Kong Zhendong was very calm: "It's just a personal choice, the country has been very loose in the past few years, and all walks of life have a little ability, and they all have an inexplicable sense of impetuousness about going abroad." Reform and opening up is to communicate with each other, they have advanced ping-pong skills and tactics, and of course they have the capital to go abroad. ”

Although the Japanese team gave the Chinese team a dismount in the first game, the national table tennis team is obviously more prepared today.

With the painful lesson of the previous game, they should have collected He Lili's situation in Japan and made a targeted plan.

In the next few games, Cheng Longcan scored two points steadily, and Wang Tao, the No. 3 singles, did not continue the magical performance of the previous game, but also achieved one win and one loss.

In the end, Ma Wenhua did not drop the chain again, and scored two points without danger.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team that had vowed to rise without danger and advanced to the semi-finals without danger.

Following the Chinese team, North Korea, South Korea, and Xinjiapo successively reached the semifinals of the men's table tennis team competition.

The semi-final matches are China vs North Korea and South Korea vs Sinjapo.

As the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals, the media tone at home and abroad turned again, not paying attention to the bumpy road of the Chinese team's promotion, but once again taking the Chinese team as the favorite to win the championship.

Because Kong Zhendong made meritorious contributions in the game against the Baodao team, and he and Ye Xiaoya themselves were non-governmental exchange students of Asian Games table tennis, Liu Guobang directly asked the coach to let Kong Zhendong and Ye Xiaoya sit in the national junior team lineup to watch the game with them.

The first of the two semi-finals was South Korea VS Sinjiapo.

The South Korean coaching staff still attaches great importance to Xinjiapo, and they call this team the 'Little China Team'.

There are five main players in the Xinjiapo team, two are members of the Chinese national team in the 80s, two are outstanding players in the local team, and the other is a sparring partner of the national team.

Therefore, in the eyes of the South Korean coach and players, no matter which three people Xinjiapo sent to participate in the competition, it was an early rehearsal for the Chinese team.

Liu Guobang looked at the first match between South Korea and Xinjiapo, and sighed: "South Korea is really worthy of the stars, Jinhuan, Jinqi Zhebao is not old, Liu Nankui is still at the peak, I heard that they specially selected two sixteen or seventeen-year-old young players in the team this time, and the information we got is that the talent is extremely high!" ”

South Korea's table tennis players are not as fierce as China's domestic competition, so they have enough places to send young athletes aged 13~16 to the stage of the world competition and get training in advance.

The rise of the Japanese table tennis scene in the 21st century is also this model, and a bunch of young players are 12~14 years old to compete with the world's top masters, with full momentum and rapid improvement.

On the contrary, the Chinese team has a surplus of table tennis talent. As a result, many players have to play abroad without earning the main position, and the training of young domestic players can only participate in the World Junior Championships and Youth Championships.

Even if it is a talented table tennis player like Liu Guobang, he must encounter a leader with great courage to reform in the future, so that he can take the lead in the main force of national table tennis at a young age.

In this game, South Korea doesn't know if it's because it's trying to seek stability, or because it's to seal off the young players, and the final is used as a surprise soldier, and the South Korean team is Jin Huan, Jin Qizhe, and Liu Nankui.

As for Kim Cheol-joo, who is known as a genius boy, Kim Min-nam, continues to exist on the list.

The process of this game is similar to what the domestic and foreign media expected, except for the veteran Jin Huan who lost one, Liu Nankui, Jin Qizhe is stable and terrible, with a total score of 5:1, the South Korean team cleanly won a group of second-tier Chinese players composed of the Xinjiapo team.

The Eurasian media in the stands have already begun to prepare for the upcoming war between China and South Korea.

After all, for them, the Northern Dynasty team is too mysterious. The Northern Dynasty team, which has no achievements in the international arena, is expected to become a stepping stone for the Chinese team to advance.

For the Northern Dynasty team, the Chinese team does not dare to despise it.

In this team, Chinese coaches often recall the past, and more than ten years ago, they seemed to be such hard work, such fighting spirit, and fighting with their lives like this.

It's a pity that although the Chinese team attaches great importance to this Northern Dynasty team, they don't know anything about the other players except for the famous Li Genxiang.

This is also the result of the unique system of the North Korean sports teams. Due to the international blockade of the Northern Dynasties, there were few opportunities for top domestic athletes to participate in international competitions, and there were few foreign exchanges, and athletes from other countries competed in their countries.

Therefore, every few years, the Northern Dynasty will give birth to a few top athletes with novel playing characteristics and tenacious fighting spirit, of course, most of them will also fall like comets after a few years.

Every time they burn, they will always pull one or two of the world's top stars to be buried.

Liu Guobang stroked his forehead, stared at the list and sighed: "Cui Jinji, Jin Chenxi, I haven't heard of it!" There's no way to arrange the lineup again. ”

Kong Zhendong said: "Or as the name suggests, shooting hard, it must be a violent offensive flow of play." Chenxi, does it exist as a ray of hope? ”

Liu Guoliang was speechless for a while, spread his hands and said, "Although you are very humorous, I really can't laugh." ”

After deliberation, the coaching staff of the national team sent Cheng Longcan, Ma Wenhua, and Zhang Lei to face the North Korean team.

Ye Xiaoyaqi said: "In the first two knockout rounds, didn't Wang Tao play the best? Why didn't you send him on this one? ”

Kong Zhendong explained: "I think Wang Tao has become a wonder soldier of the Chinese team in this Asian Games, but the more he participates, the more his playing style is studied by his opponents, and he loses his role as a surprise soldier." His all-Taiwan attacking style of play is Liu Nankui's natural nemesis, and the national team probably wants to retain his strength and impact Liu Nankui in the final! ”

Liu Guoliang added: "The task of this game is to win the Northern Dynasty team steadily, and finally rush to the Southern Dynasty, which is the ultimate task." ”

Although Kong Zhendong is unwilling, he still has to admit that the Chinese team, which was once the world hegemon, is now aiming to impact the South Korean team.

In the first game, Li Genxiang, the current Asia's No. 1 chipping master, faced the Olympic champion Cheng Longcan, a Chinese low-trough holdout.

When table tennis developed to the 80s, it was already an era when the European arc circle and the Asian fast attack combined and competed for hegemony.

The chippers of this period were frustrated people who were excluded from the mainstream.

However, every five or six years, there is always an amazing chipper who shocks the table tennis world and is active on the highest stage of the world table tennis world.

Lee was also a key figure in transitioning the chipping from purely defensive to offensive.

Although the attacking technology has only reached its peak in the hands of China's Jin Song and South Korea's Zhu Xianhe. However, as the founder of the chipping attacking style of play, Li Genxiang has made Cheng Longcan quite difficult.

Before the start of this game, all the media expected that this would be an offensive and defensive battle between China's fast break and slicing ball.

It's a pity that the reporters at the beginning found that they encountered an old fast attacker and a strange generation of chipping and attacking.

Offensive and defensive dislocation, the outcome can be imagined!
