"The semifinals of the men's team at the Busan World Table Tennis Championships are produced! China 3 0 eliminated Japan, Zhang Benzhi and lost! "！
On February 22, 2024, at the World Championships in Busan, two of the top four players produced results. China beat Japan 3-0, France beat Portugal 3-1, and Ma Long lived up to his expectations, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin lost the gold medal after losing in one game.
First French port 3-1, Simon. Goltz was under tremendous pressure, and only Alex lost to Freitas; The other team is an audience from abroad, Wang Hao summoned Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Wang Chuqin to face Zhang Benzhihe, which is the biggest challenge they face.
Japan's men's team is a relatively strong one in the national team, especially Tomokazu Zhangmoto, in the previous World Table Tennis Championships, defeated Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin in a row, which is impressive, fortunately, that year, his teammates were not in good shape, and the Chinese team was not eliminated, so this time, Kunishi Tazawa let Tomokazu Zhang play, and Matsushima Teruko, Shinozuka Dainori, Togami Hayabusa, because of physical reasons, were unable to participate in the game, and Tanaka Yuta was even more left aside.
Interestingly, 16-year-old Teruko Matsushima was placed as the second seed and swapped with Shinozuka, apparently trying to develop this group of young players, as he will be facing Fan Zhendong or Wang Chuqin. Although Yuta Tanaka played well in the last competition, his form was very poor, so the coach did not have much confidence in him, in fact, from the current situation, Yuta Tanaka is a much greater threat to him than Shinozuka Daiori.
After Fan Zhendong defeated Matsushima Terukora 3-1 (11-13, 12-10, 12-10, 11-6), Fan Zhendong's form was not good, Matsushima Terukora played well, especially when he overtook his opponent in the case of 7-10, which is also a huge challenge, which also means that he will have to pay more attention to young players in the future, if Fan Zhendong is under great pressure in the game, then in other matches, he can also stabilize the situation! It should be commended.
In the second set, Wang Chuqin defeated Tomokazu Zhang 3-1 (8-6-6), recalling the Chengdu International Table Tennis Championships, Tomokazu Zhang defeated Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin in a row, and this time, Wang Chuqin made more preparations, especially her serve, so that Zhang Benzhihe could not use his speed to win a wonderful match.
Ma Long defeated Yoshiko Kotsuka 3-1 (11-9, 11-5, 9-11, 11-9) in the third set, Shinozuka Dairi is Japan's No. 3 player, Ma Long also had a loss, the younger generation was really difficult to deal with, and finally the Chinese team defeated Japan 3-0 and successfully entered the quarterfinals, and then met the champions of South Korea and Denmark, but Zhang Ben Tomokazu was very frustrated and failed to reach the top.
