Chapter 140: The backhand stunt at the bottom of the box
Looking at the score and planning his next five serves, Marin knew he was in the driver's seat.
The center of gravity sank and put down, and the fast serve with force, the table tennis ball surged out, straight to Kong Zhendong's backhand, and half a billiard.
Marin smiled, the landing control was great, and as soon as he hesitated to receive the serve, I grabbed it.
Kong Zhendong seemed to really hesitate when he received the ball, because there was a shake before the ball was received on the bat!
Shaking? Marin was shocked.
Kong Zhendong's catch shake was not hesitation, but a feint.
It seemed that he was going to pick a slash line, and Marin was ready to exert his strength, but as soon as he shook his racket, the ball suddenly realized, and he quickly played a straight line.
Marin reluctantly changed his movements and moved quickly to catch the ball.
Kong Zhendong waited for work with ease, and won this point with a big slash smash.
Wu Jingping said to Yin Xiao: "The potential of Zhendong's tactical judgment should be further explored. The handling of this ball is amazing. He should have even planned the opponent's serve. Marin is a very smart service master, good at serving some balls with weird paths, allowing opponents to receive more choices and hesitant balls. Zhendong took advantage of this. Since there are many options for returning the ball, it is easy to hesitate, so simply turn hesitation into a feint. ”
Kong Zhendong followed up with a serve, and again used the line change after shaking, and Marin learned his lesson, did not rush to make the first effort, and was deceived by a feint. But because he didn't dare to take the lead, Marin, who served the ball, could only respond passively, master the active Kong Zhendong calmly mobilize the ball, and score points again.
Mi Xingbang looked further: "Zhendong's return is not just a victory for Marin. This kind of shaking and receiving method is of pioneering significance to our entire training to create initiative in returning. We used to always emphasize feints on the serve, and on the return serve, we fought for the initiative. But we never thought that in the receiving session, through shaking feints, the opponent made a mistake in judgment, so as to occupy the active return play. ”
Kong's feints on the return globe were not perfect. But the idea is new.
In the past, the focus was on being fast, accurate, and ruthless, and fierce. Kong Zhendong's method of striving for the initiative is groundbreaking and deceptive.
After being deceived by Kong Zhendong three times in a row, Marin consciously sent some balls with clear lines and landing limits, and the choice of these balls to return the ball is relatively simple, and often the opponent only returns the long ball, so is there any meaning in your short ball feint?
Although this kind of serve can avoid Kong Zhendong's feints, the ball itself lacks the strongest spin and weirdness of Marin's serve because of its single line.
If you lose your spirituality, the threat is greatly reduced.
Kong Zhendong no longer uses the return feint, but can choose the deceptive nature of the articulation routine.
For example, the sudden split length after the continuous pendulum, especially the last horizontal split, can be called a classic crossing ball. Let Ma Lin, who is constantly fighting short balls in the stage, look at the ball and sigh.
In this way, Kong Zhendong relied on the feints of receiving the serve and the deceptiveness of the ball connection routine, and scored five points in Marin's service game for the first time.
Kong Zhendong came to his service with five game points at 20:15, and everyone knew that the balance of victory had completely turned in his favor.
Marin's fighting spirit and hard work were not affected by the score, and he actively grabbed two points, and finally lost the first game at 17:21.
During the break, the Lingnan team's preparation was bleak. The first half of the first game should be a true portrayal of the general strength of Marin and Kong Zhendong, both of whom have their own unique skills to win their own service rounds.
However, Kong Zhendong's killer return in the final stage completely broke the balance of the two of them winning each of their respective service rounds.
Kong Zhendong serves, and the service link is fully suppressed, how to play in the second game?
Ma Lin was beside a young man of the same age, with a strong body and his hair standing on end, and he whispered to Ma Lin: "Brother Xiaoma, when we usually practice, you show your backhand skills, don't hide it, how many times is it rare in life?" If you don't fight now, when will you wait? ”
Ma Lin looked at Liu Guokun beside him. Guokun often jokes to spice up the atmosphere during team training on weekdays, but at this time he is extremely serious.
As for his own backhand?
That style of play was originally a routine summed up by the friends when they practiced, and the coach saw it and severely reprimanded it, the so-called unique trick, which is just a joke between partners.
But at this time, Liu Guokun's tone was clearly not a joke. Ma Lin recalled Kong Zhendong's style of play again, and confirmed it in his mind.
Hey, that's a good idea!
Staring at the table, Marin regained his self-confidence.
In the second game, Kong Zhendong took the lead in serving.
He still insisted on the first game of the service game with a main backhand, occasionally adjusting the control of the forehand.
Marin receives the serve or is still a running forehand sideways handball.
He continued to press a backhand more to the outside, and if Marin moved further sideways, the next board would kill him with a forehand.
However, Marin no longer continued to move sideways, but swung fiercely from the right to the left on the spot.
Nothing wrong with it, right? I float the ball outwards at a more angle, don't move, don't turn sideways, just catch it?
Sneer~ Kong Zhendong felt inexplicable, and a strange friction sound came.
Marin's top-down swing, the reason why he was able to hit this ball, was with a backhand rubber, top-to-bottom skimming.
Many celebrities from different periods of the straight board who watched the game on the sidelines will smile.
Who says straight boards don't have backhands? In the era when there was no straight horizontal play, the backhand could not only be pushed with the forehand rubber, but also the magical skimming and scraping of the reverse rubber.
It is as if splashing ink, and the iron paints silver hooks. The racket is swaying, from top to bottom it is skimming, and from bottom to top it is scraping.
If it is just a simple skimming board, it will scare other uninformed crossboard teenagers, but it will not scare Kong Zhendong, who is like a living fossil.
But Marin's skimming was anything but unusual.
This friction sound is very wrong!
Kong Zhendong was ready, but he didn't expect that the board that Ma Lin skimmed was the ultimate downspin, because Kong Zhendong's past ball itself floated out, and this return ball was even more extreme.
Kong Zhendong barely returned the ball, and Marin's forehand burst had already landed there.
Winning this point, Marin roared and boosted morale. It seems that the haze of being comprehensively suppressed by Kong Zhendong in the second half of the first game has been swept away.
Kong Zhendong was still immersed in the weird backhand just now.
The arc is not right, how can the backhand backhand rub out such a downspin ball from top to bottom?
That's right, anti-glue! Isn't Marlin using anti-glue now?
Kong Zhendong tried hard to recall, remembering that in his previous life, Ma Lin entered the national team after 94~95, when Wu Jingping guided him and practiced the two-sided anti-glue play style of straight board.
can be recalled carefully, many of Marin's backhand return actions in the later period are weird and stiff, not like an anti-glue play, could it be that at this time, he is also a weird guy with a long backhand glue?
