After returning to the gymnasium, Kong Zhendong and Zheng Zheng started the special training of backhand twisting.

Zheng Zheng was responsible for bouncing and feeding the ball, and Kong Zhendong was continuously twisting and pulling.

In the past few months, Kong Zhendong is in the golden period of growing his body, and with Heli's physical training, he has probably grown 2~3cm taller in the past few months.

Kong Zhendong felt that with this teenager's much stronger skeleton and nutrition than his previous life, the final height was at least about 180cm.

With such a body as the foundation, Kong Zhendong dared to practice the backhand twisting and pulling technique that required strong force when he was a teenager.

Before and after meals, they practiced for an hour each.

If it's just movement skills, Kong Zhendong is very familiar with backhand twisting and pulling, and it is very easy to practice.

But once he entered the actual combat confrontation drill, Kong Zhendong found that his backhand force and pulling speed could not keep up with Zheng Zheng at all.

Although the speed of the solemn power bullet has improved, it is not the top in China, if even his speed can't keep up, Kong Zhendong doesn't want to use this set of skills to participate in the national competition.

Kong Zhendong also knew very well in his heart that Jike had practiced for more than ten years to become famous, and it was impossible for him to integrate it in two hours. What's more, the confrontation in the small ball era, the speed and spin are completely different from the big ball era, and Zico's power generation method cannot be completely copied.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the players continued to watch the game of the Chinese team.

According to the ranking rules, the four teams that lose in the quarterfinals will draw lots for a matchup, with the winning teams competing for five or six places, and the losing two teams competing for seven or eight places.

Coach Hong introduced before the projector lit up: "The four teams that lost in the quarterfinals of this World Table Tennis Championships are China, North Korea United, Germany, and Canada. Now it is playing the showdown between the Chinese team and the North Korean team. ”

Zheng Zhengqi said: "North Korea and South Korea are so strong, they can't even miss the top four? Isn't Asia falling en masse?"

Kong Zhendong is more concerned about the German team. In the 21st century, the German team is the main opponent of the Chinese team in Europe, and Boll and Ocharov have defeated the Chinese team to reach the top.

91 is the first time after the merger of East Germany and West Germany to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships as a whole, but they also missed the semi-finals, which shows that the competition in men's table tennis is fierce.

The battle between China and the DPRK and the ROK is not only related to whose ranking is further, but also related to the honor of the Asian hegemon.

Kong Zhendong said solemnly: "With the paper strength of the North Korean United, it will definitely not be impossible to enter the top four, it must be for political correctness, and the wrong arrangement of troops has been made, and such a chemical reaction may be 1+1 Xiaoyu 2." ”

Sure enough, in order to satisfy the leaders, the combination of the two Koreas enforced that North and South Korea play the same number of games, and the doubles pairing must be played by each country.

This way of arranging the troops of the DPRK-ROK joint team directly caused Kim Chol-joo to be unable to play. South Korea's Liu Nankui played two singles, and the North Korea's Choi Jin shot two singles, for the sake of political correctness, Liu Nankui and Northern Dynasty Jin Chenxi paired doubles, so that the three places were full.

On the Chinese team's side, the positions of Ma Wenhua and Wang Tao remained unchanged, and Chen Zhibing replaced Zhang Lei, who had a bad performance in the last game.

Kong Zhendong felt that because of the chaos in the arrangement of the North Korean United team, the Chinese team should be able to win the game.

It's a pity that the spirit of the Chinese team did not rebound from the fiasco in the last game, except for the doubles match, which was indeed won by the Chinese team because of the lack of strength of Jin Chenxi in the Northern Dynasty and dragged down Liu Nankui.

In four singles, the Chinese team only relied on Cui Jin's research since last year's Asian Games to win one, Liu Nankui scored two points, Cui Jinzhu won one win and one loss, and finally the Korean United team defeated the Chinese team that fell to the bottom with a score of 3:2.

After the whole game, he was still a little stunned when he watched it solemnly, and he wondered: "The Chinese team lost like this?" Then there is no chance to compete for five or six places, and the Chinese team is ranked seventh at most? ”

The national men's team, representing the overall strength of table tennis in a country, China actually ranks seventh in the world?

Coach Li Muhua said heavily: "At the Chiba World Table Tennis Championships, the men's and women's team competitions are over, and the Chinese men's team finally defeated Canada in the seven or eight duels, and won the seventh, and the Korean team lost to Germany and only ranked sixth. In addition to Germany, the top four places in this World Table Tennis Championships are Sweden, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. ”

Are the top five teams in Europe?

Coach Li Muhua then shouted: "Let everyone watch these two games today, not only to learn advanced techniques and tactics, but also to understand the status of our national football in the world today. This all-round crushing of Europe is no longer the decline of the Chinese team, but the decline of the whole of Asia. It is a comprehensive rout in Asia in terms of technical play and talent training! We lost! The seventh in the World Table Tennis Championships is the worst record of the Chinese team since participating in the World Table Tennis Championships. ”

Coach Li stabilized his emotions and said: "We only won the semi-finals in the Asian Games last year, and everyone thought it was already a low point, but this year we won seventh, what about next year?" Three years from now, five years from now? Four years later, the World Table Tennis Championships will be held in Jinmen, China, when the world powers will fight in Jinmen. At that time, it was the year of the fight for all of you. If any of you grow up and are selected for the national team, you will bounce back at that time? Or get worse outside of the quarterfinals? This is not alarmist, the Japanese team, which dominated the international table tennis arena before us, also declined before us. As the hosts, they won the thirteenth place! And what about us who were once glorious? Is it to restore the glory in your hands? Or will it sink deeper into the valley? It's up to you to train hard in the next few years. Throw away Lao Tzu's mentality of being the first in the world, put aside the arrogance of the old technology in the world, look at the world, and remove the chaff, so as to make yourself stronger and make the national ball stronger! ”

Kong Zhendong and Zheng Zheng and other team members, their hearts are extremely depressed, but they are also enthusiastic, three or five years later, how far have they grown? Can the glory of the national football be revived?

Finally, Coach Li said: "Now everyone is still disbanded, free training, back here after dinner, we will watch the women's team finals, it is still the Chinese team against the North Korean team, the men's players should not take it lightly, many of the women's team's technical play, for our men's all-round play, especially the two-sided arc combined with the fast attack of the play, is very inspiring, tonight's final, I also hope you can understand something new!" ”

Leaving the tactics room, it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the team members rushed to the cafeteria for dinner.

solemnly took the initiative to say: "Zhendong, I'll accompany you to practice!" ”

Kong Zhendong looked at him suspiciously.

said solemnly and seriously: "I know, no matter how I practice, I can't carry the backbone of the Chinese team, but you are more talented, more potential, you can, with my dream, let the national ball rise again and return to the top!" ”

Kong Zhendong looked at his solemn and serious face, nodded firmly, and said, "Okay!" ”
