Chapter 324: Bite out the victory in the standoff!
At the beginning of the second game, Kong Zhendong served five first, and Li Jing received the serve.
Before serving, Kong Zhendong's left hand holding the ball made a gesture under the table, and Liu Guobang nodded knowingly.
This is a service round arranged by Coach Yin Xiao, who must win at the beginning of the second game.
Liu Guobang, who is good at attacking the first three boards, guards the third board, which is the most suitable hitting round for two people to cooperate to grab points and score.
Li Jing and Gao Lize are also aware of this, so the nerves of the two in this return round are highly tense, and the success or failure of these five balls is also the key to whether the two can counterattack in the second game and drag the game into the deciding game.
Li Jing and Gao Lize are not completely unprepared, and the two have also prepared a double insurance system to deal with this return round.
First of all, Li Jing is short but incredibly fast, and he is adept at raiding and bursting in an instant, and he will take every opportunity to return serve on the second board, or at least turn the tide and seize the offensive initiative.
If Li Jing's attack plan fails, then Gao Like, as the fourth board, his tall stature, huge platform protection area, and steady defensive style are all suitable for blocking Liu Guobang's offense on the fourth board.
Once the first four boards were over, Li Jing was fully confident, and the two could open the straight board continuous attack mode in the stalemate.
Kong Zhendong threw the ball quickly with his left hand, and the nervous Li Jing and Gao Lize moved their bodies at the same time.
Li Jing is ready to go to the stage to attack, and Gao Lize is ready to protect the stage, and rushing is the only chance for the two.
But the thrown table tennis ball is still rising.
What the? Kong Zhendong decided the dominant serve in the second game, but he actually chose a high-throw serve with a slow rhythm and weakened damage?
Kong Zhendong's high-toss serve, within the Chinese team, has always been regarded as the most champion temperament and the most gentlemanly serve.
There is no covering, no feints, and it is upright, but the trickery and killing will be weaker.
However, in this life, Kong Zhendong added improvements to his serve.
The appearance and action are still so dignified and unobstructed.
All the kills are the changes in the rhythm and shape of the racket at the moment of swinging the racket, the arm migration.
If you look at Kong Zhendong's arms and racket in high-frequency slow motion, you will find a flutter like a wave generator, or it feels like a ripple after a stone is thrown into the surface of a lake.
It is precisely because of the size of this ripple that it affects the timing and height of Kong Zhendong's hitting in the falling table tennis ball.
For the unpredictability of this hitting time, Li Jing, who started to receive the serve and was ready to attack, slammed it.
And at the moment when Li Jing's body slammed down, Kong Zhendong's figure slammed forward, and his right hand quickly rushed forward to hit the ball.
The rhythm between movement and stillness is grasped to the pinnacle.
Li Jing felt as uncomfortable as if she had been hit by a truck, and after her body stopped after braking suddenly, she had to start hitting the ball quickly.
Li Jing tried to coordinate her body movement and received the ball.
However, the misjudgment of the rhythm made him not mention receiving the serve and attacking, and being able to return the ball without rising to the top is already the limit of his efforts.
Li Jing's return is barely threatening, and Liu Guobang's third board has the basis for a strong attack.
Liu Guobang chua's shout, the body is on the waist axis, more than 180 degrees of rapid rotation.
With such a wide range of spins, everyone thought that the ball path and angle would pursue extreme spin and trickery.
But no one thought that Liu Guo's ball would be a quick kill.
Between two points, the straight line is the shortest.
The most extreme ball speed, the shortest distance, can naturally be played at the fastest speed.
Gao Lize, who had just opened the fight, was faced with this table tennis ball that had hit him.
Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang shook their fists with each other to cheer each other up, and they also encouraged each other.
From the rhythm of the serve, to the choice of the ball path for the final attack, the two worked together perfectly.
This ball is also the template for the next four serves.
Of course, Kong Zhendong does not have a high throw on every board, and Liu Guobang does not use every board to kill a straight line at the limit of the third board.
However, in this ball, Kong Zhendong suppressed Li Jing's near-Taiwan attack through the serve, and Liu Guobang, through the surprise of the line, avoided Gao Lize's defense in Taiwan, which is the essence of the two-person tactics.
In the first five serves, Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang scored four points.
Next is Li Jing's serve, and Kong Zhendong receives the serve.
The first return round was beaten by Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang, and Li Jing and Gao Rize faced a backwater battle.
Li Jing is the national singles runner-up, and with his physical talent and strength, he cannot support him to become the second in the country.
But what motivates him to beat all the country's masters except Ma Wenhua at last year's National Championships?
He relied on a stronger fighting spirit when he was strong.
The loss in the first game and the unfavorable start in the second game just stimulated the crazy side of the madman Li Jing.
Short in stature and excellent in explosiveness, he began to strengthen his impact from the serve.
With Li Jing's drive, the tall Gao Lize finally gave full play to his advantages.
Powerful Power Ball!
Gao Lize's third board is not as changeable as Liu Guobang. But the less his ball changes, the more straight it goes, and the thicker the ball, the more difficult it is for the 17-year-old Liu Guobang to pick it up.
Li Jing and Gao Lize's five-ball serve is not a novel winning tactic, it is precisely Li Jing's bloody drive, Gao Lize's vigorous awakening, which makes Li Jing and Gao Lize's serve also grab four points.
In the first two rounds of serving, the two sides played to a 5:5 draw.
Yin Xiao was a little dissatisfied with the draw at the beginning. But he found that Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang, who exchanged serves, were not impatient, and were still calmly exchanging tactics, and the impetuousness in his heart also calmed down.
Next is Liu Guo's serve, and Gao Lize receives the serve.
These five balls Yin Xiao is naturally relieved. Liu Guobang himself is the most threatening service master among the four people on the court.
Gao Lize is a typical tall and slow player with a wide defensive surface but poor ability to change specific points.
Liu Guobang and Kong Zhendong's serving tactics in this round are also the pursuit of double insurance.
Liu Guobang's serve threat is impactful, although the direct score is much less than that of singles, but there is still a certain chance of forcing Gao Lize to return to the top.
Let Gao Lize receive the serve and eat deflated, Kong Zhendong will have the ability to end the battle on the third board.
Of course, the chances of this probability appearing are rare, but another killer move is almost invincible.
It was Kong Zhendong's third board that focused on connection and ball-making, allowing Liu Guobang to kill the opponent on the fifth board.
The reason why Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang became the world's No. 1 doubles players in their previous lives is that their individual offensive ability in doubles is not as good as Wang Dali's.
However, their combination was able to reach the top, relying on Kong Zhendong's world-class connection and ball-making ability, coupled with Liu Guobang's innate keen ability to grasp the fighter.
Such a combination of two swords made Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang score four points again, 9:6 into the final service round of the first half of the game.
