Chapter 117: Straight Board Glory Can't Lose!
"Huh? Isn't that the national player Lu Ning? Isn't he the first national player in southern Zhejiang? Why is the player next to him more musical than him? ”
Ye Ying saw that the staff of the Table Tennis Association in front of him gave way to the members of the South Zhejiang Provincial Team, one of whom was about 30 years old, a man of medium stature, and even the national player Lu Ning sat beside him with a respectful face.
"Zhejiang Provincial Members? Higher status than Lu Ning? Hong Lang's perspective couldn't see the face of the player, and he continued: "The southern Zhejiang team won the first two rounds and has won the top spot in the second group, according to the competition system, they will compete with the winner of the capital and Inner Mongolia team for the quarterfinals in the next game." ”
Hong Lang looked at the medium-sized back and pondered: Isn't Lu Ning the absolute number one of the southern Zhejiang provincial team? Why is this guy's status higher than Lu Ning? The table tennis provincial team is not a place where seniority is ranked according to age, and the status of the team is played by strength.
Could it be that this guy's strength is stronger than Lu Ning? Is there such a character in southern Zhejiang? Hong Lang pondered carefully, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his brain, and a legendary name appeared in his brain.
It can't be him, right? Didn't he go abroad a few years ago? Hong Lang didn't want to believe his guess, but the name kept overlapping with the back in front of him.
Hong Lang immediately called Li Jun over and asked him for a list of all the teams.
At this time, the 30-year-old member of the Zhejiang South Provincial Team was clasping his hands in front of his chest and watching the game with a slight frown.
Kong Zhendong on the court was violently picking up his backhand and throwing his forehand, and the audience around him shouted loudly with Kong Zhendong's every board.
The player glared at the audience around him dissatisfied, and said to Lu Ning: "After playing abroad for a few years, the table tennis level of domestic players has not improved, and the audience has never seen the world?" With this level of strength, you can only hit a soft chipping ball, right? ”
Lu Ning sat beside him awkwardly, and said, "Maybe I think this kind of continuous force technique is more novel!" ”
The elder team member obviously disdainfully said: "It's just a show! In the face of absolute power, it has long been bombarded into slag. Are you sure Long Can was killed by this kid? ”
Lu Ning was even more embarrassed: Didn't this kid eliminate me before he killed Cheng Longcan?
Seeing Lu Ning's embarrassed expression, the older players softened their tones: "In the past few years in Europe, I have deeply felt the difference between professional players and professional players. Europe's overall table tennis technology is not actually ahead of us, but their league is very professional. The players know how to respect the game, respect the profession, respect the fans. ”
The older player sighed, obviously a few years of table tennis career in Europe made him feel a lot. He continued: "But what about our country? Once it is an event organized by the association, when the ranking is not linked to the position of the national team, and when it is not linked to the number of participants in the international competition, you and Long Can obviously do not regard the Table Tennis Association Cup as a regular national competition, no respect for the champion, and no respect for the fans! ”
Lu Ning wanted to argue, but in the end he nodded teachablely. The seniors said that he deliberately released water in the Table Tennis Association Cup to cope with the game, but he did not admit it. But it's a fact that I didn't do my best, I didn't fight every ball.
I resisted, but after Kong Zhendong became a trend, he didn't do his best to get it back, which is absolutely impossible in the international competition where every point must be bitten.
As for Cheng Longcan's predecessors, as a commemorative and low-value last game, he may also have too many distractions!
At the mention of Cheng Longcan, the eyes of the older team members immediately sharpened: "Long Can's own loss of fighting spirit is his personal matter." When the national team grabbed power, wasn't he more vigorous? He was personally depressed and retired, but he shouldn't have lost to the twelve-year-old horizontal board boy in the name of the first person in the straight board. Cheng Longcan can lose, but China can't. ”
His eyes flashed with flames that were hotter than those of the surrounding fans, staring at Kong Zhendong's backhand and saying, "I, never allow it!" ”
At this time, the score on the court came to 10:7, and Chen Weixing continued to serve.
Kong Zhendong raised his hands and prepared to serve. He clearly felt that his breathing rate was a little faster than in the first game.
looked at the score on the sidelines, although he took the initiative throughout the game, but the decline in physical fitness caused him to take the initiative to score and lose points at the same time.
Violent play, playing is very passionate, but it is more difficult to control the ball, usually ten balls have to miss two or three, with the decline of physical fitness, the proportion of their own volleys out of bounds has increased.
Can you play differently? Kong Zhendong hesitated for a moment and immediately gave up.
I can only last half a game at most. There are a lot of mistakes in this style of play, but at least I take the initiative, and if I change to another style of play, get stuck in a slashing rhythm, or even be dragged to the third game, then I am definitely a lamb to the slaughter.
If this style of play continues, it will not show the strongest self, and it will even make the coach discount his strength, but there is no way but to fight!
In this crucial serve, Kong Zhendong still resolutely backhanded the post, and he didn't slam the first board, just picked.
After Chen Weixing passively returned the ball, Kong Zhendong still chose to exert his force unscrupulously, picking a rather deep backhand, almost out of bounds, Chen Weixing could only retreat and cut the ball back.
Kong Zhendong connected a board forehand to pump a large slash.
Out of bounds?
Coach Zheng jumped up anxiously: "This ball is still too simple to handle!" Out of bounds? Oh, it's okay, it's rubbing, and the referee has also sentenced it to rubbing. ”
"It's a balloon. Is it because your physical strength can't support this style of play? Handling the ball is too simple. Coach Li Muhua was also not satisfied with this luck score.
Halfway through the tiebreaker, players from both sides switched sides to gain a minute to wipe their sweat and drink water to listen to tactics.
The older players of southern Zhejiang Province in the stands stood up and walked out of the field: "Lu Ning, if this kid is only these two times, he is really blind to your pre-game evaluation?" The style of play is rough, the ball path is simple, in the next game, I'm afraid I don't need to make a move, you just kill him! ”
Lu Ning looked at Kong Zhendong, who was gasping and drinking water on the sidelines, and nodded firmly.
After Ye Ying saw that several bullish players from the southern Zhejiang team left, Hong Lang was still staring at the list in a daze. Ye Ying was curious: "What are you looking at?" Everyone is gone, and you are still in a daze, seeing a ghost? ”
Hong Lang said: "It's not a ghost, it's a god who has seen." He Zhiwen of the South Zhejiang Provincial Team,"
"Is it with Mi Xingbang, Guo Yuehua, the king of the straight board of their time, He Zhiwen?" Ye Ying's pupils dilated in shock.
Hong Lang nodded with an ugly face: "In the past few years, the national team has reformed, and the horizontal board has been more and more respected, and among the three main forces in the team competition, only one straight board is retained, and He Zhiwen has gradually been replaced by the younger Cheng Longcan in the team, but he is still one of the five major players in the team competition." Later, I heard that the competition with Cheng Longcandi was fierce, and finally left the national team with hatred and went to Europe, but I didn't expect the southern Zhejiang team to get him back this year. ”
This is a real straight board king who is much better than the retired Cheng Longcan's competitive state!
