It was Wang Chao's turn to serve, and he also served a short backspin, but this ball had a very subtle fake action. It looked like his wrist was shaking violently and the spin was super strong, but in fact it didn't spin.
He wanted to test the eyesight of the national players.
He believes that there must be a problem because Geng Shuai has been away from the national table tennis team for seven years and has not been called up again. Although he doesn't know where the problem is yet, he can try slowly.
A good player should find out all the details of the opponent as soon as possible in the short process of the game.
Facing Wang Chao's test, Geng Shuai didn't give him any face. He directly stepped forward and beat Wang Chao to death with one stroke.
"Don't use this method." Geng Shuai smiled across from Wang Chao: "I have fought too many opponents, and you can't fool me with your fake moves."
Wang Chao naturally would not be intimidated by such a simple psychological tactic. He thought for a moment and sent a high throw. It was still a fake move. The ball was extremely fast and landed directly on the bottom line of Geng Shuai's backhand triangle.
It was both a high throw and Sneak Long Serve, but it still didn't spin. Wang Chao wanted to see if Geng Shuai could judge his own spin in the shortest time when the ball was moving so fast.
It turns out... he can.
Geng Shuai stepped back, turned his waist, waved his arms, dunked hard, and directly killed Wang Chao with another explosive charge.
He is extremely powerful, and when Wang Chao is given a chance, there is no way he can stop this explosive charge.
Wang Chao has worked very hard, his reaction speed can keep up, and his eyes can catch the trajectory of the ball, but his body is still too slow to keep up with his thoughts.
This is still a fitness issue and can be solved, but it will take time.
"Look, I told you not to serve this kind of ball." Geng Shuai smiled and said, "Now it's my turn to serve again."
The first game was chaotic. Although it was just a discussion game, Wang Chao tried various methods. He didn't even serve the same ball in the whole game, while Geng Shuai's side was the same short backspin. When fifteen minutes passed, the first game ended, and the score was fixed at 7:11.
Wang Chao lost.
All of his serves were ineffective, including his invincible chop serve in the city team's base, which also caused him to suffer many Geng Shuai bursts.
On the contrary, when Geng Shuai is serving, Wang Chao can always use his more delicate small ball skills on the table to seize the opportunity and play his most powerful attacking rhythm.
Facts have proved that even the national players cannot perfectly defend against Wang Chao's crazy attack near the stage.
But once the stalemate enters the COSCO stage, Wang Chao will be defeated again.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, the score of the first game should not be 7:11, but should be 3:11 or 4:11 which is more reasonable.
It was also from this game that Wang Chao finally got a glimpse of the problem with Geng Shuai.
He found that in some very strange places, Geng Shuai would occasionally "power out".
For example, Geng Shuai will directly choose to give up some balls that can be saved completely.
There are also times when Geng Shuai is obviously moving, but suddenly stops halfway.
Another time, facing an obviously high ball, Geng Shuai took a step back but did not dare to rush. As if he suddenly gave up, he waited for the ball to fall and slightly chipped the board. As a result, Wang Chao seized the opportunity and counterattacked to score.
This is by no means Geng Shuai showing mercy.
This is very abnormal.
He suddenly thought of what Lu Jia said when he entered the training hall on his first day, "Brother Geng's condition has been unstable for a long time..."
Wang Chao decided to give it another try.
The second game started quickly.
Wang Chao still fights fiercely, choosing to fight whenever there is more than a fifty percent chance. He wants to exert enough pressure to stimulate Geng Shuai's fighting spirit.
He succeeded.
In the middle of the second game, the score was 5:7, and Wang Chao was two points behind.
He was already sweating profusely. Although he had only played for twenty minutes, he felt more strenuous than playing for two hours at the city team base. Even Gao Ming stared wide-eyed on the sidelines, wondering why Wang Chao had to play in such a physically demanding way.
Geng Shuai's side wasn't much better. He had been in the club for too long and was too familiar with the place, so he didn't have many taboos. He took off his clothes on the spot and continued to fight Wang Chao with his upper body naked.
Fan Xiaoxian didn't even blink. It was obvious that this scene had been commonplace for a long time.
So another ten minutes passed, and the second game ended. The score was 11:9, and Wang Chao was defeated again.
But Wang Chao's eyes became weird.
He found that Geng Shuai's "power outages" became more frequent.
In fact, Wang Chao didn't play as well in this round as the first round because he paid some attention to observing Geng Shuai's expression.
