Wang Chao explodes directly.

Lin Zijun still chose to retaliate, but he kept an eye on it, tried to slow down a little bit, and also forcibly changed the direction.

He wanted to break Wang Chao's prediction - if it was a prediction, then Wang Chao couldn't even guess which direction he would change.

But Wang Chao knocked the ball back again.

Even though it was the third time today, the audience still said "wow" because this scene was so scary.

It's not that the scene is beautiful, after all, no one can see the ball clearly.

But the meaning of this confrontation is too rich, which means that Wang Chao has quietly mastered a technique that can fundamentally and perfectly restrain Super Speed Defense Mode like Lin Zijun. This technique appears for the first time in the world. If it can be popularized, then this means that Lin Zijun will be knocked directly from the top of the world table tennis to the bottom.

After all, Lin Zijun only has this one trick.

Lin Zijun can only continue to retreat.

His nervous reaction could keep up with the ball, but his body couldn't. He had to step back to deal with the ball, which had accelerated to the limit after two hard hits.

The only good thing is that the ball in this state does not rotate, so as the depth of the space increases, the speed of the ball decreases to a greater extent.

Lin Zijun took two steps back and made a forehand loop. The situation was exactly the same as in the first game.

Wang Chao exploded again.

Lin Zijun did not choose to continue the hard fight. He took two steps forward, stood close to the table, and simply blocked the ball back without actively applying force.

Wang Chao exploded again.

Lin Zijun blocks again.

Wang Chao exploded for the third time.

Lin Zijun blocked.

Wang Chao exploded for the fourth time.

Lin Zijun is still blocked.

The cheers of the audience became louder again, and they counted "one, two, three, four" with some unfinished meaning, wishing that Wang Chao could explode infinitely.

But Wang Chao did only have four boards, and then he chose to play a short ball inside the table.

Lin Zijun swings back.

Wang Chao again.

Lin Zijun swings back again.

Until now, Wang Chao actually still has the absolute initiative, because as we all know, Lin Zijun can't beat Wang Chao in terms of shortcomings on the stage.

But Lin Zijun breathed a sigh of relief.

He still didn't know how Wang Chao defended himself, but he discovered at least one thing: Wang Chao's technique was not as scary as he thought.

After all, in essence, the move Wang Chao is very similar to my own Super Speed Defense Mode. It is also a borrowing force. So, as long as I don't use my strength, you can't borrow it.

That's what happened just now. When Lin Zijun chose not to use force and simply blocked, all Wang Chao could choose was still to charge forward.

Lin Zijun could feel that Wang Chao's power had been greatly improved. The ball banged on his racket, but he was not afraid of brute force. As long as Wang Chao didn't mess up, pure brute force, even if it reached the level of Hook, would not be enough to defeat himself with Super Speed.

So, at least it's stable.

At least he wasn't fundamentally defeated.

The two sides fought for six short rounds, Lin Zijun returned the ball high, and Wang Chao chose to hit the forehand on the table.

Lin Zijun activated instantly and responded strongly.

Wang Chao pushed the racket out at the same time.

There were two more "pops", and Lin Zijun quickly retreated, bringing back a small ball that had just emerged from the high speed.

He no longer chose the forehand position to loop the ball, because now he could finally be sure that Wang Chao had really broken himself.

He couldn't understand.

But now he has no time to complain about "unreasonableness", and no time to think about "why". The only thing he can do is to choose to accept it first, and then find a solution.

The only way is not to exert force, which is also the only way for all other players in the world to play Lin Zijun.

Therefore, in a sense, Wang Chao now belongs to the category of "repaying the other person with his own way."

The audience watched in horror. At this moment, they saw that Lin Zijun was forced to move quickly and did not even dare to attack. Suddenly, they burst into thunderous applause, mixed with all kinds of exclamations.

No one could figure out what was going on.

Swedish head coach Persson can't do it.

Swedish Ping Pong Soul Old Wa cannot.

German head coach Rohlskov can't do it.

European King Bayer No.

Not even He Jingping, Cai Guodong, Wang Lu.

Not even Qin Huachang, who took out his phone from under the covers again and continued watching the live broadcast secretly.

The game temporarily entered an extremely strange mode.

Lin Zijun no longer takes the initiative or relies on his own strength, he chooses to defend.

