During the break, Kong Zhendong wiped his sweat while listening to Coach Li Muhua's explanation of tactics.

"You played well in this game, and the backhand has actually limited Wang Tao's play, but in the handling of the final key ball, Wang Tao is more experienced." Coach Li Muhua comforted Kong Zhendong and worried that he would have psychological fluctuations because of the first game since losing the national championship.

Kong Zhendong's mentality is still well adjusted. Wang Tao was originally the eldest brother he admired very much, he has a changeable ball path, and he is a state player who is crazy, it is not surprising that he won a game, let alone just a game.

In the first few games, it was often the killer weapon that he used in the key balls to break the stalemate balance. Today, Wang Tao's timing is better, and his forehand advantage is more fully played.

Seeing that Kong Zhendong was not discouraged, Coach Li Muhua began to talk about the response in the second game: "Now the situation is very clear, Wang Tao's backhand was completely suppressed by you, and he has a certain advantage in his forehand pull, but it is not as big as your backhand." Therefore, your second game will play him as a straight board one-sided play, and if you successfully press the backhand, you can win. ”

In the second game, Kong Zhendong served five goals at the beginning.

The ball path is quite clear, implement the coach's intentions, and resolutely suppress the backhand.

Coach Zhang Xilin smiled and said, "Xingbang, Kong Zhendong, this young man is very interesting." The style of play is very oppressive to Maimang. In the first game, the kick-off was pressed by Wang Tao's backhand. He doesn't compromise, he doesn't take a detour, he just does! This kind of tough style of play, coupled with a steady style of play, has an unlimited future! ”

Mi Xingbang smiled and nodded. Zhang Xilin's perspective and mind are really similar to his own. The general coach looks at a young seedling, and pays more attention to whether his playing style is advanced and whether he can win the championship.

to the level of Mi Xingbang and Zhang Xilin. They pay more attention to what kind of status this player will have in the long development of national table tennis in the future.

Chen Weixing, Chen Zhibin, Wang Fei and others are all representative figures in the history of play.

Ma Wenhua, Chen Longcan, Wang Tao, they belong to the top national players who can carve the imprint of a certain era.

Mi Xingbang and Zhang Xilin, they select young seedlings, in addition to considering whether he can become a world champion in the future, but also considering what kind of players they will be.

In Mi Xingbang's heart, he has higher expectations for Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang.

Most of the players have a steady style of play and a conservative style of play.

The rushing style of the ball is also unstable.

A player like Kong Zhendong with a tough style of play and a steady and mellow style of play is indeed one in a million.

In the first game, although Wang Tao won the key ball with his forehand in the end, he actually did not have an advantage in the overall confrontation.

The second game is the confrontation between Kong Zhendong's comprehensive skills and Wang Tao's outstanding expertise.

Kong Zhendong insisted on his two-sided tactics of playing one side, and played Wang Tao, who couldn't borrow his backhand raw rubber, as a straight board player.

Wang Tao's movement and pace are far weaker than those of straight board players.

But Wang Tao is not in absolute weakness.

The duel in the international table tennis world, many times, is a style of play with outstanding specialties, and in a game, it is better than a player with a balanced technique.

Wang Tao relied on his tough forehand to pull the downspin ball, which was fast and spinning strongly. After turning into raw rubber, the active force is large, and the ball sinks through the net.

Between turning and not turning, Wang Tao can also snatch back a few points.

In this way, the score came to 19:16, Kong Zhendong led by three points, followed by Wang Tao's five serves.

Kong Zhendong stared at Wang Tao's wrist and tried to make a good prediction of the serve.

The last game was lost in the passivity of the key ball, and this game, this serve, is also the life and death ball that determines the outcome of the game.

Wang Tao avoided Kong Zhendong's backhand and fought for the initiative. This ball serves Kong Zhendong's forehand.

Kong Zhendong was slightly short, and his body was suddenly lifted upward.

The right hand leads the racket, swings from the bottom to the top, and when the big arm drives the small arm to pull the ball, there is also an adduction action.

Classic pull-down downspin ball.

Wang Tao has pulled too many downspin balls on his forehand in this game, but he didn't expect this ball to make Kong Zhendong take the serve and pull it first.

Wang Tao can only quickly rub one board to transition, and at the same time prepare for the next board to pull.

The friction of the ball is very sufficient, and the return point of the ball is also well controlled, but the ball cannot change the rotation of the ball, so Wang Tao can judge that this non-threatening downward rotation is in the past, Kong Zhendong must be pulling continuously, but this board is ready to exert its strength.

Boy, let's pull it on! Let the first hard board teach you how to be a man!

Kong Zhendong did continue to pull, but his legs quickly retreated half a step back, and his right hand changed to a downward lead to a backward lead.

The body has also changed from the bottom to the top of the center of gravity, for the ferocious sideways rotation from right to left!

I'm X! What do I see?

Wang Tao's preparatory movements were so frightened that he froze for half a beat!

Zhang Xilin was also frightened by this ball: "How did this continuous connection play?" After grabbing the downspin ball, directly pull the topspin ball on the side? Has your men's team developed such a tactical system? ”

Mi Xingbang looked at Yin Xiao and saw the shocked look of the boss with the latter's mouth open, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile helplessly.

With such a demonic apprentice, the coach's brain cells are scared to death, right?

After Kong Zhendong pulled the downspin, the flowing side pulled the topspin ball, and Wang Tao, who had never seen this articulation routine, directly missed the shot and lost this point.

Over the years, Wang Tao has spent a lot of time in multi-ball training for curve balls every day, pulling up and downspin balls, leading the direction of the racket, the direction of power, and the center of gravity movement, all of which have distinct differences.

Most of the domestic fast-break players have the ability to pull down the spin ball. Arc lap players who imitate European play, such as Zhang Lei, Chen Zhibin and others, mainly practice topspin confrontation.

In multi-ball training, according to the different return of the sparring partner, Wang Tao also according to the feel, sometimes pull the topspin, sometimes pull the downspin.

But in the official competition, in the process of continuous pulling, the connection change of downward rotation and upper rotation is carried out?

Perhaps after countless training afternoons, there will be such a whimsy. However, the changes and coordination of the details of the force in this force caused by the loopholes and delays are enough for the opponent to beat you to death.

What's more, the extreme downspin suddenly pulls the topspin, the racket is almost uncontrollable, and the probability of going out of bounds is extremely high, so a small number of athletes who play tickets give up after one or two attempts.

Kong Zhendong's ball must be a gamble of luck, he absolutely can't control such an arc.

The next point shattered Wang Tao's belief in an instant.

The first few boards are different, but from Kong Zhendong grabbing a board to spin down, the actions in the back are almost identical.

Ordinary people must not be able to suppress the plate type, ten balls and nine out of bounds under the rotation and upward rotation of the punch, Kong Zhendong hit for the second time in a row.

Is it still a gamble of luck? How did he do it?

Wang Tao stared at the 16:21 scoreboard unwillingly. With a mind full of doubts, I returned to the preparation bench and waited for the third game to come.
