Chapter 277: Greet the National Team with Victory

If in the face of the king of the fast arc of the same era, Jonier, Bengersen still has some targeted tactical play, then in the face of Rankpal, who is more advanced in their era, Bengesen does not have too good tricks, and the break can only allow Kong Zhendong to grasp the service advantage and strive to win the two games.

Cranpal is a few years younger than Yonier, and his style of play is more powerful with his hands and relatively few physically demanding runs that drive his feet around his body, so it is impossible to hope that he will survive until the third game.

Kong Zhendong and Bengersen bet on the outcome in the second game, and they were already one game behind, and Rankpal, who was about to lose, of course, fought hard.

In the second game, Rankpal started with five goals.

This round of serve is what really shows the peak strength of Rankopal as Waldner's idol.

Waldner's growth era coincided with the era of Swedish football king Bengersen's slaughter, and it was also the era of the gradual rise of a new generation of football king Ape Allen.

Sweden has two champions with different styles of play but equally proud of the top of the world, but why is Waldner's idol Hungarian Rankpal?

Because Waldner's playing style is inherited from Rankpal.

Rankpal is known as the most advanced style of table tennis play in the seventies and eighties, because he used two-sided arcs, especially the backhand fast arc ball, in the seventies to be more aesthetic than the backhand fast dial of Bengerson, Joniel and others.

In the era of forehand packing, Rankopal's development of the backhand, especially the strong power of the backhand fast break arc ball, led the era.

From the first serve of the second game, Rankopal strengthened the backhand fast-pull arc ball and rushed.

Kong Zhendong's backhand is not a weak chicken, facing Kerber, Roscoff and other backhand maniacs, and facing Persson's backhand balance of the strength of the king, Kong Zhendong has played against each other.

However, Rankpal's backhand pull technique is unlike any fighter Kong Zhendong has faced before.

Unlike Waldner's fantastic footwork with the guerrilla changes of the line, Rankpal was able to hit the entire Taiwan arc just by relying on the change of his forearm power.

Five serves, Kong Zhendong fell behind 1:4.

Steady in his mood, Kong Zhendong started his own service round and continued to play the forehand with the dominant serve in the first game.

In just one break, Rankpal did not find a completely restrained style of play, but he chose to take a half step back, his thick body ensured that he absolutely suppressed Kong Zhendong in terms of power, so he withdrew from the table, extended the time of the shot, and looked for an opportunity to catch the forehand ball with his backhand.

Although this treatment is still weak, Kong Zhendong's advantage has been weakened a lot, and he only scored three points on five serves.

Ten goals later, Kong Zhendong fell behind 4:6.

And the two rounds of swapped service rounds are also the epitome of the entire second game.

Kong Zhendong and Rankopal can each have an advantage in their own service rounds, but Kong Zhendong's advantage will always be smaller.

As serve rounds accumulated, the two sides went from being evenly matched to Rankpal gradually establishing an advantage.

With a score of 20:15, he entered Kong Zhendong's final service round.

Although he had a service advantage, Kong Zhendong did not create a miracle after all, losing the second game at 18:21.

Seeing Kong Zhendong lose the second game, Madeleine in the stands was anxious, and she asked: "Rankpal has been famous for more than ten years, after so many years, is there really no way to do his backhand?" ”

Sir Edward sighed: "Rankopal is the kind of superplayer who can be called a genius. He played in the 70s with a style of play that was far beyond that of his contemporaries. At the peak of his form, he suffered a six-year ban because of his unique personality and rebellious character, otherwise his historical status would have been higher. He has always been playing with the techniques and tactics of the 90s, so this set of techniques is still outdated today, and will even be the mainstream style of play in the next few years. ”

Hearing Sir Edward's high opinion of Rankpal, Victoria and Madeleine were even more worried about Kong Zhendong's tiebreaker.

In the third game, Kong Zhendong started with five goals.

For Rankpaal's advanced technical play, Bengerson still didn't have a good response at the second break.

Kong Zhendong already has his own idea of a duel.

Rankpal is using futuristic technology to fight the present, and advanced to fight the old.

If you want to defeat Rankpal, you can only use more futuristic and advanced techniques and tactics.

Kong Zhendong threw low with his left hand, rotated his waist, and rubbed the racket forward with his right hand, and the racket changed strangely to hit the racket.

This is Kong Zhendong's "turn ~ no turn" serving method that he once tried his hand at in China and used for a short time.

Rankpal was disappointed with the spin judgment of this serve, and had no choice but to retreat and reorganize his shots.

This serve is only the beginning of a series of tactics, Kong Zhendong chose to defeat Rankpal's future advanced forehand and backhand fast-pull arc ball, using Marin's series of tactics.

Turning ~ not forwarding the ball is Marin's unique skill, and the whip continuous attack that follows is the unique ability to destroy Rankpal's forehand and backhand.

