Small goals, first to be the world's first [Competition]

Chapter 181 Olympic Games - Singles semi-final Zhong Yu vs Samuel Mancini

The second ball is still Samuel's right to serve.

Zhong Yu threw the ball to Samuel, Samuel reached out to catch it, grabbed the ball with his slender fingers, flicked it on the table a few times, thoughtfully.

Before the referee reminded them that the interval was too long, Samuel put away all the expressions on his face, squatted down lightly, and assumed a serve posture.

The reason why he fell into a passive position so quickly in the last ball was because his thoughts were figured out by that guy Zhong Yu, and he was a little too anxious. He will not make such low-level mistakes again in the next ball.

He's a chipper, and the last thing a chipper needs is patience.

Samuel has always been an eagle crouching in the dark waiting for his prey to take the bait, not a stupid wolf like Enoch who would be fooled and not turn back without bumping into the south wall.

The opponent was Zhong Yu, and Samuel was not as calm and strategizing as he looked on the surface, and he even lost his composure just now, but that was all.

Samuel Mancini calmed down and threw the ball high.

It is really thrown high, higher than normal high throws, about two or three meters high.

Normal people can't catch the ball when they throw it so high. This kind of serve needs to be practiced hard.

"Super high toss serve!" The front swing of this kind of serve is a bit long, so Chen Fei took advantage of this time to quickly explain the characteristics of this serve.

"The speed and spin of the ball on such a serve is very fast, and it is difficult to judge the specific spin because of the high throw."

Fade Chen almost finished speaking without panting, and the small white ball in the arena also fell from the sky.

Touch the ball, hit the ball.

Samuel still controlled the landing point at the center line of the table on Zhongyu's side, but this time it was a little to the right of the center line.

The ball was very spiny, and it was side-spin, but whether it was top-spin or under-spin, Zhong Yu knew it, but he was not very sure.

So to be on the safe side, Zhong Yu stretched out his hand, slashed his backhand and stretched it back, still controlling the landing point.

At that moment, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhong Yu's heart, but in the extremely tense game, only for a moment, Zhong Yu temporarily put this doubt to the back of his mind, calmed down, retracted the action of smashing the ball just now, and returned to the game. Defense, waiting for Samuel's return.

The ball hit Samuel's backhand position. According to Zhong Yu's speculation, Samuel should have a high probability of cutting the ball back, and then entered into a confrontation of cutting the ball. Therefore, while taking back the action, Zhong Yu took two steps back , leaving room for the fishing ball.

However, the next moment his pupils shrank suddenly.

No one thought that, as a chipper, Samuel Mancini didn't plan to slice the ball at all.

How to play the backhand long ball attack?

Twist and pull with a backhand, or pull the ball sideways.

In fact, Samuel had already predicted where Zhong Yu hit this ball. He could have turned sideways in advance to pull the ball, but he didn't. Samuel knew very well that if he turned sideways in advance, it would definitely arouse Zhong Yu's vigilance , and his ball is about to hit a surprise.

So the long ball that came back from Zhong Yu bounced off Samuel's table and fell under the table. Whether it was the audience from God's perspective or Zhong Yu on the opposite side of Samuel's table, they all thought Samuel would come back with a cut, and even when Zhong Yu took a step back to prevent Samuel from turning around quietly under the table, Samuel suddenly moved.

Under the table top of the ball table, this is a place that Zhong Yu on the opposite side cannot see, and it is also the best place where you can use your hands and feet, play some tactics, and surprise you.

Samuel used to like to secretly add spin to the ball in this place or even directly change the spin of the ball to catch the opponent off guard, but this time, Samuel was even more bold.

The position under the table is not a comfortable position for backhand twisting.

But it was such an impossibility that Samuel wanted to do it all the more.

Samuel lowered his center of gravity, and his body squatted and leaned back greatly, almost looking like he was about to fall down.

At this moment, Samuel tightened his wrists, exerted strength in his waist, abdomen and core, and brought the ball up fiercely.

——The backhand overlord twists.

The arc of the ball was extremely low, and it almost flew over the net. It landed near the net on the side of Zhongyu's table and bounced.

There was a "bang", the sound was not very loud, but it seemed to hit everyone's heart.

Zhong Yu had already retreated several steps from the stage, even though he had started to rush forward at a rapid speed, he could not catch up.

So after the "bang", there were several more sounds one after another, one sound lighter than the other, and finally the ball rolled down from the edge of the table and landed on the ground, the sound turned into a "pop", and the radio equipment could not pick up the sound. .

Zhong Yu didn't catch the ball.

The score on the big screen at the back of the arena also jumped from 1:0 to 1:1.

