In the last issue of winter melon, we took stock of the five major tempers of national table tennis, and at the request of the majority of fans, today we will take stock of the table tennis straight board hall-level stars.
Straight-pat play is the tradition of our national ball, with the small change of table tennis, the advantages of straight boards are no longer prominent, and it is difficult to see the style of straight board players in many international competitions. However, it is still widely popular in the field of amateur players, one is derived from feelings, and the other is that the amateur circle golfer technology is not systematic and immature, leaving a lot of living space for the straight board. Today, Donggua will talk to you about several historical and transformative straight figures in the history of table tennis.
The first place is the founder of the single-sided positive glue Rong Guotuan
Rong Guotuan
Speaking of Rong Guotuan, I believe many people know that his fame seems to have a greater impact than table tennis itself, because this is the first world champion in China's sports industry!
Under the objective conditions of single-sided positive glue, he created a new technology of hair rotation and non-rotation, rubbing and non-rotation. The straight board serve rush attack, near the platform fast attack used to the extreme, in the attack, draw, kill, cut, rub, push and other straight board technology is quite accomplished, coupled with tactical flexibility and changeable, in a long period of time led the trend of one-sided straight board.
Rong Guotuan won the men's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships in 1959, which was the first world championship in China's sports industry, and the first team championship of china's World Table Tennis Championships in 1961. It can be said that he is the founder of China's table tennis industry.
The second is Guo Yuehua, a reformer who changed single-sided positive glue to anti-glue
Guo Yuehua
Guo Yuehua won a total of 8 world championships in his career, which can be said to be the leader of that era, and at the same time, he also ended the 15-year-long trough of Chinese men's table tennis.
After the advent of the arc ball at that time, it brought trouble to the traditional playing style of national table tennis for a long time. And Guo Yuehua is at the forefront of the times, under the premise of adhering to the straight board, he is changing the reverse, choosing the right hand to shoot the anti-glue, and the arc circle combines with the fast attack method. Compared with other arc players, he stands slightly closer to the platform, the speed of attack is fast, the middle and far platform forehand pull the arc, the body balance is very strong, and the strong push of the backhand is enough to make the opponent tremble and panic. In addition, servings are also his specialty, especially his varied high-throw serves, which often allow him to win the initiative at the beginning of the game.
The third place is Liu Guoliang, the promoter of the straight board front and back glue two-sided play
Liu Guoliang
Many people know Liu Guoliang, that is, the fat man who does not understand the ball, but in the field of Chinese table tennis technology innovation, this fat man can be said to be indispensable, and his playing style has also played a great guiding role in the amateur field.
Liu Guoliang is the core of the tactics to serve and attack, he serves superbly, has many changes, strong rotation, and fierce attack. And this is also the current amateur circle straight board master around the technical core of progress, the use of two sides of the rubber performance is different, the inverted board serve to create greater confusion for the opponent, so as to grab the initiative.
In addition, Liu Guoliang is also the first player to adopt the combination of backhand push and straight-tapping horizontal play technology in official matches and succeed, and has made practical exploration contributions to the direct-shot horizontal playing technology. He is different from Wang Hao, Liu Guoliang's backhand is more of a transition, or occasionally, it is an exploration, not a mature use, but it is this occasional but can get a miracle effect in the game, so Donggua believes that the amateur player's straight board horizontal play should learn more from Liu Guoliang, rather than Wang Hao, must Wang Hao have an innate foundation, and Liu Guoliang is a technical change in the middle, from the perspective of game stability, amateur players can only be used as a technical supplement, not as the main scoring means of the backhand.
Fourth place: Wang Hao, the creator of the ultimate use of straight boards
Wang Hao
Wang Hao has won 18 world championships in his career, 3 into the men's singles final of the World Table Tennis Championships and 3 into the Olympic men's singles final. In the contemporary world table tennis world where the strong players are lined up, his straight board can be described as unique.
Wang Hao should be said to be a more legendary athlete, he is the only member of the national table tennis men's team to participate in the Olympic Games three times, so that the straight board horizontal playing style has become the mainstream playing style of table tennis, and in terms of the results of the team competition in these years, Wang Hao is the team with the highest winning rate and the most stable player.
