There is a reason why he suddenly became emotional. The reason is that the German head coach Rohlskov has been too aggressive in foreign forums recently. He has given various interviews and boasted, saying that Hook's stable state is due to his own fault. Dial, saying how he saw the core crux of Hook at a glance, and also said that Hook will definitely win Grand Slam in the future, and he is the Bole, suppressing the entire Huaping with one person.
After seeing too much of these news, Old He is very dissatisfied.
From He Jingping's point of view, Rohlskov is just a blind cat that bumped into a dead rat. It was just a mistake. It didn't even understand the real problem of Hook. It actually dared to talk nonsense. If it were a woman, it would have just sprayed it with a mouthful of salt soda.
So He Jingping was holding back his energy, waiting for Wang Chao to kill Hook, and then he would come and slap him in the face.
As the two explained, Lin Zijun gradually calmed down from the shock.
He said, "Then why defend?"
"The reason is very simple, because you can't beat him in a duel." Wang Chao spread his hands, a little helpless. "You are not as fast as him, not as strong as him, and not as good as him in touch. How can you beat him in a duel?"
"But since he consumes so much mental energy, as long as you hold on, he will definitely collapse." He Jingping said, "No one can last in this state for a long time. Now I look back at last year's finals of Oman Open, Sun Tianlong's victory over Hook is not as difficult as it may seem to outsiders. In fact, the reason why Sun Tianlong can find a lot of opportunities to chase points is because Hook's style of play is bound to reveal flaws."
All tactical systems are the result of Thousand Hammers Hundred Refinements, scientific testing and extensive exploration and correction. If there is no tactical system and all depends on on-the-spot judgment, then mistakes are simply inevitable.
"So as long as we learn how Sun Tianlong defends, we will definitely catch him making mistakes. Theoretically, the more aggressive he attacks, the more mistakes he makes." Wang Chao said, "So don't be afraid of him being aggressive. In fact, it is a good thing that he is aggressive, because the more aggressive he is, the faster he will collapse. The reason why he has stabilized in the recent open games is because Rohlskov asked him not to play so aggressively, which happened to extend the duration of his state."
Lin Zijun accepted this point of view, but after thinking carefully for a long time with a frown, he still felt that he was not sure at all.
"There is only one Sun Tianlong in the world... Even Sun Tianlong can only be blocked. Only with his rich experience can he catch all the flaws, and he is proficient in all techniques and can turn every flaw into points. But Luo Jiu can't do it. He couldn't block the game last month. If that's the case, why can I defend it when I play with him?"
Wang Chao was still very calm and said, "It's actually very simple, you just need to reduce the quality of the returned ball."
When these words came out, there was another low-pitched "Eh" from all directions. The players looked at each other and could see the uncertainty in each other's eyes.
In fact, every point of view put forward by Wang Chao and He Jingping today, to the non-Chinese associations players, has the meaning of not being shocking but never ending.
If they didn't know that this was Swedish Open's official competition venue, they would have every reason to suspect that it was a movie. The screenwriter wrote a drama that was entirely for show, and they unknowingly became passers-by being filmed.
It can be said that today's conversation in the restaurant is very likely to become a famous scene in the history of table tennis. A few years later, it will be called "Restaurant Asking for Suggestions" and "Wang Chao Offering Suggestions", which is similar to the original Hongmen Banquet.
If Hook starts to decline from today, then this moment will become a historical moment with a sense of ritual.
Lin Zijun asked, "If I lower the quality of the ball, won't it make it easier for him to hit me?"
Wang Chao asked back, "You are trying your best to improve the quality of the ball, but can you really block his forced kick?"
Lin Zijun thought for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Not really."
"When Hook plays like crazy, he can pick up any ball and hit it on the stage. The higher the quality of the ball you give him, the higher the quality of the ball when he hits it to you, and the harder it is for you to handle. On the contrary, the ball you give him is not that difficult, and the ball he hits is more normal. From this perspective, the quality of the ball you give him really doesn't matter."
He Jingping explained, "Hook is a very whimsical player. Because he has no system, his playing style often appears to be wild and unpredictable, and it is very difficult to predict. But in fact, everyone must have habitual movements. You only need to hit the ball to the position he is accustomed to, and he will naturally pull out the regular ball you expected."
Wang Chao smiled and said, "This is actually a kind of prediction in advance. If you give him a regular ball, you can roughly know what means he will use to attack. If you prepare yourself mentally in advance, it will be easy to catch the ball. But if you try your best to add quality to him, then he will work hard and the ball he returns to you will be really crazy and unreasonable. By then, you will really be unable to catch it."
This concept is actually not new. The simple explanation is: if you force Hook to play uncomfortable balls, he will also play uncomfortable balls for you. If you make him feel comfortable, he will make you feel comfortable.
In contrast, although Hook's ball is very difficult to catch, the most deadly thing is actually those completely unexpected rotations and line changes. As for the pure power, no matter how great it is, even if it can't be pulled, you can still hit it hard with the racket at the right angle.
"Actually, there is another thing that you haven't realized yet." He Jingping said, "Hook's idea of playing is different from that of all professional players from beginning to end... He has always been playing fighting ball."
Lin Zijun was stunned, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized.
Yes!
A normal person, no matter how strong or fast he is, how can he really hit every ball like a super ball? This itself is unreasonable.
The only explanation can only be that he has been fighting.
Only by fighting can one be so unreasonable.