Wang Chao let go of his hands and feet and started to attack, but no matter his explosive charge, the continuous large-angle movements of his left and right hands, or even the various real and fake movements and forward and reverse rotations he performed, none of them could kill Lin Zijun.

Lin Zijun still has the best movement speed and reaction speed in the world. This means that no matter how fierce the charge is, Lin Zijun will have enough time to make a judgment and then block it steadily. The most troublesome left and right angle movements for ordinary professional players are just a matter of running a few more steps for Lin Zijun. He can run completely.

As for Wang Chao's fake movements and rotations, it can indeed cause some trouble to Lin Zijun, but to be honest, it is not a big trouble, because Wang Chao has been using superconductors for a few months. The moves that seemed new at the time have now been analyzed by professional players around the world. With Lin Zijun's talent, he can naturally make judgments with high enough accuracy.

The score began to rise steadily, from the initial 2:0 to 10:8.

Wang Chao is still in the lead, and the scene is still beautiful. For the audience, it is a hearty battle, but for insiders, it is a bit boring because there is not much that makes people shine.

Only He Jingping is different from other insiders. He is not in the mood to analyze techniques and tactics, or look at all the details of both sides of the game. He is wholeheartedly looking for clues in Wang Chao's every move, trying to find evidence that Wang Chao concedes the ball.

But he can't find it...

Wang Chao played very seriously and worked very hard, basically leaving no energy behind. If there was any problem with his playing, it was probably because he was not smart enough. He had been relying on physical strength, speed, explosive power and skills to go head-to-head with Lin Zijun, which made the game look fierce but not spiritual.

So He Jingping couldn't help but think, "Did he play like this on purpose? Did he want to quietly consume his energy in this way, and finally lose because of lack of energy? How should I wake him up? Should I call a timeout? Is it too early? Is the intention too obvious? Does it appear that I am too sensitive?"

Then he thought, "Maybe I am really sensitive? How could such a smart person lose in such a clumsy way? There must be details that I didn't see. Was he planning to lose from the beginning, or was he planning to win two games before losing? What's more, he clearly wanted to get the ball but he still showed such a terrifying trick at the beginning. What was he planning for? People like him must have a purpose in doing things. I must first understand his purpose before I can understand his true plan.

At this time, the first game ended, Wang Chao won 11:8.

So He Jingping continued to think, "Why did he win the first game? Why did he win 11:8? If he was controlling the points, what special meaning does this score have? He seemed to have a relationship with Lin Zijun before he left the field just now Looking into each other's eyes, did he convey any information? Oh, by the way, does Lin Zijun know that he wants to give up the ball? Is it possible that they are colluding? Oh, no, Lin Zijun is a good kid and shouldn't accept this. It's such a disgraceful win. But... if you win this game and enter the final, a Olympic Games silver medal is really attractive. Maybe Lin Zijun can't resist the temptation? So what about Wang Chao? What are you trying to do? I really regret it. Really, I should have asked Xiaojiu first. If I understood Wang Chao's purpose, I wouldn't be so passive. But when I asked Xiaojiu, didn't I betray A Long?"

At this time the referee blew his whistle and the game started again.

The second game basically maintained the same situation as the first game. Wang Chao attacked in all kinds of ways, while Lin Zijun gritted his teeth and refused to fight back. The game fell into a stalemate again. It seemed that both sides had few other ways to break the game. The score also climbed up, from 1:1 all the way to 8:8. It was actually a very even game.

Lin Zijun also started to have ideas.

He knew in his heart that it was very easy for Wang Chao to win. He only needed to resort to that kind of rhythm-blocking style of play to destroy his own rhythm. In fact, Lin Zijun was defeated by Wang Chao in this way in July and had special training to try to overcome this style of play. But the problem is, this thing is real. Difficult, it is the most difficult skill in the table tennis world. Jiang Peirong helped him search all over Bay Island, but he couldn't find anyone who could hit this kind of ball. In the end, Jiang Peirong thought of a stupid way, and simply called two sparring partners, each playing at his own rhythm, to help Lin Zijun adapt.

