Chapter 060: I Want to Get Stronger (2/3 Update)
Kerber directly twisted and pulled the super-spin curveball.
Kong Zhendong muttered: "He actually used a scientific twist now? ”
It is not an international technical term, it is the 21st century table tennis prince Zico's iconic backhand twist often kills opponents, and his fans name this technique after him, called the science twist pull.
Jike technology is more comprehensive and has better physical fitness, so it can be twisted and pulled by the whole backhand in Taiwan, which is indeed the culmination of the backhand technology turning passive into active.
Kerber was a little shorter, but like the later Greek star Glinka, he had arms about the thickness of an Asian thigh.
Such an arm twists and pulls, and the strength and rotation make Ma Wenhua, who likes to play fine balls, unbearable.
Zheng Zheng was also shocked: "Can you still attack like this with a backhand?" With such a strong spin, I'm afraid it's stronger than Cui Jin's backhand arc, right? ”
Kong Zhendong nodded and said: "Cui Jin's arc circle is still with the technology of straight forward rush, pure rotation is still not as good as Europe's backhand twisting, forward punching arc circle, more on the wrist, Kerber's twisting, more on the arm, you see how thick his big arm is!" ”
The first game ended quickly, and Kerber defeated China's first brother Ma Wenhua 21-16.
Kong Zhendong said: "Kerber still has weaknesses, he fights fiercely with the ball in the table, and he is invincible, but the ball return ball that is half withdrawn and completely withdrawn can only be dialed quickly, which shows that his backhand twisting and pulling has not been practiced to perfection, Ma Wenhua plays more scheduling balls, and avoids fighting with others for the ball, there is still a chance." ”
Of course, Kerber's backhand twisting and pulling did not reach the perfection, if he can twist and pull all over Taiwan, then what is there to do with Zico!
It's a pity that Ma Wenhua's adaptability is insufficient. The Chinese have solid basic skills, are good at fighting small balls in Taiwan, and avoid fighting back with Europeans, because they can't fight in strength. Such a tactical arrangement should have been the usual one for the Europeans before the war.
It's a pity that Ma Wenhua met a strange guy, Kerber is good at twisting and pulling counterattacks in the stage, and he is a scumbag when he retreats from the stage, but Ma Wenhua didn't find it, and the two continued to play in the table.
Ma Wenhua lost another game at 17:21 without any suspense, with a score of 0:2, and lost the first game of China's face against Czechoslovakia.
Kong Zhendong believes that if the Chinese team analyzes the game video as carefully as they do after the game, Ma Wenhua will definitely be able to win in the follow-up single competition against Kerber, but it will no longer be of any help to the national table tennis team competition.
The second game is the competition between the two sides in the No. 3 singles.
The strange competition system of the Chiba World Table Tennis Championships determines the order of the athletes, and it has also become very strange.
The Chinese team men's team of five is Ma Wenhua, Zhang Lei, Wang Tao, Chen Zhibing, and Yu Shentong.
The three people on the field in this game are Ma Wenhua, Zhang Lei, and Wang Tao.
Zhang Lei arranged the third doubles match with Ma Wenhua, and the fifth game to defend the tiebreaker, so he is the No. 2 person in the team competition.
Ma Wenhua, as the first brother of national table tennis, is responsible for the first game, the fourth game of two singles, and the third game of doubles, as the first brother, he has appeared three times in five games, and the International Table Tennis Federation has no choice, who let you have no restrictions?
Wang Tao only played the second game, so even if he played the second game, he was still called the No. 3 singles.
Czechoslovakia's line-up was also magical, with No. 1 singles Kerber in charge of the first and third doubles.
No. 2 singles Janch was in charge of the third doubles and the fifth.
As the No. 3 singles, Vimi is in charge of the second and fourth singles.
Vimy, as the third singles, is in charge of two singles matches, which is also wonderful, which in the 21st century, is only the treatment of the team's first brother.
So, the third singles of the two teams met early in the second game.
Kong Zhendong sighed: "The ITTF is still able to toss as always, with such a chaotic competition system, it is estimated that there will be a more bizarre arrangement of troops in the future." ”
At the beginning of the match between Wang Tao and Vimy, Wang Tao is a very aggressive athlete, and his serve is strange and changeable.
Vimi never received Wang Tao's serve well, and the number of rounds in the game was small, and the battle situation was relatively dull.
In the end, Wang Tao defeated Vimi very easily with a score of 2:0 and pulled the score to 1:1 for the Chinese team.
In the third match, the two sides faced off in a crucial doubles matchup.
This game also allowed Kong Zhendong to see Kerber's backhand twist and pull with Yanqi's Czech fast arc, and he actually played a more flexible and sharp attack than the Chinese team.
The Chinese team has always been at a disadvantage, but it has bitten the score, and the last few key balls in the two games are actually played by the referee who plays a decisive role.
The unique service skills of Asian players have prompted the ITTF to impose more and more rules restrictions. Zhang Lei's serve of several key balls was punished by the referee as a violation of the joint ball and was directly penalized.
The ITTF stipulates that the serve must be thrown in a straight line, just to avoid the combined ball. Zhang Lei's serve, but habitually thrown inward, the ball is thrown inward, and the board is rubbed outward, forming a joint ball, this kind of rotation is unpredictable, but it also violates the iron law of the International Table Tennis Federation.
These penalty points have a huge impact on the Chinese team and Zhang Lei.
In the two doubles, the Chinese team was judged to have violated the serve in the final link, and only lost two points in each game.
Such variables made Ma Wenhua and Zhang Lei a little annoyed and overwhelmed after losing.
Seeing the game here, the capital players who watched the video were clouded in their hearts.
You're not going to lose, are you?
The big score of 1:2 is not the point, the focus is on the state of Ma Wenhua and Zhang Lei, who will play two games in the future.
Sure enough, in the fourth game, Ma Wenhua's state was extremely poor, and he faced the opponent's No. 3 person Weimi, who Wang Tao could defeat casually, and he actually played extremely hard.
Fortunately, the key ball was stabilized, and finally won the fourth game with a difficult 2:1 game.
Whether the Chinese team can enter the semifinals of the World Table Tennis Championships, the ultimate responsibility falls on Zhang Lei.
It's the same as whether or not you can reach the final of the Asian Games last year.
Last year's semi-final results were already the lowest point, and this year can it be even worse?
Zhang Lei's emotions have obviously not recovered from the emotion of the service penalty in the third game, and Janch's Czech fast arc play has become a system of its own.
In the end, Zhang Lei lost with a score of 0:2, and the Chinese team missed the semi-finals of the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time in more than 30 years.
After watching the video of the game, head coach Li Muhua said: "At noon, everyone is free to practice the tactical gains and losses and the characteristics of the playing style of this game. The ranking rules of the World Table Tennis Championships are very strict, losing the semifinals, the Chinese team will play the qualifying match of 5~8 places, in the afternoon, we continue to observe the qualifying match, disband, free training! ”
After the disbandment, Zheng Zheng's mood was still a little low, but Kong Zhendong said: "Ah Chong, I have found a new way to strengthen my backhand attack, now on, you help me train and twist!" ”
Kong Zhendong's fast belt and reverse cut in his previous life were both tactics of backhand defense and counterattack, and he did not have the ability to take the initiative to attack. He originally thought that the backhand twisting and pulling was Zico's stunt in the big ball era, but this game opened up his new ideas, he wanted to be the first to practice the backhand twisting and pulling in the small ball era!
