Transmigrating into a Book: Beating Up the Little Tyrant Today

Xinwen Lianbo saved her last bit of energy for the decisive game, and the two teams played extremely closely, with the score always only one or two points apart.

Xu Xin always wanted to gain an advantage in the first three shots, using high toss long balls and combinations of spin and no-spin serves to limit Da Tou's topspin.

Unexpectedly, Da Tou played exceptionally boldly at this moment, daring to create opportunities even when none existed—he was determined to be relentless!

Big Head has already taken off.

After losing a ball, Sasha even had the mood to nitpick: "Whose fault is it?"

Big Head: "It's my fault, it's my fault."

Now that he's bold and decisive, Xu Xin is having a real headache.

Since Xiaozao's diagonal flick was not very dangerous, Datou decisively drove straight and took the lead in securing match point.

At this moment, the Shatou duo has come back from a 1-3 deficit to tie the score, and now they are tied again at 10-9. Blizzard, sitting on the sidelines, is clutching a handful of tissues.

She dared not move, dared not shout.

Big Head Chao blows air into his palm, locks his eyes on the small white ball, slams it onto the table and then catches it, trying to get a feel for it.

The Twelve Peaks of Nanyang, I'll keep you by my side.

The closer you get, the clearer you can see the blizzard.

Although Big Head's gaze was fixed on the little white ball, he was also paying attention to Sasha.

He was waiting to see Sasha's status.

Sasha wiped the sweat from her palms, blew on the base of her hands, straightened her shoulders, and then bent down to prepare.

Big Head bounced a full twelve times.

Sasha was ready for that moment, and then she stopped juggling the ball.

The world is quiet.

As the ball landed, Da Tou finally had the chance to raise his arms and shout again! He walked through his familiar path and naturally walked up to Sasha.

A hug is the best response to something hard-won and something deeply cherished.

The German mixed doubles roster for September 2019 was announced, and the pair of Sha Tou was split up.

In March 2020, they regrouped for the Qatar Open, but lost 1-3 to Ito, only managing to win the silver medal.

Then in April 2020, the two chose each other, but they did not pair up in the three mixed doubles matches that followed.

It wasn't until this trip to Nanyang that they finally had a true "long-awaited reunion".

If they lose, they will be split up again.

What kept each other by their side was never luck, but "the desperate efforts of Nanyang".

Awards ceremony.

Once again fulfilling their childhood promise, the two walked around the awards stage.

After the routine group photo, came the champions' group photo.

Sasha: I just need to look at the camera. Whether we're in the same frame or not is not my business. I would never stand on my tiptoes.

Big Head glanced down at it once, then immediately squatted down.

The trophies were somewhat obstructed and placed behind him.

That was close, I almost got a shot of the trophy.

After the game, Da Tou raised his bouquet towards the stands, gathered his strength, and threw it into the hands of the two children.

Sasha followed Da Tou to the interview location and whispered, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard that," Big Head nodded. "They're cheering us on."

Post-match interview.

Regarding the initial headwinds, Da Tou seriously took the responsibility upon himself:

"I played terribly at the start, but Sasha did a great job."

"It's because I entered a bit slowly; it's all my fault."

"It's all my fault, Sasha is fine."

"Is it because I didn't manage her well enough, so she was a little hesitant in her actions, or is it because I didn't do a good job on my end?"

Da Tou is incredibly good at defending himself: "I need to make some breakthroughs in quality because I was too conservative at the beginning, too cautious, hoping to catch the opponent's unnecessary mistakes by chance, feeling that I could get through by just enduring a couple of shots."

"But because I had this mindset, I made some unnecessary mistakes when attacking, so in the end I still had to fight them head-on."

"What about Sasha?"

"Let's stay connected. We've always been communicating. If either of us loses a point, we encourage each other."

How would you rate your performance this time?

Sasha: "I think he played very well."

How would you rate this partnership?

Da Tou: "The two of us have actually been a team from scratch. We first became known to everyone because of the Asian Games, but at that time our level was not very high - I was probably a little lower."

His supplementary sentence immediately made Sasha laugh.

Sasha's smile had barely faded when he added, "But we really do have a very good relationship in private. I always pinch her cheeks."

Sasha went from a flat laugh to a trembling laugh after realizing what was happening, wishing she could turn off this guy's vocal cords.

Why do you tell everyone everything?

"Sasa has a very strong execution ability, which is actually very difficult for women in mixed doubles. Because there are some balls that women are hesitant to hit, but after talking to Sasa, her execution is very smooth. It feels very comfortable to pair up with her."

Reporter: "Speaking of Sasha's leadership... she has a particularly strong ability to execute tasks. What is it about Sasha that Da Tou admires?"

Sasha recalled carefully: "He was more decisive than me. Like in the sixth game today, when it was 9-9, he did two quick flicks, and I didn't even touch the ball."

"So how are you feeling right now?"

Da Tou: "I think I should be quite excited. It's been a long time since I've stood on the highest podium."

Sasha added, "Actually, in the end, I think we were both completely united and gave our all to every point in winning the game."

After hearing this, her brother showed his upper teeth with satisfaction.

The reporter asked, "Da Tou, after winning the championship in this competition, has the pressure on your mind been relieved a little?"

"I think that at this station I found the problems that had occurred before, and then worked hard to get rid of them. After getting rid of them, I gradually saw some improvement in myself."

"I think it's because I was always frustrated and blaming myself before. I felt conflicted, like I had problems everywhere and my technique wasn't solid enough. Whenever I lost a match, I would think about this and that. I think I think about it less now."

The reporter started stirring things up: "Does Sasha have any players she admires?"

"senior?"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a senior, it could just be someone I've recently come to like."

Sasha tilted her head and raised an eyebrow: "It's right here."

Big Head immediately pouted, his delight no longer hidden but open, and nodded emphatically: "Mm!"

Reporter: "Mutual affection..."

Sasha: "Yes!"

The reporter immediately changed his tune: "They're just flattering each other!"

"Okay, you two, there are still singles matches to come. Could you give each other a word of encouragement?"

Big Head thought for a moment: "Fighting!"

Sasha: "Fighting!"

After meeting up with Blizzard, before I could even say a word, I noticed a circle of crumpled paper around her seat and her red eyes.

Big Head: "Are you doing quality control for the tissues?"

Blizzard: "...Why is the trophy talking?"
