Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "When it comes to the fierce battle, you instinctively think of the men's competition, right?" In fact, the closest table tennis match in the world is precisely the women's competition, which was created by your two senior sisters at the National Games. ”

Kong Zhendong poured Ye Ying a cup of tea, and continued: "In a table tennis match, the outcome depends on the score, but if you want to see whether the two sides are evenly matched, you have to look at the small score. The most fierce game, often the game score is 3:2 win, the winning side won three games to score 63 points, the two games lost, the average score of 17~18 points, the losing side, the two games won to score 42 points, the three games lost are also averaged between 17~18 points, in this way, the two sides of the five games, the total score in the 98:93 up and down. This kind of game is already a very close match. ”

Kong Zhendong wiped his sweat and continued: "If there is a more intense game, and the losing side can score 19 points in each game and then lose the game, then the small score of the five games between the two sides will be 101:99. Matches where the winning and losing sides have a small score of about 100 are often the classic battles of the year selected by the International Table Tennis Federation. ”

Ye Ying asked curiously: "Then what you said, the most fierce table tennis competition for women in our National Games, how many points did you score in five games?" ”

Kong Zhendong said with a look of reminiscence: "The two female players who created miracles were both table tennis goddesses in the 80s, and they created a total score of 108:106 in five games at the Fifth Games in 1983 ten years ago. They are Jiao Zhimin of the Heihe Provincial Team and Mi Shuai's mixed doubles partner Cao Yanhua. ”

"108:106, it's impossible to score 21 points in all five games, right?" Even Guo Bing, a marginal person outside the professional table tennis circle, was frightened by this score.

Kong Zhendong nodded and said: "Such a five-game small score means that the two female players have reached a two-goal victory after 20 draws in each game." Then in five rounds, both sides can only draw 20 in each game, or even after 21 draws, win two points against the other side. In this way, the five games were staggered, and Jiao Zhimin, who won the game, only won 2 points in total in the five games. ”

Ye Ying and Guo Bing automatically made up in their minds, what kind of tension and excitement it would be for the two sides to win a two-goal tie in each of the five rounds in a table tennis match.

Liu Guobang said with a smile: "No matter how high-level the international event, if the two Chinese players meet, they will never play five games and each game will be decided by a small score after 20 draws." In the world's competitions, only the National Games can see such a desperate fight between two Chinese team members, and the fierceness and cruelty of the competition in the National Games can also be seen. ”

Coach Yin Xiao's voice came at this time: "The opponent of the game has not been announced yet, why are you afraid of the fierce game?" ”

Coach Yin Xiao walked over to Kong Zhendong and the others, and shook a few pieces of paper in his hand while laughing.

The marketing coach said: "In the doubles competition of the National Games, the men's 64 pairs of players are divided into 16 groups, and after a single round robin in each group, the top two will qualify and become the top 32, and then the knockout round will only determine the final champion." ”

Guo Bing stuck out his tongue and said: "Start the knockout round from the top 32? The competition rules and accidents of this game are even more cruel than the World Cup? ”

Liu Guobang spread his hands and said: "The table tennis empire is like this, there are sixty-four pairs of players in the country, and there are already many players of the same level who have lost the opportunity to participate?" ”

Kong Zhendong asked curiously: "Coach Yin, do the three opponents in the group stage this time have old acquaintances?" ”

Yin Xiao said with a smile: "Although there are many table tennis masters, there is no unknown person who can enter the official competition of the National Games, so most of them are your acquaintances." ”

Coach Yin Xiao raised the grouping form and said: "In the eyes of the outside world, among the sixteen groups, the group you are in is not strong, and it is not a death group. The seeded players in your group are Li Jing and Gao Lize from Lingnan. ”

Li Jing is now worthy of Gao Lize? Kong Zhendong was a little caught off guard by the slight changes in the direction of history.

As the runner-up of the Chinese National Championships, Li Jing's singles strength amazed the whole country.

But after entering the national team last year and changing to a horizontal board play, it has become more and more sluggish.

Now he has returned to the provincial team, regained himself, returned to the previous straight board attack, and cooperated with his classic partner in later generations, Gao Lize in advance.

Kong Zhendong remembers that in his previous life, Li Jing and Gao Lize were both the top table tennis players in Lingnan.

Because the Lingnan culture has the same origin as Hong Kong Island, their cooperation with Hong Kong Island is much more convenient than that of players from other parts of the mainland.

So in the future, Li Jing and Gao Lize were introduced to Hong Kong Island as special talents and became the pillars of the Hong Kong Island table tennis team.

The two have extremely high offensive and defensive qualities, so they are also a pair of powerhouses on the world stage.

Kong Zhendong didn't expect that it might be the butterfly effect that he crossed, and actually let Li Jinggao Lize's classic partner appear at the National Games in advance.

Liu Guobang and Ye Ying were a little surprised by Kong Zhendong's combination of Li Jing and Gao Lize.

Although the pair claims to be the No. 1 seed in the group, and Li Jing is also an important member of the national team, Liu Guobang is confident that he will make the opponent suffer enough if he breaks out.

But he didn't expect Kong Zhendong to put on an attitude of facing a great enemy.

Li Jing is just that, is it so strong?

Coach Yin Xiao ignored the looks of Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang, and continued: "The other two pairs of players in this group stage, one of them, is Wang Fei and Qin Zhijian, who are guided and led by Wu Jingping, this pair is our acquaintance, and Wu Jingping and I basically have a good idea of each other's tactical choices, so this opponent has a chance to win." ”

Kong Zhendong did not continue to say something to shock morale at this time, only he had seen Wu Jingping give Wang Fei's epoch-making doubles straight board combination a lot of novel technical and tactical cooperation.

Such an opponent is by no means as vulnerable as Coach Yin Xiao thought.

Coach Yin Xiao continued: "The third player in your group stage is a mysterious division formed in Shanghai under the guidance of Li Xiaodong of the national team. The pair of doubles is a straight and horizontal pair. I only know what the main attacker of the horizontal board in Shanghai is called Wang Dali, who is tall and has no outstanding resume in the past. As for his partner, it is Yan Sheng, who has average results in the past of the Northern Jiangsu team, this pair does not look strong from the data, but Li Xiaodong has always been good at turning stones into gold, and he has said many times that Wang Dali is a genius that he has rarely met for decades, so we can't take it lightly. ”

Kong Zhendong shook suddenly, Wang Dali of the Shanghai market?

Wang Dali finally appeared on the stage of the national competition earlier than in his previous life at the National Games in 93.

Kong Zhendong looked at Liu Guobang, who was still ignorant of Wang Dali, and he felt a little mocked by fate.

He and Liu Guobang, Wang Dali and Yan Sheng, these are all top doubles pairs who will reach the top of the world in the future and bear the glory of the Olympics.

Now they can only start to love and kill each other in the group stage of the National Games, and fight to the end for the qualifying places!
