Transmigrating into a Book: Beating Up the Little Tyrant Today

On May 26th, the World Table Tennis Federation Direct Qualifying Tournament Nanyang Station began, and Sasha Datou played in the first round on the first day.

This is the first time that no pairings have been made since Qatar.

The first round of the group stage featured Ma Te Liu Fei, the mixed doubles champion from the previous Xinxiang qualifying tournament.

The Nanyang station is a gathering place for top talents, and many geniuses have come here. Sha Tou has to fight hard for more than just the finals.

Da Tou doubted himself for a long time and hesitated to make a move, resulting in his loss in the first round.

After losing the game 0-2, Da Tou stood silently on the sidelines.

He thought it was going to be a thrilling comeback, the first shot in their reunion on the field.

Unexpectedly, the past continued quietly.

Sasha patted Big Head, "We still have a chance."

Big Head took a deep breath and vigorously wiped the racket.

Wake up!

In the second round, Xu Chenhao, Dadi, and Datou regained their confidence and won the first game.

Even though they were quickly caught up by one point, Shatou turned the tide and won the game with shouts of joy after each point scored.

At the same time, Blizzard's tightly gripped phone vibrated twice.

Jiang Yang: "A case has been filed."

Even through the screen, Blizzard could feel the warmth of freshly printed paper.

In the routine post-match interview, Sasha's remarks were anything but routine:

"We haven't played together much in the last six months to a year, but I feel quite at ease on the court with him by my side. Regardless of whether we're behind or win or lose, every time we're on the court, with him standing next to me, it feels like we've gone back to how we were before."

Big Head smiled knowingly, not daring to look up at the camera, afraid that his smugness would show in his eyes.

Reporter: "What do you think of this assessment of Sasha?"

Big Head suddenly became serious: "I think we've played a lot of matches before, we've paired up, we've won and we've lost. I feel like we know each other very well. Maybe before, her position was too high, so we weren't a good match..."

Sasha, who had been listening attentively to him, was immediately tickled and turned her face away laughing.

Although Da Tou, who was focused on speaking, didn't look in that direction, he caught her reaction out of the corner of his eye.

"...Now, when we're matching her again, I need to communicate with her more and try to get her involved, because she'll be under a lot of pressure. I need to do a better job in this regard, and I'll try to find more ways to help her."

The reporter then asked Sasha, "Your companions said your position was very high, were you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous at all. Actually, I think we've been playing together since we were kids. No matter how we play on the court or how we coordinate, we're pretty familiar with each other's moves when we're nervous. I think we still need to work on the details. We both hope to give our all in preparing for every game and hope we can play better and better."

In the subsequent group stage, Shatou overcame numerous obstacles and fought her way out of the encirclement.

After defeating Yu Ziyang and Eel in the quarterfinals, Jiang Yang, unusually, asked questions outside of the case:

How was the match?

"Won."

They won with just two words, which sounds simple, but only they know the hardships they endured.

Blizzard packed up their things and were preparing to pick them up for dinner when they happened to run into them during a post-match interview.

Sasha said, "...I think I didn't get him moving well. I played it safe for a couple of minutes, and then we fell behind...So it was my problem. Anyway, Da Tou told me to be firm. He has his own strengths, so I just tried to make sure the ball landed at the right spot, and then he would come up with the rebound and score."

Reporter: "Look at your partner, the trust they have in you."

Big Head laughed and shook his head, stammering, "That's too high an evaluation. No, no, I don't have that ability."

The two praised each other entirely voluntarily.

Blizzard was engrossed in watching.

Their complete trust in each other was something she had never experienced before.

"...Okay, thank you both."

Blizzard handed over the towel: "Actually, sis, I think bro, let's go eat!"

-

At the mixed doubles finals in Nanyang, Blizzard didn't go to practice and sat on the sidelines watching the match.

She had the outcome in her heart, but Sha Tou did not.

All they can do is fight.

If they lose this game, the Shatou duo will cease to exist.

The rising star Sha Tou duo faces off against the top-tier mixed doubles pair, Xin Wen Lianbo.

Shatou defeated many top players to reach the finals, but they were still not favored by others.

The Xinwen duo not only has a stable and mature system, but also won almost every mixed doubles championship during their partnership.

In most people's eyes, this match was clearly a one-sided affair, with no suspense whatsoever.

When the match started, the situation unfolded exactly as everyone expected, with the pace of the game consistently shifting towards Xinwen's broadcast.

Xu Xin's attacks were unmatched; his lightning-fast flicks and smashes repeatedly scored points against Sha Tou's forehand, causing Sha Tou's momentum to falter.

Da Tou was afraid of dragging the team down, so he couldn't make up his mind to shoot and missed a lot of scoring opportunities. Soon, the team was trailing by a large margin of 1 to 3.

Xinwen Lianbo is just one step away from the championship.

Coach Qin on the sidelines was extremely anxious, speaking and gesturing frantically.

As Big Head listened, he turned to Sasha and said, "Sasha, you need to know..."

Coach Qin immediately fell silent and watched the two boys interact.

After several days of high-quality matches, their teamwork has improved dramatically. Coach Qin nodded repeatedly as he listened to what Da Tou and Sa Sha were saying.

"Okay, okay, very good! No problem, that's settled!"

In this moment of crisis, Alexander's big head stood up again with repeated self-encouragement and Sasha's constant encouragement.

They fought tooth and nail to stay by each other's side.

In the fifth game, Xinwen continued her fierce attack, while Shatou made changes to her serve reception.

At the crucial moment when the score was 10:10, Sasha missed a serve from the opponent.

Fortunately, they discovered the problem: Xu Xin's attack was indeed very stressful, but what if they broke through on Xiao Zao's forehand?

Shatou sounded the horn of counterattack.

Xu Xin's jump shot and Farah's rhythm were very fast, and Da Tou had no time to judge. He could only be forced to turn to the side, but fortunately Sasha reacted quickly and twisted back.

Big Head had already positioned himself to catch the landing point that Sasha had prepared for her.

Xiaozao didn't even think twice before chopping, but Dahou hit a backspin ball that went off the table, and Shatou ultimately won the game 14-12.

In the sixth game, Xinwen Lianbo's weaknesses were exposed in the rallies: insufficient running speed and slow follow-through.

Furthermore, with Xiaozhao's forehand performance showing a significant decline, Shatou seized this opportunity and relentlessly exploited Xiaozhao.

Da Tou took the game point and won the game 14-12, bringing the score to 3-3. The two teams will now go to the final game of the decisive series, both facing a huge challenge.
