Kong Zhendong conducted more than two hours of targeted training with Deng Yalin and Qiao Hong according to his own strategy.

On the second day, each pair will play two rounds of group matches to determine the quarterfinals.

Kong Zhendong rushed to watch the group stage between Li Fengji and Yu Shunfu.

Li Fengji has been the No. 1 opponent set by the Chinese women's team for the past few years. The quota for the competition is determined according to the results of the big battle against Li Fengji.

However, since the World Table Tennis Championships in Chiba last year, as she gets older, Li Fengji's state has further declined, and there is a lot less threat.

With the results of Chen Yuhe and Gao Jun's closed training camp to strengthen the attack and force, this should not pose much threat to the Northern Dynasty players.

In the afternoon, the Chinese team had frequent successes, the table tennis schedule was long, and the gold medal was born slowly.

Li Xiaoshuang relied on his outstanding performance in free exercise, churning chic and landing like nails, making him a new generation of gymnastics princes after Li Ning.

In two days, in addition to Li Xiaoshuang, the outstanding performance of the women's uneven bars queen Lu Li actually scored 10 points in the final.

The excellent performance of Chinese gymnastics has finally diverted the attention of the European and American media from swimming.

Gymnastics, as a traditional advantage event, is the first to exert its power, and the table tennis national ball is even more inmissible.

On July 30, after four quarterfinals that were not fierce, Deng Yalin, Qiao Hong combination, Li Fengji, Yu Shunfu combination, Chen Yuhe Gaojun combination and the strongest opponent Xuan Jinghe Hong Ciyu met in the doubles semifinals.

In the first semi-finals, Deng Yalin and Qiao Hong faced off against Xuan Jinghe and Hong Ciyu.

Coach Zhang Xilin asked Kong Zhendong to sit next to him and asked, "In the past few days, I have seen you practice with Yalin and them every day, nothing will go wrong, right?" I heard Zhang Chuan say, you set the key target on Hong Ciyu?"

At this time, Deng Yalin had already served, and Hong Ciyu received the serve.

Kong Zhendong said: "I have seen the difference between Xuan Jinghe's game four years ago and now. In the past, the two straight boards often retreated from the stage, and one person stood on the side, which also minimized the weakness of the backhand. Now that the partner has changed to a crossboard teammate, as before, the two of them will not be able to attack in a row, and the doubles position will become a turn to advance and retreat. From the footsteps that move horizontally to the footsteps that change vertically, even if it is a Xuanjing crane, there will be rhythmic fluctuations. ”

Zhang Xilin nodded and said, "The weakness of our feet has also been noticed by our other coaches. However, Xuan Jinghe's training for two consecutive years, with her talent, has almost made up for this weakness. ”

Kong Zhendong smiled: "It's not to make up, but to hide it." ”

Coach Zhang Xilin's eyes shrank and exclaimed, "Hide?"

Kong Zhendong nodded and said: "This kind of loophole is inevitable for adults to change their stereotyped playing style. Xuan Jinghe relied on the connection with Hong Ciyu in the past to hide the weakness of his pace. If you want to expose your weaknesses, it's very simple, not just to change the rhythm of the amplifier, but to completely reverse the rhythm. ”

Kong Zhendong pointed to Deng Yalin and Qiao Hong and said: "Our doubles tactics in the past were mainly based on me, taking into account the enemy's situation. In the past, Sister Qiao Hong's role was to connect the creation of opportunities and defense, and Sister Yalin's role was to change the rhythm and kill a board. My training for them this time is to abandon their self-positioning. The next board opponent decides the offensive and defensive transitions. ”

At this time, after Deng Yalin served on the court, Yu Shunfu quickly played a long ball.

According to the rules, after Qiao Hong returned the ball, Xuan Jinghe returned the ball.

Xuan Jinghe has already done a good job of receiving Qiao Hong's connecting ball and grabbing the score.

Qiao Hong used to create opportunities for Deng Yalin.

But this ball Qiao Hong is not connected, but quickly pulls the slash line and hits Hong Ciyu's position.

Xuan Jinghe and Hong Ciyu were very uncomfortable with Qiao Hong, who has always been on defense, suddenly attacking, and the two did not change positions in time, and Qiao Hong scored directly.

Kong Zhendong said: "The tactic I asked Sister Yalin to practice is that if the opponent on the next board is Hong Ciyu, then no matter who it is, they will transition to defense, and if the opponent on the next board is Xuan Jinghe, even if Sister Qiao Hong hits the ball, she will take the initiative to attack." ”

Zhang Xilin's eyes lit up and he smiled: "I understand your tactics." Why has the connection and pace of Xuan Jinghe and Hong Ciyu not been a problem? It's because they play very smoothly with their active cooperation. Hong Ciyu connected the defense, and Xuan Jinghe's fierce offensive positioning was very clear. Your tactic is to let Yalin and the others face Hong Ciyu, who is not strong in attack, defend at will, and face Xuan Jinghe's ball, and attack and suppress fiercely. Hyun Jinghe is a good attacker, but pure defense is not her strong point. ”

Zhang Chuan said beside him: "Could it be that Xuan Jinghe and their pair are just paper tigers?" Let them play against each other to win? ”

Kong Zhendong said: "My tactics are also targeted. Because Xuan Jinghe used to cooperate with Liang Yingzhi on the straight board, the two of them were continuous attacks, often Liang Yingzhi attacked a board, and the opponent's defense came back, and Xuan Jinghe was stronger and scored directly. The doubles ball that Hyun Jinghe is good at catching is the ball that the opponent is forced to defend back. After cooperating with Hong Ciyu, the two had a clear division of labor, she was the main attacker, and Hong Ciyu was the main guard. If you play at their pace, this discomfort will not be reflected. ”

In the doubles rules, the service street ball is rotated by both players in turn, and the order of receiving the serve will be rotated in turn when different players serve. The tactics arranged by Kong Zhendong are no matter how they turn, they always stare at the next board, the next board is Hong Ciyu, they will defend, and the next board will be Xuan Jinghe, so they will attack violently.

The Hyun Jinghe combination faced this offensive and defensive rhythm for the first time and quickly lost the first game 14-21.

In the second game, the Xuan Jinghe combination was forced to adapt, since Deng Yalin and they faced Hong Ciyu's return ball and defended passively, let Hong Ciyu attack.

It's a pity that Hong Ciyu has been in the role of defense for too long under the aura of Xuan Jinghe, and suddenly turned to the main attack, and he can't be perfect in terms of momentum and ferocity.

Xuan Jinghe and Hong Ciyu played the most awkward game since the start of the Olympics, and as they fell behind by a big score, they also knew that this was their last Olympic doubles match.

In the end, Deng Yalin Qiao Hong won the second game with 21:15 and won a final seat first.

With Deng Yalin and Qiao Hong entering the finals, Chen Yuhe and Gao Jun have a lot less pressure.

They played their strengths steadily in the semifinals, especially the continuous use of forehand receiving serves, which made Li Fengji, who is good at rushing, very uncomfortable.

Chen Yuhe and Gao Jun took advantage of the victory to pursue, and also eliminated the Li Fengji combination of the Northern Dynasty 2:0, and successfully met Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong in the finals.

The two Chinese pairs will meet in the finals, and they have locked the table tennis women's doubles gold medal for the Chinese team in the Barcelona Olympics in advance.

On the same day that the national table tennis women's team met in the finals and locked the gold medal, the doubles competition that the national table tennis men's team attaches the most importance to also kicked off.

Mi Xingbang, who was calm and calm, faced with the mission of winning gold that would determine his future and fate, his palms were slightly sweaty.
