Chapter 120: Come on, Lu Ning!

Kong Zhendong walked over and solemnly read the sports weekly report: "The capital team dares to send young players at the decisive moment, which shows the foresight and great courage of the coaching staff. The young player Kong Zhendong dares to fight and has a steady mentality, which reflects the effective training of young players by the capital team. ”

Zhou An saw Kong Zhendong coming over and said with a smile: "It was cultivated by the Kua Capital team." Look at me, the 12-year-old magical boy continues the miracle, the Jedi counterattacks, Kong Zhendong makes the capital team go further! ”

Kong Zhendong smiled: "What are you doing? Do you make gods? ”

"Do we need to make it? Today's newspaper sports section is almost full of news about the national championships, and half of it is full of praise for you. Zhou An raised the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "Although I don't exaggerate you as a savior, it's Zhao Zilong of our capital team!" Handsome and dashing, and able to ride the Savior alone. ”

Kong Zhendong interrupted with a smile: "Isn't there a more professional report?" ”

solemnly flipped through it and said: "There really is, there is a coach named Li Xiaodong in the national team, do you know him?" ”

Kong Zhendong has never seen him in the national team, but in his last life, this name is absolutely thunderous, he has cultivated many world champions, and what Kong Zhendong admires the most is his forging of Wang Dali, which is really a perfect match for a famous teacher to meet a high apprentice.

Coach Zheng walked over at this time and said: "I know Coach Li Xiaodong, I used to be my predecessors in the capital team when I was an athlete and a coach. When he was an athlete, the country was not peaceful, so his training was not systematic and he did not achieve outstanding results. But after he became a coach, he was very thoughtful. His research on the physical fitness of the players is unique, and his research on basic training such as power and pace is at its peak. On the contrary, he does not pay much attention to the training of athletes' specific movements, and he thinks that it is rootless and minutiae. This unique way of training led him to the national team coaching staff. ”

solemnly said: "No wonder, the Beijing Times excerpted Coach Li Xiaodong's evaluation of yesterday's game, and he talked more about Zhendong's advantages in continuous strength and the suppression of chipping." The entire article will be published in Ping Pong World next month. ”

Kong Zhendong took the newspaper and found that it was only a review article the size of a tofu block, and it was placed alongside other articles touting the capital team.

Kong Zhendong found that Li Xiaodong's coach systematically expounded his forehand and backhand continuous power skills, some of which have only appeared in the 21st century. He is worthy of being called a master of power! I will have to ask him for more advice in the national team in the future.

It is a pity that the Beijing Times has a limited space, and the intercepted article is only a small paragraph of Li Xiaodong's article. I feel that the text behind will be an analysis of the capital team's next game against the Zhejiang South Provincial team. The Times is, after all, a rigorous newspaper, and this speculative text is not published.

"Zhendong, put the newspaper aside! The media is like this, winning a game will lift you to the sky, and if you lose in the afternoon, you will immediately be a rat crossing the street. Be calm! Practice your tactics against straights. ”

Are you sure Zhendong is going to go in the afternoon? How many games are played? Zheng Zheng seems to be more anxious than Kong Zhendong.

Coach Zheng sighed: "I'm sure to play, but I still can't argue about the first few games, and these reports are also harmful!" I'm here to arrange the training mission, and I have to go in and discuss it. Zhendong, no matter who you fight with, you just need to calm down and be prepared for a tough battle. ”

Kong Zhendong nodded and began training. Coach Zheng immediately rushed to the conference room.

In the conference room, smoke fills the air.

Coach Li Muhua only smokes fiercely when he is particularly annoyed.

Through the three rounds of the group stage, Kong Zhendong played three times, maintained a complete victory, and twice saved the capital team on the verge of elimination. Such a performance made all the coaches recognize him as the main player in the follow-up knockout rounds.

But after Kong Zhendong is the main force, who will be on the other two players? What is the order of entry? There was a lot of contention within the capital team.

When Coach Zheng came in, Li Muhua clapped his hands and said: "Chen Zhibing didn't go in the last round, as a national player, I can't help but give a chance." This ball is on Zhang Lei, Kong Zhendong, and Chen Zhibing. As for the number and order of the sessions, everyone will share their views. ”

Coach Pei first said: "Looking at the current state, Zhendong has won all, this time you can arrange to play two games, Zhang Lei can also play two games, Chen Zhibing is not sure how the state is adjusted, arrange the third singles to observe." ”

Coach Hong said: "I don't agree, I believe everyone has read today's report, all the reports have put Zhendong on the altar, the higher you hold it, the harder you fall." The more extraordinary times like this, the more likely the mentality of the young players to fluctuate, and I suggest that he play the third singles to protect him. ”

Coach Hong still cherishes the feathers, saying that he is protecting Kong Zhendong, but in fact, he is still afraid that Kong Zhendong's mentality will fluctuate, and he will fall in an instant and slap the face of the coaching staff of the capital team.

Coach Li Muhua was also a little moved, he said: "Zhendong did win all the fronts, but he can be directly promoted to the first singles, whether his own mentality can adapt is a problem, and the psychological gap of the other players in the team should also be considered." ”

Coach Zheng listened to the plans of several coaches, and said with a flash of inspiration: "Coach Li, I agree with your judgment that Kong Zhendong is under too much pressure and is not suitable to play the first game. I suggest that Zhang Lei is relatively stable and play the first singles, and Kong Zhendong can play the second game. The second singles of the southern Zhejiang provincial team must be Lu Ning, Zhendong just won Lu Ning in the Table Tennis Association Cup last year, and he has a psychological advantage. Chen Zhibing played the third singles. As for the last two games, we are the same as the third round of the group stage, we are not sure who will play the last two games, and then we will decide according to the state of Zhendong and Chen Zhibing. ”

Coach Zheng's arrangement is indeed a stroke of genius, avoiding Kong Zhendong to play the first game, as for the controversy over who will play two games between Kong Zhendong and Chen Zhibing, it will also be put aside for the time being, and when the time comes, speak with performance!

At nine o'clock in the morning, Kong Zhendong in training received a notice to prepare for the second singles against the national player Lu Ning.

Rizhi Lu Ning? The picture of the battle in last year's Table Tennis Association Cup hovers in my mind.

Kong Zhendong shook his head, the National Championship is the most heavyweight national champion after the National Games, Lu Ning's state is definitely not the same as the state of last year's Table Tennis Association Cup, I am afraid I will have to come up with the latest style of play for the straight board this year to fight.

At half past one in the afternoon, Kong Zhendong and others entered the Capital Gymnasium and Table Tennis Hall under the leadership of Coach Li Muhua.

"It's four quarter-finals matches this afternoon, right? We occupy the table tennis hall, what about the other teams? While warming up, Kong Zhendong used chat with his teammates to relieve tension.

Zhang Lei explained while pressing his legs: "Although our capital team is not the strongest, it pays the most attention to fans. So the table tennis hall was arranged, and the other games were renovated badminton halls, volleyball halls, and even basketball halls. ”

Chen Zhibing's psoas muscles and said with a smile: "Don't be scared later!" In the past, a number of group games were held simultaneously, the table tennis hall was divided into several competition areas, and the audience in each area was one or two thousand people. ”
