The Chinese men's team defeated the French men's team 3:0 on the evening of February 25 to win the team championship of this World Table Tennis Championships, and the 10-day 2024 World Table Tennis Championships team competition ended in Busan, South Korea. Although both the men's and women's teams of China won the defending titles, both teams battled hard for five rounds to retain their titles. "The wolf is coming", the national table tennis team that has been going well in the past few years, is no longer just a slogan. If you want to win the five table tennis competitions at the Paris Olympics again, the national table tennis team needs to work harder.
China Women's Table Tennis Championships.
I was scared by the Japanese women's soccer team and broke out in a cold sweat.
The Chinese women's team encountered some difficulties on the first day of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan. The Chinese women's team, which played India in the first match, has made great progress in the last two years, winning 3-2 after five games. In the first set, world top seed Sun Yingsha lost to Mukherjee 3-3, and the total score was 10-12, 11-2, 11-13, 6-11 in four games. Wang Manyu won her second game, while Wang Yidi lost 3-0 to Akula. Fortunately, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu won two games in a row, so there was no "black start" situation. It is understood that in the past two years, the main reason why the Indian women's team has made great progress is the use of "strange glue" and unique tactics to win by surprise. It is reported that Mukherjee, the player who defeated Sun Yingsha, used raw rubber extension rubber, and Akula used to defeat Wang Yidi. In particular, Mukherjee's current arc glue is rarely seen. The data shows that the "anti-arc rubber" is a special anti-rubber sponge rubber, its surface is relatively smooth, and there is a slightly rough feeling, the speed of the ball is very slow, the arc is also very short, and it will become erratic after landing, making it difficult for the opponent to deal with the curve ball in a normal way. The popularity of arc-proof rubber in the national table tennis team began in the eighties, and now the national table tennis team has no better sparring partner, which makes Sun Yingsha suffer a lot, because she has only played against Indian players a few times.
After the Chinese women's football team narrowly defeated the Indian women's team in the group stage, it met the Japanese women's team in the final round with a score of 6 3:0, and no one expected that the final game on February 24 lasted nearly 4 hours, which made the Chinese women's football team addicted. The Japanese women's team knew that its comprehensive level could not be compared with the Chinese women's team, so they put on a "strange formation" in the final: let Zhang Benmei, who was only 15 years old, take the lead and challenge Sun Yingsha. Although Sun Yingsha won 3-0 against the influential player, Chen Meng, who was second to play, lost 1-3 to the Japanese women's top seed Hina Hayata, which was also her first major defeat in a major tournament. In the next third game, the Chinese women's team fell behind 1-2, and Wang Yidi lost 0-3 to the world's No. 18 player Miyu Hirano. Fortunately, Sun Yingsha was the fourth to play, and she easily won Hina Hayada and turned the score into 2:2.
Facing Zhang Benmei and this player who is 14 years younger than her, Chen Meng still had a lot of pressure, and in the end she lost to her opponent with a score of 4:11. However, in the next few games, Chen Meng gradually calmed down, and with her rich experience, she won three games in a row, got a crucial point, and won the Chinese women's team six consecutive championships in the World Table Tennis Team Championships.
Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha cried excitedly after the game, and Chen Meng couldn't cry anymore, saying that if she lost two balls, her responsibility would be great. At the post-match press conference, Chen Meng said: "This is the most impressive experience of my career outside of the Olympics. Sun Yingsha's two goals were crucial for China, I believe in my teammates, I believe she can win this game. Before Sun Yingsha did not play in the fourth match, I was preparing for the fifth match, and Chairman Liu Guoliang also gave me a lot of confidence before the game. ”
Although they defeated the Japanese women's team in the final, the Chinese women's team should still pay attention to this and study it carefully. Japan's women's table tennis Hina Hayata, Miu Hirano, and Mei Zhang, the average age of the three main players is 20Around the age of 3, they will become competitors to the Chinese women's team. These three players are also the number one rivals of the Chinese women's team in Paris. Ma Lin, coach of the Chinese women's team, said: "If there is a mistake in the Olympic arena, it will be very serious. "If something goes wrong at this time, it's good for the team and for yourself. Ma Lin said that in this table tennis championship, the Chinese women's team played very hard, and the results were also very satisfactory, and the process needs to be summarized, but there are still many problems, and it still needs time and opportunities to improve.
Chinese men's table tennis.
Be wary of the Korean men's team and the French men's team.
Slightly different from the situation of the Chinese women's team, the Chinese men's team met the hosts in the semi-finals, falling behind twice, tying twice before winning 3-2.
The Chinese men's team lost the first game against the South Korean men's team, and Wang Chuqin lost 1:3 to the world's 14th player Zhang Yuzhen. In the second game, Fan Zhendong, the No. 1 player of the Chinese men's team, controlled the pace of the game and finally defeated Lin Zhongxun 3-0 to win the first game. In the third game, veteran Ma Long lost 2-3 to South Korean player Lee Sang-so after 5 rounds of hard fighting. In the fourth game, Fan Zhendong played again and defeated Zhang Yuzhen 3-0, turning the total score into 2:2In the deciding game, Wang Chuqin defeated Lin Zhongxun 3:0 and won the game for the Chinese men's team. Wang Chuqin was also scared after the game, "It's okay, I'm not dead yet." He said that losing the first game this time was a warning to himself, and he will adjust as soon as possible and go to the final with the best mentality. Fan Zhendong also said after the game, "It is very rare for China to be down 1-2, but we are always well prepared. If it were me, I would do my best and be ready to take on the challenge. ”
In addition to the South Korean men's team, the French men's team will reach the world table tennis team team final again after 27 years, and will become the strongest opponent of the Chinese men's table tennis team in Paris, because they will be the host at that time. On February 25, France's Alex Lebrun and Fan Zhendong battled five games and finally lost 2-3. Especially in the 4th game, Fan Zhendong once fell behind 5-8, but finally won 12:10.
Of course, in terms of ornamentation and ornamentation, the "wolf is coming" of national table tennis is still very good, after all, a game without suspense is really nothing to look forward to. The Chinese table tennis team has a good tradition, that is, in the face of strong opponents, they will become stronger, and this time at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, they will definitely learn a lesson and prepare for the table tennis competition at the Paris Olympics.
