The defense of table football ball is not just about simply blocking the opponent's attack. The choice of blocking angle and the improvement of reaction speed are the key elements.
First, the correct blocking angle can minimize the opponent's attack route. The defender needs to make a quick judgment based on the position of the offensive player and the trajectory of the ball. For example, when the offensive player is preparing to shoot on the left, the defensive player should stand between the ball and the goal, with the body slightly tilted to the left, forming an oblique blocking surface, which can effectively block most of the angles of the ball coming from the left, forcing the offensive team to change its offensive strategy or choose a more difficult shooting angle.
Secondly, reaction training is crucial. In the fast-paced confrontation of table football ball, instantaneous reaction can determine the success or failure of defense. An effective training method is to use reaction balls. The coach or partner randomly pops up the reaction ball in different directions, and the defensive player should quickly touch the ball with his hand or stick to improve the reaction sensitivity of the hand and body. At the same time, by gradually shortening the interval between the reaction balls, the reaction speed limit can be continuously improved.
Furthermore, the movement of footsteps during defense will also affect the blocking angle. The defensive player should maintain flexible footsteps and quickly adjust his position according to the position of the ball. For example, by sliding, you can quickly move sideways without changing your body balance and fill in the best blocking angle in time. In daily training, you can set up special footwork movement exercises, such as marking different points around the table, requiring the defensive players to slide quickly according to the prescribed route and sequence to improve the coordination and movement speed of the footwork.
In addition, eye focus is a prerequisite for reaction. The defensive players need to keep a close eye on the ball and the offensive players' movements at all times, and predict the direction of the ball in advance. Concentration training can be carried out, such as setting up some distractions around the table, requiring the defensive players to eliminate distractions during training, and focus completely on the ball and the opponent. After long-term training, it can effectively improve the defensive reaction in complex environments.
In team defense, the angle of cooperation with teammates should not be ignored. Adjacent defensive players should form complementary blocking angles to avoid defensive loopholes. For example, when a defensive player on one side is broken through the defense line by the opponent, the teammates next to him should quickly adjust the angle, fill in the defense, and jointly build a tight defense system. This requires team tactical drills to make the players familiar with each other's defensive positions and movement routes, and improve the tacit understanding of team defense.
In short, mastering the blocking angles in table football ball defense skills and improving reaction ability through scientific and effective training, whether it is individual defense or team defense, can more effectively resist the opponent's attack in the game and lay a solid foundation for victory.