However, the final effect was very average, because the cooperation between two people was naturally not as smooth as the connection between one person, and the attack intensity of the two sparring partners was not enough, and the speed was far different, so Lin Zijun could not feel the pressure at all. He could perfectly block all the attacks of the two people, not because he had adapted to this rhythm change, but because the opponent was too weak, and he had enough time and attention to forcefully switch on himself.

This makes no sense.

What he really needs is an instinct to catch the ball, to naturally keep up with the opponent's changing rhythm under high-intensity pressure.

So facing Wang Chao, Lin Zijun is actually very helpless, he really can't break it.

But Wang Chao has not come up with this method today. Why is this?

"Oh, I understand. He probably saw how exciting the semi-final match just now was, so he didn't want our game to be ugly. He wanted to play with me for a while longer."

"He is taking care of my face."

"Obviously he can defeat me easily, even if he beats me bald, it may not be impossible. If we really want to kill him, he could kill me more exaggeratedly than Sun Tianlong kills Luo Jiu, but he chose to keep the score very close to me."

"The torture game is certainly exciting, but the stalemate game is also another kind of excitement."

"It's just that by fighting like this, Wang Chao won't be able to talk about gathering momentum. On the contrary, because he takes care of me, he will lose part of his indomitable spirit."

"They are indeed good brothers."

Lin Zijun was very touched, so after playing ball, when he met Wang Chao's eyes, he took the initiative to express a kind smile, which meant "I understand your feelings, thank you, because you have warmth for the four seasons."

But this smile was seen by He Jingping...

"There is indeed a problem."

"They should be colluding."

"Okay, Wang Chao, you kid is eating everything up. Although I don't know why you gave up the ball, even though the champion is definitely our Huaping team, but I'm really angry."

"I have to go crazy. It's not acting, it's real."

He Jingping worked hard to brew up his anger and focused more on the game.

He swore that as soon as he saw the slightest detail that Wang Chao deliberately let off steam, he would scream "pause" and then use one minute to severely criticize Wang Chao.

In order to achieve the enlightening effect and make Wang Chao completely give up the idea of giving up the ball, he should probably say something harsh, "If you dare to lose to Lin Zijun today, don't call me teacher in the future."

Old He, who was originally anxious, was finally mentally prepared at this moment.

Even Cai Guodong felt a faint murderous aura coming from in front of him.

It can be said that everything is ready at this moment, all we need is the east wind.

However, Wang Chao 11:9 won the game in the end.

Although he didn't use the playing style against Lin Zijun, he played really seriously, without any omissions, and his performance was surprisingly stable. He Jingping, who was so ambitious and fierce, still didn't find a chance to get angry, and could only continue to maintain the fighting state.

So during the break, He Jingping couldn't help but test it out. "Wang Chao, you're having a hard time playing today."

Wang Chao smiled, wiped his sweat, and explained calmly, "Teacher, I just want to try something new."

He Jingping said "Oh" meaningfully, and patted his shoulder. "Come on, speed up when it's time to speed up, don't hit the back until you run out of energy and get overturned."

This is the way to block Wang Chao first. If Wang Chao wants to use physical strength to argue, then this road will not work now. Regarding his own words of advice, He Jingping thinks it is very essential. It is a famous scene that he has rarely used in his mental calculations over the years of his coaching career.

It's a pity that no one appreciates it. The only one who can hear him speak is Old Cai, who is playing with his mobile phone behind him.

The third game started quickly.

It was a stalemate situation as always, and the score climbed as always. In the end, Wang Chao won 11:7.

Old He is still in fighting condition, but his momentum is a little slack and he is a little tired from waiting.

He did not relax his vigilance, because he always remembered the evil smile Lin Zijun gave Wang Chao in the second game. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have a slightly crooked mouth. It must be a smile with a story.

At the beginning of the fourth game, He Jingping also raised his attention to the highest level. After all, if Wang Chao wins again in this game, the game will be over. Therefore, if the ball is to be given, it is this one.

The score continues to rise.

1:1.

2:2.

3:3.

4:4.

5:5.

10:10.

He Jingping took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

The first three games did not reach 10 draws. It was just a stalemate in the front. Later Wang Chao would always use various means to open up the score. But now in the key game, it was 10 draws.

There must be something wrong with this.

He Jingping didn't know that Qin Huachang on the other side, thousands of miles away, was also very nervous at this moment.
