Chapter 251: A Fierce Little Man
Bengerson's requirements for newcomer Rasitz are very simple, impact a little harder, play longer, try to expose Orlovsky's technical style of play, and consume his physical energy.
It's a pity that not every youngster is a game-type player who can seize opportunities, and Rasitz can't play at his usual level in the face of Orlovsky, let alone complete the task.
In a clean-cut 2-0 win, Orlovski handed over the field to Pansky, who returned to the bench and prepared for a win in the fourth game.
Kong Zhendong walked onto the court and pulled against Pansky to get used to the new ball.
This was the first heavyweight bout since the New Year's offseason, and Kong Zhendong consciously quickened the plucking rhythm to get himself into the best shape faster.
Ping! Swish! Ping! Swish!
After Kong Zhendong cooperates with the footsteps, he can catch the ball freely.
He's so much faster than I'm trying to pick up the pace?
Kong Zhendong couldn't help but look at the small blond middle-aged man on the opposite side of the table.
Just looking at his physical fitness, Kong Zhendong couldn't see that a guy like Pansky, who was less than 1.6 meters tall and very thin, would be a table tennis master.
China also has many famous players around 1.6 meters, such as Wang Tao. Liu Guobang, Ma Lin and other world champions are only known as 1.7 meters.
However, although the little people in China are short, their bodies and lower plates are as strong as explosions.
Pansky was different, short and thin at the same time.
Such an opponent, hit him with a heavy board!
After the New Year, Kong Zhendong was a year older, and in the past few months of strength training, his physical development has also reached the critical point where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
So much so that in the face of the world's top masters, he would think of using a heavy board to kill the opponent when he always avoided heavy boards.
Pansky started with five goals. Already short, he pressed even lower, and then barely prepared his forehand to cover the serve.
The spin is average, but the ball is fast.
Kong Zhendong grabbed the stage directly with his forehand, ready to pick and fight.
Suffered! As soon as the racket touched the ball, Kong Zhendong immediately felt that something was wrong.
Why is this thin little body so powerful?
Kong Zhendong misjudged the strength, the arc of the ball could not be suppressed, and the table tennis ball did not go out of bounds, but it obviously rose to the top.
Pansky started in an instant, and the racket lightning hit the ball, and he scored in a straight line.
Kong Zhendong was still pondering the power skills of the ball just now, but Pansky instantly sent a second ball.
Kong Zhendong hurriedly retreated, exchanging space for time.
Kong Zhendong couldn't complain that he wasn't ready. There is almost no time for the service side to prepare!
Pansky's unprepared fast serve still made Kong Zhendong very passive.
Once he chooses to retire, with Pansky's flexible batting tactics, he can use the tactics he used to abuse Schulbeck in the last game, and abuse him a thousand times.
Pansky served five serves, and Kong Zhendong only scored one point.
Entering his own service round, Kong Zhendong exploded on the first ball.
The serve is too passive, and he is led by the opponent's speed, and now that it is his own service round, Kong Zhendong is working on every board.
Pansky was very passive in receiving the ball as he expected, but Kong Zhendong obviously felt that the power of the opponent's return was not weak, and there was a change in the rhythm of strength and weakness, which was erratic and difficult to understand.
Puzzled? Just don't think about it!
Kong Zhendong continued to use the full-force play style of integrating Fan Zhendong, Gaiting, and Glinka, and did not relax in taking the initiative to attack.
Kong Zhendong's all-out attack grabbed three points in the service round.
4:6 into the Pansky service round, both sides acceptable, but also try to change the situation.
After five balls in this round of serve, although Kong Zhendong only scored two points and was at a disadvantage, he had a new understanding of Pansky's power method.
The essence of Pansky's style of play is really just a fast word, and the absolute strength is still a weak chicken.
However, people who blindly look at the qualities such as speed and strength of table tennis will never understand the essence of it.
A player with a lot of power but slow speed, and a player who is extremely fast but lacks power, are often false propositions.
These fighters are the result of not using their strength and speed to the extreme.
No one has ever said that Wang Dali's playing speed is outstanding, but his forehand is violent arcing, and the speed of the ball is of course faster than that of ordinary power provincial team masters.
The reason why Wang Dali's forehand violent arc is unrivaled is not only that the power of destruction is unmatched, but also the extreme speed, so that the opponent has no time to react, and the ball is knocked away.
Therefore, in Wang Dali's body, the ultimate power can produce the ultimate speed.
Pansky, on the other hand, is an outstanding representative of extreme speed producing extreme power.
The world's martial arts, for fast and unbreakable! The speed here is not the speed of the breeze. It's the extreme penetration that is generated quickly, which is difficult to resist.
Kong Zhendong's full-force play can ensure the forehand and backhand, and the near and far platforms have no dead ends to ensure the crazy output of absolute power.
Although Pansky is short and lacks absolute strength, his extreme speed can condense his strength at one point and obtain absolute penetration.
Pansky's speed gives the table tennis ball the power of thorns, and after condensing the power at one point, compared to Kong Zhendong's all-round strength, it is not inferior at all.
