Chapter 329: Advance to the Knockout Round!

Previous Chapter

Kong Zhendong serves, and the opponent he judges is still Wang Dali in his experience.

But Wang Dali, who is 93 years old, is younger and more malleable.

In the face of failure and backwardness, and being forced to the precipice, Wang Dali's sudden explosiveness and ferocious energy at this time are more impactful than in the future.

Wang Dali took the initiative to attack with his strong forehand, and attacked Liu Guobang's third board with his strong forehand.

According to the tactical arrangement of Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang, Liu Guobang is waiting for the third board to attack directly.

He didn't expect Wang Dali to suddenly explode and smash with his forehand.

Liu Guobang was not prepared enough, and barely ran to receive the ball, but returned the ball out of bounds.

Losing the first point, Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang exchanged gestures again before the second serve.

The two did not relax because they won the first game, because of the change in the other group game, they realized that Wang Dali Yan Sheng would definitely work hard.

Kong Zhendong sent a short ball in the table for the second ball, and Wang Dali protected the large area of the table, quickly went to the stage, and put it short.

The short ball in the table, Liu Guobang is not afraid, Liu Guobang's third board is also a short ball in the table, but there is a sudden line change.

As soon as the line changed, Wang Dali and Yan Sheng staggered, and the position of the rotation shot was deviated.

Yan Sheng barely hooked the ball with his left hand on the strange board, but returned the ball to the net.

In the next three balls, Kong Zhendong paid attention to the changes in line and rhythm, and Wang Dali gave full play to the advantages of his height and long legs.

The two sides fought fiercely, and Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang fell behind 2:3 in their own service round.

Next is Wang Dali's serve of five balls, and Kong Zhendong receives the serve.

Although Wang Dali Yan Sheng is lagging behind, the characteristics of his serve in this round can be described in one word, that is, stability!

Robust! It may seem that the impact is not strong and the lethality is not strong, but in doubles, steadfastness is definitely a must-have temperament.

Wang Dali's serve speed is not fast, but it is stable enough, and Kong Zhendong has little chance of finding a gap to counterattack.

Wang Dali only needs to make sure he makes a steady transition to the third board, and Yan Sheng's left-handed offensive opportunities can be used very well.

Once Yan Sheng's left-handed fast attack is opened, his anti-glue takes the initiative to generate a weird spin, and he has a line advantage, and Liu Guobang is difficult to defend and can only lose points.

Kong Zhendong realized that the key to these five balls was the play of his second board, and Liu Guobang's fourth board was a very passive existence, and if he wanted to narrow the score difference, he had to rely on himself.

Kong Zhendong faced Wang Dali's stable serve, and all he could do was to rush unreasonably.

Exert force at the angle and position that cannot be forced, and hit the line and changes that are impossible to reach.

Yan Sheng was caught off guard, so Liu Guobang, who was on the fourth board, had an excellent opportunity to score.

Therefore, these five balls are a duel between Wang Dali's stability and Kong Zhendong's rush.

The two sides alternated scores, and in the end, Wang Dali Yan Sheng held the service advantage and scored 3 points.

With a two-point deficit of 4:6, he entered Liu Guobang's five serves, and Yan Sheng received the serve.

The next ten balls are Liu Guobang and Yan Sheng, two straight board masters alternate again.

Unlike the first sentence, the order of the two men's first serve has changed.

Both of them are straight-board fast-attacking type of ferocious play.

Liu Guo's spin was more special, and Yan Sheng's left-handed attack and defense were more bizarre, and the two each took advantage of their own service rounds, each winning three points.

In the first half of the game, Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang fell behind 9:11 and entered Kong Zhendong's first service round in the second half of the game.

Kong Zhendong sent five balls, and Yan Sheng received hair.

Yan Sheng's sense of receiving and rushing is very good, and Kong Zhendong has excellent control of the service line and landing point.

The competition between the two sides in the first two boards was extremely fierce, but in the end, Kong Zhendong's first-mover advantage still had the upper hand.

The biggest feature of this game is also vividly reflected in this service round.

That is, Wang Dali, Yan Sheng's ability to bite small points is very strong.

Wang Dali's steady and comprehensive, coupled with Yan Sheng's outstanding surprise soldiers, the complementarity of the two can often drag the game to a multi-shot victory, once this is the case, the victory or defeat of each ball is between the first line.

Kong Zhendong had the advantage of serving first, and in the end, he only won three points.

Next is Yan Sheng's serve, and Kong Zhendong receives five balls from serve.

After losing the first half of the game, Kong Zhendong has always seen this return round as the best chance to turn the match around.

Yan Sheng relied heavily on his left-handed serve.

He'd always thought his left hand was weird enough.

Even a service master like Liu Guobang was stunned in front of Yan Sheng.

However, a left-handed warrior like Yan Sheng formed his style earlier and was stereotyped earlier.

They have a greater advantage in the face of unfamiliar opponents, and they are the most vulnerable to being blown up in the face of familiar teammates.

At this time, Yan Sheng was not famous in China, and he had never been selected for the national team, Liu Guobang was not familiar with him, so he was naturally receiving the serve and suffered a loss with his left hand.

But Kong Zhendong is different, he came from later generations, he has been Yan Sheng's teammate for many years, and he has also been an opponent in doubles competitions for many years.

At this time, Wang Dali was in the embryonic stage, which was quite different from the future, and the experience of the future duel was not applicable to today.

Yan Sheng is quite different. His technical characteristics are special, but he was finalized early.

Today's Yan Sheng, the characteristics and lines of his serve are almost the same as those after he became famous.

In this way, Kong Zhendong's experience in receiving the ball comes in handy at this time.

After Yan Sheng served a few balls in a row, which were easily cracked by Kong Zhendong, he realized that something was wrong and began to switch to several sets of serves at the bottom of the box that he rarely used.

It's a pity that it's too late, this serve, Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang scored four points in one fell swoop, and successfully overtook the score at 16:14.

Wang Daliyan also led by two points in the first half of the game, so why is Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang's two points so crucial?

Because what follows is the last two rounds of exchange of serve between Liu Guobang and Wang Dali.

Serve master Liu Guobang starts with five balls.

Wang Dali was more active in receiving the serve in the second game, but he still couldn't make up for the delay in judgment and the lag in rhythm.

Wang vigorously received Kong Zhendong's ball, and the two sides were able to score each other's long and short points.

However, Liu Guobang's serve does not go head-to-head with Wang Dali, and always wins with novel spins and changes.

Liu Guobang played a whirlwind quickly, distributed the ball in five, and only allowed the opponent to score one point.

In this way, Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang went from two points behind, but now they are 20:15 and take the first step to get the game point.

At the same time, it is also the match point of this game, and it is five at a time.

Finally, Wang Dali's service round. Of course, if they get all five points, there's still a chance.

Wang Dali tried his best, but his serve was not the strongest after all, and after winning a point, the final miracle was not staged after all.

KONG Zhendong, LIU Guobang21; 16 won the second game, thus defeating Wang Dali Yansheng 2:0 and winning the third round of the group stage.
