When the second game started, the audience spontaneously organized a wave of people and began to cheer rhythmically. Then, these Hungarian native foreign audiences actually started calling Wang Chao's name in broken Chinese.
This is naturally not because they are all fans of Wang Chao, but because the audience mistakenly believed that Wang Chao is currently in a bad situation, so they hope that Wang Chao will cheer up.
The audience has only one thought: let's play the full seven games.
Luo Jiu serves, still short backspin.
Wang Chao still swings short.
Luo Jiu still continues to swing short.
In the seventh round of the game, it was Luo Jiu who started the challenge first.
Wang Chao retreats to the table and pulls back normally, and Luo Jiu pulls the ball back normally.
By this stage, players on both sides of the table already know that the opponent wants to continue the rhythm of the previous game.
But if you look carefully, you will find that Luo Jiu has calmed down and is no longer vigilant.
He is also an extremely smart person. Even without reminders from off-field coaches, he figured everything out during the breaks between games.
There is nothing you can do if you are a fan of the authorities, but once you become a bystander, even Wang Chao cannot easily plot against Luo Jiu.
Luo Jiu is a little depressed, but has no regrets, and his mentality is quite stable, because no matter how you look at it, it is hard to say whether you will make a profit or a loss by using a little more energy in exchange for a victory.
Of course, the so-called relaxing his vigilance does not mean lying down, but that from now on, he will force himself to enter a state of calmness. He will have a regular duel with Wang Chao. He allows Wang Chao to make moves, and he also allows himself to lose one point after Wang Chao changes his moves, but then he will become vigilant again.
If we want to use the analogy of "preventing thieves", it is equivalent to the fact that Luo Jiu in the previous game was guarding against thieves for a thousand days and was very nervous, but this time Luo Jiu simply sang Empty Fort Strategy. If the thief doesn't come, everything will be fine. If the thief comes, I allow you to steal once, and I will make up for it later.
This way at least I can sleep peacefully every day until the thief comes for the first time.
This strategy seems passive, but it actually coincides with the art of war.
Because Wang Chao and Luo Jiu actually have a weak advantage over each other.
The advantage of Wang Chao is that he can always get offensive opportunities one step ahead in normal matches.
The advantage of Luo Jiu is that in normal matches, his overall hard power is slightly higher than that of Wang Chao.
The reason why Luo Jiu scored consecutively in the game just now was precisely because Wang Chao was indeed inferior in regular matches, and Wang Chao's calculation of consuming Luo Jiu's energy was based on losing points first.
So Luo Jiu figured it out, let's just fight like this, I can keep scoring, and when you hit you can't stand it anymore, you change your moves, let's be vigilant together.
There was no danger in this game, and the score reached 2:5 in the blink of an eye.
This makes sense.
Table tennis is about dynamic balance and there is a lot of luck involved. Although Wang Chao is slightly behind, the score is still normal. The reason why Luo Jiu scored consecutively in the game just now is actually because Luo Jiu invested more concentration.
Luo Jiu waited for Wang Chao to take the initiative to change his moves, and he allowed the thief to steal once.
But Wang Chao is very stable, as if he is not the one lagging behind.
So after another fierce battle, the score became 4:10, exactly the same as the previous game.
When the fight reached this point, the fans at the scene actually felt that Wang Chao was helpless.
He Jingping and Sun Tianlong looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
At many points in the game, they thought Wang Chao was going to counterattack.
Because they substitute themselves, they will also feel that it is time to start.
But Wang Chao didn't move from beginning to end.
On the contrary, it was Luo Jiu who had obviously thought about holding on steady, but after scoring more than eight points, he still subconsciously showed a trace of nervousness. It was obvious that he became wary again.
Sun and He didn't feel that Luo Jiu was not calm enough. On the contrary, they felt that Luo Jiu was like a normal person.
Wang Chao is more like a machine without emotions.
The psychological quality Wang Chao showed today can be said to be beyond imagination.
At this moment, standing in front of the stage, Luo Jiu took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, and prepared to receive Wang Chao's serve.
He knew that his mentality was fluctuating, but he couldn't suppress this nervousness with reason.
Chinese table tennis players have excellent psychological quality when playing key balls. This is recognized by the world, but Luo Jiu knows very well that this so-called excellent psychological quality does not actually mean that he is not nervous at all, but that Chinese table tennis players can work hard not to let this kind of nervousness affect their objective judgment.
