At the beginning of the second game, Kong Zhendong turned on the warm water boiled frog mode.

Pete Karlsson saw that Kong Zhendong actually used the same way he dealt with his younger brother to repair himself? That's just for my brother to see how to defeat this guy in a dignified manner.

In the first half of the second game, Pete Karlsson demonstrated to his younger brother the cracking of Kong Zhendong's immature full-force play from serving to counterattacking to pulling each link.

Green Karlsson did learn a lot from his brother's half-game, and also realized that Kong Zhendong's style of play was not so terrible.

But just when Green Karlsson kept cheering for his brother, the game changed from 11:9 to abruptly.

At this time, it entered Kong Zhendong's five serves, and this game was just over halfway.

From this serve, Kong Zhendong's style changed again, and once again attacked the node of Pete Karlsson's offensive and defensive transition.

Seeing Kong Zhendong cut into Pete Karlsson's offensive and defensive transition point and changed the rhythm again to score a point, Schultz, the manager of the Wolverine team, couldn't help but touch his bald head excitedly.

Schultz called the host of the home game, Camilla, over and said, "Camilla, have you arranged what you ordered?" ”

Camilla was a little worried: "Yes, the fan event is ready. Reporters from the Stockholm Sports Illustrated and Sportsman teams were also informed that they were on their way to the scene. However, Mr. Meldron of Sportsman spoke in a tough tone, saying that if we don't have good news material this time, they will block us for the next six months. Mr. Schultz, is it really okay to make such a big battle? Are we going to win? ”

Schultz stared at a flexible small jump on the field, and then took Kong Zhendong, who suddenly pulled the topspin sideways, and said with a smile: "It's worth it, this kid will win, and he will become the new team standard of the Wolverine team after Bengesen!" ”

The host, Camilla, is not so confident. As a host who warms up before the start of the home game, she clearly feels that the Wolverine's home fans have become fewer and fewer in the past two years.

She looked at Kong Zhendong, even if he stood in the aesthetics of Westerners, his tall figure, high nose bridge, deep eyes far beyond his age, and handsome and three-dimensional face, he did have the conditions to become a star.

But sports stars are different from other stars. It is an extremely demanding prerequisite, that is, to win, not to say win all the time, at least to win often.

If you are in a project with strong commercial value, the competition results are average, and you are handsome enough, you can still become a star.

But in a niche sport, with the Wolverines on the verge of collapse, winning is a prerequisite for becoming a star.

Against Peter Karlsson, one of the troika of the national team, can the thirteen-year-old really win?

Schultz's big gamble is not too big.

Since the first round of the season, Stockholm's two influential sports newspapers, Sports Illustrated and Sportsman, have stopped sending reporters to watch the Wolverine's home games.

For each game, whether won or lost, the Wolverine's staff wrote a press release after the game and sent it to the reporters of the two newspapers. After the two newspapers were cut, they would leave a place for the Wolverines with a tofu block.

The victory or defeat of the game and the strength of the opponent determine the size of the tofu block.

But today, after Kong Zhendong's miraculous victory over Green Karlsson, Schultz manager actually asked reporters from two newspapers to come for an interview like a gambler, and even risked that the team would even be banned in the next six months, and wanted to support Kong Zhendong.

Camilla can understand that the Wolverines on the verge of collapse are eager to create gods and attract audiences, but can this thirteen-year-old Chinese kid shoulder this heavy responsibility?

Well, Kong Zhendong's backhand cut changed the speed and arc of the ball, causing Karlsson to pull the lead and not draw it directly, which attracted bursts of applause and cheers, and finally diluted Camila's inner worries and doubts.

Looking at the scoreboard, at 17:15, Kong Zhendong, who was two points behind in the first half of the game, overtook two points at this time, but the right to serve was still in the hands of Peter Karlsson, and the outcome was still unknown.

Karlsson had three more serves, and he held his tempo.

Kong Zhendong's sudden change in offensive and defensive rhythm did cause him trouble, but he was not without a chance to reverse.

The key is initiative.

Kong Zhendong took the initiative to score by switching between offense and defense in an instant, creating a flaw in Karlsson.

If the entire offensive and defensive system, whether continuous attack or continuous defense, is controlled by Karlsson, then Kong Zhendong does not have the opportunity to create loopholes through changes.

Ben Gesen frowned and sighed: "Peter Karlsson understood the key point earlier than expected, with his basic skills, if he mastered the rhythm, Kong Zhendong would not be able to take the initiative to create a loophole in the transition between attack and defense." ”

In the next ball, Peter Karlsson really focused on the serve. His first task is not how much of a threat the ball is, how tricky it is, the only requirement is initiative, initiative, rhythm control must be firmly controlled.

The ball also opened a whole new window for Peter Karlsson. It turns out that he doesn't have to pursue the landing point and threat of each board, as long as he has the initiative, Kong Zhendong does not have the ability to change the rhythm through offense and defense, and he can finally score points if he holds each other in a mediocre and continuous manner.

Losing this point, Kong Zhendong blew on the racket.

Peter Karlsson's point was not just close to the score, it was also a wake-up call for him to change his decision-making strategy.

Kong Zhendong jumped and stretched his body and smiled again. It's not that I don't have a plan~ It's just a little tired.

Kong Zhendong leaned forward, his center of gravity was lowered, and while his right hand was ready to receive the serve, his left hand was raised like a boxer.

At this time, Mr. Taylor, a reporter from Sports Illustrated, and Mr. Pyle, a reporter from Sports People, entered the table tennis hall one after another.

As soon as Pyle entered the stadium, he was startled by the excitement in the audience, and he exclaimed, "Mr. Taylor, are you sure you answered the wrong call." Are you sure it's not a Skiers game? Who but Waldner could win such cheers? ”

Mr. Taylor didn't know what was going on, but he knew who was going to play the game before he came, and he judged: "The opponent is the Bruins, and the main player is Pete Karlsson. As one of the troika of the national team and a member of the world team championship for many years, it is not surprising that he has thousands of fans. ”

Mr. Taylor looked at the scoreboard and said, "What surprised me was the score of the game. The Wolverines actually forced the Bruins to the deciding game and still had a one-game lead? ”

Mr. Pyle walked to the front row of media and muttered, "The Bruins are just a top-six team in the league." Has the Wolverines really fallen? Even if you beat a team that finishes five or six in the league, it's big news? ”
