Is there a difference between the red edge and the black edge of table tennis?

This is related to China table tennis team coach Cai Zhenhua.

In the 1980s, there was no international regulation on color separation of rackets. At that time, Cai Zhenhua of China won the world championship, and his skills were not excellent, so he dominated the world by serving. His trick is to keep spinning the racket before serving, so that the opponent doesn't know whether he will use the positive glue or the reverse glue, so he doesn't know whether he will serve the forward spin or the reverse spin. After he retired, ITTF stipulated that the front rubber was red and the back rubber was black to show the difference.

This practice is actually aimed at China. In recent years, the international "big ball" and "2 1 minute" are all aimed at China, but with the efforts of China athletes, the world champion will still be China.

Japanese backhand, the front is red, and the back must be painted black (front black, back red) to distinguish it, and it does not reflect light. This is ITTF's rule.

ITTF technical manual stipulates that the thickness of rubber can not exceed 4.0mm, and the color of rubber can only be red and black. It also stipulates that if one side of the rubber sleeve of the racket is red, the other side must be black.

With the development of table tennis in 1950s, many people think that the pattern of this sport has been fixed and will not change greatly. However, in the next 40 years, the players accidentally discovered the four treasures-sponge, long glue, arc-proof glue and quick glue, which made table tennis "unrecognizable" and forced ITTF to revise the chapter several times and carry out reforms. So I personally think this is the "four great inventions" in the history of modern table tennis. Here, I will tell you the short stories collected by four authors. Of course, there are some jokes, believe it or not.

Are opportunities.

1951March, 18 World Table Tennis Championships was held in Vienna Concert Hall. In the fierce battle, only the famous French Rousseau complained: "The ball passed without hearing the sound." Hungarian main force Joseph Gao Jian (his sister played 500 rounds with Qiu Zhonghui in Beijing ten years later) shouted angrily: "This ghost fight should be banned!" Their opponent is a little-known Austrian college student, Waldemar Foric. With a sponge racket that people have never seen before, Fridge has made great achievements for the Austrian team many times: against Hungary, St. Stowe and Gao Jian; Against France, I beat Hagen Noel and others, and got three points ... When I played singles 16, I wrestled with top Yugoslav player Harlan Gozo several times. After knocking down his opponent, the coach said to him, "My left eye is full of happy tears, but my right eye is full of sadness." It turns out that his coach is Harlan Gozo's eldest brother. However, when 16 entered 8: 00, Sito, who had been cheated once, didn't give him another chance. At that time, no one expected that this game was not only Foric's first appearance at the World Table Tennis Championships, but also his last participation in the World Series. Many years later, when someone asked him about it, Mr Foric said "every opportunity".

It turned out that Mr. Fu served in the Nazi army during World War II and was captured by the Soviet Red Army. After he was released home, he re-entered the university. He is a versatile person in sports. He spends all his spare time on sports. He is good at table tennis, football, handball, track and field, swimming and gymnastics. 195 1 At the beginning of the year, he went to the club to play table tennis and met a comrade-in-arms who had been captured by the US military. They are in the same boat. Seeing that he didn't have a racket, the man gave him an old one of his own. This racket is so old that the rubber has come off. However, after the war, Europe was short of materials and could not buy new rubber, so Mr. Fu found an old black sponge and put it on it, and the effect was remarkable. After practicing hard for more than a month, he joined the Austrian national team. Under the careful guidance of the coach, he practiced skillfully for four weeks before he got the above scene. After the World Table Tennis Championships, the refrigerator became more confident, put aside her homework and concentrate on practicing. However, on the eve of the World Table Tennis Championships in Mumbai the following year, he learned from the radio that Austria only sent two officials and two female players to participate. Foric got angry and hung up the auction. Later, he got a doctorate in political science and became a director of an insurance company.

Teacher Fu's table tennis opportunities for more than a year have plunged table tennis into chaos. According to Mr. Ichiro Okimura, the former president of ITTF, when he won the world championship for the first time in 1954, he initially put a sponge (without rubber) with a thickness of 8~ 10mm on his racket, just like a sofa cushion. Later, it was difficult to control, so he changed it from 8 to 4 to 3mm thick and used it until the final. The difference between the rackets used before and after a game is so great, which shows that Mr. Dymura's skill is profound, but it is only possible to succeed under the background of chaotic equipment at that time. At first, Europeans and Americans thought about how to ban this kind of sponge bat, but the shrewd Japanese introduced it and exhibited the yellow soft sponge bat, which became the overlord of table tennis in the 1950s. The debate about sponge bat didn't come to an end until ITTF made the standardization resolution in 1959, and modern table tennis also started.

The gods are shocked.

