At the critical juncture of the fierce change in the style of national table tennis, Yu Lao, who has retired, is not willing to be on the cusp.

Because no one dares to ensure that the playing route they choose is a more advanced playing system in the future.

Take the changes in the previous two years as an example, the national table tennis realized that the straight board fast attack was thoroughly pondered by the European arc circle, so it implemented the straight board anti-glue play method on a large scale.

Compared with the straight plate long rubber and the positive rubber play, the reverse rubber is to use a relatively smooth rubber, so as to give up a certain speed and ferocity, but strengthen the rotation and fight with the Europeans.

At that time, the national team was not like the later generations to do anything blooming, reform is a swarm, after the coaching staff decided, immediately arranged for most of the subordinates in their teenage straight board raw rubber, long rubber fast-attacking teenagers, all give up the original style of play, all specializing in straight board anti-glue.

As a result, after so many years, it has been proved that the straight board anti-glue play method is not advanced for Europe, but the domestic straight board fast-attack seedlings have all been scrapped. There has been a fault in the inheritance of China's straight fast attack.

The bloody lesson is in front of him, and Yu Lao does not dare to guarantee that changing the European style of play at this time is the way out, what if he practices another batch of good seedlings? You can't take this risk!

In his heart, he had rejected the idea of introducing Kong Zhendong into the capital team, and Yu Lao was able to watch the game more detachedly.

From the audience's point of view, Yu Lao felt even more that this teenager's control of the rhythm was awesome!

Although Li Jun rushed to attack all over the field, the change of offensive and defensive rhythm and the choice of killing timing were all under the control of Kong Zhendong.

What surprised Yu Lao even more was that the first few balls of this teenager's horizontal board hitting posture were still very rusty, but in the second half of the game, they became more and more fluent.

Is there really someone who can have a mature playing system without professional training?

Many folk masters, as long as they practice for a long time, have their own style of play, but the style of play cannot become a complete system.

Kong Zhendong's gradual display of the prototype of a mature table tennis national player made Yu Lao love talent again!

Yu Lao muttered: While the style of play is not formed, maybe it can be shaped, and I will talk to this kid later.

Soon the score came to 20:15, and in the second half, the onlookers and teenagers could see Kong Zhendong's advantage.

This ball has entered a multi-shot hold again, and Kong Zhendong's skills have become more and more skilled. Li Jun's return ball came to the backhand position.

Kong Zhendong instinctively wanted to use the unique skill of his previous life - backhand cutting the ball.

In the holding ball, suddenly cutting the ball with a backhand, changing the rhythm, and turning defense into offense is Kong Zhendong's killer move to face Waldner in his last life, and Liu Guopang finally won.

In the previous life, the backhand cut ball suddenly brought a fast pace and defeated the opponent, so everyone respected the king of the "fast belt"!

Kong Zhendong couldn't help complaining: Can't you take a nickname to be majestic? It sounds like a rhythm, and that's not a compliment.

is also the absolute control of the rhythm, if you are in the island country, you will definitely be honorifized: the king of the strongest control on the surface, the absolute realm and the like, this Dora style?

Entering the last ball, the rhythm was completely controlled, and Kong Zhendong actually had the heart to complain.

At the moment when he was about to cut the ball, Kong Zhendong felt that if he used the trick of defeating Lao Wa on the wild ball occasion of the cement platform, would he force the bar too high? Let's have a traditional chipping!

This change was cut to cutting, and the downspin of the ball became topspin, which made Li Junke miserable.

Li Jun's heart is as collapsed as Hong Tao was at the beginning, you have the advantage, is it necessary to have a feint in the end?

With Li Jun's misjudgment and catching the ball out of bounds, Kong Zhendong scored the last point, 21:15.

Yu Lao smiled and said to Ye Xiaoya: "This last feint is so beautiful, with brains, this kid really has the potential of a professional player, let's talk about it!" ”

Seeing that Yu Lao seemed to have the intention of accepting apprentices, Ye Xiaoya immediately happily pulled Kong Zhendong over.

"Yu Lao is good!" Kong Zhendong has a respectful attitude, but his mood is very peaceful.

When he entered the national team in his last life, Yu Lao had already retired, and he had never dealt with Yu Lao when he was in the local provincial team, but he knew that he was a senior who had contributed to the national game, and he still had respect from the bottom of his heart.

Yu Lao said with interest: "Young man, listen to Xiaoya, you haven't received professional training?" I see that you have a good talent, have you ever thought about playing in the capital team? ”

Guo Bing and Ye Xiaoya were looking forward to Kong Zhendong on the side, and they were ecstatic, and bowed their heads.

Kong Zhendong nodded with a smile and said: "In my spare time, I am willing to exchange playing styles with the masters of the capital team, but I am not ready to make this a career!" ”

This is from the heart, Kong Zhendong trained his table tennis skills with the help of Li Jun, but since he chose to play, he was not ready to lose.

Even if it is a hobby, but the champion blood in his previous life makes Kong Zhendong stubbornly want to win every game, but he has no idea of embarking on the road of a professional player.

Yu Lao felt that it was too early to talk about his career with a ten-year-old child, and he was still willing to talk more about the style of play: "Young man, I think your crossboard forehand and backhand can pull out the arc ball, if the backhand is practiced well, even stronger than the average European player, are you interested in accepting the professional guidance of the capital team, learn more fast attack skills, and develop a mature style of play combining fast attack and arc circle?" ”

Kong Zhendong said: "Is it a fast attack combined with an arc circle?" Instead of arcing circles combined with fast breaks? ”

The reversal of the order of the two words is a completely different playing system, Xiaoya and Guo Bing don't understand, but Yu Lao understands what Kong Zhendong means.

The combination of fast attack and arc circle is the main direction of change in the current domestic style of play, which is to assist the European arc ball technology on the basis of China's fast attack.

Kong Zhendong insists on a comprehensive study of the European arc circle play, and on the basis of the European play, it integrates the essence of China's fast attack.

Yu Lao said dissatisfiedly: "The European arc circle has also comprehensively suppressed us in the past few years, young people have to look at the long term, do you think Asians must have a future in the whole Taiwan arc circle of tall Europeans?" ”

Kong Zhendong doesn't want to argue about the advantages and disadvantages of the two styles of play, but he firmly believes that at least in the small-ball era, he wants to win all the time, and based on his physical talent and table tennis experience, it is more reliable to inherit the playing style of the previous life.

As for whether or not to develop and study a new style of play after seven or eight years later, after the age of 20. At that time, I might have become a doctor or an engineer and stay away from table tennis!

Seeing that Kong Zhendong was particularly insistent on his style of play, Yu Lao also gave up the idea of introducing him into the capital team.

Xiaoya and Guo Bing felt sorry for Kong Zhendong, but they also admired his courage and persistence.

What makes the table tennis twin stars great? And not just because they ended the Europeans' table tennis domination or left the Olympic gold medal in China.

Kong Zhendong's greatness lies in the fact that he had the courage to inherit advanced European technology, integrate the essence of national football fast attack, and develop a playing system that originated in Europe but was stronger than Europe.

Liu Guopang's greatness lies in the fact that at the desperate moment when the national ball fast attack talents withered and he was transformed, he had the courage to stick to the study of the fast attack and finally achieved the first Chinese Grand Slam.

Gemini's transcendence and perseverance stem from their courage and persistence in the face of choice, and they are great because of it!
