The game between Xiao Fei and Wang Chao was finally settled at 9:13:27 local time in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with a big score of 4:0. Xiao Fei, who almost had a crushing start, failed to win even one game from Wang Chao.
The scores of the four rounds were 11:9, 11:5, 11:3, and 11:1 respectively. Each inning scores fewer points than the last.
This game almost nakedly highlighted the fatal flaw in Xiao Fei's playing style.
After the three-blade ax was cracked by Wang Chao, he basically became a lamb to be slaughtered that was completely invincible. He did not give up in the future. He still upheld the unique tenacity of Chinese table tennis players and tried to find Wang Chao's flaws from every angle.
However, he failed when fighting for touch, failed when fighting for stability, failed when fighting for placement, and failed when fighting for connection.
He used every means at his disposal and was ultimately defeated by all means.
This game is actually the first time that the world table tennis world can clearly see the true face of Xiao Fei. In the past many years, except for Sun Tianlong, there has not been any non-Chinese associations player with With Wang Chao's comprehensive skills and Wang Chao's ability to perfectly crack the three-point axe, they always encountered various problems when playing against Xiao Fei, and the game was often over before the problems really became apparent.
And when Xiao Fei meets Sun Tianlong, it always collapses early, loses fighting spirit, and loses by default, just like when Sun Tianlong was suppressed by Wang Wendong.
In fact, each generation of Huaping's Grand Slam certainly suppressed not only the next Grand Slam seed in the team, they suppressed even more other Huaping players of the same generation, as well as all foreign players of the same generation.
Otherwise, it cannot be called Great Demon King.
So when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, many players and coaches who had analyzed Xiao Fei had a sudden feeling in their hearts.
"Oh, it turns out that the truth about Xiao Fei is like this."
"Oh, so that's how Sun Tianlong defeated him back then."
"Oh, it turns out that our efforts for so many years have been in the wrong direction."
"If we find the right direction from the beginning, conduct targeted exercises, and find someone to imitate Xiao Fei's playing style, we should be able to get a few wins from him anyway, right?"
Many people in the world table tennis world felt enlightened.
But then they laughed to themselves and shook their heads.
Because they knew it was too late.
Xiao Fei is going to retire.
Perhaps it is precisely because he is retiring that Xiao Fei will play unreservedly in today's game. Regardless of his strengths and weaknesses, he will be exposed without any scruples, allowing fans around the world to take a closer look.
Otherwise, as soon as the three-ban ax was cracked, he should have given up just like he did in the past years, just like he failed time and time again when encountering Sun Tianlong.
"So, he doesn't plan to play basketball anymore..."
Even if you don't watch Qin Huachang's live broadcast, many people in the industry can glean the true meaning behind this game.
Of course, the earth will not stop because of anything. No matter how emotional everyone is, another highlight of the semi-finals still starts quickly.
Lin Li vs Fan Xiaodong.
The Chinese Ping Clan Civil War.
Heavy gunner vs heavy gunner.
Veteran vs young player.
In terms of meaning alone, this game simply represents too much.
But everyone knows that the biggest significance of this game lies in whether Lin Li can get in front of Wang Chao.
He once came back from defeat last month, losing 0:4. After the game, he looked gloomy and desperate, and could hardly contain his already fragile emotions.
A month later, he made a comeback and personally defeated his teammate Bai Feng who also wanted to get in front of Wang Chao. He got this, which may be the only opportunity before Olympic Games this year, and turned around again. He maintained his normal tone, directly declared war on Wang Chao in front of the camera, and made the same move as the super-evolved Lin Zijun last month. All of this proved how strong the desire to fight was in his heart at this moment.
He has a reason why he cannot lose to Fan Xiaodong.
Even though everyone is a disciple of Qin Clan, Fan Xiaodong is his junior disciple who needs to be protected.
Declaring war on Wang Chao in front of the whole world, this kind of thing has seriously violated his own character, so if you taste it carefully, you will know that instead of proving his determination, it is better to say that he is forcing himself and cutting off his only escape route.
He needs the courage to risk everything and fight to the best of his ability.
He even hopes to complete a super evolution like a young man at the age of 27.
Wang Chao did not leave the field to rest and recharge his batteries, even though he was very tired from the game just now.
Yes, even though he had zero seals against Xiao Fei, this does not mean that he won easily.
In order to crack Xiao Fei's three-point ax, he entered that extremely mysterious state many times in a row, constructing a model from scratch in his mind, using all his judgment and intuition. It can be said that every time he judged Xiao Fei's offensive ball, it was an overclocking of his mind, and this kind of overclocking continued throughout the entire four games.
After all, even if it is cracked, Xiao Fei still has to use his three-axe to play ball. He cannot just abandon Great Python Turn just because Wang Chao can catch his Great Python Turn.
So, have you discovered the horror of Xiao Fei?
Even if Wang Chao has found a way to crack it, in fact, the mental energy and energy consumed by him playing this game with Xiao Fei is more than the two consecutive zero-block games last month by Lin Li and Bai Feng.
