Li Xiaodong said patiently: "The backhand horizontal play of ordinary athletes is still an old-school style of play, using the power of the elbow and wrist to imitate the horizontal board hitting. However, according to ergonomics, your straight grip backhand is awkward, and the general horizontal shot is used to save the ball under extreme passivity. However, Liu Guobang used the change of his fingers, which made his backhand horizontal hit have all kinds of strange power and attack, raising the straight horizontal hit to a whole new level. ”

Kong Zhendong tried a few balls, and he was surprised to find that Liu Guobang's backhand horizontal hitting skills grew faster than in his previous life, of course he didn't know that it was the result of Liu Guobang's hard practice after he defeated Liu Guobang the year before last.

Although he has been paired with Wang Yajun, the pinnacle of straight and horizontal play, for many years. But Liu Pang's horizontal fight and Wang Yajun's are actually completely different systems.

Wang Yajun emphasized the backhand and counteroffensive. Liu Pang emphasized the change of the backhand and the surprise attack.

Liu Fat's backhand is significantly inferior in power. But now in the era of small balls, his fingers are flexible and powerful, and he actually hits the weakest backhand of the straight board.

In the entire second game, with the outbreak of Liu Guobang's backhand, Kong Zhendong, who originally had the advantage of his backhand, was immediately reversed and lost this game 16:21.

At the end of the second game, it was in stark contrast to the increasingly fierce fan shouts at the game scene, and the preparation seats of both teams were silent.

Li Muhua and the coach of the People's Liberation Army felt that these two boys who did not play cards according to common sense were really difficult to arrange targeted tactics.

Didn't Li Muhua's tactics of resolutely pressing the backhand capsize in the second game?

It is natural that the fans at the scene are getting more and more excited, and in the past, the PLA was a major national championship, but this year it actually played five decisive games, and the fifth game went to the deciding set.

What excites the fans even more is that in the deciding set, two young players full of vitality and tactical thinking let them enjoy new technologies and new scenes in an endless stream, and at the same time, they have a longing for the future of Chinese table tennis.

Chinese table tennis has been suppressed by Europe and South Korea for four years, how long has it been since there has been a player who is looking forward to the future?

Ye Ying looked at Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang, who were wiping their sweat, and asked: "Director Li, Liu Guobang will play the decisive game after playing the third game and take a break, will he have physical fitness problems like Ma Lin in the semifinals?" ”

Li Xiaodong shook his head and said: "Liu Guobang belongs to a variant style of play, and his running and forehand smashing are far less than Marin's, so his physical consumption is not much. And don't look at Liu Guobang's sturdy, his figure is quite well-proportioned, which is very suitable for reserving physical fitness. In the third game, the two should still play to their strengths and limit their opponents' strengths. ”

At the start of the third game, Liu Guobang started with five goals, he knew that he was only 21 points away from the undefeated glory of guarding the People's Liberation Army and his first championship championship.

Kong Zhendong's body moved horizontally, obviously he had good backhand picking and fast rebound skills, but he still forced himself to use his forehand to assault the ball.

Why? Just for that unspeakable glimmer of initiative.

That line of initiative made himself one step closer to the first team championship.

Kong Zhendong does not have such a strong obsession with defeating Liu Guobang, but he has a far more obsession with the championship than he did in his previous life.

It is the gift of fate to relive a life, to challenge you stronger with a stronger me.

He's not just going to beat Liu Guobang.

This is not the era when the legendary provincial team masters can beat the world. In fact, this era has never existed.

Even if he wins ten in a row, is he enough to challenge Roskoff, Primoratz, and Liu Nankui?

Will he be good enough to challenge Waldner, Persson, and Geiting?

In this era, Li Jing, Daniel Zhang, and Zhang Lei have all won the championship, but who can win a trace of respect on the international stage?

And to challenge the world madman, the domestic champion, is the only way. I'm not sure if I can defeat Liu Guobang, who has reached the peak of his skills and tactics in three years or five years, but today, he must overcome the hurdle.

In the audience's expectation of "champion, champion", Kong Zhendong made a direct force on the fourth board, and his forehand slammed into a straight line.

