Chapter 55: Eliminated
Manager Zhang brought back a very bad news, I didn't expect Xiao Zhan's racket to have the same problem, it seems that this is not an exception, it is indeed a problem with the quality of this batch of products.
"Han Cang's racket is okay now, right?" Manager Zhang asked.
But from such a distance, the translator Xiao Meng can't see clearly, and if there is a problem, only the players on the field know best, and their onlookers really don't know.
"How many rackets have broken here Han Cang?" I only heard Wang Gong ask.
"There should be only one, right?" Manager Zhang glanced at Xiao Meng, before he left, he only remembered that Han Cang called a timeout and went to the sidelines to change a pair of rackets, but he didn't know that Han Cang had already changed the racket as early as the break at the end of the first game, so he was now holding the last racket in his hand, and there was no spare racket.
Translator Xiao Meng didn't know, he was chatting with Manager Zhang at halftime, and his attention was not on Han Cang at all, they all thought that this game was already nine out of ten, but they didn't expect such a mistake.
At this time, the score on the field had come to 5-7, Han Cang was still two points behind, I don't know when he started, he didn't dare to receive the opponent's kill, and took the initiative to play a lot of balls in front of the transition net, refusing to pull in the backcourt, changing his previous style.
Such an obvious change that even Manager Zhang could see it, and he asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" This... This Han Cang doesn't seem to be the same as before? It's not like his style at all, is there another problem with the racket in his hand? ”
Xiao Meng and Engineer Wang couldn't understand it, although they had hardly watched Han Cang's game, and they didn't know Han Cang as well as Manager Zhang, but they could feel that something was not right.
I saw Han Cang frequently use splitting and pressing the ball to transition the ball from the back court to the front court, and compete in front of the net, which is also because there is a problem with the racket line in his hand, and he can't play the kind of ball that swings too violently, not even a high and far ball, let alone a killing ball.
However, Huang Wenhan has also become smarter, he can see that Han Cang's style of play is to fight in front of the net, although he was really confident in his skills in front of the net at the beginning of the game, but gradually when he realized that Han Cang was superior in front of the net, he understood that fighting with Han Cang in front of the net was definitely not a wise choice, so he tried to pick the backcourt whenever he was in the front court, and the more Han Cang didn't want to play in the backcourt, the more he had to force him to play - this young player is growing rapidly through this game, and his style of play is becoming more and more mature.
I saw Huang Wenhan pat the backcourt and forced Han Cang to return to the bottom line, facing the incoming ball, Han Cang was originally going to use the splitting hanging, because the principle of the splitting hanging is that the racket surface and the badminton hit the ball at a certain angle, not a head-on impact, a bit of a chipping meaning, as long as it is not a head-on collision with the badminton, the impact on the shooting line is the lowest.
But he always repeats a routine, no matter how stupid the opponent is, he will guess that Han Cang doesn't need to look at it to know that Huang Wenhan will definitely come forward to seal the net, so he has no choice but to hit a high shot, trying to make Huang Wenhan run a little more distance and consume his physical strength.
But Huang Wenhan, as a young player, still retains a trace of blood while learning to be calm, and he will not let go of the opportunity to send it to the door - I saw Huang Wenhan quickly return to the backcourt, and in the face of the flying badminton, he suddenly jumped, waved his racket like lightning, and only listened to "Bang!" "A slash on the top of the head!
This shot is powerful and powerful, Han Cang has no desire to catch the ball at all, which is also the most incomprehensible point for the audience off the field, obviously Han Cang has had so many wonderful kills and saves before, but now he is just standing in place, watching the ball fall on his own field, without the slightest intention of saving.
In fact, Han Cang didn't want to do this either, but the damage to the racket line was very great, because the power of the kill ball was great, the speed was fast, the badminton ball was like a bullet, the impact was very strong, if it hit the racket head-on, the inferior racket line on the racket surface could not bear it at all, and it would collapse if it didn't hit a few points, just like the end of the first racket.
5-8, Han Cang lost another point.
