Episode 122: Murderous Table Tennis (Various Balls)
Thank you for the reward from zhang is the strongest and feng's slope. Various requests.
"It seems you still haven't given up."
On the scene, the long-haired man looked at Li Xiaobai and smiled, saying.
"I just know you're annoying!"
This guy has been muttering to himself, do you think he's a magician or something, reciting a few spells and his opponent will disappear into thin air? At this point, Li Xiaobai ignored him, took the racket and walked away in another direction.
It's time for sides to be switched.
The second game serves from the other side of the court.
The first serve was made by the long-haired man, but he seemed to show off and came up with a high toss serve.
The slowly falling ping-pong ball brushed past the racket, around the net, and flew rapidly towards Li Xiaobai.
Topspin forehand!
Bang!
Li Xiaobai didn't think twice and swung his racket with great force.
The ball almost fell on the line and into the court, so fast that the long-haired man didn't even have time to react.
Good luck!
"This guy is too lucky, isn't he?"
The deputy head of Guo Qiu She said with some relief.
"It's just," said Guo Jing, who didn't quite understand table tennis, "if I hit a ball that just grazes the edge, my opponent won't be able to return it."
“……”
"Xīn'ér tóngxué, nǐ zěnme kàn?"
Translation: "Xiner fellow student, how do you see it?"
The number one men's singles is a connoisseur, who thinks that although the ball has an element of luck, it also has the factor of high art and boldness.
Seeing Xia Xiner didn't speak, he asked a sentence.
"It's indeed a lucky ball, but this time, he thoroughly let go."
Although this ball was very difficult, Xia Xinger saw that Li Xiaobai had consciously taken the initiative to take action.
Indeed, Li Xiaobai thoroughly let go.
The reason for losing in the previous game is that I was a little nervous.
In the past, although he had honed himself very hard, but most of it was in a one-man situation.
This game was also a spectator sport for many people, and at first he was a bit unaccustomed.
Two, he underestimated his opponent.
Of course, the most important thing is to follow the opponent's rhythm and play ball.
This is a phenomenon that should only occur with slice players. In any case, each ball is sliced back and waits for an opportunity to counterattack.
But he is not a slicing hand, and should not see the move to dismantle, but should take the initiative to be strong, and grab the first three beats is the king.
As long as one's abilities are sufficient, they will no longer be belittled by others and can act freely.
Luckily, the long-haired man did not give up. When he served again, he ambushed with a long ball.
Generally, a skilled player will rarely hit a long shot because as soon as the ball leaves the table, the opponent has an opportunity to counterattack. However, the long-haired man is also aware of this and deliberately adds spin, still backspin.
Bang!
But Li Xiaobai made a sideways move, as if he had been prepared for this, and with his right hand holding the racket horizontally, he stretched out his right arm and then immediately pulled it back! This ball pursued a straight line and fell on the opponent's backhand, leaving the long-haired man helpless once again.
It's indeed the case, Li Xiaobai thought with some complacency. The decisive male lead of Shafa is more popular than a nagging good man, so I'll work towards this direction from now on.
Of course, in reality, it's better not to be too decisive and ruthless, that can lead to big trouble.
Li Xiaobai scored two goals in a row, and it's already 2:0.
"Go for it, Li Xiaobai! Li Xiaobai, go for it!"
After a moment of silence in the venue, Song Ke Xin and others finally reacted, shouting and cheering with excitement.
On the contrary, the classmates of the experimental high school who were originally arrogant fell silent.
Finally, the long-haired man's complexion changed a bit, and his image no longer had that beautiful feeling of flowing hair. He didn't expect that in this situation, Li Xiaobai would launch a direct attack on him with his ball, especially after he used that special move.
Bang, bang, bang.
Gently patting the ball on the table, Li Xiaobai glanced at his opponent and directly served with an underarm serve.
Long-haired man directly returned with a slant!
Idiot, you seem to have forgotten the greatest advantage of being a top candidate!
Without looking, following his instincts, Li Xiaobai threw a backhand arc shot.
Bang.
This ball even directly hit the long-haired man's hand and bounced back.
In Guo Jing's sigh of "This guy is even luckier than Li Xiaobai", Li Xiaobai slammed the ball heavily again.
The originally light ping-pong ball suddenly emitted a thunderous sound, bouncing on the opponent's shore and jumping up again, heading straight for the long-haired man's face!
"Ahhh..."
Then the long-haired man's miserable cry echoed throughout the ballroom!
Everyone was speechless for a moment, he shouted too exaggeratedly, it's just a ping-pong ball hitting his face, it won't hurt that much. Not to mention the students who followed him from No. 1 Middle School, even the students of Experimental High School felt embarrassed after hearing the long-haired boy's exaggerated shouting.
However, some of those who often played ball seemed to have noticed something and immediately looked at the long-haired man's face.
His face was bleeding...
It was unclear who shouted it out first, but then everyone saw that on the right cheek of the long-haired man in the venue, there was a streak of blood flowing slowly. The trend wasn't big, but its appearance on the somewhat pale face of the long-haired man was still a bit eerie!
Li Xiaobai also stopped his actions.
"What's going on? How did he suddenly get blood on his face?" Guo Jing asked in a somewhat bewildered tone.
