2022 national table tennis opening year first battle ended, mixed doubles side, Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin's combination came back to get the first mixed doubles championship of the beginning of the year, the women's side, Wang Manyu performed strongly, swept Liu Shiwen to win the championship, men's singles Wang Chuqin also defeated Lin Gaoyuan and won the opening year award.
The WTT Macau Championship is over, but at the award ceremony, Liu Guoliang's performance still caused a lot of controversy. For example, when awarding the male table tennis award, Liu Guoliang first chatted with Wang Chuqin, and then touched Wang Chuqin's face like a loving father, and gave Wang Chuqin some encouragement, and Liu Guoliang's words also made Wang Chuqin's eyes tearful.
On the side of "Little Fat" Fan Zhendong, although Xiao Fat's results in this Macao station were not ideal, Liu Guoliang also smiled and bent the moon, and went forward to touch Fan Zhendong's face for comfort. Liu Guoliang's words also restored the morale of Fan Zhendong's side.
Compared with the interaction on the men's table tennis side, when awarding the women's table tennis awards, Liu Guoliang's actions on this side have been questioned by many fans. Why? When awarding the award to the women's table tennis, Liu Guoliang did not have the excitement of the male table tennis award, in addition to the high-fives with Wang Manyu in this process, Liu Guoliang was almost black-faced throughout the whole process, there was not much expression, Liu Guoliang's move also triggered a heated discussion among fans, and even some fans sent a mockery: You (Liu Guoliang) are not happy, I am happy, obviously this part of the fans should be more fans of Liu Shiwen.
Why did Liu Guoliang react with such a differentiated treatment? As we all know, after the Tokyo Olympic Games, for the future of national table tennis, Liu Guoliang has been promoting the upgrading of national table tennis, and even for Ma Long, who is evergreen, Liu Guoliang once said whether to recommend Ma Long to retire and make room for young people.
Houston World Table Tennis Championships, WTT World Cup Annual Finals, three veterans withdrew, this is also a compromise of veterans, the opportunity to give young people, and the first battle of the opening year of 2022 has become the test results, the men's table tennis side, the final to the final is Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin is eliminated Ma Long, such a test result is Liu Guoliang wants to see, which also helps the replacement of men's table tennis, Liu Guoliang will naturally be in a good mood.
What about women's table tennis? The result was unexpected by Liu Guoliang, especially Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, who were highly expected, were out early, and Sun Yingsha lost to Liu Shiwen, such a report card is difficult to satisfy Liu Guoliang, especially after winning the mixed doubles championship and the women's singles runner-up, Liu Shiwen, who once had a transformation mentality, once again said that she returned to the mentality of winning at the age of 18 and 19, and also hoped to play more games in 2022. Such a statement undoubtedly disrupted Liu Guoliang's deployment of upgrading, but Liu Shiwen's achievements were solid, and Liu Guoliang was not easy to block, which may also be the reason why he was in a bad mood.
