Yin Xiao said excitedly: "Old Wu, what do you think?" This young man's footwork is really beautiful, although it can't be said to be smooth, but it is perfectly integrated with the power advantage of his entire body! Especially the small jump in front of the side, the strength is well transmitted to the waist, which is really smart! ”

As soon as Yin Xiao was excited, Wu Jingping was depressed, the better this kid's footsteps are, isn't it better to set off Lu Ning's footsteps?

As a Japanese player, footsteps are the lifeline!

Why can't Wang Yajun win against Liu Chengmin in 04?

Because his whole person is very tight and can't let go, the smart straight board has become a standing pile play. The steps were inflexible, and he was rushed up by the other party, and he wanted to continue to press the backhand, but of course he couldn't press it.

The match between Kong Zhendong and Lu Ning is actually very similar to the game more than ten years later.

Kong Zhendong used his feet and ball control to suppress the backhand and win. If he couldn't hold it down, Lu Ning rushed up with a forehand, and Lu Ning won.

In the second game, Kong Zhendong relied on more perfect footwork and ball control, and grabbed points continuously with his backhand, bringing the game to a 1:1 draw.

In the third game, it was Lu Ning's turn to serve first.

Wu Jingping said: "These serves are very critical, if Lu Ning can still lead by a big score like in the first game, even if Kong Zhendong controls the ball and plays, Lu Ning will win." ”

Yin Xiao nodded and said, "It depends on whether Kong Zhendong finds a way to deal with Lu Ning's forehand advantage." ”

Lu Ningfa slashed the forehand and half-billiards to attack Kong Zhendong's forehand.

Kong Zhendong's response method is to step back with his left foot, rush forward with his right foot, and at the same time drive his right arm to quickly stretch forward, and directly take the first step to receive the serve and rush.

That's right, in response to Lu Ning's forehand advantage, you can't be beaten passively, and your side rushes first.

Lu Ning is used to playing offensive balls, I don't explode at you, you will burn high incense, and someone else will rush you first?

Another weakness of the Japanese straight juniper is exposed, if you take the initiative to exert force, the single juniper has a bonus effect, but the opponent's fast rushing, the explosive characteristics of the single juniper, will affect the player's control of the arc.

Although Lu Ning's return ball is still very powerful, and even greater because of the rebound, the spin and arc have not been enhanced.

The initiative is in the hands of Kong Zhendong, and Kong Zhendong can calmly play with the ball.

Wu Jingping sighed: "The step just now is really beautiful, and it can be quickly restored after the rush, and immediately leave full preparation time for the next board to take the initiative to attack." What's more valuable is the brain. ”

Yin Xiao nodded and said, "Hehe, I'm also convinced!" I do have ideas, and looking at his style of play, it is not a gambling style of play. The whole tactical style of play is steady. But how can you think of the way to play in the face of a forehand rushing opponent and rushing first? ”

Once Lu Ning's opening five serves were all taken by Kong Zhendong's rush and brought into the rhythm of ball control and scheduling, Lu Ning was at a disadvantage.

All of Lu Ning's achievements were achieved with Wang Tao, the left-handed horizontal board. Why? Just because his right hand is straight, the huge hole in the backhand position cannot be repaired, and an impact fierce man must be defended to make up for this shortcoming.

Once in the singles match, he is crushed by the opponent to play with a backhand, and if the forehand can't rush up, even if Kong Zhendong's world ranking is much lower than Lu Ning, Lu Ning will have to lose.

In the end, Kong Zhendong defeated the national player Lu Ning with a big score of 2:1 and advanced to the final of the Table Tennis Association Cup after losing a game first!

At the moment when Kong Zhendong won the last ball, he couldn't help but clench his left hand high into a fist and roar angrily.

After all, in the face of the Japanese direct explosion, it is too difficult to win.

Zheng Zhou An and other teammates of the capital team, Guo Bing and other friends, all turned into the venue and hugged Kong Zhendong tightly.

Countless films and flashes freeze this moment firmly!

Even if Kong Zhendong was determined to win the championship in the national live broadcast before the game, the people of the whole country just watched it as a pleasure.

As Kong Zhendong counterattacked step by step, everyone's expectations for him became higher and higher, but no one predicted that he would enter the finals.

At the end of each game of Kong Zhendong, many table tennis experts and table tennis celebrities will analyze Kong Zhendong's tactical play and come to the conclusion that the on-the-spot skills and tactics are excellent, but there are shortcomings in hard power.

In fact, the words of experts are not all wrong. Kong Zhendong used all his advantages in every game, made up for his shortcomings, and ended the battle by exploiting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses. It's just that every time he fights, he can always show a new tactical ability to restrain the opponent, which is a slap in the face of the expert.

These experts were right in analyzing Kong Zhendong in yesterday's competition, but Kong Zhendong always had new skills and growth to make up for the shortcomings in the next day's competition, and this speed is what other young athletes need to improve in a few months.

No matter how everyone thinks of Kong Zhendong's hard power, he has been a tough battle all the way, and he has killed representatives of various playing styles.

Perhaps Capital TV's interview with Xi Muen, who has retired as the head coach of national table tennis, is most in line with the mainstream views of celebrities.

The characteristic of the Chinese system is that only those who retreat dare to tell the truth. When the reporter asked Xi Muen, who was watching the game, how to evaluate the advantages of Kong Zhendong and Lu Ning's playing style and on-the-spot performance, Xi Muen said: "You asked me to evaluate Kong Zhendong's technical expertise? How to say it, he is not good at serving, not good at the first three boards, not good at strong forehand attacks, and not particularly strong at scoring directly on his backhand, but he can win! You said Lu Ning, he is particularly threatening on the serve, the impact of the first three boards is particularly strong, and the forehand burst scoring ability is strong! But his strength just can't be played! This is the characteristic of Kong Zhendong's style of play. It seems that there is no particularly outstanding technology, but in fact, there are no weaknesses and shortcomings, and at the same time, the strongest ability is to use the brain, with targeted tactical combinations, so that the opponent's advantages can not be played, useless, this is his specialty. ”

Coach Xi Muen's words changed sharply, just like all the retired old cadres like to say: "Kong Zhendong is only eleven years old, and he still has great potential." Once he is in the national team, the coaching staff of the current national team will have to figure out how to build him. If you train well, you will be a flag bearer of all-round play! If it is not polished well, everything will become loose and mediocre, and this steel will be wasted! ”

When this remark came to the national team office, Yin Xiao was reporting to head coach Mi Xingbang, hoping to recruit Kong Zhendong to enter the national team directly and take him by himself.

This plan was opposed by other coaches. Although the selection document says that the top eight in the Table Tennis Association Cup have priority selection qualifications under the same conditions, the premise is that under the same conditions.

Kong Zhendong's age is not qualified.

The opinion of other coaches is to recruit Kong Zhendong into the national junior team for a few years, after all, there is no precedent for entering the national first team from the provincial team at the age of eleven.

But these coaches also understand that Kong Zhendong is already an official member of the capital team, if it is only the national youth team recruiting, the capital team can be left alone, they can train themselves for a few years, and create a mature Kong Zhendong directly sent to the national first team, so that the credit and political achievements of training are in the capital team.
