Lin Hui came to the competition stage, and the legendary Johnson, who was more powerful, was already on stage.
Lin Hui glanced at the opponent seriously. Is this the person who is about to win the Grand Slam?
Judging from his appearance, he is still very young and cannot tell that he has ten years of experience. However, Coach Wu clearly told him that he was about to face someone with a ten-year playing career.
It seems that like Lin Hui, he joined the national team at a relatively young age.
Just when Lin Hui looked at Johnson seriously, Johnson glanced at him fiercely. Such a look made Lin Hui feel that there was contempt in his eyes.
He was doubting that someone who had never participated in an international competition actually wanted to compete with him. Is it just for nothing that he had won gold medals and was soft-hearted for many years? !
Lin Hui's eyes quickly averted. This was the aura of a king, exuding brilliance from body to bottom, making Lin Hui feel that the person in front of him must be extraordinary.
But so what, he was afraid of not wearing shoes if he didn't wear shoes, so he would be done with it.
Lin Hui began to ignore Johnson's presence and continued to move his muscles.
Johnson, who was moving opposite, stopped. Most people were very afraid of him, but the young man in front of him actually glanced at him. Johnson didn't see any fear in Lin Hui's eyes, only a trace of curiosity.
Damn it, just send such a young guy to play against him? Does this country look down on people? Still don't know the existence of people like him, that's too much.
Wait, let him see what ceiling play is.
Later, Johnson thought about it again, should this young boy come to play to give away his head? Otherwise, why would such an unknown person be sent to play with him.
Just as Johnson was analyzing it carefully, the referee's horn sounded.
After a few minutes, the referee continued to wave his hands to indicate the start of the game.
The serving defense was played by Johnson again.
Lin Hui leaned forward, bent over, and paid attention to the front with bright eyes.
boom---
Lin Hui dropped the ball on the ground before he could see clearly how it was released. He didn't even have a chance to play against Johnson.
Just now, Lin Hui clearly watched Johnson's ball being sent directly in front of him. He also caught the ball as quickly as possible. It was obvious that his hand had already been stretched out, but it was just a little bit short, but the ball still landed.
How could there be such an amazing serving speed? It was so fast that he could hardly see the position of the ball. For the first time, Lin Hui felt a little pressure. He failed to catch the first ball at the beginning. This is for an athlete. It's a huge shame.
Lin Hui raised his head and glanced at Johnson, with a proud smile on his face. Lin Hui could see that his eyes were full of contempt for him.
Lin Hui couldn't help but frowned.
Then he raised his left fist and said, "Come on, you can do it, you have no problem."
Lin Hui stared forward, always staring at Johnson's hand in front of him. If nothing else happened, he should serve the same as before.
This is the normal thinking of ordinary people. As long as the first serve is successful, the second and third balls will be consecutive until he fails. Lin Hui couldn't explain the principle of this, but most people do this.
If nothing else, Johnson will still serve like this.
Lin Hui focused all his attention on his right hand, waiting for Johnson's serve at any time.
It was still the same speed as before, or even a little faster than before. Lin Hui didn't notice this time.
Lin Hui was about to stretch out his right hand, and the ball had already touched the ball, but it was still just so close.
How could this happen? Lin Hui was a little puzzled. He obviously saw it very accurately, but why was it just a little off? The sweat on Lin Hui's forehead couldn't help but seep out.
2:0
This is too tragic. This is the worst opening shot Lin Hui has ever played. He was instantly killed before he even started. This is really a great humiliation.
At this time, he saw Johnson's triumphant smile, yes, it was the kind of smile that made people look very uncomfortable.
If Lin Hui fails to catch the next ball, it will be 3:0, which will be recorded in history.
Lin Hui's brows were frowning even more than before. From the beginning to the end, Lin Hui's nerves were tense.
Beads of sweat appeared in the palm of my hand, soaking the handle of the table tennis racket.
Lin Hui casually wiped the sweat from his palms onto his clothes, then wiped the handle as well. When he finished wiping, he didn't forget to lower his head and kiss the racket.
