Chapter 084: Epoch-making Serve, Born! 【Three more votes】
The third game is about to begin, Kong Zhendong and Cheng Longcan quickly pull and push to adapt to the new ball.
Mi Xingbang saw Kong Zhendong's crisp defeat in the second game, and now his state is still very stable, and he couldn't help but say to Yu Lao: "The capital team still has a very good set of cultivating talents!" Young players, there is still a lot of room for growth in skills and tactics, and the most important thing is heart! ”
Yu Lao sighed: "Zhendong, this kid, I knew him before he entered the capital team, and he is a very assertive child, but he should also accept some failures that he can't reverse in order to grow better!" If you change the opponent, there is a chance in the third game, in fact, in the first two games, both sides played a good game, and it is difficult to say whether Long Can can enter the previous game in this game. This is a game of fighting, if Kong Zhendong is like the first game, he takes the lead on the opening serve, and there is still a fight! ”
Mi Xingbang, as the former first person in China's horizontal board, also smiled helplessly: "Do you want to serve and dominate? I haven't seen it yet! ”
Kong Zhendong and Cheng Longcan adapted to the end of the ball, and Kong Zhendong took the lead in serving.
Kong Zhendong can serve five balls in a row. In the first two games of the whole match, Kong Zhendong has been paving the way for this service game.
Winning the first game was the foundation, and he was crushed by Cheng Longcan in the second game, which was also expected by him.
Before the game, Kong Zhendong carefully analyzed the process Long Can and believed that he, like many traditional Chinese table tennis players, was good at playing against the wind, but was not good at chasing after victory.
In international competitions, Cheng Longcan is often a drama of falling behind, equalizing, falling behind and equalizing, and finally winning.
This is a psychological hurdle that has always been difficult for Chinese players to overcome. It is that after losing a game first and pulling back a game, it is often easy to relax during this period. There are very few direct counterattacks to win, often fluctuate, and the opponent leads again, and finally it is difficult to counterattack to win.
His crisp defeat in the second game should make Cheng Longcan a little slack at the beginning of the third game, and he can't continue to win all the way in the second game.
So is it like the first game, taking advantage of Cheng Longcan's slight slackness at the beginning to win?
Kong Zhendong is not so naïve!
The previous draw is for the foreshadowing of this moment, and these five serves are the key to the decisive victory!
Kong Zhendong was about to serve, and his whole body turned to the right completely, with his left hand in front and his right hand in his waist.
Mi Xingbang's eyes froze, and he smiled: "Good guy, you still have a powerful way to serve?" For the third game? But it's useless, Long Can is a world champion, what a special serve, a few balls will be adapted! ”
Kong Zhendong holds the racket horizontally with his right hand, middle finger, ring finger, and tail finger completely adducted, and only uses his index finger and thumb to clamp the racket, stretch his wrist forward, and control the racket with a tiger's mouth!
Although it is still a horizontal grip, it is the same as a straight board, and the whole wrist can be rotated at any angle by controlling the racket with the tiger's mouth!
Kong Zhendong closed his eyes and blew on the ball, and silently thought in his heart: Washen, this world is so wonderful! Since you haven't started using it yet, let me shine on the world stage with this magic skill!
In the early nineties, when Sweden was in full rule in this world, the god of Wa had not yet created - the horizontal board straight grip serve!
Kong Zhendong reverently raised the ball above his head with his left hand and looked up at his left palm. Cheng Longcan's eyes couldn't help but look at Kong Zhendong's left palm holding the ball.
How high will it be thrown? Cheng Longcan is still speculating.
Snort~! There was an undetectable friction sound, the white light flashed, and the table tennis ball actually spun out from the armpit of Kong Zhendong's left arm at high speed!
This is a magician-like rhinoceros Mochizuki serve, a tile god stunt. Kong Zhendong has suffered enough of this trick in his last life.
