Kong Zhendong flicked the table tennis ball on the racket twice, and pushed and pulled with his opponent Casvaro to adapt to the new ball.

While pulling against him, Kong Zhendong was still thinking about the huge threat of Yang Min's straight fast attack, and he was still thinking about which set of tactics he would have to use to ensure a steady victory when he faced Yang Min later.

Hmm~ Kong Zhendong was taken aback, he actually swung his racket and missed the ball in the backhand pull.

Victoria, who was holding her sister Madeleine's arm in the stands, tightened her fingers suddenly, and said urgently: "Is Zhendong completely out of shape, this kind of ball is not difficult at all!" ”

Madeleine pulled Victoria's hand down and said with a smug smile: "Maybe when I arrived in Milan, I was dazzled by the models, and I was obviously distracted!" Anyway, adapting to the ball doesn't count as a score, so it may be a casual practice. ”

Victoria shook his head and said: "No, Kong Zhendong used to adapt to the ball very seriously, because this is the best opportunity to mobilize his physical state and enter the excitement, and he shouldn't be absent-minded." ”

In adapting to the new ball, sometimes in order to adapt to the elasticity of various power balls, often some extreme actions cannot catch the ball, which is normal, and the re-kick-off is it.

But with my basic skills, it was just a very conventional backhand pull just now, even if I was a little distracted because of Yang Min, but this kind of conventional backhand pull action has formed a body muscle memory, and it is impossible to miss the ball!

Since it's not his own reason, it's because of his opponent Casvaro.

Kong Zhendong completely put Yang Min's threat aside from the later matches at this time, and faced his opponent Casvaro for the first time.

To be honest, because Yang Min, the first main force, is too dazzling, and Italy's local table tennis is not outstanding. Therefore, in the pre-match training, in Sweden's preparations, Ben Gesen and Kong Zhendong did not pay special attention to the local No. 2 main force of the Milan 1982 team.

Casvaro was only of average height among Italians, with blonde hair, but he deliberately cut his hair to an inch short, and his blonde hair stood on end.

Kong Zhendong recalled Casvaro's sports experience in his mind, and found that he was very similar to Sith Pan, belonging to the young players who were recruited into the team's youth academy shortly after the establishment of the Milan 1092 team, and did not become the team's substitute until two or three years ago, and only became the team's main force last year, but this year he has secured the position of the team's No. 2 main force.

When reading Casvaro's information before, Kong Zhendong only felt that the other party had grown up step by step, and the competition in the Italian league was not as fierce as Sweden's, and the No. 2 main level of the third in the league was just like that.

But at this time, after feeling that Casvaro's hitting rhythm is extraordinary, you will find that his entire basic skills and the growth stage of his golden training age are precisely the golden era of Mi Xingbang coaching the Milan 1982 team.

Although the lineup that won the championship in those years was poached by other teams because of its success, Casvaro also gradually grew from a substitute to the main force in the past few years when Mi Xingbang left, but his formation of basic skills and determination of technical play should be in the era of Mi Shuai.

Then how much inheritance did you get from Mi Shuai?

Kong Zhendong's eyes froze. With your center of gravity lowered, your hands raised, stretching your body, and preparing to receive the serve with the most concentrated mental state.

Casvaro obviously felt that Kong Zhendong's entire momentum was completely different from the casualness of the adaptation stage, he rubbed the table tennis ball towards the racket, and quickly threw it up the moment it rebounded into the palm of his hand.

The throwing distance of the table tennis ball is not high, and Casvaro quickly turns sideways at the moment of serve, and the right hand of the racket is fully integrated with the turn, and the ball is hit forward faster.

Bengersen's eyes shrank sharply on the sidelines, and Sith Pan, who had just lost, also woke up instantly, leaned forward, and stared at the changes in the field.

Bengersen sighed: "Most European players don't pay attention to serving, except for the top players, the average player can achieve a combination of long and short serves, and it is not easy to change the line." Casvaro's serve, from throwing the ball, to leading the racket, to spinning the waist to exert power, every technical detail is perfect, and it feels like watching a Chinese player serve. ”

On the field at this time, Kong Zhendong, who was standing opposite Casvaro, felt more pressure.

He has played against many Chinese players at home, and Casvaro's serve is not only like that of the Chinese, but also stronger than most of them.

The forehand of the horizontal shot serves forward, why is the forward momentum so strong? It feels like a straight forehand serve.

While Kong Zhendong played his backhand quickly, he deliberately paid attention to Casvaro's gripping hand type, and did not use the horizontal board straight grip serve method he invented.

In the face of Kong Zhendong's return ball, Casvaro had a small jump, and at the same time, in the movement, the upper body completed the sideways and lead the racket, and then exerted his strength, pulling the ball back with a forehand in the backhand position.

The power in this kind of sport is great, Kong Zhendong's eyes lit up, this is not his favorite active offensive play, nor is it the technology he introduced from the later generation of big ball power methods.

Casvaro's movement is more traditional and unique.

Kong Zhendong did not show weakness, quickly turned sideways, and also used his forehand to pull with Casvaro in the backhand position.

Once you enter the backhand position, then in addition to the basic skills and strength of the hard shock, the key to determining the victory or defeat is who can change the line first.

In the end, Casvaro, who pulled the ball first, took a big sideways step and suddenly changed the diagonal line to a straight line and quickly pulled the forehand.

Kong Zhendong quickly moved horizontally to the forehand position, continued to pull diagonally, and counterattacked Casvaro's forehand.

In the stride and horizontal movement, Casvaro directly took off and quickly drew a straight line, killing Kong Zhendong to score on the far platform with a backhand.

Facing this ball, Kong Zhendong couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

Generally, athletes hit the ball after landing on the ground in the lateral movement, so that Kong Zhendong has enough time to move and react.

However, Casvaro was smart to hit the ball in the air, and at the same time chose the shortest straight line, Kong Zhendong didn't have time to react.

The key to this ball is to be fast, although after landing, the force is more stable and the strength is more sufficient, but the purpose of this ball is that Kong Zhendong can't catch up fast, and there is no need to fight hard with Kong Zhendong, and there is no need to exert a lot of force.

Through the complete confrontation of this ball, Kong Zhendong finally felt the skills of hitting the ball in the opponent's sport, which is inherited from Mi Shuai's skills in the 80s.

When it comes to Mi Shuai's table tennis skills, the first thing most Chinese people want to play is just to switch the board with the unpredictable use of two kinds of rubber.

But if it was just this trick, Mi Shuai would not be able to gallop in the international table tennis world.

Because China's straight plate is fast in the 80s, the movement and return speed of the ball is too fast, so the crossboard skills of Mi Xingbang in the sport are not very important in the eyes of domestic experts.

No matter how fast and clever you are, can you still surpass the running speed of the whole stage of the straight board fast attack and the flexibility of the wrist after the force?
