Chapter 204: The Battle of Fame [Ask for Subscription]
Kong Zhendong and Ape Allen quickly pulled each other to adapt to the new ball.
Kong Zhendong took the lead in serving five balls.
Kong Zhendong flicked the table tennis ball twice on the floor, feeling the elasticity.
Table tennis in this era has not been required to change the material, and the elasticity is much stronger than that of table tennis in later generations.
The more elastic the ball, the more advantageous it is for players with strong push and fast play, and Ape Allen is a master of combining the backhand high hanging arc with fast play.
Therefore, Kong Zhendong spent more effort to feel the elasticity of the ball.
Kong Zhendong turned to the left side, his right hand held the shot inward, and while his left hand was quickly thrown low, his right hand swirled outward.
Cut the serve with a backhand and go straight and half billiards. Kong Zhendong's backhand straight is the forehand of a regular player, but it is the backhand of the left-handed Ape Allen.
The biggest essence of Kong Zhendong's serve is not the speed and spin of the ball.
It's the power of the whole body. Kong Zhendong's entire body was raised with the backhand serve, and his whole body opened quickly.
The forward tension associated with the force causes the body to rush forward quickly.
This is a continuous force technique of serving, so that after the opponent receives the serve and returns the ball, there is no need for the second force after restoration.
Sith Pan was completely shocked by this move off the court, and he asked Bengerson, "Coach, is this your secret power technique?" Extend the power of the serve and hit the ball directly on the third board. Two shots are hit with one force, and the body restoration and secondary power in the middle are omitted, and the round speed is almost doubled. ”
Ben Gesen shook his head and sighed: "This should be the first three board skills that Zhendong learned from China's fast attack. However, I have fought against Chinese fast attackers such as Chen Longcan and Jiang Jialiang, and I have never experienced such a coherent power technique. Of course, this may also be the power skills that Zhendong has honed by himself in combination with China's fast attack skills. I didn't see him use it in training, so he was forced by Ape Aaron! ”
Kong Zhendong used the advanced technique of hitting the ball twice with one force, and he was indeed forced by Ape Allen.
Ape Allen's strongest offensive means is a forehand quick kill after the forehand and backhand continuously high hanging arc circle to mobilize the opponent.
The threat is that the ball is erratic, easy to control the opponent, and the weakness is slowness.
From the first serve, Kong Zhendong began to pursue fast and slow.
Bringing the pace up, Ape Allen's strongest high hanging arc will not come in handy.
After Ape Allen used his forehand to quickly dial the ball back, Kong Zhendong's third board of continuous power had come to the stage, and he directly took the arc with his forehand and hit the backhand with a slash.
Ape Arun quickly retreated,
Ape's strongest defense is actually a two-sided arc defense. The high-hanging arc circle itself is also a killer feature for the transformation of the passive into the active.
It's just that under the shooting of Ape Allen, the passive defensive arc turned into a backhand quick pull after the active retreat.
Kong Zhendong was startled, he hit the opponent's blind triangle with his forehand, and it was the first time that the opponent came back, and he returned so suddenly.
After Kong Zhendong judged the landing point of the ball, his body quickly rushed forward, and he turned sideways to meet the front, and quickly pumped the forehand to change the line.
Bengerson unconsciously applauded the crowd on the sidelines: "How smart! Ape Allen's anti-pull hoisting has turned passive into active, Sith Pan, if it were you, how would you deal with it? ”
Sith Pan replied without hesitation: "Ape Allen's continuous arc attack is too strong, in order to prevent him from forming a continuous attack, I will rush quickly to try to get the initiative back." ”
Ben Gesen smiled: "Your response is very timely, but the risk is very high, and the success rate is less than a board." Kong Zhendong's response was very smart. The opponent's high hanging arc has established the initiative, and he did not immediately exert his strength to grab, but did a good job of his own strength, pursuing the change of line of the return ball. That's a lot of money. His aim was also to disrupt Ape'aaren's streak. Zhendong successfully changed the line, and Ape Allen had to give up the original second force continuous attack action, and instead moved the line ball again, and the initiative naturally returned. ”
It was a real battle of wits and courage for the first goal. Kong Zhendong's board changed the line, forcing Ape Alun to move his body sideways in a hurry, Kong Zhendong took advantage of this quick realization, took advantage, and scored continuously by plucking.
This goal won the applause of the audience, even the visiting team media such as the Visby Vanguard newspaper was blessed with this goal.
Kong Zhendong's second serve became a forehand fast serve, and the ball path also changed, the only thing that remained unchanged was that with the help of the serve, the whole body quickly opened, and the third board was coherent.
This is quite an advanced power technique, dealing with average opponents, enough to establish a clear advantage in the first three boards.
However, Kong Zhendong used to train with Bengersen, and he was more likely to encounter Ape Allen's high-hanging attack, how to defend.
When the game really started, Kong Zhendong found that compared with the offense, after Ape Allen semi-retreated, no matter how he hit his forehand and backhand, he couldn't kill him, but instead consumed a lot of physical strength.
