Chapter 314: A Much-Anticipated Start!
Coach Yin Xiao laughed at himself: "The grouping of the group stage this time is also too evil. Because Li Jing and Gao Lize have excellent results in the past, and Li Jing's singles results are excellent, they are seeded players, and as for your other three teams, it is because they have recently formed a pair and do not have a strong record, so they were assigned together as a weak team. This time the bridge fell off, I guided you, Coach Wu Jingping guided Wang Fei and Qin Zhijian, Li Xiaodong guided Wang Dali Yan Sheng, the three marginal people of our national team actually met in the group stage of the National Games. ”
Ye Ying sighed: "Then the group stage of this National Games is really not only a disciple, but also a master!" ”
Kong Zhendong asked: "Coach, three groups of opponents, who will we meet in the first game?" ”
Yin Xiao applauded loudly, boosted his morale and said: "The first battle, the super young double straight board combination, Wang Fei and Qin Zhijian, you must win!" ”
After clarifying the opponent, Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang's training progress became more targeted.
The time comes to August, although the National Games will open in mid-September, but many events with long competition cycles and many preliminaries will kick off in August.
A typical example is the confrontation between the provincial teams of the men's basketball team, as well as the girls of the women's volleyball team who also have the same national plot as table tennis, and they also started competing in advance at the South Sichuan branch venue.
The scale of this National Games is unprecedentedly large. The reasons are manifold.
First of all, this is the first time that our country has held the National Games after six years, and it is also the first time to hold a large-scale comprehensive sports event after the successful hosting of the Asian Games in the capital in 90 years.
Many veterans are waiting for the National Games to fight for the provincial team that has cultivated them for decades.
Many young players hope to use the National Games to become gods and sit firmly in the provincial team, so that they can use the strength of the provincial team to seek greater glory in Atlanta after three years.
In addition to the six-year expectation and release of sports people and athletes. The greatest significance of this National Games for the country is that the country has already started all the actions of the capital to bid for the Millennium Olympic Games.
In November this year, the International Olympic Committee's annual general meeting will decide on the ownership of the cities that bid for the Millennium Olympics after the final round of presentations.
Now is the sprint stage for the whole country to hit the millennium Olympics, and at this time, large-scale multi-sport events are successfully held.
Holding a super-large-scale sports event second only to the Olympic Games in the world is the most beautiful answer that China has handed over to the world and the IOC.
The time came to mid-September, and with the collective attendance and active care of many leaders, the 7th National Games opened successfully.
Kong Zhendong, Liu Guobang and others did not participate in the live session of the opening ceremony of the National Games.
Because of the large number of table tennis competitions and the tight schedule, the first round of the men's doubles group stage was arranged on the same day as the opening ceremony of the National Games.
The Capital Gymnasium and table tennis hall were full.
Even if it was just a table tennis group match, it couldn't stop the cheers of the citizens of the capital who enthusiastically supported the National Games.
In the midst of the crowd, Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang began to play against Wang Fei and Qin Zhijian to adapt to the new ball.
After Kong Zhendong was reborn, he only participated in the doubles match with Zheng Zheng in the inspection of the youth team of the capital team into the official team.
After entering the national team, or during the national championships, as well as during the Swedish league, Kong Zhendong did not play doubles matches, nor did he receive doubles training.
Therefore, what Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang can rely on is three months of hard training and innate tacit understanding since they formed the team in June.
After practice, the cheers of the crowd were slightly lowered, and many regular fans knew to give the young players some space to make their successful serve with less mental fluctuations.
The rules of table tennis doubles serve are a bit more complicated than singles.
However, to sum it up, most of the rules of doubles are the same as those of singles, and the biggest difference is order!
That's right, pay attention to short-handed combat, fight to the death of table tennis, and follow strict order in doubles competitions.
This order is implemented from the moment the serve touches the ball, and those who disobey the order, no matter how beautiful the catch is, will be awarded a direct penalty to lose points.
Doubles matches are the same as singles, the rules are five balls in a rotation, the difference is that in the rotation, the order of the two sides to receive the serve is added.
The first game begins.
Kong Zhendong started with five goals. The order of receiving the serve is Wang Fei's serve, followed by Liu Guo's bat, then Qin Zhijian's hit, and then the loop is completed, and Kong Zhendong hits the ball again.
The sequence of rotation continues, and then the previous beat creates opportunities for teammates in the next beat, and accurately passes the continuous tactics to their comrades, which is the biggest tacit understanding of the doubles combination.
Kong Zhendong's body stood on the right side of the table tennis platform, and the table tennis ball quickly spun and ran out, attacking the opponent's forehand and big corner.
Wang Fei's forehand is straight and rushes back to the ball.
Liu Guobang's near-stage volley had been waiting for a long time, and his forehand burst forward, the friction was more sufficient, and the direction of Xuan was more elusive.
Liu Guobang smashed the slash vigorously on the third board and scored the first point.
Yin Xiao applauded reservedly on the sidelines, but Ye Ying and Guo Bing in the first row of the audience behind him were red.
This ball seems to be only three classes, but it reflects that Kong Zhendong began to limit Wang Fei's specialties when he sent it, but he gave full play to Liu Guobang's advantages.
According to the rules of the game, the order of both sides will not change during each five-ball service round.
Kong Zhendong was able to launch a more targeted attack on Wang Fei.
Yes, when dealing with serves, Kong Zhendong just operates the serve as an offense.
The doubles match is exciting because the four opponents have a three-board break and a chance to seize the opportunity before the next attack.
The time of the three cricket is not short, there is close to twenty seconds, which is enough for mature tactical arrangement.
It is such a tactical window period. It also gave Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang the opportunity to play an all-offensive style.
The doubles combination of all-offensive play, the first to be famous in the world is precisely their opponent, the double straight board combination.
It's Yoo Nam Kyu-nyun and Kim Chol-joo.
The match between Yoo Nam-kyu and Kim Chol-joo is that after the two retire from the stage, they take turns rushing forward to kill the ball.
Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang, one straight and one horizontal. In the traditional combination of the past, it was often horizontal defense and excess, straight board rush and final word.
This is how the mature doubles combination of Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang in their previous lives works.
But in the past three months, the run-in time between the two is too short after all, and they have to completely give one to the other to assist the attack, and the tacit understanding, the eye contact, and the fingers are like fingers, and the two of them can't do it.
What Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang can do at present is to ensure that the two people on the first three boards have assistance and connection, if Wang Fei and Qin Zhijian can carry the three boards, next, Kong Zhendong and
Liu Guobang began to attack in turns.
