Chapter 143: Wang Tao's Dismount!
In today's national table tennis team, Mi Xingbang is the head coach of the men's team, and Zhang Xilin is the head coach of the women's team, and the two are of the same level.
It stands to reason that in table tennis, the men's team is more dominant, so Mi Xingbang, as the head coach of the men's team, should have a higher status in the table tennis center.
However, Mi Xingbang has been the head coach of the men's team for less than a year, while Zhang Xilin has been the head coach of the women's team for 20 years.
Since Rong Guosheng won the world championship and became the head coach of men's table tennis after retiring, national table tennis has always had a tradition of men's table tennis head coach and head coach.
But in the 80s, the strength of the men's team was declining, the international record was worse than a year, and the head coach of men's table tennis was changed one after another.
The position of the head coach of men's table tennis is not secure, who dares to concurrently serve as the head coach?
On the contrary, Zhang Xilin has coached the women's team for nearly 20 years, except for the failure of the women's team at the Chiba World Table Tennis Championships last year, he has not tasted a defeat, how can such a highly decorated female table tennis coach suddenly become interested in the men's table tennis competition?
Mi Xingbang took Yin Xiao and prepared to say hello to Zhang Xilin. After all, the age and qualifications of the people are more than 20 years old.
brought Yin Xiao with him, but found that Wu Jingping was not there. Yin Xiao smiled: "Old Wu loves to be heartfelt!" As soon as the Lingnan team game was over just now, he went to Marin's coach to ask about his training. The Lingnan team will only stay in the capital for another day or two before returning to Lingnan, and Lao Wu must have wanted to finalize Marin's entry into the national team in advance. ”
Mi Xingbang nodded, Marin is indeed a good seedling of straight and anti-glue play. With Wu Jingping's vacant seat, Mi Xingbang just did a favor, and invited Zhang Xilin to come over and watch the game with a very low attitude.
Zhang Xilin is also a bit old-fashioned. Quite simply, I promised not to go around the bend.
After a few people sat down, Mi Xingbang said inconveniently by Yin Xiao: "Director Zhang, the dust has settled on the women's table tennis competition yesterday, and within the national team, has the quota for the Barcelona Olympics been finalized?" ”
Yin Xiao's questioning was very skillful. The table tennis championships are held staggered between men's and women's competitions, and the women's team champion was decided yesterday.
After the end of the competition, the women's national table tennis team should then start the selection of Olympic quotas, how can Zhang Xilin have the kung fu to watch the men's competition?
Zhang Xilin smiled: "This year, the women's team is still ready to follow the old tradition. First draw up a large list, go to the Zhengding training base for closed training, and then select the number of participants according to the training status. "Zhang Xilin does have the capital to adhere to tradition, and the women's team has encountered very few challenges in the past ten years, unlike the men's team that has been forced into a corner and can only be forced to change.
Mi Xingbang and Zhang Xilin then chatted casually about the competitive status of several main male and female players in the team, and the first game of the final began.
Kong Zhendong, who won nine consecutive victories, continued to serve as the No. 1 singles.
The People's Liberation Army naturally sent Wang Tao, a brother with a strong impact but extremely stable scores.
Zhang Xilin watched very little men's games, but he was obviously very interested in this game, and he smiled: "Wang Tao is a typical horizontal board fast attack combined with arc circle play, backhand raw rubber, fast ball speed, and enough strength. Kong Zhendong is a typical European arc circle combined with fast attack play, I heard that he has some skills in the two-sided arc circle? At such a young age, Yin Xiao is not simple, and it takes a lot of effort. ”
Yin Xiao said modestly: "There is still some exaggeration in the newspaper, you see the kickoff." Zhendong's backhand is still fast, fast-dialing, and fast-belt arc circles also have some skills, but the ability to continue to pull backhands like Europeans is still relatively weak. ”
Wang Tao has already started to serve, he has watched Kong Zhendong a few games, and knows that he has a lot of backhand and strong holding ability, but he still resolutely sends Kong Zhendong's backhand.
Brother Tao is powerful, Kong Zhendong is remembered in his bones. Compared with the so-called domestic first brother Ma Wenhua, he is actually more afraid of confrontation with Wang Tao.
Wang Tao is the quintessential master of tactics, often using his bizarre ball paths and flexible changes to overcome stronger opponents.
Kong Zhendong smiled bitterly, he has to be strong enough to force Brother Tao to use his cunning side against himself, right?
Judging from such a clear way of pressing the backhand now, I don't usually take my backhand in my eyes!
Is my backhand so weak? Kong Zhendong stepped forward with his left leg, his waist drove his shoulders, his big arm drove his lower arm, and he quickly played the diagonal line.
Wang Tao is holding the racket with his left hand, so Kong Zhendong's backhand slash is right for his forehand.
Wang Tao's style of play is characterized by not retreating from the stage, rushing in the stage, this ball Kong Zhendong grabbed it first, and the general opponent will choose to defend a shot and enter the stalemate.
Wang Tao is resolutely not defensive, his sideways way is very weird, not the rotation of the whole body, but the short body lift.
This kind of force is different from the horizontal force of the waist that Kong Zhendong and others are used to, this kind of force action is small, fast, easy to reduce, and has the force of upward lifting.
Kong Zhendong was in the national team in his last life, and there was a saying that the duel with Wang Tao was the most experienced.
Such a small force action, but such a sufficient strength, and no matter the power action or ball speed, it is a grade faster than Kong Zhendong, Kong Zhendong lost the first point convincingly.
In the second ball, Wang Tao continued to serve and pressed the backhand.
Kong Zhendong was also very resolute in returning the ball, and he didn't get a bargain for a forehand in the last ball, so he decisively hit the backhand this time.
It's good that his Czech Republic is full of power and backhand fast, and he asks himself if he is a grandmaster-level existence in China.
Kong Zhendong decisively fought against Wang Tao on a backhand, fighting speed with speed and suppressing power with strength.
After holding three or four boards, Kong Zhendong had no choice but to accept the facts, and he really couldn't fight hard.
Wang Tao's backhand is a rare raw rubber in later generations, and Kong Zhendong also had a good taste of the power of the first backhand raw rubber in the country.
In the international table tennis arena after he became famous in his last life, raw rubber has completely declined, and several raw rubber masters he has met are overstretched in the face of the gradually comprehensive anti-rubber routine.
Because of this, he still underestimated raw rubber.
As one of the granular positive rubber, raw rubber belongs to special granular positive rubber, just like long rubber.
Contrary to the main feature of long rubber is that the particles are longer and easy to suction the ball and unload, the rubber characteristics of raw rubber are that the paddle surface is soft, elastic enough, and it is born with afterburner and elastic effect.
Kong Zhendong used his conventional anti-rubber fast bullet to fight Wang Tao's raw rubber with a bonus effect.
In the case of the already weak absolute strength, he couldn't bear Wang Tao's backhand with a bonus effect, and lost another point in the stalemate.
In previous matches, Kong Zhendong's backhand was suppressed, not the first time. But it's the first time that I've been crushed by the fast play and fast dial that I'm good at.
Wang Tao resolutely forced Kong Zhendong to hold his backhand with him on his own serve, just to set up a dismount to defeat him at the strongest point!
