Chapter 284: The First War between China and South Korea [Seeking Determination]
These five balls, watching Kong Zhendong play from leading to behind, the national table tennis coaching staff and players in the stands looked ugly.
On the contrary, the South Korean fans in the audience cheered louder and almost sang and danced.
Gruba's furious style of play was powerful, leading him by one point into his five serves, as if the big picture had been decided.
Gruba served quickly, and Kong Zhendong was forced to the edge of the cliff with his back to the water.
Everyone thought he was going to fight in the final return round, and he would rush forward.
But he didn't.
Kong Zhendong received the serve and swung short.
"Pendulum short?" Wang Tao was surprised.
"Why is your hand soft at this time, there is still a chance!" Yin Xiao sighed.
"Is it because you are suppressed, so you are panicked? This is a blind fight~" Wu Jingping couldn't understand the ball.
Mi Xingbang was silent, he didn't even follow the ball to see Gruba's return, his eyes were still fixed on Kong Zhendong, observing his complete technical restoration and the next beat.
Gruba returns an inside short ball.
Kong Zhendong chose to suck short at this time, and then split the long, directly hitting the far platform.
Oh~ There were bursts of exclamations from the stands.
After Kong Zhendong scored with a quick pull consecutive attack, Gruba chose a violent continuous attack with a miracle.
What Kong Zhendong did at this time was to convert the score of relying on speed and reaction to score by relying on the change of the ball path and the connection of the score.
If Kong Zhendong continues to use a blind forward style of play, Gruba can win the game by hitting back violently in a row.
However, Kong Zhendong turned to use a combination of long and short balls to match the line change, and Gruba's blind work meant that he blindly made mistakes.
With four consecutive goals, Kong Zhendong scored three points, led Gruba again, and won the first game point at 20:19.
Mi Xingbang sighed: "These balls are very valuable for research, and we must bring the video of this game back to China." This is not only Kong Zhendong defeating Gruba alone, but also an effective coping strategy against Gruba. ”
Coach Li Xiaodong said: "In the past, the reason why our Chinese team lost was that the players who played against Gruba either had solid basic skills and fought with him for small balls, or they had a strong impact on the straight board, blindly using speed to impact his violent continuous attack, Gruba had a strong continuous offensive and defensive conversion of both styles of play, so our two ways of playing players could not win him, thus forming a Gruba phobia within the national team." ”
Yin Xiao said: "Kong Zhendong's tactics are very clear, your single tactic of Gruba is very strong, and both aspects have reached the realm of almost invincible, then I will give you a switch, play a connection." Once any of Gruba's technical characteristics cannot continue to exert his strength, the incompatibility of his two skills will be exposed, and Gruba will lose if he uses line and rhythm to play this weakness of the connection. ”
At this time, the last ball of Gruba's serve in this round did not qualify for himself to win 20 draws and continue to fight.
At 21:19, Kong Zhendong won the first game.
Wu Jingping sighed: "Zhendong's victory against Gruba is not only a victory for one person, but also a victory for the collision of ideas. In the past, we always had a saying that in table tennis duels, the overall skill can never be compared to the outstanding strengths, but so many of our players with outstanding specialties used their basic skills to use their basic skills and their fast attack sharp strength to fight against Gruba, and they were all defeated. However, Kong Zhendong used multi-line, multi-tempo technical combinations and offensive and defensive transitions to defeat Gruba, and did not use his own specialties and killer features. This proves that there is still an advantage for well-rounded athletes. In the past, they couldn't beat athletes with outstanding specialties, but they still didn't grasp the rhythm and changes of technical combinations and connections, and didn't hit the opponent's transition point. If Kong Zhendong hits, he can win. ”
Kong Zhendong and Gruba's next second game is an enlarged version of the last five goals of the first game, and it is also to the Chinese team and Sith Pan, who will play against Gruba later, to deduce how to crack Gruba's technical advantage and how to beat him.
The combination of Gruba's two playing styles will be broken to score, but once he wants to choose any technique to continue attacking, Kong Zhendong immediately plays the change of ball path and rhythm, so that Gruba, who has gone to black, makes frequent mistakes.
In the end, Kong Zhendong took another city at 21:15 and also used a 2:0 game to win the team.
At this point, it was the turn of the Wolverine's home fans to suppress the South Korean baseballs.
Kong Zhendong and Liu Nankui both defeated their opponents 2:0 to win a victory.
However, Kong Zhendong's opponent is Gruba, the king of power in Eastern Europe and one of the top players in Europe known as Drogba in table tennis, and this weight is obviously not comparable to the Wolverine team's new talent Sith Panco.
The characteristic of South Korean sticks is that they can bend and stretch, and once the other party is awesome, they are willing to hibernate.
Unfortunately, the revelry of the Wolverines fans didn't last long, as the Wolverines lost their crucial third match in the third singles to Vasri.
The Wolverines were pushed to the edge of the cliff 1:2 in the first three games.
