An occasional contraction of the heart does not affect the state of Sun Tianlong.
In the fierce confrontation at the scene, he had no time to think about what the occasional pain meant.
He was completely focused on the game in front of him.
He has tried many methods, but nothing works, so he will keep trying.
This is actually his regular game mode. When he encounters any opponent, he rarely directly exerts force in the first game. Instead, he is more accustomed to defense and observation. During the game, he looks for possible loopholes in the opponent, then tries various techniques and observes the effects until he finds the best solution to the problem, and then combines these most suitable techniques into the most suitable system to defeat the opponent.
But in those games in the past, because he was too strong, he often gained an advantage as soon as he tried casually. However, he was not satisfied with this advantage, because what he really wanted to find was a completely matching style of play, rather than a basically reasonable style of play.
Give an example.
For example, if you want to peel an apple, you can use a kitchen knife, a plane, or your teeth. If your skills are good enough, you can use a bone chopper, but the best thing is of course a fruit knife.
Therefore, in many games that Sun Tianlong won, the key point of his attempts was not whether he could win the game, but whether he could find the best knife.
But calling Wang Chao today is a completely different situation.
Still using the example just now, Sun Tianlong wanted to peel an apple, but Wang Chao was not an ordinary apple, but a hard metal apple. So Sun Tianlong tried kitchen knives, fruit knives, scissors and even bone-chopping knives, but still could not break the skin of this apple.
Today he was not choosing the best tool, but simply couldn't find a tool that worked.
He could only keep trying.
Wang Chao serve, short backspin.
Sun Tianlong no longer chooses the conventional backspin solutions such as swinging the ball short or twisting the ball. Instead, he pushes the racket forward without rotating it and directly pushes the ball to the corner of Wang Chao's forehand position where the wide angle baseline is the most extreme.
With his ability to control the ball, he can indeed ensure that the ball will land at any precise point after giving up rotation.
This ball is extremely long, and the place where it hits the table is already at the edge of the table. Wang Chao has to take a step back even if he doesn't want to step back from the table.
But because the ball did not spin and was released, Wang Chao naturally pulled the ball forward with his forehand and launched a direct attack to hit Sun Tianlong's backhand position.
Sun Tianlong took a step back, turned his wrist, and used the back rubber of the racket to slash down hard. This is the standard catching action of a slicer. He sliced a very long and low backspin ball, and still hit the Wang Chao forehand baseline.
Wang Chao Pull again.
Sun Tianlong Cut again.
Wang Chao The third plate is pulled.
Sun Tianlong The third plate cutting.
Only then did the audience let out a low cry, realizing what Sun Tianlong wanted to do.
Sun Tianlong gave up attacking and turned directly into a chipper.
He has been playing offensive balls for more than ten years, but when he slices the ball now, he is actually very stable. Every ball he slices is low enough and rotates enough, and the three consecutive slices all land on the same spot accurately. This ability to control the ball is simply incredible.
He is not intentionally showing off to fans around the world, but he has actually unknowingly proved one thing: his chipping ability may not be inferior to Zhu Shixian, who is known as World's Number One Chopper.
Because when Zhu Shixian meets the current Wang Chao, he can only be beaten in a fancy way.
But Sun Tianlong at least felt that he could use his chipping skills to compete with Wang Chao.
Wang Chao The fourth plate is pulled.
Sun Tianlong The fourth plate cutting.
This is another kind of stalemate, a standard confrontation between an attacker and a slicer, but what is different from the confrontations fans have seen in the past is that Wang Chao's pull always lands on the Sun Tianlong backhand high-angle baseline, while Sun Tianlong's slice always lands on the Wang Chao forehand baseline at a high angle.
After eight rounds of fighting between the two sides, the ball actually only landed on two spots.
Wang Chao is not in a hurry.
The first element of chipping is to stay calm.
He pulls the ball with only seven points of force to ensure that his offense is continuous.
Of course, he can try to mobilize Sun Tianlong's forehand at a wide angle and try Sun Tianlong's running ability.
He can also suddenly exert force and change into a straight line. Try the instant response speed of Sun Tianlong.
But he didn't think it was necessary.
You must not take any chances when fighting someone like Sun Tianlong, because when you think he has made an omission, he must be just pretending to make an omission.
All opportunism is undesirable. The only thing worthy of trust and reliance is one's own hard power.
So pressing the backhand is the best tactic.
Wang Chao Pull out the fifth plate.
Sun Tianlong did not chip any more, because the chipping posture he just put on was a test in itself. He wanted to see if Wang Chao would be eager to win because of the advantage of the first three balls, and he unknowingly showed his anxiety.
Unfortunately, no, Wang Chao is still as stable as an old dog.
