The cricket ball Yang Chi was more powerful than He Luo. It landed on the bottom line of the table, then bounced high and flew far away.
Lu Jia is already waiting there.
He was panicking because he had never caught a ball so far away from the table.
He believed that he did not have enough strength to force the ball over, and he was also afraid that the ball would fall too fast and be missed by him. Therefore, in the flash of lightning, his personality helped him make a subconscious choice: seek stability.
He picked the ball up hard, not caring about the quality of the ball, he just wanted it to land safely on the opposite table.
Even so, he was only 30% sure.
The eyes of more than a thousand spectators followed the small silver ball upward at the same time, watching it fall from a very high place, and finally successfully landed on the table next to He Luo.
With a "bang" sound, the ball made a huge sound far exceeding its size.
The hearts of the audience also bounced again with the ball.
In the originally noisy venue, it was eerily quiet at this moment.
So many people heard Yang Chi shouting, "Beat him to death!"
Wang Chao quickly took seven steps back.
He was a little hesitant at first, because the ball returned by Lu Jia was really too high. He Luo can either rush or short the ball. Both options are not difficult.
But he had only one choice, either to retreat far away from the table to catch the opponent's rush, or to get close to the table to catch the short ball.
He was actually unable to make a judgment in a hurry, because this was no longer a question of vision or reasoning ability. This was a pure luck game of choice.
But Yang Chi's shout was equivalent to helping Wang Chao make a decision to a certain extent.
At a critical moment, people will subconsciously obey the will of someone stronger than themselves.
Yang Chi is undoubtedly stronger than He Luo, so after He Luo hears the cry of Yang Chi, there is at least a 90% chance that He Luo will choose to rush forward instead of swinging short.
Wang Chao made the right bet.
He Luo blasted hard, faster and stronger than the previous board.
However, the reason why the board just now worked was because it was full of suddenness, but now this board was unexpected by Wang Chao.
So Wang Chao quickly adjusted his stance, then tilted the racket, and slashed forward with his arms. The movement was extremely graceful, and he made a super long side cut.
He didn't choose to loop the ball.
It's not that he can't pull it up, but that he knows that if he really enters this remote defense mode, he and Lu Jia will be completely passive, and can only take turns to resist the violent rush of Yang Chi and He Luo.
In that situation, the only chance left is to wait for the opponent's offense to make a mistake.
Wang Chao himself had some confidence that he could hold on, but he was convinced that Lu Jia couldn't hold on.
So he would rather raise the difficulty to the extreme and forcefully counterattack.
He does all the risky things, taking the blame, difficult things, and the dirty work himself. This is his clear position in doubles: the auxiliary position.
This side cut is much more difficult than a loop shot.
After all, for this kind of long-distance arcing circle, as long as the angle is appropriate, the strength does not need to be too precise. The bigger the better.
But side cutting requires not only the correct angle, but also the correct height, and more importantly, the correct strength.
If the height is not high enough, it will fall off the net.
If the angle is wrong, the trajectory will be wrong.
If the intensity is wrong, it will either miss the net or fly directly out of bounds.
This requires an unparalleled delicate touch.
After cutting out the ball, Wang Chao stopped running because he knew that no matter whether the ball was successful or failed, there would be no next round.
The ball drew a wonderful arc in the horizontal direction. It was so turbulent when it came and so calm when it went away. This transformation from extreme movement to extreme silence made many spectators in the stands subconsciously say "Wow".
The ball flew through the void, flew up to the table, flew over the net, lightly rubbed against the top of the net, and the trajectory changed slightly. It continued to fly forward, until it flew to the edge of the opposite table. It looked like it was about to go out of bounds, but in the end the ball slightly touched the edge of the table, and the trajectory changed slightly again. It plunged down and landed on the rubber floor covering the court, making a "pop" sound, subtle and crisp.
Wipe the net first, then the edge. This is a magical ball that cannot be caught from a theoretical level.
Super ball!
"The score of the third game is 11:0, the big score of the third game is 3:0, Black Spade Q Club wins." The referee announced the final score loudly.
There was a sudden silence in the audience, and then there was the warmest applause since the opening.
This is the applause given to the away team by the home audience.
In a game between League A, the lowest level in the Chinese table tennis world, and a match between two mid-to-lower teams from last year, these spectators never expected to see a super ball that usually only appears in international competitions.
