At four o'clock in the afternoon, the semi-finals of the capital team against the Lingnan team will start, and at half past three, the two sides of the game submitted the list of the first three games to the organizing committee.

Capital team: the first singles Kong Zhendong, the second singles Zhang Lei, and the third singles Xiong Ke.

Lingnan team: the first singles Lin Gangqiang, the second singles Li Jing, and the third singles Ma Lin.

Because the rules of the lineup for the last two games are determined by the laggard, the one-two-three singles is only a nominal existence, and there are many variations of who plays two games.

staring at this list, I didn't see Liu Guokun's name, and I was a little regretful and relieved.

Liu Guokun is a super big heart with strong tenacity, and he still remembers that he was regarded as an 'anti-Korean hero' and left a table tennis legend of marrying Liu Guokun when he married.

If he is entangled by such a tough opponent, Kong Zhendong has no certainty of victory.

He glanced at the short player opposite him who was warming up. Li Jing, a small man who has a straight board impact and moves quite quickly. It seems that in the tactics of the Lingnan team, they would rather choose Li Jing's rush than give up Liu Guokun's stability, and their posture is very low!

Coach Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "The psychological requirements for playing the first singles are more difficult, and we are relieved that you take the lead." ”

From the first round of the group stage as a substitute, to the third singles in the second round, to the stable second singles in the following rounds, he is now finally sitting in the first singles position.

This experience is more about the improvement of technology than the experience of mentality.

The first singles is not only the first technique, but also the most pioneering hard work and the most stable mentality to score points. The highest level of hard work and stability is the first qualified singles.

Even if it is the national table tennis of later generations, only the champion Long can sit firmly in the first singles.

Kong Zhendong blew on the racket, while doing the leg press exercise of the lower body, and at the same time warmed up with the racket.

At four o'clock, Kong Zhendong and Lin Gangqiang began to quickly pull each other to adapt to the new ball.

On the left side of the viewing seat, Mi Xingbang sat in the center, and Yin Xiao and Wu Jingping sat on either side of him.

Seeing Kong Zhendong staring at his opponent intently, leaning forward, ready to receive the serve, Mi Xingbang smiled and said to Yin Xiao: "Director Yin, your hard work this year has not been in vain!" Zhendong was recruited into the national team last year because of his outstanding potential, no one would have thought that in one year, he would grow so fast! ”

Yin Xiao said modestly: "What I do is basic work, mainly because Zhendong has a good understanding, whether it is his playing style or his mind, he is very good at guiding Mi back then!" ”

Mi Xingbang just smiled and shook his head.

Yin Xiao is not a sloppy person. Mi Xingbang was known for his brains and love of study in the national team, and his many pioneering attempts in horizontal board technology were rich in the history of Chinese table tennis.

Kong Zhendong does not speak much in training, but he has a high level of understanding, often has pioneering ideas and advanced tactical play, his forehand is very similar to Mi Xingbang, and his backhand is stronger with arc ball ability.

Mi Xingbang undoubtedly admired Kong Zhendong, who he specially recruited last year, and faintly saw the shadow of his youth. However, appreciation is often ranked after liking, and not every middle-aged person likes his younger self.

Mi Xingbang prefers a straight board fast attack and a flexible mind Liu Guobang. This kid is very different from him in terms of play, but the word fate is so wonderful.

Kong Zhendong didn't bother to pay attention to whether the coaching staff on the sidelines was discussing himself, and he stared closely at Lin Gangqiang's serve preparation.

Lin Gangqiang's foreign performance is miserable, but in domestic competitions, no one dares to underestimate his unique style of play.

Kong Zhendong knows that Brother Lin on the other side is a legend from his playing style to his life.

If Kong Zhendong and Mi Xingbang are just alike, then Lin Gangqiang is the authentic inheritor of Mi Xingbang's horizontal board play.

Exactly the same forehand anti-rubber, backhand anti-arc rubber, the same rotation board to switch offense and defense, turn and not turn to raid the opponent.

In addition to Lin Gangqiang being a winner in life on the table tennis court, he is also a powerful figure in life.

He has always been in the top ten positions in the national table tennis men's team, but he married the first big demon king of Chinese women's table tennis, Sister Yalin.

Being able to marry the proudest national flower of the national table tennis women's team under the nose of Mi Xingbang, who tortured the love in the team, Kong Zhendong added infinite points to the depth of his thoughts.

Of course, Sister Yalin is not the most beautiful existence in women's table tennis, but she is definitely the most difficult existence to marry.

has the most difficult style of play to imitate and inherit, and can marry the unattainable goddess of the stars and the moon, such an opponent, Kong Zhendong stared at it for a second and didn't dare to blink.

Lin Gangqiang threw the ball with his right hand, his body rotated to the left, and the racket quickly spun and quickly diagonally billed the ball.

Lin Gangqiang not only has the same playing style as Mi Xingbang, but he is also exactly the same left-handed general, what a one-in-a-million existence?

Because Lin Gangqiang holds the shot with his left hand, his forehand can easily suppress Kong Zhendong's backhand. So the serve is directly pressed on the backhand.

Kong Zhendong grabbed a straight line with his backhand.

Lin Gangqiang is tall, he stands directly in the center, his body rotates right, his right leg straddles forward, and his left hand swings from right to left, sweeping the racket.

Kong Zhendong's backhand arc ball was deeply trapped in Lin Gangqiang's anti-arc rubber, and the rotation was extremely attenuated.

Lin Gangqiang used a backhand quick bullet, but Kong Zhendong's extreme rotation was completely non-rotating by him.

Lin Gangqiang returned the ball without spinning, but the power was big enough, and after sacrificing the spin, all the power was added to the speed.

There is no rotation, but it is as fast as a bullet, and it assaults Kong Zhendong's forehand.

Kong Zhendong himself is a master of fast playing on the horizontal board, he can play fast to change the line and change the rhythm, but he can play his super rotating arc ball without turning at all?

Kong Zhendong's forehand strain is insufficient, so he can only bring a board quickly.

Lin Gangqiang quickly turned sideways, and his forehand exploded with a big slash, hitting Kong Zhendong's backhand.

The return ball just now did not turn, but this time the forehand backhand was extremely topspin, Kong Zhendong ran quickly, and the backhand barely received the ball, but unfortunately it was out of bounds.

Wu Jingping said beside Mi Xingbang: "The comprehension of strength and non-rotation has really reached a very high level. In foreign competitions, if the style of play is tough and tough, the future must be unlimited! ”

This goal at the beginning of the game is the epitome of the first ten goals of the whole game.

Kong Zhendong used the "turn ~ no turn" serving method in the previous game, but it was only the power of a board. Lin Gangqiang is now using the anti-arc rubber to interpret the change of turning and not turning to the extreme, and the sense of surprise of this change can also strive for the initiative in the service link, Kong Zhendong tried his best, and only grabbed two points in his own service round.

Ten balls later, Kong Zhendong fell behind 3:7 and entered Lin Gangqiang's five serves again.

Yin Xiao sighed: "In the first few games, the team was too busy with work, so I didn't come to see it, and I saw the newspaper and stepped Zhendong into the sky. Looking at it today, in the face of a strong style of play, his adaptation means are still not enough! ”

Wu Jingping explained: "After all, it is Coach Mi's masterpiece, and there is no shame in losing." ”

Mi Xingbang said: "This set of playing methods can basically be cracked by the strong players of this generation in Europe, but don't pull too high!" I wish this kid would make my eyes shine. ”
