Chapter 189: Who's Stepping Stone?
Before the start of the game, Ben Gesen looked at the audience of less than 1,000 people and couldn't help but feel a little cold.
At the beginning of the season, with his retirement and the Wolverine's poor performance in the previous rounds, the Wolverine's ball market was in shambles.
In the end, the Wolverines owner was forced to accept the suggestion to participate in the sale of the Skiers' discounted package tickets because they shared the home field with the Skiers.
At least one-third of these live spectators were Skiers fans who bought the tickets, and one-third were for the world's famous player, the top national player Karlsson, and there were less than 300 real Wolverine fans.
Although the package sales have increased the audience, Bengerson still thinks there is some shame.
He was once the king of fast arcs, and he was a man who left Bengeson's grip in the table tennis world.
Table tennis has a hundred years of history, and there are many famous generals, how many people may name the grip by name? His own forced style is much more high-end than Mi Xingbang's transfer board Dafa.
But now, his team actually has to survive on a set of tickets, and a figure like Karlsson can bring hundreds of fans to the stadium.
Bengersen clenched his fist, victory, only victory can bring the disappointed fans back to the scene, we must keep winning!
To play table tennis, faith and will are very important, but you can't win just by relying on the belief that you will win.
As soon as the game began, the Kiruna Bruins sent a series of critical hits.
After the main player Karlsson won the first set, the No. 2 singles of the Kiruna Bruins fought hard in three games, and also bit the No. 2 main force of the Wolverines with difficulty.
The 0-2 start was worse than the worst start Bengersen could have thought of.
Assistant coach Garcia saw Bengerson's face cloudy and said tentatively: "We have two young players behind us, they are more aggressive, maybe they can get some face back." ”
Ben Gesen frowned and said, "If I come back and go in person, I don't necessarily have to guarantee that I will win it?" Rely on that little Chinese ghost?"
At this time, even more desperate and frustrated than Bengersen was the former substitute of the Wolverines, Sith Pan, who played a few games.
The young Sith waited several rounds before finally getting into the line-up, but unfortunately he was in the fourth game.
But the team is already 0:2, and it is natural that the thirteen-year-old Chinese boy in the third game was shaved his head.
It's already 0:3, and the opportunity to play that I have been waiting for since last season has been in vain again.
Sith tightened the racket in his hand, maybe he should give up the table tennis ball and find a supermarket odd job.
Someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder, Sith raised his head, and the Chinese boy who had finished warming up was already standing in front of him, his face was indifferent, but there seemed to be a fire in his eyes.
Kong Zhendong stared at Sith. Pan Dao: "Sith, your hard training in the past few days has also inspired me, I will bring you a chance to play, you have to work hard, let's achieve each other!" ”
Seeing that the Sith showed signs of regaining his vitality, Kong Zhendong turned around and stepped onto his first professional arena.
Although it was the third singles, this opponent was by no means simple, and the opponent was Sweden's Pete Brown. Karlsson's younger brother, Green. Karlsson.
At this time, Pete Karlsson of the Bruins was mentoring his younger brother with the coach.
He heard that the famous player Seifer was already coaching his younger brother in preparation for the World Junior Championships early next year.
Every table tennis king has dominated the world since he was the World Youth Championship. His strength is slightly inferior to Seifer, but he thinks that his younger brother Green is more talented, and after the training of the league, he will definitely be able to beat Little Seifer next year and make a splash in the World Youth Championships.
Peter. Karlsson pointed: "Green, I have played against many Chinese national players. They have solid fundamentals, and the ball inside the table is perfect. You can't get caught up in them, you have to pull away, play with momentum, and smash him with a forehand. ”
Green. Karlsson nodded, his brother is a world champion who has defeated the Chinese team, and he naturally trusts his brother's judgment.
Before the start of the match, Kong Zhendong practiced with Carlsen Jr.
Obviously, he was just familiar with the round training of the new ball before the game, but Kong Zhendong felt that Karlsson Jr. had begun to exert his strength.
Kong Zhendong frowned slightly: Entering the state so quickly? It seems that the style of play is more ferocious than that of Piet Karlsson?
Kong Zhendong fought Pietkarlsson many times in his last life.
The Karlsson brothers are actually more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese.
When Pite Karlsson plays, he is very focused, and he looks a little like a monkey. His offensive swing is big, and the movement of swinging the racket over his head is especially like the action of Sun Wukong raising his hand to look into the distance, so fans give him the nickname of the Monkey King.
If Pite Karlsson is the Monkey King of table tennis, then his brother is at least a replica of a six-eared macaque.
At the beginning of the game, Karlsson Jr. served quickly, and the line was not tricky, but the forward momentum was large.
Kong Zhendong played a quick backhand, and the slash hit Karlsson's backhand far away.
Karlsson Jr. reacted very quickly, and the tall man took a stride behind his side, completing the effect of the two actions of others retreating and panning.
At the same time, Karlsson leans forward with a forehand and pulls the ball quickly on the backhand.
The ball speed is extremely fast, but there is an excellent sinking over the net, Kong Zhendong is not good at exerting force, so he has to dial the ball high, and Karlsson Jr. continues to cover and score directly.
Bengersen sighed on the sidelines and said: "Karlsson's ability to teach his younger brother is really good, his two tricks, diagonal retreat, and sideways fast pull sinking ball, Karlsson Jr. is already very skilled." ”
Kong Zhendong was not frightened by this ball, but looked forward to this ball even more.
He knew that many people in the table tennis circle in China did not have a high opinion of Karlsson, which was mainly influenced by the shocking duel between the two pines in later generations.
In the later World Table Tennis Championships, China encountered Sweden, and when the overall situation was extremely passive, China sent Jin Song, the king of the attack of the snow unit for many years, to face off against Sweden's Karlsson.
As a result, the golden pine shines in the world, and Karlsson swallows the defeat.
The game made Karlsson look down on him.
But in reality, Karlsson just suddenly encountered a new style of play, and he was short of response for a while.
Karlsson is an authentic European two-sided arc attacking style of play.
In the Swedish team, his arc skills are still above Waldner, second only to Persson, the king of power balls, and looking at Europe, he is also a European super-first-class master in the two-sided arc.
Kong Zhendong attaches great importance to Pete. Karlsson, who originally didn't pay much attention to his younger brother, but now he found that Karlsson Jr. has been with Pete from the ball to his unique skills. Karlsson is the same, it is an excellent training object!
The two teenagers, who regarded the opponent as the target of training, actually attacked each other at the beginning.
Peter. Karlsson was first shocked: Am I watching a fake Chinese player play, why is his full-force play more violent than Gaiting?
