Chapter 012: Yu Lao's Choice
In the next few balls, Kong Zhendong and Li Jun won and lost each other.
At this time, Kong Zhendong's state is as if he is being a coach for himself.
Kong Zhendong, a former teenager, did not receive professional and systematic table tennis training, and only played with his playmates.
I have seen several folk masters, that is, my father and a few of his colleagues.
After playing wild ball for four or five years, many catch-and-shoot actions and power generation methods have become a habit.
If you use skill and strategy to start controlling the situation in the service and return stage, as you did in the face of Hong Tao, this kind of wild way shortcomings will not be exposed.
But today, I deliberately fought with Li Jun for many rounds, and some weaknesses that I realized the position but couldn't keep up with the movements were exposed.
Although Kong Zhendong did not open up the lead, he was very patient and guided the body to adapt to more reasonable power skills and more consistent pace combinations.
Kong Zhendong was calm, but the onlookers, including Guo Bing, did not see it that way.
In their opinion, Li Jun was running all over the field, fighting vigorously, and occupying the absolute initiative.
Kong Zhendong barely defended, only relying on fewer mistakes to take a slight lead in the score.
Their eyesight has not yet reached the point where they can see Kong Zhendong's ability to use the ball control to force the opponent to make mistakes in a passive situation.
Seeing that Kong Zhendong was a little passive on the scene, Guo Bing desperately cheered him on, and his momentum was not inferior to several of Li Jun's comrades-in-arms.
Guo Bing was screaming, and suddenly a playful voice behind him asked, "Bingzi, how many is the score?" ”
Guo Bing casually responded: "7:5." Then he turned around and said in surprise: "Little girl? You're finally here, why did you take time off in the afternoon? Zhendong's ball, very ~ dangerous ~ ah ~ Yu ~ old! ”
Guo Bing was so frightened that he almost stammered.
Because he saw that Ye Xiaoya was walking with the advisor of the capital team, Yu Lao.
Yu Lao is actually not old, he is not yet sixty years old, and his hair is only slightly white on his temples, and he is black and oily on top.
But Yu Lao's status is too special, he retired from the position of the leader and coach of the national table tennis team a few years ago, and now he is the consultant and guide of the capital team.
After Yu Lao retired in the past few years, he couldn't go to the training hall of the capital team for a week, and the table tennis events organized by some ministries, commissions, districts and counties in the capital were also the ones who accepted the invitation. Seeing him next to the cement ball table of a county elementary school today, it is no wonder that Guo Bing's surprised words are not good.
But when he turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoya, Guo Bing was not surprised.
Yu Lao only has one daughter, and after graduating from college, he married in the south, so the two elders who have no children around him are particularly close to Ye Xiaoya. If it weren't for the fear of bad influence, the two elders would have married Ye Xiaoya a long time ago.
No wonder this girl took a leave of absence this afternoon! With her coming forward, it is not difficult to invite Yu Lao.
Guo Bing whispered to Ye Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, you are not small-minded!" Let Yu Lao see Zhendong, do you want him to enter the capital youth team? But he didn't play well this game! ”
Ye Xiaoya did not reply to Guo Bing, but frowned and paid attention to the situation on the field.
Yu Lao was also watching the game with interest, the score had come to 8:5, and Li Jun once again made a slight mistake in judging the rotation of the incoming ball, and the ball went out of bounds.
The little girl invited herself today, just saying that she thought someone was playing well, so she let herself take a look.
The young man who fought vigorously on the field was wearing an army green vest, which should have been from the army. However, as long as it is not a Bayi team, it is no problem to enter the local team.
Yu Lao smiled and said to Ye Xiaoya: "This officer's straight board is fierce enough, and his left hand is also distinctive. It's just this strength, and the capital team grabs a lot of it! You have to be stronger to bring in reinforcements from the outside! ”
Ye Xiaoya hurriedly said: "Uncle Yu, it's not that soldier, it's my classmate, that boy, Kong Zhendong!" ”
Yu Lao was slightly surprised, and then paid attention to Kong Zhendong, who was changing the line with his backhand on the horizontal board.
At this age? Practicing horizontal boarding?
It is indeed rare that Chinese young table tennis players are very young and practice with professional coaches, or the elders in the family are the older generation of players, teaching by word and deed!
From the fifties to the present, China has continued to play with straight fast attack, and in the eighties, it began to combine fast attack with arc circle, but the arc circle is only an auxiliary, mainly relying on the first three boards of the straight board to solve the problem.
It's not that there are no crossboard players in China, but the domestic crossboard style of play is still more affected by the fast attack, and the footsteps and style are in the same vein as the straight board fast attack.
But the old-eyed Yu Lao saw many novel things from Kong Zhendong's style of play.
This kid is actually a pure European horizontal board play based on arc circles? Which coach brought this out?
After taking a closer look, Yu Lao smiled and shook his head again.
Kong Zhendong's new backhand arc circle action is not in place. This is actually caused by Kong Zhendong's advanced consciousness and the lack of coordination of his body, but in Yu Lao's eyes, this action is awkward and unfamiliar, and he feels that it is not long before he comes into contact with the European backhand arc technology.
Yu Lao sighed: "This kind of abandonment of traditional European play should have been learned by watching the game video, right?" It's like that! ”
Ye Xiaoya said: "Uncle Yu, Zhendong hasn't practiced professionally yet?" Do you think he is qualified to enter the Capital Junior Team? ”
Yu Lao was surprised: "Look at the size, this kid is over ten years old, right?" Have you ever practiced systematically until now? ”
Ye Xiaoya smiled: "I haven't practiced, but I think it's better than me, didn't you say that I can enter the junior team?" ”
Yu Lao smiled: "Girl, you are lazy, there are more peers than you." But in the past few decades, it is not for nothing that systematic training over the age of ten can still be played, but"
Ye Xiaoya and Guo Bing's hearts were cold, but there seemed to be a turnaround, and they asked in unison: "But what?" ”
Yu Lao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But it's rare, it has to be a genius!" ”
Talented?
Guo Bing and Ye Xiaoya suddenly felt that the mountains were looking up, genius? It has to be Chen Jingrun, Hua Luogeng's kind? (In those days, there was no concept of athletic genius)
Will Kong Zhendong be a genius?
Even if Yu Lao has selected more than 1,000 materials, and all kinds of wizards and monsters have seen it, he doesn't dare to guarantee that he can see the potential of genius in one game.
However, in Yu Lao's heart, the biggest problem is not Kong Zhendong's potential, but his playing style.
This kind of road is different from the domestic horizontal board inheritance road for many years, but it is in the same vein as the European style of play, is this style of play worth trying or even promoting?
Yu Lao's hesitation is not untargeted.
Today's entire national table tennis, from the national team to various local teams, is in a period of confusion of consecutive defeats, and it is also in a period of fierce change in the future route of tactical play.
At this time, what style of player training you choose represents what kind of technical development route you favor.
Yu Lao introduced a ten-year-old newcomer into the capital team~~
Are they all ten years old, and they are still newcomers? What are your strengths?
What the? European arc play?
Does that mean that Yu Lao also feels that the straight board is about to come to an end?
Is this Yu Lao's judgment on the future development route of table tennis technology?
Or is Yu Lao dissatisfied with the current national team coaching staff who keep the old style of play and do not change?
All sorts of speculation will come flooding in.
This is not a platform on the line, but in the 90s, it was a common practice to express one's big position with small actions.
Only this time, is Yu Lao ready to stand up?
