Chapter 131: Faster, Faster!
Xiong Ke's strong outburst caught the Heihe provincial team a little off guard.
From Wang Yonggang's sweep of Chen Zhibing to the reversal of the big score now, it seems that it is just a moment.
Wang Yonggang is the oldest in the team, so he discussed the lineup with the head coach like a coach.
Another coach of the coaching staff said: "According to the normal arrangement, Wang Fei should be directly allowed to fight for the fourth game, equalize the score, and let Yonggang hold the decisive game and have the best chance of winning." ”
The head coach of the Black River team said: "We have to make a breakthrough. Yonggang, our most stable point is still you, pressing you in the fourth game, can ensure an equalizer, and then let Wang Fei go to the decisive game? ”
Wang Yonggang nodded and said, "I'm fine!" ”
The head coach of the capital team, Li Muhua, and Kong Zhendong both thought that according to the order, he would play the fifth game to play the tiebreaker, but they did not expect the Heihe team to put Wang Yonggang in the fourth game.
Because Wang Yonggang faced Chen Zhibing in the first game, Xiong Ke had just finished the third game, and Kong Zhendong became the only choice to play the fourth game.
This sudden arrangement completely disrupted the formation of the coaching staff of the capital team.
If Kong Zhendong loses, then in the fifth game, who will be sent to fight against Wang Fei, who is running all over Taiwan and has a strong impact?
Chen Zhibing's strength is superior, but he lost one game today and is not in good shape.
Xiong Ke has just counterattacked and is in good shape, but Wang Fei and him just happened to be on the ball, and Xiong Ke may not be able to perform a miracle again.
Kong Zhendong's tactics of beating Wang Fei's all-Taiwan running to press the forehand and the rhythm of the backhand with the backhand being smashed, are something that no one else can replicate.
Li Muhua and others only discovered at this time that Chen Zhibing and Xiong Ke, whoever guards the fifth level, are both more auspicious and less lucky.
The last hope can only be that Kong Zhendong directly win the duel with Wang Yonggang and end the game early.
Li Muhua and others were shocked: When did Kong Zhendong become the character who completely dominated the fate of the capital team?
Kong Zhendong began to warm up before the game. Although head coach Li Muhua did not give the death order that Wang Yonggang must be taken, Kong Zhendong also faintly felt that this was the decisive game that came in advance.
There are many matches in the national championships, and the schedule is intensive, and the fatigue and injuries of the players will accumulate and explode in the last few games, so he will not delay the fifth game that can be solved in four games.
After the two sides became familiar with the new ball, Kong Zhendong took the lead in serving.
Swish! Kong Zhendong spun half-sideways and sent a short backhand ball.
Wang Yonggang quickly swung short.
Kong Zhendong swings back.
Wang Yonggang suddenly rubbed the long ball and raided the backhand bottom line.
Kong Zhendong stepped onto the stage, his body was raised to the left front, but his backhand was slammed to the right back.
Almost with the movement inertia of the whole body, to fight this backhand ball and score points.
Wang Yonggang's eyes shrank slightly. This kid is even more difficult than he imagined.
Prior to this match, the Heihe Provincial team focused on studying the footage of the Capital team's match.
Because Zhang Lei, Chen Zhibing, and Xiong Ke are all old teammates of the national team and are very familiar with each other's playing styles, the Heihe Provincial Team will focus on Kong Zhendong.
Through the observation of Kong Zhendong, the Heihe Provincial Team also has some targeted playing arrangements.
They found that although Kong Zhendong was able to choose new targeted tactics in almost every game, he defeated the strong with the weak and defeated the national players. The premise is that Kong Zhendong has enough time to adapt to his opponent.
He tends to concede points in the first few goals and also uses it to adapt to the opponent's ball and rhythm. His tricks are based on the premise of gradually adapting to the rhythm of the opponent's shots.
Therefore, when Wang Yonggang beat Chen Zhibing, he tried the tactics of the coaching staff. Playing with a fast and almost messy rhythm, even an old bird like Chen Zhibing is not suitable for planting for a while, not to mention Kong Zhendong, whose basic skills are far inferior?
This set of tactics itself needs to be performed by Wang Yonggang, who has comprehended the rhythm and basic skills to the limit. Wang Fei's ball control is not yet at home, and playing this kind of rhythm that is so fast that it is almost messed up, it is possible that he did not mess up the opponent, but he messed up first. Therefore, Wang Fei did not use it when he punched Zhendong in the second game.
Although Kong Zhendong scored the first point, he also clearly felt that Wang Yonggang's rhythm of the duel was far beyond the usual one.
This kind of quick and crisp hand-to-hand combat makes Kong Zhendong's tactical style of play impossible to perform.
This tactic of disrupting the opponent by bringing a fast pace is not unfamiliar. Kong Zhendong once played against amateur players in sports schools in last year's Table Tennis Association Cup.
At that time, it was the discomfort of a rival who was used to driving a 200KM/h fast car and suddenly drove a 350KM/h F1 car.
If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to change.
Kong Zhendong bullied other amateur players at the time and chose a fast-paced style of play, but now Wang Yonggang bullied him for his unstable foundation and lack of experience in the duel, so he chose to abuse him with a fast-paced style of play.
What's more, Wang Yonggang himself is a representative of the straight and sharp style of play, and his fast fight whirlwind is unbearable even for Chen Zhibing and other national players, let alone Kong Zhendong, who is unprepared.
After Wang Yonggang's fast whirlwind was unleashed, the score began to gradually lead.
Li Xiaodong in the stands sighed: "Wang Yonggang chose the most correct way to play. This may be called the existence of the generation gap. Let Kong Zhendong adapt to the rhythm of play, and he will have the opportunity to perform targeted tactics. Such a sudden acceleration will split the game into countless technical moves, and Kong Zhendong's shortcomings of being too shallow will inevitably be exposed. If you can't use targeted tactics, I'm afraid Kong Zhendong will have to lose this game. ”
"Of course, losing is not necessarily a bad thing, which makes him understand how important it is to lay the foundation of basic technical play at this stage, and not blindly rely on tactics to win!" Coach Li Xiaodong said in a soothing tone.
The score on the court came to 7:13, and halfway through the first game, it was Kong Zhendong's turn to serve five goals again.
This game did teach him a lot, but he was not prepared to pay this expensive tuition fee with failure.
He was willing to trade epoch-making ideas in exchange.
Kong Zhendong serves.
Wang Yonggang is still picking back quickly, with a fast pace.
Kong Zhendong's backhand quick dial is faster than Wang Yonggang!
How can it be faster than Wang Yonggang?
Wang Yonggang didn't understand, Li Muhua and Coach Zheng didn't understand, and Li Xiaodong in the stands didn't understand.
The coaches of the People's Liberation Army and the Lingnan team who watched the battle on both sides did not understand!
If you don't figure it out, you'll have to keep observing.
Two such balls appeared again, and Liu Guobang was the first to find the trick.
Liu Guobang exclaimed: "Brother Tao, this should still be the continuous force technique used by Kong Zhendong, but unlike the previous two-three-beat tactical combination, all his movements are coherent, and there is almost no reduction action, so the rhythm is faster than Wang Yonggang!" ”
The essence of Kong Zhendong's playing style at this time is not a novel technique, but a change in the rhythm of the duel between the big ball and the small ball.
Kong Zhendong, as the first-hand inheritor of the two styles of play, has a more unforgettable imprint on the changes in the rhythm of them.
People in the 21st century will look back at the table tennis games in the 90s and find that the ball speed was really fast at that time, but the pace of the duel is actually not as fast as the big ball in the 21st century.
Why?