So Sun Tianlong moved sideways quickly. In an instant, his body had moved to the left side of the table, and he forced a forehand to pull the ball to Wang Chao's backhand baseline.
He knew that this was very risky, and he would definitely leave a big gap for his forehand, so he hit the ball in a straight line instead of diagonally. He wanted to force Wang Chao to move too, in order to buy himself some time.
But Wang Chao refused to move because he saw through Sun Tianlong's intentions, and because unlike Sun Tianlong, he had kills on both sides. This is the biggest advantage of the new generation players when facing the older generation players.
He just took a step laterally and then stopped, pulled hard with his backhand, and hit the ball back in the shortest time. The landing point was indeed Sun Tianlong's forehand baseline at a large angle. This was a real big gap.
Sun Tianlong was already running to the right. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he could only pounce on him. He was in the air and swung his arms fiercely. With a "pop", he successfully hit the ball to Wang Chao's side of the table in a completely unbalanced state.
But I really couldn't control the landing point. It landed right in the middle of the Wang Chao table, just off the forehand baseline, as if it was a piece of meat being fed to me.
Wang Chao did not hesitate and charged with all his strength.
Sun Tianlong landed on the ground, ran half a step to the left and then stopped. He could no longer catch up with the ball. At the critical moment, he could only change the racket from his right hand to his left hand. He didn't even have time to adjust the shape of the racket in his hand, and he stabbed the ball in the direction it was flying.
There was a lot of exclamation in the audience.
Everyone can naturally see that this is the most dangerous side cut close to the stage.
However, side cutting is an extremely double-edged sword technique, and in such an extremely hasty situation, the possibility of success is really almost zero.
Most people think that Sun Tianlong is the last struggle before death, which is equivalent to a drowning person grabbing a straw above his head. It is just instinct and meaningless.
Even people like He Jingping and Cai Guodong think so.
Only Wang Chao still maintains an extremely cautious attitude.
In these rounds, he has completely taken the initiative, so he can stand firmly at this time, with his feet spread out, his body squatting slightly, and his shoulders tight, ensuring that he is in a state to cope with any unexpected situation.
Under everyone's gaze, the ball collided with the Sun Tianlong racket, changed its line abruptly, and quickly plunged downwards. It hit the net, but did not fall directly because of the excessive rotation. Instead, it climbed to the top of the net while spinning crazily.
At this moment, some people in the audience were even screaming, with some broken voices, because if this ball could really crawl over and score, it would almost be regarded as the best super ball this whole year.
Of course, Wang Chao didn't allow this to happen. He quickly stepped forward, brought the racket up to meet him, and waited for the ball to hit the ground before launching a forehand challenge.
But the ball did not fall on the other side of the net, because the force given by Sun Tianlong just now was almost completely horizontal, so it had exhausted its longitudinal force after climbing to the top of the net. It started to roll forward in circles at the top of the net, like an acrobat riding a bicycle on a tightrope, until it rolled to the very edge of the net and fell from the side.
The whole court was silent for half a second before the referee reacted and blew the whistle to signal Wang Chao to score.
In an instant, the applause was overwhelming. This was the audience's tribute. There was no loser in this game, and the performance of both sides was absolutely beautiful.
Facts have proved that the feel of Sun Tianlong is indeed incredible. In such a hasty situation, with this almost suicidal side cut near the table, he still almost scored a super strike that is difficult to save.
But this attack was still too difficult after all. It was only a tiny bit short of success and still fell short.
3:1, Wang Chao opened the score again.
Sun Tianlong got the right to serve and sent a high throw to the baseline Bullet Serve.
Bullet Serve is the easiest to be directly attacked by the opponent, so he chooses to chase the ball.
Of course he knows that this little trick can't kill anyone. His only purpose is to force Wang Chao to move, so the ball is very long. It lands on the bottom line in the center of the table, only two inches away from hitting the ball.
Wang Chao can only move, take a step to the right, take a half step back, turn sideways and directly draw a forehand circle.
Sun Tianlong chose to take the initiative to take a step back, and also held hands.
Since it was determined that the speed was not as fast as Wang Chao, he chose to actively slow down by "forcing the opponent to retreat while retreating himself".
However, Wang Chao didn't give him a chance to slow down. After seeing Sun Tianlong's action, he gave up the fight. Instead, he took a step forward, pushed the racket up against him, and forced to speed up.
This is Lin Zijun's signature move.
Sun Tianlong has no choice but to take a step back, because after all, he does not have top speed, and there is no way for him to compete with perverts on the stage in terms of neurological reaction speed.
Sun Tianlong retreated from the platform and pulled back, while Wang Chao stayed close to the platform and charged forward with a forehand.
Sun Tianlong counterattacked, and Wang Chao pushed the racket forward again.
