Chapter 31: The Destined Opponent 1
After the World Table Tennis Championships list was determined, the national table tennis began an intense training camp, and in April, all the contestants set off for Budapest.
On the night they arrived in Budapest, Jing Xing and Liu Ying participated in the draw as the world No. 1 rankings, Jing Xing drew the women's team and Liu Ying drew the men's team.
Canteen, "Jing Xing, come and come", Li Shan saw Jing Xing looking for a place with a plate, and mysteriously called Jing Xing over, then took out a bottle of Lao Gan Ma and put it in front of Jing Xing, "I know that every time you go abroad to compete, you can't do without Lao Gan Ma, especially for you, how about it?" ”
Jiang Yungu also agreed, "Brother Jing, I brought instant noodles, spicy, I can divide you into two buckets." ”
Liu Ying didn't speak, just silently put the chicken leg that she had finally grabbed on Jing Xing's plate, "Eat more, you've lost weight." ”
Su Nian was shocked when she heard Liu Ying's words, she didn't expect that Liu Ying, who was usually the most serious and serious, could open her eyes and talk nonsense, but she knew that Jing Xing's coach had arranged for Jing Xing to gain weight in order to increase his quality.
Zhu Yuhong, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up, "Jing Xing, you didn't make soup, I'll call you." ”
Su Nian looked at everyone with a confused expression, what's going on, did Jing Xing have any genetic mutations after going abroad? Why is everyone not normal.
Li Shan looked at Su Nian, who didn't say anything, and knew that she was still clear, so she explained to her; "This time, the draw of our women's team was drawn by Jing Xing, he is famous for his bad hands, this must not be stammered, he asked him to draw a good draw for us, at least don't have a civil war in the first round."
When Su Nian heard that this was the reason, he glanced at Jing Xing, put down his chopsticks, and hurriedly picked up the jade pendant that had been hanging on his neck since he entered the national team, and said while picking it up, "Brother Jing, my mother said that the light I brought was very bright, you take it, and you must draw a good lot for me." ”
Everyone looked at Su Nian's movements, and they were amazed, Jiang Yungu, who usually talks little and is cold, actually patted his head, "Why didn't I think of it, instead of asking Brother Jing, it would be better for us to give him some things to transfer and let him take them with him when he draws lots." ”
Jing Xing smiled bitterly and grabbed Su Nian's hand that was untying Yu Pei, "It's useless, why do you think I'm famous for my smelly hands?" It's because the men's team has tried all the ways to change my luck, and they also said that fortunately I drew the women's team this time. ”
"Alas", everyone frowned, Jing Xing looked at Su Nian with a wrinkled little face, "But I promise, this time I smoke well, I must be cautious and cautious." ”
Then he glanced at his own food and asked cautiously, "Can I eat these?" "After a long flight, he was really hungry.
"Let's eat, let's eat", Li Shan and the others waved generously, but they soon regretted it, and even wanted to chase Jing Xing and beat him violently, but because he didn't have time to prepare for the game, Jing Xing escaped.
Because after the draw results came out, everyone looked at it, the women's doubles had a total of two combinations to participate, and they were drawn to one and a half districts, and the women's singles Jingxing drew Su Nian and Jiang Yungu to one and a half districts, and Su Nian will meet the Japanese player Matsumoto Miki in the first round, Matsumoto Miki is another powerful young player in Japan after Matsushita Seiko, who has successively defeated the main force of the women's team, Jiang Yungu, Li Shan, and Zhu Yuhong have all lost to her, and now no one in the women's team is 100% sure that they can defeat Matsumoto Miki, and Su Nian has her first fight, I didn't expect Su Nian to participate in the first round of the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time.
Wang Liang, the head coach of the women's team, received the lottery results as soon as possible, and jokingly said to the leading coach of the men's team: "I just said don't let Jingxing go to the lottery, look at this luck, there is no one." ”
He urgently gave Su Nian to find Matsumoto Miki's game video, the main force of the women's team had played against her before, and the game video was very easy to find, mainly because Matsumoto Miki is a special style of play, the backhand long rubber bullet play, there is almost no in China, and the serve is particularly eccentric, once let the main force of the women's team eat two or three serves in a game, and this is the first time Su Nian has played against Matsumoto Miki, they did not expect to meet Matsumoto Miki in the first round, and this game has also attracted the attention of major domestic media.
May 21, 2019 at 10 a.m. local time.
"Audience friends, this is CCTV, now we are watching the 55th World Table Tennis Championships women's singles round of 16, the two sides are Su Nian from China and Matsumoto Miki from Japan, this is the first meeting between the two people in the Tokyo cycle, Matsumoto Miki is the biggest opponent of the Chinese team in the World Table Tennis Championships, the main force of women's table tennis has lost to her before, and it can also be said that it is our biggest opponent in the Tokyo Olympics next year, so who currently has a higher winning rate against Matsumoto Miki within the national table tennis, Whoever has a better chance of going to the Tokyo Olympics.
Su Nian has just entered the main layer, this is also her first time participating in the World Table Tennis Championships, I didn't expect to meet Matsumoto Miki in the first round, this strong opponent, both of them are 00 years old, similar age, if nothing else, it will be a fateful opponent, okay, let's take a look at the game. ”
In the first game, Su Nian served first, two balls in a row, Su Nian had not yet adapted to Matsumoto's style of play, and fell behind 0:2.
Changed Matsumoto's serve, entered the backhand hold, Su Nian got a point, and Su Nian's strength was still thicker than Matsumoto's, with a score of 1:2.
Matsumoto's second serve was long, but Su Nian didn't predict it, and returned the ball to hang on the net.
Matsumoto's ball is worthy of a fast attack play, her ball speed is so fast that Su Nian has not encountered before, several balls in a row, Su Nian did not match the point, swinging the racket empty, 1:4 behind, and then Su Nian changed the way of serving, strengthened the rotation of the ball, and let Matsumoto return the ball high, Su Nian saw the opportunity to directly forehand a board.
Changing Matsumoto's serve, her serve has distinctive characteristics, strong spin, and almost a straight line, but Su Nian judged the spin very accurately, reacted instantly, and skimmed the ball in a straight line with her backhand, Matsumoto wanted to change the line, but unfortunately the ball went out of bounds, and the score was 4:4.
Su Nian served, Matsumoto received the serve and attacked directly, and hit a big slash in the forehand position with a backhand, and Su Nian returned the ball to hang the net.
Matsumoto's backhand bounce is very powerful, the ball is very heavy and heavy, this kind of ball is not easy to deal with, and Su Nian wants to guard against Matsumoto's ball.
Matsumoto serves, she does have a lot of technical movements to serve, and many opponents pay too much attention to her serve, but Su Nian does not, any Matsumoto serve to Su Nian, the judgment is the moment the ball falls on the table. This is also the reason why Su Nian was later called Matsumoto Miki's nemesis by many Chinese fans.
I saw the moment the ball touched the table, Su Nian made a judgment, the reverse rotation of the forehand position, the ball in the forehand position did not have any difficulty for Su Nian, she quickly shifted, the waist and abdomen exerted force, and the forehand directly made a big slash, Matsumoto's series of serving actions instantly lost its meaning, and the score was 7:7 draw.
In the next situation, the skills and tactics of both sides are very clear, Matsumoto Miki is using her ball speed to quickly change the line, so that Su Nian is unable to defend, and Su Nian keeps hitting the ball on the bottom line, using long balls, than Matsumoto retreats, so that her bounce ball can not borrow force and loses her original speed.
