Chapter 026: Join Forces to Fight!
After Kong Zhendong took Xu Yuanhao, he returned to the sidelines and did not sit down immediately. He was afraid that his loose muscles would not be able to get excited quickly.
It wasn't thrilling to win the game, but it was physically tough.
Guo Bing Gymnasium found mineral water and handed it to Kong Zhendong, and Director Sun immediately rushed over and changed it to salt water with concern.
In fact, in his last life, Kong Zhendong's best way to break the ball was to pull the arc ball with his backhand.
If the backhand can pull out a high-quality curved ball with a forward rush, it can deform the opponent's chipping ball.
It's a pity that such a profound skill has only been practiced for more than a month in this life.
You can't come up with a high-quality curveball, so you can only go back to the traditional method of chipping.
One side jerks, and the other side stubbornly cuts.
The final result was either a mistake in the volley, or too much power to attack the ball and slice the ball back out of bounds.
As soon as this kind of offensive and defensive battle begins, it is a multi-round fierce battle.
Kong Zhendong also has a disadvantage that he can't choose to retire and pull the ball, because that will expose his weakness of insufficient strength at this stage.
But after two games, Kong Zhendong knew that the ball he should withdraw from the table did not retreat, and the opponent must have realized his weakness.
In the current team competition system of international competitions, players from each side have to take turns competing with the other three, so it is no problem for Kong Zhendong to play three games.
Of course, in the international team competition, no country has ever arranged for its players to play three games in a row, which is tantamount to suicide to give away points.
It's a pity that now the score of Shichahai Sports School is 2:4, and he can't afford to lose a game, so Kong Zhendong can only continue to play.
The South Korean junior team finally sent the No. 1 main player, Park Ji-won.
Kong Zhendong's physical strength has been consumed by chipper Xu Yuanhao, and the weakness of not being able to retreat has been exposed, so he decided to change his style of play.
I am short and can't retire, so against Korean players, of course, I choose the playing style of Wang Tao, who has similar physical conditions and has a very high winning rate against South Korea.
The left-handed warrior Wang Tao is still the idol of countless table tennis lovers even decades later.
In fact, Wang Tao has never won any top men's singles world championship, but he always dares to fight in the team competition, acting as a needle for the sea, making the hearts of the motherland fans again and again finally turn into the joy of winning the championship!
Of course, it was Wang Tao in the mid-to-late nineties.
Wang Tao in the early nineties was a difficult flag bearer in the era of the bottom of the national table tennis valley, and in the face of European Seifer and Gaiting, he also lost more than he won.
Fans love Wang Tao, not only because of the countless accolades he has brought to the country, but also because of his proactive and aggressive style of play.
Wang Tao is short, but he chooses a strong forehand attack style in Taiwan, and never retreats from the stage.
Kong Zhendong is now changing his style of play and fighting against Park Ji-won in the stage.
Didn't I retire from the stage and be short and weak? Then I won't step back. No matter what ball you come, I will go straight to the table with my forehand and attack it.
If you can achieve it, you can lose points if you don't achieve it.
Even if Park Ji-won discovered Kong Zhendong's weakness of not being able to retreat, he still couldn't show it.
Sneaking up on the far long ball requires the first three boards to transition. But in the first three boards, Kong Zhendong had already taken the lead and brought the ball into his own rhythm.
This ball is the most intense game since today's exchange match.
Kong Zhendong will score points if he grabs the first serve, and he will score if he succeeds in grabbing the forehand table, Park Ji-won returns the ball with high quality, and if Kong Zhendong fails to pull up, he will lose points. And Park Ji-won insisted on playing a long ball and forced Kong Zhendong to retreat, once he played a crossing ball, Kong Zhendong would also lose points.
Therefore, in two cases, Kong Zhendong scored, and in two cases, Kong Zhendong lost points.
Kong Zhendong, whose physical fitness is close to overdraft, can only control the ball as much as possible, so that the proportion of the opponent's crossing ball is minimized, and the two kinds of balls scored are always a few more than the two kinds of balls that are conceded, which is enough to control the game.
Kong Zhendong has been trying to control this fragile balance, 10:9, 13:11, 17:14.
The closer the game came to an end, the more fierce Park Ji-won rushed out, as if caught in the net of a hunter, trying to break through the control!
The net of this control has been broken through Waldner, Liu Guopang has broken through, Kim Cheol-joo has broken through, Wang Dali has broken through, and Zhu Xianhe has broken through, but Park Ji-won, he can't break through after all!
Kong Zhendong led all the way with 21:17 but won the hard-fought game with great difficulty.
The overall score is 3:4. Kong Zhendong needs to put his left hand on Guo Bing's shoulder to be able to stand and rest freely.
Director Sun frowned and said, "You can't fight anymore, your body can't bear it, and if you play the fourth game, you will break the rules!" ”
Coach Wu of Shichahai Sports School nodded and said: "Yes, we are a sports school, the other party is the national junior team, we lose a 3:5, it is reasonable, exchanges, there are also losses and wins." ”
Kong Zhendong didn't speak, he was feeling his physical recovery.
He was also a little surprised by the persistence in his heart.
Didn't you decide to stay away from table tennis in this life? Isn't playing a hobby?
But in my heart, why do you want to win so much? Could it be that the champion blood in his heart has not cooled down?
Kong Zhendong said firmly: "I want to win!" Play five games and win! ”
Director Sun and Coach Wu were also infected by Kong Zhendong's perseverance, and at this time, a casual but confident voice came: "Change me to play, right?" I was invited by these people like saviors, and if I don't play, I won't have a chance! ”
Kong Zhendong and the others turned their heads to look at the sidelines, and the person who spoke was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, who was not tall, his eyes were particularly smart, he had the sharpness of an athlete, but his smile was very sunny.
It's him? Is this where life does not meet?
Kong Zhendong never expected that he would meet 14-year-old him here.
The boy was swept in by a group of sports school boys. Although these teenagers have been swept by him for a few rounds, they have a good relationship with each other.
When Coach Wu saw him, he also nodded and smiled.
Kong Zhendong smiled faintly and said: "You go on, if you win the game, it's the same!" ”
Afterwards, Ye Xiaoya once told Kong Zhendong that his smile at that moment was surprisingly warm and charming!
The South Korean junior team is discussing how to refuse if Kong Zhendong wants to play the fourth game. Suddenly, I heard the news that the Chinese side was willing to make substitutions to play the next game.
Park Ji-won and others looked at Kong Zhendong and the others, and found that the person who was doing the stretching warm-up was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old sunny boy who had not played.
With a big score of 3:4, the South Korean team cannot afford to lose, but Park Ji-won has just fought against Kong Zhendong, and his physical fitness is not in the best condition.
Considering that the Chinese side still dares to change people at this time, the strength of the player on the field is definitely not weak, and the No. 3 person, Jiang Nanguo, is obviously not sure.
In the end, South Korea still sent Seo Won-ho, the No. 2 person who took a break.
The sunshine boy juggled the ball and said with a smile: "Attack the ball!" It's easy, chua! ”
Before the words fell, the young man's waist ~ a twist of the soul, accompanied by a half-turn, when the young man's body returned to the right, the table tennis ball had already hit the table twice to Xu Yuanhao's backhand.
Xu Yuanhao instinctively slashed, and the table tennis ball flew directly!
Hanging, it's that easy!
