At present, the national table tennis troops have arrived at the beijing confluence and started a new round of training, while our strong opponent Japan's T League continues.
On January 9, the T-League ushered in a focus battle, with former national table tennis world champion and 38-year-old veteran Hao Shuai facing the 2021 All Japan Championships men's singles champion and Chuan Ruiji.
Veteran Hao Shuai played very well in this game, defeating his opponents with a score of 3-0 and helping his Okayama team to victory.
Perhaps many young fans are not familiar with Hao Shuai, such a 38-year-old veteran, why can he play in Japan and be so good?
In fact, Hao Shuai was also once regarded as the star of hope for Chinese men's table tennis, and when he was young, he was once known as the Six Little Dragons of Chinese men's table tennis with Wang Hao, Chen Xuan, Qiu Yike, etc.!
As early as 2003, Hao Shuai, who was only 20 years old at the time, reached the men's singles final of the ITTF year-end finals, and unfortunately lost to Wang Hao in the final.
But since then, the gap between Hao Shuai and Wang Hao has become wider and wider, Wang Hao has become the absolute main force of Chinese men's table tennis, while Hao Shuai has gradually been marginalized, and the reason for all this is because of a game.
This game is the 2005 Shanghai World Table Tennis Championships, when Hao Shuai successfully reached the men's singles quarterfinals, 1/4 final, Hao Shuai's opponent is the Danish star Meizi, Meizi defeated Wang Hao 4-0 in the last round of the game, with good strength!
However, Hao Shuai faced Metz, took a 3-0 lead in the big score, and won the match point in the fourth set, but he played more and more conservatively, and finally was tragically overturned by Metz!
This game has a very great impact on Hao Shuai, Liu Guoliang believes that Hao Shuai's psychological quality is too poor to take on heavy responsibilities, since then, Hao Shuai's opportunities are getting less and less, and he has never been able to enter the main layer of national table tennis.
However, Hao Shuai still did not give up his love for table tennis, although he could not become the main force, but Hao Shuai still conscientiously did a good job of sparring and helped the main players to improve their strength.
In 2021, Hao Shuai signed for Japan's T League and began another career playing in Japan.
In the Japanese T League, Hao Shuai's strength is very strong, and in the competition on January 8, Hao Shuai defeated the singles participant Of the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan, Niwa Takashi!
In the match on January 9, Hao Shuai continued his good form, defeating Japan's all-day men's singles champion and KazumiZuki 3-0.
So far, Hao Shuai has only lost two games in the T League!
You know, And Chuan Ruiji is still playing very well in the T League, not long ago, he was rated as the MVP (Most Valuable Player) in the first half of the season by the T League organizers, but now facing China's 38-year-old veteran Hao Shuai, he was swept 0-3!
It can be seen that Hao Shuai's strength is indeed not to be underestimated, although he is 38 years old, he still maintains a very good state!
I hope that Hao Shuai will cheer up and be able to glow the second spring of his career in a foreign country!