To put it simply, nervousness is a matter of nervousness. You have to play how you should play. You can neither be timid nor rush in. This is the essence of Chinese table tennis players playing key balls.
But for someone like Wang Chao who truly feels at peace, that's a bit too much, right...
Wang Chao's last ball was an unexpected high throw.
The ball was thrown very high, at least three meters above.
Hook was once known as the player with the highest throw of High-Toss Serve, but this throw of Wang Chao has surpassed the record once set by Hook.
At this moment, many viewers stood up simultaneously.
They all watched helplessly as Wang Chao was "violently beaten" by Luo Jiu for two games, and they were all waiting for Wang Chao's counterattack. At this time, this high throw was obviously full of extraordinary meaning, making them involuntarily excited.
They are all guessing what kind of trump card Wang Chao has.
But they don't understand why they have to take it out at 4:10 when they clearly have a trump card. Don't you know that you can't recover it at all in this situation?
The ball fell from a very high place, and Wang Chao turned his wrist over so that the rubber was facing upwards. It was obvious that he was going to serve with a backhand posture.
Luo Jiu stared at Wang Chao's hand holding the racket, wanting to see every detail of Wang Chao's movements.
He saw that Wang Chao's wrist made a very subtle reverse shaking motion just before the racket was about to contact the ball. Then the ball separated from the racket surface as soon as it touched, flying fast and urgently.
This is a fast backspin ball that goes straight to the baseline.
Many people think that the backspin ball must not be fast. This is actually a misunderstanding. In fact, no matter it is topspin or backspin, as long as the racket exerts enough forward force on the ball, it can become faster. The direction of rotation itself does not have an absolutely strict correspondence with the speed of the ball flying forward.
If the ball is thrown high enough, the gravitational potential energy converted into it will be enough. Although Wang Chao only knocked the racket forward very briefly, the ball still turned sharply and quickly, and arrived in front of Luo Jiu in just a flash.
Luo Jiu chose to rub the ball cautiously, but he not only cut the ball down, but also pulled it sideways with the racket.
Although Wang Chao's movements were subtle and subtle enough, he still judged that the ball had a strong right spin in addition to backspin.
But the ball flew over and still didn't land where he thought it would, but farther to the right.
This shows that his judgment of the power and spin of the ball is quite biased. Fortunately, the judgment is generally correct, so he did not directly lose points by eating the ball.
Wang Chao rushed directly.
Luo Jiu blocks firmly.
Wang Chao Another big angle change of line and explosive charge.
Luo Jiu is still blocked.
Wang Chao quickly stepped forward, changed the line at a large angle again, and hit a straight ball in the table.
The ball was very fast and went straight into the bottom line of the Luo Jiu right-hand table.
Luo Jiu can actually catch up with the ball, but it may be a little embarrassing.
But he didn't move, but watched the ball fly off the stage.
5:10, Wang Chao recovered one point.
The crowd was cheering as they finally saw the "weak" fight back.
The players on both sides of the table were in very subtle moods. Their eyes met again inadvertently, but this time they did not look at each other and smile, but moved away with ulterior motives.
Wang Chao serves again, still a super high throw.
Luo Jiu is still staring at Wang Chao's movements.
He saw that Wang Chao actually changed the side of the racket at the last moment of hitting the ball, followed by a very standard fast Bullet Serve, which went straight to his chest.
A Sneak Long Serve chasing ball - this is what most people see.
But Luo Jiu still noticed the small diagonal displacement when the racket separated from the ball at the last moment of Wang Chao's serve.
He knew that the ball still had a little side spin, so when he chose to attack sideways, the direction of the racket swing also changed slightly, which was enough to offset the slight turn of the ball in the air.
But he still couldn't get the ball to where he wanted it to be.
He hoped to hit the ball to the center baseline of the table at Wang Chao, but the ball flew to the baseline to the right.
This is because the properties of the rubber on the back of the racket used by Wang Chao are different from those on the front, which also makes the judgment of Luo Jiu more difficult.
Luo Jiu's pull of the ball was actually very hasty. Although it seemed that he was taking the initiative to attack, the ball was thrown too high when Wang Chao served, flew too fast, and the judgment of the spin was very complicated. Therefore, Luo Jiu's attack was more like a desperation choice, just to return the ball safely. Therefore, the quality was average.
