Table tennis: Swinging the racket billions of times, achieving a grand slam

Chapter 57 [057] Horizontal and Vertical Battle (3)

Wang Liqin did not witness the "friendly match" between Xie Mingyang and Chen Jin.

But just from the result of the game "three bests in five games, only getting three small game points", we can get a glimpse of the whole picture.

There is indeed a gap in strength between the two.

Moreover, such a gap cannot be made up by just two days of intensive training.

After carefully asking Chen Jin about the speed measurement and the entire competition process.

"It's also fortunate that you are so proud and played this friendly match with Chen Jin in advance, so you know the gap between you two."

"Otherwise, if you suddenly meet him in the candidate trials and get beaten up by him like this, your mentality will be completely broken."

Wang Liqin unraveled the situation, combined with his own extensive experience, analyzed and summarized, and gave Xie Mingyang targeted training.

The first is the problem of the ball on the table.

The solution is simple, "The opponent has a straight blade, which gives him a natural advantage on the table, so don't fight with him too much on the table."

Second, backhand defense.

As one of the kings of the "Two Wangs and One Ma" era, Wang Liqin has spent almost his entire career competing with straight-blade players.

more importantly.

Each straight blade has a different playing style.

Therefore, Wang Liqin has a lot of experience in dealing with straight-blade instruments.

With the continuous changes in equipment, although straight-blade boards have introduced horizontal hitting techniques, they still have two obvious disadvantages compared to horizontal-blade boards.

Forehand and backhand connection!
Backhand continuous!

Especially the backhand continuity is difficult to compete with the horizontal board.

Looking back to the past, Wang Hao, the "master of straight-blade horizontal and vertical strokes" and "two-sided heavy artillery", used his backhand to continuously pull the ball up at the 09 Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships, and was even able to compete with Wang Liqin's forehand without losing the upper hand.

however.

Later facts proved that only Wang Hao was good at continuous backhand hitting with a straight-blade.

The horizontal hitting technique, although advanced, even affected the backhand system of the entire world table tennis world.

It can be practiced with a straight board, which has higher requirements on fingers and wrists.

The reason why Wang Hao is able to have such a fierce backhand streak is largely due to his personal talent and physical fitness.

Ten years have passed since Wang Hao retired. He is a straight-blade horizontal player and reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted.

Even though the "Golden Left Straight" Xu Xin emerged later, he was still unable to reach the level of Wang Hao in terms of horizontal hitting.

After all, not everyone can have an iron fist like Wang Hao.

not to mention.

At Chen Jin's age, the strength of his arms and wrists is incomparable.

In the era of large ABS plastic balls, no matter how high the quality of the backhand single board is, it will be useless if there is no continuity.

Based on this, the real tactic that Wang Liqin arranged for Xie Mingyang was to do everything possible, at any cost, to suppress Chen Jin's backhand position!
"I know the backhand of a straight-blade very well. Looking at the world table tennis today, there is no one who can have a backhand as good as Wang Hao's."

"So, just feel free to press his backhand boldly, and you don't even need to actively exert force. Just retreat to defend, and he will naturally make mistakes."

of course.

In addition to this tactic.

For Xie Mingyang, there is something more important about this game.

——Get your confidence back!
In the previous fight, Xie Mingyang was abused so badly by Chen Jin that he still has lingering fears.

Especially against Chen Jin’s forehand burst.

It was like a nightmare.

Although Xie Mingyang didn't say it, deep in his heart, he was already shrouded in darkness.

Fortunately, Wang Liqin was very observant and keenly noticed this from Xie Mingyang's words, actions and expressions.

"In the era of big balls, no matter how explosive and rushing the ball is, where can it go?"

This is Wang Liqin’s evaluation.

When sparring, he even asked someone to find organic glue and expanding oil.

After applying oil and filling with glue, he finally went on stage himself.

The power of his explosive charge was as strong as ever.

After two days of training, Xie Mingyang gradually adapted to the powerful backhand defense.

At the same time, I also gained more experience.

1: 3.

The score is behind.

Instead of being discouraged, Xie Mingyang gained more confidence: "Director Wang is right. We should retreat and defend ourselves."

"No matter how explosive or aggressive the ball is, as long as you actively retreat from the table to release the force, you can defend it back and avoid being hit by the opponent."

Take a deep breath.

The haze in Xie Mingyang's heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"The next step is to find a way to suppress him and then counterattack."

Xie Mingyang held the ping-pong ball in his hand, with a strategy already in mind.

He blew air into his palm and glanced over, only to see that Chen Jin had already prepared to receive the serve.

Higher than sixteen centimeters from the hand.

When the ping-pong ball fell down, Xie Mingyang shook his wrist and the racket moved like a pendulum.

Counter-spin serve.

The ping-pong ball, with a strong reverse spin, crossed the net and flew to the opponent's landing point slightly left of the center.

Chen Jin was quite steady and took short steps forward.

"Don't dwell on the stage too much!"

Wang Liqin's instructions rang in his ears, and Xie Mingyang decisively chopped off the opponent's sword.

The low arc, strong backspin, and the landing point in the bottom corner all demonstrate Xie Mingyang's ability in long-splitting shots.

Chen Jin quickly stepped back from the stage.

At the same time, squat down, lower your arms and relax them, and bend your wrists inward to accumulate strength.

Facing the initial descent of the incoming ball.

Power rises from the ground.

The forearm suddenly accelerated, and the fingers and wrists tensed instantly, like cracking a whip.

"laugh!"

Not much power, but strong spin.

The ping-pong ball almost hit the net and flew towards Xie Mingyang's backhand.

Xie Mingyang raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that Chen Jin's ball was spinning so terribly that if he was not careful, it would fly out of bounds with just the slightest touch.

"Even if it's a Scud missile, I'm going to take it down for you this time!"

Gritting his teeth.

Seeing where the ball would land, Xie Mingyang held the board and his body's center of gravity tightly.

"Snapped!"

The moment the ping-pong ball hits the backhand racket.

Xie Mingyang could even feel the friction of the high-speed rotation on the rubber, as if it wanted to penetrate the entire racket.

“What a powerful loop!”

Xie Mingyang was shocked.

But fortunately, he used all his strength and finally held the ball.

And Chen Jinye has made preparations for the transition.

Jump up and lean your center of gravity forward.

Facing the landing point of the incoming ball, draw your forearm inward and slightly lower your wrist.

Withstand the rising period.

"Snapped!"

It's like swinging a horsewhip backwards; the arc of the movement is not large, but the force is exerted with every inch.

The strength from the feet, waist, abdomen, forearms and wrists instantly gathers at the hitting point and explodes out.

The power is so great and the ball is so fast.

Xie Mingyang was shocked again: "Want to backhand and tear it through?"

Quickly retreat back to the stage.

Fortunately, he managed to defend it with his backhand.

however.

Chen Jin showed no mercy and tore his opponent apart with several blows in a row.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

……

Each board is more violent than the last.

Once again, Xie Mingyang was forced to retreat to the stage before he could barely defend himself.

This scene.

Not only Xie Mingyang, but even Wang Liqin outside the court was dumbfounded: "What kind of power is this backhand?"

Compared to Wang Hao's vigorous and continuous backhand swings, Chen Jin's backhand movements are smaller but the force is more concentrated.

What Wang Liqin didn't expect was...

Chen Jin's backhand was constantly explosive, and his stability was no less than that of Wang Hao at his peak.

"Could it be that... the straight board is really going to see the light of day again in this kid's hands?"

Looking at Chen Jin who was at ease on the court, Wang Liqin muttered to himself.
