Chapter 239: The King of Kings! 【Subscription】
Persson's forehand arc dominates the world with its fierceness. But it takes time for him to exert his strength.
Kong Zhendong's Gaiting unreasonable and forceful play style is not as strong as Persson's, but the victory is faster and the initiative to attack is suppressive.
To describe it as a common saying, it is this style of play, domineering and leaking.
Persson's return is relatively average and belongs to the first-class level in Europe, but in the whole of Europe, except for Waldner and Primorac, even if they are first-class players, the success rate of receiving and directly attacking is not high.
In the first game, Persson didn't need to force directly by returning the serve, he only needed to build up the ball on the second board.
After Kong Zhendong attacked on the third board, Persson directly grabbed the fourth board and backlashed back.
However, after Kong Zhendong changed to Gaiting's style of play in the second game, the third board and the first board worked together, and the attack rhythm was increased by one gear, so that Persson's original preparation of the strong fourth board rush did not have time to accumulate strength. After Kong Zhendong formed a strong pressure on the third board, he continued to unreasonably shoot the forehand burst fast belt, always allowing Persson to catch the ball in an awkward situation.
Persson couldn't hit a forehand power ball, and only scored one point on five returns.
Next up was Persson's five serves.
Persson, who was deflated in the return round, no longer used a chic high throw serve, but directly sideways and hit the ball vigorously with his forehand.
It's almost an offensive serve, with average spin but plenty of speed and power.
In the face of such a violent serve, everyone thought that Kong Zhendong should retreat and avoid the edge for the time being.
Kong Zhendong didn't retreat.
What is unreasonable play? That is, you think the most reasonable should be to suck the long ball, he is short swing, you think it should be unloaded, he is biased to exert force.
Gaiting's style of play is by no means the most reasonable way to play, but it is definitely a way to win.
Kong Zhendong quickly rushed forward when Persson didn't expect it, went directly to the stage, and quickly volleyed.
You're not the only one in this world who can control the arc and landing point in a powerful arc. I can also hit hard volleys and still make sure the ball lands accurately.
Kong Zhendong volleyed and counter-bombed Persson's forehand far from the corner.
Persson, who is known as the world's No. 1 in defensive range, is really not covered, and the angle that no one can save is called a dead corner.
However, Persson moved sideways and pocketed the ball on the outside of his forehand on the far platform in time.
At this time, the table tennis ball was already below the level of the table, and Persson made a longitudinal force, turning the impossible into a possibility, scooping the ball back and hitting back Kong Zhendong in the middle.
Because the ball was a squat and longitudinal force, after the successful save of the ball, the reaction force temporarily pinned Persson in place.
Kong Zhendong did not relax his vigilance because he hit a dead corner, and continued to take the stage to volley at this time, sweeping the backhand at a large angle, and the table tennis ball hit Persson's backhand dead corner.
At this time, Persson was still nailed to the forehand far platform, and the ball could not be saved anyway.
Kong Zhendong also played Gaiting's unreasonable style when receiving the serve, Persson turned his wrist, this fishing ball just now was really too extreme, and he thought that saving a dead corner could kill the opponent, but he didn't expect this kid to be so young, but the style of play is so leaky.
What will happen to him at his age? I remember when I hit a corner, I would wave my racket in celebration and even turn to face the crowd and cheer.
At that time, there were also a few memorable counter-killings, and with a lesson, I gradually grew up.
But what about this kid? But thirteen or fourteen? Unexpectedly, after the opponent saved the dead corner, there was no trace of surprise and panic, and he calmly waved the racket to change the line and hit the air, such a demon is worth 100% of his energy to treat!
Persson adjusted his form from the free play of the first game. Unfortunately, it all came too late. Gaiting's unreasonable and fierce style of play is a way of playing without going crazy and not living.
Once you go crazy, you can't take it back. Kong Zhendong's serve round and serve wheel continued to attack, which has become a trend and entered a state of madness, and Persson can only helplessly hate 2.
At 21:17, Persson went all out and chased a few balls, especially in the last few balls, the chase was fierce. If it is an opponent who lacks game experience and is not firm enough in mental quality, it is very likely to be overturned in the final stage.
It's a pity that Kandong, who looks young and lacks experience in the competition, shocked him again, and the calmness beyond his age, the big heart beyond the game experience, firmly held the advantage in the final stage and won the game.
Kong Zhendong won the second game, erasing the victory and defeat of the fifth game, and also brought the whole round back to parity.
If the applause and cheers given to Kong Zhendong before the start of the fifth game were just kind encouragement, then at this time, the enthusiasm of the fans can be described as frenzy.
Skiers fans, in particular, were hoping that the Wolverines would snipe the Gothenburg Tibetan Mastiffs and help the Skiers regain the top spot.
But Kong Zhendong's game has such magic. These fans began to move from well-intentioned encouragement to fanatical support.