Kong Zhendong's sharp serve, whipping crazy attack, and running around the table like a small motor made him grab four points with five serves.

Yay~ Kong Zhendong just got a 4:1 lead, but Madeleine shouted excitedly in the stands.

The rest of the Wolverines fans, though not as excited as Madeleine, were relieved.

Kong Zhendong's advantage in the service wheel has expanded, and he can at least match Rankopal in the third position.

Will Kong Zhendong be content to be on par with Rankpal?

Kong Zhendong replied with the next return serve.

Rankpaar tosses a low serve and half-plays the ball in the middle.

Kong Zhendong's entire power action is still the previous forehand power grabbing, but at the moment when he hit the ball with his arm holding the racket, he once again made a shake switch racket as if before serving.

Snap~ The spin of the ball abruptly changed in the forward rush, which caught Rankpal off guard.

Bengerson, the coach on the sidelines, also showed a blatant look at this time. Kong Zhendong has indeed been practicing the switch between wrist power and arm force, but he can use such a round turn in the game, which still surprised Ben Gesen.

Kong Zhendong used the spin ~ not forwarding method in the game when he was in the 91 Table Tennis Association Cup.

Since then, he has been training to upgrade from spin ~ no forwarding to spin ~ not turning the batting.

The growth of the national team in the past two years, coupled with a deeper understanding of arc rotation in Sweden, has made his spin ~ non-rotation hitting method a great success.

In the late 90s, this style of play system was not used well, and the results were average, and it was necessary to enter the era of more advanced table tennis technology, so that this style of play had greater advantages.

Therefore, Kong Zhendong originally did not want to use this style of play in recent years, but today he ran into the pioneer of using future table tennis technology, Rankpal.

Since Rankpal bullies the present with the future, don't blame Kong Zhendong for bullying him with more advanced future technology.

Under the onslaught of a new and unpredictable spinning catch, Rankpaal only scored two points on his own serve.

In the first ten goals, Kong Zhendong led 7:3.

The audience applauded thunderously, and the Wolverines fans could not bear to start celebrating the victory in advance.

With a 4-point opening advantage, in a table tennis game of 21 points, it is still infinitely far from victory.

However, what Wolverine fans saw was that Kong Zhendong was leading in all aspects of serving and receiving the ball with advanced hitting skills at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

This kind of sudden killer move, Rankpal was in a hurry and couldn't deal with it at all.

All he can choose is to increase his retreat, relying on his strength and basic skills, to fight more and hold each other.

Whether it is a turning or non-rotating shot, with the elongation of the arc and the delay of the hitting time, it can always be judged more clearly.

Rankpal's treatment can be called experienced, reducing the threat of Kong Zhendong's rotation ~ not turning the batting.

However, he blindly retreated, and Rankpal did not have the god-like far-reaching nirvana like Wang Dali, so it was difficult to get out of the passive situation.

After 20 goals again, Kong Zhendong scored 11 points, and the score between the two sides also came to 18:12, and Kong Zhendong ushered in his last service round.

Rankpal didn't give up, and as time went on, he became more and more comfortable with Kong Zhendong in the case of retiring from Taiwan. As long as this receiving wheel can counterattack, when it comes to its own service round, there is still an advantage.

At this time, Kong Zhendong's big heart was powerful again. The more he seeks stability on the key ball, the more he dares to rush.

In the rush, Kong Zhendong's pursuit was only to suppress the mistakes below 50%.

In the end, Kong Zhendong won three points on his own serve, 21:14, and won the tiebreaker with Rankpal.

Kong Zhendong's victory marked the Wolverine's 3-1 victory over the Hungarian Rangers and the historic advancement to the semifinals of the table tennis Champions League.

In the same eight-in-four matchup, Persson's Tibetan mastiff team and Waldner's skiers team were eliminated, which shows that the competition in the table tennis Champions League is fierce.

As the fifth team in the Swedish league and the team that entered the Champions League list through the qualifying round, the Wolverines successfully advanced to the semi-finals, which not only created the history of the Swedish league, but also created the history of the table tennis Champions League. ‘

The semi-finals and finals of the Champions League will only be held after the World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg, so Kong Zhendong and Wolverine Jiang are betting on the fight in the domestic league.

The Swedish domestic league, which began in mid-April, has also accelerated the competition.

The Wolverine, Skiers, and Gothenburg Tibetan Mastiffs are also making the final push to the league title.

In this critical moment of attacking the league title, it is often the head-to-head confrontation between competitors that is the most crucial.

The difference between winning and losing is the difference between scoring three points and conceding three points.

Therefore, as the World Championships in Gothenburg are about to begin, the Wolverines will face the Gothenburg Tibetan Mastiffs again in the penultimate round of the league.

The Chinese team is ready to go, and Kong Zhendong has to welcome them with a victory.