So Wang Chao takes a good posture, uses enough strength, pulls hard with the backhand, and mainly responds to the guest.
Luo Jiu blocked.
Wang Chao explodes forehand and adds a change line.
Luo Jiu blocked.
Wang Chao didn't retract his arm at all, he just slashed forward, making a very casual side cut. The ball was rubbed hard on the side by the rubber, and it spun so much that it made people's scalp numb. However, the speed was not very fast. It flew past and landed at a wide angle on the left side of the table near the point.
This ball needs to be rescued by Luo Jiu around the stage. It is very difficult because it is really floating and the rotation is extremely strong.
But with Luo Jiu's movement speed and ability to control the ball, it is completely possible to save him.
But he refused to save it and stood directly behind the table watching the ball fly out.
6:10.
Luo Jiu gets the right to serve.
As if by mistake, the eyes of the two brothers met again, and both of them lowered their heads at the same time, avoiding each other.
Because he lowered his head, the audience did not see Wang Chao frown slightly at the moment he lowered his head, nor did they see a teasing smile flash across Luo Jiu's eyes at that moment.
They didn't understand the last two balls.
Fortunately, Qin Huachang can explain it to you.
"Luo Jiu is also a smart person. Wang Chao, this little silver coin, must have been tricked after all." Qin Huachang smiled happily, "He also wanted to put more pressure on Luo Jiu, but Luo Jiu took advantage of him, hahaha."
At 4:10 of the first game, Luo Jiu's heart beat violently.
At 4:10 of the second game, Luo Jiu also couldn't help his heartbeat.
He does have mood swings, but that doesn't mean Wang Chao can unscrupulously stir up his emotions and force him to increase his concentration.
On the contrary, the moment Wang Chao threw the ball, Luo Jiu understood Wang Chao's intention.
"It's already 4:10, are you trying to counterattack? You've been behaved throughout the whole game, and now you suddenly make a strange move. It's clear that you want to scare me at the last moment. Did you get the benefit of the last game?"
"But you forgot, I'm so far ahead, I can play a few balls with you first."
"Although the coach has taught us to pay attention to every point since we were young, in this situation, if you have made it clear that you are playing tricks on me, I can still be a little bolder. After all, I really have more chips than you. You are not afraid. What am I afraid of? Why should I be worried and nervous?"
"Come on then. I'll give you the four-ball indicator. Just show it off and let me see what kind of medicine you're selling in your gourd."
This is what Luo Jiu was thinking at the time.
Next he began to observe Wang Chao.
Of course, he took the ball seriously, and his subsequent response was no problem. For two consecutive balls, Wang Chao found an opportunity to hit the board. Although he could save the ball, he realized that even if he saved it, he would be extremely passive. When both sides are equally powerful, this level of passivity is no different from losing points.
So he simply didn't catch it, conserving his physical strength, not bothering to think too much, and conserving his brain power. He quietly watched how Wang Chao would hit the next ball.
From the two points he lost, he actually understood some clues of Wang Chao's style of play.
"In fact, it's not complicated. Wang Chao's high toss is not about playing tricks. He just wants to use high toss to improve the quality of his serve. In addition, he is not familiar with this racket Luo Jiu. Therefore, when all aspects of the high toss handicap index become higher, Luo Jiu's judgment will not be accurate enough. It is normal."
Qin Huachang explained, "Wang Chao tried to use both sides of the racket and served two different balls to test the error of Luo Jiu's catching. This is to catch by serving in the next game. Luo Jiu's flaw is actually the tactic he will use in the next round, but in order to scare Luo Jiu in this round, continue to put pressure on Luo Jiu, and consume Luo Jiu's attention, he exposed this trick in advance."
"However, everything has two sides. When he failed to scare Luo Jiu, he suffered a big loss because Luo Jiu spied on his subsequent moves in advance. Then Luo Jiu could take advantage of the break to think of ways to deal with him in advance."
"Luo Jiu probably wants to see more, but Wang Chao probably refuses."
When Qin Huachang said this, he saw Luo Jiu serving a ball, and then Wang Chao didn't catch it, letting the ball fly out.
This scene is just as Qin Huachang guessed.
After the plan failed, Wang Chao would rather commit suicide than let Luo Jiu look at it again.
At 6:11, Luo Jiu won the second game.