Ben Gesen sighed: "I was also made helpless by the monster of Zhendong, in the preparation and training, Ape Alun is a world-class star after all, of course, I think about how Ape Alun presses Zhendong, continuous attack, how Zhendong defends and counterattacks." Who knew that he opened the game with Ape Allen in a situation where he was pressing? ”
Sith Pan nodded on the side and said: "This may be determined by talent, my first game against Ape Allen basically used the fast arc play taught by the coach how to face the defensive counterattack of the high hanging arc circle, but unfortunately I was not strong enough and still lost." ”
Ben Gesen frowned and thought: "With Kong Zhendong's current physical strength and arc hard power, even if I know that he has mastered the tricks of pressing Ape Allen in the first three boards, I can't study the offensive routines in the back." With his existing arsenal, he really can't kill Ape Aaron, who is attacking on defense at any time in a two-sided arc. ”
Kong Zhendong's attack was almost unbeatable, but he insisted on the target, and what he always stood on was the initiative established by the serve.
Apei Allen's defense was invincible, but the backlash was not strong, and he couldn't take back the initiative occupied by Kong Zhendong for a while.
In this situation, Ape Allen used to use defense to make consecutive offensive mistakes of opponents. Kong Zhendong's biggest advantage is his soft touch and psychological quality far beyond his age.
After finding that he couldn't die, Kong Zhendong was not arrogant or impatient, he took the initiative and didn't let go, and the others did not pursue the limit ball, but more fight and control the landing point.
Apei Allen and Kong Zhendong are both outstanding masters of ball path and landing control in the small ball era.
At this time, Ben Gesen squinted and smiled, Sith Pan thought for a while, and finally understood: "No wonder Kong Zhendong desperately wants to get that little initiative." In his service round, since he can't beat his opponent, he has to fight for control, and he and Ape Allen have strong mobility and control. But in the end, who will transfer whom? Who controls whom? It depends on who takes the initiative, Zhendong grabs the initiative not to score offensively, but to ensure mobilization and control, so that Ape Allen can make mistakes in the continuous mobilization and control. ”
The audience applauded incessantly and was fascinated.
Although Kong Zhendong's five serves rarely make continuous efforts, and he vigorously kills the ball to score points, but the back and forth scheduling and ball control still make the audience fascinated.
With a 4:1 advantage, enter the service wheel of Ape Allen.
Ape Allen began to prepare to serve, and he also quickly bounced the table tennis ball to the ground twice, feeling the elasticity of the table tennis ball.
Contrary to Kong Zhendongfang's goal of defending the elasticity of the ball, Apei Allen is to better perceive this elasticity and use this elasticity.
Ape's position before serving made Kong Zhendong feel very awkward.
Kong Zhendong holds the racket with his right hand, so his body occupies the left side of the central axis of the table tennis platform, which is convenient for most of the area of the forehand to protect the table, and the backhand can also quickly hold the straight line.
Ape Allen is a left-hander, and it's normal for him to lean to the right side of the table, but he deviates to the limit, almost to the corner of the right side of the table.
Kong Zhendong and Apei Allen faced each other head-on, so the left and right of the two were opposite, which caused both of them to be on the same side of the table tennis table, and at the same time completely empty the other side of the table.
Kong Zhendong judged that Apei Allen's position was more inclined to the outside of the table tennis table than himself, in order to leave a straight line in front of his backhand.
In this way, Ape Allen can serve quickly with a forehand, and he can run straight to suppress his backhand, so as to take the initiative and score consecutive points.
With such a judgment, Kong Zhendong immediately took corresponding precautions.
Ape Arun holds the racket flat with his left hand, and his big arm drives the elbow back to the limit, tense.
Throw your right hand quickly and low, rotate your body, and rub your left hand forward.
The force of rushing forward as quickly as a punch, the moment the ball is hit, there is a strange side cut.
The table tennis ball rotates at high speed, and the line is neither a straight line attack to suppress Kong Zhendong's backhand, nor a slash attack to mobilize Kong Zhendong's forehand.
It's actually a midline ball that doesn't slip.
Kong Zhendong began to decide whether to use a forehand or a backhand to catch the ball.
Table tennis with a weird external spin. After two hits, continue to float towards the far corner.
There was no way, Kong Zhendong could only quickly move his body sideways, and his forehand reached for the far corner, which was enough for the ball.
Kong Zhendong received this ball, and at the same time as pressing the plate, he quickly pushed flat and pushed the straight big angle, which was also the far corner of Ape Allen.
Kong Zhendong was also puzzled by Ape's choice.
His service position forced both men to one side of the table, only to hit the other side of the table.
It looks like a surprise effect, but if I push a straight line from afar, isn't it also a far corner that is more difficult for you to hook?
Ape's move quickly answered Kong Zhendong's guess.
It was also a quick cross-move from the backhand area to the far corner of the forehand area, but Ape Allen seemed to have practiced this familiar move for many years.
When the body reaches the forehand area, the sideways shooting action has been completed, and when the stepping stand is timed, the force is also transferred to the arm, and the sideways shooting is forced to pull the diagonal line.
Obviously a passive save in the forehand position, Ape Allen was sideways and vigorously pumped the big slash, punching Zhendong's backhand dead corner.
Kong Zhendong's forehand save action had just returned to the center at this time, and it was too late to save the ball with his backhand, and Ape Allen scored.
2:4, Ape Allen is still behind, but the strong momentum of this ball announces his return as king!
