Chapter 158: There are risks in moving sideways, be careful when rushing forward!

“Hoo ho ho…”

After shouting a few times, Felix jumped high on the spot.

While warming up, this activity can also relieve tension in your heart.

Although he has just turned eighteen, he is already a veteran in the table tennis arena.

In just two or three years, he fought his way up to sixth place in the world with his straight-blade horizontal hitting style.

He even won an Olympic bronze medal in singles.

With such outstanding performance, he is definitely worthy of the title of “genius boy”.

Even so, Felix still feels a little nervous every time he competes.

What’s more, when playing away from home, the audience’s cheers were almost one-sided.

Even if I don’t understand, I can still feel the pressure from outside the field.

Holding the ping-pong ball and standing in the backhand position, Felix turned his head and looked at his opponent.

But Chen Jin stood with his legs slightly bent, parallel to the ground, his body lowered, his eyes sharp, and he was ready to receive the serve.

“Faster than me?”

Felix cast the spell without saying a word, without any “da da da” pre-swing.

Lean down and serve directly.

Backhand crosscourt.

Side down.

In the first encounter, Felix’s serve was clearly intended to test the opponent.

If the opponent plays short, you can just compete with him for control of the table.

If Chen Jin hits the ball long, you can take advantage of the situation and try to hit it with your backhand.

When playing against unfamiliar opponents, this is usually the strategy.

I thought that in the first few balls, as they were unfamiliar with each other, Chen Jin would slow down the pace and focus on testing the waters.

however.

Unexpectedly.

Chen Jin’s attack was neither a short move nor a long one.

But take a decisive step forward.

Lower your shoulders and raise your elbows.

The wrists are bent inward.

While the ball is rising, he pushes the ground with his left leg and suddenly exerts force from his waist and abdomen.

The moment the ball is touched, the fingers and wrists accelerate friction.

Draw a half circle in front of you.

“Snapped!”

Explosive twist diagonal line.

“Just twist it as soon as you come up?”

Felix’s chest trembled. “Why is your desire to attack so strong?”

It was almost an instinctive reaction from years of training.

Felix slid sideways at an extremely fast speed and made a forehand counter-attack.

Although the steps were in place, the quality of Chen Jin’s twist was extremely high.

Power, spin and arc, all perfect.

Especially the strong side spin.

The moment he landed on the table and took off, he turned sharply to the right.

Felix misjudged the ball and failed to hit the arc of the ball.

“Snapped!”

There was a crisp sound.

The ball was hit from the edge of the board and flew out of bounds at an angle.

0: 1.

Seeing Chen Jin score the first point with thunderous momentum, he gave Felix a warning.

Wang Hao clenched his fists, stood up and roared.

“Cuo Le!”

“Zhu–“

As an off-field coach, Wang Hao could not give Chen Jin any help at this time.

The only thing he can do is to maximize the emotional value.

On the other hand, Chen Jin won the game with an expression as calm as an ancient well.

Indifference is like an emotionless killer.

“Why did I turn sideways for that shot just now?”

Felix muttered to himself, his face full of annoyance, “Wouldn’t it be better to just tear it apart with your backhand?”

Although he lost the first ball, he did test Chen Jin’s backhand ability.

immediately.

Second serve.

Felix decisively changed his strategy.

The forehand is short.

“Not turning?”

Following Wang Hao’s pre-match instructions, Chen Jin stared very closely.

He could see every detail of Felix’s hand movements when serving the ball clearly, without any sign of obstruction.

As for the combined force of the throw back, that depends on personal opinion.

It only takes a moment to predict the spin of your opponent’s serve and then develop your own receiving strategy.

Chen Jin stepped forward quickly.

With a flick of the wrist, he shot in a straight line.

Seeing Chen Jin’s move, Felix thought that Chen Jin wanted to make a diagonal move.

He wanted to protect his forehand.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin changed his tactics midway and dribbled to his backhand position.

Fortunately, Felix reacted very quickly, quickly withdrew his backhand and almost tore the board.

Unfortunately.

His backhand position was blocked, and he was shaken by Chen Jin.

The shape of the board on my hand has long been deformed.

The ball was returned out of bounds again.

2: 0.

“nice shot!”

“Pretty!”

Xu Xin couldn’t help but applaud, “These two shots at the beginning were very decisive.”

“It seems that Chen Jin’s tactics today are very clear, which is to focus on Felix’s backhand length and lock Felix’s backhand power space.”

Although Yu Diyang is far inferior to Xu Xin in hitting with a straight-blade horizontally, he also has some insights.

“Felix is ​​good at backhand near-table quick tearing, and his speed is very fast, but as long as you lock on his backhand long ball, it will be difficult to deal with it unless you retreat from the table.”

Yu Diyang said, “But once we retreat, the speed will inevitably decrease.”

