As we all know, before each World Table Tennis Championships, the national table tennis will hold a direct selection tournament to the World Table Tennis Championships.
But everyone is not so satisfied with this through race, because each pass race can always produce only one or two places at most, the coaching staff will always leave at least two mobile places, in case the main players in the team can not stand out in the through race, these two mobile places will be given to the main players who have not succeeded in the pass.
Fans always disagree with this, believing that since it is a direct pass, all the places should be generated through the direct race.
In fact, in the history of Chinese men's table tennis, there has really been such a direct competition, and the quota of the five World Table Tennis Championships has all been produced through the selection competition.
This is the selection of the 2010 Moscow World Table Tennis Championships.
Before the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships, since 2006, the lineup of Chinese men's table tennis participating in the World Table Tennis Championships has always been Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Chen Xuan and Ma Long.
However, after the Beijing Olympic Games, the team faced a serious problem of aging, and there was an urgent need for young athletes to rush up, so in this case, the Chinese men's table tennis held a selection tournament directly to Moscow.
In the first stage of the selection competition, Xu Xin, who was still a young player at the time, was the first to pass through successfully and qualified for the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships.
The second person to win the direct quota was Zhang Jike, who first defeated Wang Liqin, then Wang Hao, and finally defeated Ma Long in the final to qualify for the second qualification.
In this way, there are still three places left, which will need to be generated between Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, Wang Hao and Ma Long.
In the third stage of the selection competition, Malone finally stood out and won the third qualification.
In this way, Wang Liqin, Ma Lin and Wang Hao will compete for the remaining two places.
In this case, Liu Guoliang decided to remember the ultimate PK, two or two battles.
In the selection match of the fourth stage, Wang Hao defeated Wang Liqin and Ma Lin successively, and Wang Liqin was defeated by Wang Hao, but defeated Ma Lin, and Ma Lin lost both battles, so Wang Hao difficulty obtained the fourth qualification.
The cruelest ultimate PK has arrived, that is, the three-time World Table Tennis Championships men's singles champion Wang Liqin to meet the Beijing Olympic men's singles champion Ma Lin!
This game is very cruel for two people, you know, both people have participated in five team world table tennis championships before, and have made great contributions to the Chinese men's table tennis championship.
But in this game, it is destined that only one of the two people will qualify for the World Table Tennis Championships, and the person who is eliminated will most likely mean that the main layer of men's table tennis will be stacked.
In the first set, Wang Liqin quickly entered the state of the game, taking a 7-1 lead at the beginning, after which the two scored each other, and Wang Liqin led 9-3.
However, in this case, Marlene suddenly burst out of great energy, he chased 3 points in a row, chasing the score to 6-9, and then Wang Liqin scored another point to win the set point 10-6.
But Marlene still did not give up, in this case, saved 4 consecutive set points, and finally won the first set with a score of 12-10.
In the second set, Marlene still fell behind at the beginning, Wang Liqin once again took a 7-1 lead, this time, Wang Liqin did not miss the opportunity, with an 11-6 score to win back a set.
In the third set, the two fought fiercely at the beginning, the score fought all the way to 6 draws, and at the critical moment, Marlene was more decisive, winning another set with an 11-8 score, leading 2-1.
In the fourth set of the game, Wang Liqin began to hesitate a little, and Ma Lin seized the opportunity to score consecutive points and took a 7-0 lead, although Wang Liqin tried his best, but there was too much behind in front, in the end, Ma Lin defeated Wang Liqin with an 11-4 score and won the last place in the World Table Tennis Championships.
When Marlene won the last point, she shouted her arms, while Wang Liqin next to her looked very lonely.
Perhaps at this moment, Wang Liqin also realized that he would never have the opportunity to participate in such a big competition as the Team World Table Tennis Championships again, after all, Wang Liqin was 32 years old at the time, and it was indeed time to say goodbye!
