Wang Chao's opponent today is Zhu Shixian.
Speaking of which, this is also a point that disappoints the majority of fans, because Wang Chao's opponent is too weak.
Zhu Shixian is ranked 16th in the world. Naturally, he cannot be considered a rookie. Although he has not entered the semi-finals this year, he has never fallen out of the top 16, and his attendance rate is good. At the age of 28, he can be so diligent, and he has the reputation of "World's Number One Chopper". Logically speaking, he is not qualified to be a background board anyway.
But the problem is that Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong fought too hard today, and it was the new generation of super geniuses like Morad and Zhang Benkuang that were destroyed. As a result, Zhu Shixian, as a remnant of the previous generation, is a bit disgusting to the fans.
If Zhu Shixian were a European player, then according to the emotional tendencies of the Mexican fans, there might still be some sympathy points. However, Kimchi Country's international reputation and character have never been very good, so when he appeared on the stage, he was greeted with boos.
This boo was because he wasted this much-anticipated game and was not qualified to be a perfect punching bag for Wang Chao.
Old Zhu is still self-restrained. Even though he wants to vomit blood in his heart, he still maintains calm on the surface, and even has a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
He thought very well. In today's situation, he shouldn't think about winning. He himself knew that the gap was huge, but he could delay it.
As a chipper, regardless of victory or defeat, even if he is beaten 4-0 today, even if every game is an 11-0 bald game, he is still confident that it will last half an hour. After all, we chippers are patient, but there are many rounds, and it is grinding, and Wang Chao is weak. Even if his continuous attacks are good, but there is no final word, there is no such thing as a "violent beating".
Look at Morad, was he beaten to death by Luo Jiu while he was screaming and pressing his head?
If you look at Zhang Benkuang again, is he beaten four times by 11:1 by Dragon Team? What is the difference between this and a bald head?
What I am facing now are people who together with Sun Tianlong Luo Jiu are known as the three giants of the new generation of Chinese table tennis. I can handle it better than any of you. What else am I not satisfied with?
This game will be my famous game. Through comparison, I will be faintly superior to Morad and Zhang Benkuang, and become the well-deserved No. 1 Men's Singles among Asian countries besides China Table Tennis, the uncrowned king, Oye.
With such a beautiful vision, Zhu Shixian successfully guessed the coin and won the right to serve, which once again aroused laughter from the audience.
His mood was very calm, because God was fair today, and he should be the favored one.
He fired a long backspin.
This serve is also very particular.
As we all know, Wang Chao is now one of the giants in the world with short backspin serves and short turrets. Zhu Shixian, as World's Number One Chopper, is said to have unparalleled chipping skills in the world, but in fact these words are just to bluff laymen. The fact is that he couldn't even beat the newly debuted Wang Chao in T2 last year. Now that the two sides meet again, Wang Chao has completed countless super evolutions. In this case, if he dares to send a short backspin, that is really a lack of progress and a lack of ambition.
The advantage of long backspin is that it is not so convenient for the opponent to swing short. The disadvantage is that if the opponent is violent enough, he can directly back off the table to pull the ball and forcefully attack.
Zhu Shixian is not afraid of Wang Chao's attack because he feels that Wang Chao is not strong enough.
However, the ball was sent over, and Wang Chao slapped it over without saying anything.
The sticky racket is very convenient to carry the ball, but it is also easy to cause ball-holding violations. Wang Chao, as a detail-oriented person, is almost perfect at this point. The ball flies up as the racket and arm are thrown out. It is obvious that the spatial position of the ball is raised when it flies back in the opposite direction, but it happens to be stuck in that delicate and delicate range. It does not count as holding the ball, but it really takes advantage of the properties of the rubber to the extreme.
Zhu Shixian was directly beaten to death by this board.
1:0.
As the ball hit the ground, the audience booed again, and some people sighed loudly on purpose, which can be regarded as quite disturbing.
But Zhu Shixian thinks it's okay.
After all, he was older, and his concentration and reaction speed were not that fast. The main reason why he didn't catch the ball was because he didn't expect it at all, so he was caught off guard.
He served again, still with long backspin.
Wang Chao certainly doesn't tolerate him.
It doesn't matter if you turn up or down, as long as you show up, I will slap you.
This racket was already expected by Zhu Shixian. He took a half-step back steadily, but did not slice the ball. Instead, he chose to pull back, and he directly opened his posture, spread his legs, and made a fierce and full pull.
