Chapter 2162: Chapter 2155: Turnaround
Even if Wang Dadong couldn’t beat him, the opponent should still concede a ball.
This is basic respect.
Otherwise, given the level of Huaxia Country’s ping pong athletes, there might be a shaved head scenario in every match.
After all, this is a competition, it can’t be too cruel, or who would compete with you?
"Oh." After hearing Lin Shiyan’s words, Wang Dadong just replied lightly.
Then he said, "Let’s continue."
Park Chang shook his head pityingly.
The third round began.
Park Chang knew he was certain to win, so he started showing off his various skills, badly thrashing Wang Dadong.
1:11!
Ultimately, this round wasn’t a shaved head.
Seeing this scene, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Now they no longer hoped for Wang Dadong to win, just that he wouldn’t be shaved bald again.
Because that would really be a slap in the face.
"I should’ve gone up there myself. Even I wouldn’t be shaved bald," said a male student with decent ping pong skills.
"Are we continuing? If you lose another round, you’re done," Park Chang asked.
"Of course," Wang Dadong replied calmly.
Without feeling that he was close to losing.
"Let’s go, no point in watching, just more thrashing."
"Embarrassment spread all the way to Grandma’s house."
"..."
Many students began to leave.
Because this match had no suspense, Wang Dadong needed to win four rounds in a row to turn the tide.
Never mind four rounds, Wang Dadong couldn’t win even one round, or even one ball, was almost impossible.
But the match continued.
After three rounds, Wang Dadong’s eyes no longer had the initial confusion, replaced by confidence.
Park Chang started to serve, this time, he delivered a backspin ball.
A very tricky backspin ball.
If nothing unexpected happened, Wang Dadong would definitely hit the net.
However, to Park Chang’s surprise, Wang Dadong actually returned the ball.
Just luck.
Park Chang continued to slice, increasing the backspin speed of the ping pong ball.
Wang Dadong had already figured out the pattern of the backspin ball, knowing this ball either had to be returned with a backspin or pulled over.
If sliced over, the opponent would surely return it; only by pulling hard over might the opponent miss it.
So, Wang Dadong chose to pull the ball.
Pop!
Missed the hit.
Just short of the boundary.
0:1.
Seeing Wang Dadong pull the ball, many thought he suddenly exploded, but Wang Dadong just missed.
Instantly lost all hope.
The match continued 0:2!
0:3!
0:4!
"1 to...4!" Wang Dadong finally won a ball.
At least this round wouldn’t be a shaved head again.
Although only winning one ball, Wang Dadong discovered a pattern.
If the ball grazes the edge when hit over, the opponent’s chance of catching it is very small.
Just now Park Chang didn’t hit the ball he sent because it grazed the edge.
This gave him an idea.
If he makes every ball graze the edge, wouldn’t it be easier to win?
Wanting every ball to hit the edge, even the best ping pong players in Huaxia wouldn’t dare boast such a thing.
After all, the opponent’s balls are always spinning and fast; it’s only when luck is exceptionally good that it might hit the edge.
But it’s difficult for others, easy for Wang Dadong.
And through three rounds of matches, he had completely mastered the opponent’s playing pattern.
Fourth round, sixth ball.
Park Chang served.
Wang Dadong tried to graze the edge.
Unfortunately, failed.
Seventh ball.
Failed again.
Eighth ball.
Success!
Finally succeeded.
Score 2:6!
Ninth ball, failed again.
2:7.
As long as Park Chang wins four more balls, Wang Dadong loses.
Tenth ball, Wang Dadong served.
Serving can more easily create edge shots, so Wang Dadong directly succeeded.
3:7!
Eleventh ball.
Edge shot.
4:7!
5:7!
6:7!
7:7!
Every ball, an edge shot!
Wang Dadong actually tied the score.
"Go Brother Dong!"
"We support you!"
"I stand by what I said earlier, if you can beat this Goryeo Stick, I’ll get a restoration, give you the first-time feeling!"
Wang Dadong tied the score, instantly reigniting hope among students who were already despairing, starting to cheer for Wang Dadong.
Even those who had already left started returning one after another.
"Shhh!" Lin Shiyan made a gesture for silence to everyone, she knew it was a critical moment now, can’t give Wang Dadong pressure.
Match continued.
8:7!
8:8!
Wang Dadong made another mistake.
8:9!
8:10!
Perhaps Wang Dadong had bad luck, continuously making several mistakes.
The atmosphere on the field turned heavy again, everyone held their breath.
As long as Wang Dadong loses one more ball, then Wang Dadong loses.
All the previous efforts would be in vain...
9:10!
10:10!
With the score tied again, the air seemed to freeze.
11:10!
Wang Dadong made another edge shot.
But he hasn’t won yet.
Because when the score is 10:10, then, must win two consecutive balls to be winning.
However, at least hope was seen.
11:11!
Park Chang caught up with one ball, the score tied again.
The atmosphere grew more intense.
11:12!
Park Chang won another ball.
Everyone started swallowing their saliva.
Again, only had a chance of one ball.
12:12!
13:12!
"..."
20:20!
Park Chang also began to take it more seriously; he didn’t want Wang Dadong to win one round.
After a series of struggles, the score surprisingly reached 20:20!
Such a score is extremely rare in any match.
After all, ping pong is small ball, the likelihood of mistakes is too high.
41st ball.
Wang Dadong served, edge shot.
By now, Wang Dadong not only can manage to make his ball hit the edge, but could also make the position very tricky, making it nearly impossible for Park Chang to return his ball.
21:20!
42nd, Wang Dadong served, edge shot.
22:20!
Won!
Wang Dadong won!
"Great!"
"Brother Dong is unbeatable!"
"..."
The whole playground was in uproar.
Wang Dadong actually beat Park Chang!
Although it was difficult, but still won.
A crushing victory could never be as exhilarating as an unexpected turnaround.
To know, in four rounds, Wang Dadong was shaved bald two rounds, one round only won a ball.
In the final round, actually turned the defeat into victory.
This, absolutely was a shocking comeback.
Everyone was cheering.
Even Lin Shiyan didn’t know what to say in excitement.
Like suddenly getting billions in financing.
"What’s there to be happy about, it’s just one winning round, as long as our Brother Chang wins one more round, you all still lose!" a Stick Country student sneered.
Only then did people react.
The match is best of seven rounds, Wang Dadong has only won one round.
And Park Chang has already won three rounds!
For Wang Dadong to win, he’d have to win three more rounds in a row!
