In table tennis, there are two types of opponents that are the most difficult to play.

The first is a little-known and strange opponent, but the style of play is still compatible.

In the long history of the table tennis world, almost all the top five athletes in the world have been shot in the head by an unfamiliar opponent outside the top 100 and suffered a round of the World Series.

The second is to train the teammates who are most familiar with them together, especially against their doubles partners.

Just like Kong Zhendong vs. Liu Guobang, Waldner vs. Persson, and later Xu Xin vs. Jico. Every confrontation is a classic battle between the tip of the needle and the wheat mang.

Kong Zhendong's most formal one-and-a-half-month practice in his life is with Zheng Zheng, and even Zheng Zheng's current backhand skills are like a beggar's version of himself.

Because they train each other together, they understand their skills and disadvantages more clearly, and some raid balls that are difficult for unfamiliar opponents to adapt to have been practiced repeatedly by the two of them.

Seven goals before the start of the game, Kong Zhendong only had a narrow lead of 4:3.

Zheng Zheng is familiar with some of Kong Zhendong's usual killing moves, and with his strong defensive skills, he is evenly matched with Kong Zhendong at the beginning.

Of course, Kong Zhendong can choose some other killer skills in his previous life at this time, and he has not had time to practice them during this time.

Although he is not familiar with it yet, he can suddenly use it, as long as there is three points of heat, he can also crush solemnity.

If it were another opponent, Kong Zhendong might do it.

But the opponent is solemn, he doesn't want to use other advanced techniques to crush, he hopes to use the skills that he practices on weekdays and solemnly, with the strength of the two of them, and rely on changes to win.

Kong Zhendong hopes that through this victory, another door will be opened for solemnity.

The solemn style of play has always been too honest, and to put it bluntly, there is not enough change.

Kong Zhendong just wants to tell Zheng Zheng that even if it is similar, the technology that is familiar with each other and is good at changing can win!

Kong Zhendong's duel was solemn, and all coaches paid close attention.

How a player beats his or her doubles partner is the best litmus test of a player's ball quotient.

Coach Lu looked at the two of them going back and forth, and said strangely: "Kong Zhendong played very casually in this game, as if he didn't choose a targeted play like in the previous games!" ”

Coach Li didn't see much in this game, if he deliberately didn't play seriously because he was a doubles partner, then Kong Zhendong's training value was also limited.

Hiss~Huh! He actually used this trick?

I saw that when Kong Zhendong received the ball that was solemnly hit, he threw his arm horizontally with his right hand, and at the moment before swinging the racket to hit the ball, the racket actually rotated 180° rapidly in his hand, and he used the backhand rubber forehand position to catch the ball!

Coach Hong was taken aback and said, "More than ten years, right?" He actually used Mi Xingbang's unique skill to turn the board? ”

Mi Xingbang's first trick in the world table tennis arena in the 80s was to turn the board.

Although the front and back surfaces of the horizontal plate are ordinary anti-glue, the viscosity and thickness of the backhand rubber are different, and it is a rubber with an anti-arc circle effect.

In the past, when the International Table Tennis Federation did not stipulate, Mi Xingbang double-sided rubber shape coating is consistent, in the game, the moment of rapid hitting, the board is rotated, the ball does not turn when it is played, the arc will spin up, a will spin down, the ball road is erratic, the opponents look through the autumn water, and they can't figure out the style of that turn, and they have lost.

Mi Xingbang's miraculous performance finally forced the International Table Tennis Federation to use a killer feature, and it was mandatory to stipulate that all players in the future competition, regardless of whether the forehand and backhand rubber are the same, need to use different colors to distinguish the rubber.

Mi Xingbang's anti-sky performance amazed the world, and he was proud to be able to force the ITTF to change the rules for him.

However, the new rules of the International Table Tennis Federation also directly killed Mi Xingbang at the peak of his career, and after the new rules of the International Table Tennis Federation, different colors distinguish the rubber, and no one will transfer the board in the game anymore.

But today's junior competition, the situation is different.

Kong Zhendong's rubber on both sides is anti-rubber, but there is a difference in the depth of the sponge and the bite depth of the rubber surface, so that the ball speed and rotation arc are very different from the different rubber surface hits.

Although the color of the rubber on both sides is different, no one has used the rotary board for more than ten years, and the coach of the junior team will not teach children to play ball, nor will they teach to stare at the opponent's rubber color to deal with the ball.

Amateur coaches teach children to play, and in order to avoid children being deceived by feints in their opponents' movements, they often call them "stare at the ball, stare at the ball!" ”

In fact, when a professional player plays a high-speed duel, the ball is so fast that it is impossible to stare at the ball, so it is more likely to judge the ball by the opponent's racket, hand shape, power posture, etc.

None of these judgments add judgments about the color and rotation of the rubber.

Of course, if the game is a best-of-three game, or a best-of-five game, after being caught off guard by a game, the brain can form an instinctive reaction such as the red rubber ball turning and the black rubber ball not spinning, and the second game will not continue to suffer.

Unfortunately, this is a best-of-all-game game.

Kong Zhendong relied on the sudden change of the rotation board, and used the ordinary technique of the recent practice with Zheng Zheng, but easily defeated him.

This game also made Zheng Zheng see clearly that after his backhand speed became faster, the tactical strain was still insufficient, and he had to use his brain more and play more cleverly in the future!

Seeing that Kong Zhendong relied on the board to win, Coach Hong said to Coach Lu: "This skill is smart, but it is so small, it should be based on a solid foundation, and such a false trick should be used less in the future!" ”

Coach Li said lightly: "Kong Zhendong has won seven consecutive victories, I'm afraid he will lock the top three, and he will practice with the official players in the future." To teach him the basics, there is an opportunity. ”

Coach Li turned to Coach Zheng and said, "Coach Zheng, I heard that Mi Xingbang, who came to Italy to coach later than you, will return to China in the next few days, right?" You've always led teams to meet in Europe before, right? The relationship should be quite familiar! ”

The top technology of European table tennis has only fully crushed China in the past few years, but their professional league has a history of decades.

Especially in the European Championships and the National Opens, Coach Zheng used to be in Europe, almost every one or two months, he would meet the head coach of the Italian team, Mi Xingbang, at the Open.

The two used to be strangers in a foreign land, and their relationship was still very good.

Coach Zheng nodded and said, "I received a letter from Lao Mi some time ago, and he will return to China for the New Year next month!" ”

Coach Hong was curious: "Did Mi Xingbang reveal it?" When returning to China this time, will the leader arrange to teach in the national team, or will he come to the capital team? ”

Coach Hong's question was very skillful. After all, Mi Xingbang is the world champion in China in the 80s, and he has coaching experience in Europe, so it can be said that he must have prestige, qualifications, and achievements.

Coach Zheng said cautiously: "It should be the leaders of the sports committee who asked Lao Mi to come back, saying that he would return to the national team first to assist Coach Xi Muen." The national team's current first task is to prepare for the World Table Tennis Championships in Chiba. His job will not be determined until after the World Table Tennis Championships in Chiba! ”
