In line with Coach Yin Xiao's feelings, Kong Zhendong also felt that he was facing the arc resistant rubber, and there was a little less change.

He felt that the ball that Lin Gangqiang hit was sinking more and more, and it was inevitable that he would go to the net if he continued to push flat and play quickly.

The ordinary pull ball will sink into the sea.

What made him feel even more uncomfortable was Lin Gangqiang's left-handed play.

If it was a forehand that violently grabbed the big slash, he believed he could still have some chances, but Lin Gangqiang's left hand was too easy to hit his backhand with a forehand.

Kong Zhendong tried a few backhand pulls from small angles, but the threat was limited due to the lack of power.

The score came to 3:9, and Kong Zhendong knew that he had to change.

The first thing he did was to almost give up the curling style of play in the return serve.

His style of play is a combination of two-sided arcs and fast attacks, the root base, or fast attack.

Lin Gangqiang's anti-arc rubber, the overall ball speed is not fast, and Kong Zhendong's fast-attacking style of play is not the straight board fast play whirlwind encountered in the previous game.

The fast attack he pursues is a quick change. Quick reaction, fast change, fast ball path transformation.

The biggest threat to the arc rubber is to suppress the curve ball.

Kong Zhendong gave up the arc circle and chose to use the fast attack to suppress Lin Gangqiang's long ball on the baseline.

The best space for arc resistant rubber lies in handling half-billiards and bursting arc balls.

Kong Zhendong returned to the origin of the fast attack of the horizontal board, and adopted the change of combining the length and the short to suppress the play of the anti-arc rubber.

Kong Zhendong first pressed the bottom line and the long ball, and then chose a sudden swing short, landing near the net, Lin Gangqiang could only be forced to give up the low arc of the anti-arc rubber return ball, choose to rub the anti-rubber up, Kong Zhendong directly killed with a board. Finally scored.

Wu Jingping admired this ball quite a lot: "I just said that Zhendong has changed little. This ball is very bold. As a player in the two-sided arc circle, he took the initiative to give up the forward arc circle and changed to play the combination of long and short ball changes, this kind of thinking change in ball path and tactics is more like the time when Coach Mi did! ”

Yin Xiao said with a smile: "I'll just say, Zhendong is like a rice guide, Lin Gangqiang is a rice guide who plays like a rice guide, who wins, it depends on who can better grasp the essence of change." ”

Kong Zhendong knows that if the anti-arc rubber is used well, the effect of the anti-violent arc ball is better than that of the chipping ball, so the brutal play of the two-sided rush arc ball cannot beat Lin Gangqiang.

Lin Gangqiang's strength is not strong, his speed is not fast, what does he rely on to stand in the national team?

It's change, it's playing and using your brain.

Many people use raw rubber to return to the arc ball, but it does not rotate, and the arc also sinks. But in the face of such a player, a bombardment can be solved.

Lin Gangqiang's arc-proof rubber is like a marshmallow, immune to violent forward rushes.

After Kong Zhendong gave up the violent arc circle, he began to fully show his basic skills of fast attack, especially the handling of short balls in the table.

Mi Xingbang nodded with a smile and said, "Zhendong is a little interesting, it's ingenious." In fact, this kind of anti-arc rubber play, the European side will put it and long rubber together, and they are called strange plates. The Europeans actually have a lot of new technologies, and Kong Zhendong is useless for these strange board plays, but uses the Chinese fast attack handed down by our predecessors. ”

Yin Xiao said: "Different from the tricky changes of the straight board fast attack, the essence of the horizontal board fast attack lies in the unmeasurable degree of the line and the landing point. It is commonly known as the combination of long and short, multi-point flowering. Zhendong's short ball after the long ball is suppressed, and the fight is very good. When pulling the arc circle, Zhendong was always limited by Lin Gangqiang's forehand and backhand, and when it came to the table, it was completely reversed. Lin Gangqiang's left-hand grip has become a weakness. The short ball was held, and Zhendong continued to fight Lin Gang's backhand with his forehand, and at this time, the elasticity of the anti-arc rubber and the trapping became a weakness. ”

Kong Zhendong chased the score two more points.

Mi Xingbang said with a smile at this time: "If it's just a fast attack, it's not enough, if Lin Gangqiang is only these two times, it is impossible to sit firmly in the first singles of the strong team Lingnan." ”

Kong Zhendong's momentum of chasing points did come to an abrupt end at this time.

He continued to choose the short ball pressed in the table, and the continuous pressure of the backhand was successful, but Lin Gangqiang was still able to turn the board freely in the quick round, and suddenly hit the backhand with the positive board and the backhand, which caught him off guard and lost points.

Lin Gangqiang's years of hard work in the transfer skills of the board were vividly displayed in the following minutes.

Although Kong Zhendong accelerated the rhythm of offensive and defensive conversion, Lin Gangqiang was still able to turn the board in time in the duel, and several sudden line and rotation changes caught him off guard, although he did not lose points continuously, but the two had contacts and contacts, and the difference of 2~3 points was never close.

At 16:18, Lin Gangqiang's last serve of the round.

Everyone felt the decisive influence of this serve on the direction of the match.

Kong Zhendong won it, and for the first time since the opening game, the score was close to 1 point, and the next five serve were promising.

If Lin Gangqiang gets the 19th point, not only will the point difference be stable at a safe distance, but he will also be almost invincible in the subsequent Kong Zhendong service game.

Because the anti-arc rubber has always had the reputation of the king of the serve, because of the unique trapping performance, it will hardly eat the serve and lose points.

Lin Gangqiang has been playing for so many years, and no one has scored five points in a row on his serve, so as long as this ball stares Kong Zhendong to death at 16 points, he will win the first game.

The magic and fun of table tennis is here, often not the last point of a game is the most critical, in the game, if you can be high enough to decide the winner of the point, it will be a very exciting experience.

It seems to be a long game, but the victory or defeat is seen in a few boards of a one-point ball, and it can be seen in a second or two.

Lin Gangqiang served quickly and attacked Kong Zhendong's backhand baseline.

Kong Zhendong has a cross-cut fast rubbing straight line, and if the opposite side is a right-handed general, this is a good sneak forehand. But in the face of the left-handed general Lin Gangqiang, this ball is still his backhand.

Lin Gangqiang's backhand anti-arc rubber is quickly pumped, the arc is very flat, and the ball speed is very fast.

Kong Zhendong chose to catch up at this time.

Yin Xiao was anxious: "So flat, so fast to return the ball, why do you catch up?" If you want to grab it, you can't rush up, and it will leave a loophole in the far triangle for the other party. ”

At the moment of Yin Xiao's annoyance, Kong Zhendong rushed to meet the ball first.

Mi Xingbang's eyes shrank suddenly, no one noticed, and there was a long-awaited excitement and appreciation hidden inside.

Kong Zhendong chose the rising period when the table tennis hit the table just started and pulled the ball strongly.

Lin Gangqiang sneered, knowing that he couldn't kill me, but he still wanted to be strong?

But what is it?

Kong Zhendong did pull out a curved ball with a high arc, but it was not a forward arc ball that couldn't be rushed.

It was actually a majestic high-hanging arc ball in the previous game.