If they can't get two wins, then the team will have zero points in this game and watch the skiers lift the trophy later.
Bengesen faced a difficult choice and lost the third game, and the places and order of the last two games were determined by Bengesen.
If it is for stability, the Wolverines should put Kong Zhendong in the fourth round to try to win the second game and ensure that the team gets a point.
Because this year's record with the Skiers is the same as the game score, if the big points are the same, it will be necessary to perform extremely complex rule calculations to determine the champion.
Kong Zhendong is not willing to take such a risk, he still hopes that Sith Pan will win the fourth game, and he will win the fifth game, with 2 league points, directly overwhelm the skiers, and deserve to win the Swedish table tennis championship.
Kong Zhendong patted Sith Pan on the shoulder and said, "Sith, how is it?" I've proven that Gruba is not invincible. As long as you find that loophole, you can win, this is the last battle of the year, are you confident? ”
Sith Pan's body shook, and Gruba was almost an idol in his heart. To say that he could one day defeat Europe's top Gruba, Sith Pan never dared to think before.
But today is the last round of the season, and Kong Zhendong's words seem to bring Sispan back to the first round of the league after Kong Zhendong joined the Wolverine.
At that time, Kong Zhendong just patted himself on the shoulder and told himself that he would bring him a chance to play and let us achieve each other.
Kong Zhendong has already indicated the way to beat Gruba in the last game, and Gruba has only been recovering from the second round of the rout for too little, as long as I continue to play with the change of ball and rhythm, I will definitely take advantage of his confusion to win this match.
Sith Pan's confidence was burning and he nodded his head to show that he was confident of beating Gruba.
Both disciples wanted to give it a go, and Ben Gesen was willing to take a gamble and submitted a place to the league side.
Sith Pan was scheduled for Game 4 because he played against Liu Nankui in the first game, so the Ravens could only send Gruba in this game.
As soon as the fans on the court thought about it, they immediately realized that if Sith Pan won, they would meet the long-awaited Kong Zhendong vs Liu Nankui.
China's No. 1 new talent against South Korea's top football king.
Of course, whether this can happen depends on whether Sith Pan can defeat Gruba.
Purely compared to hard power, Sith Pan and Gruba are inferior in rank.
However, the charm of table tennis duel lies in the control of state, psychology, and tactical combinations, which can create a legend of defeating the strong with the weak.
After Gruba was beaten by Kong Zhendong in the second game, he only rested for the third game.
As a veteran galloping Europe, a victory or defeat can't cause much trauma to his soul.
However, Kong Zhendong just showed the tactic of directly hitting his tactical switch to connect the weakness, and he couldn't immediately think of a way to make up for it after half an hour.
Sith Pan's skills in technique and rhythm control are not the same as Kong Zhendong's, but his strength to bite his weaknesses and not relax is particularly strong.
Sith Pan followed Kong Zhendong's techniques and tactics, and he couldn't turn around as he wished, but he always maintained an advantage over Gruba in the midst of stumbling.
So while Gruba pulled one back with a ferocious strike in the second game, Sith Pan kept in mind the mutual accomplishments that Kong had promised, and he resolutely continued to play back and forth with ball control.
Sith Pan, who was on the back of the ranks, won the last point. Spanning many eras in the table tennis world, Gruba, who can't guess his real age, sighed lonely, as if he was ten years old in an instant.
Gruba's loneliness did not suppress the morale of the Crows, but only aroused Liu Nankui's crazy fighting spirit.
The same is true in the hearts of South Korean fans. The same generation of East Asian cultural influencers, they also firmly believe that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds.
They felt that Gruba's fall was the final word from God in order to achieve Liu Nankui's Jedi counterattack.
Kong Zhendong and Liu Nankui only had a simple warm-up, and then walked into the fateful duel.
This game, which was rendered as a battle for the fate of the two teams before the game, and when it finally happened, it was really the key to deciding whether the Wolverines could win the championship.
In addition to the league championship and the Wolverine, the victory or defeat of the Ravens, the duel between Kong Zhendong and Liu Nankui has long been given a lot of meaning by the belligerent South Korean media.
They don't care whether Kong Zhendong and Liu Nankui are separated by an era.
They deliberately exaggerated the success or failure of Liu Nankui against a 14-year-old boy to the height of which is stronger or weaker between Chinese table tennis and South Korean table tennis.
Kong Zhendong knows that with his current self, he can't represent the highest level of Chinese table tennis at all.
But in this game, at this point in time, the national table tennis Gothenburg World Table Tennis Championships fell again, and everyone stepped on the critical moment, Kong Zhendong decided to stand up.
Against the first king of the men's straight board near Taiwan, Kong Zhendong has no grasp and tactics to win, but under the spotlight of the South Korean media, he wants to burn his blood and slap the loudest!
Syllable!
It's not a slap, but Liu Nankui threw a serve~
