On February 10, Beijing time, the Japanese Table Tennis T League continued, and the Olympic main player of the Japanese table tennis national team, Niwa Takashi, suffered another fiasco, losing 1-3 to the former main player and the world table tennis mixed doubles champion Maharu Yoshimura.
Prior to this, Niwa Takashi has been upset in the T League many times, and the athlete who was once pinned high hopes by Japanese fans and has a "dream feel" is now neither as good as the retired brother Mizutani Hayabusa, nor can he match the later junior Zhang Benzhihe, the state is really bad, and the Paris Olympic cycle has to be refueled.
Born in 1994, Niwa Takashi is a representative of the Traditional Japanese Men's Table Tennis "Feel Flow" sect, his routine in the game is elusive, often unexpectedly return the ball, even the national table tennis Olympic champions Ma Long, Xu Xin have lost in his hands, the world ranking is often high in The forefront of Japan, is a player with distinctive characteristics.
However, with the development of the times, table tennis technology is more and more advocating high-quality offense, so the pressure of Niwa Takashi, who is small in strength, is also very large, and the internal and external battles in the past two years have not been played well, and although the attendance rate of the T League is very high, the winning rate is very general, which is very inconsistent with its identity as the main Olympic force, which is very surprising.
In the battle with Makoto Yoshimura on February 10, Niwa Takashi also fought very badly, and was hit by the opponent's consecutive 7-11, 8-11 scores, which was put into a desperate situation. In the third set, although Niwa Takashi returned an 11-2 deficit to win back Ichijo, he lost 5-11 in the fourth set, resulting in a 1-3 loss to the whole game.
It is worth mentioning that Yoshimura Makoto's recent state is also very poor, and even pulled down by 14-year-old young general Matsushima Huikong, but he did not expect that Niwa Takashi was going to perform worse than him, so the world champion regained his strength and the Olympic main force broke into the sand.
As mentioned earlier, today's table tennis world is indeed not very friendly to feel flow athletes, and Lin Yunru, a Young Chinese Taipei player who is close to Niwa Xiaoxi's playing style, has also fallen into a downturn in recent months, so if Ma Long retires in the future, the table tennis world may gradually "unify" with athletes with strength balls and stalemate play.
A month later, Niwa Takashi is likely to appear on the battlefield of the WTT Grand Slam Tournament, when the civil war is frustrated, can he play better in the foreign war? Let's wait and see!