The auditorium in the arena, including the netizens who watched the live broadcast of the game through the Internet outside the arena, all opened their mouths and fell into absolute silence.

In the silence, Zhong Yu stabilized his body, looked at the ball that fell to the ground, and smiled softly.

The audience at the scene couldn't hear the chuckle, but it was picked up by the radio equipment and passed to the ears of netizens in the live broadcast room.

Netizens were shocked and suddenly came back to their senses.

[Fuck, what's going on? ? ! ! ! 】

[The start of the second game is too exciting, I'm already stupid]

[No, backhand overlord? ?You call that a chipper? ? 】

[Fuck, I'm the only one who thinks Zhong Yu's chuckle sounds good, shashahaha]

[No, you lost the game, brother, what are you laughing at? Are you mad from anger? 】

Of course Zhong Yu was not mad with anger, he was just a little surprised, a little enlightened, and a little excited.

I've been fooled, Zhong Yu thought to himself.

He knew what the doubt in his heart was. Samuel had let him hack this ball on purpose, just for the next attack.

Samuel has been playing chipping for so many years, everyone regards him as a complete chipper, but everyone seems to have forgotten that the rubber of Samuel's racket is not used by normal chippers Positive glue or long glue, but reverse glue on both sides.

Reverse rubber on both sides is not the most suitable style of play for chipping, but it is the most suitable rubber for offense.

Samuel Mancini has never been a staid and conservative chipper, he has been dormant and never let go of any offensive opportunity, the eagle soaring in the sky, chopping the ball, just to create offensive opportunities for himself means only.

If a great offensive opportunity is in front of him, Samuel can abandon his usual chopping style without hesitation and choose to attack directly.

Just like the ball just now.

Zhong Yu's chuckle just now was also a reaction. Although he had been vigilant in his heart before, he was still bound by those stereotypes, which led to the end of the ball.

Samuel Mancini, the guy, is a real liar.

Zhong Yu looked away from the ball on the ground, looked at Samuel opposite, and saw that the man raised his eyebrows at him triumphantly.

Tsk, what a bad character.

The corners of Zhong Yu's lips curled up a little more, and he looked away from Samuel, looking at the referee, and spread his big hands, signaling the referee to throw another ball over.

For the second ball, even Fade Chen was stunned for a moment, then he quickly came back to his senses and explained it to the still confused netizens.

Fade Chen retired for more than two years, and Samuel made his debut for more than three years. However, Fade Chen participated in fewer and fewer competitions during the two years after his retirement. The big man who has played for so many years, after watching this ball, coupled with his previous understanding, Chen Fei immediately saw through the essence of Samuel's style of play.

"Samuel Mancini is not a chipper in the general sense." Fade Chen sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "Samuel Mancini can win so many games, can hit as many as The No. [-] in the world does not rely on pure cutting, but his attack by surprise during the cutting, and he does not hesitate to seize the opportunity to attack. His double-sided rubber is doomed to not rely on cutting. His The trump card is always the offense."

"What Samuel Mancini is best at is to seize the opportunity, seize the opportunity, and seize the opponent's loopholes. As long as he seizes the opportunity to win, he will attack without hesitation. Cutting the ball is just his It's just an aid."

Fade Chen explained it simply and clearly. Netizens also understood it.

[Good guy, I understand, the emotional beauty is a smiling tiger, and he understands the trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. 】

[It’s not like pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. There were many opponents who lost in the chopping ball before. 】

[Smile, you do some calculations, I will come back, never retreat a single step, and the enemy is not like this, are these friends who have a good relationship, I love [doge]]

[Absolutely a bad friend, my brother and I also cheat each other like this every day ()]

[Ahem, ahem, it's time for Zhongyu's serve! 】

In the first two goals of the second game, the two calculated each other without hesitation, and each scored a point, which instantly pushed the tense atmosphere of this semi-final to the highest point, and also raised the expectations of the audience. Got to the top.

But the peak cannot last for a whole game. After the first two goals tested the attitude of the opponent, starting from the third goal, the game seemed to become normal again.

It doesn't seem so normal.

Samuel used to like to mobilize (tease) his opponents with fishing balls that change from left to right, but this time the situation seems to be reversed.

In terms of control of the landing point, Zhong Yu has absolute confidence in himself, not to mention that he said before the start of this round that he will catch Samuel to death in this round, so he will naturally fulfill his promise.

Zhong Yu seemed to be the operator of the puppet, with a silk thread attached to his finger, and the other end of the thread was connected to the white ball flying on the table.

It was not just a simple change of line left and right to catch the ball, Zhong Yu directly manipulated the table tennis ball and drew a circle on Samuel's side of the table.
