After scoring a point, Zhang Lei did not serve the second ball very impatiently. Instead, the ping ball will be played twice on the floor, and then it will bounce twice on the table to control the rhythm, and then it will be brought to the front of the eye, and the short body is ready to serve.

Madeleine was sweating at this time, and she complained to her sister: "Sister, did that guy named Zhang Lei deliberately delay time when he saw that he had scored a point?" I don't think that's how other players serve. Let Zhendong take longer to prepare, is it a loss? ”

The beautiful sisters sitting next to Mi Xingbang and other coaching staff are naturally Victoria and Madeleine, but they don't know each other yet.

Mi Xingbang's English is quite good, and I heard that the sisters seemed to be very anxious about Kong Zhendong, this kid hasn't been playing in Sweden for a long time, and he has such a die-hard fan?

Mi Xingbang couldn't help but be interested in what the Victoria sisters had to say.

Victoria also frowned: "I see Persson, Waldner, Ape Allen they serve, they are not like this, maybe their Chinese serve is more cunning, want to deceive Kong Zhendong's feints, right?" ”

"Little girl, I think you have a misunderstanding." Mi Xingbang said: "The preparation time of Chinese players and European players is different, mainly because of the brewing and change of rhythm, so that there is no intention to let the opponent prolong the waiting time. What we're looking for is a sudden change in the moment of the serve. Mi Xingbang saw that the sisters who love table tennis seemed to have some misunderstandings about China's style of play, so he made a few words to explain.

In the eighties and nineties, Chinese table tennis sent a lot of coaches and players abroad, and there was no very strict technical style blockade. What's more, Mi Xingbang has been coaching in Europe for many years, and for ordinary fans, some unclassified techniques can still be talked about.

As soon as Mi Xingbang's voice fell, Zhang Lei's serve had already flown out of the board.

Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei were almost saved at the moment when the table tennis ball left the board, and the rhythm instantly switched from calm to magnificent.

The atmosphere in the stadium also seemed to burst out at the extreme point of depression.

With Mi Xingbang's point, Victoria and Madeleine seem to be more able to compare the differences between Chinese and European serving systems.

European athletes often have a short preparation time when they serve, and when they prepare, their bodies are also moving in a relatively large way, which is in the same vein as the high-speed duel after serving.

The Chinese team's serve is often in the preparation stage, the adjustment time is long, deliberately slowed down, and even reaches the moment of stagnation, and then at the moment of serving, the person, the racket, and the ball explode in an instant, and the whole rhythm is also absolutely static in an instant to switch to a high-speed matchup.

In addition to the spin of the ball itself and the variability of the ball path, the control and switching of this rhythm are also the key factors that make the Europeans absolutely passive.Chinese

Fortunately, Kong Zhendong has also received this kind of serve since he was a child, and the training of the receiving system, Zhang Lei's advantage was offset by Kong Zhendong's quasi-construction and rush attack.

Kong Zhendong's board on the stage is a forehand fighting short ball in the stage, Zhang Lei's 20 years of table tennis skills are there, and he is naturally willing to accompany him.

So the audience applauded. European viewers have seen a lot of Persson's kind of forehand continuous pull-to-pull, and they have also seen Roscoff's backhand continuous fast play, but this is the first time they have seen the short ball in the table with the variety of players on both sides.

This dexterous change presents the beauty and change of ping pong in an almost artistic way, which makes them addicted.

Although the audience of the Wolverine team watched dozens of Kong Zhendong's balls, and the Skiers fans also watched dozens of Zhang Lei's balls, such a vivid and incisive,-for-tat fight in the stage can only be played when the two of them have a direct dialogue.

Coach Peng smiled and said, "Zhendong is really bold!" With his basic skills in Taiwan, he fought with Zhang Lei, his courage is commendable, but he is still giving away points! ”

Coach Li nodded in agreement, but Mi Xingbang stared at the central table with interest, watching the fast-paced hand-to-hand meeting of the two for a moment.

Empirically, he agrees with Coach Peng's judgment, but he trusts Kong Zhendong's mind. The short ball in the table is a situation created by this kid receiving the serve and attacking, and he must have relied on it to do so.

Kong Zhendong's basic skills are of course not as good as Zhang Lei, but he still dares to constantly speed up the pace of fighting in Taiwan, of course, he has something to rely on.

It relies on the quick reflexes of the peak of the fourteen-year-old. This agile response is an upgraded version of China's traditional Xiaokuailing technology in terms of internal technology.

Once the small ball is played in the table, Zhang Lei's advantage in strength is weakened, if it is a continuous backhand fast play of pure basic skills, or a short forehand swing back and forth, and pick each other back and forth, Zhang Lei's basic skills are dominant.

But Kong Zhendong is fighting in the stage, using eighteen kinds of weapons back and forth, quickly switching, in this way, every kind of fighting skills, Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei both have, even if Zhang Lei's basic skills are stronger, in one or two boards, Kong Zhendong can't be killed at all.

