On February 8, Beijing time, the 38-year-old national table tennis world champion Hao Shuai appeared again, ushering in another world champion in the Japanese Table Tennis T League, that is, the 28-year-old Japanese celebrity Makoto Yoshimura. Although the age difference between the two is 10 years, Hao Shuai still plays a heroic role, winning 3-1 strongly, teaching the juniors a vivid lesson and showing the superb level of Chinese table tennis.
As an athlete who was once on a par with Olympic champions Wang Hao, Chen Xuan and others, Hao Shuai can still show his might on the field and defeat many opponents in Japan so far last year. As for Maharu Yoshimura, he has suffered a 3-game losing streak in the T-League in February, which is really not in good shape!
Speaking of Hao Shuai's name, the old fans should know and know everyone. As early as the beginning of this century, together with Wang Hao, Chen Xuan, Zhang Chao, Qiu Yike and Shan Mingjie, he was known as the "Six Little Dragons" of the national table tennis men's team, and was the young star with the most cultivation potential at that time, but unfortunately he has not been able to rank among the top five main players in the World Table Tennis Championships.
However, hao shuai can maintain the sixth ranking in the talented Chinese table tennis team for a long time, and Hao Shuai is by no means an idle person. No, after joining Japan's T-League last year, the 38-year-old Hao Shuai almost remained unbeaten in singles and became the absolute main force of the Okayama team, beating other island male athletes to the next level, and the Battle of February 8 was no exception.
Makoto Yoshimura was once the core main force of the Japanese team, and he also won the mixed doubles gold medal of the World Table Tennis Championships with Ishikawa Yoshijun, with good strength and so much younger age than Hao Shuai, so everyone felt that this time the old man would face greater difficulties.
However, after the game began, Yoshimura Makoto only won the first set with a special format of 11-10, and then lost three consecutive sets and scored few points (4-11, 7-11, 6-11) - in this way, Hao Shuai very easily achieved a big reversal, winning the "battle between the old and the new" with a big score of 3-1.
In the T-League in February, Makoto Yoshimura has lost three consecutive matches, including a loss to 30-year-old veteran Kenta Matsudaira, who has withdrawn from the Japanese national team on February 5 (the two of them also played in the Japanese National Championship in January, and kenta Matsudaira also won), lost to the 14-year-old Japanese teenager Matsushima Huikong on February 7, and now lost to the 38-year-old Hao Shuai on February 8.
So can Hao Shuai continue to exert his prestige in the future competitions and use the techniques he learned in national table tennis to achieve "dimensionality reduction strikes" on other Japanese table tennis players? Let's wait and see: Come on, veteran!
