Chapter 19 Life is full of surprises

Some people say that so many major international tournaments are a melting pot, and players from all over the world are like ore thrown into the furnace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAfter a thousand tempers in the furnace, what is left is real money.

What Gu Yang and the others are facing now is the first step to enter the melting pot.

According to Xinhua News Agency, Los Angeles 13 (Xinhua) -- The 53rd World Table Tennis (Single) Championships kicked off at the Great Western Forum Gymnasium in Los Angeles, with 823 athletes from 130 countries and regions around the world participating in a 16-day competition to determine the final champion and runner-up.

There are 463 male players and 360 female players participating in the World Table Tennis Championships, according to the International Table Tennis Federation, which is the largest number of participants in the previous World Table Tennis Championships.

The players of the Republic team were divided into two groups and arrived in Los Angeles one after another. The first group of men's team members to travel was the strongest four-person lineup led by Gu Yang, while the women's team was a strong four-person lineup led by Qin Shumin.

The second group of male and female players arrived the day after a group of players arrived in Los Angeles, and the more famous ones were Lao Wang and Wu Yiran.

At ten o'clock in the morning of December 13, the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles World Table Tennis Championships ended, and the first round of men's singles was immediately launched.

In the competition area, Gu Yang was wearing a red sportswear and was warming up on the field, and enthusiastic cheers rang out from the audience.

"Young Emperor, Young Emperor, Young Emperor!"

"Holy Monarch! Holy Monarch! ā€

"Bust. Come on, Lee! ā€

"Waldner kills the opponent!"

"Fischer give you a little power!"

"Zheng Rongxiu Smecta is invincible!"

All in all, the audience from all over the world cheered and cheered for their idols, and the atmosphere reached its peak.

The first round of men's singles was divided into four groups of ABCD, and Gu Yang's group A was known as the champion group, or the group of gods, due to the gathering of gods from all over the world.

The players in this group include the top king from Japan, the Shengjun Ji Department, and the two biggest dark horses this year, South Korea's Jung Rong-so and Sweden's Waldner, the intensity can be imagined.

At half past ten in the morning, the first round (A) of men's singles officially began.

Gu Yang took the table tennis ball from the staff and returned to his own table, he and his opponent had already exchanged rackets, the inspection was correct, and the draw to decide the ball had just been completed.

"Newcomer? I've never seen it before! Gu Yang looked at the opponent's still immature face and smiled slightly.

The opponent looked extremely nervous, he should have participated in such a major event for the first time, but he met Gu Yang in the first round, was his luck so good or bad that he was scum?

ā€œ#@ļæ„@! ļæ„@!! @" The young man said nervously, and a foreign language made Gu Yang stunned.

"Uh, what are you talking about?" Gu Yang looked at the young man's dark skin and thought to himself that he should be a player from a tropical country.

made an inquiring gesture, Gu Yang raised the table tennis ball in his palm and made a gesture to hit the ball.

Bolt was a little disappointed, and it could be seen from Gu Yang's polite smile that the young emperor didn't understand his greeting, thinking about it, Jamaican is not a big language, and Gu Yang is not a linguist, how can he understand this?

Seeing Gu Yang make a posture of wanting to serve, Bolt could only put away the disappointment in his heart, regain his fighting spirit, and prepare for battle.

Even if the opponent is a famous young emperor in the world table tennis world, he must not admit defeat directly because of timidity, for today's game, Bolt's efforts are evident.

Table tennis!

As soon as Gu Yang hit the cricket, he deliberately let his serve with a slight fluttering force, and after the table tennis ball crossed the net, it seemed to rush to the second drop point with a very low arc height, but as long as the opponent swung the racket to hit the ball, he would be blinded by Gu Yang's methods.

The moment Bolt saw Gu Yang's serve arrive at his table, he was excited, he didn't understand why he was so excited, even when he learned that he could represent Jamaica, he was not so excited.

Is it because the opponent is the young emperor? Bolt thought to himself, his arms stretched out quickly, and his waist twisted.

