Chapter 247: Disobedience to Defeat!
This point is not just as simple as tying the score, but also makes Kong Zhendong feel at ease.
Kalinic then sent three more balls, all of which were very forward-dashing.
When Chinese straight board players serve, more than half of them often choose short balls in the table, and force the opponent to hold each other in the table with stronger basic skills and a straight racket type that better runs the wrist.
But Kalinitz couldn't escape the rough skills of the big man's billiard ball after all.
Kong Zhendong has seen big masters, with Kalinitz, Persson, Wang Dali, and Samsonov as the most.
Among them, only Samsonov is a big man genius with an extremely soft hand in the stage that Kong Zhendong admires.
In addition to him, the power ball king Persson's short ball in the table can only be considered improvised.
Wang Dali was scolded by the coach for being an imbecile in the small ball era because the short ball in the table was always a slow beat.
Wang Dali also arrived in the era of big balls, calmly retired from the stage, and the strongest forehand violent arc in history continued to exert power, before he got the reputation of the first big ball king.
Although Kalinic's coach is Chinese, the basic skills training of tableaus depends on soft touch and talent, coupled with basic training that began before the age of ten.
Samsonov's basic training was a little poor, but he had a natural touch and talent to make up for it, and Kalinitz was not so lucky.
Since the ball in the table is not good, Kalinic also knows how to play his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and directly send a long ball to Kong Zhendong to take the ball. lest the two sides go back and forth to the stage to toss people.
Kong Zhendong received the serve or rushed directly. Kalinic is very happy, the average person is most afraid of the opponent's attack when serving, and restricts the opponent's attack. But he is not afraid, but wants the opponent to attack.
Because of his defensive counterattack-type play, he suddenly turned defense into offense to win in multi-shot holds.
However, Kong Zhendong also discovered his weakness through the second goal. The absolute power confrontation is invincible, but it is not enough to adapt to the changes in the rhythm of table tennis.
Although Kalinic has been playing table tennis for 30 years, over the years, especially during the formation of the style of play, most of the European players he has encountered have played in arcs and circles, so he is not suitable for the sudden change in the rhythm of the backhand slicing.
Five serves, Kalinic won only two points.
When it came to Kong Zhendong's serve round, since he knew that the opponent's weakness was the short ball in the table, where would he be polite, all five serve balls were short balls in the table, which was to bully Kalinic's ball in the table not to handle it well.
However, Kalinic has a way to deal with this move, after all, after playing for decades, those who are bullied by his long arms, long legs and majestic power will always find a way to deal with him.
Among them, using the short ball in the table to make his strength and figure have no place to play, is a common move.
Kalinic's contingency is very simple, he can't win the fight in the table, and he directly rubs the long ball and pills.
Kong Zhendong served for the first time because he didn't expect this change and lost a point.
He couldn't laugh or cry. When fighting short balls in the stage, the side that is often completely suppressed is forced to rub the long ball to send the opponent to take the initiative to attack, which is almost a sign that the opponent admits defeat and takes the initiative to attack in the stage.
However, ordinary people will rub the ball and send the opponent to attack when they are extremely passive, but Kalinic's strange trick is to avoid exposing his shortcomings in the table, and in order to hide his clumsiness, he took the initiative to send Kong Zhendong to attack.
After entering the defensive stalemate, Kalinic wanted to be fully active before counter-attacking and scoring.
This move worked for two points, but there were also two points that were forced back to the stage by Kong Zhendong to win.
After two rounds of serve, the two sides were tied 5-5.
The shouts and cheers of the fans outside the stadium are getting louder and louder. Although the score was a draw, they found that Kong Zhendong directly faced the No. 1 giant in Europe, and every time he took the initiative to attack violently and then used the rhythm change to kill the opponent's explosive play, the audience was enthusiastic.
The next few rounds of service exchange are a remake of the opening game. Kong Zhendong didn't realize that the opponent took the initiative to rub the ball and made a mistake to send points at the beginning, otherwise his rhythm change and the advantage of short balls in the table, against Kalinic's only defensive counterattack score, Kong Zhendong grabbed sixty percent of the points.
The score came to 17:13, and Kong Zhendong entered the last five serves of the first game.
After serving this time, Kalinicz coped with the first three boards very easily, because Kong Zhendong actually gave up the advantage of the table ball and entered a stalemate with Kalinic.
Kong Zhendong made a key ball in the first game, and actually took the risk of switching to a new style of play in a good situation, and it was he who decided to defeat Kalinitz in the first game, so as to lay the foundation for his two rounds of harvesting the game.
If in the first game, he has been entangled until the end to win, and Kalinitz has exploded in the second game, and he will have to play the third game.
Even if he won three games, against Kalinic, it was the most wasteful way of playing, and Kong Zhendong still had to stay to fight Schulbeck.