When the left hand lifts the ball over the top, it seems to be a magician's means of attracting people's attention, in fact, with a quick flick of the left wrist, the ball has been thrown, and the right hand holds the board above the waist quickly, and the ball rushes out from the armpit of the left hand!
Fastness and a sense of surprise are almost incomprehensible.
Mi Xingbang shook his head appreciatively: "This ball has a strong sense of surprise and good ideas, and the average opponent will be destroyed!" But how many deceptive serves did Long Can encounter in international competitions? Just speed and raids, useless! ”
Sure enough, with Cheng Longcan's reaction and experience, he easily received the ball.
Yes?
However, the quality of this ball return is extremely poor, the arc is completely on top, Kong Zhendong rushed to the board and scored directly!
How so?
Yu Lao asked tentatively: "It seems that Long Can misjudged the rotation of this ball!" But how many turns can you make on the sideboard serve? ”
The handle of the horizontal board is like a knife handle, and if you spin the serve, you will hit the wrist, and it is impossible to send out a special spinning ball!
Everyone was inexplicable, Kong Zhendong once again held the horizontal board and sent out the second ball.
Because of the cover of the Rhino Moon Serve, the surrounding spectators still can't notice the grip of the racket when he serves!
On the second ball, Cheng Longcan made another misjudgment, and the rotation of this ball also stunned the coaches of the national table tennis coaching staff!
Yu Lao frowned and said: "Zhenbang, let's change our position and see how this kid's horizontal board sends out a ball that spins more than a straight board!" ”
During the game, the audience was not allowed to move around at will, but Yu Lao and Mi Xingbang had a special identity after all, and as soon as they talked to the off-site staff in charge of the finals, they changed to the position after turning right in front of Kong Zhendong's figure, and after some tossing, Kong Zhendong was already about to send the fifth ball.
Even when it came to the angle of watching Kong Zhendong's serve head-on, he was still deceived by the left-handed throwing action for a while, and Kong Zhendong quickly sent out the fifth ball!
Mi Xingbang frowned and said, "Old Yu, I just noticed that Kong Zhendong's handshake is a little different!" But I didn't see it clearly! ”
Yu Lao nodded and said: "5:0, this trick is so easy to use, it is impossible for him not to use it, let's watch a few more balls!" ”
Switching to Long Can's serve of five balls in a row, Kong Zhendong combined the straight grip serve of the horizontal board with the serving method of the Rhino Mochizuki Magician to create the perfect start of the dream.
Because the straight grip method is inherently compatible with chopsticks, the Chinese have always had a straight plate complex.
After the complete decline of the straight board play, Wang Yajun re-shined in the world table tennis arena with the straight board horizontal play, and the Chinese people also raised the significance of the historical change of the straight board and horizontal play infinitely.
In fact, before the invention of the straight board horizontal play, the horizontal board straight grip, which has the significance of the epoch-making grip and racket reform, also affects the technological development pattern of the world table tennis world.
Table tennis is a sport that has been invented for more than 100 years, so there is nothing new under the sun.
Just like Liu Guobang in the 90s, after Wang Yajun pushed it to the world's peak in the new century, many celebrities in the fifties and sixties jumped out, claiming that they used a straight board to play backhand back then, and he was the founder of the straight board and horizontal play decades ago!
Similarly, although Waldner is said to be the first person to use a straight grip on the board in the World Championships, in the more than 100 years of table tennis, has a playful teenager on a country table ever tried a straight grip and a straight board?
So the definition of this inventor is up for debate.
But just as it proves that Columbus was the discoverer of the American continent, even though it proves that someone first visited the Americas, he still defines Columbus as the discoverer of the American continent.
The creator of a technical style of play should be the first to use this technology in international competitions and be widely recognized as a tactical style of play system with popularization significance, so that it can be called the pioneer of a certain style of play.
The traditional straight backhand is chased by people and has no way to occasionally be forced to return to a board horizontally to save the ball, which is really not the inventor of the straight board horizontal hit!
