Chapter XXIII: Final 2

At the beginning of the third game, the first few balls were as Su Nian thought, no matter how she played, the opponent seemed to be able to make a prediction, and the score was 0:3 behind.

Jing Xing and Su Nian both pondered quietly for a while, and both of them began to slow down their pace, unable to let themselves fall into the rhythm of their opponents' games.

Jing Xing served, he changed his serving tactics and sent a downspin ball, Zhao Yuan twisted and pulled the wrong and recovered a point.

In the next ball, in the face of Zhao Yuan's twisting, Su Nian was not afraid at all, and directly exploded with his backhand and scored with one board.

Zhao Yuan served, Su Nian swung the ball back in the table, Jiang Yungu picked, but Jing Xing had already found a strategy to deal with Jiang Yungu's pick, retreated half a step, and drew a slash with his backhand, Zhao Yuan passively returned to defense, the ball fell on Su Nian's backhand, she quickly connected a board, Jiang Yungu didn't have time to lead the shot, and relied on the feel to bring the ball back to the stage, but there was no added quality, the ball fell on Jing Xing's forehand position, Jing Xing saw the opportunity, and the backhand burst a big slash again, and won a point in this multi-board round.

“Troy!” , Su Nian and Jing Xing shouted at the same time, for the victory of this ball, and also for the sake of quickly mobilizing themselves.

In the middle of the third game, the two sides adapted to the rhythm of the game, and began to constantly adjust and change their skills and tactics, discussing techniques and tactics with their partners every time they served and received.

Jing Xing told Su Nian, Su Nian nodded to show that he understood, and then turned sideways and began to serve.

But Jing Xing made a backhand error.

Su Nian and Jing Xing looked up at the sky at the same time, there was a trace of helplessness in their expressions, and the sense of loss of control of the game made Su Nian involuntarily ask Jing Xing next to him: "Brother Xing, what should I do?" Her tone was full of confusion and unease.

Jing Xing was a little uncomfortable, but he immediately came back to his senses after hearing Su Nian's tone, he knew that he must not show a little frustration at this time, he not only needed to mobilize himself, but also needed to comfort Su Nian, who was already in the trough period, he immediately turned his head and patted Su Nian, repeating in his mouth, "It's okay, it's okay, come again."

This is the meaning of being a partner, accompanying and encouraging all the way.

Verbal comfort alone may not necessarily play a role in boosting morale, the next ball, Jing Xing directly told Su Nian with a beautiful board, it's okay, I'll help you support the bottom.

One more ball, Jing Xing is another board. These two balls gave Su Nian a lot of confidence, and for the first time, she felt the peace of mind that she had to rely on on the field.

Jiang Yungu served, in the face of Jing Xing's twisting, Zhao Yuan did not hit hard, but gently split a bottom line long ball, Su Nian's footsteps were not in place, and the ball was returned to the net.

This time, Su Nian didn't feel uncomfortable anymore, she just pressed down with her hand, telling herself not to worry, and she would make a move after making a good judgment.

Jing Xing served, Zhao Yuan twisted a big angle, Su Nian quickly ran to save a ball, but Jiang Yungu's connection to the next board was also very fast, Jing Xing passively fished the ball back and did not cross the net.

On the second ball, Jing Xing immediately returned a downspin ball, causing Zhao Yuan to return the ball to the net, and the score was 8:6 leading by two points.

But in the next two balls, Zhao Yuan served, Su Nian swung back, Jiang Yungu scored directly on the next board, and the score returned to 8:7, Jing Xing made another mistake, and the score was tied.

Losing two goals in a row in the key points, Jing Xing patted his head as if he hated iron, Su Nian saw Jing Xing's chagrin, and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay."

Jing Xing told himself to adjust as soon as possible, and the next ball, the two of them ran more actively, tried their best to pull each of their balls onto the stage, forced out the opponent's mistakes, and the score came to 9:8.

The next moment, Su Nian was about to serve, but there was a burst of boos from the sidelines, she didn't know why the audience was cheering, she stopped, looked up at the stands, and knew that it was Jiang Yungu and Zhao Yuan's fans, they didn't want to see Jiang Yungu and Zhao Yuan behind, it was understandable.

But Su Nian was still disturbed, pulling the ball to wipe the net, the ball did not come to the stage, seeing that the ball did not come to the stage, there was a burst of boos from the sidelines again, Su Nian encountered this situation for the first time, although both sides of the game were Chinese teams, but it was like playing in someone else's home game.

The growing sound of inverted colors on the sidelines also affected Jing Xing, and his twisting and pulling made a mistake for the first time.

This is the first time Su Nian has encountered this situation, just because she is not an athlete they support, she can be applauded, she has lived in a loving environment since she was a child, so she is called Little Sun by the people around her, and there may have been some setbacks before, but at that time, the coach was behind her, and her parents were by her side, even if she lost, she could cry in her mother's arms, and then pack up her mood and stand on the competition field again.

The cruelty of competitive sports was shown in front of Su Nian for the first time.

Su Nian's heart is extremely inconsistent with her appearance, she is a very strong child, the more this situation is, the more she wants to prove that she can be shown to others, not to mention, she still has teammates.

Jiang Yungu served, in the face of Zhao Yuan's return, Su Nian used his backhand again to explode, and Jing Xing quickly followed the board, causing Zhao Yuan's return to make a mistake, and the score chased to 10:10.

Jing Xing quietly told Su Nian a few words, serve, Su Nian saw Zhao Yuan's return ball, she wanted to play a straight line in the gap between Jiang Yungu and Zhao Yuan, but unfortunately the ball did not pass the net, and the opponent won the game point again.

"It's okay, it's okay, that's it", Jing Xing kept encouraging Su Nian.

Zhao Yuan served, Su Nian swung back, Jiang Yungu picked up, Jing Xing boldly turned sideways and won this point.

Su Nian served, Jiang Yungu put a straight line, Jing Xing picked and did not cross the net, and the score was 11:12.

Jiang Yungu served, and Jing Xing directly twisted and pulled the score to tie the score.

The third game was very close, and the spectators on the sidelines held their breath for fear that their voices would affect the performance of the athletes, and the whole stadium was silently waiting for the next ball.

Jing Xing told Su Nian, "Don't make it short, just pull it by hand."

Su Nian thought about it for a while and agreed to this tactic, Jing Xing served, Zhao Yuan twisted and pulled the ball back, Su Nian then drew the ball to Jiang Yungu's backhand bottom line, Jiang Yungu passively defended a board, Jing Xing pulled the ball, causing Zhao Yuan's mistake, winning a key point and getting the game point.

Zhao Yuan served, Su Nian cleverly replied with a short ball with a slash, so that when Jiang Yungu twisted and pulled, the ball path was too short, and there was a high probability that it would go out of bounds, she calculated that Jiang Yungu would use the twist to catch the ball, and sure enough, Jiang Yungu twisted and pulled, and the ball went out of bounds.

Su Nian and Jing Xing finally won the third game with difficulty 14:12, and the big score was chased to 1:2.

It was very difficult to win the third game, and only two points were scored after the final explosion, Su Nian and Jing Xing did not dare to relax, they knew that the opponent would be ready to fight back at any time.