In their impression, even Waldner, against Persson, is inevitably restrained and inferior, and they can't play such a wonderful offensive ball, it seems that they will have time in the future and watch more of the Wolverine's ball.
Unaware that he had inadvertently won hundreds of new fans for the Wolverines, Kong was listening carefully to his coach's tactics for the tiebreaker.
On the other side, Persson wiped his sweat with a towel indifferently, without the impatience and decadence that his teammates were worried about, and he was particularly indifferent at this time.
Garros asked worriedly: "Persson, this kid plays very fiercely, your strongest forehand is pressed and you don't have time to play at full strength, what should I do?" Or use the front rush to force him to retreat? ”
Persson smiled faintly: "This ball is more difficult than I imagined, but I still have a way to be useless~"
The break was very brief, and after the referee was disappointed that the game began, Persson started with five goals.
Persson is the first man in Europe to be technically all-round and versatile, with a wide range of attacking options. However, after losing the previous game, Persson decided to make a trick in this game.
At a critical juncture, no matter how many means of attack there are, you can only choose the strongest killer weapon.
The forehand arc was suppressed, and my backhand arc swept across Europe!
Persson issued the first game in the third game, and he made clear the tactics of the deciding game, using the arc of Europe's No. 1 backhand strength to tear apart Kong Zhendong's backhand defense.
Kong Zhendong showed his backhand rhythm change and fast playing and fast dialing skills in the first game, and such backhand strength is also ranked among the first-class players in Europe.
But the first-class players in Europe can't prevent Persson's backhand!
After a brief hesitation, Kong Zhendong turned his heart on the side and chose a new backhand strain technique.
Kong Zhendong knows that in the era of network media in later generations, star fans, table tennis critics, major self-media, and even table tennis masters have been arguing about a topic: who is the world's No. 1 backhand!
This is a question that has no standard answer. Because different periods and different technology evolutions will require different backhand techniques and backhand masters, but from the answers recognized by most people, it can also be seen which masters are expected to return.
Persson, in the era of forehand in the nineties, was the No. 1 king of backhand power balls.
Roscoff, among the several madmen of the ferocious faction, he is the only one, the backhand is more fierce than the forehand, crazy, and unscrupulous.
Kerber, an early pioneer in the Tainai twist, pioneered the genre of winning forehands with backhands in the era when forehands were king.
Glinka, a significant beneficiary of the over/under ball revolution, the first to rise in the big ball era, the chic and furious backhand continuous attack, that comparable to the world's top tennis players' extreme arm strength and racket swing movements, can be called the pioneer of the development of table tennis tennis.
Wang Yajun, the master of straight board and horizontal play, practiced to the extreme, and it is no longer worthy of pride to abuse the straight board players with his backhand, but the backhand tribute can tear apart the world's top horizontal board player at that time, and he is also the first person to receive the serve and twist and spin against the madman.
Zico, the first person to tear the backhand quickly, on the basis of the balance of the forehand and backhand, the backhand attack scores more than the forehand, and the backhand defense is better than the rest of the backhand masters.
Champion Dragon, few people specifically evaluate his backhand offense and defense as his main strength. But when it comes to the top backhand master, he definitely can't get around him. He was the first person in the era of the big ball to be truly technically versatile and fully converted. Therefore, the backhand is not stronger than the other. However, it is only a backhand that is similar to other techniques, and it is smooth in terms of offensive and defensive conversion and connection, forehand and backhand combination and ball path change. If you use the power of pumping the ball, or a single twist and pull, and tear quickly, the quality of this board, the champion dragon is not enough to stand out from the crowd. However, if the backhand technique is invincible and the master is the master, no one dares to compete with the champion dragon.
The last backhand Tianjiao, is known as the IMAX version of Jike Fan Zhendong, if Zike's limit force is nine points, Fan Zhendong's full force is eleven points, twisting, pulling and tearing and other predecessor tactics are in his hands with blue out of blue, backhand continuous holding after the forehand is also a stroke of genius.
Kong Zhendong quickly went through the backhand masters of the Over/Under era in his mind. He found that he was at the peak of his previous life, and with his unique skills such as ball control, quick cut, and variation, he couldn't squeeze into the top ten, and even if he was ranked, he was at the bottom of the list.
Then in the face of Persson, who is the first in the backhand power ball, if you want to win this ball, you have to find a way from other backhand maniacs.
Fan Zhendong, Wang Hao, Ji Ke, Wang Yajun's backhand play style relies on the big ball technology system, and it is okay to learn from the power generation methods and skills, but if the whole style of play is copied, you can win in the small ball era, but you can't get into the first-class master.
Roscoff himself is the first European backhand brother in this era, but he and Kerber can't beat Persson at this stage, let alone his own copycat?
The only thing left is the first violent backhand overlord who has crossed the over/under era - Glinka!
