In the fierce competition in the first round of the WTT Nagoya Women's Finals, the rising star of Japanese table tennis, Miwa Zhangmoto, who is only 15 years old, and the world No. 1 Sun Yingsha started a hard-fought battle that lasted for five games. This game is not only a contest of skills and tactics, but also a challenge involving youth, struggle and family feelings.
Miwa Haramoto is an up-and-coming young player in Japanese table tennis, and her outstanding performances in domestic competitions have put her in the spotlight. At the age of 15, Miwa Haramoto has already shown momentum and strength beyond her peers, successfully defeating many big players such as Hina Hayata, Miu Hirano, and Mimato Ito, and has accumulated strong popularity for her competition in Nagoya.
Facing the No. 1 seed Sun Yingsha this time, Zhang Benmeihe did not flinch because of the strength of the opponent. During the competition, she showed strong attacking power and a fighting spirit that is not afraid of difficulties. However, her lack of consistency became the reason for her eventual defeat. In the deciding game, Miwa Zhangmoto, who had a 3:0 lead, failed to hold on to his advantage despite full preparation, which made people feel distressed by the young player's persistence and hard work.
After the game, Zhang Benmei was interviewed with red eyes. She admitted that she came to practice early, made full preparations before the game, and thought that she played quite well today. However, in the post-match emotional catharsis, she frankly admitted that she was still inferior to Sun Yingsha in some aspects. In the title of the opponent, from "Sister Sasha" to "opponent", this change is not only a reverence for Sun Yingsha's strength, but also an adjustment to her competitive mentality.
This game is not only a test on the road of Zhang Benmei's personal growth, but also involves family feelings. Tomokazu Zhangmoto, as her elder brother, expressed deep encouragement and support to her sister through social ** posts. He praised his sister's excellent performance with words of praise, saying that it was a game that he would never forget. Such family warmth and encouragement are undoubtedly a major motivation for Zhang Benmeihe to persevere in her competitive career.
Tomokazu Zhangmoto's post revealed his pride in his sister. He mentioned that he hadn't seen such a wonderful game for a long time, and thought that his sister was really powerful, and he was full of confidence and admiration for his sister. This relationship between brother and sister has become the spiritual pillar that Zhang Benmei and has been able to adhere to after failure, and it also makes her feel that she is not alone on the road of life.
Miwa Zhang's youth and drive, as well as her performance in the game, have raised expectations for her future. She showed great ability in both singles and doubles, and despite her defeat in this tournament, her performance still keeps people optimistic about her future development. Some commentators believe that with her drive, it is not impossible to compete for a place in the team event at the Paris Olympics, which will also be another important challenge in her table tennis career.
At the same time, Hina Hayada was also disappointed in the field. As another Japanese player, she also had a good performance in the competition, but was ultimately unable to emerge victorious. Hina Hayada has the impression that she is like a student who worked very hard and got good grades when she was a student, but she has always survived a certain gap with the top students who have both talent and hard work. She has reached a ceiling level in her hard work, which also highlights the cruelty and beauty of competitive sports.
This match is not only a technical matchup, but also a test of sportsmanship and perseverance. In the Chinese team, a big country in competitive sports, the pressure on the players is huge, and every drop of sweat and every game is to chase the ultimate glory behind them.
The impact of foreign associations is gradually increasing, international competition is becoming more and more fierce, the Chinese team is not invincible, it is not terrible to lose, what is really terrible is to lose to yourself. This is perhaps the charm of competitive sports, which is even more beautiful because of its cruelty.
As a member of the Chinese team, Sun Yingsha is in the position of being impacted and studied the most, and she is under heavy pressure in every game. However, time and time again, she withstood the pressure and achieved rare victories. This kind of indomitable spirit and stability is not easy.
In Zhang Benmeihe's eyes, Sun Yingsha has become a powerful opponent, and for her, it is a wall that needs to be surpassed. After this game, Zhang Benmeihe said that the other party should know that she is very "grinding", and also revealed that he hopes that the opponent can be more prepared next time, and he will also practice harder, looking forward to the third encounter.
This game undoubtedly makes people feel the poignancy and impermanence of competitive sports. Behind every athlete there are countless days of waking up early and practicing hard Xi, and every competition is a baptism of the soul. In the fierce competition, there are laughter and tears, victory and defeat. However, it is these experiences that make athletes persevere on a lonely and long road. In the process, the hard work and persistence they put in will ultimately live up to people's expectations.
