At nine o'clock, the first round of the selection competition, eight into four games started at the same time.

Considering that there are three matches in one day to determine the final spot, the format is a best-of-three format, and every match in the team competition is also played in this format.

Kong Zhendong's first opponent was Du Gang recommended by Coach Sun, and Coach Sun was the first person in the capital team to adopt the reform of straight board anti-glue, so Du Gang used the first generation of straight board anti-glue play.

Wang Fei that Kong Zhendong met in the Table Tennis Association Cup was also this style of play, when Kong Zhendong's hard power was at a disadvantage, and he relied on his understanding of Fei Ge in his previous life to win with difficulty.

In the past six months, Kong Zhendong has achieved all-round improvements in strength, speed, physical fitness, and endurance, especially the all-round mastery of the forward arc circle, the backhand arc circle, the plus turn arc circle, and the high-hanging arc circle, which has made him have a rich means of dueling Du Gang.

Du Gang's first-generation straight plate anti-glue play method sacrificed a certain straight board speed and pursued multiple shots with Kong Zhendong.

Coach Li smiled and said to Coach Zheng: "Zhendong is really a table tennis genius!" The most important thing in the practice of arc ball is actually the perception of force, arc and strength. But no matter how high my understanding is, in seven or eight months, I have never seen such a variety of curve balls! ”

Coach Zheng nodded and said: "This kind of game has been reversed, I used to watch the straight board play the horizontal board, but that time it was not the straight board rushing up, and the horizontal board played the limit ball." But today is Kong Zhendong's various forward arc balls, and Du Gang instead played a counter-glue hold. ”

Kong Zhendong used his newly practiced stunt to fight against Du Gang's restricted and restrictive style of play, which was not his strong point, and gradually gained an advantage and established the victory.

Coach Hong said on the side: "Zhendong, this kid's arc circle is a good practice, but it can be practiced to the extreme, it is nothing more than a two-sided arc circle play, Chen Zhibing, Zhang Lei are not both?" No matter how strong he is, can he surpass the main force of the national team? This game is just that Du Gang's playing style is still flawed, Kong Zhendong will stop when he encounters a fierce man with strong impact! ”

After Kong Zhendong won 21:13 in the first game, the second game came to an end, and Kong Zhendong led 20:12.

This ball Du Gang serves, and it is a forehand half-billiard. Kong Zhendong took the ball directly to the far platform with his forehand.

It is very labor-saving to pick up the ball, but if the feel is not soft, the arc will be relatively high, giving the opponent a chance to take the ball.

For Kong Zhendong, there is naturally no problem that the feel is not soft, and the arc is pressed very low.

Du Gang's basic skills are good, he adjusted his pace, used a straight forehand lift, and prepared to play a forehand with Kong Zhendong.

Zhou An looked anxious on the sidelines, and asked solemnly: "This ball is not necessary!" If you lead too much, you can't send points like this, right, this flirting ball is to send the opponent to attack? ”

Said solemnly: "The mystery of table tennis is here, the existence of the net in the middle determines that the long ball can only return to the long ball, and the short ball can only return to the short ball. ”

Sure enough, Kong Zhendong half-retreated and pulled back directly sideways.

At the moment when Kong Zhendong pulled the ball, Du Gang was also sideways and ready to pull, even if this ball is lost, I will blow you up!

solemnly exclaimed: "Zhendong has the same force action as before, but it feels different!" ”

Du Gang received the ball with his forehand! It's so cool! The friction is good enough, and the force is up! Go ahead!

Du Gang swiped fiercely, snap!

Laugh at! The table tennis ball hangs on the net, and the net loses points. At 21:12, the game was over.

How can it be offline?

Zhou Anqi said: "Du Gang's racket shape is very beautiful, and the force is also sufficient, it is impossible to go to the net?" ”

Head Coach Li Muhua also smiled at the ball, and said to Coach Zheng with a smile: "The national team is really thoughtful!" The forehand pull of the vibration in the past is not as strong as after the net, and it sinks so invisibly! ”

This ball made Coach Hong, who was accustomed to singing about Kong Zhendong, speechless.

However, seeing Kong Zhendong's next opponent, Coach Hong was immediately happy.

Kong Zhendong's second game, the opponent of four into two, was actually Zhang Qi, the chipper recommended by Coach Pei.

That's great! Before facing off against his son Hong Lang, Kong Zhendong actually had to fight a chipper.

Chippers are famously unbeatable!

Even if Kong Zhendong can win, his physical strength will inevitably be exhausted.

Hey! Even if this kid has strengthened his physical training in the national team, three games a day is already the limit, provided that he doesn't run into a tired chipper!

Coach Zheng said to Coach Li worriedly: "Coach Li, if Zhendong wins this game, can the afternoon game be postponed for an hour!" ”

Coach Hong was angry and ready to refute, and Coach Li said: "There is no need, the national competition is not a child's play, what kind of strong opponent, what kind of tough battle may be encountered, the physical fitness level must be passed, and the afternoon game will be carried out on time." ”

Hearing Coach Li's final word, Coach Hong immediately watched the game with peace of mind.

Kong Zhendong played the table tennis Association Cup chipper last year, he watched it, he used ingenuity, but it was still very difficult, and there were also factors that limited the opponent's performance.

Because the atmosphere of the national competition will affect the psychology of the chipper, which will affect the feel and quality of the return.

The intra-team competition does not have the weight of the national competition, which is more suitable for chippers to exert their full strength.

It's a pity that Coach Hong guessed the beginning and couldn't guess the ending!

Kong Zhendong played the chipper this time, using a new tactic that he had practiced hard for more than half a year.

The chipper's batter type is determined, and only downspin balls that reduce the speed of the ball can be sliced.

Traditional chippers lack the means to attack and lack the ability to actively create spin.

Kong Zhendong's method of cutting the ball player is a new style of play in the 21st century, rushing forward and arcing the ball all the way to the end.

The violent arc of rushing and turning has forced the chippers of the new century to embark on the road of combining skills and cutting.

But Zhang Qi, who is in 92, has not encountered this new style of play, he is not a god Jin Song after all, and he did not take the initiative to embark on the legendary road of attacking the king without being forced to do so.

Kong Zhendong's arc skills in the past half a year have been fully displayed, and the continuous forehand and backhand explosion arc circle requires high strength and endurance, but compared with the traditional small-ball technique of running and attacking, it still saves a lot of physical strength.

Coach Li Muhua seemed to have picked up a treasure, and even regretted using the results of the game to select the players, he wanted to directly arrange Kong Zhendong to go up!

If Kong Zhendong can't pass the flood wave, it's a pity!

Coach Li Muhua saw what the capital team was extremely lacking in the past in Kong Zhendong's new tactics of playing the chipping ball.

Chen Zhibing and Zhang Lei of the capital team are both cross-board two-sided arc circle play, they are in contact with the early arc circle technology, with more than rotation and insufficient impact. As a result, the capital's previous record against the ball is extremely poor.

Chen Zhibing and Zhang Lei both have precedents of being killed by unknown chippers of other provincial teams in the national competition.

Another 2:0, Kong Zhendong evolved this confrontation between the arc circle and the chipping ball into a training of his all-round arc ability.

Ten minutes later, Hong Lang also won another game, and the duel between the two began at three o'clock in the afternoon.
