Chapter 2161: Chapter 2154: Humiliation
"There’s still 7 minutes left." Park Chang kindly reminded Wang Dadong.
Because Wang Dadong didn’t even know the basic techniques of ping-pong, Lin Shiyan had to start teaching him from scratch.
"This is a backspin ball. When you hit it, the ball sinks down. If the opponent can’t counter the backspin, then their ball will hit the net..."
Watching Lin Shiyan teach Wang Dadong from the very basics, many people began to sweat nervously.
Turns out this guy really doesn’t know how...
Not just Lin Shiyan; even other students thought Wang Dadong was just pretending.
But when they saw Wang Dadong listening intently, they realized Wang Dadong was genuinely learning how to play ping-pong!
A beginner challenging a ping-pong expert?
Is this a joke?
"Hey, can you even do this? It’s bad enough if you end up losing and humiliating yourself, but don’t make us lose face too!"
"Exactly! With a banner out there, how will Jiangdu University stand in the academy thereafter?"
"Why not just admit defeat now, at least it won’t be as embarrassing..."
The Huaxia students had no hope for Wang Dadong at all.
It’s like a baby insisting on arm wrestling an adult.
Even if they use all their strength, there’s no way to beat an adult.
In the end, if only Wang Dadong kneels and admits defeat, it might be acceptable, but the school would also suffer humiliation.
After all, once that banner is unfurled, the entire reputation of Jiangdu University would be destroyed.
At this time, even Lin Shiyan began to regret her decision, regretting that she shouldn’t have scratched that itch to play ping-pong.
As a result, it caused such a commotion.
If handled poorly, it might damage the school’s reputation, and even affect the nation’s pride.
Wang Dadong listened carefully, asking questions whenever he didn’t understand.
"You have one minute left."
Ten minutes was really too short; after Lin Shiyan explained the techniques, there was practically no time left for Wang Dadong to practice.
Playing ping-pong isn’t just about knowing some theories; practice is vital.
After all, things like angle, force, and timing are only comprehensible and can’t be conveyed through words.
Not only the other students, even Lin Shiyan didn’t have any hope that Wang Dadong could win.
"Time’s up. If you haven’t learned yet, I could give you another ten minutes," Park Chang said, pretending to be generous.
To display his magnanimity.
But Wang Dadong replied, "No need, let’s start now."
"Dadao, why don’t you just admit defeat? You can’t possibly win..." Lin Shiyan tried to persuade Wang Dadong.
After all, even though Wang Dadong listened to so much theory, he hasn’t even served a single ball yet.
But Wang Dadong was as stubborn as a bull; once he made a decision, he wouldn’t change easily.
"Alright then, we’ll follow international match rules, with a best-of-seven format. Prepare for your demise." Park Chang didn’t take Wang Dadong seriously at all.
"Okay." Wang Dadong picked up the paddle, agreeing to Park Chang’s rules.
"I’ll let you serve first." Park Chang generously offered for Wang Dadong to serve first.
Wang Dadong picked up the ping-pong ball and served, following Lin Shiyan’s teachings.
Pop!
Hit the net.
First serve failed.
Then the second serve.
Pop!
Hit the net again.
"Oh!"
"It’s over!"
"Huaxia’s disgrace!"
Watching Wang Dadong’s first two serves hit the net, everyone was shaking their heads and sighing.
It seems the opponent just waits for Wang Dadong to fail at serving.
Then it’s Park Chang’s turn to serve.
Park Chang casually served the ball, without adding any spin.
Bang!
Wang Dadong’s paddle connected with the ping-pong ball, and it flew out like a cannonball.
Missed.
Park Chang’s eyes showed more amusement; with Wang Dadong’s skill level, he could win with his eyes closed.
Park Chang served the second ball.
This time it wasn’t a miss, but the force was too weak, failing to cross the net.
0:4!
Four balls, Wang Dadong didn’t win a single one.
Not only did he not win, it was like he didn’t know how to play ping-pong at all.
How could he possibly win?
Time for Wang Dadong to serve.
This time it finally got over the net, but it was a miss.
Serve again, another miss.
0:6!
Seeing this score, everyone was in despair.
"Bragging about playing when he can’t, now he’s trapped himself!"
"He’s bound to lose."
"If he wins, I’ll strip down and run naked!" The girl who previously said she would give Wang Dadong her "first" was even shaking her head in despair.
The seventh ball, Wang Dadong finally caught it.
But unfortunately, Park Chang casually hit a spin ball, and Wang Dadong missed again.
The eighth ball.
The ninth ball.
...
Park Chang began to showcase his ping-pong skills, with various spins and angles.
Wang Dadong couldn’t catch a single one.
The first game ended.
0:11!
Wang Dadong got a bald head!
In ping-pong matches, if you lose all eleven balls, it’s known as getting a bald head.
Playing ping-pong, the worst thing is getting a bald head.
Thus, even if Huaxia’s ping-pong players are very strong, they would let the opponent win one ball, otherwise it’s just too humiliating.
But clearly, Park Chang wanted to humiliate Wang Dadong.
So he mercilessly gave Wang Dadong a bald head.
Actually, even if he eased up, Wang Dadong would still be doomed.
Lin Shiyan’s face looked a bit ugly. Getting a bald head in ping-pong is indeed very shameful.
"Too weak!"
"Can’t play ping-pong at all."
"Is this the level of ping-pong as a national sport? In our country, even a three-year-old plays better than you."
Stick Country’s students laughed loudly, constantly mocking.
Huaxia’s students pounded their chests in anguish, displaying a look of unbearable suffering.
The second game began.
Wang Dadong’s situation improved slightly, but it wasn’t much better than the first game.
Final score, 0:11!
Another bald head!
Getting a bald head twice in a row is absolutely humiliating.
"Dadao, why don’t I do it." Lin Shiyan couldn’t watch anymore.
Even though her chances of defeating Park Chang were almost zero, she didn’t want Wang Dadong to continue being humiliated.
After all, being bald once is already quite shameful, let alone being bald twice.
If she went up, even if she couldn’t win, the opponent wouldn’t likely give her a bald head.
"No need." Wang Dadong shook his head, his expression still calm.
It seemed like he didn’t even understand what getting a bald head meant.
"You’re going again? If you continue, you’ll just keep getting bald heads." Park Chang was already too lazy to bully Wang Dadong.
Too weak.
Weaker than the most hopeless novice.
Couldn’t even catch a ball, let alone talk about technique.
"Bald head? What does that mean?" Wang Dadong asked confusedly.
"This guy doesn’t even know what a bald head means..."
"Bro, can you stop playing dumb!"
"..."
Everyone was speechless.
"It means losing all eleven balls, which is a taboo in ping-pong matches. Our country’s athletes, even if they crush the opponent, wouldn’t let all eleven balls be lost. Dadao, he’s insulting you," Lin Shiyan explained angrily.
