The 2021/2022 Japan Table Tennis T League schedule is just over halfway through, and Kawazuki and Hashimoto Aresei are named the best male and female athletes in the Japanese League halfway, and in the next round of competition, Hashimoto, who represented Kyushu Club, was in the women's singles key battle 2-3 (
10-11/11-10/8-11/11-8/9-11) lost to Miyu Kato, one of the top eight women's singles at the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, which also led to Kyushu's eventual 3-0 defeat by The Japan Paint Club.
Hashimoto played a total of 11 matches in the first half of the Japanese league season, including five women's doubles wins with Hitomi Sato and nine wins in singles, the largest number of wins among all the contestants. The reason why Hashimoto Fan Naika has won more than one loss in the Japanese league is more or less related to the lack of strength of young Japanese players to pull the ball, many young players can not penetrate the defense line of the players, and eventually the more they play, the more they play, resulting in self-defeat and continuous loss, the Kyushu head coach who looks at this phenomenon also sends Hashimoto Fan Naika to play the first single, focusing on the two sets of singles, and strives to get 2 points.
The Japanese Paint Club has the World Table Tennis Championships women's singles player Shibata Saji, the young Oto Sazuki and the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships women's singles final 8 Kato Miyu and other players, they in this game, the first set with Shibata Saji / Oto Sazuki to play the lead, Kyushu women's doubles sent Hitomi Sato / Shiomi Masaki partner, the result is that after 3 rounds of fighting, or the paint team's two attacker combinations are better to achieve a good start, and then the second set of singles paint team Kato Miyu against Kyushu team Hashimoto Fan Naoka, especially for the Kyushu team.
In the first round, Miyu Kato and Naoka Hashimoto are multi-round tug-of-war, due to the lack of absolute strength of Kato Miyu, she is more by rubbing the ball to control the landing point, let Hashimoto Sail Noka reduce the quality of the ball in the movement, and then wait for the opportunity to pull up, the score has been hit 10-10 since I hit the middle, according to the rules of the Japanese league, there is no need to add 2 points, and whoever gets to 11 points first wins the game, Kato Miyu directly won the last 1 point with the squat side cutting serve of the hand, Take the lead 11-10.
There was not much difference between the second set and the first set, it was still Hashimoto Fan Naika who wanted to use the backhand to cut the ball to limit Kato Miyu's attack, and Kato Miyu used the ball to control the landing point without giving Hashimoto The chance to cut back, but in the active attack, there were more mistakes limited by Hashimoto's spin, and the score once again came to 10-10, this time Hashimoto Fan Naoka took advantage of the opponent's mistake to win back a set 11-10.
In the 3rd set, Kato had two luck balls each time, which disrupted the rhythm of Hashimoto's slashing ball, which made the score quickly open, Kato Miyu took an 11-8 lead, but then in the fourth set, Kato Miyu, who was eager to win, lost herself in consecutive multi-board pulls, and Hashimoto took the opportunity to drag the game to the decider 11-8. The tiebreaker scored the same as the first four sets and reached the final stages, with Miyu Kato winning 11-9.
In 2019, With a unique squat cut-and-go serve, Miyu Kato defeated world no. 1 Chen Meng in the Open, and defeated the biggest favorite Hayata Hina in the Japan Trials to qualify for the Women's Singles championships in Hungary, and reached the quarterfinals in one fell swoop, losing to Liu Shiwen, who won the championship in the quarterfinals. Miyu Kato and Noka Hashimoto are both the strength of the top 8 of the Japanese women's team, but the age is slightly older, the Japan Table Tennis Association has always advocated the main team is young, they can not achieve results in the international arena, and will gradually be replaced by young players such as Miyu Kihara and Miyu Nagasaki.
