Li Jun said with a smile: "It's good if you are mentally prepared, so the quarterfinals are not the end, you have to play hard and strive to go further!" ”

Kong Zhendong nodded and said: "Since you are participating, you must have the heart to compete for the championship, is my opponent in the quarterfinals determined?" ”

Li Jun sighed: "It's a tough battle! Wang Fei of the Heihe Provincial Team. In the past, when Wang Yonggang was there, Wang Fei was the No. 2 person in the Heihe Provincial Team, and after Wang Yonggang was selected for the national team, Wang Fei was already the flag bearer of the Heihe Provincial Team. This time, Wang Yonggang was selected into the national team lineup of the Chiba World Table Tennis Championships, and his singles results are very average, and he is still training in the national team! ”

Kong Zhendong was surprised and said inexplicably: "The next opponent is Fei Ge?" ”

Li Jun said strangely: "Do you know Wang Fei?" Although Wang Fei is the No. 1 general in Heihe, the overall Heihe provincial team is not strong. He didn't have a great result in the national competition, you shouldn't know him! ”

Kong Zhendong didn't know how to explain to Li Jun, of course he didn't know Wang Fei in his life, but Wang Fei took good care of himself in his last life!

Wang Yonggang and Wang Fei, who have always been known as the kings of the Heihe Provincial Team, have been working hard to support the withering Heihe Provincial Team, so that its national ranking remains in the middle of the bottom.

Until the rise of the genius Kong Zhendong in the previous life, Kong Zhendong strengthened the third singles of the team competition of the Heihe Provincial Team, making the Heihe Provincial Team a frequent visitor to the top four in the country.

Wang Yonggang is a few years older than Wang Fei and Kong Zhendong, and he has always been the image of a strict big brother, but Wang Fei is only one year older than Kong Zhendong, and he takes good care of him in the provincial team.

Do the math, I have become five years younger in this life, and Fei Ge should be seventeen years old this year, which is also the golden age to hit the national team quota.

In the top eight, the national team is only a priority selection, and if you want to increase your grasp, you must go further.

But in the fate duel of eight into four, Kong Zhendong and Wang Fei met!

Li Jun has a better understanding of Wang Fei's playing style, he said: "The Heihe Provincial Team has always been the place of straight board inheritance, the No. 1 person Wang Yonggang, is the inheritor of the straight board positive rubber fast attack, as for Wang Fei, his golden age of practice is exactly a few years ago during the national straight board rubber reform period, he practiced the straight board reverse rubber fast attack. It is a way to fight Lingnan Huo Dong in front of you, you can easily defeat Huo Dong and beat Wang Fei, you still have experience! ”

Kong Zhendong shook his head and said: "Feige's straight anti-glue is completely different from Lingnan's anti-glue. ”

Although Kong Zhendong has always been the pinnacle of the horizontal arc circle combined with fast attack play, because he grew up in the Heihe Provincial Team in his previous life, he still remembers the process of the reform of the straight plate and the anti-glue.

The key figure in the change of straight plate positive glue to reverse glue is Guo Aihua. After his straight plate positive glue fast break was cracked by the Swedes, he was forced to change and decided to use the straight plate reverse glue.

He is the first athlete in the world to win a world championship in both straight and reverse styles.

In the mid-to-late eighties, as the curve ball became more and more popular, table tennis was destined to enter the era of topspin confrontation.

As a result, the real first generation of athletes who have been practicing straight and anti-rubber since they were teenagers was born.

The best of their generation are Wang Fei of Heihe and Qin Zhijian of Northern Jiangsu. Qin Zhijian in northern Jiangsu will become the head coach of men's table tennis in the future.

The purpose of their generation of straight plate positive glue to reverse glue is very clear, that is, to strengthen the arc circle ability, strengthen defense and confrontation.

That is to say, the playing style of this generation of reformers is to sacrifice the advantages of some straight boards, and obtain the ability to hold backhands only on horizontal boards by changing the reverse glue.

It was not until the reform of this generation could not stand out in the international community that Lingnan's straight board and anti-glue began to take a new path.

The new generation of straight board anti-glue play represented by Marin highlights the changes of straight board players, dexterity, fast, and anti-glue only plays an auxiliary role in tactics, providing more spin arc assistance for straight board fast attack tactics.

Generally speaking, Wang Fei and Qin Zhijian's generation of straight plate anti-glue hopes to achieve the advantage of horizontal board play with the help of anti-glue. In Marin's generation, the anti-glue is just an auxiliary to the straight board fast attack play!

In the whole long history, it is natural that Ma Lin's generation is more successful in direct shooting and anti-glue, because neither Wang Fei nor Qin Zhijian have achieved achievements in international singles.

However, at the moment in 1991, from the perspective of Huo Dong's strength, Lingnan's more advanced straight anti-glue play has not yet taken shape, but Wang Fei's anti-glue play is already very mature, and it is a stronger holding ability and better defensive play, which just restrains Kong Zhendong's strengths.

On November 23, the quarterfinals of the Table Tennis Association Cup officially started, with four games and one day of competition.

Entering the quarterfinals of the Table Tennis Association Cup include national players Cheng Longcan, Lu Ning and others, as well as Wang Fei, the flag bearer of the provincial team, and the absolute new generation is only Kong Zhendong.

The match between Kong Zhendong and Wang Fei is scheduled for the second game at 10 a.m.

In the first quarter-final match at 8 o'clock in the morning, national player Lu Ning has already taken the lead, and he will use the winner of his peak Rizhi and Kong Zhendong and Wang Fei to compete for a decisive spot.

Kong Zhendong actively prepared for the match with Wang Fei, so he did not watch the game in advance.

Although Wang Fei took good care of his eldest brother in his previous life, Kong Zhendong will still go all out in this game. In his previous life, the civil wars of his teammates on the international stage have forged the hearts of every national table tennis person to be extremely strong.

Winning your brother is the greatest respect for him!

Before kicking off, Kong Zhendong said sincerely to Wang Fei: "Brother Fei, learn from you!" ”

Wang Fei was still a little uncomfortable with Kong Zhendong's sincerity, but he was a bold personality from the Northeast, and he smiled: "I also learn from you!" ”

Wang Fei served first, and the first ball was actually a straight line attack long ball in the backhand position!

Wang Fei also has some research on Kong Zhendong. Although the current conditions are not enough for Wang Fei to study the opponent in advance, as the only seedling of the Heihe provincial team to enter the quarterfinals, the resources of the entire provincial team are serving.

Two or three games ago, there was already a coach of the Heihe team who began to observe and study Kong Zhendong's game on the spot.

According to the research of these coaches, although Kong Zhendong has the soft feel of a short ball in the forehand position, and also has a forehand fight after the backhand continuously controls the ball and gives out opportunities, Kong Zhendong has always lacked the ability to directly deal with the long ball in the forehand position in the first three boards.

Hitting Kong Zhendong's forehand long ball at the beginning is the collective wisdom of the Heihe coaching staff!

At this stage, the forehand long ball is really Kong Zhendong's weakness.

However, Kong Zhendong's biggest advantage in today's game was realized, that is, he was quite familiar with Wang Fei's small movements and micro-expressions.

Through Wang Fei's preparation, Kong Zhendong had already predicted in advance that this was a forehand long ball, so he prepared sideways in advance.

With sideways assistance, Kong Zhendong led the shot fully, and the beautiful forehand return ball was a big slash, and he unexpectedly grabbed the forehand of Wang Fei.
