Chapter 167: Him Is Respecting Him
Kong Zhendong can finally understand why the coaches have seen the evil ghosts of hell before the game starts.
In the first game of the game, facing such a strong opponent, it can really be called a hellish difficult start.
He also felt a hint of the mockery of fate in his heart, in the island game animation of later generations, Chinese table tennis is not a hell-level existence.
But today, Wang Tao dares to say in front of Primoratz: Brother, I am your hellish existence! was immediately shot to death.
Yin Xiao was worried that Kong Zhendong was too young to recognize the horror of the pair, he explained: "Zhendong, you should know a little about Primoratz, he and Rublescu are the European Championships doubles champion, the 88 Hancheng Olympic doubles runner-up, his rigorous arc skills, will not eat the delicate feel of the serve at all, far stronger than the footsteps of other European players, so that he is called the first model of doubles." β
Kong Zhendong nodded, if table tennis can develop games similar to NBA or FIFA in the future, then the doubles game characters he created will definitely be created according to Primorac's template.
Wu Jingping then explained: "At Zhendong's age, he may not be able to understand the horror of Schulbeck. Schulbeck was the European legend of Mi Hingbang who guided that era. At that time, Schulbeck of Yugoslavia, Bengesen of Sweden, Orlovsky of the Czech Republic, and JΓΆnnier of Hungary combined China's fast attack with Japan's arc ball to form a unique fast attack combined with arc technology system, which was known as the four kings of European fast arc. Schulbeck is the only one of the four who is still competing at the Olympics. β
Kong Zhendong, as the inheritor of the arc circle combined with fast attack play, of course, has a lot of treasures about the development history of European fast attack combined with arc circle, and he taught the solemn Czech fast arc play, which is a branch of the four European fast arc kings.
Mi Xingbang also had mixed feelings at this time, Schulbeck was the men's doubles champion of the two World Table Tennis Championships in his era, and his doubles dominance was almost invincible, and if table tennis had been introduced in the Olympics that year, he would have been a doubles Grand Slam winner.
Now this old opponent, 43 years old, still has to fight with his disciples, both admires him and wants to kill him.
Yugoslavia was plagued by civil war and ethnic conflicts, and Schulbek and Primorac's original partners were broken up because of ethnic antagonism.
Primorac and Schulbeck, who had experienced turmoil, were about to drown in the dust, but they were invited to the Olympics.
Neither of them has a partner, but they have already run in, but they found that the two are natural partners.
Primorac is the pinnacle of European arc combined with fast attack play, and the only one who can compete with him in arc skills is probably only Sweden Persson.
Schulbeck's fast-break combined with curling play combined with Primorac's solidity with a sharp fast-break allowed the pair to quickly take the lead in the opening stages of the first game.
Mi Xingbang frowned and said: "Wang Tao Lu Ning's style of play is blocked by the opponent's rigorous defensive skills, and he can't play it, so if he fights like this, he will definitely lose." β
Kong Zhendong pondered: "The combination of Wang Tao and Lu Ning is different from the traditional straight and horizontal combination. In the traditional straight-and-horizontal combination, the crossboard player will focus on defense and cohesion, and create opportunities for the straight-board fast attacker by making games. However, Wang Tao himself is an active attacking style of play, coupled with Lu Ning, who has strong attack power, the two form a double rush style of double pressure, and the general opponent has long been crushed by this huge attack firepower. β
Yin Xiao said: "It's a pity that Schulbeck is a veteran who has been fighting for 20 years after all, Primoratz's defensive skills are too strong, Wang Tao's double attack can't be beaten, after entering the stalemate, the quality of the ball held by the two is too obvious with the other party, and there is no chance to play at this pace." β
Although Wang Tao and the two worked hard to hit the ball in the middle game, the difference between the two sides has been maintained at four or five points, and it is hopeless to turn the tables in the first game.
In the Olympic Games, except for the tiebreaker, there is no pause in the course of each game, so even if there is any coping strategy, you can only hope for the second game.
Seeing that there were only a few points left in the first game, Mi Xingbang asked, "What tactics should be used in the second game?" What do you have to do? β
What tactics to use to win the European fast arc ancestor and the first person in the arc circle?
No coach can answer this question.
Kong Zhendong thought for a while and said: "I think it is still necessary to fight in a targeted manner." Since we are at a clear disadvantage. Then use fighting tactics and adopt the style of pressing one and putting one out. In the rotation shot, both Wang Tao and Lu Ning grabbed Schulbeck's point and let Primorac score. Although Schulbeck is a master of the arc circle, he is 43 years old after all, and the two of them take turns to press him to play, even if Primorac scores successfully, he can't catch up with the two points of the Chinese team. β
The Chinese team lost in the first game, and the overseas Chinese who supported the scene sweated. In a best-of-three game, losing one game is too difficult to play.
During the break, Mi Xingbang decisively arranged Kong Zhendong's proposed tactics of crushing Schulbeck and letting go of Primorac.
In the second game, whether it was Wang Tao or Lu Ning, as long as it was Schulbeck who received the ball on the next board, he immediately changed his offensive suppression.
Kong Zhendong's suggestion was that the two should not only attack and suppress Schulbeck, but also use completely different techniques to beat him to the end.
The veteran is experienced, but with multiple new technologies taking turns attacking and bombing, Schulbeck is immediately exhausted.
Kong Zhendong asked Wang Tao to mainly use his weird backhand raw rubber fast attack to disrupt Schulbeck's rhythm, and Lu Ning kept bombing with Rizhi's explosive arc.
At the beginning of the second game, because Primorac could still score points steadily, the disadvantages of Schulbeck's suppression did not attract the attention of the two. When the warm boiled frog progressed to the middle game, it became Wang Tao Lu Ning's steady lead of four or five points.
At this time, Primorac realized that it was useless to score alone, and Wang Tao Luning scored alternately to stabilize the difference, and won the second game without danger.
When it came to the tiebreaker, Kong Zhendong's tactical suggestions showed their true power. Originally, Primorac thought that he could make up for the disadvantage of a few points in the third game by relying on his own initiative to attack, but in the deciding game, he found that once Schulbeck was strangled to death, it was not as simple as losing a scoring point, but the quality of the entire connecting return ball was reduced, making it difficult for him to attack on the stage.
Schulbeck was suppressed by a completely different offensive system of the straight and horizontal boards for three games, the age of 43, the lack of systematic training caused by the upheaval in Eastern Europe and other shortcomings were exposed, and the former Eastern European king combination, in the case of one person was absolutely restricted, both of them could not play a smooth good ball, and lost the tiebreaker without temper.
Finally, Wang Tao Lu Ning won 2:1 and passed the first hurdle of the hellish group stage.