At the moment when he pulled back, he was still a little proud. What he was thinking was: Unexpectedly, I am not the kind of chipper who just defends and waits for death.
Yes, the reason why Zhu Shixian is called World's Number One Chopper and the reason why he can reach such a high ranking is because he is extremely aggressive. Although he belongs to the older generation of players in terms of age, his playing style is the most advanced chipping style.
He didn't expect to win Wang Chao, but he believed that at least his sudden counter-pull could surprise Wang Chao.
If you can make Wang Chao panic, you will be considered successful, and if you can really kill Wang Chao with one stroke, then it can be regarded as showing the fighting spirit of our Kimchi Country athletes.
However, with this pull, an anti-aircraft gun was pulled, and the ball shot directly into the sky.
Zhu Shixian was slightly stunned at this moment.
With his skills, he would not make stupid mistakes. There was only one reason why he missed the ball. He underestimated the power of the ball, whether it was forward momentum or rotation strength.
Has Wang Chao's physical fitness improved?
Zhu Shixian frowned and relaxed, shook his head, and laughed at himself. He felt that he was thinking too much.
After all, Wang Chao has been playing Super League throughout October and November, and he has been paying attention, including the last game between Spade Q and Shandong Province Power Club before Table Tennis Super League was closed. He has watched all of E's games. He dare not say that he has seen through Wang Chao's skills, but at least he has a good understanding of Wang Chao's attributes in terms of strength, physical fitness, speed, and explosive power.
Then Wang Chao served with short backspin, which made Zhu Shixian's brain hurt.
When you face an opponent who is better at serving and hitting the ball than you, sometimes you feel very helpless, because once you enter the opponent's serving round, you are basically waiting to die, and you can't find a point to counterattack at all.
This time it was the same. Wang Chao served and caused a short fight between the two sides. Then he naturally got an offensive opportunity and easily defeated Zhu Shixian with two boards.
Wang Chao served again, still with short backspin. The whole process was exactly the same as before. The only difference was that Zhu Shixian was not to be outdone. After Wang Chao successfully attacked, he chose to pull back again and went directly to the net.
The score soared to 4:0 in the shortest time.
It seemed that Wang Chao had an obvious advantage, and his fighting was crisp and clean, and his on-stage fighting was even more beautiful. However, the audience's applause was not enthusiastic.
The main thing is that this game is really incomparable to the previous games.
After eating spicy crayfish, eating boiled edamame in salt water was really a bit bland, even though they are actually good late-night snacks.
Zhu Shixian took back the right to serve. After careful consideration, he still chose to serve with long backspin.
He actually knew that he would lose, and he also thought about whether to just go all out and try all kinds of weird ways of playing, but in the end he gave up those other thoughts, because he clearly realized that if he wanted to save his face today, the only thing he could do was to last as many rounds as possible.
The four balls just played were too fast, and he was very dissatisfied. He had obviously planned to defend tightly, but when Wang Chao started to attack, he was always killed within one or two boards.
This is not right.
This is not consistent with the temperament of a chipper.
A qualified chipper should wait at least seven or eight rounds before being penetrated by the opponent.
Therefore, if you send long backspin, even if the opponent pulls the ball, you must consider the possibility of it hitting the net and not dare to use all your strength. This is the easiest way to lead the situation into a stalemate.
Wang Chao still attacks directly.
Zhu Shixian This time, he wasn't too fussy and focused on chipping the ball back.
But he was still a little dissatisfied, because he obviously wanted to cut the ball to the middle area of the opponent's backhand position, but it ended up hitting the backhand position at a wide angle.
It seems that this route is more tricky, but because it changes from the front to the side, the ball can be launched more easily.
Wang Chao really seized this opportunity to make an appearance and hit an extremely powerful backhand Pike-style backhand loop loop ball.
Zhu Shixian cut again, still staring at the center position, but the ball reached the baseline again.
Since it is the bottom line, it must be introduced again, so Wang Chao explodes with a forehand.
Zhu Shixian felt that the ball was very fierce. He took two steps back and chipped the ball back with his backhand.
Wang Chao explodes again.
Zhu Shixian took another step back and chipped the ball back.
