The game continues.
Xiao Fei got the right to serve and still chose short backspin.
There are many kinds of serves in table tennis technology, and they are all strange and dazzling. Even in the same posture, as long as one detail is different, the ball will have different effects. The reason why these serving methods are all established is actually because in the long history of more than a hundred years of table tennis players in the world, very few can truly build their own tactical system to be impeccable. At the same time, they are also impeccable in terms of technical mastery and on-the-spot performance.
Therefore, the vast majority of table tennis players have flaws. Some are afraid of sneak attacks, some are afraid of spin, some are afraid of long balls, some are afraid of short balls, some backhand positions are unstable, some forehand positions are not aggressive, and so on.
Because there are flaws, there are serving methods to target these flaws, and finally there are all kinds of serving methods today.
But in theory, the best serve is always one with short backspin.
Any other serve can be directly attacked with perfect anticipation, except short backspin.
This way of serving, while giving up all attack intentions, also makes the opponent lose all possibility of attack.
Some people have short underspins because they only know how to send short underspins.
Some people have short underspins because they can't catch the opponent's flaws.
The short backspin of Wang Chao and Xiao Fei is a high recognition of each other's strength.
This is a combination of great skill and clumsiness, returning to nature.
So just from the two opening serves of Wang Chao and the subsequent third serve of Xiao Fei, we can see the high-end level of this game.
Wang Chao believes that Xiao Fei has no obvious flaws and does not eat the ball, so he can only send short backspin.
Xiao Fei also believes that Wang Chao has no obvious flaws and does not eat the ball, so he can only serve short backspin.
This is a kind of confrontation of "potentials". Although invisible, they pull each other and move the whole body.
So facing Xiao Fei's serve, all Wang Chao could do was to swing short.
Of course, he can also directly throw the long ball from the baseline, or even force the lob in the table if he is bolder, but if he does not want to directly give up the initiative, he can only choose to compete with Xiao Fei head-on with the short ball in the table.
At this time, Wang Chao was still calm. Although Xiao Fei had two consecutive offensive opportunities that made him passive in the situation, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with his performance, nor did he feel that he had really exposed his flaws. In this case, he should still insist on "putting me first."
At least observe again.
Xiao Fei swing short.
Wang Chao swing is short.
Xiao Fei swings short again.
Wang Chao swings short again.
At this time, Xiao Fei suddenly leaned forward and pressed down. Just like the two balls just now, he took the lead in taking a challenging stance.
Obviously, he once again seized the offensive opportunity in advance.
This time, countless people in the industry in front of the screen all said "Hey" and opened their eyes wide at the same time, trying to see the details more clearly.
Because everyone can see that there is really no problem with the short swing of Wang Chao, so why does Xiao Fei dare to start it directly?
Xiao Fei raised his arms, swung his racket, and with a not-so-clear sound, the ball was driven by him through a short and thrilling arc, perfectly crossed the net, and landed on the stage on Wang Chao's side.
The wide-eyed industry insiders are still wide-eyed because they don't understand.
But a few people including Qin Huachang, He Jingping, Sun Tianlong, Rohlskov, Old Wa, and Wang Chao on the field, made another voice from their hearts at this moment. "Oh."
This is the tone of realization.
This time they understood.
Xiao Fei is considered by many people within China Table Tennis and the world table tennis circles to be the world's number one forehand because he not only has a move called Great Python Turn that is completely different from anyone else's, but also because his forehand is very precise and flexible when handling small balls in the table. At his peak, he once competed with Sun Tianlong has met in the finals many times, and faced off against Sun Tianlong countless times. Although he couldn't beat him, he has never been defeated. In fact, his ability to handle small balls in the table has been tested. So far, the only one who has really clearly failed to beat him is Sun Tianlong.
However, Sun Tianlong is known as the best player in the world, and even the humble Luo Jiu dare not confront him head-on. So, it is actually normal for Xiao Fei to be suppressed by Sun Tianlong.
He has never been known as a small ball in the world table tennis world, not because he is not strong, but because he has a stronger one above his head.