Wang Chao sipped a sports drink and sat in the front row of the stands with He Jingping and Sun Tianlong, paying close attention to this civil war in Chinese table tennis.
"A Long, who do you want to win?" He Jingping asked casually.
After asking, he felt it was inappropriate and quickly added, "I'm just asking casually. If it's inconvenient, there's no need to say anything."
Sun Tianlong smiled, "What's the inconvenience? Of course I hope Lin Li wins."
He Jingping was startled and couldn't help but turn around and look. "Why?"
In fact, He Jingping has some respect for Sun Tianlong, a junior who is nearly twenty years younger than him, because he has seen everything done by Sun Tianlong since he took over the Qin family. What he saw was a completely different pattern from Qin Huachang.
He Jingping has always been very self-aware. In terms of cunning, he is not as good as Qin Huachang. In terms of human sophistication, he is not as good as Zhu Zeshi. In terms of pattern, he is not as good as Cai Guodong. Others say that his strength is pure technical analysis, but he has always felt that what he is really proud of is that he has a relatively selfless heart.
So many times, Qin Huachang took advantage of him and fought for opportunities for Qinmen disciples, but he was too lazy to care about it, because in the past many years, he really felt that Sun Tianlong needed more honors, and Lin Li temporarily performed better than Luo Jiu.
Therefore, if Old Qin wants it, just give it to him half-heartedly.
He considers himself to be a breath of fresh air in the coaching staff. Others are dark, but he has at least a touch of red.
It wasn't until Sun Tianlong became an agent coach that He Jingping discovered that Sun Tianlong was more selfless than himself.
In other words, I am only selfless, but Sun Tianlong has a grand pattern besides selflessness.
Sun Tianlong's help to Wang Chao is irreplaceable. It can be said that without Sun Tianlong's two concessions, even if Wang Chao was ten times stronger than it is now, there would be no chance of reaching its current heights.
He Jingping expressed admiration for this, and then expressed his understanding, because it is obvious that Wang Chao must be the leader of Huaping in the future. Sun Tianlong, as the leader of the older generation, personally supports the growth of the new generation of leaders. This is a more important thing than sectarian opinions, and his choice is understandable.
It is also for this reason that He Jingping asked Sun Tianlong this question before the game started.
Because he felt that Sun Tianlong would definitely want Fan Xiaodong to win.
"Since you have helped Wang Chao up with your own hands, of course you don't want to let things slip and something unexpected happen in the end, right?"
Notice the subtlety?
Just from Old He's mentality, it can be seen that he is afraid of Lin Li.
In fact, Zhu Zeshi is far more afraid of Lin Li than He Jingping.
After Xiao Fei lost, Zhu Zeshi's first reaction was to regret, shake his head, and sigh, instead of changing his mind and being pleased with Wang Chao's performance.
This is because, even though Wang Chao cracked Xiao Fei's three tricks so amazingly, Zhu Zeshi still feels that Lin Li is very troublesome.
"Do you think Lin Li is difficult to deal with?" Sun Tianlong asked this question directly.
He Jingping nodded.
"In fact, it may be a little more troublesome than you think, because he has done special training for Wang Chao this month." Sun Tianlong said, "And I am the content creator of this special training."
He Jingping was a little surprised and didn't understand. "But haven't you been helping Wang Chao fight for this quota?"
"You misunderstood." Sun Tianlong was very calm and explained, "I actually don't care who can enter Olympic Games, because with me and Luo Jiu here, the Olympic gold medal is actually unlikely to be taken away by other countries. Therefore, anyone who wants to compete for the Olympic Games quota, no No matter who it is, I will help as much as I can. Wang Chao needs a chance, so I will give it to him. My junior brother needs to prove himself, and I will help him. In the end, it doesn't matter who is actually selected. What is important is that I hope that in the few months before Olympic Games starts, they can compete more intensely and improve more."
He smiled, "You are also an athlete, so you should also know that in fact, the stage of greatest improvement in a player's career is often under high pressure. I am quite happy to see their current atmosphere of chasing each other."
His smile suddenly became a little narrow, "You said... if Wang Chao is really suppressed by my junior brother and loses Olympic Games's qualification for this competition, will it be better for his future development?"
He Jingping I have nothing to say.
He knew that the pattern of Sun Tianlong was huge, but now he discovered that the pattern of this young man was much bigger than what he saw.
So he looked away.
That's right, the worst outcome is that Wang Chao misses Olympic Games this time.
So what does it matter?
Wang Chao is only 18 years old. It doesn't matter if he plays Olympic Games for two more times. The gold medal that belongs to him will come sooner or later.
Sun Tianlong Aren't you a late bloomer yourself?
In the final analysis, an athlete's ultimate achievement does not depend on how amazing he is when he debuts, but on how many honors he has received when he retires.
On the field, the game has begun.
When Lin Li guessed the coin successfully and got the right to serve, the fans at the scene started laughing.
Although Wang Chao had just defeated Coin Toss Law an hour ago, everyone still habitually believed that the one who got the right to serve must be the weaker side.
But the game that followed shattered the audience's judgment and once again shattered Coin Toss Law, which Wang Chao had just broken.
