Table tennis chopping is one of the traditional table tennis techniques in China and one of the defensive techniques of table tennis. Chopping technique is developing in the direction of rotation, stability, low and attack. Technical terms of table tennis. The technique of using the friction of the racket to chop the ball and hit the ball. When hitting the ball, the racket leans backward and swings from the upper side of the body to the lower side. Swing takes an arc route and touches the middle and lower part of the ball during falling. It has the characteristics of slow ball speed, long arc and downward rotation. This is a defensive technique that threatens opponents with changes in rotation and placement. There are near-cut, far-cut, tangent, non-turn-cut, angle-cut and arc-cut. [Edit this paragraph] Take the right hand as an example: Forehand far cut: the left foot is slightly in front of the middle platform, the upper body slightly turns to the right side and the center of gravity falls on the right foot, and the arm is naturally bent in front of the abdomen. In the direction of the ball, the racquet is shoulder-high to the right, and the racquet faces backward. When the ball bounces off the stage, the upper arm holding the clapping hands drives the forearm to cut down from the upper right to the left, and the wrist rotates downward to exert force, aiming at the middle and lower part of the ball at the right descending stage 40 cm away from the body, and then moving forward to give it. Backhand far cut: the right foot is slightly in front of the middle platform, the upper body turns left and the center of gravity falls on the left foot, and the clapping hand naturally bends and relaxes on the chest. Along the line of the ball, the racquet is about shoulder height on the left, and the handle is down. When the ball bounces, hold it with both hands and swing it from top left to bottom right. Slap your face back and use your forearms and wrists to accelerate the hard cutting. The racket hits the middle and lower part of the ball in the descending period of 30 cm on the left side of the chest, and swings to the lower right. The key and difficult point of chopping is the coordinated force of arms, waist, abdomen and legs. [Edit this paragraph] (1) Far cut 1, features and application: big hitting action, slow ball speed and long arc, which is conducive to cutting and spinning the ball and containing the opponent with the change of landing point. Often suitable for dealing with the opponent's smash, loop and pull. It is one of the basic skills that players who play mainly with chopping must master. 2. Key points: ① Upbeat is to increase the hard distance of cutting the ball. ② Hit the ball in the descending period, but not too low on the table. (3) Keep enough impact, otherwise the ball will not cross the net. (Forehand chop is above, backhand chop is below) [Edit this paragraph] (2) Close cut 1, features and application: small action range, fast return speed, strong forward force, mostly used for close cut corner kick, which has certain threat and often leads to active or direct scoring. Generally used to deal with light pull balls and general topspin balls. 2. Key points: ① The racquet is slightly higher than the shoulder. ② Adjust the backswing angle of the racket face according to the incoming ball. (3) Forearm is the main force, the wrist is pressed down, and there is no forward movement after hitting the ball. [Edit this paragraph] (3) Cut the arc ball 1. Features and application: The tangent loop ball is an important technique that the chopper must master. Due to the strong topspin of the rotating loop ball, the upward rebound force after contacting the racket is extremely great, and it is easy to return the golf ball or even go out of bounds if it is not handled well, so it is difficult. 2. Key points: ① Touch the ball at the late stage of the incoming ball. At this time, the rotation of the ball is weakened. ② Generally, the hitting point should be selected in front of the right abdomen, and it should be lowered appropriately. Using the upward rebound force of the incoming ball, a natural arc will be formed, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of chopping. ③ When the racket touches the ball, the racket face should not be tilted backward too much, but should touch the middle and lower part of the ball; If the incoming ball rotates strongly, it can make the racket face stronger and straighter, and appropriately increase the strength of the arm to press the ball down. (4) When touching the ball, the wrist should be relatively fixed to avoid returning the ball too high. [Edit this paragraph] Men's Chopping: It is gradually limited to the background of the times. Early chopping, such as Bergman and Myers, is famous for its steady defense. After entering the era of rubber racket, the appearance of Doss made the chopping style appear obvious subdivision for the first time, and the position was relatively close, with chopping and corner forcing as the main task, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack (mostly backhand). However, since then, Europe's chopping has relied heavily on defense, and there has never been an active chopping like Theodore Bercek, holding an anti-sticking sponge bat and turning around to win. The cutting was exaggerated by coach China at that time as "the crane can't pull up"; Saurer used to pour the rubber on both sides, and then change the raw rubber on the opposite side. Because of its stability, he rarely played golf, so he was called a "cutting machine". With the popularity of loop ball in Europe, the focus of chopping has gradually shifted to Asia. Following Jiang Yongning, who is equally slow and steady, with outstanding footwork and tenacity, Li Rensu began to try to chop with the principle of "turning", while Wang Zhiliang, who has two anti-glues, made the turning chopping shine in the world competition for the first time. Zhang, his doubles partner, also kept his arc down and cut steadily. With the help of long glue and a little