But Xiao Fei has always known how strong he is.
In this game, he chose to compete head-on with Wang Chao precisely because he didn't think the talent of being subtle was that great.
Sun Tianlong can claim to be number one in the world without talent.
Bayer has no talent and can be called the number one in Europe.
Then Xiao Fei, besides Sun Tianlong, who else is he afraid of?
In the first three balls of this game, he seized the opportunity to attack without exception, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
"But Xiao Fei didn't really win against Wang Chao in Dou Duan. He just won because of the particularity of his own technology. This cannot be copied..."
Qin Huachang stared at the screen and murmured to himself, not caring whether the audience in the live broadcast room could hear clearly. "Only such a sticky racket, coupled with his unique hitting posture, can forcefully create opportunities when there is no chance at all."
This is exactly what Qin Huachang understands.
On the field, Wang Chao also understood.
It turns out that whether Xiao Fei attacks or not does not depend at all on how far, how low, or how short his swing is, but entirely depends on the subtle difference in the landing point.
Wang Chao has always controlled the landing point near the center, but humans are not machines, and the ball's landing point is still fluctuating. Sometimes it deviates to the left, and sometimes it deviates to the right. As long as it does not deviate to the point where the receiver needs to change his posture, it is still within the normal range of fluctuations.
But this normal fluctuation range is abnormal for Xiao Fei.
For these three consecutive balls, he directly launched an attack when Wang Chao's swing was short and slightly to the right.
Everyone knows that the ball in the forehand position is suitable for picking, and the ball in the backhand position is suitable for twisting and pulling. However, under normal circumstances, players have requirements for this degree of deviation, because whether the arm holding the racket is extended forward or to the right, the subsequent force exertion is completely different. After all, the angle at which my wrist can be twisted is limited, and the structure of the human body has its natural limitations.
But Xiao Fei breaks through this limitation because his wrist is more flexible than others.
This can actually be regarded as a talent, although there is no definition of this in the table tennis world.
He only needs the ball to tilt slightly to the right, and he can use more exaggerated wrist and arm rotations to directly hit the forehand position while keeping his body basically unchanged. His super sticky racket, as well as his ability to rub the ball more fully and for a longer time than other players, allow him to forcibly wrap up the ball with extremely strong backspin and extremely low rebound, and "throw" it to the opposite table through his arm movements.
If you don't understand, you can simply think that if the short swing of Wang Chao lands near the center, it is invulnerable, but if it lands on the right hand side of the table, it is theoretically possible to attack. The uniqueness of Xiao Fei is that he can treat a ball that lands near the center as a right-hand ball.
Therefore, his attack is not a fight in nature, but a reasonable opportunity.
That's why he was able to successfully hit three consecutive balls, ensuring a 100% success rate.
Rohlskov took a deep breath at this moment, leaned back, and felt a little chill in his heart.
As German Table Tennis Association's head coach who hasn't changed in more than ten years, he has certainly studied Xiao Fei. He even watched videos of Xiao Fei's hundreds of games in the past years, but he really didn't notice that Xiao Fei's simple forehand on-court pick contained such mysterious details.
In the past, he just thought that Xiao Fei's on-table shots were pretty good and his success rate was not low. However, because there were very few players with mediocre strength and invincible skills like Wang Chao, Xiao Fei rarely used forehands with people on the table. Xiao Fei occasionally hit a ball when the opponent's swing was short. When Rohlskov saw it, he just thought he was in good condition, or lamented that Xiao Fei was lucky and actually hit a Unreasonable Shot.
He didn't realize at all that this was not Unreasonable Shot at all, but a rational ball. This kind of ball could be repeated.
The reason why he felt chilled was because Xiao Fei was actually a Chinese table tennis veteran whom he had long thought was nothing to fear, but now he actually performed a "stunt" that he had never known before his eyes.
This is terrible.
Because this will make him involuntarily think, are there some extremely small but mysterious unique skills hidden in other Chinese table tennis players that I have not discovered?
