On the afternoon of January 19, a unique special game of national table tennis kicked off - liu fei, a sharpball player, returned after leaving the national team last year to compete with Zhang Rui, a fast-paced athlete.
Usually in the team, Liu Fei will imitate the outside association cutting master Hitomi Sato, Han Ying and other people, and Zhang Rui is an imitator of Ito Mimako, both of whom have made great contributions to the whole team, and now they are fighting in Macau, and as a result, Liu Fei was eliminated 1-3 after 4 sets of hard fighting, and did not qualify for the top eight.
See below for details.
Liu Fei and Zhang Rui are representatives of the current non-mainstream playing athletes in the table tennis world, with solid basic skills and very characteristic technology. But as we all know, this type of athlete often has a place in other associations, but it is difficult to stand out in the Chinese team, because their strengths are prominent, the loopholes are obvious, and if they practice with their teammates for a long time, they will have less and less advantages.
From the overall level, Zhang Rui should be stronger. Coupled with the fact that Liu Fei left the national team last year, the recent training may be affected, and today's battle is more fierce and less auspicious. As for Zhang Rui, he can take the opportunity to improve his ability to deal with chipping today, after all, Ito Mimachi is also a veteran expert in this field and rarely loses to chippers.
Sure enough, after the game began, Zhang Rui played a strong way of playing raw glue, like Ito Mimachi, constantly suppressing the opponent with speed, and then won the first set 11-8. In the second set, Zhang Rui still grasped the initiative on the field, and won 11-5, and soon forced Liu Fei into a desperate situation with a 2-0 lead.
In the third set, Liu Fei fought back to the water, and finally made a certain change in his own ball path, and the threat of cutting the counterattack was also slightly reflected, and the last ball was taken down, and he pulled back a city at 12-10, avoiding the fate of being swept away.
After the start of the fourth set, the two sides played very fiercely, and Liu Fei had the possibility of biting the score to turn over. But in the second half, Zhang Rui's attack was more ferocious, and Liu Fei made consecutive mistakes, resulting in her 8-11 losing the entire game, the big score was eliminated 1-3, and the single "round trip" ended the battle.
Today's game Liu Fei played a little stuffy, the rhythm of the game is not strong, to Zhang Rui's return ball is more comfortable. And Zhang Rui's control of the game is good, he did not make a big mistake, and it is normal to win the battle in the end: congratulations to her! Looking forward to the back play can be better, come on!
