Chapter 073: Showdown with the Long Glue Monster

In the 21st century, the marketization of table tennis has been shouted for many years, but only the real marketization is table tennis equipment.

In the era of big balls, the bottom plate and rubber are sold separately, and a racket ranges from 600~3000, which is not counting the collector's edition of the star endorsement.

Japanese butterflies rule the market, and Chinese double happiness makes some hard-earned money.

With the advent of the big ball era, anti-glue has become a universal rubber, and double-sided anti-glue athletes account for almost more than 95%.

The difference between the rubber in the era of the big ball is actually to classify it in the large system of anti-glue, which is divided into particularly smooth and not so smooth, so as to play different rotations and arcs.

In the small-ball era in the 90s, before the International Table Tennis Federation made restrictions on rubber and glue, rubber playing style can be said to be a hundred schools of thought.

Friends outside the circle will think that the table tennis grip is divided into horizontal plate, straight plate, rubber and positive glue, long glue, reverse glue, and arc glue, which is too complicated and difficult to understand!

In layman's terms, it's easy to get started.

Think of a racket as a base plate with rubber on both sides. The front side of the rubber is covered with particles, and the back side is relatively smooth.

The smooth side is attached to the bottom plate, and the particle side is facing outward, which is called positive glue, and the particle surface is attached to the bottom plate, and the smooth side is facing outward, which is called reverse glue.

As for the anti-arc rubber, it is just a kind of anti-rubber, through the adjustment of elasticity and smoothness, so that the opponent's arc ball can not rotate on the racket, counteracting the opponent's rotation.

So is this rubber all killed? The mystery of table tennis is here, you can prevent the opponent's rotation, but you can't spin this gel, that's how they are mutually beneficial.

Wannan Chenshu, the long glue he used, is actually a kind of positive glue.

The surface of the positive glue is covered with cylindrical particles, and when the height of the cylinder is greater than the diameter, the particles of this rubber are longer, so it is called long glue.

In the 90s, there were still many athletes who used long rubber, especially straight fast break athletes, who often used long rubber to resist the arc rotation of Europe, and then used weird lines to sneak attack and score.

Chen Shu in southern Anhui called him a genius because he was not a straight board. He is a crossboard forehand reverse glue and backhand long rubber athlete!

How strange this is!

Kong Zhendong and Chen Shu's opening ten goals fell behind 2:8 very quickly, which was the worst start Kong Zhendong has encountered since he played in his life.

Kong Zhendong's strength is to play with his brain, play one board, think about three boards, and have a complete tactical system.

But in the face of long glue, there is really no way. Because of the ball received by the long glue, the opponent may not be able to grasp the landing point and arc, and the sense of surprise is particularly strong.

Kong Zhendong can understand the regulations of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) officially prohibiting athletes from using long glue in regular competitions a few years later.

In terms of the diversity of technical play, it is not advisable for the reform of the ITTF to erase this very special school of technology.

However, because of the unpredictability of long glue, it seriously restricts ordinary people from learning table tennis and affects the folk promotion of table tennis.

What's more, Changjiao often produces some inexplicable curve balls on both sides of the game, and the number of rounds of the game is over in a very short time, and the audience can't appreciate the mystery of table tennis at all, just count the score. You can't immerse yourself in it, appreciate the beauty of speed, power, accuracy, spin.

Just like this game, the onlookers were also like Kong Zhendong, before they entered the state, they had already played ten balls, and none of them exceeded three rounds.

In fact, if it were an ordinary long rubber athlete, Kong Zhendong would not be so difficult to beat.

It's a pity that Chen Shu is a backhand long rubber athlete. Chen Shu's tactical play is very clear, and the forehand backhand is mainly an arc circle pull, which is dignified. The backhand is long rubber, focusing on limiting the opponent's arc circle and line raids. Forehand and backhand odd, both can score.

What's more, Kong Zhendong has practiced more backhand skills at this stage and is more familiar, but he just ran into the opponent's backhand long rubber to limit the backhand arc ball.

In this way, there is no threat to pulling with a backhand.

Kong Zhendong slowed down the pace, thought about countermeasures, and at the intergame moment of 6:11, the referee needed to drink water to wipe his sweat.

This is a reasonable suspension.

Kong Zhendong swallowed a few mouthfuls of salt water, hesitated slightly, and decided to use the new technology that he was preparing to strengthen in the future, and it was not mature at this stage in this game.

Anyway, I fell behind so much in the first game, so I could only rush.

Kong Zhendong served, the ball continued to lead to the backhand, Chen Shu was completely excited!

Haha, the opponents that buddies have encountered before are all forehand wins, and occasionally backhand long rubber raids. It's really cool today, isn't this kid very popular lately? Why is there a string in the head, and the ball is always sent to me on the backhand?

Kong Zhendong still vigorously twisted a board in the backhand position. Chen Shuyi was not afraid. This kind of pulled arc is a big threat to others, but for their own long glue, the particles are fully frictional, and most of the rotation can be removed, and there is no threat at all, it is nothing more than the increase in the arc of the return ball.

I raise the arc, what can you do with the pull? I'm not afraid of the arc you pulled out with my backhand? Wasted energy.

While thinking, Chen Shu returned the ball proudly.

Kong Zhendong is indeed backhanding and preparing to make a big move. But instead of a backhand against each other, it was a sudden burst of straight lines, and Kong Zhendong's backhand straight line was Chen Shu's forehand.

Chen Shu is getting his own backhand! The opponent's explosive forehand has been scored.

The backhand twist and pull the explosion and draw the straight line, this is the star of national table tennis hope in later generations, Fan Zhendong, who has the most potential to carry the flag.

If it is just a backhand and suddenly changes the line to the forehand, the world's top players will still have time to return the forehand.

But once it is a forehand explosion, the speed is too fast, Fan Zhendong uses this move, and the world's famous generals can't catch it.

After Kong Zhendong was reborn, from the moment he decided to play, he hoped to make some changes compared to his previous life.

The strongest thing in his previous life was the control of rhythm and landing point, through ball control, limitation, mobilization of opponents to make flaws, and score in the hold.

With these advantages, the defense is stronger than the offense. If you re-take the road of life in this life, and the style of play is exactly the same, it makes no sense!

If you want to beat more famous players and reach higher heights in this life, you must strengthen your attack.

So in the pre-formed period of technology, whose skills can be integrated and complemented by their own horizontal board defensive counterattack skills?

Kong Zhendong chose Fan Zhendong, who was the most kingly in later generations.

In 2015 before Kong Zhendong crossed, Fan Zhendong was just emerging, and his forehand and backhand offensive ability was off the charts, twisting and pulling, tearing quickly, and there was almost no solution. However, on the defensive end, especially in the handling of the small ball in the table, it is particularly rough and the feel is not soft.

Such technical characteristics just complement themselves.

It's a pity that Fan Zhendong's full-force offensive play requires too much physical fitness, and the eleven-year-old Kong Zhendong only touched the threshold, and his backhand twisting and pulling the explosion draw straight line only had the three success of Fan Zhendong in later generations, and the national celebrities can receive this ball.

It's a pity that Chen Shu's forehand is just average, and he is still far from a national-level celebrity.

From this goal, the game began to be reversed!
