Chapter XXXVIII: Semi-Finals 3

In the sixth game, Li Shan pulled the ball out of bounds twice in a row, the score was 3:6 behind, at the critical moment, a short ball, Li Shan wanted to save, her stomach hit the table, her eyes were black in a moment, and she felt that she was lying on the table for a while before she eased up, Zhu Yuhong was worried about her state and asked for a timeout.

After the pause, Jiang Yungu turned sideways and wanted to pull a straight line, and the whole person knelt on the ground, but the ball did not come to the stage, she got up helplessly, turned to look at Su Nian, Su Nian smiled and comforted her, "My mistake is my fault, I didn't follow the previous board." ”

Both sides tried their best to get the ball, Li Shan hit the table, Jiang Yungu fell to the ground after saving the ball, the game was played to this extent, no one seemed to give up.

"Come on, Li Shan! I wish Yuhong come on! Come on, Su Nian! Come on, Jiangyun Valley! "The fighting spirit of the athletes also affected the spectators outside the stadium, most of whom were Chinese spectators, and they were also desperately cheering for the athletes.

This ball seems to have become the turning point of this game, Li Shan and Zhu Yuhong chased the points again and again, chasing 6:6 draw.

It was another round with a lot of boards, Li Shan and Zhu Yuhong ran fully, constantly at a large angle, and scored another point.

Then he used the change of serve to cause Su Nian and Jiang Yungu to make a twisting mistake one by one, and won the sixth game, tied with a big score of 3:3, and dragged the game into the deciding game.

At the beginning of this game, no one would have thought that this game would be so stalemate, Su Jiang played two games first, Zhu Yuhong and Li Shan chased two games in a row, Su Jiang won the fifth game, Li Zhu and the two immediately won the sixth game, the scores of each game were very close, until the last moment, no one knew what the result of this game would be.

In the decisive game, the skills and tactics of both sides have basically been used up, and at this time they have begun to desperately count the ball, and the score is very close at the beginning, and neither side will let the score gap exceed one point.

Su Nian made another mistake in pulling the ball, she stomped her foot angrily, this kind of mistake at a critical time made Su Nian very annoyed, Jiang Yungu patted her arm, "It's okay, come again!" ”

In the next ball, they used repeated landing points to squeeze Li Zhu's position together, and scored another point, continuous pulling, and rapid connection, making the audience think they were watching the men's doubles game.

Every time they score a point, Su Nian and Jiang Yungu will shout at each other, no matter who scores, they will cheer for each other, the more they reach the tiebreaker, the more the two of them will fight, and winning this game is called their only purpose.

Continuous large angles, continuous middle and far platforms, the two of them are different from other women's doubles styles of play in this evenly matched game.

The commentary watched Su Nian and Jiang Yungu's extreme performance, and couldn't help but admire, "The skills of these two young players are really a bit masculine, COSCO is too good!" ”

The voice had not yet fallen, and in the next second, Jiang Yungu made a mistake in pulling the ball, and this poisonous milk made the commentary immediately shut up.

Su Nian made a backhand burst and scored another point, Jiang Yungu looked at the ball, turned around and raised his fist towards Su Nian, his face was full of affirmation and pride for Su Nian.

Su Nian and Jiang Yungu finally opened the score to 8:5 and saw a little light of victory, but the two of them did not relax in the slightest, they worked hard to score against each other, suddenly changed the line, scored two more points, and got the match point.

The scores in these rounds made Li Shan and Zhu Yuhong look at each other and smile bitterly, and Li Shan even whispered, "I can't fight at all!" The tone was full of helplessness, I didn't expect an 18-year-old and a 19-year-old player to be at such a level after they were fully played, so that they were powerless.

Maybe it was because after seven rounds of hard fighting, seeing that the game was about to be won, or hearing Li Shan's words, Su Nian's immature but almost expressionless face on the court also showed a little smile, like a slightly blooming flower bone.

The last ball, Li Shan served, Su Nian twisted the left half of the straight line, Jiang Yungu pulled the right half of the straight line, Li Shan hit back the right half of the backhand triangle, seeing that Su Nian's pace was not in place, I didn't expect Su Nian to let the ball rub on the paddle for a while, and then bent back, saved the ball, and returned to the same straight line again, Zhu Yuhong watched the ball return to his forehand position, a cross big stride, pulled a large angle of the left half of the platform, Jiang Yungu saw that the ball was going to the left half of the table and ran quickly at the same time, a little bit worse, Everyone thought that there was no way for this ball to go on the stage, but the moment he hit the ball, Jiang Yungu's wrist was slightly buckled, adjusted the angle of the paddle surface, and changed the path of the ball, so that the ball flew towards the table, and the ball came to the stage!