He found that every time the power was cut off, Geng Shuai's expression would become very painful, as if his body had suddenly suffered great harm, and sometimes his face would even twitch slightly.
But then the pained look on his face would quickly disappear, as if nothing had happened at all.
The whole process was so fast, it was like a face change in an instant.
This scene is even a bit scary if you think about it carefully. Find a guy who writes novels, and he can come up with a fantasy novel of at least two million words. The theme is probably about alien creatures inhabiting human brains, or multiple personalities competing for control of the body.
Wang Chao threw the ball to Geng Shuai and gasped. "In the third game, you serve."
Geng Shuai didn't answer. He held a snow-white towel in both hands and wrapped his head completely, as if he was extremely exhausted and took a deep breath.
Wang Chao's eyes were so sharp. At this moment, he could even clearly see that the fingertips of Geng Shuai covering his face were trembling slightly, just like the leapfrog reaction after being stimulated by micro-current.
After half a minute, Geng Shuai took off the towel and picked up the ball. "It's the third game."
When he said this, his tone was a little strange, but no one except Wang Chao noticed it.
Geng Shuai rarely sent a Sneak Long Serve, which was predicted in advance by Wang Chao and started directly. Attacking from all sides was beaten to death.
Then he sent another Sneak Long Serve, but was once again predicted in advance by Wang Chao and killed in a round of combination punches.
"Geng Shuai, don't be anxious, play slowly. Your physical strength can fully support it. Just practice basic skills. There is no need to take chances." Fan Xiaoxian couldn't help but remind him from the sidelines.
She has watched Geng Shuai play in the club for five years and knows Geng Shuai very well.
Once the resistance encountered is too tenacious, Geng Shuai will become very impatient, eager to win, eager to decide the outcome with one goal, and lose the patience to deal with the opponent.
She reminded her countless times, but with little effect. Unknowingly, five years later, Geng Shuai was still like this, and Fan Xiaoxian had actually given up. She believed that this should be a character flaw, a genetic problem, and probably could not be corrected in this life.
The coach who ran away last year also tried to transform Geng Shuai, but also failed.
Fortunately, Geng Shuai's hard power is still strong enough. The capital he earned seven years ago is still strong today. Even if he is impatient, he can still easily kill most of the players in the Table Tennis First Division team, so he can still score a point steadily in the official game.
But it is obvious that today's Wang Chao is by no means someone that Geng Shuai can easily kill.
Fan Xiaoxian's eyes were a little bright now. She had seen Wang Chao beat Lu Jia and others these days, and she already knew that Wang Chao was very strong. But until today, when she saw Wang Chao beat Geng Shuai, she didn't know how strong Wang Chao really was.
You know, Geng Shuai is a legendary figure with the reputation of "God of Openings" in Table Tennis First Division. He sits in Spade Q, is always the single, is always the first to play, and can always win the first game.
Even the invincible Great Demon King Zhu Ding from last year's championship team "Poseidon Club" is said to be invincible against Table Tennis First Division. He encountered Geng Shuai twice last year and was unable to steal the first game victory from Geng Shuai.
The way for Zhu Ding to defeat Geng Shuai is to patiently survive Geng Shuai's first game, wait for Geng Shuai to get anxious, and then turn defeat into victory.
So Zhu Ding met Geng Shuai twice last year, and both ended up winning 3:1.
"Wang Chao is so strong. If Geng Shuai's form can last longer, he will have a chance to reach the top three this year..." Fan Xiaoxian was both regretful and surprised.
What's surprising is that Wang Chao is so strong. He even managed to score 11:7 with Geng Shuai in the first game.
This score is already very impressive. You know, in many years of competition, countless players have been directly defeated by Geng Shuai in the first game.
What's more, today is a battle for the top spot in the team, and Geng Shuai is obviously much more serious than before.
In the second game, Wang Chao only lost two goals.
Fan Xiaoxian couldn't help but think of Zhu Ding.
She felt that Wang Chao would come back to win today, but it would be a 3:2 reversal, unlike Zhu Ding, which completed the reversal at 3:1.
"But who is that person named Zhu? It's almost a miracle that Wang Chao can play like this. The players my brother bought for one million this time can almost quadruple in price when placed in Table Tennis Super League. Moreover... he is still so young and has never even played in the league!"
"When he gets familiar with the atmosphere of a professional game, how strong should he be?"
"My old Fan family has made a lot of money!"