Although Kong Zhendong saw through Pansky's novel method of exerting force, he could not find a way to crack it for the time being.
In his own service round, Kong Zhendong still dominated and took the lead, and today he paid special attention to the coordination between Gaiting's forehand fast belt and Glinka's backhand burst to ensure the continuity of his attack.
After winning three points in the service round, he ended the first half of the game with a score of 9:11.
Victoria in the stands was already sweating with her palms. Since Kong Zhendong defeated Ape Allen and Persson, Victoria has not been so worried about him.
Pansky is not like Kong Zhendong's previous opponents, he has a comprehensive technique, and he only has one move fast. But it's so fast, when it reaches the limit, Kong Zhendong is powerless to crack it.
In the case of falling behind in the first half of the game, if Kong Zhendong can't counterattack in this game, it is almost destined to lose the first game.
Bengerson asked Sith Pando: "Sith, if you were to fight against Pansky, how would you fight at this time?" ”
Sith Penn pondered: "The first half of the game was too passive, if it were me, I would choose to receive the serve and attack at the first time, although I haven't found the loophole in Pansky's style of play, but I must raise the morale first." ”
Bengersen nodded, before cracking the tactics, first using the attack tactics to complicate the situation, and then seeking opportunities, this is not a winning plan.
Pansky also seems to be avoiding this situation, serving a backhand short ball in the table, especially close to the net, apparently to prevent Kong Zhendong from receiving the serve and rushing.
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Kong Zhendong did not rush forward and attack on the stage as expected by the fans, but moved the racket slowly almost half a beat slower.
Madeleine was also anxious: "Sister, did Zhendong have too much fun during the New Year?" This ball is obviously not in good shape, the reaction is slow, and I am obviously distracted~"
Sir Edward looked back in confusion and said, "What are you two crazy girls playing with him on New Year?" How can you be distracted? ”
Victoria was blushed by her uncle's misunderstanding and didn't reply, just staring at the game.
Kong Zhendong is not distracted, nor is he missing the ball, but can delay the time of the shot.
After the table tennis ball rebounded to the highest point and began to fall, Kong Zhendong chose to hit the ball.
At the same time, because the trajectory of the table tennis ball has reached the long ball area, he can easily go back to the long table directly to cross the ball.
Kong Zhendong connected Pansky's magical power attack method into a kind of magic weapon.
Then each divine weapon has its own attack range.
As the saying goes, 'at the end of the strong crossbow, you can't enter Lu Min'. Kong Zhendong delayed the timing of the shot, in order to remove part of the strength of Pansky's stab, and at the same time hit the ball to the far platform, forcing Pansky to retreat.
Pansky has nimble feet and is not afraid to step back and move. But he soon found that with his height and power style, once he retreated, the impact of the return ball was sharply reduced.
Forcing Pensky to retreat, Kong Zhendong was able to attack on the near stage, and Pansky's return ball exceeded the best kill range and became unthreatening.
In this receiving round, Kong Zhendong used the way of forcing the retreat to grab four points, overtaking the score in one fell swoop and reversing the decline.
With Pansky's experience, he was actually overtaken by his opponent in the service round, and his mind inevitably fluctuated.
Once Kong Zhendong attacked, it was definitely a serial tactic, and the next service wheel and receiving wheel continued to suck the long ball and press Pensky far away, forcing Pensky to retreat, and then scoring consecutive volleys.
Kong Zhendong firmly grasped the suppression power and won the first game 21:17.
During the break, Orlovsky patiently discussed tactics with Pansky, and finally summarized the tactics of Kong Zhendong forcing him to retreat in the first game and weakening the lethality of the ball.
There are trade-offs and trade-offs, and short hits are long.
In the second game, Pansky started with five goals.
In the receiving round, Kong Zhendong still implemented the forced retirement tactic that was very effective in the previous game.
But in this game, Pansky was firmly fixed there, desperately holding the near table, even if the far billiards could not be saved, and he would never retreat from the stage if he lost points.
This is a trade-off, and once Pansky's whirlwind short legs run away in the near platform, it is enough to form a volley net to intercept 80% of Kong Zhendong's far billiards, as for those that can't be blocked, give up directly!
In this way, Kong Zhendong counterattacked five balls, Pansky gave up one ball, and the remaining four balls were forced back to the short ball in the table, and his assassinating power ball hit Kong Zhendong's long ball with a short ball and won three points.
Kong Zhendong's tactics of winning the game in the first game were broken by five goals at the beginning of the second game, which is where the fierce fight and adaptation of the table tennis Champions League lies.
The receiving wheel was at a disadvantage, Kong Zhendong was relatively conservative in his own service round, playing ball control tactics, and Pansky continued to rush quickly with short balls in the table, trying to break the net controlled by Kong Zhendong.
After a fight, Kong Zhendong won three points in his own service wheel with difficulty, and the two sides exchanged serve rights 5:5.
Kong Zhendong gasped slightly, although it was a draw, but these ten balls were more tired than the first game and a half, and if he continued to play like this, even if he won the second game, he would not have the physical strength to cope with the next game~