So over the years, how much have I overlooked and how much have I made mistakes?
Rohlskov didn't have so much self-doubt before, but since he misunderstood Hook's problems and was publicly slapped in the face by He Jingping, his confidence began to weaken. This was not because he was old, but because he realized deep down that his vision and experience might not be as good as he thought.
At this moment, Xiao Fei got the opportunity to attack, and Wang Chao retreated to resist. However, Xiao Fei showed the unparalleled rich experience of the national brand veteran in this advantageous situation. He attacked for two consecutive boards and would rather He also pursued speed while reducing the spin, forcing Wang Chao to speed up the rhythm and not letting Wang Chao stop. After these two boards, he slowed down first and launched his signature Great Python Turn.
Although this move didn't directly kill Wang Chao, it knocked Wang Chao's control to the point of collapse. Then he followed it with two moves, one with a fast ball to attack the forehand position, and one with a spin move to attack the backhand position, which forcefully penetrated Wang Chao.
3:0, Xiao Fei scored another point.
At this moment, the audience was in an uproar, followed by waves of applause. Even the host of a Swedish sports channel who was live broadcast thousands of miles away sighed simultaneously, "It is indeed not unfair for our Morad player to lose to Xiao Fei. It turns out that even Old Wa was mistaken. This person is so strong!"
Xiao Fei serves again, still with short backspin.
Wang Chao still chose to swing short, but since he saw the clues, this time he subconsciously controlled the position of Xiao Fei's backhand, not giving Xiao Fei a chance to rebound.
Facts have proved that this trick is effective, because the ball has been fighting for eight rounds. Just when the audience was getting a little impatient, Wang Chao finally found an opportunity, took the initiative to take the initiative, and launched an in-table backhand twist.
The force of this twist was average, the rotation was average, but the speed was extremely fast, and it still changed the line. The ball flew past an edge of the table in an extremely thrilling way, and landed on the Xiao Fei backhand baseline at a wide angle.
This ball fully demonstrates the adaptability of Wang Chao.
The failure of the first three balls was just because he didn't understand Xiao Fei's short swing pattern. When he saw it clearly, he quickly changed tactics and began to suppress Xiao Fei's backhand. At this time, Wang Chao's technical prowess was directly reflected.
He could even suppress Dragon Team's backhand, how could he not be able to suppress Xiao Fei?
You must know that Xiao Fei and Dragon Team were originally members of the same era, and they also used the popular style of play at the time. Although there have been occasional changes over the years, for an athlete, the truly ingrained things cannot be changed, just like his natural limbs, and the new technologies learned later cannot reach the point of being born from the heart. They are just like the weapons held in the hands, which are extra parts that are extended.
Therefore, Xiao Fei's backhand is just like Dragon Team. Strictly speaking, it is a weak point. It does not have super powerful attack methods like Sissifield or Pike.
Xiao Fei pulls backhand, the strength is average, but the landing point is very precise. Wang Chao moves laterally quickly, and comes again with the forehand.
Xiao Fei pulls back with his backhand.
Wang Chao explodes with a forehand.
Xiao Fei can't pull anymore, can only push and block.
Wang Chao's forehand exploded again.
Xiao Fei pushed again and the ball was already quite high.
At this time Wang Chao faced a choice: continue to suppress the backhand or quickly mobilize the forehand?
Xiao Fei is already standing on the far left side of the table. At this time, it is possible to score directly by hoisting the ball to the right side of the table from a close point. However, if Xiao Fei has predicted and can complete the early move, he can also take advantage of the situation and use a forehand to seize the initiative.
So this is a choice with both risks and opportunities.
There is not much to say about continuing to suppress the backhand. Wang Chao will continue to take the initiative until Xiao Fei loses a certain ball.
Wang Chao only took a tenth of a second to make a decision in his mind, and continued to suppress the backhand steadily, turning a blind eye to the opportunity in front of him.
He believes that his choice is right.
Because when he faced Dragon Team in March this year, he had encountered exactly the same choice.
