Chapter 223: The Secret of the Red Forehand
At six o'clock in the evening, the crowd began to enter the home stadium of the Milan 1982 team.
Victoria, wearing a peaked cap, holding Madeleine, who was wearing toad sunglasses, wearing a casual jacket on the upper body, and straight-leg denim on the lower body, entered the arena audience in civilian costumes.
Madeleine playfully pressed the toad mirror down with her index finger, glanced around alertly, and said to her sister with a smile: "From yesterday to today, we ran at least ten shows, I don't remember our route, those reporters must have thrown off." ”
Victoria smiled: "Yes, anyway, in previous years, we had to watch a few Milan fashion shows every year, and as long as they thought they had the right time, they would leave with the material satisfied." ”
Madeleine removed her glasses and inserted the legs into the neckline of Victoria's chest, which was pinned to Victoria's chest. Victoria angrily slapped Madeleine twice, but did not take off her sunglasses.
Madeleine smiled: "It's really tiring to wear these glasses, you have to laugh uncontrollably to watch the game, and it is interesting to shout insolently." I heard that there is a Chinese player in the Milan 1982 team, who plays very fiercely, and many European powerhouses have been taught by him. ”
Victoria looked at the portraits of the main players of the Milan 1982 team hanging high in the stadium at this time. Among them was a Chinese man, with angry eyes, open mouth and roaring, and a face as harsh as a knife, and a fierce aura came to his face.
Victoria looked at the brochure handed out by the staff in front of the stadium with the introduction of the players, and quickly saw Yang Min's detailed information.
Looking at the introduction materials, the first main force of the Chinese provincial team, the second winning rate of the Italian League, the quarterfinals of the European Championship and other dazzling titles, Victoria couldn't help but worry about Kong Zhendong.
At half past six, the players from both sides began to enter, and Kong Zhendong also met Yang Min himself for the first time.
The coaching staff of both sides began to set up the line-ups for the first three games, and the players began to warm up on the auxiliary tables on either side of the center table.
While Kong Zhendong was doing warm-up exercises, he also observed the pre-game training of the Milan 1982 team.
In the pre-match training of many games in the Swedish league, Kong Zhendong found that whether it is a top superstar such as Ape Allen, Waldner, or ordinary second-rate European players, their pre-match training is not systematic.
For a superstar like Waldner, the pre-match warm-up can only be regarded as a warm-up.
There is a huge difference between Eastern and Western coaches and training systems.
In the basic training of the Chinese team, pre-competition training is a very important, very systematic and very serious link, which is also very beneficial to the basic skills and proficiency of athletes.
On the contrary, European players who are spontaneous often warm up before the game only to mobilize the excitement of the body, without doing any special training.
Kong Zhendong stared at the pre-match training of the Milan 1982 team at this time, and found that their training was much more systematic and clever than that of the Swedish Wolverine.
The Wolverines can be regarded as Sweden's down-and-out giants, and the down-and-out giants at least have the traditions and training systems of the giants, but it is obvious that the pre-game training of the Milan 1982 team, which has been established for less than ten years, is more systematic and higher.
Kong Zhendong couldn't help but sigh: I'm afraid this is the foundation laid by Mi Shuai in Italy back then, the other coach has been able to pass on Mi Shuai's excellent experience for so many years, and this Nesta is not simple.
Kong Zhendong also thought: Since the systematic pre-game training system is so well preserved, then Mi Shuai's previous basic training must have been inherited, and the European players trained by the Chinese system are absolutely stronger than other players trained by the European system, not to mention the Chinese player Yang Min, under such advanced European training hardware facilities, coupled with the pure and most adaptable Chinese basic training system, then his growth is absolutely different and it is difficult to integrate with himself and Zhang Lei's Sino-European technology.
At 6:50, the Wolverines and Milan 1982 submitted their lists for the first three rounds of matchups.
The lineup is displayed on a large screen in the center of the arena.
Match 1: Wolverines against Milan 1982 Yang Min
Match 2: Kong Zhendong vs. Casvaro
Match 3: Wolverine's Gesta vs. Milan's 1982 Moslier
Bengersen looked at the match sheet and couldn't help but smile confidently: this time the lineup once again guessed the opponent's lineup.
Bengersen also knows Yang Min, the main player of the Milan 1982 team, and knows that he is a representative of the straight, fierce and fast-attacking faction.
This style of play is especially suitable for playing with momentum in the first game of the duel.
Therefore, Bengersen guessed that although Yang Min is the main general, according to the style of play, the opponent may use him as a pioneer.
Guessing that the Milan 1982 team might send the first main player Yang Min in the opening game, Bengersen immediately sent Sith Pan, who played with a more impactful style, to play the first game, and the main player Kong Zhendong held the second game.
At seven o'clock, the match between Sith Pan and Yang Min started on time.
When Yang Min and Sith Pan were adjusting to the new ball, Kong Zhendong stared at Yang Min's racket in a daze.
Yang Min's racket is a Chinese fast-break standard forehand and backhand reversal configuration.
What surprised Kong Zhendong was the rubber color of Yang Min's racket.
Yang Min slapped straight with his right hand and quickly pushed with Sith Pan.
The forehand rubber that Yang Min kept pushing forward was actually red.
The International Table Tennis Federation stipulates that the front and back sides of the racket must be red and black, and the racket is not allowed to hit the ball with a bare board, because the sponge is often more compatible with pure black rubber, on the contrary, the red colored rubber is compatible with the glue, and the elasticity often cannot reach the best.
In regular matches, the forehand is used much more than the backhand, so the vast majority of table tennis players use black as the forehand and red as the backhand.
However, Yang Min, who is in Italy, is obsessed with using red as the front color of the racket.
Kong Zhendong judged that the players with red positive rubber plots are first of all particularly fond of red, which is reflected in Chinese players, that is, they have a strong Chinese red complex.
Secondly, red as a forehand, the elasticity of the rubber, the compatibility of the glue is obviously not good, in this case it still does not affect the strength of the play, then it proves that the player's equipment can be very simple, proving that this is a pure hand feel and technology, rubber, bottom plate and other equipment help can be ignored.
After the game officially began, Kong Zhendong's judgment was confirmed.
Yang Min's style of play is very direct and tough, his racket looks a little shabby and simple, but his thumb and index finger are tightly buckled, and the inferior base plate and the incompatible forehand rubber do not affect his play at all.
On the contrary, because the racket is not elastic enough, after the ball hits the racket, it is quickly hit when it falls deep enough, making the ball faster and the ball path more extreme and aggressive.
Sith Pan, who has always been good at rushing and killing, was hit by Yang Min's straight forehand at the beginning of the game, and was in an absolutely passive situation.
