The national table tennis team, who was born into a table tennis family and is known as the second Tomokazu Zhangmoto, was unprepared for Teruko Matsushima.
Matsushima Glow was born on April 29, 2007 and is not yet 17 years old. Matsushima's parents are both table tennis players, and he and his younger brother Matsushima Kasuki are both main players in the Japanese national youth team. Before being selected for the national team, the brothers both trained at the Tasaka Table Tennis Gym run by their parents in Kyoto. Matsushima Glow is the king of Japan's age group. Since 2014, he has won the men's singles championship in the toddler, children's and junior categories of the All Japan Table Tennis Championships for five consecutive years. He is known as the second "Zhang Ben" by the Japanese. Whether it is world ranking or technical strength, Matsushima Terukong can't compare to Fan Zhendong, so why can he beat Fan Zhendong?
From a technical point of view, there are three main reasons: First, the serve is changeable and the first three boards are fierce. Judging from the game scene, Matsushima Teruku is fully prepared for Fan Zhendong. To avoid Fan's first backhand twist, he will serve a forehand triangle. After Fan Zhendong shortened, he attacked decisively. 。In addition, Terura Matsushima also secretly passed on for a long time. Fan Zhendong was unprepared and pulled the ball out of bounds. The other is that the quality of the return is not high, and he was directly killed by Matsushima Glow. Secondly, the return is of higher quality, with better opening and closing angles. In addition to combining the length of his own serve, Matsushima Terukora also studied Fan Zhendong's routine in detail in terms of receiving serves.
Unlike Ma Long, who controls the twisting, splitting and swinging of the ball when he receives the serve, Fan Zhendong habitually twists the ball with his backhand in almost all returns. Matsushima Teruku's judgment of this ball was very accurate, and he tore it back directly. In addition, he uses his left hand, the angle of attack is large and wide, the battle is very fierce, and the win rate is very high. Under the high-quality suppression of Songdao glow, Fan Zhendong has been passively lagging behind. Third, speed is king, let Fan Zhendong follow his own pace. Japanese players are known for their speed of getting close to the stage. The reason why Fan Zhendong is so passive is mainly because he follows the rhythm of Matsushima Terura and competes with his opponents.
It wasn't until the second half that Fan Zhendong slowed down the pace and increased rotation to gradually control the situation. Unlike Matsushima Zhaokola, who was fully prepared, the national table tennis didn't know that Fan Zhendong was going to compete with Matsushima Zhaokora until the game was an hour into the game, so it was only temporarily **his skills**. Matsushima Teruku used to play the No. 3 position in singles, but this time he suddenly changed to the No. 2 singles position to face Fan Zhendong, which caught the national table tennis team off guard. In addition, Fan Zhendong had a stomachache before the game and kept covering his stomach with a warm water bag, which may have affected his performance.
The speed of improvement of Japan's post-00 players is visible to the naked eye. Matsushima Glow and Shinozuka Daito have a great influence on the main players of national table tennis.
National table tennis players Matsushima Huigula, Shinozuka Daito and Lin Shidong are basically players of the same age. Judging from this year's Busan World Table Tennis Championships, in addition to Tomokazu Zhangmoto being able to win a game against the main force of national table tennis, the other two Japanese youngsters were also able to win a game against Fan Zhendong and Ma Long. Surprisingly, our previous impression of the Japanese players was that they could only play close court and were weak in mid-to-long field. However, Matsushima Teru and Shinozuka Kantoda can also compete with Fan Zhendong and Ma Long in COSCO Taiwan.
Matsushima Teruku dared to go head-to-head with Fan Zhendong, and in the face of a backhand, he didn't suffer too much. Daiden Shinozuka defended Ma Long's forehand offense in COSCO Taiwan and was able to defend several rebounds. National table tennis has been implementing a wolf breeding plan before. Although we have stopped mentioning this plan in recent years with the use of 40+ big balls, Matsushima Glow and Shinozuka Daito have had a big impact on us. Of course, there are also factors that we haven't studied in depth for these two newcomers. However, their influence and future potential do attract the attention of national table tennis.
What do you think of 16-year-old Matsushima Glow Light? When he enters his 20s, will he be thoroughly studied and killed by the national table tennis, or will the threat grow?
