Geng Shuai is the first man Wang Chao has ever met in his life who is more "beautiful" than himself.
Don't get me wrong, this refers specifically to the endurance of table tennis players on the court...
In the third game, Geng Shuai was basically in chaos. After serving two Sneak Long Serves and failing, he served Wang Chao and another Sneak Long Serve, and then finally managed to stabilize on the fourth ball, chasing the score to 1:3.
Wang Chao I feel like I'm playing more smoothly.
Half an hour ago, facing Geng Shuai, he was actually a little nervous because he knew it would be a "high-pressure ball."
But now, he has become accustomed to the high pressure of Geng Shuai and has become more comfortable, while the pressure given by Geng Shuai has been greatly reduced.
It was like the river embankment collapsed and plummeted for thousands of miles, so that Wang Chao felt that it was not like the ball was hit by the same person.
Geng Shuai served again, but this time he didn't Sneak Long Serve. He served a short backspin in an orderly manner, rubbed two boards with Wang Chao, and then charged directly sideways.
The ball did not pass the net, and he committed suicide and lost points. The score became 1:4.
Wang Chao was not happy about scoring, because he played the ball very well, and Geng Shuai obviously should not have taken off the board to attack. Instead of saying that he played well, it was better to say that the opponent was making low-level mistakes.
Geng Shuai served again. Before serving, Fan Xiaoxian couldn't help shouting again, "Geng Shuai, play steadily, don't be anxious, it would be great to have a stalemate like the first game."
But Geng Shuai sent another Sneak Long Serve.
This time I really cheated Wang Chao.
When Fan Xiaoxian was shouting, Geng Shuai obviously paused and listened. Then he even looked sideways at Fan Xiaoxian and nodded, indicating that he accepted her suggestion.
But then Geng Shuai actually sent Sneak Long Serve, which was too unexpected.
Good guy, you even lied to the leader...
Wang Chao The ball was caught in an extremely hasty manner. It was almost at the last moment that he had time to move away and lift the racket, without even adjusting the angle of the racket.
But his touch was really incredible. The moment the ball touched the racket, he managed to capture the extremely small changes in force on the ball and roughly figured out the direction and intensity of the ball's rotation.
Fortunately...Geng Shuai's ball still lacks rotation as usual, and the difficulty of catching the ball is relatively reduced, giving him this opportunity.
These things may sound slow, but in fact it only takes a moment. Wang Chao pressed his wrist down almost reflexively, tightly pressing the ball to prevent it from turning into an anti-aircraft gun.
So although the ball was already quite high when it flew over, it still landed at the far end of the table and did not go out of bounds.
Wang Chao Without any hesitation, his body quickly retreated as far as possible.
It is conceivable that such a long ball, which is high and has no mass, will definitely cause a terrifying explosion when it encounters a player with such natural power as Geng Shuai and a racket with excellent elasticity!
Although he was retreating, he had no confidence at all that he could catch the ball.
Geng Shuai As expected, he retreated, turned sideways, and turned around, assuming a standard charging posture, but then, there was a strange change in his eyes.
He looked at the ball that had flown above his head, waiting for it to fall, but what showed in his eyes at this moment was not excitement, but extremely vague fear.
Yes, he is afraid...
It was as if his bones were suddenly taken away from him, and the posture he had set completely collapsed. His fingers trembled slightly, and his confidence was completely lost in an instant. He took another half step back, actually put away his preparations for a charge, lowered the racket, and when the ball landed above his waist, he chose to lightly slice the board.
This is a long-distance slice, very flat, very floaty, and very spiny. The quality cannot be said to be bad, which fully demonstrates his good touch as a national player, but compared with the expected explosive charge, it is completely different.
Wang Chao immediately braked his body and began to run forward in the opposite direction. The effect of practicing turning back and running these days was reflected at this moment. He successfully met the chip, and without any hesitation, he rounded his arms and hit it hard!
