On February 19, at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, the national table tennis was unbeatable. The men's table tennis team appeared on time at 9 o'clock, and Wang Chuqin won 3-0 as soon as he came up, abusing the Croatian team to the point that they couldn't find the north. And the women's table tennis at 12 o'clock raised the baton of victory, and played against the Hungarian team with ease, and the court seemed to be their world.
For the national table tennis team, which qualified ahead of schedule on February 18 and went all the way to the championship, these two games are just icing on the cake. They seem to be telling the other teams that it's just a little bit of a workout, a warm-up!
While the fans of national table tennis waved flags and cheered, the teams of other countries quietly pinched a cold sweat. Players from other countries made mistakes one after another, and even the former world champions suffered a tragic defeat in this game. Even the immortal eldest sister in the table tennis world, Ni Xialian, was defeated by the 15-year-old Japanese teenager Zhang Benmeihe.
Watching foreign veterans collapse in the game, and then watching the national table tennis unstoppable at this time, it is really emotional! They are like a crane in a flock, high above the rest of the team.
And the men's table tennis players participating in the 2024 Busan World Table Tennis Championships are still everyone's old friends - the "Five Tigers of National Table Tennis". The performance of these veterans on the field can be described as quite consistent. As veterans who are familiar with the road, Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun directly beat the Hungarian men's table tennis team "bald" when they came on the court, and the two 3-0 results were simply enjoyable.
However, Lin Gaoyuan, who came on the field next, had some harmless accidents. In the first game, he made a small mistake, and lost the first game to make the audience worry about it. But I believe that this is just a small episode on the field, the national table tennis team is still as stable as Mount Tai, let us wait and see the follow-up games.
Lin Gaoyuan, this kid is really slow to heat, but fortunately, after this round, he adapted to the game quickly, and the situation of chasing two was overturned by him, which made the onlookers finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After the World Table Tennis Championships entered the team competition, the momentum of national table tennis became more violent, as soon as it started at 9 o'clock in the morning, the national table tennis men's team played against Croatia, and Wang Chuqin played 3-0 on the hot search.
The audience and players seemed more relaxed, because the national table tennis men's team had already qualified ahead of schedule as early as February 18, and the subsequent schedule was directly locked, which greatly increased the pressure on other national teams.
is accustomed to the invincible hot scene of national table tennis, and then looks at the champions of other countries frequently have accidents at this World Table Tennis Championships, the gap is really too big.
This World Table Tennis Championships not only has the five tigers of national table tennis that we are familiar with, but also other star players, such as Ni Xialian, who is now 60 years old but is still fighting the field.
Just when the audience was moved by Ni Xialian's heroic posture and expected her to achieve better results, a little Japanese girl came out and beat Ni Xialian to shame.
The Japanese female table tennis player is only 15 years old, called Miwa Zhangmoto, relying on the vitality of youth and the strong training level of the Japanese team, easily defeated Ni Xialian 3:0.
It is not surprising that Zhang Benmei and can win, after all, Ni Xialian is 4 times her age, and the difference in physical strength and reaction speed between the two is also obvious.
Seeing that Zhang Benmei and Ming obviously had a winning situation, but when they fought against the old-timers, they fought mercilessly, which simply brought the "old man tactics" to the extreme. This made many netizens feel distressed about Ni Xialian.
However, the world champion who lost at this World Table Tennis Championships is not only Ni Xialian. Ocharov, who was in his prime, lost a small game against Kazakhstan. Such mistakes are not common for former champions.
Although the World Table Tennis Championships were held in Busan and were considered the home of the South Korean team, in addition to the Chinese team as always, the most eye-catching thing was a Japanese player.
This Japanese player is no stranger to everyone, and those who have followed table tennis events should have heard his name. That's right, he is Tomokazu Zhangmoto, who has been gaining momentum in recent years.
Tomokazu Haramoto is not a native of Japan. At the age of 11, before he became a Japanese citizen with his father, he was always a Chinese, even a native of Sichuan.
Zhang Benmeihe, who won Ni Xialian in the front, turned out to be Zhang Benzhihe's own sister. Now both brother and sister play for the Japanese national team, and they have the momentum of knocking down everything just to play against the Chinese team.
However, Tomokazu Zhang was not used by the coach to "boil the old man" like his sister. However, he played against the Chinese Taipei team and also performed quite well at the World Table Tennis Championships.
first defeated Gao Chengrui 3-0, and then defeated Lin Yunru by one point, becoming the main scorer of the Japanese team. For a while, the Taipei team was gloomy. This kid is not simple, he has become a secret of the Japanese team**.
Although Zhang Benzhihe performed well in the game, in fact, compared with the main force of the national table tennis men's team, the gap is still quite large. In the future, I am afraid that they will inevitably lose.
No wonder national table tennis coach Liu Guoliang has a soft spot for this naturalized player, after all, he is like a good whetstone, although it is easy to use, but it does not pose a real threat to strength. Who doesn't love such a pampered assistant?
Not only is Zhang Benzhihe not a threat to the national table tennis, but even his sister Zhang Benmeihe is difficult to compare with the national table tennis women's team. After all, at the World Table Tennis Championships, the performance of the national table tennis women's team was also excellent, unlike the men's and women's teams of other countries, the women did not let their eyebrows be bearded and played bravely.
In the women's table tennis team, the most eye-catching is the "Little Shayu" Sun Yingsha. She's on the swing right now and looks like she's going to win as soon as she plays. Chen Meng, the main player of the national table tennis women's team, although there are occasional mistakes, her steady style of play has won unanimous praise from the audience.
On February 18, Chen Xingtong also won a crushing victory of 3-0, making the national table tennis women's team as easy as the men's team. The only thing that makes the audience unhappy may be the fans who like Wang Yidi. After all, since losing to India, Wang Yidi has not shown up for a whole day, which makes many people worry about whether she was hidden because of her poor state.
The national table tennis employs people wisely, and arranges the players who win first, so as not to put too much pressure on the players, and can also increase Wang Yidi's confidence. The match schedule on February 19 also shows the careful planning of the coaches, and against the Hungarian women's table tennis team, Wang Yidi's name is on the list. As a result, Wang Yidi played a good record of 3-0 and regained the attention and expectations of the audience. As of the end of the last game on February 19, the men's and women's table tennis teams have won four games in a row, and the national table tennis audience is really happy!
Netizens saw the mental state and strength of the national table tennis and looked forward to the performance of the World Table Tennis Championships. Someone bluntly said that the national team championship is already a certainty, and fans are ready to write congratulatory letters! The good results of table tennis competitions are inseparable from the support of the audience and the efforts of the players. The men's and women's table tennis streaks opened a good prelude to the competition and also inspired the audience. I hope that these young players can achieve better results in future competitions and win glory for the country!
I hope that other sports teams of the national team can also learn from the national table tennis, move forward bravely like them, and live up to everyone's expectations.