The spring of 196 1 was the saddest day in China's modern history. We Longcun people live by eating a kind of milky white mud called "Guanyin soil" on the mountain. It was during this period that one day, Zhang received a rubber plate, an unqualified rubber plate, and a rubber plate with special serrations and holes on its surface! If at any other time, this piece of garbage had been in the garbage dump before leaving the factory, it would not have reached Zhang's hand. However, in a special period, Zhang, who has always been frugal, will not think of the word "throwing". Even if you want to throw it, you are afraid of being caught "typical"; Even if he is not afraid of being caught, he will be as afraid of "why not eat meat porridge?" as Qiu Zhonghui asked the leaf picker "Can this be eaten?" So he put on this rubber and tried it. As a result, it was awkward to fight, and the opponent was particularly uncomfortable and unwilling to practice with him. Lao Zhang's heart lit up: "if I try my best, I will feel uncomfortable first, which becomes a habit." Isn't it that the other party feels uncomfortable? "

Two years later, a drama "God of Zhang Jing Four" was staged in Prague. Few foreign experts can score 10 in a game in his hand! The ball he intercepted was out of bounds as soon as it was pulled; A blocked ball will get off the net as soon as it is hit. There was neither applause nor booing, and the audience opened their mouths. It was really "stupefied"! This is the audience in Prague and the audience in Czech Republic! The most watched table tennis exhibition in history took place in the Czech Republic in the early 1950s1968+,claiming to have more than 50,000 people! Of course, it was just a "taste platter" before a high-level basketball performance. However, what Uncle Sam's family is now giving Jordan and Yao a taste is a beautiful woman in exceptionally cool clothes, which shows that table tennis was "delicious" in the Czech Republic. To listen to the concert, you must go to Austria; Watch table tennis, and you will see the Czech Republic and Yugoslavia. Therefore, the word "Jing" played a role of "knocking" in the ancient "monk knocking on the moon door".

The audience was shocked, and so were the domestic game commentators! Words can't describe it. They said that Zhang's rescue was "fishing for the moon in the sea". When this was said, there was no pursuit from Kyle. It's been 40 years. This is a question that the author dare not say for many years, for fear of being laughed at and ignorant. Please help: Is this "fishing for the moon in the sea"? How come all the shots I see are "turtles in a jar" Of course, this is beside the point.

Since then, Zhang has been called a "magician". Two years later, the magic was cracked. At eight o'clock and four o'clock in the 28th World Table Tennis Championships, after more than two hours of five rounds of chopping, it was finally eliminated by Sauler of West Germany.

Liang Geliang was the first to be famous for using long glue, and finally Premier Zhou Enlai stepped in to stop it. The longest particle used is said to be Ge Xinai, who saved two games (the 33rd group and the 35th singles) when the first main force Zhang Li lost. The 32nd China team lost the men's and women's team championship, and happened to have no eraser. So in Birmingham from 65438 to 0977, a reporter asked, "Did China win by racket?" Li Furong replied: "It is people who decide the outcome, not things." . This is natural. Spin the ball with long rubber hair and let Crampa eat five in a row. So far, Huang Liang is the only one in the world. However, among our "Five Tiger Generals" at that time, three people were playing dragon glue. Long plastic doors are difficult to practice. After being deciphered, it was completely passive. Basically, it is a "disposable" weapon, so China players use it the most. Therefore, ITTF has revised the rules several times to restrict long glue. There are many reasons for the decline of table tennis, and the "secret weapon" is difficult for the general audience to understand. I think it should be one of them.

The contribution of the sun

197 1 At the 3 1 World Table Tennis Championships held in Nagoya, a little-known French player, jean paul Weber (also translated as Weber), shined brilliantly, beating famous players such as Gehlsen and Yun Enting, and made great contributions to the French team's seventh place in the team. His strange ball caught people's attention. Mr Webber is still teaching the ball. Mr. john schneider from tabletennis.about.com, USA, found the website of Mr. Webb's Club, which explained that once Mr. Webb glued the racket and forgot to put it on the windowsill, only to remember it at night. As soon as the rubber was burnt, it was too late to stick it again, so I had to take this racket to battle. Unexpectedly, the effect was wonderful, so he went to the 3 1 World Table Tennis Championships as the "secret weapon" of the French team, and the arc-proof glue was born.

In 1970s and 1980s, the famous foreign players who used arc-proof rubber were Bolze of Hungary, Smiles and Borgens of the American team, and Hilton, an eccentric British player. Although they all made small achievements, they did not have a particularly great impact. But Cai Zhenhua used the arc-proof rubber to the extreme. With clear thinking and flexible wrist, he combined Liang Geliang's stomping serve with Hilton's false arc, and added the word "fast". The loop ball he pulled was too late for his opponent to see clearly, so he could only guess whether it was true or not. If he is wrong, he will make a mistake. For example, if you use the non-turning ball as a powerful topspin, you will get off the net. Therefore, receiving his serve must be faster and more active than receiving someone else's serve, and try to avoid being caught by him and falling into the trap of his serve. Want to know how good Cai Zhenhua serves? Let me give you an example: 198 1, Game 6 of the men's team final of the 36th World Table Tennis Championships, Cai Zhenhua vs Gerjili. After winning one game each, the third game 15 was tied. At this time, the big score is that China leads 3-2. If Cai Zhenhua wins this set, the score will be 4-2. In the seventh set, Xie Saike will go all out against Crampa, who is used to playing with the wind. On the contrary, if the score is 3: 3, not only will Xie Saike be difficult to play, but Shi Zhihao, who lost two sets in a row, will also be at a disadvantage against Golgeli. In the end, Cai Zhenhua had to fight Jonyer who didn't eat the serve. It's hard to say whether you will win or lose. At this critical juncture of the decisive victory, Cai Xiao took out his serve technique and fed it to Gegeli five times in a row! It can be said that these five serves determine the outcome of the whole game.