At this time, he was already complaining secretly, because the two bursts of Wang Chao connected very quickly and almost did not need to take a breath in the middle. As a result, Zhu Shixian had already taken three steps back from the table and was already far away from the table. At this time, even a slightly smarter professional player knew that he could lob close to the ball, but it was difficult for him to run forward to save the ball in the shortest time.
This is waiting to die.
However, Wang Chao did not act smart, and instead hit the board again, heavier and more fierce than before. The ball speed was very fast, and it came to Zhu Shixian with a "pop", still with strong spin.
Zhu Shixian was surprised and delighted, and sliced the ball with his backhand again. However, he was almost losing his balance at this time. The ball was sliced so much that he lost control. Although it flew past, it was already quite high.
Zhu Shixian didn't panic. He thought he was going to die in the previous game. Now he just held on for one more round. No matter whether Wang Chao hung closer or played another line ball, he could be killed directly.
But Wang Chao neither changed the line nor moved closer, and made another explosive charge. It seemed to be heavier than before. The ball hit the right spot, bounced on the table, and reached Zhu Shixian again.
Zhu Shixian only felt that his hands and feet were stagnant. He had just cut such a violent three-board blast, and his technique had been deformed, but this ball was obviously more fierce than before. He subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but it was too late. He raised his hand in a hurry and tried to force the ball over, but as soon as the racket touched the ball, the ball flew directly out. It turned out that the ball also had a very hidden right spin.
5:0, Wang Chao scored another point.
This time, the audience started to cheer and applaud. Regardless of whether the technique is high or not, this continuous heavy hammering, like forging iron, is very enjoyable to watch.
Only Zhu Shixian's heart trembled slightly at this moment.
He realized something very scary: Wang Chao just... seemed to have hit four boards in a row?
As we all know, professional players have a lot of continuous attacks in the game, but very few continuous bursts. This is because bursting with force is very damaging to one's own balance, and it also requires high explosive power. In the past, Wang Chao, even if he charged with force, the single board was not very powerful. As for continuous bursts, he was not even as good as ordinary players.
Everyone says that professional players can explode with all their strength three times in a row, and then they will exhaust themselves and lose their balance.
But Wang Chao those four boards just now, each one is heavier than the last. By the last board, Zhu Shixian was clearly three steps away from the table, but the ball still arrived in front of him as soon as the sound was heard, and it was powerful, heavy, and spinning extremely strongly. This shows how much absolute power this board contains.
"Has he... really made up for his shortcomings?" Zhu Shixian was a little unbelievable.
Zhu Shixian Serve again, still long backspin.
Wang Chao pulls the ball.
Zhu Shixian Put it back.
Wang Chao pulls the ball again.
Zhu Shixian then cut it back.
Wang Chao explodes directly.
Zhu Shixian retreats from the table and slices the ball.
Wang Chao The second board exploded.
Zhu Shixian takes another step back to slice the ball.
Wang Chao The third board exploded.
Zhu Shixian took another step back to slice the ball.
At this time, the scene was already very beautiful. The audience applauded one after another, but Zhu Shixian in the field subconsciously focused his attention to an unprecedented height.
He wants to see if Wang Chao has a fourth board.
Because he knew very well that the three boards in front of Wang Chao had absolutely no force left behind, and they were really pushing forward with all their strength.
So whether there is a fourth plate or not, it is definitely a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and it is the last step in the cocoon turning into a butterfly.
Wang Chao started his hand, stepped forward, raised his arm, and with a crisp and loud "pop", the fourth board was thrown out without any tricks.
Zhu Shixian tried hard to chip the ball back, but the ball bounced diagonally off the rubber again.
6:0.
Zhu Shixian sighed.
He knew that if Wang Chao fought like this, he might not be able to hold it off any longer.
In fact, the game went very quickly.
The final score of the first game was 11:1. No one could tell whether Zhu Shixian desperately earned a point or Wang Chao deliberately gave up a point.
The final score of the second game was 11:3. Wang Chao still maintained a simple and fierce attack. He reversed the various routines and dazzling techniques of previous games. He only did two things from beginning to end in today's game, either swinging short or attacking.
Once you attack, you just force the forehand to charge continuously. There is no change of line at all, no combination of distance and distance, no big angle, no fake moves and strange rotation changes.
He seemed to suddenly become a reckless man.
The score in the third game was 11:4. It seemed that Zhu Shixian actually scored slightly higher in each game than the previous game, but in fact, judging from the specific scene, he was suppressed throughout the whole process. The increase in scores depended entirely on Wang Chao. If Wang Chao succeeds in attacking, he will score. If he commits suicide, he will lose points. It is as simple and crude as that.