Only by fighting can he have such a low success rate, which makes him dare to lose even to third-rate players when he loses.
The reason why everyone doesn't realize this is because no one plays like him. Everyone just fights a little bit when they are desperate. How can there be someone who has been fighting since his debut?
The reason why Hook plays like this is because when he was practicing ball when he was a child, he didn't know the right way to play. He subconsciously felt that he had to do his best with every stroke and beat the opponent to death with one stroke.
But in fact, they only work hard during competitions. Most of the time when practicing, players just maintain basic strength. What matters is to first develop the posture, then stabilize the handle, and master various techniques. Finally, they will study the actual combat experience.
Hook is just the other way around.
He has been fighting like this for more than ten years. Even in fighting, he has become accustomed to fighting. Others cannot fight like this because their bodies cannot bear it, but Hook can bear it, so he doesn't feel that he is playing wrong at all.
"Actually, hardness cannot be sustained and softness cannot be defended. This is a wise saying that cannot be violated. With this full-range fighting style, it is impossible for him to achieve a stable state in any case. Therefore, some people outside said a while ago that Hook would be invincible if he was stable. This statement is wrong, because without this kind of if, he would not be stable at all."
"Actually, Hook still has a very deep hidden danger." Wang Chao added, "Playing fighting ball is too harmful to the body. I guess he won't be able to bear it as he gets a little older."
When he said this, he thought of Dragon Team.
Just because he wanted to suppress himself, Dragon Team played two games that spared no effort in fighting. As a result, the entire first half of the schedule was wasted.
Lin Zijun understood it completely. He pinched his eyebrows with his left hand and kept stuffing food into his mouth with his right hand. The faster his mind thought, the faster his mouth chewed. This scene looked a bit funny, but the atmosphere was serious.
After a long time, Lin Zijun stopped, raised his head, and said with a grimace, "I don't think I can do it."
Wang Chao looked at him innocently.
The method has been given to him, and Wang Chao really can't help with the rest.
Lin Zijun's golf IQ is very high. He has extreme speed and can keep up with Hook. He has enough wisdom to understand things about prediction. Although he is not subtle, he still has excellent touch. Theoretically, as long as he can predict the path of Hook's ball, he can deal with Hook's attack by hard hitting.
Of course, this is only theoretical.
That's why when Lin Zijun first heard Lin Zijun's request for advice, Wang Chao shook his head first and then nodded.
Shaking your head means you can't do it.
Nodding means that it is theoretically possible for you to do it.
Lin Zijun sighed and said, "So, is this the only way?"
Wang Chao shook his head. "More than that."
As mentioned earlier, this question has two meanings.
He has already answered the question about how Lin Zijun himself defeated Hook, and what he will talk about next is another way that other players can theoretically defeat Hook.
This is also one of the correct answers to the post on Silver Ball Dance Forum.
"That is to fight violence with violence." Wang Chao affirmed. "Although Hook's ball is powerful enough, it is not consistent, so the stability must be insufficient. Once someone can confront him head-on, he will only need to fight three boards at most, and he will definitely reveal his flaws."
Lin Zijun smiled bitterly, "It should be difficult to find such a person, right?"
"Yes, it is very difficult." He Jingping said, "He must have enough strength, steady enough steps, and good continuity. He must also have a complete tactical system to ensure that he will not be unbalanced or weak under continuous exertion. Finally, he must have a final kill. Otherwise, even if he disrupts Hook's rhythm, he may not be able to beat Hook to death."
"Another point is that he needs to have a very fast nervous reaction speed." Wang Chao added, "His steps may not be that fast, but his movement reactions must keep up. After all, if you want to fight with him, you must at least get through the first three boards to get the qualification to stalemate with Hook."
The men's 8-for-4 game kicked off early the next morning.
The first game is Lin Zijun vs Hook.
Lin Zijun played this game completely different from China Open last month.
On China Open, he tried his best to speed up and reverse, and he fought hard with Hook, shouting passionately, but in the end, he was forcibly suppressed by Hook.
This time he slowed down his pace and even seemed to have no fighting spirit. He gave the ball more to the forehand position of Hook. The ball was still very low and close, but it did not turn that much, and it was not given at a very wide angle.
He is letting Hook attack.
Facts have proved that Wang Chao and He Jingping's judgments were correct. When he gave Hook high-quality regular balls, Hook would only counterattack with higher-quality regular balls.
The focus is not on quality, but on routine.
When Hook starts hitting reasonable balls, his balls are not so difficult to catch.
In this game, Lin Zijun scored a lot of defensive points and very few offensive points.
In the end, he still failed to beat Hook and lost 4:2, which was exactly the same as the big score on China Open last month.
But in fact, last month, he was determined to fight to the death, performed exceptionally, and was exhausted and almost collapsed, and finally achieved a 4:2 record.
This time, he was mostly trying, constantly testing, thinking, and adjusting on the court. Strictly speaking, his game state was average and he was not released. There was no shouting or passion throughout the game, but he still scored a 4:2 score. This can only prove that the method Wang Chao gave him was effective.
He will continue to study and have a good sense of proportion. Next time he encounters Hook, he may have a chance to win.
Of course, the premise is that Hook can continue to be stable.
At this point, Lin Zijun ended the journey of Swedish Open, and the final result was only the top eight.
(Brothers, please allow me to do the second update for a few more days. I will save some articles and then resume the third update. Don't worry, keep chasing, chasing, chasing!)