So in the last five balls, after Kong Zhendong entered the stalemate, based on the power brought by Mi Xingbang's body kinetic energy, Fan Zhendong's full-force play style was used as the general outline.
The forehand uses the Gaitingtai implosion rush to bring continuous attacks, and the backhand is connected to Glinka's world-leading backhand lore. These five goals are also under the pressure and confrontation of Kalinic's strong strength, and he has integrated all his strong play styles into one furnace to form his new active and all-round offensive arc combined with fast attack play.
These five goals are still the continuous stalemate that Kalinitz is looking forward to, but unfortunately he can't wait for the opportunity to defend and counterattack, so he was continuously blasted by the brilliant forehand and backhand, and the concentrated technical style of the power and fast kill cut him all over the body, 14:21, losing the first game.
Kong Zhendong's last five goals not only won the applause of the audience, but also shocked Sith Pan, Coach Bengersen, and the next opponent, Schulbeck.
Losing the first game, Kalinic, who has been past the golden age of table tennis for many years, is a little decadent. Life can't be a chicken soup story. Not all hard work will pay off in the end,
Not all the fighting spirit and enthusiasm will definitely achieve the final victory.
Everyone thinks that their life seems to be the all-powerful protagonist, but after all, it is only a set of background in other people's brilliant lives.
Recalling every moment of the first game, Kalinic felt that he really couldn't win!
But the childish cough of the youngest son and the haggard and worried face of his wife soon echoed in his mind.
I want to win! I want to renew! I bet on the youth and dreams I raised, and when I reach middle age, I have no other choice than table tennis, and I am two meters tall.
Kalinic stared at the table, at the table that was still jumping on the table under the pressure of the racket, and the table tennis ball became more and more dazzling under the lights of the stadium.
In that bright light and shadow, there is my former glory!
Kalinic was on the court again, and in the second game, he served.
Kalinitz took a deep breath and bounced the ball twice on the floor, staring intently at the ball before turning around and sending it out.
He is a European star at the world championship level, and those five goals are really not enough to break his will.
Kong Zhendong rushed forward again, although it was only the first ball in the second game, he just put on an indomitable momentum to fight for the final winning point.
He's really fighting for the final crucial ball. Kong Zhendong felt Kalinic's fighting spirit and disbelief from this ball.
It was a goal to reunite in the second round after his first-round defeat.
If he doesn't accept it, he will beat him until he obeys!
Five balls aren't enough, so fifteen more!
In the first fifteen balls, after the two sides rotated serves, Kong Zhendong led 11:4.
7 points, and only lost a total of 7 points in the first game.
What's more, it is Kong Zhendong's offensive advantage in the service round, and this point difference is bound to expand.
Bound?
The word startled Kalinitz.
The last five serve is obviously not played, in the return serve, the counterattack five-ball game, I play almost every month, why do I think that in the face of the ball that has not been played, I think it is bound to widen the point difference?
If the score difference widens, will the remaining half of the game be lost?
The score that was already behind was not terrible, and the realization that there was no way back was the last straw that crushed Kalinic's fighting spirit.
Kong Zhendong did not keep his hand in the second game, after all, the Wolverine's total score was still behind, and Sith Pan might have to face Kalinitz later, so the bigger the gap in his heart, the deeper the injury, and also laid the foundation for Sith Pan's later games.
At 21:10, Kong Zhendong won the second game more easily.
Somewhat dejected, Kalinic returned to his seat and licked his wounds, his mind torn over his son's cough and his wife's face.
Kong Zhendong swept strongly and equalized the score 1:1 for the Wolverine.
The excited home fans actually opened their brains, like fanatical football fans, and set off a wave of cheers for Kong Zhendong.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the Wolverines lost the third game in the third singles, and the Wolverines were once again forced to the edge of the cliff.
The Wolverines are behind by a large margin, so they have the right to select the last two lineups first.
Almost without much thought, Bengersen arranged Sith Pan for the fourth and Kong Zhendong for the fifth.
According to the previous match, Sith Pan will face Kalinitz who was tortured by Kong Zhendong in the fourth game and only rested for one game, and his mind is still turbulent.
Kong Zhendong got more rest time, and with plenty of physical energy, he faced Schulbeck, who did not consume much in the first game, which was the big battle that decided the fate of the Wolverines in the Champions League group stage.
Kalinic was in a trance, and before he had returned to his seat, he was racing again, and he was so distraught that he struggled to get up.
Schulbeck, as the head coach, has the right to choose Daigo's empowerment to remind his players.
But after all, Kalinic is a doubles partner of his own age, who has been together for more than ten years, and for a period of time, he has been with each other for longer than his wife.
Thinking of the difficulties suffered by Kalinitz's family, Schulbeck simply shook Kalinitz's shoulder vigorously and whispered: "Everything will pass, it will be fine!" ”
It's going to be fine! In anticipation, Kalinitz took to the field again to face off against Sith Pan, who was also bloodied by Schulbeck.
