<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Waldner, the god of table tennis, invented the tile serve</h1>
There are currently 10 Grand Slams in the world table tennis, 9 of which are Chinese players, and only one is a player from the Foreign Association, which is the god of table tennis, Waldner.
The same is the Grand Slam, why do people think so highly of Lao Wa? We feel the unusualness of the old tile from bit to piece.
1. Lao Wa is the first Grand Slam, and the title of Grand Slam is for Lao Wa.
Grand Slam was originally the concept of the tennis arena, table tennis originally did not have this title, lao wa won the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, plus the 1989 World Table Tennis Championships, 1990 World Cup, he has gathered the world's three major singles champions, in order to commemorate this extraordinary achievement, people call it "Grand Slam", Lao Wa is the first person to achieve a Grand Slam.
2. The tile-style serve method solves the dead hole of the inflexible serve of the horizontal racket and makes a great contribution to the development of the horizontal shot.
In the early days of Lao Wa's sports career, the world table tennis world was the world of direct shooting, and Guo Yuehua, Jiang Jialiang, Chen Xinhua and other direct shooting masters traversed the world.
Why can't the horizontal beat beat be straight? Mainly because the horizontal grip is not flexible, the wrist rotation space is limited, and there is not much rotation change.
The straight shot serve is not limited by wrist rotation, the serve is flexible and changeable, in that era of emphasizing the first three boards, the serve has the advantage and the win side accounts for half.
Old Watts uses his brain, how to get rid of the disadvantage of serving? To free his wrist, he tried to loosen the three fingers that held the handle, and only pinched the shoulder with his thumb and index finger, so that the handle would not block the wrist and the wrist could be rotated to the maximum. After serving the ball, immediately return to normal horizontal grip.
This serve innovation, the disadvantage of the horizontal shot serve was solved, and Lao Wa became one of the two best serves in history.
The tile-style serve method was seen, and other cross-tapper players also learned. The horizontal beat solved the problem of serving, like a tiger adding wings, gradually suppressing the straight shot and becoming the mainstream playing style in the world table tennis world.
3. The 7 3-0 wins at the Manchester World Table Tennis Championships are convincing.
At the 1997 World Table Tennis Championships in Manchester, Lao Wa swept Samsonov 3-0 in the final to win the championship, so far, he played 7 games 3-0 from the first round to the final, and did not lose a small game, which convinced everyone.
This is also the only feat in the 96-year history of the World Table Tennis Championships to sweep the opponent to win the championship, no one has ever done before, and there may be no one to come back in the future.
4. The old tile god ball is breathtaking.
Because the imaging technology of the old Vana era was not very developed, there were not many video materials left. From the limited video materials, we can also appreciate the style of the old tile god ball.
For example, in the men's semifinals of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Chengmin rushed in a straight line with his forehand sideways in the backhand position, Lao Wa did not run into place, could not pull back, he completely turned his back to the table with his hand and looked back at the moon, the ball drew a beautiful arc back to the opponent's forehand big horn, and the whole audience was thunderous.
Lao Wa also has many praiseworthy places, such as ultra-long sports life, accurate prediction of the ball landing point, sober mind, elegant demeanor, etc., calling him the "god of ping-pong", you have no opinion, right?
