Chapter 033: Advancing to the Final Four [Seedlings Seeking Harvest]

Wang Tao's strong win finally stabilized the Chinese team's position.

This victory also strengthened the judgment of the coaching staff, they called Ma Wenhua and Cheng Longcan over, Coach Xi Muen said: "Now is the time to test the two of you veteran players, this game is no longer a tactic, not a skill, today is to fight more changes and adapt to the new rhythm." ”

Coach Wu Shengping handed Ma Wenhua a bottle of water and said: "You must work hard to change the original way of the ball, even if you are not the strongest yourself, because there is an obvious difference in strength between you and the other party, as long as you are changeable, even if the state is lower than usual, you can still win." ”

According to the rotation, Ma Wenhua played his second game in the fourth game.

Although the arrangement of the coaching staff before the war is to change a lot, after all, the time is too short, and Ma Wenhua's time for adjustment is very limited.

What's more, Ma Wenhua has had a lot of foreign wars in recent years, and his opponents have focused on him as the hope star of national table tennis.

Ma Wenhua played this game more freely than in the second game, and deliberately suppressed the rhythm, but the final game was still 1:2.

The Treasure Island team was once again high in morale because of this victory, after all, the big score was 3:1, and the match point was within reach.

In the fifth rotation, the Chinese team played Wang Tao again.

Today is destined to be a battle for Wang Tao to establish the internal position of the national table tennis team.

Although Ma Wenhua's defeat caused the Chinese team to fall to the edge of the cliff again. But Wang Tao, a newcomer to national table tennis, once again played the role of a savior.

Wang Tao's foreign wars have always been more victories and fewer defeats, except for the fierce faction of the European Gaiting who can restrain him in Taiwan, he rarely loses in Asia.

The reason is that even in the late stages of his career, he is still a cunning fat man with changeable ball paths.

Therefore, Wang Tao did not deliberately seek change, and his style of play naturally conformed to the tactical concept of the coaching staff to adapt to the rhythm first.

Wang Tao easily won the fifth game, and the pressure came to Cheng Longcan, the first main force.

What is the first workhorse? It is the role that the normal process must be stable and scored, and the key nodes must be finalized.

The strongest hexagonal warrior of the national team in later generations, the invincible Grand Slam winner Champion Dragon, is the natural responsibility of the first main force.

In the best-of-five team competitions in the later world, the coaching staff arranged the lineup directly according to the two points won by the champion dragon every time, and the chances of sailing were extremely small.

Cheng Longcan, as the first singles player in the trough of national table tennis, he must carry this ball!

According to the rotation, he lost in the first game and played again in the sixth game, and he had more time to adjust than Ma Wenhua.

In the first game of the sixth game, the result of the adjustment appeared, and the opponent of Baodao almost didn't feel it, and it was the world champion Cheng Longcan who played opposite him, and Uncle Long won it 21:11.

In the second game, the scene fluctuated, and the changeable ball path often means that the control is weakened, so changeable is not omnipotent, and there is also a risk of being disrupted, and Cheng Longcan lost 15:21 in the second game.

In the third game, Cheng Longcan's competition experience and stable psychological quality were perfectly displayed. If it is a young player, after the changeable tactics are disrupted, he will definitely retreat back to the ball path and tactics he is most familiar with, but Cheng Longcan did not back down, only optimized!

The key goals of the last few goals, in the passionate shouts of the people of the capital, how to win them steadily? Cheng Longcan's experience and pattern are naturally far superior to his opponent, and at 21:17, he won the third game without danger.

The significance of winning this ball is not only to tie the total score of the two sides to 3:3, but also to win time and template for Ma Wenhua's adjustment.

Ma Wenhua is not an easily excited player, and he is often described as a bitter and hateful peasant in the old society. But in the seventh game, he completely played with momentum.

As a promising future flag-bearer in the trough era of national table tennis, he actually lost two points in a row in the team competition, and this loss is three consecutive defeats, although for the Chinese team, the seventh game is a new start after 3:3, but for Ma Wenhua, this is his third game, and it is the only salvation after his two consecutive defeats!

Although the second game was still lost due to fluctuations, Ma Wenhua won the first victory of the day with a score of 2:1, and also took the first lead for the Chinese team with a big score.

The Chinese team, once the king of the world, actually took the lead for the first time in the seventh game of the team competition!

The rotation table for this game is very unfavorable to the Chinese team, according to the rotation, the next eighth game is Wang Tao, and the ninth game is Cheng Longcan.

If Wang Tao loses the eighth match, the veteran Cheng Longcan will have to fight against a much younger opponent, and the game will last more than five hours, which will be a huge test of the veteran's physical fitness.

It's Wang Tao's performance time again. Every game he played today was not a stunning turnaround on match point, but in reality, it was the most crucial game on the edge of the cliff.

He has steadily scored two points and is the hero of today's national table tennis.

But only with victory, heroes will be remembered and worshipped.

If you fail, you will be judged as a tragic figure, and you will regret it for a while, but it will only be regretted.

In the eighth game, it seemed to be the downwind ball after the Chinese team got the match point, but the Taipei team fought particularly fiercely. They also saw that in the ninth game, they were superior.

But the premise is that there has to be a ninth game!

Since today is the battle of Wang Tao's rise, it is naturally indispensable to turn the tide and lock in the victory!

After all, he did not leave the suspense to the ninth game, the game score was 2:1, the process had ups and downs, and the ending was a happy ending.

When Wang Tao won the last point, the veteran Cheng Longcan was the first to rush out, hugging Wang Tao with his right hand, and swinging his fist high with his left hand, shouting excitedly!

In previous years, this kind of celebration of victory under pressure was only after winning the championship, but this year, it was only about advancing to the quarter-finals.

Kong Zhendong stretched his waist, patted Ye Xiaoya, who was still cheering, and said, "It's finally over this ordeal." Pay attention to your feet, there are many people in the stands, and the road is not easy to walk! ”

As the saying goes, in the knockout round of eight into four, the Chinese team encountered the old rival Japanese team, staring at the Chinese team that won the championship, and finally had to learn, pay attention to your feet, the road is not easy to walk!

The Sino-Japanese showdown will determine the first semi-final seat of men's table tennis.

The stumbling Chinese team sent Ma Wenhua to play the first singles today, but lost the first game inexplicably.

With the ups and downs of the last battle, Ye Xiaoya in the audience was much calmer, but she still said distressedly: "What's going on?" The Baodao team has Olympic champion Chen Jing, but Chen Jing is only one after all. Hasn't the Japanese team been in decline for 10 years? Who are they? ”

Kong Zhendong muttered: "Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back!" They don't have Chen Jing, but they have He Lili, or rather, Xiaoshan Lili. ”

Ye Xiaoya said deflatedly: "World champion He Lili also went abroad? Is the moon really rounder abroad? ”
