Chapter 040: Showdown with Kim Cheol-joo!
Kim Cheol-joo, a young athlete under the age of 20, became the only person to score all three points in the final.
Among the people he defeated was Li Genxiang, the No. 1 chipper in the Northern Dynasty, and Cui Jin, a genius with a backhand.
If Kong Zhendong, or even any member of the Chinese youth team, took the initiative to challenge him, he could laugh it off with contempt.
I am already the first young Asian person to be praised to the altar, why do you challenge me?
The challenge that would not have happened was because Kim Min-nam was abused by an exchange teenager with the title of South Korean champion, and Kim Cheol-joo took the initiative to fight.
Seeing Kim Chol-joo in the battle, the reporters began to prepare new articles again. Although this Chinese teenager is powerful, I am afraid that in the end it is just a stepping stone for the South Korean genius boy to increase his prestige.
Kong Zhendong warmed up with a small jump, relaxing the muscles that had just tensed in response to Jin Minnan's weird topspin ball.
Liu Guobang asked beside him, "Are you nervous?" If you think you can't win, we can go to the organizer, after all, a good exchange is just a game, and no one can force you to continue the game. ”
Although Kong Zhendong defeated Liu Guobang 11:8 in the Shichahai 11-point game, no one, including Liu Guobang, thought that Kong Zhendong would be Kim Zhezhu's opponent.
The difference is how ugly it is to lose.
Kim Cheol-joo can be said to be Kong Zhendong's fierce rival who has been entangled for most of his career in his last life. The two have a record against each other, Kong Zhendong has more wins and fewer losses, but the few games he lost are all crucial games.
In their previous lives, Kong Zhendong and Kim Zhezhu were only five years apart, and the peak of the two almost coincided, so every confrontation between the two was an offensive and defensive battle between Mars and the Earth.
In this life, the young grandmother Kong Zhendong is ten years different from Jin Zhezhu, and Jin Zhezhu at this time has at least seventy or eighty percent of the strength of the peak, but today's Kong Zhendong, I am afraid that fifty percent of the strength in the previous life does not have.
Kong Zhendong and Kim Zhezhu pushed a few boards, and after adapting to the new ball, Kim Zhezhu took the lead in serving.
Ten-year-old Kong Zhendong is completely out of the same level as Kim Cheol-joo in terms of hard power, and his only advantage is like the battle against Liu Guobang in Shichahai, he knows his opponent, and his opponent knows nothing about him.
Among Kong Zhendong's many opponents in his previous life, he was the most impressed and the most thoroughly studied Liu Guobang, Waldner, Kim Zhezhu, and Wang Dali.
He has studied Kim Cheol-joo countless days and nights, and has reached a point where he is more familiar with himself than Kim Cheol-joo.
Before Kim Cheol-joo served, the little finger of his left hand holding the ball unconsciously pointed downward, and his left shoulder sank slightly.
It's a diagonal downspin ball!
At the moment when Kim Cheol-joo served, Kong Zhendong had already taken the first step to the right, leaned forward, and rubbed the horizontal board of his right hand diagonally forward.
He actually predicted it in advance?
The coaches of the South Korean team jumped in fright!
Kong Zhendong's racket seemed to be waiting there, and directly rubbed Kim Zhezhu's downspin ball diagonally and shortened it.
Kim Cheol-joo's service line was caught in advance, and his psychology fluctuated slightly, but he still had an advantage in the short ball in the table.
Kim Cheol-joo is at a disadvantage, with a straight forehand swinging short.
Kong Zhendong seemed to be waiting there again, the table tennis table had just bounced, Kong Zhendong quickly picked up his backhand, and directly hit Kim Zhezhu's backhand triangle.
Although Kim Zhezhu tried his best to retreat from the table to reach the ball, the return ball still did not fall on the table, and Kong Zhendong scored the first point.
"Okay, Zhendong is the best!" Ye Xiaoya jumped and applauded, Liu Guobang did not jump up, but also clenched his hands into fists and cheered loudly.
It's really too depressing, not just because Kong Zhendong scored this point, but because of the calmness and control he showed during the duel.
His opponent is the Asian champion, the most talented young player.
But he was in control.
The South Korean coach shouted, "Cheol-joo, hold on!" He was gambling to catch the ball in advance, and it was impossible to predict every ball so accurately! ”
In the eyes of South Korean coaches and Liu Nankui and others, Kong Zhendong is like a point guard who likes gambling steals in basketball games, although he can succeed for a while, it is impossible to cover up the difference in strength between the two.
It's a pity that the South Korean coach succeeded in the moment, and it was actually four goals in a row.
The veteran Jin Qizhe asked Liu Nankui next to him: "Nankui, you have been training with Zhezhu for a few years, can you judge all his serves?" ”
Liu Nankui shook his head with a smile and said: "Of course it can't be, Zhezhu has a very strong impact, and he has crazy flowers, and there are any unsolvable balls." ”
Kong Zhendong relied on his own research on Kim Cheol-joo, allowing him to discover the relationship between Kim Cheol-joo's small movements that he didn't pay attention to and the choice of the next ball path.
This magical performance of the master of prophecy conquered all the audiences at the scene.
The audience and media reporters, regardless of nationality, began to applaud and cheer for Kong Zhendong rhythmically.
They also hope to see Kong Zhendong perform a miracle.
The one-sided shouts and cheers of the audience deeply stimulated Kim Cheol-joo.
A minute ago, you held me up as the hope for Asia's future.
A minute ago, you were still impressed by my miraculous performance.
And now, you want to abandon me?
I'm not convinced!
Kim Cheol-joo, who was seen through the play, actually went crazy at this moment!
This is not a fantasy, the top athletes in various sports will more or less enter the crazy field in certain competitions.
For example, Kobe Bryant's 81 points, such as Lewandowski's World Cup five goals in a game, such as Bolt's 100m 9.69 seconds.
In table tennis games, there are also moments when after entering the crazy mode, all kinds of magic balls emerge in endlessly, how to play and how to score.
Kim Chol-joo entered such a moment.
What's even more terrifying is that once Kim Zhezhu enters a state of madness, all the hitting actions become unreasonable, and Kong Zhendong's familiar prediction is impossible.
Kim Cheol-joo took advantage of this unstoppable and unpredictable madness to score six points in one fell swoop and overtook the score 6:4.
Liu Guobang hurriedly shouted: "Vibration, change the rhythm, you can't follow his crazy energy!" ”
Entering Kong Zhendong's service wheel, Kong Zhendong blew on the ball, and also calmed down some heavy gasps.
The biggest weakness of his ten-year-old body is still in physical fitness, once Kim Cheol-joo starts a ferocious fight across Taiwan, Kong Zhendong seems tired to deal with.
At the moment when there is a gap in the strength of the two, Kim Cheol-joo has just entered the realm of the god who is fighting madness.
Am I going to lose to South Koreans in front of more than 10,000 fans in the capital?
I've been reborn once, but I still can't change the fate of losing to Kim Cheol-joo?
No, I still have a chance!
Kong Zhendong stared at Jin Zhezhu, who had entered the god-level state opposite, and said, "Even if you enter the realm of gods, try this trick of mine to kill the gods!" ”
Is that the trick?
Liu Guobang jumped up in surprise!
Is it to beat his own backhand cut ball in Shichahai to monetize? Kim Chol-joo, you're done!
Hehe, even if you go crazy, you're going to be finished!
