Chengdu Table Tennis Mixed Team World Cup, although the national table tennis defeated the Japanese team with a total score of 8:5, but it was the first time to play the fifth set, although it was relying on the overall strength of the advantage to defeat the Japanese team, but in the individual events exposed a lot of problems, especially Fan Zhendong lost 1:2 to Zhang Ben Zhihe.
After the game, Fan Zhendong also made a summary of himself, Fan Zhendong said: It is not that he is not a bad transfer, but that he is preparing before the game, including the speed of adjustment in the middle of the game, is still slow, and he did not play some state until the third game, and his ability to get rid of difficulties in the face of such a short format is still not enough. Looking at the whole game, it can indeed be seen that Fan Zhendong's performance in the first two games and the third game can be said to be completely different.
Judging from the game itself, Fan Zhendong obviously played a tactical core in the first two games, which was the control of the ball in the table. In the first two games, Fan Zhendong was basically swinging short, or rubbing, and did not start directly from the long ball. Because Fan Zhendong's advantage lies in holding the ball, as long as Fan Zhendong splits long and directly enters the topspin ball, it will not be easy for Zhang Benzhihe to speed up.
It was precisely because of the short ball in the doutai that it gave Zhang Benzhihe the opportunity to get started first. Tomokazu Zhang is a speed-based style of play, that is, he needs to get started first to speed up before he can play an advantage to suppress the opponent. And Fan Zhendong's short ball just gave Zhang Benzhihe a chance to speed up, and Zhang Benzhihe's backhand backhand tearing forehand pick can be said to be how to play. Once Zhang Benzhihe sped up first, Fan Zhendong was completely passive. It wasn't until the third game that Fan Zhendong began to rub the middle length and the backhand bottom line was long, so he played his own style.
But why does Fan Zhendong know that his advantage is in the first, but he still wants to hit the point that he is relatively not good at?We all know that Fan Zhendong is the world's No. 1, he is the world's research object, and Fan Zhendong's entire technical system is actually relatively simple, but because the overall strength is too thick, there are really few who can really beat him.
It is precisely because it is relatively simple, so with the passage of time and the in-depth study of Fan Zhendong, Fan Zhendong will actually gradually become passive. In other words, if Fan Zhendong does not continue to improve his relatively weak parts, sooner or later he will overturn.
That's why Fan Zhendong is now constantly trying to fight short even in the face of such a speed-type player. If you have been practicing by yourself, playing weak hands, and not practicing with masters in competitions, you will never know how much you have strengthened and whether it is useful. This is Fan Zhendong's determination.
