Kong Zhendong and Chen Weixing cherish this minute of recuperation.

Kong Zhendong held a water bottle in his left hand, and wiped the beads of sweat on his neck with a sweat towel with his right hand.

Coach Zheng stood aside with his racket, while Coach Li Muhua explained the follow-up tactics to him.

"You're almost at the bottom of your fitness and the quality of your shots has dropped significantly. At this time, it is right to choose a simple way to handle the ball, but you can't blindly exert force, you still have to press the forehand, mobilize the backhand, whether it is to serve and attack or receive the serve to the stage, you must control the ball and put the forehand in the first place! ”

Kong Zhendong nodded. Coach Li Muhua's ideas can indeed be referred to. His early backhand and forehand blasts focused more on power, ignoring the movement of the landing point and the ball path.

still insists on the play style of forcing the forehand to open up the score difference in the middle of the first game, at least the mistakes will be lower than the current style of play.

Chen Weixing was also gulping water at this time. In this game, he was passive all the way, and his physical exertion was also very large. Coach Sun Ting said: "It can be seen from the last few balls that Kong Zhendong's physical strength is about to fail. The more critical the ball, the easier it is to make mistakes. You bite the score, pay attention to protect the forehand, bite the last few key balls, his physical strength is further reduced, and he does not dare to blindly exert force, then it is your chance to turn defeat into victory. ”

As the minute passed, Kong Zhendong walked to the table and reached out to wipe the side of the table to make sure there were no sweat stains. Kong Zhendong raised his hand and was ready to serve, and the referee signaled Chen Weixing to continue serving.

Starting from this ball, Kong Zhendong and Chen Weixing both began to implement the tactics of the coaches and compete for the ball.

Kong Zhendong started from receiving the serve, showing his ball control skills, and mobilizing the ball to press Chen Weixing's forehand.

Chen Weixing has also learned to be smart, although the strength of the forehand arc is insufficient, but the ability to land and adjust the line is very strong, and he tries his best to lead the ball from the middle to the backhand.

Although the competition between the two of them is not as stimulating as the violent play in front of the audience, the audience is still addicted to the wits and strength of the two, and the audience is still addicted to the fluctuating changes of the ball path.

Kong Zhendong and Chen Weixing are both masters with delicate touches, and Kong Zhendong's physical bottleneck also restricts his ability to mobilize at a large angle.

"It's not good for Kong Zhendong to fight like this!" Hong Lang muttered.

Ye Yingqi said: "Do you know how to watch the ball?" Chen Weixing bit very tightly, but Zhendong has always maintained a lead of about 3 points, and the situation is completely under his control, 19:16. ”

Kong Zhendong led by three points, followed by five serve shots from Chen Weixing.

Kong Zhendong continued to raise his hands and did a good offensive posture to meet the ball.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he immediately felt some soreness in the muscles under his armpits.

It looks like it's almost untenable. Can't wait, within these five balls, the battle must be resolved.

"Zhendong, hold steady, and resist it!" Coach Zheng shouted from the sidelines.

Now Kong Zhendong is ahead, and he only needs to win two points to win, so he must stabilize his advantage. Chen Weixing is still behind when he reaches such a key goal, and he will definitely fight first, Coach Zheng asked him to resist, that is, to withstand the opponent's fight, looking for flaws to score points.

This ball hole Zhendong sought stability in the service link, but was immediately passive.

Chen Weixing's coaching style is to control the ball at the key ball while Kong Zhendong does not dare to exert his strength easily.

After Kong Zhendong received the ball passively, the ball was controlled by Chen Weixing, and he entered a comfortable backhand cutting scheduling time, and finally won this point.

19:17 It's up. Kong Zhendong's eyes froze, he had to do the opposite!

Everyone bets that I am physically exhausted, make many mistakes, and dare not exert force at will?

The inertia of everyone's thinking is to seek stability on the leading side and fight for the lagging side?

The champion is not guarded, but fought for!

Kong Zhendong's return once again resumed his violent style of play.

Coach Zheng frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Still ahead? Why are you impatient again? ”

Coach Li Muhua came to his senses: "It's not impatience, it's that he understands it." He is ahead, in fact, he has more capital to fight! ”

Kong Zhendong knows that the change in his thinking is only a small step, but it is a big step in the transformation of the thinking of table tennis masters.

Among the many encounters of domestic and foreign masters, there are often games that fall behind many match points and gradually catch up to counterattack.

Kong Zhendong obtained the law through analysis. All of these guys who were ahead of multiple match points didn't make an initiative to give away the victory.

It was all in the frantic counterattack of the backward opponent, and the lead was eroded.

All the leading sides maintain the mentality of guarding, and they are also betting on the opponent's fighting state. It's easy to score once or twice, but it's so hard to score five or six points in a row.

Therefore, in many games, only a very small number of fighting laggards finally succeeded.

This seems to be a tactic with a high coefficient of grasp, but in fact it is a passive approach in which fate is manipulated by the hands of the lagging side.

It depends on whether the other party will break out into a supergod state.

Kong Zhendong's choice was to wipe out the opportunity for the other party to enter a super-god state and flash the light of miracles.

The more critical the ball, the more the ball that others are cringe into, I dare to exert my strength!

Inner Mongolia coach Sun Ting was also frightened, and the unreasonable faction in Europe didn't fight like this, right?

Which one is leading 19:16 instead of waiting for the opponent to rush up? The opponent rushes four or five in a row, and he always has to give away one or two points, and if he gets two points, won't he win the game?

Why not take such an easy road?

Kong Zhendong's key life-and-death ball took the lead, attracting exclamations and crazy cheers from the audience!

It's a combination of courage, domineering and aggressiveness.

Some people praise him for his newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, and some people praise him for his big heart.

Kong Zhendong's backhand action is violent, but his heart is peaceful.

I had a three-point lead and it only took two to finish the game. Then I'm the one who has the most capital to fight, okay? It's like I've got three more lives out of playing a game.

I boldly fight for five goals and win the game by two goals, so why bother to control my fate in the hands of others?

Kong Zhendong's continuous strong force paid off and won this point. 20：17。

Chen Weixing didn't give up, because he knew that Kong Zhendong's physical strength was on the verge of being unable to hold the ball down at all, and sure enough, he lost one point in a row, 20:18.

The difference of two points was two, and it was Kong Zhendong who took the initiative to attack and kill the ball out of bounds, and everyone sweated for Kong Zhendong.

Chen Weixing thought: With such a key ball and an active mistake, his heart must fluctuate greatly, right? My chance has come~

Chen Weixing served confidently, but found that Kong Zhendong still had a calm face, swinging the racket furiously to take the lead.

lost the ball of life and death, but there was no fluctuation in his heart?

Of course not! Kong Zhendong's inner monologue is: In this game, I have two more lives for you!

He moves violently, but his heart is extremely calm and full of confidence. Such Kong Zhendong, Chen Weixing, who didn't expect Kong Zhendong to fight unreasonably in the last ball, has no suspense to win this point.

Kong Zhendong hit a backhand cover with the last shot, and everyone seemed to be almost out of bounds, but he fell rapidly, and hit Chen Weixing's forehand triangle with great stability, and then popped up.

Take!

Kong Zhendong won this game 21:18, and won the fifth game of the life-and-death battle for the capital team with a score of 2:0.