His straight-tapping and horizontal hitting has created and led a new straight-tapping method, which is a completely subversive innovation of the traditional straight-slapping method, and has opened up a new path for the straight-slapping method to face the world and the future. The arc circle combines the fast attack method, the forehand is lethal, the middle and far platform has a strong ability to pull each other, the backhand completely abandons the push and block, and uses the reverse side to rub, block, twist, pull, tear, bullet and rush, forming a complete and powerful backhand attack and defense system, and realizing the straight shot and horizontal shooting.
The significance of straight board horizontal play is that he maintains the sharpness and dexterity of the traditional straight board, and at the same time can compete with the horizontal board in the backhand position, so Wang Hao's straight board playing style can be said to have created a new era.
Fifth place: Marlene, a reviver of the straight-line traditional retro play
Miranda
In the view of Dong Gua, compared with many two-sided arc playing methods, Marlene's straight board is not advanced at the level of playing style, relying more on the polishing of technology, super stride positioning, and meticulous feel. It can be said that Marlene is the strongest version of the traditional Chinese straight-tapping method, which perfectly integrates rotation, arcing, and direct-slapping counter-hitting, solving the fatal technical problems of single-sided positive glue or anti-glue in the past, and his playing style is fast, accurate, clever, fierce, turning, and rushing.
Marlene's straight board relies more on good feel, fast footwork, and careful calculation. Its first three board technology in today's table tennis world no one can be right, the serve changes a lot, the confusion is strong, often can create opportunities to rush; The pick in the stage can pick both straight lines and slashes, especially the quality of the sideways board of violent picks is very high; Skilled in forehand quick banding. Its signature sideways dash is its main scoring ploy.
Marlene's backhand is characterized by pushing and blocking combined with straight board horizontal play, although there is no Horizontal Strike System of Wang Hao, but when circling with the opponent's backhand, combining a board side cut can effectively disrupt the rhythm of the opponent, and at any time sideways use the forehand to solve the battle.
Sixth place: Xu Xin, the spoiler who is most unlike the traditional straight board
Xu Xin
To tell the truth, in addition to the serve and swing short, it can be said that Xu Xin's body is difficult to find the shadow of the straight board player, the strong feel and arc making ability, excellent control ability and broad running position have made him the creator of many top ten balls, and has also won the reputation of the people's artist.
However, from the perspective of undertaking alone, Xu Xin's technical playing style is not reproducible, because he does not have the variability of Liu Guoliang's serve, no Wang Hao's super strong counter-attack, and no Marlene's signature sideways burst. It is more dependent on its own arc manufacturing ability.
The reason why Donggua mentions Xu Xin is not because he is currently a star in service, but because he feels that from the perspective of traditional development, Xu Xin is a spoiler, and the technical characteristics of no straight board may be Xu Xin's biggest feature.
Seventh place: Ni Xialian, a adherent of the straight-inverted play
Ni Xialian
Nearly 60 years old Ni Xialian is still active in the international table tennis arena, by the "Pocket Kingdom" Luxembourg fans called the national treasure athlete, as a member of the overseas table tennis team, Ni Xialian with superb skills to compete in the table tennis, in Europe to break out of the world.
Ni Xialian belongs to the long glue combined with the positive glue of the inverted board attack style, which is very different from today's two-sided anti-glue arc combined with the mainstream attack of the fast attack. Ni Xialian used to be a traditional straight-sided positive rubber playing style, and later the coach combined her own characteristics and changed her playing style to long glue inverted board offensive playing style. This style of play is a strange play derived from the traditional style of play of national table tennis, although it cannot be attacked in an arc circle like a two-sided anti-glue, but it can use the performance difference of the equipment to produce rhythm and rotation changes.
For amateur long rubber enthusiasts, Ni Xialian's playing style has a strong guiding effect, and it still belongs to the kind of meeting god to kill god and buddha to kill Buddha in amateur ball games.
