After Wang Yidi beat 21-year-old Puerto Rican teenager Diaz 3-1, another national table tennis player, Chen Xingtong, also won his opponent 3-0 in the quarter-finals. Although Chen Xingtong did not have good results in the team, he was not afraid of anyone in the foreign war. Facing Hirano Miyu's match, it was supposed to be a tough battle, but it turned out to be a one-sided game.
Chen Xingtong had a bit of an ice beauty feeling, her face was always cold, and she rarely saw a smile on her face. Perhaps this is also why at the World Table Tennis Championships, the commentator felt that Chen Xingtong's performance in the team was not good, because his face was a little less domineering. Indeed, Chen Xingtong gave people the feeling that people and animals are harmless and have no quarrel with the world. In fact, Chen Xingtong is a capable player, who has a great advantage in holding the ball, if the game is dragged into his own rhythm, the opponent will only have to wait for death. No, against Miyu Hirano, Chen Xingtong let his opponent into his own rhythm.
Hirano Miyu is also one of the more powerful players in Japanese table tennis, only 21 years old, ranking 13th in the world. At the age of 17, she defeated Ding Ning, Zhu Yuling and Chen Menggui, the three main players of national table tennis, in the Asian Championships, and also became the youngest player to win the championship at the Asian Championships. Chen Xingtong ranked 15th, the two finalists met, originally thought it was a fierce battle, but Chen Xingtong swept the opponent 3-0 without bloodshed, hitting Hirano Miyu shaking his head and sighing.
I don't know if it is due to the jet lag, Hirano Miyu is always in a state, with a little confusion in her eyes, and she looks like she has not woken up. As soon as the first set came up, Chen Xingtong made Hirano Miyu overwhelmed, and always took a big lead, winning the first set 11-6.
In the second set, although Hirano Miyu bit Hirano Miyu in the opening stage, Chen Xingtong won the ball one by one in the subsequent matchmaking, thus disrupting Hirano Miyu's rhythm and increasing the number of mistakes. Chen Xingtong took a 7-3 lead, and then Hirano Miyu chased three points in a row. In the face of Hirano Mino's pursuit of points, Chen Xingtong is still not hurried, a posture of the overall situation, followed by 4 points in a row, another 11-6, and then the next city.
Before the start of the third game, live footage was given to the coaches of both sides. Both coaches are arranging and arranging tactics for their players, Chen Xingtong's face is very calm, and Hirano Miyu has lost confidence and looks very frustrated. After the start of the game, Chen Xingtong made a good start of 4-1. Hirano Miyu saw this, not wanting to lose too quickly and too embarrassed, and simply called a pause. After the suspension came back, Chen Xingtong still firmly held the advantage in his hands, 6-3, 9-4, it seems that the overall situation has been decided. Hirano then recovered 2 points, and Chen Xingtong did not want to drag the game any further, so he also used a timeout to suppress Hirano's pursuit of points. After 8-9, Chen Xingtong scored two consecutive points to sweep 11-8, 3-0 to Miyu Hirano.
If there is no accident, in the quarterfinals, Chen Xingtong's opponent will be his teammate Sun Yingsha. I believe it will be a very exciting game, and everyone must not miss it. Whether Chen Xingtong wins or loses, she will get the support of the fans, at least she has never been afraid of anyone in the foreign war!
