Because of the existence of the connecting ball in the small ball era, the rhythm of the duel in the 90s still stayed on the connection between the ball and the ball.

At this time, the tactical style of play was extensive, and it did not form such a complete and refined routine as in the 21st century.

In the era of big balls, the speed of the ball has slowed down by 20%, but the pace of the duel has become more intense and compact.

Why?

Because every board in the era of big balls has a clear strategic intent, there is almost no pure connection ball.

The rhythm of the 21st century is more about the connection between action and action.

Compared with the rhythm of the 90s of force ~ restoration ~ re-force ~ re-reduction, later generations compressed the time of restoration to nothing, or semi-reduction on the second force.

This is why later generations watched the game in the nineties, which was a rhythmic change of movement ~ static ~ movement ~ stillness. In the later world table tennis duel, the ball speed slowed down, but the players on both sides leaned forward like ants in a hot pot, fighting continuously, and there was almost no reduction action.

The rhythm of Kong Zhendong's playing style at this time is the coherent force of the compression and reduction action in later generations.

Everyone found that Kong Zhendong's ball speed was not faster than Wang Yonggang, but he reacted quickly, started quickly, judged the block, hit the ball fast, and almost did not restore the direct next shot action.

Wang Yonggang is not reconciled, I am in the best years of my career, Wang Fei has also grown up, but other provincial teams are alternating between the old and the new. This year is the closest I've gotten to a national victory.

Quick reaction, fast start, quick judgment, fast hitting the ball, this is my specialty. Why are you faster than me?

Wang Yonggang kicked the ground with both feet, his body rushed forward, and his will forced his right hand to swing the racket faster, further improving the rhythm of his usual play.

Kong Zhendong's eyes froze, and after a slight hesitation, he decided to continue his rhythm.

Since Brother Gang chooses dignified hard steel, let's leave no room for hard steel.

Kong Zhendong used the skillful coherent force hitting rhythm of later generations, but Wang Yonggang gritted his teeth and worked hard, forcing his connection movements to be faster with his will.

In the end, Kong Zhendong still made a quick backhand after a continuous fast play, and suddenly quickly dialed the line to sneak attack the forehand and won the last point of the first game.

After a short break, the two sides began to fight for the second game.

In the second game, Wang Yonggang served first.

Everyone thought that after Wang Yonggang lost the speed in the first game, he would change his style of play in the second game.

However, Wang Yonggang did the opposite, and from the first serve, he was still in fast play whirlwind mode.

He's gambling.

Everyone on the sidelines guessed what he was betting on.

Kong Zhendong defeated Wang Fei in the second game of running all over Taiwan, and after only one rest, he went on the court to fight Wang Yonggang, who had rested for two games.

Wang Yonggang is betting on Kong Zhendong's physical limit.

Kong Zhendong's physical strength is indeed in trouble now. His duel against Wang Fei and Wang Yonggang today is quite physically exhausting, and the time to rest in the middle is far from enough.

At the beginning of the second game, after Kong Zhendong took a short lead, the quality of the return began to decrease due to the decline in physical strength.

In the next half game, the situation reversed from the first game, Kong Zhendong's physical strength had reached the limit, and he completely relied on his will.

The score was 12:13, and he was overtaken by one point, but it was Kong Zhendong's turn to serve.

"Zhendong should use this serve round to stabilize the rhythm, but unfortunately Wang Yonggang's tactics are very clear, that is, to fight for physical strength, and the error rate under the limit of physical strength, Zhendong may be difficult to get his wish." Li Xiaodong sighed.

Kong Zhendong's left-handed table tennis ball bounced twice on the table, and he obviously felt that the big arm of his right hand was slightly swollen.

I can't be stable, if I'm leading by a big score, I can stabilize my rhythm and recover my strength, but now I have to bite and even overtake.

This board must be rushed.

Kong Zhendong served quickly, and after serving, his sideways body did not recover, but continued to stride forward, or chose to receive the serve and attack.

The more physical strength is limited, the more I can't be conservative, because I will lose the third game, in this case, even if I retire and collapse, I have to fight this game.

In the face of Wang Yonggang's battle book of fighting physical strength and making mistakes, Kong Zhendong chose to face it hard, and he spared no effort in his hard work.

He believes in the results of his training that has been much harder than others in the past year, and his muscular endurance is enough to support it!

"Zhendong was right to choose to be tough. His physical bottleneck is like a shackle, and only by holding on to difficult games can he make a new breakthrough. After this bitter battle, I am afraid that no one will dare to say about Kong Zhendong's mentality and responsibility. Win or lose, he has the temperament of a No. 1 singles leader. Li Muhua's evaluation revealed his lineup arrangement for the next game.

Of course, only if there is a next one.

Kong Zhendong didn't think about tomorrow's semifinals at all, or even the next game.

If you lose this game, you don't even have the physical strength to fight back in the next game, so what's the next game?

The last few goals of this game, Kong Zhendong was used as the last few goals of the whole game, as the last few goals of the entire championship.

In the enthusiastic shouts of the audience, Kong Zhendong bit every minute and finally equalized.

Overtake, was equalized, led again, 20:19, Kong Zhendong served.

This is the game point and match point that Kong Zhendong has mastered, but his pressure is greater than that of his opponent.

This last ten balls, Ye Ying felt that it was longer than the previous game. Obviously, the two sides are close to each other, and life and death are determined within five beats, but the infinite tension formed by repeated leading and equalizing makes people feel that time is almost frozen.

Li Xiaodong stared at Kong Zhendong and clapped his wrist and said: "This is Kong Zhendong's last serve in this round, and it is also his last chance." If you lose points, 20 draws, but it is Wang Yonggang's serve to take the initiative. ”

Kong Zhendong and Wang Yonggang also knew the lethality of this ball, and the two were highly concentrated.

On the last ball, Kong Zhendong sent a backhand long ball.

The more critical the points, the more dare to introduce.

Wang Yonggang didn't rub up to send Kong Zhendong to the ball, he stepped to push and block, diagonally hit Kong Zhendong's backhand, and at the same time did a good job of restoring the action, ready to move to the forehand position.

Because Kong Zhendong's ball suppressed him on the backhand, he had the opportunity to sneak on the forehand in a straight line.

Kong Zhendong really came to the stage as he expected, and played his backhand quickly.

But Wang Yonggang, who shifted to the forehand, suddenly found that this fast flick was actually a slash backhand.

It's such a good forehand straight ball, but it's a backhand?

Wang Yonggang, who had already moved sideways to the right, could only brake urgently and barely retreated.

Difficult to go around the middle of the road, this time Wang Yonggang was completely out of position, and he could only barely catch up with the forehand.

It's a pity that everyone thought that Kong Zhendong continued to press the backhand in order to completely mobilize Wang Yonggang to score on the forehand again, but Kong Zhendong's actual choice was to attack the backhand triangle for the third consecutive board.

Wang Yonggang, who moved to his forehand, could only helplessly turn back, watch the table tennis hit the table at high speed, and then bounce away from afar.

Take! Kong Zhendong used a strong will and consistent toughness to win the victory against the national player Wang Yonggang.

3:1, the capital team finally did not rely on the decisive fifth game to advance to the semifinals.