Lin Li 4:2 defeated Fan Xiaodong.
This match is very nice to watch, even better than Lin Li playing Bai Feng.
Because although Bai Feng dares to fight Lin Li, he is inferior in strength, so his hard fights are often made through various line changes and rotation directions to create difficulty for Lin Li.
But Fan Xiaodong is not, Fan Xiaodong is pure violence.
Facing Lin Li's high-quality heavy artillery, he responded with the same high-quality heavy artillery.
However, both of them had strong defensive capabilities, so the situation became quite intense. Sometimes the two sides continued to attack and pull back, with seven or eight boards in one fight, from the near table to the middle table, from the middle table to the far table, and all kinds of super long-distance forehand loops. The audience was mesmerized, and the whole audience shouted to help them count the number of boards in the stalemate.
And sometimes when one side gets the initiative, it is difficult to kill the other side with one blow. They will still end up in a multi-round stalemate, but the scene is no longer a forehand pull between the two sides, but one side pulling hard, and the other blocking, blocking, and maybe regaining the balance, giving you a forceful counter pull that catches you off guard.
The game lasted for 75 minutes, and three balls were broken during the game, which was considered the ultimate in violence.
I remember when Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong first met on Swedish Open, they broke two balls. At that time, Fan Xiaodong was the only violent turtle.
Today there are two violent turtles, Fan Xiaodong and Lin Li. The average number of rounds per ball is far better than that of Swedish Open. In the end, only three goals were broken. What does this mean? It means that the quality of the table tennis balls used this time is better than the last time.
Why?
Because last time the ball was made in Europe, this time the ball is made in China. Everyone knows the meaning of "Made in China".
Okay, let's get down to business.
The end of this game actually shows one thing: there is something wrong with Fan Xiaodong's ball.
At first, Qin Huachang wanted Fan Xiaodong to win against Wang Chao in his debut, but it was actually because Wang Chao was not familiar with Fan Xiaodong's style of play, and Fan Xiaodong's playing style is extreme enough, so Qin Huachang believes that Wang Chao is likely to underestimate and make mistakes when facing Fan Xiaodong, which will subsequently affect his mentality and collapse to the end.
But in fact, after Wang Chao defeated Fan Xiaodong for the first time, Fan Xiaodong continued to lose to the Chinese table tennis veteran in the subsequent world competitions, although he did not lose in foreign games.
All in all, this is the second time he has lost to Lin Li.
Before that, in June Malaysia Open, he lost once to Xiao Fei.
"Xiao Dong's playing style is too simple. He actually has a good touch and a very smart mind, but he still lacks experience. The teacher had already told him a lot about game experience before leaving. But from the actual combat effect, he did not do well because once he encounters real difficulties, he will subconsciously return to his most confident violent style..."
"He also has a big problem, which is slow warm-up. He thinks it doesn't matter, but I think that although there is indeed a difference in the speed of players getting into form, slow warm-up is certainly not insurmountable. If it continues to be slow, it only shows that he does not pay enough attention to it and does not want to make tedious corrections to his already established playing habits to completely correct this shortcoming."
"So I hope to see him lose. Only losing will make him feel pain. The worse the loss, the more painful it will be. If it hurts so much, he will be willing to change."
"So after I took over, I simply didn't tell him any experience."
Sun Tianlong did not hide anything, and confessed his thoughts to He Jingping: "I think, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Olympics approaching, everyone in Huaping is working hard and has a strong desire to win. At this time, put more Xiao Dong comes out to play and let him lose more, preferably in a different way every time. In this case, he can sum up his experience and sincerely want to improve, and take the initiative to ask me for help. This will be much better than me directly indoctrinating him."
Sun Tianlong lost countless games back then. He himself went through the same path to become the most experienced player recognized in the world today. And if a peerless genius like Fan Xiaodong follows Qin Huachang's training model, Sun Tianlong feels that Fan Xiaodong will lose too few games and it will be difficult for him to grow to a sufficient height in the future.
He believes that the harder you fall, the higher you fly. If it is difficult for his junior brother to wrestle because his talent is too high, then he will find a way to create difficulties and let him fall.
In fact, Sun Tianlong also wanted Wang Chao to lose a few months ago, but it's a pity that he didn't do it, because Wang Chao has become a phenomenon in just half a year.
So when it was Fan Xiaodong's turn, Sun Tianlong felt that he could not make this kind of mistake again no matter what, and he had to start from the beginning.
"So, this month, while helping Lin Li target Wang Chao, I also had a small discussion with Lin Li on how to deal with his own junior brother."
He Jingping was stunned. When he looked at Sun Tianlong, he didn't have such an upright and awe-inspiring temperament. Instead, there was a bit of evil in his smile.
He Jingping was a little confused for a moment.
Why did even A Long start to cause trouble behind his back?
Could it be that every player will gradually turn black from the outside to the inside after changing to a coach?
(This is the first update today, brothers, because rng won the championship. As a ten-year-old fan of lpl, I have to go to the carnival. Whether it is to watch the "Hot Discussions on the Internet" series or to go to the post bar to fight fiercely with krdogs, I am duty-bound!)
