How on earth do we defeat Hook?
This question actually has two meanings.
The post on the forum wants to ask: Is there a universal and feasible solution to defeat Hook? This kind of plan must be imitable and replicable, so that many professional players can do it after targeted training.
What Lin Zijun wants to ask Wang Chao is: Is there any way for me to defeat Hook.
Wang Chao hesitated for a moment, shook his head first, and then nodded.
He said, "Yes, but it is difficult."
Lin Zijun suddenly showed joy and said, "What should I do?"
In fact, Wang Chao was not eating alone in the restaurant. There was He Jingping with him, but He Jingping was sitting on the side and just happened to be carrying the plate to pick up the food, so Lin Zijun didn't see it.
At this moment, He Jingping had come back. He put down his dinner plate and sat down when he heard the question behind Lin Zijun.
At this moment, the master and the disciple looked at each other, with a sense of probing and comparing each other, and almost said the same answer at the same time, "Defense."
Yes, defense.
Can only defend.
Only defense.
The way to defeat Hook must be defense.
Lin Zijun was a little surprised, and at the same time there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
He played for Table Tennis First Division for several months, and watched his teammate Liang Kunpeng travel to the imperial capital several times, enter Chinese Table Tennis training base for closed special training, and go abroad to compete under the leadership of Chen Taolue. He was actually a little envious of the national team players of China Table Tennis Team.
Because Huaping's teaching resources are much richer than those he received at Bay Island.
It's not that Jiang Peirong treats him badly. In fact, Jiang Peirong just treats him as his own son.
But when he really encounters difficulties, the Bay Island Table Tennis Association's ability cannot really help him.
He had discussed it many times with Jiang Peirong before coming to Wang Chao. Jiang Peirong watched his entire game and carefully analyzed and studied Hook's video, but unfortunately, he could not think of any way. He did not have this ability.
This is normal.
After all, Jiang Peirong's biggest achievement as a player was just teaming up with a player from the Chinese Table Tennis Team to win a bronze medal in the Asian Games mixed doubles. If you ask a mixed bronze medalist to do what a Grand Slam player should do, what can he do?
How to defeat Hook?
This is a proposition that non-Chinese associations has no answer for almost all professional players.
But in a place like Huaping, Lin Zijun actually got two answers directly.
Both men gave the same answer.
This has nothing to do with tacit understanding, coincidence, fate, etc., nor does it mean that there is a destined mysterious connection between Wang Chao and He Jingping. In the world of materialist dialectics, this can only mean one thing: this answer is most likely the standard answer.
Wang Chao was not in a hurry to explain. He asked Lin Zijun: "Have you ever thought carefully about why Hook is so unstable when playing games? He obviously has a high IQ and super concentration, but he loses control at every turn. The state he presents is very similar to being distracted and absent-minded. Don't you think this is unreasonable?"
Lin Zijun was stunned.
He always analyzed the problem from a technical perspective in the video, and at most he only analyzed the players' batting habits. As for why Hook was like this, he had never thought about such a thing.
But it is obvious that both Wang Chao and He Jingping have thought about this problem and come up with the answer.
At this moment, Lin Zijun once again felt the profound gap between non-Chinese associations and Huaping. The two sides did not even have the same vision and height when analyzing the problem.
They only wanted to restrain Hook's technology, but Wang Chao and He Jingping wanted to see Hook through.
This is also normal.
After all, he just wants to defeat an opponent, while Huaping always thinks about suppressing an era and every super genius in this era.
"In fact, the conclusion is very obvious. It is because Hook's style of play consumes a lot of brain power, mental power and concentration. It is so large that it has exceeded his physical consumption. It is precisely because of the excessive mental consumption that he will continue to perform abnormally, and The reason why he has stabilized in recent months is not because Rohlskov's guidance really played a big role in him, but because the corrections he made under Rohlskov's suggestions happened to reduce his mental consumption, that's all."
After saying this, the scene became a little quiet. Lin Zijun frowned slightly and thought carefully. Outside this table, there were many professional players leaning over from a distance. They pretended to chat casually and picked up food, but in fact they strained their ears to hear what was being said here.
After all, when Lin Zijun came to ask for advice just now, he did not hide anything and spoke confidently, so his voice was slightly louder. However, professional players generally have good hearing, and many of them know only a little bit of Chinese.
They already know that Wang Chao is talking about the problem they have been thinking about for several months.
The way they are secretly listening to the class now is very similar to the way those children who had no money to go to private school in ancient times were lying on the windowsill.
"But... what did he do? Why did he consume so much mental energy?" Lin Zijun thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
He always thought he was a smart person. When he used to practice with Jiang Peirong, Jiang Peirong would usually only speak half of his words and let him figure it out on his own, but now he gave up and decided to lie down and wait for Wang Chao to answer his questions.
"Hook's playing style is actually problematic, but his physical fitness is really too abnormal. Extreme Speed Talent covers up the almost fatal flaws in his playing style." Wang Chao smiled and said, "Since you have studied so many of his games, haven't you found that his connection is actually very strange?"
Seeing that Lin Zijun remained silent, he prompted again. "You yourself also have Extreme Speed Talent. Didn't you find that Hook's top speed is different from yours?"
Lin Zijun thought about it carefully for a few seconds, and then there was a slight tremor all over his body.
He really thought of it!
When he watched the video of Hook, no matter how he watched it, he felt it was not smooth.
