Wang Yidi bravely enters 2024, Chen Meng is old and strong, and Wang Manyu is constantly moving forward in the wandering!
The Japanese table tennis competition all came to an end, and Miu Hirano and Hina Hayada both advanced to the Olympic men's singles finals. Both of these athletes are among the top players in Japanese table tennis, but Ito was not able to make the cut. However, 15-year-old Zhang Benmeihe is advancing by leaps and bounds, and he is about to catch up with Li Dai. Miwa Zhangmoto, will Japanese table tennis come in handy in the Olympics?
And now it seems that this opportunity is still very big, Miwa Zhang is indeed a good opportunity, Misei Ito has only one goal, that is, to win the gold medal in the Olympic women's singles, and she does not have this ability. For Ito, it is the same whether she participates in the Olympic women's team event or not, and she is more concerned about whether she can enter the next women's team event.
Ito is as proud as ever, and she doesn't have much of an advantage in the middle and long distance, so her style is getting worse and worse. When Ito's time came, it was like a flash in the pan, fleeting. Many fans believe that Misei Ito's fate will not be escaped by Miwa Zhangmoto.
In fact, with an excellent coaching staff, Miwa Zhang would never have made a mistake like Misei Ito. When it comes to talent, Misei Ito is indeed a lot taller than Zhang Benmei, otherwise he would not have beaten the core of the national table tennis team at such a young age. Zhang Benmei's strength is still a certain gap compared to the previous Ito Micheng, before he almost beat Sun Yingsha to the ground, and later was beaten down by Sun Yingsha.
Ito has also defeated Sun Yingsha, but Ito's brilliance in her career doesn't seem to last long. This may also be related to the athlete's own adaptability, and when Ito Misei faces problems, he often carries it alone and rarely communicates with others. Over time, he also didn't get used to his own bottlenecks, which led to his declining form.
Ito's three attacks have all ended in failure, and if Ito doesn't pursue stability, he could easily lose the game. Now that the Japanese table tennis has completed a major change in the Olympic arena, what kind of team will the national table tennis team be? Wang Yidi, as the second in the world, was beaten by Hina Hayada in the last session, but for Wang Yidi, these are valuable experiences.
Wang Yidi said that 2023 is a grind, and she wants to break through to 2024. Wang Yidi's fans don't think she can win, but she is confident in her strength. February is the team competition, and Wang Yidi will definitely have a fight with Hina Hayata, the core player of national table tennis, and Miyu Hirano, which can be regarded as the best time to test Wang Yidi.
After all, the team competition is the most important, and Wang Yidi also has to fight against a strong opponent like Hina Hayata, just like in the Asian Games. When Wang Yidi was in the Asian Games, he had not yet played against Tian Xina. In the eyes of fans, Wang Yidi still has to fight Hina Hayada to regain her confidence.
Under normal circumstances, should they meet at the Olympics? The two may not be in the same group, but if Tian Xina can enter the finals, it is very likely that she will fight Wang Yidi. What's more, Miyu Hirano has already qualified for the Olympic women's singles, and Wang Yidi wants to compete with her, lest she encounter an opponent in the Olympic arena and feel a little uncomfortable.
She firmly believes that by 2024, Wang Yidi will have the courage to face the doubts of fans. If Wang Yidi wants to be recognized by fans, he must defeat strong opponents in foreign competitions. There is a saying that although Wang Yidi is the strongest athlete in the world, she wants to participate in the single event of the Olympic Games, which is not necessarily safe, because her ranking has nothing to do with whether she can win the championship.
As a result, Wang Yidi was greatly negatively affected, and the team table tennis competition in February was a stage for Wang Yidi to show his strength. Wang Yidi wants to impress her fans, and she must perform well in foreign competitions. Some fans also learned that Wang Yidi worked very hard in practice, and she played very well. However, in the face of Japanese table tennis players, it is necessary not only to have the high quality of one board, but also to have good three-board offensive skills.
Now Hina Hayada and Miyu Hirano are in a stalemate, and their strength is not bad, and the key to the game between Japanese table tennis and Wang Yidi lies in the first three positions. Several female athletes in national table tennis are very flexible in the positions of the first three boards, and Wang Yidi needs more adaptation to win the game. If it's not a good adaptation skill, it's hard to win against opponents of the same level.
Wang Yidi also said that when she played with Hina Hayada at the World Table Tennis Championships and Asian Games, she was very cautious in some important scores. From the bottom of her heart, Wang Yidi did not accept her defeat, but she lost the ball in the last round of the World Table Tennis and Asian Games, so Wang Yidi had to learn a lesson, not at the last moment, let the other party take her to the last game.
