`$ s5 J: Y, }0 t5 K& MProbably the most over-used and under-used shot in table tennis is the push. This may sound contradictory, but it really isn't. Most players either push too much or too little.8 O# n1 M+ U8 x% _- V

Many players push because they feel uncomfortable attacking the incoming ball. Others don't push because they feel they should attack every ball. Both of these are poor reasons to push or not push.; U/ g d- `& x' s& C% U+ `

Instead of pushing because of what you can or cannot do, push based on what your opponent can or cannot do. For example, if your opponent has an excellent loop against backspin, you should attack first whenever possible. Pushing simply helps your opponent.6 s! t: p }" J! f" Q" }% T

On the other hand, if your opponent doesn't attack backspin well, why "force" your attack, and make mistakes? Instead, pick your shots.

4 g0 }; I: j* A, O. x5 m& QHaving said all this, I recommend favoring attacking whenever possible, especially in practice. Why? Because, although it won't always be the best tactic, you will improve faster as a player by doing so. The problem, of course, is that if you don't push much in practice matches, how can you perfect the shot so that you can use it in tournaments? You need to find some sort of balance here.

You also may not want to overdo the use of pushing as a tactic in tournaments. There's a lot more pressure on you in a tournament than in a practice match, and it's a lot easier to push under pressure than to attack. Therefore, you may need to attack more often in tournaments than good tactics would suggest, so that you can become more comfortable attacking under pressure.7 D$ ?' e( ^ h- S8 J
& I6 G; W+ V7 Y- W
Usually, the player who tries to attack first in practice and tournaments becomes a stronger player than those who push more often, and don't develop as strong an attack. However, a player who favors attacking, but learns to push effectively, becomes best of all. If you doubt this, watch tapes of Jan-Ove Waldner, Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, or USA players such as Cheng Yinghua, Jim Butler and David Zhuang. All favor attacking, but push quite effectively. But only when they choose to for tactical reasons.

- Y; K5 {) D) K Q! t' Q% @: z8 o& I0 t
可能乒乓球里最过多和过少使用的球就是搓球。这听起来似乎矛盾，但是不是这样。几乎所有的选手要么过多搓球要么过少搓球。
, k# F+ `9 N S9 M/ I. B3 ?5 Q s C. u! T1 C
很多选手搓球因为他们进攻某种球觉得不舒服。另外一些选手不搓球因为他们觉得他们应该进攻所有的球。这些都不是搓或不搓很好的理由。
; \4 f$ b: Q% M& q& R# @) ^- y& W( b! X q9 V# M r m
不应该因为你能或不能而搓球，而应该基于你对手能或不能而搓。譬如说，如果你的对手拉球起下旋非常好的话你应该一有可能就进攻,搓只能帮你的对手.

" u! `6 ^$ R# Q& q* Q. L% e4 R反过来,如果你对手进攻下旋不好的话,为什么"强迫"自己进攻造成不必要的失误呢?所以,选择你的进攻.. c2 _" e$ R0 U- F; O; k& S7 ~
9 y5 O! G. z! Q1 h& j别因为你必须所以才搓,要为了战略需要而选择去搓.意思是说你应该学会进攻任何一个球,但是却战略选择性地搓或进攻.
) e2 c# t E ]5 h- I0 K0 e
5 M4 B9 ` D' m% ]5 W6 K说了这许多,我建议只要有可能就倾向于进攻,尤其是在练习时,为什么?因为虽然不总是最好的策略,作为选手你可以通过这样来加强你的速度.问题当然是如果你不在练习赛中多搓球,你怎能把这板球练得很好以至于使用在正式比赛中?你需要找到中间的平衡点.1 I/ z- d/ @# x$ K, {2 J
; Y* y# i' ^; E/ }. N0 B3 p你也不应该在比赛中策略性地太多搓球.比赛压力要重得多,因此搓比进攻要容易得多.因此正式比赛中你可能需要比好的策略建议你的更多地进攻,这样你才能越来越能在压力下自由地进攻.
, y- r: b% Q" @1 [; U: I+ Y7 c( d/ P- v0 W
通常,和搓得更多而没有练成有力的进攻的选手相比,那些在练习和正式赛中试图去先进攻的选手先变成更强的选手.但是,那些喜欢进攻而又能学会有效搓球的选手会变得最强. |