Liu Guobang's backhand cross shot is indeed varied, and there are some magic balls that he can't deal with.

In this case, the rhythm is broken.

Anyway, it's the last game, don't think about physical strength, then use full force to play, and hit to the end!

Zhang Xilin frowned slightly and said, "Kong Zhendong is still too young. The absolute power is too weak. Always play this kind of all-power play, and injuries are not far away. ”

Yin Xiao nodded and said: "This game is still too persistent, let him let go and fight for this championship." After the match, I'll put some limits on his technical play. Until there is a leap in basic speed, strength, and flexibility, this style of play will not be used by him. ”

Kong Zhendong is four and a half years younger than Liu Guobang, and there is a qualitative difference in the absolute strength of the two. Kong Zhendong combined with the strong power skills of the 21st century, and he can only flatten the shortcomings.

However, Liu Guobang also knows his own suffering. Kong Zhendong is a horizontal board holding type of play. After adding a strong force, it is nothing more than a defensive stalemate, which escalates into a violent stalemate.

However, Liu Guobang has a strange and technical advantage, although his absolute strength is not weak, but once he fights with Kong Zhendong, his own changes and spirituality will be completely destroyed.

So in the frantic shouts of the audience, I saw an alternative third game of chaos. The younger Kong Zhendong used full force, and the duel power was more superior, but Liu Guobang, who blindly played dexterous ball.

The score came to 20:19, Kong Zhendong led by one point, and there was one serve left.

Kong Zhendong is just one point away from his first National Championship title.

And Liu Guobang, as long as he grabs this point and then enters his strongest service round, the situation will be reversed, and he will be closer to the championship.

The audience shouted for the whole time, but it was inexplicably quiet at this time. They also felt the majestic pressure of a ball to determine life and death.

Kong Zhendong lowered his center of gravity and leaned forward, this is the posture of receiving the serve to attack, but he has already posed when he is ready to serve, the intention is obvious, after the serve, the third board, will definitely attack!

At the moment of Kong Zhendong's serve, the body pressed down sharply, bringing a very strong forward momentum to table tennis.

Running the ball pressed Liu Guo's backhand.

Seeing that Kong Zhendong was ready to rush to the stage, Liu Guobang changed his racket type and suddenly rubbed a long ball.

Kong Zhendong seemed to have expected it, and his forward body quickly retreated, and he grabbed the stage to quickly change the line in the middle platform.

Liu Guobang quickly returned to his forehand, although he didn't have time to exert his strength to the limit, but he still used a strong waist force to pull the ball back and a halfway.

Kong Zhendong did not pull back, and once again quickly played the line change Liu Guobang's backhand, because the line was long, Liu Guobang's speed was fast, and he did not play a sense of surprise.

Liu Guobang quickly pushed the middle with a backhand, and at the same time did a good job of restoration, waiting for Kong Zhendong to end the point with a violent forehand smash after playing fast again.

Kong Zhendong is indeed leaning back at this time, backshooting forward and stretching forward.

But at the moment when Liu Guo's ball returned, he stepped forward with his left foot, and his backward body turned into a sideways body to the right.

The grip hand type also spun sharply.

The magical pace, the magical wrist flexibility, and the preparation posture of the backhand bounce turned sideways in an instant.

Kong Zhendong made a sideways forehand quick pump, the ball hit Liu Guobang's forehand triangle and flew out of the court quickly laterally, waiting for Liu Guobang, who was waiting to catch the backhand fast play, to catch up with the forehand position in time, but could not receive this high-speed externally rotated table tennis.

At 21:19, Kong Zhendong put the racket on the table tennis table and roared and clenched his hands into fists.

Zhang Lei, Xiong Ke, and Chen Zhibing of the capital team all excitedly climbed over the fence and entered the field.

Xiong Ke and Chen Zhibing hugged one of Kong Zhendong's thighs and carried him on their shoulders.

They went through hardships and finally regained the first national team championship for the capital team after Zhuang Shen's retirement.

Each of us may not be the strongest, but we are the strongest team!
