-speaking comedian he is now. At that time, he did not know Penhold Backhand Loop, but he still won the runner-up of a certain National Games competition with a straight block and a forehand blast.
These people are unparalleled in their own specialties, and they are all far better than Sun Tianlong, but in the end, Sun Tianlong relies on his comprehensive skills and rhythm to crush them, and defeats them all.
What Wang Chao is doing now is doing the same thing as him, suppressing the non-Chinese associations super genius who belongs to this era.
Sun Tianlong It was like seeing history at this moment.
At the same time, he also confirmed one thing: Wang Chao really does not need his help.
Because Wang Chao's ability to read the game is not inferior to him at all.
Yes, his game experience is still lacking compared to his own, but he is facing Lin Zijun, and Lin Zijun is even less experienced.
So in this game, from the beginning, Wang Chao didn't need him, and never thought about getting his help.
"So, what is he trying to do?" Sun Tianlong thought leisurely, and then, a unique possibility gradually emerged in his mind.
"Just to repay me? Because I helped him with the playing quota."
Sun Tianlong was a little relieved when he thought this. His teacher Qin Huachang privately scolded Wang Chao many times for being a little silver coin, but now it seems that this little silver coin is at least affectionate and righteous when he treats his own people, which is enough.