"Hmm... earlier when the ping-pong ball landed on the table, that sound was a bit piercing, right? That proves that under Li Xiaobai's powerful smash, the ping-pong ball developed a crack. It seems that the rebounding ping-pong ball hit his opponent's face, and the point of contact just happened to be at the cracked part of the ball, which scratched his face." Number one male single explained to Guo Jing.
"Ah, isn't this just murderous table tennis? Li Xiaobai is so evil!"
Guo Jing had seen an anime called "The Prince of Tennis", where the balls hit out were simply inhuman.
I didn't expect Li Xiaobai to accomplish this feat with ease either, he's... amazing!
An accident occurred, and the game was temporarily suspended. Immediately, a female cheerleader from Shiyan Experimental High School treated Long Hair Boy's injury.
It was supposed to be a treatment for his injury, but in reality, they just stuck a band-aid on the long-haired man's cheek.
"Are you okay?" Li Xiaobai walked up to the long-haired man and asked.
How could this unexpected thing be caused by oneself? After muttering a sentence that the quality of ping-pong balls is really poor, Li Xiaobai still decided to show some concern for the other party, regardless of whether he appreciated it or not. After all, when a master wins, they always say a word of concession, and one can't fall behind.
"Get out of here."
The long-haired man saw Li Xiaobai coming over and pushed him away with his elbow, glaring at him.
Under the stimulation of blood and energy, Li Xiaobai almost smashed his racket into the long-haired man's face.
Since you've ruined my appearance, then ruin it thoroughly for me.
It was easy for Li Xiaobai to control his anger, he threw the racket on the shore and walked back to the rest area.
"Li Xiaobai, you're awesome."
"Good job."
"I've had it in for that guy for a long time."
……
After sitting down, it was rare to see that everyone from Guo Qiu She had a very relieved look on their faces.
This is self-praise, Li Xiaobai thought strangely.
Is this kind of talk always going on in your own ears, or is something wrong with that place?
After all, this feeling has not appeared for many years, and suddenly it comes out, just like a girl who has not spoken to you for a long time suddenly confesses to you, the probability of the boy being directly stunned is higher, right?
Well, I'm not that kind of guy who doesn't have any backbone either. When someone gives me a compliment, yeah, just accept it calmly.
Experimental High School rest area, long-haired boy over there, several girls surrounded him, asking about his well-being.
Despite this, the long-haired man still had a gloomy face.
That was really embarrassing just now, too embarrassing. I didn't even subconsciously dodge and let the ping-pong ball hit my face, and my skin is even pierced.
After a while, the long-haired man's complexion finally looked a bit better as he spun rapidly in his mind.
One of the beauties in the Lala team whispered a few words into his ear, and the long-haired man's eyes flashed with cold light.
"This... isn't good, is it?" The beautiful cheerleader from Experimental High School said with some difficulty.
"If you help me this time, I can consider going on a date with you."
"Th...that's fine." The girl suddenly became excited.
……
During the break, members of both teams wiped the floor a bit.
After re-entering the stage, the long-haired man looked at Li Xiaobai, and a smile appeared again at the corner of his mouth.
Li Xiaobai was completely at a loss, this person is even more abnormal than Guo Jing.
Although Guo Jingxi's angry expression changed rapidly, it was still understandable. But this person Li Xiaobai couldn't grasp what the other party was thinking at all.
Kong Cheng Ji, is it a confusing technique or what?
Forget it, guessing his thoughts would be just what he wants.
My goal is to win the game, whatever they think.
"Something seems off..."
After continuing the match, Li Xiaobai was immersed in the game, but as a bystander, Xia Xier noticed something.
"What's wrong?" asked the deputy commander in confusion, "Li Xiaobai is about to take down this game soon."
On the field, Li Xiaobai was another killer, directly hitting his opponent without giving them any chance to fight back.
At this time, the cheerleading squad of Experimental High School had long since ceased their cheering and sat down thoroughly.
It was obvious to everyone that the two were competing, and Li Xiaobai had completely taken the upper hand.
"It's not that simple," Xia Xiner said firmly. "You see how the other side plays, he clearly knows that as long as he gives Li Xiaobai an opportunity, he'll dare to take it and his hit rate isn't low either. So why does he keep doing this? The opponent's basic skills are in place, there's no reason for the quality of each return ball to be so low every time. Moreover, you have to know that Li Xiaobai has already gotten a feel for it, several times when he returned the ball, it just happened to land right on Li Xiaobai's forehand side, making it convenient for him to hit the ball, isn't this very strange?"
Reminded by Xia Xiner, the deputy group leader also noticed it.
Every time the long-haired man returns Li Xiaobai to his forehand position after one or two decent backhands, and it's still a non-spinning deep ball, this kind of ball is too easy to handle, what's going on?
"Li Xiaobai, be careful!"
In a flash of inspiration, Xia Xiang'er suddenly remembered something and stood up, shouting loudly.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Seeing another easy-to-handle pass, Li Xiaobai quickly moved his footsteps to the right side.
No matter what you think, as long as I win...
Hmph...
No good!
Li Xiaobai secretly felt something was off, but he was already powerless to do anything about it.
Because the movement was too fast, a little water stain was stepped on, and suddenly, the foot slipped like a scallion, and the body lost its balance and fell down.
Why is there sweat... I didn't even sweat much myself?
At the moment of falling, this was Li Xiaobai's only thought.
"Li Xiaobai..."
A scream erupted and the students of Class 1 directly ran towards the stage.
