At the end of the first game, the coaching staff of both sides had three minutes to plan the tactics of the next game for the players.

Because of the number of games in the team competition, there are many pauses between each game, so the game stipulates that during the inter-game game, except for players who score 11 points and can rest and wipe their sweat, there is no tactical pause during the game.

Therefore, the coaching staff must arrange a game of tactics before the start of each game, and the game depends on the players' improvisation and adjustment.

Kong Zhendong won the first game, although the capital team still fell behind by a large score, but everyone still gave him hero-like treatment.

Even Zhang Lei, a national player who has always been emotionally unrevealed, couldn't help but smile and punched Kong Zhendong twice in the chest.

Coach Li Muhua personally handed Kong Zhendong a bottle of salt water, patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and then seized the time to talk about tactics.

On the other side of the table, although Li Hao lost a game, the team was far ahead, and there was no tense and pessimistic atmosphere in the team.

Coach Sun Ting said to Li Hao while swinging the racket with his hands: "In the second game, you still have to resolutely attack in the service link, which is quite a physically demanding style of play, I think in the second half of the first game, that kid is struggling, as long as you win this game, he will definitely stop in the third game." ”

Chen Weixing suggested next to him: "In the service link, pay attention to playing more forehand short balls. I analyzed it just now, although he grabbed your serve, but the forehand short ball is the most awkward, and he doesn't dare to use his backhand to catch the forehand ball like you, because the gap he exposes on his backhand is too big. ”

Li Hao nodded frequently, and wrote down the tactics of receiving the serve and continuing to attack, and the serve was mainly a short forehand ball.

On Kong Zhendong's side, Coach Li Muhua arranged more tactics to change, he said: "Zhendong, you fought bloody and courageous in this game. However, your physical strength cannot support you to play like this all the time, and this game should strengthen the change of serve, and use the change to promote the opponent's attack to become blind, and win by skill. In your own receiving session, pay attention to the rhythm, do not have to grab every ball, and change the way you receive the ball and the way you play, which is more threatening than blindly grabbing. ”

Kong Zhendong nodded, Coach Li Muhua's guiding ideology was consistent with his own ideas, and he had to rely on changes to win the second game.

In the second game, Li Hao took the lead in serving. He resolutely implemented the advice of his coach and teammates, and the main server pressed Kong Zhendong's forehand, pressing Kong Zhendong and unable to attack with his backhand.

Kong Zhendong gave up the tactic of grabbing every ball in this game, and chose to use a forehand fast belt and a quick cut transition, which caught Li Hao off guard.

Li Hao served five and only scored two points. 2:3, swap serves.

Kong Zhendong serves, throws a half-high ball with his left hand, holds the racket with his right hand, leans back slightly, and passes his arm forward quickly. The racket hits the lower back of the ping pong ball.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed: This shot type, hitting position, downspin ball!

Li Hao handed over the backhand, ready to rub it up and take the initiative to hold each other.

At the moment of handing over the shot, Li Hao felt that something was wrong, but the power action had been completed, anyway, the downspin ball could not be beaten to death, and the quality of the return ball was not high, so it could be adjusted in the middle of the pull.

Bang~ This is not the sound of rubbing the ball!

The table tennis ball bounced back quickly, rose directly to the top, and Kong Zhendong burst the diagonal line to score.

Chen Weixing hurriedly said: "How did you catch this ball?" Feel like you've misjudged the spin? Is Li Hao distracted? ”

In such an important life-and-death battle, of course Li Hao didn't get distracted, but Kong Zhendong, who looked like an authentic downspin ball, didn't turn at all.

Kong Zhendong served again, almost the same backward racket shape, almost the same pushing action, and the same hitting part.

Since it is a high-speed ball that does not spin, you have to push the ball back with a little downward pressure in the middle of the push, otherwise it will rise again!

Li Hao's choice of a flat push with downward pressure and a non-rotating fastball is an absolutely correct choice.

It's a pity that Kong Zhendong's ball has an extremely sinking downspin ball.

Li Hao crimped the downspin ball, returned the ball directly into the net, and Kong Zhendong scored another point.

Coach Sun Ting in Inner Mongolia was anxious and shouted: "Li Hao, pay attention to the ball, staring at the ball!" ”

Li Hao complained in his heart: I'm really staring at the ball very seriously!

The more carefully Li Hao stared at the ball, the more he fell into a strange circle of gambling sizes. Is this ball spinning? Or not turning?

Even if he occasionally bets on a goal, because of the hesitation of judging whether to turn or not, the quality of the return ball is not high, Kong Zhendong occupies the absolute initiative, calmly dispatches, and still scores.

In this way, Kong Zhendong's five serves scored five points in a row.

When Kong Zhendong sent the fourth and fifth balls, the coach of the Inner Mongolia team and Chen Weixing noticed: the exact same type of serve, racket type, hitting position, why can the ball not rotate, or extreme downspin?

Of course, they won't know that this is Kong Zhendong's long-term practice of turning-not forwarding the ball.

In the era of small balls where the first three boards occupy a very heavy position, mastering one or two sets of serving methods that can be called killer is a compulsory course for the world's top players.

Kong Zhendong's horizontal board hit the first three boards directly, and he was banned by the national team before the competition. Before the players of the national team did not study the style of play, Kong Zhendong's technique was forbidden to be displayed in the competition.

The horizontal board straight serve cannot be used, and Kong Zhendong has been practicing the 'turn-no-turn' serve method in the past six months.

This awkward way of serving actually contains the supreme meaning of table tennis rotation and change.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous for the supreme mystery to be grasped by a twelve-year-old boy?

In fact, everyone understands the mystery itself.

Chen Weixing said: "I can probably see that Kong Zhendong's racket shape is backward when he hits the ball, and the bottom of the table tennis ball is indeed a racket type that plays the spin ball, but if he hits the ball at the moment, the board is quickly erected, and the ball brought out will not spin." For the same shot, a friction shot is a downspin ball, and a hit shot is a non-spinning serve. ”

Everyone understands this truth, and even when every coach teaches the serve, he will distinguish the two sets of movements for the young players to practice.

Coach Sun Ting said: "But how did Kong Zhendong achieve two kinds of serve with such a big difference, and the serving action is almost the same?" ”

The mystery of Kong Zhendong is here. Everyone understands these two types of serve and the changes in them, of course, many players will also alternate the two types of serve in the continuous serve, seeking changes.

However, no player has ever carefully studied the two ways of serving, and the two ways of serving can be used to make two very different serves, extreme and non-rotational, by subtle and subtle changes in the movements.

This is the power of Kong Zhendong's rebirth experience. He knew that such an attempt would definitely succeed, and in the hard training, with the successful experience of his predecessors, he could go straight to the end without taking a detour in the training, so as to master this terrifying weapon of destruction in half a year of practice.