Being able to achieve such results in the first two competitions is enough to prove that Hina Hayata's level is not much worse than the core of other countries, and she even pulled Sun Yingsha to the final. Compared with Wang Manyu, no one in the national table tennis team will be worse than her. Chen Meng once said that the winning rate of himself and Hina Hayada is about fifty percent.
Compared with Wang Yidi, between Chen Meng and Hina Hayata, there is still an undefeated record. However, fans also saw that Hina Hayada had the absolute upper hand in this competition, whether she dealt with Sun Yingsha or Chen Meng. However, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha relied on their extremely high strategic adaptability, and finally turned defeat into victory.
Chen Meng still looks like an old dragon clock, even if he is in his thirties, he still looks ambitious. Many fans are still looking forward to Chen Meng's ability to compete in the Olympic singles event, in fact, Chen Meng prefers to go to the Olympic team event. Now Chen Meng, whether it is against Miu Hirano or Hina Hayata, must fight until the last game before deciding the outcome of the game.
Winning the final is a risky thing for fans because a lot of times, winning is a matter of luck or luck. If you are a young athlete, you will have an absolute advantage in concentration and physical strength in the final round, while for an experienced athlete, if you don't win in the final round, then the next score will become very difficult.
And Chen Meng walks a defensive and counter-attacking style, for someone like Hina Hayata, who is good at the first three sets, in the last game, she must compare speed, state, and tactics. So for Chen Meng and other coaches, if they go to the competition, the pressure will be less.
Over the past year, Chen Meng has been partnering with Wang Yidi and Wang Manyu for the sake of his performance in the team competition. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to play doubles with these two players often, just concentrate on playing the individual game. Last year, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng were the most frequent double combinations, and they were originally doubles combinations with Sun Yingsha, but now she has adapted to them and changed Wang Manyu's double combination.
Making such a major change is also to allow Chen Meng to concentrate on the Olympic team event. Fans also know that Chen Meng met Sun Yingsha in the final in the singles event of the Olympics, and the final champion will be Sun Yingsha. In the past year, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha have had several confrontations, and in the end, Sun Yingsha won.
If Chen Meng hadn't been sure to win the Olympic women's singles championship, she wouldn't have competed without confidence. From March 2022 to the present, Chen Meng has not won the men's singles championship for nearly two years. In fact, it's not that Chen Meng doesn't want to win the championship, but that today's young people have become more excellent, Chen Meng advanced to the final round, met teammates like Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and from the perspective of the whole game, it was all smooth sailing.
But this is also normal, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are both younger than Chen Meng, and Chen Meng doesn't feel any pity when they lose to a younger athlete. Because every athlete has to face the challenges of young athletes, Sun Yingsha still looks very immature, but has she not been beaten by 15-year-old Zhang Benmei and He?
There are always some rising stars in the table tennis world, Chen Meng realized his desire to win the championship in the last Olympic Games, and it is a very difficult thing to be able to fight side by side with his teammates, not to mention that there are five beauties to compete for the Olympic Games, the intensity of which can be imagined.
Chen Meng still has her tactics and goals, and her fans naturally want Chen Meng to compete, but now on the field, people have to worry. Wang Manyu is on the margins, although her total score is not as high as Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, but Wang Manyu is more stable than her teammates in foreign competitions.
Over the past year, Wang Manyu has been very strong in foreign competitions. Perhaps in the eyes of some fans, Wang Manyu's condition is not good, but this is only because of her and her teammates. The most important thing for the men's singles players in the Olympics is to perform well in foreign competitions, and if they do not have enough international competition level, they will not be able to enter the finals at all.
Wang Manyu's current ranking has not improved, but her scores with the team members are very close, and there is still a possibility of surpassing them in the future. It's too early for fans to make a conclusion about this, and Wang Manyu performed reasonably well against a core player of Japanese women's table tennis. The core players of Japanese table tennis are the biggest favorites for the national table tennis team to win the championship, so foreign competitions cannot be ignored by everyone.
As the Olympics get closer, coaches and fans are paying more and more attention to how athletes perform abroad. If Wang Manyu performs well in foreign competitions, then she has a chance to challenge for the next Olympic women's singles. Some fans use the athletes' results and rankings as the basis for entering the Olympic program, but they don't even have the intention of seeing through the coach.
There is not much difference between Wang Manyu and Chen Meng and Wang Yidi's scores, so the three of them are in a relatively balanced state and do not have too much distance. The coaches are also testing the foreign aid ability of the three of them, so they will not announce the appearance list until the last resort. For a fan, they just need to do their job, and whether they can achieve good results in this game is the most important thing.
Mizutani Hayabusa and Tomokazu Zhang also said that they all support Zhang Benmei and hope that she can enter the next Olympics and replace Misei Ito, which is undoubtedly a thing, and the head coach of the national table tennis has responded.
