Chapter 259: How to Defeat You? [1/3 more to seek to follow-up]
Understands that Linde is deliberately playing fast-paced encounters, so that his new generation of fast-arc play can thrive in this rhythm.
Kong Zhendong started with the next round of serve, focusing on the change of rhythm.
In terms of rhythm control, Kong Zhendong in his previous life was also one of the top people in the world.
Of course, tempo control requires a superior ability to read the game and an almost instinctive motor response to the body's movements.
Today's Kong Zhendong can't reach that realm.
What Kong Zhendong is doing now is to start from the serve and make a change.
Lin De blindly plays fast, is Kong Zhendong desperately slow to be able to restrain it?
Of course not, if Kong Zhendong is a chipper or a strange board player, it can.
In the finals of the World Table Tennis Championships in the 80s, the Chinese team defeated Sweden several times to establish a dynasty, and they sent little-known players to face Linde and won the victory.
These players have unified characteristics, such as Chen Xinhua, who is a standard slow-paced chipper, and Fuji Yuan is also from the capital team and has a very impactful style of play.
Their style of play is either slow or unstable, and their style of play is not mainstream, and they are such players who beat Linde at his peak.
Linde is now better at controlling the tempo and reading the game than he was a decade ago, so even a chipper is no match for him.
What's more, the rhythm of the game pursued by a person must be suitable for his own tactical play.
Linde's fast-arc style of play requires a fast enough offensive and defensive tempo, but what about Kong Zhendong, is his tactical style of play better if he slows down the tempo?
Obviously not, so if you limit your playing style in order to slow down, it will be more than worth the loss.
And to disrupt Linde's constant fast pace, Kong Zhendong doesn't need a slowdown. It just needs to be varied and unpredictable.
Kong Zhendong in the five serves, the third board is the forehand with Gaiting's unreasonable continuous power fast belt, with the unconstant force, the unreasonable style of play is not stable rhythm and power at all, Linde naturally can not play a fast arc system.
If the third board is a backhand, Kong Zhendong uses more of a sudden change in the backcut, which seems to be the effect of the superposition of the videotape fast forward and rewind, which makes Linde's return very awkward.
Linde's continuous fast arc circle, in terms of offensive continuity and continuous pressure, is better than Bengerson's mixed technique fast attack style of play. However, the disadvantage of this style of play is that it relies too much on the fast pace, if the rhythm is disrupted, and the continuous arc circle is disassembled into a single attack, then the continuous arc circle attack is too monotonous and lacks variety.
At this time, Kong Zhendong's advantages in combining the technical strengths of various companies were reflected.
He did not deliberately speed up or slow down the rhythm of the duel, but sometimes used his own rhythm, sometimes used the rhythm of Gaiting, and sometimes used the rhythm of Glinka or Fan Zhendong's batting.
After Kong Zhendong made a board of Gaiting-style forehand afterburner fast belt, the backhand suddenly Glinka pumped, but Linde was switching between the forehand and backhand of the same rhythm at this time, and the second board could not block the huge force of the backhand, and the return ball flew out of bounds.
Coach Bengersen finally smiled at this time and said: "Recently, I have been thinking about finding time to combine and sort out Zhendong's technical playing style, so that he can give up some incompatible playing techniques." But now it seems that, in Chinese terms, it is really not a lot of skills, although several sets of playing styles are not compatible. But the continuous playing, incompatible chaotic rhythm, just stunned Linde, who likes a stable rhythm the most. ”
Kong Zhendong's rhythm change can not only be used in the service wheel, but also in the receiving round, with different technical playing styles to receive the serve, the speed and rhythm of the return ball are also different, so it is enough to take the initiative in the receiving round.
After 4:6, Kong Zhendong and Linde exchanged five rounds of serves, and Kong Zhendong was able to grab three points in each round, not only successfully tying the score, but also leading the score to 19:16.
Linde was three points behind but had five serves.
Linde, who has always served well, suddenly made a spin on this serve, and the racket leaned forward to stand up at the moment of hitting the ball, and the rotation of the ball changed abruptly.
Although Linde is a fast-attacking play, he never plays tricks on the serve and fights for advantages, and he used to rely on the continuous attack of the forehand and backhand arc from the third board.
Obviously, in this service round, which is related to the fate of the team, Linde has made a change in the style of play.
Sweden has always been known as the Troika, while in China they like to refer to their strongest group members as the Five Tiger Generals.
The five Tigers are, in chronological order: Ape Allen, Linde, Waldner, Persson, Pitt Karlsson.
Among these five, Waldner has the best record against Asia and China.
The biggest difference between Washen and them lies in the variety of serves and the clever changes in tactics.
The five Tigers originally had their own style of play, and each had its own pride, and in normal games, they would not learn from the playing skills of other players.
But in the last five balls of this first game, which is related to the future fate of the elf team, Linde finally let go of his pride and used Waldner's serve change to surprise Kong Zhendong.
