Chapter 201: The Strength of the Ball King! 【Subscription】
On Sunday, at 7 p.m., the Parvagen Arena in Stockholm is full.
Upcoming here is the Stockholm Wolverines vs. Visby Elks.
The staff at the scene were obviously frightened by the enthusiastic fan atmosphere, and he asked his companions, "Isn't the ball market of the Skiers always hot?" Last night's Skiers home game, the fans were probably only two-thirds, right? ”
Another staff member, while checking the lights at the commissioning site for the last time, said: "It should be because of the golden apple Ape Alun who came to challenge, right?" The arena with him was never an Elks away stadium. ”
The staff member who was debugging the electronic scoreboard said: "I don't think it's all because of Ape Allen, yesterday's game and Waldner, not to mention the first game of the Chinese national team's main Zhang Lei joining the Skiers, attracted nearly 2,000 spectators." Today, the fans were able to fill the Parvagan Arena, most of which was caused by the recent uproar about the Chinese golden boy challenging the Swedish golden boy. ”
The staff who adjusted the lights didn't believe it: "The game full of 3,000 fans, that is, the number of games where Waldner met Persson, a Chinese kid, really has such a strong appeal?" ”
Another staff member said: "It's very likely that a group will be formed to see how he loses!" ”
At this time, Schultz, the general manager of the Wolverine, and coach Bengerson were also watching the full crowd of fans.
Schultz smiled: "Bengerson, how's it going?" My operation is very successful, such a hot scene, the Wolverines have not appeared for several years, right? It was a few years ago when you were still in your prime, when you played against Ape Alen or Waldner. ”
Ben Gesen frowned and said: "Schultz, I read the report of your operation, is it too much?" At this stage, Kong Zhendong is not yet to challenge Ape Allen, if he loses miserably, the fans are disappointed in him, and he may collapse. ”
Schultz insisted: "Anyway, the situation of the Wolverines can't be worse, why not take a gamble?" I've given him a chance to make a name for himself. If he can't grasp it, he can't blame me, the person who gave him a chance, right? At Parvagan Arena, every player who has made a name for himself with a goal is remembered for beating another great player. ”
At the beginning of the game, the names of the players of the first game of the two sides were displayed on a giant screen in the center of the stadium.
Wolverines Sith Pan vs Elks Ape Allen.
The fans were in an uproar.
Such a matchup lineup is both unexpected and reasonable.
Professional league matchups and national team matches have different considerations in terms of line-up.
In addition to winning, professional leagues also have to consider the spectators' viewing experience.
There is also a process of the audience gradually getting into the state, gradually getting excited, then continuing to be excited, and then the fatigue subsides.
Therefore, in the general table tennis league encounters, the first game is the vanguard players with strong impact to fight against each other, and at the same time to grab points, warm up.
After adjusting the audience's watching mood to the highest, the two hosts will have a strong dialogue between the two sides in the second game, which is also the stage when the audience is most emotional and energetic.
The Elks arranged an absolute master like Ape Allen in the first game before the audience's emotions were mobilized, which surprised the fans.
Fans speculated: It is estimated that the recent publicity of the Wolverines is very high-profile, and Ape Allen wants to give them a slap in the face and let the Wolverines recognize the reality.
The Elks' arrangement made Ben Gesen and Kong Zhendong frown.
Both of them have competed in team competitions for their national teams. The Elks' lineup is not in line with the league norms, but it is fully in line with the essence of the international team competition.
In the team competition duel of the national team, the two teams with strong and weak differences are often targeted in the arrangement.
The weaker side often does not send the main player in the first game, but sends a more impactful player in the team to act as the first singles.
Therefore, the Wolverines put Sith Pan as the first singles, apparently fanciing the impact he showed in the last game, allowing him to storm his opponent and steal a point.
In the international battle, the strong side will send the most stable absolute main force to serve as the first singles in the first game to ensure that the first point is won.
The Elks' arrangement is to make it clear that this game is treated as an international competition.
Kong Zhendong calmed down and paid serious attention to the duel between Sith Pan and Ape Allen.
Although Kong Zhendong has watched a lot of videos of Apei Allen's game, it is still not as good as the experience obtained from watching the duel live.
Sith Pan, who arced on both sides of his right hand, served first. Sith Pan is a substitute who has been trained in the Wolverine's academy, so there is a shadow of Bengerson's fast attack combined with arcs in the technical system.
Sith Pan's curve ball is fast and forward-propulsive, and from the third board, Sith Pan takes the initiative to pull the table tennis ball up for an upspin confrontation.
Ape Alun decisively turned sideways at this time and pulled the high hanging arc circle.
The first arc after hitting the ball is quite high, but after passing the net, it sinks quickly.
Sith Pan couldn't tell exactly where the ball would land and had to retreat.
After the table tennis ball hit the table, the high-tossing arc suddenly pressed extremely low and fell below the horizontal line of the platform.
Kong Zhendong frowned: So fast? Because of the high arc and slow ball speed, the opponent often has enough reaction time to respond.
However, Ape Allen's high-hanging curve ball sank faster than ordinary people's balls after hitting the table.
The table tennis ball drops below the table level faster, and there is no chance of backlash.
Sith Pan learned from Pete Karlsson in the previous round, taking a squat and pulling the ball over the net from below the level of the table.
With Sith Pan's strength, he can also do table tennis without going to the net and out of bounds.
Although Ape Allen is the first trick with a high hanging arc, he really has a chance, and his fierce shot shows a fierceness that is completely different from his handsome face, and he wins this point in lightning.
This point is just a microcosm of the entire clash between Sith Pan and Ape Allen.
Sith Pan's two-sided arc technique is enough to pull him out of the first board of the topspin duel, but Ape Allen is not only a master of attacking the arc, but also a master of defending forward arcs.
Sith Pan's active arc attack was blocked by Ape Allen, but he didn't have a good way to deal with Ape Allen's high hanging arc, and the recoil arc didn't have a good timing to hit the ball, and Sith Pan was passive throughout the game.
This ball Sith Pan still showed a strong impact, but the more he worked harder, the more invincible Ape Allen became in the minds of the audience.
In the second game, Ape Allen's backhand arc also began to take the lead, and Sith Pan even took the initiative to pull the one-board advantage and lost the game cleanly.
This is the strength of the Swedish football king.
