From facing the brink of elimination several times in the group stage, to counterattacking all the way and becoming the only team in the quarterfinals to qualify second in the group, the capital team does have the capital to carnival.

After a night of relaxation, the coaches of the capital team who sat in the conference room the next morning, although they had some pleasure after the release of pressure, still attached great importance to today's topic.

Today's meeting will produce the line-up for the afternoon game.

Several coaches expressed their opinions, but Coach Zheng and Coach Hong, who would quarrel in the past, are surprisingly silent today.

Because Kong Zhendong has played five times and won all five battles, he has secured the main position.

After entering the quarterfinals, the atmosphere of the meeting was obviously not as dignified as before.

When several coaches expressed their opinions, Coach Li Muhua listened to the opinions while looking through a newspaper in his hand.

After everyone's opinions were expressed, Coach Li Muhua raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "Everyone is still too relaxed today!" Let me share with you a commentary article published by Coach Li Xiaodong of the national team in the Beijing Times. ”

The title is "The Capital Team Advances to the Quarterfinals, Rising Against the Trend but Facing Dangers", Director Li Xiaodong is a person who likes data analysis. This time in the national championships, he has been keeping an eye on the capital team. In the previous analysis of this article, we dare to fight, we are tenacious, and the young players are excellent, so I won't mention them. Let's focus on his data analysis. The capital team experienced four rounds of battles, except for the 1:3 loss to the Northern Jiangsu team, and the other three rounds were all 3:2 decisive wins. ”

With the data, the coaches listened patiently.

"In the four rounds, the four players of the capital team played a total of 19 times, with 10 wins and 9 losses. It is the team with the lowest winning percentage among the top eight. In addition to Kong Zhendong's five wins, Zhang Lei played the most, with three wins and four losses, Chen Zhibing won two wins and three losses, and Xiong Ke lost all two games. Except for the teenager Kong Zhendong, there are three national players in the team, and no one has a winning rate of more than 50%. ”

The coaches, who were originally relaxed and freehand, looked solemn.

"Kong Zhendong as a young rookie player, the first time to represent the capital team in the national championships, the teams are light opponents, unfamiliar and unfamiliar with the style of play, the schedule has passed the halfway, the second half of the team will focus on the study of Kong Zhendong, for Kong Zhendong, rookie players will often hit the rookie wall that has won many battles and defeats. How did the capital team go further at that time? ”

Coach Li Muhua put down the newspaper and said in a solemn tone: "After the game yesterday, several leaders of the Capital Sports Commission called me. Congratulations on reaching the quarter-finals is secondary, the primary goal is for us to do whatever it takes to win the title. Yesterday I already saw several provincial teams specifically recording Kong Zhendong's game. In the past, Kong Zhendong used to study the opponent and impact the opponent, but in the future, it will be transformed into being studied, impacted, and targeted, can he withstand it? How can we improve the winning percentage of the remaining three players? ”

Coach Pei said: "On Zhendong's side, the next game still has to be protected, Zhang Lei lost both battles this time, and it is not appropriate to play in the next game." I suggest that Chen Zhibing play the first singles, hard to shake Wang Yonggang, and Kong Zhendong to play the second singles, against Wang Fei. Wang Fei is also a young player, lost to Zhendong in the Table Tennis Association Cup last year, should not be adjusted so quickly, Xiong Ke lost both games in the group stage, this afternoon it is recommended to give the last chance, if you still can't stand it, the follow-up game is resolutely not used. ”

After Chen Zhibing lost all the first two battles, he immediately lost his position in the next round. Therefore, Zhang Lei must be dealt with the same in this round, otherwise everyone is a national player, and too unfair will affect the atmosphere in the team.

Xiong Ke lost both games in the group stage, but in the last round of the group stage, he took the initiative to give Kong Zhendong the opportunity to play, and it stands to reason that he should also be given a chance to prove himself.

The pressure on Kong Zhendong in this game is unprecedented, from impacting the opponent as a surprise soldier to being targeted by the opponent as a key target, arranging the second singles is the most appropriate.

Coach Pei thought it through, and Li Muhua announced that the lineup for the afternoon was decided.

At half past two in the afternoon, the battle between the capital team and the Heihe team for the top four places began.

The winners of the two semi-finals in the morning, the People's Liberation Army and the Lingnan team, sat on both sides of the table and watched the game at close range.

Kong Zhendong, who entered the stadium in the cheers of the audience, looked at Liu Guobang, Wang Tao, Ma Lin, and Liu Guokun on both sides of the arena, and he was a little in a trance. After a hard battle, he finally stood on the same battlefield with them.

Of course, to fight them, you have to cross the high mountains in front of you, the Heihe Provincial Team.

Looking at Wang Yonggang, who was already doing warm-up exercises, Kong Zhendong seemed to recall the boyhood when he was touched by his head in his previous life.

In his previous life, he won the national championship with Wang Yonggang and Wang Fei, which was the first battle in which he was well-known throughout the country.

But today, if you want to go further, you have to defeat them and crush their dreams!

In the first game, Chen Zhibing of the capital team's double-sided arc circle faced off against Wang Yonggang, the straight board of the Heihe provincial team.

Kong Zhendong has not seen Brother Gang's peak strength for 20 years, but from Wang Yonggang's first serve, that familiar feeling has returned.

Wang Yonggang's straight plate is different from the vigorous smashing of his predecessors Chen Longcan and He Zhiwen, and it is also different from the strange changes of his juniors Liu Guobang.

The ultimate rigidity, the ultimate crispness, gives people a sharp feeling.

Chen Zhibing received the serve and sought to hold on. Chen Zhibing and Zhang Lei's generation of two-sided arc circle play, both of them are halfway monks, and the negative pursuit of pulling is extremely slow, giving people a particularly sticky feeling.

This is the duel between cutting through the mess with a quick knife and cutting off the water with a knife.

Chen Zhibing opened today with a forehand to press the bottom line when Kong Zhendong faced He Zhiwen in the last game.

But Wang Yonggang's return was extremely tough, and he didn't retreat like He Zhiwen at all.

You send me the bottom line, I'm not good at exerting force? If you don't have good hair, you have to be tough!

Wang Yonggang directly attacked sideways on the spot, and he was at his peak, and the running pace of the whole Taiwan exceeded He Zhiwen too much.

Chen Zhibing's forehand couldn't be adjusted, and his backhand naturally couldn't be suppressed.

Wang Yonggang's offensive often began in Tainai. Chen Zhibing's small ball skills are not bad, but Wang Yonggang's small ball fighting is not a confrontation of small skills between the two sides, and he fights directly and fiercely.

hit the nail on the head, either score or go to the net, but the initiative is on Wang Yonggang's side.

Chen Zhibing played hard and bit the score, but he couldn't overtake and lost the first game 17:21.

In the second game, Wang Yonggang played more toughly, and the third board was all rushed, and he took the initiative without remembering mistakes.

This ball is still guided by Li Xiaodong to explain to Ye Ying.

"Wang's style of play seems to be a reckless lunge, but it is actually a well-thought-out tactic. What he grabbed was the word initiative, the score was actively fought for, and the loss of points was sent by mistake. Chen Zhibing has not taken the initiative to score, so he has no chance to build mature tactics. This style of play is a greater threat to Kong Zhendong, who wins by tactics! ”

Seeing Chen Zhibing lose this game 0:2, Li Xiaodong muttered: "Of course, the capital team also has to hold on until Kong Zhendong vs. Wang Yong just now!" ”