At this moment Sun Tianlong just felt a severe headache.
He found that he couldn't break this move.
When facing Lin Zijun, Sun Tianlong was actually not that afraid of Super Speed Defense Mode, because as long as he controlled his strength, Lin Zijun had nothing to rely on. And on the premise that both parties did not exert their strength, Lin Zijun was easily defeated by him in other technical aspects.
But when Wang Chao also used Lin Zijun's tricks, it looked disgusting, like he was playing rogue.
Because Wang Chao himself is very good at attacking. Not only does Great Python Turn have an almost invincible move, but his basic strength has been completely improved. Even a simple explosive charge without any tricks can exert huge power. Sun Tianlong cannot guarantee that he will be able to catch it.
Especially since Wang Chao kept suppressing his backhand, he was really able to suppress it. No matter what techniques, changes, or rhythm he used, he could not disrupt his plan.
So Sun Tianlong fell into an unsolvable contradictory situation. If he didn't exert his strength, it would be equivalent to being beaten by Wang Chao in vain. One day he would be beaten through.
He exerted his strength, and Wang Chao could quickly use his strength to counter a super-fast turning ball. He still couldn't block it and had no choice but to retreat.
But as soon as he retreats from the stage, he will fight against the near stage and the far stage. As we all know, this is a natural disadvantage in the situation. If Wang Chao suddenly hangs a close point after a multi-board burst, he will definitely die.
Of course, in theory, he could find an opportunity to return to the near stage from the far stage.
But don't forget, Wang Chao learned from He Jingping's Taiwan-wide attack system, which has the fastest attack rhythm in the world. Once it is launched, he can't find a chance to take a breath. Being able to hold on from a distance is already the limit, and returning to the front of the stage is like a dream.
This is a complete set of technical and tactical systems, and the prerequisites for its establishment are very demanding. It requires players to have the skills of Grandmaster level, the speed of Extreme Speed level, the strength to reach the passing line, the ball control ability of Microscopic Precision level, and so on.
So this is not a regular system, this is a special system for super geniuses.
Of course, there is no perfect system in the world, and there must be some small loopholes within this system, but at least for now, during the fierce competition, it is impossible for Sun Tianlong to analyze it.
So he was beaten to death again, the score became 4:1, and Wang Chao continued to lead.
Amidst the cheers that filled the sky, Zhu Zeshi coughed, leaned into He Jingping's ear and said, "Junior brother, do you think Wang Chao can win?"
He is leader of the Zhu Clan, who has "a thunderous chest and a flat lake". He has always appeared with a majestic attitude that shows no emotion or anger, but at this moment, his pretended to be calm voice contained some extremely subtle tremors.
He was really excited.
In a sense, he, like Qin Huachang, is a typical person with a "good name".
This is actually very reasonable, and only people with a good reputation would be so particular about their dignity and face, even when facing their son Zhu Ding, they would not be able to let go of their arrogance.
It's just that in the past many years, the Qin sect has suppressed the Zhu sect. Sun Tianlong is invincible in the world, and Xiao Fei is no match at all. Therefore, no matter how good the reputation is, Zhu Zeshi can only endure it and cannot compete with Qin Huachang.
And when Xiao Fei started to let himself go and became Buddha-like player, Zhu Zeshi was actually very desperate. He was so strong and famous all his life, but his disciples failed to live up to his expectations. Xiao Fei has no ambition, and Qiu Yinong is so stubborn that he was kicked out of the national team. When he was getting old, he tried to take over Lu Feiyang, but even the head coach thought he was not suitable.
He was crushed by Qin Huachang all his life, and he could not turn over until Qin Huachang retired due to illness.
He had always felt that if the Zhumen wanted to be glorious, it must have been created by himself, but he never expected that if there was no light in the east and light in the west, in the end it would be his junior brother who had always been unreliable and needed to worry about, and released two large satellites.
When Luo Jiu played against Sun Tianlong, Zhu Zeshi had strong expectations. However, Luo Jiu was finally destroyed like a melon and vegetables. At that time, when he saw Sun Tianlong's crazy appearance, Zhu Zeshi was heartbroken.
He came to watch the game today, and although he had expectations, he didn't have much hope. But he never expected that after five balls, he would actually achieve the score and the effect he has now.
From his perspective, he could certainly see that this was neither luck nor coincidence. What Wang Chao showed was an upright and upright strength, without any deviation.
This is a true royal showdown.
So Zhu Zeshi's heart is warmed up.
Although Wang Chao is his junior disciple's apprentice, so to speak, he is separated by one level, but in a big way, he is a disciple of the powerful sect after all. If Wang Chao can win today, he Zhu Zeshi will be equivalent to making up for the regrets of the past ten years and finally winning against the Qin sect.
