This is not the first time Kong Zhendong has watched Waldner play live.

Just over two months ago, he was in Barcelona to witness Waldner's defeat of arch-rival Geitin.

But in the distant audience, there is still a world of difference between sitting in the opponent's preparation area.

Although Waldner is recognized as the number one person in the world at this time, he is not undefeated in the league.

In the national team, Ape Allen, Persson, Pete Karlsson have all beaten him.

Kong Zhendong has beaten Pete Karlsson and Ape Allen, does it mean that he will definitely beat Waldner?

Kong Zhendong couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Waldner is known as the guerrilla captain because he is good at change, and at the same time he is good at attacking the weak with local advantages.

The reason why Persson and other national team players were able to beat him was because he trained with his teammates on weekdays, and from the beginning of the service link, there was no sense of surprise at all.

Losing the sense of surprise, Waldner and Persson could only fight for the ball, and naturally fell to the bottom in all aspects, and finally lost.

Kong Zhendong has played against Waldner more than 10 times in later years, and has seen more than 100 of his other game videos, but this kind of boot-scratching research is still not comparable to that of his fellow Swedish national team players who train all day.

After so many encounters, Kong Zhendong still can't figure out Waldner's serve, and often falls behind from the service link.

There are only two types of people in this world who can defeat Waldner at this stage, one is the most familiar person like Persson, and the other is a fierce madman like Geiting who has an unreasonable and irregular forehand.

In fact, Waldner had lost all of his battles against Getting before the Barcelona Olympics, and the reason why he was so excited about the Olympic Grand Slam was because he had beaten his old rival Geiting, who had never won before.

While there are two groups of people who can beat Waldner, Ryan Vasri doesn't belong to either.

Ryan Vasley has a good two-sided arc skills, but it's a pity that Waldner plays with him like a fast-attacking Asian player.

Kong Zhendong frowned and said to Coach Bengersen: "Today's Waldner style of play is particularly special. I've seen him fight before. Although his technical system has the essence of Asian fast attack, it is rare to see him play the top three board technology in Asia as the mainstream technology. ”

At this time, Waldner began to change from the service stage, and then the return and attack, and the third board attack were even more handy, which was completely an Asian rush-type fast attack player's style of play.

Bengersen sighed: "Waldner is the most cunning partisan captain, and he should have seen our intention to test his style of play in the first game." He knows you want to get to know him. It's a pity that Ryan is not strong enough, and Waldner only shows Asian fast break skills, which is enough to beat him. Waldner knows that you are from China, so he makes Asian technology, and you can't observe his reality and reality. ”

Kong Zhendong smiled: "Even in the face of 13-year-old me, is it still so rigorous? Is it difficult to use a light enemy to steal an opening advantage? ”

The first game quickly ended at 21:11. Ryan Vasley loses without temper.

Kong Zhendong said: "I counted, Waldner served a total of 17 balls, but there were only five variations. His serve is the most varied, and if the second game is still a similar situation, then he can only see ten changes in his serve at most, which is meaningless for him with a variety of ball paths. ”

Bengersen said: "Because Waldner is a master of deception, it is useless to blindly study his subconscious or small movements, I have been deceived by his deliberately small movements on the serve." What I do now, I hope is to be able to master his dozen or so serving rules, and lose a few points when the time comes! ”

In the second game, Kong Zhendong and Bengersen still underestimated Waldner's changes.

At 21:13, in the entire second game, Waldner served only fifteen balls.

Surprisingly, because of the combination, timing, and feints, he used a lot of the first game of service changes in the second game, and there were only three new service changes.

That's less than the minimum ten variations that Kong Zhendong and Bengersen speculated.

Ben Gesen patted Kong Zhendong on the shoulder and said: "Forget about this game first, forget Waldner, you go and win the second game, as long as you win the second game, the later tactics will be wrapped up in me." ”

At this time, in the stands, the Edward family looked a little dull.

In this game, Waldner performed in a decent manner and won very easily.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Waldner's best game.

Waldner's best game is often when facing the top players in Europe and Asia, playing with imagination, almost every game is constant, that is to enter the state and show the realm of God.

Ryan Vasri today is clearly not able to force Waldner to go all out.

Madeleine spread her hands and said, "Sure enough, it's a one-sided bloody abuse." Ben Gesen sent a guy like Ryan to give up the game, and if he continues to fight like this, I don't know if he can hold on until Kong Zhendong fights against Washen? ”

Victoria smiled: "This is just the first game, the second game of Kong Zhendong's opponent is Stila, this player should be able to win easily, right?" ”

Although Victoria and Madeleine also love to watch table tennis matches, only Sir Edward knows the best about the situation of each team.

Sir Edward frowned deeply and said: "Stella is a rookie who entered the Czech team last year, and in the past few years, Eastern Europe has changed dramatically, and his international competitions are relatively few, and his strength is like a fog. However, the Czech Republic's Pansky and Orlovski were also the founders of the fast-break combined arc circle play, and their status was no worse than Bengersen. In recent years, the Czech team has emerged from Janch and Kerber, both of whom are world-class players. Kerber is an alternative with a special style of play, but from Janch's fast arc skills, it can be seen that within the Czech team, the fast arc technology has been well inherited, so Styra is by no means easy to play. ”

"But," Sir Edward shook his head with a smile, "if Kong Zhendong can't beat Stirra, it would be the biggest joke to discuss him challenging Waldner." ”

In the second game, the Wolverine team Kong Zhendong faced off against the Skiers team Stila.

In the preparation seat of the Skiers, the players and coaching staff are staring intently at the field.

Kong Zhendong's performance in recent rounds is enough for them to be cautious.

Originally, they had Zhang Lei in the team, and as Kong Zhendong's teammate in the capital team, he should be the person who knows Kong Zhendong's strength, strength, and weaknesses best.

However, the expatriates of Chinese players are different from those who go abroad to earn a living privately. The players sent by the state will basically not explain the training of the national team and the local provincial team to the club team, nor will they analyze the advantages and disadvantages of other Chinese opponents with the coaches and players in the team.