Manager Zhang on the sidelines couldn't help but gasp and said, "No, if you go on like this, you may lose this game." ”
Engineer Wang on the side frowned and said, "The racket in his hand is estimated to have a problem, Han Cang himself should have discovered it, so he doesn't dare to exert his strength now, but what I don't understand is why he didn't hurry up and change a racket, could it be ......?"
I saw a ghostly light flash in Engineer Wang's eyes, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said to Zhang Wenlin: "Mr. Zhang! Are you sure Han Cang is using a second racket now? Does he really have a spare racket? ”
"I... I... That..."Being seriously questioned by Engineer Wang, Zhang Wenlin's heart was also empty, and he also realized that he hadn't watched the game seriously since the end of the first game, so he really didn't dare to guarantee that Han Cang was using the first few rackets now.
"I feel as if this is Han Cang's last racket, otherwise he would not have been able to suddenly change his style of play to adapt to this problematic racket, he should have no spare racket, so he had to do this." Engineer Wang expressed his guess.
When Zhang Wenlin heard this, the whole person was dumbfounded, and at this moment, Huang Wenhan scored the 11th point cleanly with a forehand split, leading by a large margin with an 11-6 score and entering the sweat era.
Manager Zhang quickly stood up and greeted the two people beside him: "Xiao Meng, you... You hurry up and tell the referee, Wang Gong and I will go and take a look at Han Cang! ”
The three of them hurriedly walked to the sidelines, Manager Zhang and Wang Gong persuaded the staff to enter the venue as coaches, while the translator Xiao Meng hurried to report the situation to the referee.
"How? What do you think? Manager Zhang was anxious, and came to Han Cang's side and hurriedly asked.
Engineer Wang followed closely behind, took the racket from Han Cang's hand and glanced at it, and suddenly sighed in his heart, and his expression instantly stiffened.
"How, how? Wang Gong? Manager Zhang asked nervously.
I saw Engineer Wang sigh deeply, looked up at Han Cang again, and asked, "Do you have any other rackets?" ”
Han Cang shook his head, Engineer Wang couldn't help but sigh again, and said, "It's too bad now, I'll go to Mr. Xu's side quickly to see if I can borrow Xiao Zhan's racket and use it to survive this game." ”
Manager Zhang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, and then I'll hurry up and buy another racket for Han Cang, there should be a place to sell rackets nearby... Right? ”
To be honest, Zhang Wenlin didn't know the bottom of his heart, after all, what they wanted was a professional badminton racket, which could not be bought at any sporting goods store, and most of the foreign sporting goods stores were concentrated in large shopping plazas in the urban area, but they were a university town, not so close to the city, could this be in time?
The answer is no, Xiao Meng has been communicating with the referee, nearly seven or eight minutes have passed than the specified time for wiping sweat, and there is still no result, the person in charge of the organizing committee has also been called, at this time everyone is anxiously waiting, the audience on the sidelines has lost patience, and gradually dispersed, leaving only the players and staff to stay on the field, Han Cang stood there silently, expressionless, waiting for the results.
Engineer Wang rushed back from Xiao Zhan's side, and Xu Bin also followed, and as soon as he came up, he asked, "What's the situation?" Han Cang's three rackets all have problems? ”
Zhang Wenlin sighed helplessly and acquiesced.
"It's not... I said Mr. Zhang, how did you prepare? Why did you go earlier? Xu Bin did not speak in that fanning tone, but really felt angry and anxious for Zhang Wenlin.
"It's a problem with the quality of the racket itself, and it's not my fault, and I don't want to do it!" Zhang Wenlin said excitedly.
Engineer Wang interrupted the two of them and said, "Okay, okay, don't quarrel, when is this coming, hurry up and think of a way, it's really not okay to borrow a racket from other players, why do you want to finish this game, right?" ”
The two managers rarely reached an agreement and nodded in agreement, but after they discussed it, the organizing committee had already given the results:
I saw the translator Xiao Meng walking back with a red face, he explained so much to the referee and the organizing committee, and he was half tired to death, but in the end he still failed to convince the other party - because Han Cang did not have an eligible racket to complete the content of the game stipulated by the organizing committee, he was judged to be automatically defeated, which means that Han Cang's journey to the All England Challenge ended on the first day of the competition, and he was out.
