In the second round of the women's singles group stage of the ITTF Macau World Cup, Chen Meng faced the Indian monster player Akula as scheduled. As a result, Chen Meng defeated her opponent 3-1 and successfully advanced to the top 16 of the women's singles as the first in the group. So, how did Chen Meng, who defeated Wang Yidi 3-0 and forced Wang Manyu to a decisive game? This is related to Ma Lin's pre-match arrangement and on-site guidance.
Ma Lin's on-site guidance was questioned, and this time she was in charge of Chen Meng, which did play a role.
Ma Lin once created a "feat" of on-site command and guiding all the five main forces of the national table tennis women's team. Whether Marin is suitable to be the head coach or not, fans have questioned. However, in this match against Akula, Marin obviously prepared in advance. First of all, Ma Lin asked Chen Meng to take a closer look at Akula's racket before the game. It is also a long glue, and the length of the particles used by each monster ball player, the softness, etc., are different, and the weirdness of the ball is also different. Before Chen Meng came on the court, he looked at both sides of the opponent's racket and had an intuitive understanding of the performance of Akula's rubber.
Secondly, at the beginning of the game, Chen Meng's tactics were very clear: send a small triangle of forehand, burst into Akula's relatively weak forehand position, and avoid the long rubber change of her backhand. This tactical strategy should have been formulated by Ma Lin for Chen Meng before the game. It was the snake that hit seven inches, and Akula's blame was mainly on her backhand long rubber, and her forehand was not at the same level as Chen Meng. The tactics are against each other, and Chen Meng won 2 consecutive 11-4, but the tactical execution is too good.
Third, on-the-spot response works. After Akula was caught on the short board, she didn't sit still. In the third game, Akula was able to successfully pull back a game, mainly after she served, she used long rubber knocks and block changes to increase her forehand sideways attack. After seeing the opponent's strain, Ma Lin asked Chen Meng to switch to attack Akula's middle position, and after Akula was pressed into the middle position, it was difficult to turn sideways. After being pressed in the middle position, the space for Akula's counterattack was compressed, and Chen Meng won the fourth game 11-2.
If the head coach doesn't do his homework before the game, Marin will often lead the team to overturn, and the players must also have the ability to implement on the field.
In fact, the Indian monster players have posed a great threat to the national table tennis women's team in the Asian Games and the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban. Sun Yingsha also lost to Mukherjee at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, and the player spent most of his time training. As the head coach Ma Lin, she should take on the work of studying the opponent and not let the main players of the national table tennis dismantle the tricks on the spot. If you have poor adaptability like Wang Yidi, it is easy to lose in an upset. Chen Meng played against Akula this time, and it seems that Ma Lin really did her homework in advance. With Chen Meng's on-site adjustment ability alone, she can't win this game.
Everyone thinks that Chen Meng repelled Akula, did Ma Lin do his homework behind his back?