Wang Chao's ball truly conquered the Jianglong Stadium thousands of miles away, as well as the more than a thousand Nanjing City fans sitting here.
The expressions on the faces of Yang Chi and He Luo when they came off the field could no longer be described as gloomy, so much so that when the two sides shook hands after the game, they just lightly rubbed their fists against each other, and no one really felt like holding their hands together.
Osmanthus Fragrance Club suffered such a heavy blow that the fourth game was slower than usual. It took a full fifteen minutes before the referee announced the opponent.
Geng Shuai vs Yoshikawa Hiroshi.
Wang Chao and Lu Jia were sitting side by side on the contestants' bench. One was drinking a sports drink and the other was eating a banana. They were both in great moods because Fan Xiaoxian had just said that if he shaves his head well, he will be rewarded heavily when he returns home.
As for Osmanthus Fragrance, the coach's face looked a little ugly.
In the game of prediction and counter-prediction, they lost. Yoshikawa Hiroshi did not catch Wang Chao, but met Geng Shuai.
Yoshikawa Hiroshi himself was unfazed, and even had a faint smile on his face, showing excellent self-cultivation. After hearing the referee announce the match, he took the initiative to stand up from the player seat and bowed slightly to Geng Shuai from a distance as a greeting.
It seemed to say, "Geng Shuai-san, we meet again."
At this time Wang Chao noticed a small detail on Osmanthus Fragrance's side.
Yang Chi came close to Yoshikawa Hiroshi and whispered something in his ear.
Yoshikawa Hiroshi's expression became stunned, his eyes quickly glanced towards Spade Q, and then quickly looked away, with a weird smile on his face. He looked at Yang Chi and moved his lips.
From a distance of about ten meters, Wang Chao's excellent eyesight could still read the movements of Yoshikawa Hiroshi's lips. It was a Sakura Country word that most Chinese people are familiar with. "Red Bean Paste?"
Standing on the court, Geng Shuai looked a little lazy.
He smoked, drank too much, and showed signs of being bad. His spirit had already been exhausted when he left the national team. Over the years, nicotine and alcohol paralyzed his mind and body, turning him into the famous "God of Openings".
This nickname is his glory and proves how powerful he once was.
But the nickname was also a disgrace to him, a testament to how depraved he had become.
Today is the grudge game. If he meets Yang Chi, Geng Shuai will still try hard to fight for it, but since he meets Yoshikawa Hiroshi, he is already at peace in his heart.
After all, he had a hard time in the first game, and he almost couldn't hold on in the third game.
Yoshikawa Hiroshi itself is very strong.
Now in the fourth game, Yoshikawa Hiroshi's hands are only getting hotter and hotter, but Geng Shuai has cut off the power and turned off the fire, leaving only a cold stove.
He failed to guess the coin, but he was not frustrated. He just slowly put on a defensive posture and waited for Yoshikawa Hiroshi to serve.
For the first ball, Yoshikawa Hiroshi served and attacked and scored directly.
For the second ball, Yoshikawa Hiroshi served and continued to attack and score directly.
2:0.
Exchange of serves.
Geng Shuai didn't have too many psychological fluctuations, because he had become very familiar with this rhythm of ups and downs in the past few years, and was even a little numb.
Before he served, he even had time to think about it. Should he eat grilled fish or crayfish tonight? Should you try the local beer from Nanjing City, or get a box of the big green stick that people all over the country love to drink?
He sent a short backspin, not because of caution, but because he was too lazy to calculate his opponent's mentality at this time.
Yoshikawa Hiroshi fought directly and successfully challenged the opponent, turning the score into 3:0.
Wang Chao Looking at the table from a distance, I always felt a little uneasy.
The scene just now remained in his mind, and he couldn't help but guess what Yang Chi said to Yoshikawa Hiroshi, which caused Yoshikawa Hiroshi to look in the direction of Black Spade Q Club inexplicably and ask about the Japanese word.
He even felt that the person Yoshikawa Hiroshi was looking at at that moment was Geng Shuai.
However... Yoshikawa Hiroshi could have won this game. What should Yang Chi tell him to really make it the icing on the cake?
Wang Chao thought about it for a long time. It wasn't until the score on the field became 8:0 that a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind and he realized what happened.
Yoshikawa Hiroshi wants to shave Brother Geng's head.