Growing up in a small country like Jamaica, Bolt had very little training available, and it is no exaggeration to say that the resources of the whole country were not even as abundant as those provided by a municipal team in the Republic.

No way, this is determined by Jamaica's national conditions, plus Jamaica's domestic table tennis has been in a downturn and has never risen, in the table tennis arena of all countries in the world, Jamaican table tennis can win the world's bottom three rankings without pressure.

Therefore, the training environment of Bolt and other generations is quite difficult, and Bolt is one of them, more than two years ago was his bottleneck period, and he has been mixed in the city team for many years, but he has never been selected for the national team.

At that time, Bolt was already preparing for retirement, and at that time, Gu Yang had just emerged at the Japan Open.

Everyone knows what happened next, Gu Yang became more and more courageous, and was remembered by fans from all over the world for his perseverance and optimistic spirit.

At that time, there was such an inspirational joke circulating in Jamaica that if someone complained about the difficult training environment and used it as an excuse not to work hard, the coach would howl at the top of his voice.

"Look at that young man from the Republic, the training environment is so good, but he still works so hard, if you don't work hard, when will you be able to get ahead?"

It was at that time that Bolt learned about Gu Yang, he did everything possible to get the video of Gu Yang's game, and was impressed by the spirit shown by Gu Yang in the game, so there is today's Bolt.

Therefore, when he saw that the opponent in the first round was Gu Yang, Bolt was extremely nervous and excited.

Table tennis!

The moment his racket made contact with Gu Yang's serve, Bolt frowned tightly, but before his brow was released, the ping-pong ball had already floated away from his racket and rushed into the air.

Serve to score, Gu Yang got off to a good start.

Recalling the feeling of touching the ball just now, Bolt blinked his eyes vigorously, that feeling was really amazing, obviously seeing the trajectory of the incoming ball in his eyes was sinking, but at the moment of touching the ball, the information transmitted on the racket was a table tennis ball floating up.

Is this the young emperor's method, a simple serve makes him feel infinitely mysterious.

Bolt's shoulders were shaking, not scared, but excited, he had never seen this kind of serve.

How could Gu Yang know this, taking the table tennis ball thrown by Bolt, he paused, just threw the ball high, and hit it with a serve that was no different from just now.

This time, Bolt's eyes widened and he swung his racket and rubbed it against the incoming ball.

Swish!

The ball floated up again, rushing into the air, and Bolt enjoyed the wonderful feeling, and the whole person was in a wonderful state.

It's not the ignorance of Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden, but the novelty of the first time humans set foot on the moon, Bolt felt that Gu Yang had opened a door for himself, and behind the door, there was a whole new world.

The reason for Bolt's feeling is largely due to the different styles of play in different parts of the world. To take a simple example, in the same topspin ball, players in Asian countries represented by the Republic of China are probably the same way of playing, and a few countries to the west will have a completely new style of play.

And if you go to so many countries, past Poland, Ukraine and other countries, it may already be a completely different way of twisting the wrist.

Not to mention the Caribbean countries that have crossed the English Channel and the Atlantic, and to put it mildly, they have not even seen this kind of play.

But there shouldn't be Bolt's feeling, after all, it is a member of the national team of a country, how can he not even see a serving style of Gu Yang?

This brings up another issue, Gu Yang's current strength.

No one knows how much Gu Yang's strength has increased after the World Championships in June?

Maybe you can get a glimpse of the leopard in the man-machine battle in July, but the master was too weak at that time, so he fought with Gu Yang for a while, and he was beaten and smoked.

As a result, Gu Yang's current strength has become a mystery, just as the strength of the Holy Son of the Jibu Department has become a mystery, and at their level, there are not enough first-class golfers.

Therefore, the most fundamental reason for Bolt's wonderful feeling is that Gu Yang's current style of play is completely created by him, although it looks very similar to the popular style of play in the world, but we have no way of knowing how many things have actually been added by Gu Yang.

ā€œ2:0ļ¼ā€ The referee's voice sounded, unremarkable, in his opinion, this game will be equally unremarkable, this Jamaican guy met the young emperor Gu Yang in the first round, and his end was already doomed.

