I have previously written an article on straight board play, entitled "The Profound Thinking of a Straight Board Fan: The Demise of Straight Board Play, Why is It Historically Inevitable"? It has been widely circulated, which has aroused great controversy and attracted a lot of attention.
Today I want to talk about the straight board play, fried cold rice is not interesting, change a new perspective, analysis and discussion "why after Wang Hao, straight board horizontal pull no one after"?
Personally, I think that to understand this problem is also to indirectly figure out why there is no successor to the straight board play.
It is enough to talk about the new ideas that you can think of, if you can inspire everyone in the slightest. Thinking means that there is a possibility of change.
1. It has its form, but its soul
Many golfers say, "Who said there was no one to follow the straight-line? Xu Xin, Zhao Zihao, Xue Fei, Huang Zhenting, Zheng Peifeng, who recently retired from the army, and Fan Shengpeng, who are currently in service, all have very good straight-board horizontal hitting technology!"
Just like after Marlene, there is no authentic Chinese straight-panel anti-glue player. After Wang Hao, what others had was only the technology of straight board hitting, but what they lost was the inner soul.
Such a statement is a bit heavy. Not what I wanted, but it was true.
In the era when Wang Hao was active in the world table tennis world, the straight board horizontal pull could definitely compete with the horizontal board backhand, and even before Zhang Jike appeared, for a long time, Wang Liqin's forehand and Wang Hao's backhand were recognized benchmarks in the industry.
After Wang Hao, the straight plate horizontal pull together with the straight board playing style quickly declined, and in the competition with the horizontal board, the naked eye could see the downwind.
Whether it is Xu Xin, Zhao Zihao, Huang Zhenting or the young player Xue Fei, whether it is facing the top opponents Ma Long, Fan Zhendong or ordinary foreign players, the weakness of the straight backhand has once again been infinitely magnified, just like Jiang Jialiang Chen Longcan, who was hammered by the old Vapersen.
Such a situation has to make the straight board play heartbreaking, the active straight board cold, and the latecomers cold.
2. People and technology, one prosperity and one loss
I often wonder whether it is because of the "human" factor (Wang Hao's extraordinary talent) or because of the "technology" itself (the complexity of the straight plate horizontal pull), making the straight plate horizontal pull technology difficult to carry forward?
Such a question, to be honest, is difficult to find an answer to.
Just as after reverse thinking, ask "Wang Hao's straight plate horizontal pull is very strong"? Whether Wang Hao is a strong person or a strong straight-panel horizontal pulling technique in his hand, it is difficult to answer.
However, one thing can be confirmed: people and technology must be mutual achievements, and one prosperity and one loss are lost.
Wang Hao is famous all over the world for his straight-panel horizontal pulling technology; straight-panel horizontal pulling meets Wang Hao, who is not born, and carries it forward.
3. Trend, unstoppable
The rise and fall of a thing is absolutely comprehensive and overall, and will not be a single aspect.
There may not be another sport, encountered a drastic change like table tennis, from the format level of 21 points to 11 points, from the technical level of no shielding serve, to the equipment level of 38 mm balls to 40 mm large balls, organic glue to inorganic glue, the material from celluloid to new materials, 40 mm balls again increased to 40 +, one by one, has changed the sport to "unrecognizable".
Elegant and highly skilled table tennis has come infinitely closer to its original English meaning of "table tennis" - simple and violent. Whether you like it or not, this is a megatrend that is irreversible.
Under such a trend, the horizontal board play method of opening and closing more widely, with sufficient force and free conversion, is like a fish in the water, and it is advancing by leaps and bounds. The skill-oriented, delicate and precise, congenitally defective straight-board playing style is becoming more and more difficult to walk.
The trend is huge, unstoppable, limiting the length of the straight board control, the shortness of the leakage straight board, there is no egg under the nest, the straight board playing method is still difficult to continue, as a component of the straight board playing method, the straight board horizontal pull technology is becoming increasingly unsupported in the confrontation with the horizontal board backhand, in fact, it is completely predictable.
This is the root cause.
4. The fatal drawbacks of straight plate horizontal pulling
Coach Wu Jingping once said a very worthy of consideration, "It is not that the straight-and-horizontal pulling technique is not good, but the grass-roots coaches will not teach"!
The interesting thing about this idea is that at first hearing, almost everyone will think it is a criticism. However, repeated thinking has revealed the fatal drawbacks of straight-sided pulling.
Even if it is roughly calculated, since Wang Hao lost to Liu Chengmin at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, it has been 17 or 18 years, such a long period of time, enough to create a generation of athletes, but unfortunately, as Wang Hao's super dominance is straight, we have never seen it again, not one. After Wang Hao, not to mention the forehand of the opponent with the horizontal pull hard bar, the backhand to the backhand link, the straight board is more and more than more than enough and insufficient.
The facts themselves speak.
The glory or loss of one person may be an example; the "loss" of a group of people may have told us the answer.
I have no intention of offending Wu Jingping's guidance, but only lay out the facts and reason. I believe that the majority of table tennis grassroots coaches in China are hardworking and attentive, and there is no less than 20 years of exploration and accumulation period, why can't the straight-line horizontal pulling technology continue to export strongmen?
Because the technology of straight-panel horizontal pulling itself has limitations - it is difficult to learn and more difficult to refine. In my opinion, this is the direct reason why there is no successor to the straight board, and this is true for amateur majors.
Perhaps, Wu Guidance does have the top password of straight and horizontal pulling in his mind, but with all due respect, we cannot require all grassroots coaches to have the business ability of Wu Guidance, which is unrealistic and impossible.
A technology whose essence cannot be accurately passed on and widely promoted, and no one can predict the inevitable.
5. Write the words at the end
The general trend of increasingly simple and rough table tennis, coupled with the characteristics of the straight board horizontal pulling technology " is difficult to learn and more difficult to refine" is doomed to have a successor after Wang Hao.
The breakthrough of a single technology is still a long way, and the whole straight board playing style is reborn, which is even more difficult to ascend to the sky?
On the one hand, it is the playing style that can mass-produce the champion, on the other hand, the playing style that only geniuses can achieve great things, and the amateur straight board can continue to play, and the tomorrow of the professional straight board is really unpretentious.
The vast majority of truths in the world are often cruel!