counterattack, he repeatedly made his opponent lose his mind. China's chopping style has just begun to take shape. When he went to Liang Geliang to participate in the World Series, on the basis of not being able to turn around, he incorporated the somersault technique, which greatly increased Horizontal Plate Chopping's changing space and offensive opportunities. Liang Geliang, who has practiced double-sided attack, tried various combinations, from double-sided anti-glue, anti-glue/raw glue to anti-glue/long glue. When he finally returned to chopping, his special experience determined his powerful attack and changeable characteristics in front of the stage, especially his tricky serve and attack. He even won two doubles gold medals with two attackers, Li Li and Li Zhenshi, at the World Table Tennis Championships. Huang Liang, which uses the combination of anti-glue and long glue, still mainly rotates with little attack. Before limiting the color of rubber, Lu, the last representative of China, was also the only famous forehand and backhand long chopper, which was unique. Later, Chen Xinhua, Wang Hao and others. It also inherited the proactive characteristics of the predecessors, and at the same time, with the height advantage, it further increased the intensity and scope of the middle road cutting counterattack. The appearance of Ding Song undoubtedly indicates that China's chopping style has completed the process from quantitative change to qualitative change, which not only greatly increases the threat of the first three boards, but also creates a precedent for chopping and arcing. Zhu Shihe, on the other hand, made the counter-attack ability of the chopper by going up one flight of stairs, realizing the real continuous pull. China's neighbor, Japan, is relatively moderate in the development of chopping: the rotation is not as strong as that of Europe, and the counter-attack is not as much as that of China. During the period, there was a Tetsuo Takashima in Japan, whose knife skills were appreciated by Lu and highly praised by Zhang. "Just right, the hitting point is relatively fixed, and there is also considerable rotation. As a double-sided counterattack, the stability of his chopping is very rare. " But he only has some counterattack ability in forehand. This man is the head coach of the Japanese team in the 44th World Table Tennis Championships. After that, Koji Matsushita only continued this pattern, but shine on you is Better than Blue. Li Genxiang of North Korea was also one of the few good chippers at the end of last century, and his style was similar to that of Chen Xinhua. To this day, traditional choppers like Said and Koji Matsushita have never listed Ding Song as a teammate. Most Japanese people's understanding of chopping is still at the level of "the other side pulls 20 boards and I chop 2 1 board". Looking through an English table tennis article, Europeans still use the words "defender/defender" or "backspin player" to express "chopping", while in China, ordinary fans are also familiar with the combination of attack and chopping. Of course, in the face of the miracle created by Zhu Shihe, Europeans can no longer be indifferent. The Greek head coach believes that "today's chop must have considerable offensive ability, and the backhand should also strengthen the counterattack in the near stage", and they also created a new term-modern defensive player. [Edit this paragraph] Women's chopping: Compared with the development of men's chopping, women's chopping has almost stagnated for a long time. Rosia Nu and Alexandru are mainly steady; Gao Ji 'an, at the same time as Doss, also paid attention to cutting the ball at a high point, but his position was a little farther than Doss, and his counterattack was not so active. Lin Huiqing and Zheng, whose backhands are all long glue, are still slowly and steadily adding a little counterattack; Ge Xinai inherited the mantle of coach Zhang, mainly to alarm the other side, and the attack was not excessive. The back of the stick occasionally attacks for the purpose of exchange; Tong Ling learned men's serve and attack, but he still didn't go out of the mode of Lin Huiqing and Zheng. Since then, Guan Jianhua, Deng Yaping, Wang Hui and Cheng Hongxia have not changed qualitatively. The former Soviet Union, which is good at chopping the ball, is no exception: Russian player Timina, who won the women's team championship in the 1994 World Cup, was a "candy cow" who was good at cutting the arc with long backhand glue, while bratu Eva, who later represented Italy in the 1996 Olympic Games, still fought back in Taiwan Province. Overseas China women's backhand long gum is the best in China, but only Li Juan is the forehand long gum. It was inspired by her that Ding Song established the development direction today. For Jin Jinge and Vic. Pavlovic lost to Jun Gao and Niu Jianfeng respectively in the Paris World Table Tennis Championships, and his evaluation of Lu was "dull". Among the existing women's choppers in the China national team, Wang Tingting's forehand chop is the first in the women's singles in the world, and her opponent basically gets off the net as soon as she pulls it, but her forehand attack power is limited, so she mainly relies on her opponent's return to the net to score points; Ding Ying's chopping rotation is not strong, and her stability is acceptable, but her start is a bit slow, and her continuous high defense is reluctant. Ju Lianhua's offensive ability is stronger, but he can't cut his forehand, and his offensive and defensive relationship is one-sided and conservative. It seems that only Fan Ying, which is similar to Ding Song, is expected to become a turning point in the development of women's chopping. Jun Gao also commented, "Her technique is a bit masculine, and the forehand arc has certain strength." Indeed, in the women's table tennis world where Boros Tamara and Steve can chop the ball with backhand loop ball in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century, the chopper will have to wait for death if it doesn't "mutate".
