Chapter 219: The Table Tennis Champions League is coming
In the first half of the second game, Kong Zhendong used Wang Tao's near-Taiwan fast attack and backhand continuous active attack tactics to occupy a clear advantage.
After the score was 16:9, he entered Zhang Lei's serve again.
Zhang Lei has also discovered that although Kong Zhendong's technical style of play is different from Wang Tao's, he is using Wang Tao's style of play to deal with himself in terms of rhythm and style.
Zhang Lei then attacked Wang Tao's weakness in the service round.
What is Wang Tao's style of play most afraid of? I am most afraid that the opponent will force him to retreat.
In Kong Zhendong's service round, his ferocious attack and backhand suppression took the lead, and Zhang Lei had no chance to force him to retreat.
When it came to Zhang Lei's offensive round, it was different. He serves and serves the long ball.
Kong Zhendong still insisted on not retreating from the stage, but unfortunately Zhang Lei's pressing style of play, if he did not retreat, his strength would not be sufficient, and he fell into passivity.
Zhang Lei uses continuous pull scores.
On the second serve, Kong Zhendong made good use of the mid-platform play, which was an improvement on Wang Tao's play.
If you retreat to the far platform, the ferocity of the near station will inevitably decrease. But if you don't retreat at all, you can't exert your strength, and you can only be beaten passively when you encounter Zhang Lei's continuous pulling.
Kong Zhendong chose the middle platform, and then cooperated with his own footsteps known as the first in China, so that the connection between the middle platform and the near Taiwan retained the intensity of Wang Tao's near Taiwan fight.
Then came the moment when his waist was boring. Since his rebirth, he has paid special attention to the training of physical flexibility and waist strength. His absolute strength is still lacking, but in terms of power skills and science, the expert coaches in the 90s are not as good as him.
He relied on his waist strength and foot mobilization in the middle of the platform, making the sideways pull ball slightly weaker than the far platform, at least not completely passive.
After Kong Zhendong's offensive and defensive conversions in the middle platform were opened, Zhang Lei's tactical effect of pressing the far platform was immediately reduced by half, and he only scored three points in the service round.
This is the service round that determines the trend of the game, and after ending this round of five serves, Kong Zhendong entered his own service round with a score of 18:12.
Kong Zhendong occupied five serves, only scored three points to end the game, and the lead reached 6 points, Kong Zhendong basically won the game, unless suddenly psychological fluctuations, the mind was clouded, and the opponent reversed to win.
Manager Schultz asked Coach Bengersen suspiciously: "Coach Bengersen, although I don't know much about the advanced tactics of table tennis, I can also see that Kong Zhendong doesn't seem to use the techniques you taught in the deciding game, or European?" ”
As long as Kong Zhendong is not dizzy and suddenly can't play, then he will definitely win this game. This is also a victory of Bengesen's arrangement, so Coach Bengesen is also very relaxed, he smiled: "It's really not a European technology, I feel like it's a Chinese fast attack, but it's not the traditional one, it should be a new generation of Chinese horizontal boarders in recent years who have developed a suitable near-platform fast attack technology." Because they are generally not tall, they adopt the tactics of fighting and grabbing near the stage. ”
Schultz looked at Bengerson's height of less than 1.65 meters, and sighed in his heart: In terms of height, you don't want to talk about others.
Schultz was interested in the next game, asking: "We face Milan 1982 next week and I heard that this team is now dominated by Chinese. And the legend of this team, you don't know it, do you?"
Bengersen nodded: "Of course I know, and European table tennis people also know." In 85, the International Table Tennis Federation formulated the rules to limit the rubber color of Mi Xingbang's double-sided racket, which made his transfer style of play come to an end, and in the same year, he lost to Jiang Jialiang, the new leader of the Chinese team, and could not win the men's singles championship at the World Championships, so he chose to retire. After retiring, the Chinese team sent him to Italy to coach. In the years that followed, he was both the coach of the Italian national team and the head coach of the Italian team Mira 1982. ”
Schultz nodded: "Yes, that year, Milan 1982, as an amateur club, has just been established for three years, and it is the first year that it has just entered the Italian Table Tennis A-League. When Mi Xingbang took over such a new weak team in the league, it was also to show the Italians his ability. ”
At this time, Kong Zhendong had already scored 20 points on the court, 20:14, in the face of six match points, Bengersen completely removed his energy from the game on the court, and said with respect: "To be honest, let me guide the Italian team from scratch, my ability is definitely not as good as Mi Xingbang, not to mention, he used two years to let Milan 1982 Club win the highest crown of the Italian Table Tennis League, and successfully defended the title." Although after Mi Xingbang returned to China to coach, the strength of Milan 192 Club slipped to Serie A in the past two years and dispersed, but this team has left a distinct brand of Mi Xingbang from tactical play to team will. ”
Kong Zhendong scored the last point at this time, Schultz and Bengesen stood up to applaud him, and Sith Pan and other players rushed into the stadium and held Kong Zhendong up.
Schultz applauded and said: "Mi Xingbang's nickname as the godfather of Italian table tennis is not in vain, not only Milan 1982, but the entire Italian table tennis community has been deeply branded with Mi Xingbang." Is it really okay for us to compete with a team like this for the European Champions League right away? And I think Kong Zhendong is more about his skills in the Chinese team, and there is no new European style of play, so he will be difficult to win in the face of the European players brought out by Mi Xingbang, right? ”
Ben Gesen also began to frown and ponder, he taught Kong Zhendong the European pure fast arc play, Kong Zhendong has only been practicing for a month, this set of techniques is by no means a quick way to play, not to mention that Kong Zhendong is still trying to integrate with the previous technical play, so that to form a peak attack power, don't count on it in the short term.
Then next week, Kong Zhendong can only face the Milan 1982 team tempered by Mi Xingbang with Chinese skills, and face his Chinese brother who has taken root in Italy, and the difficulty of winning may be more difficult than facing the pure Swedish national player, the top European warrior.
If the team is still performing a garbage league crane tail posture this year, I will give up the Champions Cup, but now that I have played such a momentum, then the qualification for the European Champions Cup cannot be lost. Bengersen is secretly determined to conduct a new round of special training for Kong Zhendong to prepare for next week's Champions Cup qualifiers.
At this time, Kong Zhendong, who won the game, was not as far away as Coach Bengerson thought.
Sith Pan and other team members hugged him and held him up to greet the spectators, and after a brief greeting, Kong Zhendong first went over to greet the skier's opponents.
This is the first game Zhang Lei lost after coming to Sweden, or lost to the 13-year-old junior brother, and he was a little lost in his heart. Seeing Kong Zhendong coming over to greet him with a very low posture, he felt a little better in his heart.
Kong Zhendong then went to say hello to Waldner.
Waldner won two games today and according to the league points rules, he earned a valuable point for his team to keep the chance of chasing the league leaders.
