Hello everyone, I am Zhang Siyouliu, and I bring you the following today:
The Chengdu Table Tennis Mixed Team World Cup ushered in the final day of fierce competition on December 10, and the match between Germany and Japan attracted much attention. Despite the absence of the six main players of the German team, they won an upset against Japan's Miwa Haramoto, proving that their quality should not be underestimated. Although Japan sealed the bronze medal, this match was a good training opportunity for both sides. What happened: The German team and the Japanese team are both strong teams in the international table tennis world. Although Japan are the better team in the women's event, they have previously lost to Germany at the Olympics. In the men's event, the German team is far stronger than the Japanese team. However, in this competition, the six main players of the German team, Ocharov, Qiu Dang, Francesca, Bol, Han Ying, and Mitterham, did not participate, and only Shan Xiaona was a core player. In contrast, although the Japanese team is missing Mimato Ito and Miyu Nagasaki, Hina Hayata, Miu Hirano, Miwa Zhangmoto, Miyu Kihara, Tomokazu Zhangmoto and Hayasuke Togami all played.
In the first set of the mixed doubles, Japan's new pair Hayasuke Togami and Haramoto faced Germany's Meisner Wanyuan. Unexpectedly, however, the Japanese lost 9-11 soon after the start of the match. Although they pulled one back 11-3 in the second game, they lost 6-11 in the third game due to poor service returns. It is worth mentioning that in the melee of the top four seeds, Hayasuke Togami and Miwa Zhang only won against the Chinese team, losing to South Korea's Lee Sang-so and Tian Zhixi and Germany's Meisner Wanyuan, and it seems that they have put all their energy into studying the Chinese team. In the next match, Japan sent world champion Miu Hirano to face Germany's Winter. However, since the German team did not send their strongest Olympic silver medallist, Shan Xiaona, to participate, it seems that they feel that winning is unlikely, so they let the other players get a chance to practice. As a result, Miu Hirano swept Germany's Winter with a score of -11 and successfully pulled one back, and the overall score became 4-2, achieving a reversal. In the third set, Japan's Tomokazu Haramoto came out to face Germany's Walter.
Although the latter's ranking and results are not comparable to those of the Japanese youngsters, Tomokazu Haramoto often loses in upsets, so no one can guarantee victory. Result: Despite the absence of the top six of the German team, they won an upset against Japan's Hayasuke Miwa Haramoto, earning some honours in the match. However, this match is a good training opportunity for both sides and has a positive impact on future matches. Although the Japanese team finally won the bronze medal, they broke through the two lines of defense of national table tennis, which is worth the trip. Good and bad effects: Although this game was a friendly match, for the German team, it proved that they still have a certain quality and fighting power even in the absence of the six main players. As for the Japanese team, they successfully broke through the two lines of defense of the national table tennis team, which is a good boost to their confidence and morale. Summary: Although the German team won some honors in this competition, the Japanese team is still one of the strong teams in the international table tennis world. It's a good training opportunity for both sides and maybe we'll see more in the future.
What are your thoughts on this game?Feel free to leave a comment!Tomokazu Haramoto's Japanese table tennis team won the World Cup, and although there were some twists and turns along the way, they finally defeated Germany with an aggregate score of 8-4. In this game, Tomokazu Zhang showed his strong strength, easily won the first game, and won the second game after falling behind. The third game was a bit slack, but overall it was a victory. In the fourth game, Japan opted to field women's doubles players, but initially lost 9-11. However, the Japanese were not discouraged and eventually came back to win with a score of 12-10. In the third game, the Japanese player played even better, extending the lead with an 8-1 bombardment performance and finally winning 11-5. Throughout the game, the Japanese team performed remarkably, beating the strong rival German team, and will definitely remain strong in the following games. Although the German team lost the game, they did not give up, and I believe that they will continue to work hard in the future games to win more honors for Germany. In this competition, the table tennis players showed their professionalism and team spirit.
Their hard work and hard work not only brought endless fun to the fans, but also let us see the charm of sports, and I believe that this game will also inspire more people to devote themselves to table tennis.