After the 36th World Table Tennis Championships, various factions stepped up their research on Cai Qiu. There are many papers, but there are no effective methods. The true and false loop ball is not the same as the long glue. It belongs to the active attack, which is much faster and too late to judge. Not only can outsiders not break it, but even brothers who have been practicing together for many years are not easy to deal with. It is said that at that time, his fellow disciples won more through internal competition. Therefore, after the 37th World Table Tennis Championships in Tokyo, 1983, ITTF made a resolution that the colors on both sides of the table tennis bat must have enough contrast, and then changed the "enough contrast" to red and black. In the 38th World Table Tennis Championships from 65438 to 0985, Cai Zhenhua only participated in doubles and won the mixed doubles championship with Cao Yanhua. Later, a large number of 23-and 24-year-old world champions, such as Cai Zhenhua, Cao Yanhua, Qi Baoxiang and Ni, retired and set off a table tennis drama "Wolf Nature" in China.

For arc-proof rubber, the author once had a sense of mystery. I watched two kinds of basketball recently. One surface feels like fine sand, the elasticity of sponge is similar to that of reverse glue, and the ball pulled out rotates very weakly; Another reflective surface, a sponge with poor elasticity, will naturally reduce its strength when used to block the ball, which is somewhat similar to old rubber. It is said that Salhoyan of the Soviet Union used the old rubber (front) when he eliminated Xu Shaofa in the 32nd World Table Tennis Championships. No matter what kind of arc protector is used on both sides, it is likely that the ball will not be hit. Therefore, the story about Bozaizai defeating Yun Enting with a double-sided arc protector is probably misinformed.

The discovery of the prodigal son

The influence of fast glue on modern table tennis is well known. In our Ping-Pong House (ttball.net), some netizens said "I won't play without glue", and some people said on the American Ping-Pong website that "glue helps me score at least 50 points". So what is the secret of quick glue and how did it come from?

It is generally believed that the secret of quick glue is that its volatile gas fills the pores of the sponge, which makes the sponge expand in volume and increase in elasticity, but the degree of control has not changed much. This principle needs more detailed research to confirm. I want to talk about my own understanding of its origin here.

I first heard that the function of glue was in the summer vacation of 1975. Two table tennis classes from Jianghan District Sports School in Wuhan came to us to "open a school", but they "disobeyed" Chairman Mao's instructions of "eating, living and working together"-they lived in our school and refused to train with us, saying they were afraid that we would "lead the children astray". The other people in our school table tennis team are "wooden sailboats that can't stand a shell", so I think they are afraid of me, especially proud, and often provoke others. Finally, I provoked a fearless child and beat me nine times while their teacher was away. Although there were two 20 draws, I never won a game.

After playing the ball, we went to the experimental field of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, pulled out some newly grouted "tons and a half" ears of rice and burned them outside the school wall where bad students smoked. This fine variety with a yield of 3000 Jin per mu was eaten several times by us and became 2990, so it was not popularized later. After eating Xiaomi, he helped me analyze the reasons for losing: poor basic skills and weak ability to attack continuously are the main factors, and there is another secondary factor: "poor tempo."

"Yours is a double happiness, mine is a double happiness, so what?"

"My double happiness is a career. You don't know, when the rubber is freshly pasted, it is easy to fight. If you don't believe me, try Harz. "

I took a look. His racket is heavier, darker and thicker. There are seven clips on the bottom plate, and mine has five clips, but the rubber is the same.

"Then I try Hatch. If it is really good, please help me buy one in Wuhan. "

"No, our teacher got it from the province."

Hearing this, I quickly returned the racket to him for fear that I could not afford to lose it. But the words "new rubber is easy to beat" are as delicious as new rice and I will remember them all my life. Whenever someone tells me that quick glue is an invention of Europeans, I will say "nonsense." That's gunpowder in our hometown. I've known since I was a kid. "However, when I saw the report that Cai Zhenhua punished Margovin for sticking rubber, I was full of doubts." Is it the same as playing straight across the street, where babies know everything but the national team doesn't? "

When Mr Crampa visited ITTF last year, the mystery was finally solved. Lao Ke said that when he was young, he liked to listen to the "bang" sound of new rubber. When playing with my brother, he always sticks the eraser again. Once I came back, I couldn't hold on and lost miserably. Therefore, after he became a professional golfer, he cooperated with equipment suppliers and successfully developed fast glue.

It is not difficult to find that the newly pasted rubber is easy to be beaten, and babies at home and abroad know it. However, the purpose of China Xiaowa's gluing is to repair the racket or change it into a new rubber. For things that are intact, they are afraid of "breaking". Therefore, before each round of competition, a "good" racket must be "bad" first, and then a "good" black sheep behavior can only be imagined by Crampa, who is considered "bad" among foreigners.