Geng Shuai returned to normal and took the ball, Wang Chao drew again, Geng Shuai received it again, and finally, when Wang Chao drew the seventh board, it penetrated Geng Shuai.
The score became 5:1. This was the first time Wang Chao had a big lead today.
He held the table with both hands, gasping for air, and then made the internationally accepted pause gesture to Fan Xiaoxian.
The two and a half games were so intense that his body couldn't hold it any longer. The large-scale turnaround just now made his calves a little painful. He had to use the timeout to take a break.
But Fan Xiaoxian did not call a timeout.
After a slight hesitation, the beautiful lady coach walked directly to the table, looked at Wang Chao and said, "Let's end the game today."
Wang Chao was stunned.
Geng Shuai had a look of relief on his side, but because the competition was between two people, he did not agree directly, but turned his attention to Wang Chao.
I have to say that this big brother in the team is indeed quite good in character and temperament, and he also knows how to respect others.
Wang Chao nodded immediately. "I just happen to have no strength anymore. Even if I want to fight, I can't fight, so let's stop here."
The battle for the number one player in the team ended in an anticlimactic manner. Wang Chao did not hypocritically admit that he had lost, and Geng Shuai would not shamelessly say that he had won. Only the two newcomers, Gao Ming and Tian Zhengguang, were confused and did not know what was going on.
Lu Jia obviously understands something, but he is Pixiu, and he won't utter even a single word of what he shouldn't say.
The situation is a bit delicate, but fortunately it does not affect everyone's unity.
It's just that Geng Shuai's attitude towards Wang Chao is more cordial, and it seems that Wang Chao has been vaguely mentioned from "little brother" to "peer" position.
So the real impact of this game is: Fan Xiaoxian suddenly burst into confidence and felt that her team could definitely compete in the playoffs. In this case, she refused to let the players train freely, but strongly intervened in the players' training plan from the next day.
She suggested that Wang Chao and Lu Jia should practice doubles because she hoped that Wang Chao could get two points in the game. To get two points, they can only win a singles and a doubles.
Why?
Because the only person in the team who is qualified to play two singles matches must be Geng Shuai.
Here we need to first learn about the competition rules of Table Tennis First Division.
The biggest difference between table tennis and basketball and football is that it has a magical "athlete classification system."
Each team member has a corresponding athlete level. Geng Shuai is the highest Special Class Athlete, followed by Class A Athlete and Class B Athlete. Theoretically, when athletes of different levels participate in the same game, the athlete with the highest level must be in the first team, the next-level player in the second team, and the lowest-level player in the third team.
Only players of the same level can be freely swapped.
This rule is fixed and cannot be changed.
The competition between clubs takes the form of a team competition. A total of three players have to play four singles games and one doubles game, a total of five BO5s, and the final score is calculated.
In total, each player played exactly twice.
One single can play two singles, and two singles and three singles can play one singles and one doubles.
Specific to Black Spade Q Club, the situation is rather strange. Geng Shuai is Special Class Athlete, Lu Jia is Class A Athlete, Wang Chao, Tian Zhengguang and Gao Ming are Class B Athlete. The dividing line is clear.
So under normal circumstances, Wang Chao can only be three orders.
Even if Geng Shuai does not play, the first single is Lu Jia, and Wang Chao can only play the second single, but still cannot play two singles.
Unless Geng Shuai and Lu Jia don't play, Wang Chao can play a single. But the problem is that the only two rookies behind him are Tian Zhengguang and Gao Ming. For the time being, these two people have no ability to score points in the professional arena.
Therefore, the ideal victory model in Fan Xiaoxian's mind is that Geng Shuai and Wang Chao each score one point in singles, so there are two points.
The third point is either obtained by the doubles of Wang Chao and Lu Jia, or by the singles of Lu Jia.
In comparison, the doubles team with Wang Chao joining will naturally have a better chance.
So with only seven days left before the start of the new season, Wang Chao officially started practicing doubles.
