Chapter 036: Champion Battle!
The national table tennis was eliminated by the Northern Dynasty 1:5 and missed the final.
Such a report appeared in the newspapers, and the north and south of the country suddenly turned upside down.
This is the second worst record of the national football team since last year.
The worst record in history is that at the World Table Tennis Championships in Dortmund last year, the Chinese team was historically shaved 5:0 by the Swedish team.
However, it also depends on the lineup of the Swedish team: Apeylen who is still young, Waldner and Persson who are in their prime.
The squad also includes European champion-level Linde and Karlsson.
In this line-up, Waldner is eligible to compete for the first place in table tennis history, Persson can compete for the top five table tennis players of the 20th century, and Apeylen was at least a top 10 in the world at his peak.
In the face of such a lineup, the Chinese team lost completely out of temper.
However, the Chinese team, which had high hopes of winning the gold medal in the Asian Games, was easily defeated by the North Korea in the semifinals, and only scored a pitiful point, which was emotionally unacceptable to the Chinese people.
We know that national table tennis has declined, but we don't know that it is so fragile?
In the voice of the people completely breaking up the national team and coming back, all the coaching staff and athletes of the national table tennis team rectified behind closed doors and summed up lessons and lessons.
There is no ban on the national junior team, Liu Guobang and several other young team members sat in the audience, and watched the men's team final with Kong Zhendong and Ye Xiaoya, who were about to exchange with the Asian Games champion.
The North Korean team eliminated the national table tennis in a fierce battle, but the biggest beneficiary was the South Korean team that was the first to enter the finals and watched the whole game.
The Northern Dynasty team was able to defeat the Chinese team so easily, and the strange role of Cui Jinshu and Jin Chenxi was very obvious.
Although the Chinese team was defeated, the profound basic skills of Cheng Longcan, Ma Wenhua and others also forced out the overall strength of the Northern Dynasty team.
The South Korean team watched the whole game, recorded it, studied it all night, and sent a targeted lineup.
The North Korean team no longer has the role of a surprise soldier, but the South Korean team boldly abandoned the veteran Kim Ring with a mediocre performance in the semi-finals and replaced it with the teenage talent Kim Chol Joo.
The North Korean team only knows that the teenager Kim Cheol-joo is a talented teenager who stands out in this year's South Korean domestic championships, and does not know anything about other technical characteristics.
In the first game, the Northern Dynasty team highlighted the selection of Cui Jin, who had a strong impact, and faced off against the current first person in Asia, Liu Nankui of South Korea.
It must be admitted that Cui Jin's backhand forward arc ball is a more advanced technology, but in the case of the first person in Asia has been prepared, the lethality is minimized.
Although Cui Jinchai is a player with strong impact and has the excellent quality of a Northern Dynasty athlete who is good at fighting tough battles, he still feels a little frizzy when he encounters Liu Nankui, who is more profound and has a needle hidden in the cotton.
Although Cui Jinchai once broke out and won the second game, Liu Nankui made a few mistakes by Cui Jinchai with a more stable output in the third game, and finally Liu Nankui's 2:1 game ended Cui Jinchai's dark horse legend and defended his honor as the first person in Asia.
Although the North Korean team lost the first game, it won Lee Geunxiang a chance to face South Korea's Kim Ki-cheol in a misplaced match.
Li Genxiang and Jin Qizhe are both old opponents who have been active in the Asian arena for seven or eight years, and they are familiar with each other, and Li Genxiang's strength has always been above Jin Qizhe, and the difference between the world-class and the Asian-class is the first-class.
Li Genxiang combined with attacks and won Jin Qizhe 2:0 in the game.
Ye Xiaoya sighed: "The two sides are 1:1, it seems that they are evenly matched, will they fight to the eighth or ninth game?" ”
Liu Guobang analyzed: "The key is to see the third singles of the two sides, who wins, you can see the overall gap between the two sides!" ”
Kong Zhendong knows South Korea's Kim Cheol-joo too well, he said: "The Northern Warriors have already lost, if South Korea wins this game again, it will be a victory!" ”
Obviously, it was only the third of the nine games, but the offensive battle between Kim Cheol-joo and Kim Chen-hee was bloody!