“Correct.”

Xu Xin nodded and said, “Chen Jin’s tactics are very clever.”

“It all depends on what tactics Felix will use to break the deadlock next.”

While talking.

Xu Xin’s eyes never left the screen where the live game was broadcast.

“Chen Jin hits the ball, or a hook shot.”

“Backspin, spin!”

“Felix eats the serve.”

Xu Xin smiled comfortably, “From the perspective of serving and receiving, Chen Jin is better.”

“I’ve watched a few of Chen Jin’s games, and his hook serve is absolutely top-notch.”

Cheng Jingqi said, “There are many changes in the details. In almost every game, someone eats the ball.”

“The key is that this hook shot is very clean and clear.”

Yu Diyang added.

“Hey Hey hey!”

Xu Xin and Cheng Jingqi looked over at the same time with horror on their faces, “What do you mean by that?”

It seemed that some of the words in Yu Diyang’s words, like mentioning Voldemort’s name, violated the Death Eaters’ taboos.

“No, no, no.”

Yu Diyang was so scared that he quickly waved his hands, “I definitely didn’t mean that.”

“What do you mean?”

Cheng Jingqi smiled and patiently persuaded.

“that is……”

Yu Diyang said, “You all understand.”

“Don’t make me a hot topic again in public.”

Xu Xin smiled and said, “Things are different now. Thanks to Chen Jin, I am now a Douyin anchor. I must be careful with what I say and do.”

“Cough cough.”

Yu Diyang quickly changed the subject, “The game has begun, Chen Jin scores.”

“It’s still a hook, a short ball down the side.”

“Felix plays short.”

“Chen Jin hits his backhand long ball…”

Facing Chen Jin’s long chop.

Felix seemed to have expected this.

Move at an extremely fast pace to quickly create space for hitting the ball.

Dash sideways.

“Snapped!”

The small ping-pong ball, carrying with it a powerful force, rushed out like lightning.

It was like a spear thrown by Odin, cutting through the void and rushing towards Chen Jin’s backhand diagonal line.

In the eyes of many people.

Felix is ​​known for his backhand.

But, it is a straight blade after all, so his forehand should not be underestimated.

“it is good–“

Seeing Felix’s sideways charge, Yu Diyang couldn’t help but shout out at the high quality of the ball.

however.

The words stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.

Like a sharp knife, it cut his throat with the force of thunder.

And this sharp knife was made by Chen Jin.

But Chen Jin stood in the backhand position, calmly facing Felix’s sideways burst of ball, pushing his center of gravity forward and quickly tearing it with his backhand.

“Snapped!”

The sound was like a tiger’s roar shaking the mountains.

The force penetrates the bottom plate.

This ball was like a thunderbolt falling from the sky.

Instantly runs through the straight line.

“Wow—”

The whole audience exclaimed.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause broke out.

The sound resounded throughout the arena.

The three people in Xuperman’s live studio said in unison, “Good shot!”

“This skill of backhand tearing a straight line is almost as good as Wang Hao back then.”

Yu Diyang was stunned.

As we all know, facing such a fierce sideways charge as Felix.

It is also difficult for ordinary players to defend closely.

Not to mention becoming a straight line.

Chen Jin’s move not only changed the straight line, but also increased the force to tear the straight line apart.

The difficulty coefficient skyrocketed!
But Chen Jin still did it.

“The key point is, look at Chen Jin’s expression, he looks calm and unperturbed by praise or criticism.”

Xu Xin smiled and said, “After the job is done, I will leave without any fame or merit… Little Lebrun, do you dare to play sideways charge with me again in the future?”

“There are risks in moving sideways, so be careful when charging, my friends.”

Cheng Jingqi also laughed and said, “This backhand straight-blade backhand rip was Hao’s unique skill back then.”

“It has been lost for so many years, and now there is finally someone to carry on the tradition.”

“It’s hard to imagine how happy Brother Hao must be when he sees this.”

It is clear.

The director also understands.

Just at this moment, the live camera switched to Wang Hao who was sitting outside the venue.

“Brother Hao laughed.”

Xu Xin laughed and said, “I laughed so happily, as if I suddenly became 20 years younger.”

Outside the arena.

Wang Hao was all smiles and applauded continuously.

Looking at the calm and composed yet high-spirited young man in front of me, I seemed to see myself back then.

Once upon a time, he was just like Chen Jin, sweating profusely and full of high spirits on the field.

Unfortunately, time flies and youth is gone.

“nice shot!”

“Pretty!”

Wang Hao came back to his senses, shouted loudly, and clapped his hands even harder.

0: 4.

Change sides to serve.

Felix serves a forehand straight long ball.

There was a slight error in hand control, and the arc was a little high.

In a duel between masters, even the slightest mistake could be fatal.