An athlete's racket is his life. The racket can bring him glory and also bring him an end.
Lin Hui never forgot that the racket was everything to him. He whispered, "Old man, it's up to you. You and I have traveled so many places, and it's up to you to clean up the shame of today. Come on!"
Lin Hui squatted for a while, staring ahead. This time he wanted to speed up.
Johnson tested the bouncing strength of the ball back and forth on the table tennis table. Then he threw the ball high into the sky and sent the ball to Lin Hui with a 360-degree spin.
Lin Hui was stunned. He didn't serve like this just now. Why did he change his strategy? Last time, Lin Hui was almost able to counterattack. This time, the serve actually changed. This was something Lin Hui never expected. He missed again.
3:0
disastrous defeat
Without making any moves, Lin Hui just sent three balls incomprehensibly. Moreover, he didn't make any moves during the whole process and didn't even have a chance to touch the ball.
No, he didn't touch the ball the first time. He touched the ball the second time and hit the edge. The third time, he climbed on the table and hit the ball to the outside.
His embarrassing actions would definitely make others laugh to death. It didn't matter to others, Lin Hui himself felt very miserable. He felt completely ashamed.
How much courage he had before taking the field has paid such a heavy price now.
Lin Hui told Coach Wu that I can definitely beat Johnson. Just now in the locker room, he said to Oda Haruno with arrogant teeth that no one could beat Johnson without his presence. It's okay now, he actually showed up and was caught off guard by others. It looks good now, that damn Oda Murano must be secretly enjoying himself somewhere, covering his mouth.
Lin Hui looked at the audience around him, and sometimes he could hear the audience saying, "It's really embarrassing. I can't catch three balls. No matter what ball I play, I won't lose everything if I go up and play."
"Are you sure you're here to play ball? Aren't you here to make us laugh?"
"At this level, you can go down by yourself, no matter what kind of ball you play."
But the speech on stage said: "Johnson has remained the same as before and is an eternal pine standing in the East.
You are sparkling all over and we are obsessed with you and crazy about you!
You are the everlasting fire in our hearts. "
Listening to such perfect words, Lin Hui felt very lonely, and his whole mood was extremely bad.
He never expected that he would be vulnerable and weak in front of Johnson, and he gave it to him in the first game for nothing.
Lin Hui was unwilling to accept it. After all, he was also a secret weapon cultivated by the national team, but they nipped it in the bud.
If he goes back now, how will he face Jianhua, Xiaoxiao, Li Yu and the others, and coach Xu.
When thinking of Coach Xu, Lin Hui thought of what Coach Xu said: "Strong enemies also have weaknesses, but as long as you don't give up, face it positively, and regard yourself as a sharp sword, even the strongest enemy will be afraid of it." Three points.”
Thinking of himself as a sharp sword, he should be at one with people and the ball, in a state of selflessness.
He was too nervous just now and let the other party beat him into a trap. He has been in a passive position.
The next time he changes serve, he must take advantage of this time and regard himself as a sharp sword, a menacing sword. I don't believe that no one will be afraid of a sharp sword.
Lin Hui is not afraid of the opinions of others now. He just needs to believe that he can do it, that he is the best, and that he can do it.
His sharp eyes stared at the enemy in front of him.
Johnson, who was still laughing just now, was still disdainful when Lin Hui cast him a look of hatred.
Johnson has experienced big and small competitions, and he has never seen any scenes. Some people are jealous of him, some hate him, and some are ridiculing him.
After all, the game is cruel, if you don’t lose, I will lose.
There is no human kindness on the playing field, and Lin Hui's gaze has long been used to it.
The referee's horn sounded again.
Now that the game has entered a fever pitch, Lin Hui's chance to make a comeback depends on the second game. If he doesn't win this game, it will be a bit difficult to get back.
Lin Hui held the ball in his hand and gently rotated it, thinking silently, Come on, I can do it.
Then he threw the ball gently, and passed it to the opposite side the moment it fell. There was no technical content at all, just a simple serve, without any tricks.