If you really have to guess, then the only thing that can be guessed is that this game will end in ten minutes?

With Gu Yang's two balls served, the right to serve was transferred to Bolt's hands, and he was obviously still in a state of excitement, so he threw the ball in his hand without thinking, and then hit the ball with a racket.

After only three boards of competition, Gu Yang blocked his way and scored in the dead corner.

3:0, Gu Yang's three points were too easy to win.

The game is still going on, and everyone thinks that there is no suspense in this game, and the crushing of unequal strength really doesn't give people much interest.

Gu Yang also thinks that this game will end soon, the strength of this Jamaican guy is not even as good as the level of the official members of the provincial team, this kind of strength gap, it is necessary for him to put some water.

4:0!

5:0!

6:0!

7:0!

The crushing score made Gu Yang feel bored and wanted to end the game early.

However, when the score came to 8:0, Gu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was even more curious in his heart, and he was impressed by the newcomer Bolt.

This guy really has two brushes!

8:0, the score did not go further, Gu Yang and Bolt had more and more offensive boards, and the excited Bolt had also calmed down and calmly dealt with Gu Yang's every board.

Although Bolt, who has entered the state, has aroused some interest from Gu Yang, the real gap between the two is still too big, Gu Yang intends to suppress his strength, and has been using fifty percent of his strength to compete with Bolt.

Otherwise, a crushing finish would not be a good thing for him or for Bolt.

Gu Yang, who is fifty percent strong, can also enjoy a little bit of the feeling of fierce competition, this feeling, Gu Yang in full strength has not felt it for a long time, and the guy in the Ji Department did not come to China to find himself, Chen Jing and the others were a little worse after all.

8:1, Bolt gritted his teeth and broke through Gu Yang's defensive line and got the first point since the beginning, he was very happy, showing a mouthful of white white teeth.

"Hah!" When he turned around, Gu Yang, who had carried Bolt, yawned, this game was so boring, he could even imagine that it would be such a boring game from now until the semifinals.

In the semi-finals, you may meet some strong opponents, and then you will have a better time.

Now Gu Yang finally realized the feeling of being lonely and seeking defeat by the Holy Son of the Jibu Department, and also understood why the Holy Son of the Jibu Department wanted to "raise a tiger for trouble" and indulge himself to grow up.

There are two great pleasures in life, one is a confidant, and the other is equally divided.

When you reach the top, you feel that everything in the world will be a little boring.

It's not pretending......

But...... Well, this is pretending, and it is the highest level of pretending: invisible pretending, the most deadly!

When the score came to 9:2, Gu Yang felt the time for a while, and looked at the scoreboard again, well, two balls have been released, almost, end the first game.

At this time, Bolt surprised Gu Yang again.

"Oh roar!" Gu Yang couldn't help but snort, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

The ball that Bolt just hit was his own serve at the beginning, and Bolt learned!

What surprised Gu Yang even more was that in the subsequent board competition, Bolt reproduced his various playing styles since the game one by one, and in this way, he actually fell into the quagmire of exerting fifty percent of his strength.

"Who said that it was boring to compete with a young player, a young player can surprise you!" Feeling the surprise brought by Bolt, Gu Yang straightened his attitude.

How can you use fifty percent of the force, this is too much attention for Bolt.

Okay, from now on, use fifty and a half of your strength, and teach by the way......

…… Teach Usain Bolt how to be a man!

Ping Pong!

The classic Gu Yang-style style of play appeared, and the rhythm of the storm infected the audience watching the game, and the shouts and cheers that had been silent for a long time reappeared, and the atmosphere was ignited again.

"Ah, why did the rhythm suddenly speed up, is this the strength of the great god?" Bolt was at a loss at first, and then quickly adjusted his rhythm, trying to keep up with Gu Yang's rhythm.

Gu Yangle is happy, life is full of surprises, this Bolt's imitation ability is too strong, his sudden change in playing style was completely imitated by him, and he gave it back to himself.

"Young man, since you're going to imitate, let's play a game and see how far you can imitate?" A happy smile appeared on Gu Yang's face......
