The inverted board is not a very new technology, it is just a two-sided board that Mi Xingbang shocked the world in the 80s, and through the alternating hitting of two kinds of rubber, he played a completely different return line and spin.

However, some straight boarders, when it is inconvenient to catch the ball in the backhand position, invent an extended racket and use the backhand backhand to pocket the ball. This is not only an inverted board, but also a rather immature prototype of a straight board and horizontal play.

Kong Zhendong's eyes froze, this kind of backhand position hits the ball with a backhand shape similar to a horizontal board, although it is forced, but if this Wang Long can master this hand more skillfully, it is also a miracle soldier.

The next few balls really verified Kong Zhendong's worries. Wang Long's backhand reversal has not yet reached the standard of systematic horizontal play, but this strange backhand play still makes Chen Zhibing very uncomfortable.

The most common tactic is to suppress the backhand and surprise the forehand. This pair of traditional players who push left and attack right is accurate one by one.

Because in the backhand position, the straight boarder must move and turn sideways, and once the force is continuously sideways, the gap in the forehand leaks out.

Wang Long's backhand inverted play, the body is still standing in the center of the table, and after the backhand is returned, the center of gravity is very stable, which can continue the follow-up forehand attack.

Wang Lung's backhand return ball is not of high quality, just to make up for the weakness of the backhand and continue to attack the forehand.

In the face of this novel style of play, Chen Zhibing, who was not adaptable, fought hard in three games and lost 1:2.

This sudden defeat poured cold water on the hearts of everyone in the capital team.

The most pressure is Li Muhua, who was originally preparing to send Kong Zhendong to the court for exercise with a big score of 2:0.

If Kong Zhendong loses this game, if anyone makes any mistakes in the next two games, the capital team will be historically unable to qualify from the group, and Li Muhua's head coach will also be the end.

Li Muhua sighed, he was under a lot of pressure, so he still called Kong Zhendong over to relieve pressure and said: "Zhendong, it doesn't matter, just show the training level and style of the competition!" ”

Kong Zhendong nodded, and the rudimentary play of the straight board and horizontal play in advance was indeed unexpected, which is probably the foundation of Jiangbei. Only the unremitting efforts and research of this generation can create disciples who will soar to the sky in 20 years.

In the third game, Kong Zhendong faced off against Shen Boling.

Hong Lang was not optimistic about Kong Zhendong, he said directly: "Ye Ying, the Table Tennis Association didn't say that the capital team must be recorded, in the next few games, let's pay attention to the strong team Lingnan, or the People's Liberation Army." ”

Ye Yingqi said: "This is Zhendong's counterattack and the game that turned the tide of the battle, why don't you record it, hurry up, and continue to explain!" ”

Flood Falls Khan!

The veteran Chen Zhibing has capsized in the face of a strange new style of play, which eye can you see to turn the tide of the war?

It's definitely a giveaway.

The ball kicked off on the field, and Hong Lang explained: "Shen Boling of the Jiangbei team sent a short forehand ball, and Kong Zhendong swung short, which was decent. Shen Boling rubbed it up, Kong Zhendong had a chance, and pulled his forehand! How is it a backhand? People have weird backhand backshots, why do they still play backhands? ”

Seeing that Hong Lang's explanation was directly questioned, Ye Ying quit, and she argued: "Zhendong must have a way to limit the opponent's backhand." ”

Kong Zhendong continued to pull Shen Boling's backhand, also to verify whether the opponent also has the skill of backhand horizontal play, and then see what level this style of play has developed.

By the time of Wang Yajun and Xue Fei, the straight board horizontal hitting system has been quite perfect, and the straight shooting and horizontal hitting techniques include flat blocking, fast dialing, fast belt, fast tearing, picking, bounce, pulling the ball, reverse pulling, etc., which is almost no different from the ordinary horizontal plate arc circle combined with fast attack play.

Kong Zhendong's first few balls were to test the development of Shen Boling's horizontal play?

Among the straight board players in the 90s that Kong Zhendong came into contact with in his last life, only Liu Guobang skillfully applied the straight board horizontal hitting technique, but he has not yet formed a completely equal horizontal board technical playing system.

Kong Zhendong tested the depth of Shen Boling's playing style, and in the eyes of Hong Lang, the coach and commentator of the capital team, it was passively let the opponent's backhand skills be vividly displayed.

After testing eight balls, Kong Zhendong fell behind 2:6.

Kong Zhendong found that Shen Boling was even stronger than Wang Long in the initiative of the backhand, although there was still a gap between his skills and changes and Liu Guobang in the mature period, but he also saw the traces of years of pondering and practice, and the backhand already had considerable skills.

After the test was completed, Kong Zhendong began to fight back!

Kong Zhendong started to work hard from the ninth goal, and the offensive rhythm became significantly faster.

Ye Ying looked excited: "Zhendong's state is different, he began to fight back, he must have found a way to restrain the other party." ”

Hong Lang still saw that Kong Zhendong was not pleasing to the eye, he retorted: "There is an improvement in momentum, but the tactics are obviously blind, the other party has developed a new way of playing the backhand, so he should work the forehand and scheduling changes, but Kong Zhendong still chose to compete with others on the backhand, and obviously walked into a dead end." ”

Kong Zhendong is indeed continuing to exert his strength, strengthening the opponent's horizontal backhand.

Because Kong Zhendong knew that in the nineties, the role of raids and bluffs was more. The backhand of the straight backhand can play most of the technical moves of the backhand.

But because of the awkward hand shape, the backhand force is more difficult, and the transmission of the entire force from the ground to the waist and abdomen to the wrist is not as handy as the horizontal board.

Therefore, Kong Zhendong's conclusion is that the initial straight and horizontal play is technically shocking savior, but in terms of strength, there are still obvious flaws in the confrontation with the strength ball.

Ordinary athletes, seeing this novel straight backhand play, after suffering a few losses, will take a detour to find other breakthroughs.

Only Kong Zhendong chooses to be tough! If you can't hit a ball, then add more force, because Kong Zhendong is a natural force, so although he is not a vigorous muscular man, his power still breaks through the limit of Shen Boling's backhand.

Ye Ying smiled and said, "Yay! Zhendong is the best, he actually smashed the opponent's new backhand technology, the brave are fearless, so the brave will win! ”

Hong Lang answered dryly: "I really didn't expect that Kong Zhendong hit the opponent's strongest point, and after breaking through, he found that the power of the backhand is still a weakness that has not been solved by this style of play." There are ideas, and of course, there is a certain amount of luck, but the brute force has succeeded in finding the right way. ”

Kong Zhendong relied on his brute force, brutally broke Shen Boling's backhand, and won the first game 21:15.

In the second game, another drawback of Shen Boling's style of play was reflected, that is, this style of play weakened the fast, fierce, change, and turn of the traditional straight board.

And once it enters the stalemate, Kong Zhendong will firmly hit the backhand and hold each other, depending on who collapses first with the backhand.

In the end, Kong Zhendong won the second game 21:14.

When everyone thought that Kong Zhendong was playing to learn from experience and give people away, Kong Zhendong won a complete victory and brought the capital team to the track of victory.