At that time, Dragon Team had deliberately exposed his flaws many times, trying every possible means to lure Wang Chao into using a wide angle, but Wang Chao was unmoved, and the whole audience suppressed the backhand. From the beginning to the end, not a single ball was returned to the forehand position. In the end, Dragon Team was forced to have no choice but to forcefully move due to injuries and force his forehand to catch the ball in the backhand position. Although he regained some points, his body was completely exhausted.
Wang Chao believes that Xiao Fei, who comes from the same era as Dragon Team, must have had many games of "mutually suppressing backhands" with Dragon Team, so Xiao Fei will definitely use the same routine as Dragon Team.
At this time, it is right to remain unchanged in response to all changes.
Wang Chao attacked another board. This was already his sixth board to suppress Xiao Fei's backhand. He felt that Xiao Fei's defense was loosening. Perhaps within the next three boards, Xiao Fei would be penetrated.
But at this time Xiao Fei suddenly made a move.
He took two steps back from the table, completely outside the table, and allowed Wang Chao and Forehand Loop to fly out of the table, fly thirty centimeters in front of him, and begin to fall.
Xiao Fei's body squatted slightly, his feet were slightly apart, and his body was like taking root. He lowered his arms and placed the racket under the ball. With a sudden cry, he pulled the racket diagonally upward from a very low position, caught the rolling ball in the middle, and rushed upward together, just like Divine Dragon Emerging from Water.
Wang Chao felt a thump in his heart and realized something was wrong.
This action was all too familiar to him.
It was still the same battle between Table Tennis Super League in March. When Dragon Team was extremely irritated by Wang Chao's backhand, he also retreated directly in the same way. He used a super wide backhand position to completely throw away his arm and forcefully pulled the forward loop ball.
At that time, this ball directly killed Wang Chao.
Now Xiao Fei is half a head taller than Dragon Team. His racket is stickier and has stronger friction than Dragon Team. His pulling action seems to be better than Dragon Team is even more hearty. When it is pulled to the highest point, it even has an extremely skillful sideways movement, just like half a Great Python Turn, forcibly giving this already terrifying extreme pull the ball the side spin attribute in the last section.
With just one glance, Wang Chao immediately understood one thing: it turned out that Dragon Team's move that day was not original, but was learned from Xiao Fei.
And Xiao Fei's current pull was three points more powerful than Dragon Team.
With a "bang" sound, the ball landed on the Wang Chao racket. Unable to control its unparalleled spin, the ball flew directly out.
4:0, Xiao Fei just scored another point in an extremely passive situation.
At this point, Qin Huachang, who had been staring at the screen, finally couldn't help it and screamed, "I'll wipe it!"
At this moment, He Jingping and Sun Tianlong, who were sitting in the audience, looked at each other.
At this moment, Zhu Zeshi, who was also sitting in the audience, smiled slightly and seemed to have a lot of wisdom.
At this moment, Cai Guodong opened his mouth slightly and stared at Xiao Fei with a murderous look on his face for a long time. He suddenly shook his head and laughed at himself, "Xiao Fei, you are suddenly so brave, I am so embarrassed..."
Even Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but turn around and ask Ge Miao next to him, "Wang Chao won't lose this game, right?"
Ge Miao said leisurely, "It's actually a good thing that he lost. It can save him a lot of trouble later."
In fact, Ge Miao's eyesight and knowledge are not that good. The fact that she can say this can only mean that Zhu Zeshi has already known everything to her.
But Tang Yuanyuan didn't care. She shook her head and said, "How can that be done? Wang Chao can't lose."
"It's not that there is no chance." Ge Miao touched her head and said with a smile, "Then let's continue and see if he can stop Xiao Fei, who was once famous but is now rarely known. Opening Three Axe Slashes."
(Brothers, there is only one update today. There should have been two updates. I have already written 3,000 words, but the state is really bad. The things I wrote are really not good. If I force it to write, the game will be ruined, so I just deleted it and went to bed. We will see you tomorrow)
