Chapter 227: Fighting the Decisive Battle Again [4/5 More Seeking to Follow]
He smiled and said to Sith Pan: "Everyone is afraid of Casvaro's basic skills, and his short ball in the table is indeed very strong, but compared to his running power method, Zhendong still chooses to use the table ball to limit him to the near stage, so that his mixed power method in running cannot be used." Zhendong may not be able to score with consecutive short balls, but he can finally take the initiative and attack with long balls. This long ball is the key, it must be killed in one shot, and if Casvaro is allowed to retreat and run back, it will be a failure. ”
Knowing that Casvaro was trained in traditional Chinese basic skills, he still dared to fight with him for basic skills in the ring, so that he could not run, which was Kong Zhendong's genius.
Although not every long ball in the final raid could be scored, Kong Zhendong could still score three or four points on Casvaro's serve.
On the contrary, in Kong Zhendong's service round, Casvaro's receiving skills can not be improved instantly, Kong Zhendong still occupies the absolute initiative in his own service round, scoring 3~4 points in each service round.
After several consecutive rounds of service exchanges, Kong Zhendong scored 13 points, while Casvaro only had 7 points.
The score was 18:12, and it entered Casvaro's final service round.
Of course, if the score is tied at 20:20, Casvaro will get a new serve.
But from the serve wheel to the return round, he never found a way to turn the situation around.
Kong Zhendong was more active in this round of return, and he was determined to end the battle within five balls, not only to win, but also to win in the return link, causing Casvaro enough psychological fluctuations to create conditions for Sith Pan to win the next match.
Kong Zhendong's final serve fight still chose Wang Tao's technical style of play, fast attack near Taiwan, short contact, and did not give Casvaro the opportunity to run and exert his strength after retreating.
After each side scored two points, Kong Zhendong took advantage of the change of pace after the backhand cut to force Casvaro to return the ball to the net.
At 21:14, Kong Zhendong won the first game.
In the stands, Madeleine curled her blonde hair with her fingers in disappointment: "Such a disparity in the score is still based on the opening 5:5 of the two, it seems that it is hopeless to expect this guy to teach Kong Zhendong a lesson." She smiled as she leaned back in the grandstand seats.
In a corner that she and her sister didn't notice, several European journalists lurking in the gymnasium filmed her lazy and playful demeanor like a treasure.
The Victorian sisters arrived in Milan, and dozens of European media outlets heard about it.
From yesterday to tonight, Madeleine tried her best, but in the end, several media tracked them down to change their clothes to civilians.
When these media reporters found out that the Victoria sisters were dressed as girls next door and threw off all the media reporters, they were nervous and excited.
Does this mean that their sisters have some secret dates? Or are you going to an adult nightclub?
As a result, the reporters also dressed up in disguise, followed all the way, and actually entered the stadium of the Milan 1982 team.
As a mainstream European media, he actually mixed into the table tennis hall for an interview? The reporters were so disappointed that they might not get any great news.
But then, with the jinx of the ball game, especially after the start of Kong Zhendong's game, reporters found that the Victoria sisters revealed more and more true temperament.
Especially Victoria, in the past media shots, it was always smiling, dignified, and atmospheric, as nervous, excited, applauding, and regretful as today, such a rich expression of emotions has never been possible.
Compared with Victoria, her younger sister Madeleine is more youthful and beautiful, with a jumpy personality, and is the darling of the European media, but the playful and lazy like today's little girl next door is also a feast for European journalists, and they believe that today's photos will also give readers a feast for their eyes.
After a short break, the second game kicked off.
Kong Zhendong started with five goals.
Although Madeleine is not a particularly knowledgeable table tennis fan, she is completely correct in her judgment of the situation.
Kong Zhendong showed his advantage on both ends of the serve and return in the second half of the first game, and Casvaro did not come up with a way to crack it.
Yang Min also seems to stick to the traditional rules of Chinese players abroad in the Italian team, not giving technical advice to his teammates to beat his compatriots.
Therefore, in the second game, starting from Kong Zhendong's service wheel at the beginning, he established an advantage, and finally won the second game 21:12.
Through Casvaro's technical characteristics, Kong Zhendong knows that although Mi Shuai has left the Milan 1982 team to return to China for almost three years, this team's playing style, basic training, and youth training system still have his deep imprint.
The team's third singles may not be a first- or second-rate European master, but his basic skills and offensive and defensive speed conversion definitely beat the third singles of the Wolverine.
Since it is expected to lose the third game, the only chance for the Wolverines to advance to the table tennis Champions League and meet the top European masters such as Gaiting and Seifer is to maintain a complete victory with Sith Pan in the next two games.
Therefore, in this game, Kong Zhendong's goal is not only to win, but also to save his physical strength and prepare for the later face against Yang Min, and at the same time, through a quick victory, leave a big enough psychological shadow for the young Casvaro to make it difficult for him to recover in the back match against Sith Pan: 2.
Sure enough, as Kong Zhendong expected, the third singles of the Wolverines team was no match for the solid foundation that Mi Xingbang laid for the Milan 1982 team a few years ago.
In the first three games, 1:2, the pressure of arranging the formation was concentrated on Bengesen.
Madeleine in the stands folded her hands and said: "There are not many options for Coach Bengerson, the first is to let the first main force Kong Zhendong play the fourth game to increase the certainty of victory, and then the victory or defeat of Sith Pan in the fifth game is left to fate." This is actually the way most teams choose to set up, and it is the safest way to ensure that the game goes to a tiebreaker. However, there is also a risk that the Skiers will play the fourth game in the league with the first main player Waldner, and thus be cheated by Coach Bengersen to lose a victory. ”
Victoria continued: "Then the second is that Sith Pan plays the fourth game and leaves Kong Zhendong to fight in the decisive game, so as to increase the chance of winning the decisive game, but can Sith 1 Pan ensure a solid win in the fourth game?" If not, then Zhendong will have to watch the game from the sidelines and will not be able to play. ”
Coach Bengersen did swing between two set-up options at this point, but ultimately opted for the second one, letting Sith Pan play the fourth.
Because Sith Pan fought Yang Min in the first game, the opponent in the fourth game will only be Casvaro, who was abused by Kong Zhendong in the second game.
Kong Zhendong's opponent in the decisive game was determined to be the first main force of the Milan team, and Yang Min was straight and glued.
