Chapter 267: China's Power Rises! [Three more to seek to be determined]

The night before he left for Stockholm from Gothenburg, Mi Xingbang had a telephone conversation with Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei respectively, asking them to actively prepare for the battle and not engage in any greeting activities.

Before the game, the two did not need to meet with Mi Xingbang and his party, they watched the game as ordinary spectators, and in the evening after the game, everyone could have dinner together, which can be regarded as experiencing the supper culture of European countries.

On March 23, at 7 p.m., the Wolverines and Skiers entered the arena to the cheers of the crowd.

More than 3,000 seats were full, and the extra seats arranged in advance by the venue were also sold out.

Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the fans, a batch of standing tickets were added, until the bearing capacity of the stadium ventilation system was affected, and even standing tickets were not dared to continue to be sold.

This is the second and final meeting between the Wolverines and the Skiers in the league this year.

Of course, if the Wolverines can win the Swedish league this year, they will be welcomed by the Swedish royal family.

As is customary in previous years, the Swedish royal family will host the Copa del Rey match between this year's league champion and last year's league champion at the Royal Central Arena.

The King and Queen of Sweden, as well as the princess and prince, will watch the game live and host a luncheon for both teams after the game.

If last year's league champions have defended their title this year, this year's Copa del Rey competition will be between the league winners and runners-up.

Wolverine fans and Skiers fans are looking forward to that picture, that game. Of course, that's still quite far away, and they're more focused on today's showdown.

In the last game, Kong Zhendong and Waldner missed each other, and the audience did not see the strong dialogue between the two, which is very regrettable.

And whether the two teams can play against each other in the Copa del Rey, and whether there can be a chance for Kong Zhendong vs Waldner again, no one dares to bet, so everything depends on today.

After a brief discussion, Bengersen and the coach of the Skiers submitted their rosters for the first three fights almost simultaneously.

The list contains blocks are displayed on the large central screen.

Mi Xingbang, Coach Li, and Coach Peng sat in the middle of the audience, with a good view, and a pair of Swedish sisters with sweet looks and outstanding temperament were watching the game with a focused and nervous face.

The battle table is displayed, the first game: Kong Zhendong VS Zhang Lei.

The scene was in an uproar.

Almost all of the spectators watched the first round, when the two sides clashed. At that time, Kong Zhendong faced Zhang Lei in the final decisive match, and the two Chinese new and old generations fought in the dark, which decided the fate of the two teams.

At that time, the Wolverines were still in the middle of last year's league, and this year's league started with a popular role, challenging for the top of the league standings at that time.

That victory of the Wolverines was described by all the media as the biggest upset.

But in just five months, the Wolverines were reborn under the leadership of Kong Zhendong and became the absolute powerhouse of the Swedish League and the Champions League.

This matchup, in everyone's opinion, is a battle between two evenly matched teams.

And the trick of fate is reflected in the two people who won the tiebreaker in the last battle, and this time as the opening battle, they fought again.

This seems to indicate that this round is a continuation of the previous round, and that the deciding match is only equivalent to the full intensity of the opening match.

Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei glanced at each other, and they both walked onto the court with confident smiles.

Only the two of them understand in their hearts that this ball is not only related to the victory or defeat of the two teams, but also the best answer they handed over to Mi Shuai and his party who came across the ocean.

China's table tennis resources are always more monks and less porridge, how many talented seedlings have been buried?

And he and Zhang Lei actually won the only two national team European training places, how much weight and cultivation is this?

So what did you use to show yourself in the past six months? To reciprocate?

Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei quickly pulled each other to adapt to the new ball. Bengersen and Waldner were the first to notice the difference between their two states.

It's the feeling of getting used to a new ball and hitting chicken blood.

After adapting to the new ball, Zhang Lei served five balls first.

Zhang Lei was slightly short, picked up the table tennis ball with his left hand, stared almost close to his eyes, and then threw it low, and his right hand slammed everything backhand, and the table tennis ball cut out.

The spin serve is dominated by rotational friction, but Bengerson and Waldner seem to hear the popping sound of the table tennis ball leaving the racket.

At the same time as the serve, accompanied by Zhang Lei's low shout, it seems that a simple serve is a blow full of strength to kill.

Zhang Lei is full of firepower, how can Kong Zhendong have any reservations?

Yes! Kong Zhendong exerted a strong force, accompanied by a tiger's roar, Kong Zhendong's body rushed forward quickly, and he rushed to the stage with his forehand.

The first board of the two of them will show the most unrestrained and violent side.

Zhang Lei's third board chose to counter violence with violence.

In the past, Zhang Lei in China, the first three board technology was soft as the advantage. It has been described as a hidden needle in the cotton.

That shot is often a counter-attack shot on the fifth board.

However, after arriving in Europe, although the main improvement of the authentic arc circle is his ability to hold the arc with his forehand and backhand.

However, the ability to hold each other has improved, and if you don't have to bother to change, the third board will naturally have more impact.

Mi Xingbang said happily: "More than half a year of training in Sweden has also sublimated Zhang Lei's understanding of the arc circle, and this board is much more energetic than the domestic period!" ”

Coach Li and Coach Peng are both veteran coaches of national table tennis, and they are also strong representatives of the old school in the team, of course they know what level Zhang Lei has been in the top three boards of the national team for many years.

Zhang Lei's performance only shocked the two old coaches slightly.

Kong Zhendong's ultra-fast connection on the fourth board and the forehand backpull that did not fall behind surprised them.

How old is this kid? Zhang Lei's obvious afterburner on the third board, he followed so easily? And the return quality is so high?

Resolutely playing the fourth board, playing Zhang Lei's first three boards after strengthening, and the inherent ability to hold on to multiple shots, this is Kong Zhendong's first idea at the beginning.

It's a pity that Zhang Lei's fifth board came back quite easily. He has now been in the middle of half a year, and his later holding technique has been perfectly integrated with the European arc technology.

It's not that Zhang Lei doesn't have loopholes, but it's definitely not a ball, and five or six boards can be caught.

Once Zhang Lei listened to the fifth board, Kong Zhendong's multi-shot hold in the later stage was at a disadvantage, and finally under Zhang Lei's continuous afterburner, the ball was returned out of bounds.

Both Coach Peng and Coach Li nodded secretly. When Mi Shuai insisted on arranging for players to go to Europe to learn arc technology, both of them made fun of it in private as formalism and typical showmanship.

But now that I see that at the end of his career, the 26-year-old Zhang Lei can still have this second spring of progress, it seems that this move is really right.

Of course, compared with Zhang Lei, although Kong Zhendong did not score the first point, compared with his new performance in the national team at that time, it was also a earth-shaking growth.

What kind of world can the two of them do in the European league?