So in the fourth game, Zhu Shixian collapsed.
He is older, and his fighting will is not strong, and he does not have the courage to fight. Slicers are born with flexibility in their toughness. When there is hope of winning, they are very capable, but when there is no hope at all, they are actually very fragile.
So Zhu Shixian was beaten 11:0 in the fourth game.
Wang Chao plays very naturally. This bald head looks like it is done casually, without any likes or dislikes.
This game is actually pretty good to watch, because Wang Chao explodes throughout the entire process, and Zhu Shixian shrinks throughout the process, so the game is like blacksmithing, one hammer after another, full of the charm of power and beauty.
However, the audience was not satisfied.
What they want to see should be much more beautiful, more magnificent, and more complicated than what they see in front of them.
If it is this kind of simple and crude knife-slashing match, oh, no, it should be that one side is slashing with a knife, and the other side is holding a shield and can only carry it but not attack. If it is this kind of match, why don't I watch Lin Li, Fan Xiaodong, and Sissifield fight? What are you Wang Chao doing?
You are not doing your job properly.
You are taking other people's jobs.
The most important thing is that Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong set such a good example, but this is what you came up with?
The audience cursed and left the field, but some insiders found the game to be quite thrilling.
In fact, Wang Chao is already very candid.
It was precisely because he saw Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu showing their trump cards that he was willing to show them.
And his trump card is his fully improved strength and explosive power.
This thing can only be displayed in the simplest and crudest way. If the technology is too fancy, the appearance will cover up the essence.
Therefore, Wang Chao's game is not actually played for the fans, but for Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong.
He is saying, "See clearly, you have made progress, and I have made progress. Now, we are still on the same level. It is still unclear who will win in the end."
Among them, Wang Chao actually shows another point that many people are not aware of: speed.
In this game, Wang Chao seems to move less, and has always been a two-footed explosive charge. But in fact, the more powerful and thorough the explosive charge is, the more stable the bottom plate is. And where does the stability of the bottom plate come from? It comes from the right stance.
You must move to the most correct place and find a new balance after standing still, so that you can use the power of your body and feet to maintain a stable posture after the explosion.
So Wang Chao is always moving, but he moves too fast, his steps are too broken, and too detailed. In addition, the opposite Zhu Shixian moves too much, so Wang Chao's speed display is completely ignored.
Everyone only saw Zhu Shixian saving the ball all over the field, but did not notice that Wang Chao has been making small adjustments.
Others can't see it, but Luo Jiu and Sun Tianlong can.
He Jingping and Cai Guodong can also be seen.
The big guys in the Huaping coaching staff can all see it.
Wang Chao has sped up.
It's a real, real speed-up.
In fact, all this has been revealed in the previous games.
During the team training before the Mixed Doubles, Wang Chao once tried to compete with Gao Mingyuan for speed.
In the mixed doubles final, Wang Chao has been competing with Lin Zijun for speed. Although he has never competed once, he can barely keep up.
Now, instead of saying that Wang Chao crushed Zhu Shixian in terms of explosive power and balance ability, it would be better to say that Wang Chao crushed Zhu Shixian in terms of speed.
Precisely because he has faster positioning and faster movement, he has enough time to constantly adjust himself to ensure that his balance is not lost during movement. Zhu Shixian, precisely because he was mobilized by Wang Chao, was exhausted and his pace was too slow, so he could not find a new balance at all. He was forced to move again and again, and his balance collapsed inch by inch, and he was finally penetrated through the defense line.
The multi-dimensional attributes of table tennis, speed, strength, explosive power, reaction, balance, various indicators are actually a very delicate balance. The improvement of any attribute will have a positive chain reaction on other attributes. However, Wang Chao has shown obvious signs of improvement in almost all basic attributes at this moment. So with this multi-faceted and complementary continuous advancement, how much will his overall combat effectiveness be improved? This question is actually a bit scary when you think about it.
So despite the fact that the audience thought Wang Chao was the worst performer today, in fact, what Wang Chao showed might actually be the scariest one.
To put it more mysteriously, this was a gift from the world to him after he reconciled with the world.
To put it bluntly, he figured it out and got rid of the pent-up obstacles in his heart, thus naturally breaking the bottleneck.