It was clear that Felix was affected by the previous ball and his mentality was a little fluctuating, which led to some mistakes in his serve.

Chen Jin did not hesitate and acted decisively.

“Snapped!”

The stage is full of people rushing to pull.

Forehand crosscourt shot from Felix.

The angle change was obviously a bit beyond Felix’s expectations.

In addition, after Felix served, he was a little slow in recovering and the connection was not up to par.

Wait for him to react.

Swing forehand, trying to drive fast.

However, due to lack of strength, the return ball went into the net.

“what–“

Felix also knew that this ball was caused by his serve error.

I was already in a bad mood, and now I felt even more irritated.

With a loud yell, he suddenly jumped up and stomped his feet hard.

but.

After venting his emotions, he quickly calmed down.

I kept thinking about tactics in my mind.

“It’s zero to five.”

Xu Xin smiled and said, “Felix’s backhand speed advantage has not been brought into play yet.”

“Chen Jin played very well today.”

Yu Diyang nodded and said, “There is no room for Felix to use his backhand.”

“I guess Felix has to change his tactics.”

Cheng Jingqi said, “We need to get the rhythm of the game back into our own hands.”

“Correct.”

Xu Xin’s eyes turned, “Hey, Chen Jin actually got served?”

“what happened?”

“It’s rare to see a serve without blocking or blocking.”

“Look at the replay of what happened.”

Sudden.

Xu Xin raised his eyebrows slightly: “Back serve? Felix is ​​a bit of a jerk.”

Just now when serving.

The moment Felix touched the ball, he unexpectedly switched to the back.

Chen Jin was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment: “Is he going to use his ultimate move so soon?”

I couldn’t keep my eyes on the rotation for a moment.

In desperation, I had to rely on my own feelings to make my own judgment.

“A back-hand serve like this is likely to have topspin or no spin.”

Just in case, Chen Jin also added some board control to handle topspin.

Unexpectedly, the moment he touched the ball.

I already realized something was wrong.

“This ball actually has backspin?”

It’s too late to change tactics.

Eat it immediately and get off the net.

5: 1.

Felix finally managed to win back a point with his serving skills, and he felt relieved.

Put down the racket and walk towards the referee table.

He picked up his towel, wiped the sweat off his face, and thought about his next strategy.

“I played too passively in the last few balls and failed to control the rhythm.”

“I should also get more shots later and enter the backhand stalemate.”

“Correct!”

“Just fight.”

“Hoo ho ho…”

After wiping the sweat off his face, he returned to the table.

Felix took a deep breath, picked up the racket, and Lima prepared to receive the serve.

“Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.”

Chen Jin’s serving rhythm is neither fast nor slow.

Hook.

Side down.

The forehand is short.

Felix stepped forward and gently made a half-out move of Chen Jin’s backhand position.

Twist your waist and lower your wrists.

Chen Jin backhanded the ball and rushed forward diagonally.

“finally come.”

“The backhand topspin I’ve been dreaming of.”

Felix was greatly encouraged, and with a snap, he tore it apart with his backhand.

Standing in the backhand position, Chen Jin waited calmly.

“Snapped!”

Tear back with more force.

“So fast.”

Felix was startled.

I wanted to change the landing point directly, but I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to control the arc.

You can only continue to tear the diagonal lines.

“Snapped!”

“Snapped!”

“Snapped!”

……

The two men fought backhand to backhand at an extremely fast speed, which was dazzling to watch.

To know.

Felix’s backhand is known for its speed.

He is particularly good at finding opportunities and changing the landing point during backhand stalemate.

But this time, it was against Chen Jin.

Chen Jin’s backhand speed was not slower than his at all.

more importantly.

Chen Jin not only serves the ball extremely quickly, but also actively exerts force in every rebound.

Each board is faster than the last!

One board is heavier than the other!

Felix was so busy coping that he had no time or space to change course.

Unless you withdraw from the stage.

However, with his fast-paced style of play, once he retreats, it will be like Ma Su abandoning Jieting, and all his advantages will be gone.

“Both of them are so fast.”

Xu Xin was stunned. “There is nothing in the martial arts world that is invincible except speed… My eyes are almost dazzled.”

“I’m not surprised Felix is ​​fast.”

Yu Diyang was surprised. “I didn’t expect that Chen Jin would be faster than Felix.”

“Could this be the long-lost martial arts secret that can help you give someone a taste of your own medicine?”

On the playing field.

Chen Jin played fast and competed with Felix in backhand speed, and was not at all inferior.

Just a few breaths.

They had been fighting for more than ten rounds.

“Still not changing line?”

Chen Jin glanced at Felix and said, “If you don’t change, I will.”

The mind has not changed.

Sudden.

Move your wrist slightly to fine-tune the board shape.

The ping-pong ball flew towards Felix’s forehand like lightning.