Kong Zhendong was not prepared enough, so he could only push the ball back with his backhand, and Linde's fast-paced continuous arc finally had room to play, crackling continuous attack, 17:19.
This ball pulled back Linde, who was behind, and the elves who were on the verge of losing, and the home fans, young and old, shouted "Eric, Eric!" fighting! ”
Linde changed his way of serving again, but with the prepared Kong Zhendong in the stage, he quickly competed for the initiative, even Waldner, who served like a god, could not ensure that he could win without points in the face of Kong Zhendong, and it was common to be caught on the serve, and Linde was naturally unavoidable.
The serve was broken, the score came to 20:17, and in the face of the game point, Linde played more actively and actively rushed.
After Linde rushed for a point, then made a mistake, looking at the score of 21:18 on the big screen, Conlf's fans could only accept the fact that the miracle did not come.
Bengersen understood that an experienced opponent like Linde, who had a particularly strong rhythm of hitting the ball, would play right into the opponent's arms with a mature tactical routine, so during the break, he just handed Kong Zhendong a bottle of water, and then combed through a few obviously eager balls that had lost points in the first game and made some points.
The coach who commands on the spot, sometimes from the perspective of a bystander, can play a role in the empowerment of some balls, so it is not Kong Zhendong who comes through and can be so awesome that he does not need a coach.
At the start of the second game, Linde started with five goals.
This game is a matter of life and death for the elf team. Therefore, from the beginning of the game, Linde began to imitate Waldner's changing style of play, and at the same time strengthened the active fighting.
Kong Zhendong continued to respond with a variety of playing styles of tempo changes. In the first game, Kong Zhendong and Linde were Kong Zhendong's change vs Linde's fast.
In the second game, Linde began to use Waldner's change of ball path vs Kong Zhendong's rhythm.
From the first point, the two played extremely closely.
After entering Kong Zhendong's service round, Linde, who put down his burden, still stubbornly and actively attacked, although it did not reverse the situation, but Kong Zhendong's service wheel was still struggling.
The game entered the white heat, Kong Zhendong and Linde bit point by point, and the atmosphere of the audience was also mobilized to the extreme.
Conv's location in the mountains and inaccessibility meant that there were far fewer Wolverine fans visiting the away stadium this time.
But Victoria and Madeleine, along with the two or three hundred Wolverine fans at the scene, shouted and cheered, and the momentum was not below the elf home fans.
The two took turns to serve five balls, and the score was never opened, and when Kong Zhendong ended the last round of five serves, the score of the two sides came to an astonishing 20:20.
Madeleine's worried palms were sweaty, and she muttered, "I've been fighting for so long, why are there two points to decide at this time?" It's a big loss! ”
Victoria understood what Madeleine meant, but she didn't have the mood to agree, and still stared at the game intently.
After the table tennis match enters 20 draws, one side needs to win two goals in a row to win the next game, which is a fairly fair game system to avoid ballooning.
Madeleine said at this point that it was a big loss, and she was referring to the issue of serve.
After 20 draws, one ball per person rotates, and the service order is the same as at the beginning of the game.
In other words, Linde served a ball first, and then Kong Zhendong served a ball.
At the moment of the two-point tiebreaker, who serves first, this offensive initiative, especially in the small ball stage, the era when the first three boards have a clear advantage, this service is a huge advantage.
Often the first side to serve, after successfully winning through the attack, the next ball to serve will cause huge pressure on the opponent, and the possibility of winning will be greatly increased.
The Wolverine's Bengersen and Sispan and others also frowned and stared at the two goals. As a passive party, Ben Gesen and others could only silently pray for Kong Zhendong to stabilize.
In his early years, Linde had the experience of not playing key balls well and collapsing after 20 draws. But it was precisely because of the immaturity of the year that Linde would later practice more diligently to compete for the 20-flat key ball.
At this time, his heart is as calm as water. Half-high toss, when the racket serves, push forward to the side.
Kong Zhendong did not stabilize as his coach and teammates expected at this time, and he was not as calm as Linde.
His tactical choice at this time is: hurry!
That's right, when he was suppressed by Linde's super fast pace for more than a game, and Linde began to play changes and key balls to stabilize the moment, Kong Zhendong suddenly burst into tears at the moment of receiving the serve.
Kong Zhendong's fast play is not a simple hitting afterburner and increasing the speed of the ball, but from the foot movement, to the driving force, to the body coordination of the front vertical, every link is speeding up in an instant.
Bang the board, Kong Zhendong quickly pumped Linde's backhand.
Linde really had a big scolding in his heart. I played so smoothly at a fast pace, you sabotaged as much as you wanted, and now it's time for the last two points to decide this game, the outcome of this round and the fate of the elf team, and you suddenly use my game to speed up?
Kong Zhendong's fast-paced hitting choice, both in terms of hitting action and psychology, is a huge impact on Linde.
