In the mixed team World Cup Group A national table tennis team against the Puerto Rico team, due to the Puerto Rico team's upset defeat to the Hong Kong team in the last round, the coaching staff and fans discovered the potential of the Puerto Rico team. DiazIn fact, she is the core player of the current Puerto Rican team, winning three games against Sweden in the last round, and she still beat Bergstrom in the singles against a strong opponent.
Diaz is also a very talented player, although he couldn't win against the main force of national table tennis before, he could always win one or two games. Therefore, in this match against the Puerto Rico team, it is very unlikely that the national table tennis wants to keep a clean sheet against the opponent, and it is estimated that it will play the doubles match in the fourth set. Diaz had previously forced Chen Xingtong to a tiebreaker, and the player's singles competitiveness could not be ignored.
In fact, the game against the Puerto Rico team is mainly to see Diaz's play, if this player does not play well and is swept, the national table tennis team can indeed clean up the Puerto Rico team. But Diazwill definitely go to the game with the attitude of impacting the main force of national table tennis, and she will not be particularly conservative in this game.
So which female player the coaching staff makes in the singles is particularly important?At present, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi can all fight against them, but it is difficult for all three of them to keep Diaz clean. Due to the last round of the game against the Hong Kong team, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng played, and Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi may be allowed to play in this round.
Considering the tie-break format, where competitors only need to win one game to drag the match to a doubles match, singles and doubles matches are particularly important. If the coaching staff lets Sun Yingsha continue to play, then in this match against the Puerto Rico team, Sun Yingsha will definitely play against Diaz in the singles.
But at the moment, it's really not necessaryEven if Sun Yingsha plays in singles, she can't keep a clean sheet against her opponent, and the possibility of national table tennis being dragged to the fourth set of the doubles match is too high. Allowing Wang Yidi to play in singles matches actually meets the requirements of the coaching staff, because Wang Yidi's participation in singles matches can increase her personal points, which is conducive to her personal ranking rise.
If Diaz is against Wang Yidi,The backhand attack will be faster, and she will pay more attention to the change of the landing point of the backhand and will continue to mobilize Wang Yidi. Therefore, Wang Yidi will have more difficulty fighting against him, even if he can win the game in the end, it is estimated that he will win by one or two points. Moreover, this kind of team competition is a three-game game, if Wang Yidi enters the state slowly, it is very likely that the score will fall behind in the first two games.
Therefore, this is a great test of the national table tennis coaching staffWang Yidi must be in a relatively fast state if he wants to participate in singles competitions, but Diaz also has a lot of tactical changes, which tests Wang Yidi's adaptability. If Wang Yidi plays in the singles competition, then Wang Manyu will definitely play in the mixed doubles competition again.
Wang Manyu will definitely not be able to score points if he does not participate in the singles competitionOf course, the coaching staff wanted Wang Manyu to only participate in the mixed doubles competition, so that Wang Manyu would only increase the mixed doubles points instead of the singles points. Because she is now ranked second in the world, her points are much higher than Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, and the coaching staff certainly wants to increase Chen Meng and Wang Yidi's points as soon as possible.
Many fans are worried that in this mixed team event, Wang Manyu may have been competing with Lin Gaoyuan in the mixed doubles competition and will not participate in the women's singles competition. There is indeed this possibility, and these are more in line with the layout of head coach Marlene. If Wang Manyu is the best singles player in this game, it will be difficult to keep a clean sheet against Diaz. Wang Manyu is also the type that is slower to enter the state, but is actually more suitable for participating in other types of singles competitions.
Wang Manyu's reversal ability is relatively goodBut it's really not her style of play to get started quickly. Wang Manyu is a reversal of the style of play, and it is still a mixed doubles match to participate in this mixed team World Cup. So it depends on the arrangement of the coaching staff, Wang Manyu still has a certain advantage against Diaz, especially in the first three boards.
From the perspective of advanced technology, Wang Manyu is currently the best among the main players, and he is more suitable for that kind of hard-hitting fight. Wang Manyu has the most obvious advantage against Japanese table tennis playersIt would actually be best for her to play in the women's singles in the final. However, the first singles arrangement of the coaching staff final must still be Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu is not the first choice at present.
And with Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin's mixed doubles results up and down, the coaching staff has always wanted Wang Manyu and Lin Gaoyuan to compete in the Olympics as alternative mixed doubles pairs. Wang Manyu is indeed more advanced in receiving the serveCompeting in the Mixed Doubles is an even more ideal arrangement, as she can make a seamless transition with either Wang Chuqin or Lin Gaoyuan.
Wang Yidi can also partner with Lin Gaoyuan in the mixed doubles match, but Wang Yidi is easy to rise high in the return link. In this match against the Puerto Rico team, Wang Yidi had no problem playing in the mixed doubles match, because the mixed doubles strength of the competitors was also average. This is more able to see Lin Gaoyuan's role in mixed doubles, which is irreplaceable at present.
Wang Yidi vs. Diaz Compared with Wang Manyu, the process of the game may be more difficult. However, if Ma Lin wants Wang Yidi to add some more points,It is also necessary to add some adventure to the formation. Just like the singles quota for this year's Asian Games, Wang Yidi was not favored at first, but he still got the singles quota.
From the perspective of the optimal player configuration, Wang Manyu vs. Diaz in singles, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Yidi in the mixed doubles match is indeed the best choice. Of course, the coaching staff sometimes thinks completely differently from the fans, because the coaching staff is more "forward-thinking"!