"Wow!" The audience stood up and applauded the ball, for Su Nian and Jiang Yungu to return the ball, they could still use their almost instinctive body reaction when they were at a disadvantage to save the ball, and did not give the opponent a chance to save the ball.

"Beautiful! It's so beautiful! The last few balls made the commentary hold her breath, and seeing that the last ball was saved by Jiang Yungu, she stood up excitedly.

"Su Nian, who is only 18 years old, and Jiang Yungu, who is only 19 years old, won this game, and this wonderful game let us see the momentum of young players, and they used this victory to tell the world that they are aiming for Tokyo!"

At the end of the commentary, I didn't forget to predict, after all, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is just a year later, and everyone is heading for that battlefield.

Watching the ball land, Su Nian shouted, walked to Jiangyun Valley, the two of them held each other's hands tightly, they defeated themselves, and also rushed towards the championship, in the next game, they will face the Japanese player, the women's doubles combination of Miki Matsumoto and Tomoka Yamashita, which is also the current No. 1 women's doubles combination in the world.

As usual in the post-match interview, "First of all, congratulations to the two of you on winning this game, this game is also very difficult, do you have any gains?" ”

Su Nian slammed Jiang Yungu with his arm, lowered his head and whispered, "You say." ”

Jiang Yungu had no choice but to step forward and approach the microphone, "I think both of us played very well in this game, and the opponent's strength is above us, so we are also prepared for difficulties and fight point by point." ”

Su Nian listened to Jiang Yungu's very official speech, and couldn't help nodding in affirmation, thinking that he would study and study well in the future, and the template for the interview would not be there.

Su Nian was emptying herself, and suddenly, the microphone stretched out in front of Su Nian, and she was startled, "Huh? What? ”

When the reporter saw Su Nian with a confused expression, he couldn't help but be cute, and repeated the question just now, "In the next match, you will play against the world's No. 1 women's doubles, the combination of Miki Matsumoto and Tomoka Yamashita, you have already won Miki Matsumoto once in singles before, how do you plan to prepare this time?" ”

"Well, I think after all, singles and doubles are still different, the opponent's strength is definitely above us, we still have to be prepared for difficulties, eat well and sleep well", and nodded affirmatively to the reporter after speaking.

When the reporter heard the previous answer, he thought that the difficult preparation was to study techniques and tactics, but he didn't expect Su Nian to suddenly come and say eat and sleep well, looking at Su Nian, who was expressing self-affirmation of his answer, he couldn't smile bitterly, and was about to ask again.

Suddenly, a very loud voice from a big brother came from the audience, "Su Nian, come on!" ”。

Su Nian has not gone through this kind of battle, he was blindsided for a while, and the audience was all fans who stayed to watch Su Nian and Jiang Yungu interview, everyone was quietly watching Su Nian in a daze, listening to Su Nian's whimsical answer to the reporter's questions, and suddenly heard the shout of the eldest brother, Su Nian's female fans were not happy to hear it, and shouted loudly: "Su Nian, sister loves you!" ”

This seemed to have aroused the fans' desire to win, and all the spectators who did not leave invariably began to shout, "Su Nian, great", "Jiang Yungu, you are the best", "Su Nian, you are so cute", and even mixed with a "Su Nian, mom loves you", which made the audience who were entering to watch the men's doubles match between Jingxing and Zhang Yi scratch their heads.

For a while, the interview couldn't go on, Su Nian and Jiang Yungu didn't have a red face just after the game, and suddenly they became popular, neither of them knew what to do, they stiffly waved their hands at the audience, and quickly fled the scene, with a slightly hurried pace, so that the fans shouted behind them again, "It's so cute!" ”

Among Su Nian's fans, there are more girls than boys, which is very uncommon in women's table tennis, after all, girls don't like sports much, probably because of Su Nian's cute appearance, coupled with her appearance that does not match her appearance at all, the very strong contrast makes many girls like her, and then like the sport of table tennis, and like the big family of national table tennis.

Su Nian and Jiang Yungu hurriedly packed up their things and walked out of the venue, and met Jing Xing and Zhang Yi who were preparing to enter the venue at the entrance of the venue, they also heard the riot in the audience just now, Jing Xing looked at Su Nian, whose face was still a little red, and said with a smile, "There are a lot of fans", Su Nian saw the banter in Jing Xing's eyes, gave him a blank look, forgot to say it, and pulled Jiang Yungu away.

Jing Xing looked at Su Nian's back, confused, and turned around and asked Zhang Yi, "Angry?" Didn't I say anything? ”