Both of them are Japanese straight and strong offensive style of play, and the competition is who gets started faster and who is more active! Who is fierce and can also integrate cunning changes.
Jin Chenxi's ferocity is the ferocity of the quality of will, and the ferocity of the style, but the ferocity of Kim Cheol-joo is integrated into the technique and tactics, his center of gravity sinks, exerts force, stretches his big arms, shakes his wrists, spins the board, and every action integrates his ferocity into it and constantly escalates.
Although Kim Chen-hee screamed and cheered for every goal he won like a trapped beast, his ferocious momentum couldn't withstand Kim Cheol-joo's fierce style of man-ball integration, and finally Kim Cheol-joo won the crucial third game.
Only insiders such as Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang know how decisive this victory is. When ordinary viewers saw the magical dark horse Choi Jin shoot to win the South Korean veteran Kim Ki-cheol and once again draw the score to 2:2, they thought that the two sides were evenly matched.
In the fifth game, Liu Nankui, the first person in Asia, defeated Jin Chenxi's ferocious counterattack without any suspense, and with a big score of 3:2, the South Korean team ushered in the sixth game.
In the sixth game, South Korean genius Kim Cheol-joo faced off against the mainstay of North Korea, the chipping master Lee Geun-sang.
In this game, Kim Zhezhu interpreted the advantage of the Japanese straight style of play to the chipping to the extreme.
When Kong Zhendong saw Kim Cheol-joo use the forehand short platform burst arc that he controlled in later generations, he knew that Lee Geun-sang had encountered a deadly nemesis.
Li Genxiang is the ancestor of the method of cutting the ball and turning defense into attack, but the tactical trick of turning defense into attack is to first defend and then turn to attack.
Kim Cheol-joo's forehand burst arc circle, the momentum is heavy, and the squeezing-like rotation arc brought out by the single cypress of Rizhi is weird, and Lee Geunxiang can't prevent it at all, let alone switch to the next board attack.
In the crucial sixth game, Kim Zhezhu won the cornerstone of the Northern Dynasty Li Geunxiang in an upset, and at the same time got the match point of the whole game with a big score of 4:2.
The seventh battle, the battle that decided the ownership of the championship, was also a battle of redemption for the two losers.
The first two appearances, the two defeats of the Northern Dynasty Kim Chen-hee, against the equally hard-working South Korean veteran Kim Ki-chul.
Both men are in desperate need of a win to defend their place in the team.
After all, it was the back waves of the Yangtze River that pushed the front waves, and Jin Chenxi of the Northern Dynasty used a victory to continue the last hope of the Northern Dynasty team and complete his own redemption.
Liu Guobang sighed: "The veteran Kim Qi-chul lost all three games, and the other Golden Ring semi-final also performed averagely, it seems that the South Korean team is going to complete the new replacement first." ”
In the eighth match, all the reporters who watched the game felt a little trembling at the end of their pens, Cui Jinzhu, Kim Zhezhu, two talented young players who were born out of nowhere, all the reporters seemed to feel that the outcome of this duel would open a new era in Asian table tennis.
Kong Zhendong shook his head and said: "If you put it in ten years, the outcome is unpredictable, but at this stage, it is not difficult to guess the outcome or defeat." ”
There are so many contrasts between the two talented young players, both of whom are shining on the international stage for the first time. It was the first time that they had played as a team gold medal tiebreaker. The two belong to the same ethnic group, and they have completely different training systems.
Both of them are top athletes who have practiced the arc to the extreme, and one is a forehand blast and the other is a backhand forward.
The two seem to be twins, but they seem to be two sides of the coin, and finally ushered in a fateful showdown!
