Chapter 082: 先干 (gàn) for Respect [1/3 More Votes]
Kong Zhendong's first ball was sent to Cheng Longcan's forehand long ball.
The effect of the raid is obvious, but Cheng Longcan is experienced, does not blindly retreat, on the side of the body, a beautiful sideways snatch the slash, and attack Kong Zhendong's forehand.
This action is chic and beautiful, and the forehand big slash arc ball like the straight board is rubber, which reflects Cheng Longcan's strong rubber skills, and has made his ability to hold each other not weaker than ordinary horizontal board anti-glue players.
This big slash pulls the ball, which is not only a performance, but also a warning to Kong Zhendong.
Kong Zhendong was prepared, Cheng Longcan only turned sideways and didn't make any effort to receive the raid ball, but he still didn't pay much attention to Kong Zhendong.
This big slash is very chic, and the audience is also addicted, but if the force is not sufficient, the power is not big enough.
Kong Zhendong had plenty of time to use his forehand to reverse the line.
Kong Zhendong's whole body stretched to the right, his arm was tightened sharply, and the racket was rotated obliquely from the bottom up.
The ball is high-speed and straight, and directly hits Cheng Longcan's backhand dead corner.
This big diagonal line and straight line change line are completely within Kong Zhendong's prediction, and he easily won the first point.
Under the 21-point system, the two sides exchange serve every five balls, and after 20 draws, for the sake of fairness, one person rotates serve once.
Because there are five serves in a row, in the small ball era, good serving technique is often conducive to building an advantage in the opening game.
Kong Zhendong's opening serve also woke up Cheng Longcan. That big slash just now was really sloppy. I played it as an exhibition match, but the boy on the other side was playing the horizontal board as a straight board!
Cheng Longcan's sigh is also the impression of Mi Xingbang and other celebrities watching the game: the horizontal board play, the first three boards are mainly defensive, and they rely on the late stage to win. Therefore, horizontal boarders are generally slow to heat, and it is common to wait for the physical strength of straight boarders to decline and then dispatch counterattacks when they can't impulse.
However, Kong Zhendong's next few serves proved that many people judged him.
Kong Zhendong, who has always been slow to heat up and start defending, faced the first person in today's straight board today, and actually entered the role earlier and took the lead in serving and attacking.
"Kong Zhendong! Come on! ”
"Well done!"
Today's scene, similar to the situation of beating Lu Ning, Kong Zhendong belongs to the absolute disadvantage with few supporters.
Because this is Cheng Longcan's final battle, his supporters are more than ninety out of five.
However, Kong Zhendong's daring to fight in the opening few goals still won the love and shouts of the audience.
Kong Zhendong played so hotly at the beginning, of course, because of the provocation of the two guys' handicap warnings. Since I have been warned, I have to slap my face back as soon as possible, and the performance on the court is a response!
On the other hand, this is also Kong Zhendong's overall tactical choice. Purely comparing skills, tactics and hard power, Kong Zhendong knows that he is not Cheng Longcan's opponent at this stage.
However, if competitive sports can only compare skills and tactics with paper strength to determine the winner and loser, it can be determined directly, and there is no need for competition.
The charm of competitive sports competitions lies in targeted tactics, perfect layout and play, which can create a miracle of defeating the strong with the weak!
Miracle and blood are always the soul of competition.
With technical strength at a disadvantage, Kong Zhendong has to find advantages in all other aspects, including tactics and psychology.
This is Cheng Longcan's last domestic competition, so it is inevitable that there will be psychological fluctuations and distractions at the beginning, coupled with contempt for unfamiliar opponents, Kong Zhendong predicts that he will be very slow to enter the role at the beginning!
Then taking advantage of this rare psychological loophole and taking the lead at the beginning is the goal of the first stage of the battle.
At the beginning of the game, after Kong Zhendong and Cheng Longcan each sent five goals, Kong Zhendong led 7:3, and the battle goal in the first stage was basically achieved.
Kong Zhendong's next tactics are to fight fast with Cheng Longcan!
Of course, Kong Zhendong's fast play this time is not like the second qualifier against Henan teenagers to speed up the round and crush the opponent's discomfort.
Cheng Longcan is an international-level celebrity, and the round speed of an international-level master in the small-ball era is really soaring, and it will be Kong Zhendong who is not suitable for it at this stage!
Kong Zhendong's fast tactics in the first game this time emphasized that the ball was handled decisively, the rhythm of the return was fast, and the ball speed itself was not much faster.
To put it bluntly, Kong Zhendong and Cheng Longcan are fighting for the speed of tactical reaction time.
Kong Zhendong does not pursue the speed of the ball, but pursues the fast reaction and fast change!
Kong Zhendong worked hard in the first game, fought first, and attacked first, because he understood that although Cheng Longcan deserted at the beginning of the first game, once adjusted, if he won the first game first, with Cheng Longcan's international experience, coupled with his backhand push, he has reached the realm of being not weaker than the horizontal board fast play and fast dial, Kong Zhendong cannot win the game in two games like the duel Lu Ning.
After ten goals again, Cheng Longcan, who had adjusted his mentality, faced Kong Zhendong's fast and changeable tactical combination, but still failed to close the score, 7:13, still falling behind.
Mi Xingbang smiled and said to Yu Lao: "Yu Lao, I understand what you mean, it's a little early to evaluate Kong Zhendong's playing expertise, and he doesn't have a very outstanding killer feature." Even if there is, in the face of Cheng Longcan, whether he can kill it, I'm afraid it's hard to say! When you think he can defend, he will attack, you think he will hold on, he will change the line, and from the point of view of each ball, he has a very good grasp of the rhythm of the round. In a game, his reading of the entire game, his analysis of the opponent's psychological fluctuations, and his mastery of the rhythm of the whole game are his most terrifying points. ”
Yu Lao nodded and said: "Plus he is facing off against the world-class star Cheng Longcan, which is even more valuable." Long Can's dull play is one aspect, but Zhendong still controls the rhythm of the game when facing world famous players, this is talent! ”
It's Kong Zhendong's five serves again, but this time Cheng Longcan is obviously more adaptable. In the era of the 21-point system, each time you serve five goals in a row, how there is a threat and changes, it is a long-term and hard training process.
Kong Zhendong mastered no less than ten sets of serves in his last life, and there are five or six sets of specialties, but serving is a delicate work that pays special attention to the feel, and one year of professional training in this life is not enough to master so many sets of serves.
The choice and change of the horizontal board player's serve itself is less than that of the straight board, and with Cheng Longcan's gradual adaptation, the score chased to 10:15.
It was Cheng Longcan's turn to serve five balls. Mi Xingbang and other insiders and fans all paid close attention to these five serves. Everyone knows that once Cheng Longcan approaches the score, Kong Zhendong's next round of serve power is weakening, then Cheng Longcan can overtake and win the first game.
If Kong Zhendong receives serve in this round and guarantees at least two points, then if both sides increase their points, the balance of victory will fall to Kong Zhendong's side.
Cheng Longcan began to serve, and there was a bang, but it was a half-billiard ball in the middle!
