Seeing that Kong Zhendong was suppressed at the beginning of his strongest backhand fast play, Ye Ying in the stands hurriedly said: "Director Li, Wang Tao is not the strongest existence in the national team." Isn't there a weakness in his backhand raw rubber? ”

Li Xiaodong smiled bitterly: "If the world says whose weaknesses it is, it can win, then the world champion must be a critic." For example, Waldner and Persson, if you ask me to write an article analyzing the weaknesses of their skills and tactics, I can write thousands of words. Translated, table tennis players all over the world can see it. But they know the weaknesses of Waldner and Persson's style of play, can they win? Apparently not. ”

Coach Li Xiaodong brought the topic back to Wang Tao: "Wang Tao's style of play, advantages and disadvantages are very prominent. His advantage is that the ability of raw rubber to borrow strength is super strong, and the sense of attack in the near and middle stages is excellent. can be corresponding. Because it is a way of playing with strength, when you retreat to receive a long ball, the return power will be very poor, so the pace of retreat is also very poor. ”

Ye Ying flashed and said, "You mean that Wang Tao can't catch the long ball, and his ability to retreat from the stage is too poor?" ”

Li Xiaodong said: "This weakness is known to opponents all over the country. But under Wang Tao's perfect fast assault on the first three boards, who can hold up to the long ball behind? ”

Kong Zhendong is currently facing a similar situation. He and Wang Tao have been teammates for seven or eight years in their last life, and the two have always been the absolute main force in the national team competition. He has a stronger understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of Wang Tao's technical style of play than Li Xiaodong.

But what's the use?

Wang Tao's first three boards are treacherous and fast, and they have a strong active force. His raw rubber will be integrated to the point of subtlety with strength and force. I can't hold his first three boards at all, let alone suppress the long ball and retreat.

Wang Tao's five serves, using skillful backhand raw rubber, fast bounce and fast belt, scored four points.

Swapped to Kong Zhendong's serve, he hasn't found a way to defeat Wang Tao, but he has to eat one bite at a time.

His figure shrank, and then he made a ferocious one, and the moment he served quickly, he had already entered a state of full force.

Coach Li Xiaodong in the stands can be called the strongest strength training master in the 90s, and he seems to see something incredible from this serve.

This kind of powerful serve was used by Kong Zhendong in the previous game, but the subsequent connection was very different.

He has prepared the second board without any reduction.

Li Xiaodong said curiously: "This style of play is very different from the continuous force of Chen Weixing's backhand pick and forehand pull in the vibration group game, but how is this ball going towards the backhand?" Isn't that about to be solved? ”

Kong Zhendong's choice of ball path is indeed Wang Tao's backhand. Wang Tao's serve pressed his backhand, and now, he is going to favor Hushan Xing's strong backhand.

Wang Tao was very excited to see this backhandball, and he liked such an impulsive top bull from a young player.

By the time they found out that the top cow really couldn't win, it had already hit its head and was bleeding.

I play~

Well? This receiving position is very comfortable, but this ball borrowing is not ideal.

In the face of Wang Tao's fast bullet, Kong Zhendong continued to suppress with his backhand, forming a stalemate.

Wang Tao took a board again quickly, and found that it was more difficult to borrow power, and the ball speed was also slow, Kong Zhendong smashed with his strength and won this point.

Li Xiaodong was completely shocked: "What kind of power play is this?" It is not at the same level as the violent continuous attack in the previous group stage, and it is too advanced. ”

Ye Ying finally had a rare smugness: "Hehe, Director Li, do you also have a play style that you don't know?" I've seen this kind of play, right? Ye Ying showed a chicken thief expression who was about to ask me.

Li Xiaodong was an old man who was particularly persistent in strength and power skills, and he immediately asked Ye Ying the trick of this style of play.

Ye Ying said with a look of reminiscence: "The first time I saw this kind of play was when the capital team competed for a place in the team competition. At that time, Hong Lang used a new way of playing straight and glue with the help of bombardment. The rest of the players couldn't do anything. Kong Zhendong used this full-force play for the first time. At that time, Zhendong told me that he distinguished the borrowing and exerting power of various backhand plays, but he chose a completely active way of playing, so that the opponent could not borrow strength. ”

Kong Zhendong served several times in a row at this time, and he did use it once when he faced Hong Lang at the beginning, drawing on Fan Zhendong's full-power zero-borrowing backhand style in later generations.

After entering Kong Zhendong's leading era of full-power play, Wang Tao's proud backhand fast bullet became a shortcoming because he couldn't borrow his strength.

By the time Wang Tao served again, the score of the two sides had come to five draws.

Wang Tao thought that in his own service game, he took the initiative, and Kong Zhendong might not be so easy to rush.

However, Kong Zhendong was unreasonable and began to pull close to the table from the service link, and then continued to exert force.

In this way, after the two each experienced a service game, Kong Zhendong led 12:8.

The momentum of the game has tilted towards Kong Zhendong, and he is ready to win the first game in one go, but Wang Tao seeks to change again after serving this time.

He didn't send a backhand ball, but directly sent a forehand and sent Kong Zhendong to take the ball?

Kong Zhendong did not hesitate and pulled his forehand quickly.

Wang Tao fiercely replied with a forehand back.

Super fast, tricky balls, direct scoring.

Kong Zhendong was shocked.

Wang Tao has always chosen to play fast and fast, and almost forgot. His forehand arc is not inferior to that of the Europeans.

Li Xiaodong in the stands said with a smile: "Zhendong's new style of play is indeed epoch-making, but his power action still needs to start time, if it is a backhand attack, Wang Tao can't borrow strength, the ball speed is slow, this style of play can be majestic." But everyone forgets that Wang Tao is not only known as the king of raw rubber, but also known as the first hard board in China! ”

Ye Ying was shocked: "The first hard board? Haven't heard of it? ”

Li Xiaodong pointed to Wang Tao, who continuously changed the line and pulled the ball with his forehand on the court, and said: "The weirdness of Wang Tao is that he uses the softest anti-raw rubber on the opposite side, but he chooses the hardest bottom plate. Although the backhand cannot create rotation, the forehand is equipped with a special Double Happiness hard reverse glue, and the curved ball pulled out by the forehand rotates weirdly and changeably. His forehand and backhand are also in line with the highest meaning of turning ~ not turning. ”

Kong Zhendong's backhand full-force play has suppressed Wang Tao's raw rubber and fast play. Just as he judged before the game. Wang Tao is a playful style of play that relies on the changeable path of the ball and fights fiercely to win. The reason why the rough fast bullet suppression backhand play was used in the opening game was only because Kong Zhendong was not taken seriously.

Now Kong Zhendong suppressed his backhand and finally forced out his weird and changeable forehand.

Wang Tao's forehand raid with the last few key points finally turned the score around and won the first game 21-18 with difficulty.

At this time, the audience came back to their senses, Kong Zhendong has maintained nine 2:0 undefeated golden bodies in addition to nine consecutive wins, and today he faced Wang Tao and lost the first game of the national championship.