Even though Hook's movements are extremely fast, and his forehand and backhand attack connection speed has exceeded 90% of professional players in the world, but when Lin Zijun looks at it, there is always a feeling that Hook's movements are jerky.
He thought this was just his illusion, because he used a stopwatch to count the number of times Hook hit the ball in unit time, and found that Hook hit the ball more times than he did.
If that's the case, how can you say it's not smooth?
This is already the world's top connection, right?
It wasn't until Wang Chao talked about the same problem that Lin Zijun suddenly realized that he had ignored the most important issue.
It's not that the more shots you hit per unit of time, the smoother you will be.
Fluency should be an attitude of being at ease, a graceful posture that is natural and traceless when switching between forehand and backhand, and a state of technical perfection and effortlessness.
But Hook's forehand and backhand are clearly switched abruptly.
This shows that Hook has no habit of forming a continuous forehand and backhand routine at all. He does it by force, forcing the left hand to hit the ball, and then forcing the right hand to hit the ball. If the posture cannot keep up, then he relies on footwork to make it up.
Therefore, his high-speed connection is not logical, but forcibly spliced. If you want to use a metaphor, it is like when a kung fu movie director shoots a fighting scene, he does not let the two actors actually have a fast-fighting confrontation on the camera. Instead, he shoots many individual moves and actions, adds them together, and then plays them at double speed, thereby giving the audience the illusion that "they move very quickly."
Lin Zijun finally caught some of Wang Chao's thoughts. "You mean... his technique... no, his tactical system... is problematic?"
"Yes." He Jingping interjected from the side, nodding very firmly. "I can basically confirm that Hook does not have a complete tactical system."
At this moment, the sound of breathing came from many places in all directions, and the children who secretly listened to the class could not even hide their inner shock.
Is it possible that a super master who can suppress Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu in terms of forehand and backhand skills and Taiwan's offensive ability does not even have the most basic tactical system?
You know, even if you are a professional player, as long as you enter the professional field and have your own coach, you will definitely have a tailor-made tactical system. The difference is just how good or bad this system is.
For example, Qi Hao, it was because his coaching coach Coach Cheng Aimin was afraid of difficulties and did not help him solve his most fatal flaw, which resulted in problems with the system he created. This made Qi Hao unable to stabilize in the next few years and became a mess of "civil war between insiders and outsiders".
Chinese table tennis players have been able to suppress non-Chinese associations for decades, of course, not because Chinese people are inherently more suitable for table tennis than foreigners, but because the technical and tactical systems of most Chinese national team players are to outperform foreign opponents with the same talent and hard power.
This shows how important and fundamental the tactical system is.
It is like the natal flying sword of a swordsman, accompanying a player throughout his life.
But Hook doesn't have a tactical system?
Is this like a swordsman who doesn't have a sword and has to find a sword to make do every duel?
Is this possible?
But this is what He Jingping said.
In the past six months, He Jingping has become the world's number one coach in the eyes of the world's table tennis circles, with a miraculous Midas touch. His words have unparalleled authority.
Wang Chao ignored those eavesdropping ears and continued directly what He Jingping said, "Because he does not have a complete tactical system, when he plays, he needs to concentrate as much as possible to observe the direction of each ball, analyze the changes of each ball, and then try his best to predict the opponent. Fang's next move has no fixed routine. When faced with the same ball, he handles it as he pleases. This time he may feel through observation that he can attack, but the next time through observation he feels that he can only swing short. This uncertainty in his judgment is closely related to his current physical condition and competitive state."
He Jingping smiled and said, "So he even has to pay attention to his physical condition at all times to make sure that what he thinks of is what he can do... Do you think he can be tired with his style of play?"
Lin Zijun has been dumbfounded.
The whole world thought that Hook didn't care about physical strength when playing basketball. But he found out today that Hook really doesn't care about brain power.
"This is not difficult to understand. Don't forget, Hook is from South America after all." Wang Chao explained, "In this ping-pong desert, who can help him build a tactical system? If he wants to win, he can only rely on his own observation, thinking, and understanding. He did not directly go to Germany to play, but made his way step by step before being signed by a German club. Therefore, he actually did not have a coach in the most important stage of finalizing the tactical system."
Speaking of this, Wang Chao actually felt a little emotional.
In essence, Hook is actually a wild ball player, and he belongs to the category of amateur players.
But his talent was too high and he worked too hard, so he was able to turn wild football into a career, and even reached a height that is beyond the reach of most professional players.
In fact, there is another person similar to Hook in this Open, that is, Arul from Nigeria, Africa. However, Arul received guidance from a local Nigerian professional player when he was young. Although that professional player was very good, he was knowledgeable and responsible. He was clumsy but tried his best to create a system for Arul. Although it was simple, it was reasonable.
Therefore, Arul could continuously improve the system in the following years of his playing career and gradually expand his closed loop, until this time he completed a miracle and defeated Qiu Shang.
He Jingping continued, "Hook is now playing in the club league at Germany, but his strength has reached this point, and his playing style has also formed deep-rooted habits. Let's not talk about whether the German club coaches have the ability to discover his problems. Even if they do, who would dare to give him technical improvements? What if Hook's strength suddenly collapses? "Who can bear this responsibility?
He paused, suddenly felt a little proud, and sneered, "In his situation, even if it were put to Huaping, the entire coaching staff together would not dare to take action easily, let alone a mere German?"