The simpler something is, the better it is, but the more complicated it is, the more energy it consumes.
Of course, a simple ball is easy for the opponent. Of course, Johnson easily caught the ball thrown by Lin Hui without any effort at all. It was the same as playing with a child. Johnson actually thought that he was playing with him. It's at the level of a child.
Where is this, the World Table Tennis Championships, how could such a low-level player be sent out? He has no problems at all in this year's Grand Slam. When he thinks of this, he is in a good mood, so he will fight with this young man and let him go. It's not too satisfying for him to lose, which makes people think that he is a great general bullying a young general.
Lin Hui saw Johnson letting his guard down a little. He felt that his chance had come. Coach Wu had told him to let him down on purpose and win back by surprise when he relaxed.
Lin Hui could see that Johnson was playing without any intention at all and was just dealing with him casually, so he also wanted to make Johnson think that he was playing very hard.
This made him understand that the disparity between them was extremely large.
Lin Hui specially had a tug-of-war with Johnson in this game. When Johnson won a ball, he used all his strength to win back a ball. Seeing that the score was always chasing each other.
Johnson actually looked distracted in his clothes, as if he was playing Tai Chi with Lin Hui and Lin Hui was nuzzling him to relax.
Bang, lead by one.
This was nothing to Johnson, who won it back on the next play.
But the expectation was not what he thought. Lin Hui still pretended to be very strenuous and tried his best to win the ball.
That's right, Lin Hui is already 2 balls ahead.
Johnson's expression became more focused, and he was two balls ahead. He could win the next ball back with his eyes closed, so let this kid have fun for a while.
When following the ball, Lin Hui no longer acted hard, but restored his previous concentration, focusing all his energy on the third ball.
As long as this ball wins, he will win the second game. In this way, he and Johnson are tied at 1:1, and he has a chance to win.
Lin Hui looked at Johnson on the opposite side. Although he was very relaxed, he became a little more vigilant after losing two balls in a row. It was obvious that his vigilance was not very high.
Lin Hui wants to strike while the iron is hot. Before he notices it, he wants to make a quick decision on the third ball.
With a bang, the ball came out with a perfect arc. It was a short ball. Lin Hui heard Coach Wu say that Johnson was best at long balls, so he should play short balls.
Any short ball could make Johnson lose the third ball. When Johnson saw that the ball served was a short ball, his head ached.
What he hates the most is this kind of ball. Playing this kind of ball on the playing field can most easily bring out the ugly side of his life, especially the reporters who will take photos of his embarrassment when playing short balls and send them to newspapers.
Every time, he gets angry when he sees the ugly photos of himself.
It's not because he doesn't play well, it's because when playing short ball, he needs to stretch his arms and legs, and sometimes jog, to complete such a series of actions. After their camera reporters took the photos, they became confused.
Johnson stretched out his hand like a gentleman, just right. It was a good move and shouldn't be too ugly.
Lin Hui saw why Johnson was so stiff when hitting the short ball, and his whole body seemed to be a beat and a half slow.
If that's the case, will his speed still slow down when he hits a ball, or will he be so stiff? If so, then his shortcoming is the short ball.
Lin Hui once again tried to serve a short ball, and the action he saw was exactly the same as before.
Great, this is really too short.
It seems that he saved it again this time. Unexpectedly, a player who has won several times in a row has his shortcomings in playing short balls.
It would not be obvious to other players because the speed of playing short balls is also very fast. At that moment, Lin Hui could tell from Johnson's facial expression and his speed that he hates playing short balls.
When Lin Hui served the ball, he saw Johnson's eyebrows frowning out of the corner of his eye. Even though it only lasted for a second, Lin Hui still caught it.
Coach Wu is indeed right, there is no one without weaknesses, just grasp his weaknesses and take advantage of his shortcomings.
Since Lin Hui already knows Johnson's shortcomings, he can focus on his weaknesses and attack them.
A smile flashed across Lin Hui's face.