On the contrary, the changes of continuous picking, plucking, springing, swinging, cutting, and cutting have higher requirements for reaction.

In table tennis, the strength of a 14-year-old player can never compete with a 26-year-old player, and the reaction speed of a 26-year-old player can never keep up with a 14-year-old player, which is an objective law of physical development.

Kong Zhendong took the initiative to fight quickly with Zhang Lei in the arena, not the basic skills, but the reaction speed!

After switching various in-stage technologies for six or seven boards in a row, Zhang Lei returned the ball to the net, and Kong Zhendong won this point.

Coach Peng and Coach Li felt their faces snapped in the stands~

Fortunately, there are foreigners around, and I can't understand the conversation between the two just now, otherwise my face will be embarrassed.

Although Kong Zhendong won this point, Coach Peng and Coach Li faintly felt that something was wrong, but they had not yet analyzed the subtleties of Kong Zhendong's tactics.

In the next few serves, as well as Kong Zhendong's own five serves, he took the initiative to lead the ball to the table as much as possible, and after ten balls, Kong Zhendong led 7:3.

At this time, Coach Peng and Coach Li fully understood that Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei were not fighting for basic skills, but for reflexes.

Coach Li sighed: "It's really old to live and learn." It turns out that those who fight in the stage, with good skills and solid basic skills, may also lose. Why hasn't anyone fought like this before? ”

Coach Peng also shook his head and sighed, and Mi Xingbang relieved the two of them: "Young players beat old players through short balls in the table, this kind of ball was rare before, because first of all, to achieve reflexes, it is still necessary to have similar basic skills as a foundation." With the much more developed motor nerves of Europeans, a fourteen-year-old European boy reacts definitely faster than Zhang Lei, but can he beat Zhang Lei with a short ball in the table? The basic skills are not good, and foreign players give up such an attempt. Domestically, Kong Zhendong has indeed shown us a new way. If we are the coach of a young player, when we coach him to play the veteran player on the sidelines, we will often order him to avoid the tabletop ball with the strongest basic skills and the most experienced veteran players. The obedient young players naturally gave up the ball in the table to fight the old players. This is that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courage they have. ”

Coach Peng and Coach Li nodded with a smile, they were taught, Coach Peng was puzzled: "But the young players are overwhelmed by the old players in the stage, and Kong Zhendong is by no means the first person in such a game, right?" ”

Mi Xingbang nodded and said: "This is also another valuable thing about Zhendong. I just talked about listening to the coach, and naturally avoided the strengths of the veteran players. Those who are disobedient, thorny, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, they may beat the master to death and win the game, but they have not formed a clear tactical thinking, they may be in the table to win the ball with reflexes, but they don't realize that they only think that they rely on hard work and courage! Kong Zhendong is different, this eight consecutive balls, tactical thinking is very clear, and it also allows us to see at a glance that it is to fight for reaction, fight for change, and use Xiao Kuailing to kill Zhang Lei's solid, heavy, and no loopholes, which is the victory of tactical thinking. ”

At this time, Zhang Lei on the field had realized that he was proud of his more than ten years of experience in billiards, but at this time it had become a shortcoming, and he began to consciously enhance the continuous arc attack of COSCO Taiwan to regain the advantage.

Kong Zhendong has the advantage in this scene, his fourteen-year-old boy used the tactics of defeating the veteran with a small fast spirit battle in the stage, several coaches on the stage had ten balls, and it was analyzed in less than five minutes, but for Kong Zhendong, it was many years of thinking, summarizing and transforming.

In 2015, before Kong Zhendong crossed, the Chinese men's team at that time had learned more and more from Europe's all-round strength style of play with the reform of the International Table Tennis Federation.

Kong Zhendong believes that in a few years, there will be Chinese playing with European power-type playing against Japanese and Korean geniuses using Chinese small fast play.

So will there be a day in the future when the talented players cultivated by the Japanese and South Korean systems will limit the Chinese players to fight in the inner stage, and then defeat the Chinese team's proud basic skills with the agile reaction of thirteen or fourteen years old?

This possibility exists!

With this sense of crisis, after being reborn, Kong Zhendong has been fighting against powerful national players who are older than him and have enough strength for a long time. He has also been practicing and perfecting the technical topic of how a 14-year-old can defeat a 26-year-old national player.

And he has always believed that this issue is more likely to become a reality in the era of small balls, which are more focused on dexterity and change, and more on reaction speed over absolute power.

He hopes that he is now down-to-earth and thoroughly researches this topic, and that the Chinese team will really encounter a similar crisis in the future, and he can seek a breakthrough from it.

After all, only you are the easiest to beat your fourteen-year-old self!

The next ten balls have become a tug-of-war in the true sense, not only the stalemate of the score, but also the speed and rhythm of the speed and slowdown, the swing and absorption of the duel ball, after 12:8, the situation on the field suddenly changed again~