Because he cared too much, Zhu Zeshi became unconfident and needed to ask He Jingping's opinion to make sure he was right.
He Jingping is a careless person in life, but he has a rare understanding of the senior brother he has been with day and night for many years. Just listening to Zhu Zeshi's voice, he guessed his inner thoughts. He turned around and smiled, "Senior brother, don't worry, this championship should be stable."
Zhu Zeshi felt relieved, but felt mixed feelings. He opened his mouth, and finally said "Ah", as if sighing, but there was no follow-up.
He just felt like a dream.
The first time Wang Chao came to Chinese Table Tennis training base was at the beginning of this year. This year's events were intensive and the tasks were heavy, so time passed quickly, and for Zhu Zeshi and For older people like Qin Huachang, time seems to flow faster than young people. So looking at the 18-year-old boy on the field, Zhu Zeshi felt as if he had just dozed off and the story had already reached its end.
It's really fast...
"Brother, don't forget, if Wang Chao wins today, he will get Grand Slam." He Jingping leaned into Zhu Zeshi's ear, with a hint of sigh in his tone, "From February to December, ten months, three hundred days, is this the fastest Grand Slam in the history of our Chinese table tennis?"
Zhu Zeshi opened his mouth again, and after a long time, he said, "He hasn't won yet."
He Jingping couldn't help but snicker, just like when he was criticized by his senior brother for his naughty behavior when he was young. He knew that Zhu Zeshi had taken a reassurance and felt at ease, so he couldn't help but start to put on airs. He laughed along and said, "Yes, yes, I know what senior brother means, don't be irritable, be calm, be generous, and don't be a villain, right?"
Zhu Zeshi looked calm and nodded. "We are all Chinese table tennis players. Whoever wins and who loses in the civil war is the same. As coaches, we should not be biased."
That's what he said, but after all, he was a little too happy today and couldn't hold it back. At the end of the sentence, the corners of his mouth turned up again, causing He Jingping to "puff" and quickly cover his mouth.
Zhu Zeshi coughed again, straightened his face, and began to watch the game seriously.
At this time, the score on the court has become 5:2. While the two brothers were chatting, both sides of the game had scored one point each.
On the court, Sun Tianlong once again changed his style of play.
He stopped trying to find a reasonable way to fight Wang Chao and started fighting randomly.
Yes, Nanta.
When Qin Huachang was sent to the hospital, no other anchor in the world could really explain the ongoing game, so for the fans around the world who were watching the live broadcast, the game had entered a state of disorder.
This is off the field.
In the court, as Wang Chao powerfully suppressed Sun Tianlong's backhand move, the only one with the strongest kill "Divine Dragon Emerging from Water", the rest of the game also entered a state of chaos and disorder.
Because Sun Tianlong started to fight without following the rules.
He was originally the most disciplined player in the world, and every move was always traceable. Every game he won in the past was reasonable and theoretically consistent with the mutual interdependence of techniques. That's why he is the only "textbook" recognized by the world.
The so-called textbook means that every game he plays can be used as a teaching material. No matter how many times you play it back, you will be amazed at how correct the choices he made at the right time are and how appropriate the techniques he used against the opponent were.
But today Sun Tianlong broke this rule himself.
Because he found that he could no longer reason with Wang Chao.
From the beginning to the present, he has taught Wang Chao a lot of things, such as how to play small balls on the table, how to receive side cuts, how to attack close to the table, and how to deal with the kill board.
There is nothing wrong with what he said, but his reasoning is consistent with the vast majority of professional players and is a typical universal theory.
But what Wang Chao told him was a different set of principles, a set of professional theories that only belonged to super geniuses.
You told me that you need to avoid the edge of the killing board, and you are certainly not wrong.
But I chose to suppress them hard when faced with the killing plan. Since I did it, of course I was not wrong.
It's just that my theory doesn't suit you.
Sun Tianlong can't beat Wang Chao, so he can only break the rules and start fighting hard. This is the so-called "beating Old Master to death with random punches".
Over the past many years, countless people have used the same method to play Sun Tianlong, "Old Master", but they have all failed.
Today, Sun Tianlong transformed into a random puncher and wanted to fight Wang Chao, the "Old Master" who had completed the logical and self-consistent tactical system at a higher level.
To put it in layman's terms, after he can't beat him no matter how hard he fights, he will fight for his life!
(Today is the first update. Although it is only the first update, there are 6k words, so it's okay. Haha, I don't need the monthly ticket for the time being. After all, I want to face the story. The plot after the Olympics will enter tomorrow, so I will take it slow and smooth it out. I hope you understand. By the way, if you have a book reader, remember to come back tomorrow to start killing.)
