Chinese high jumper Zhang Guowei once said on his social account: My surname is Arrogant Zhang, and I also have the same "Zhang's indifference".
This topic, after the opening of this year's Tokyo Olympic Games, was hotly searched on the top, causing everyone to take stock of the famous "Zhang's indifference" shots in the sports world.
Looking at the Chinese sports world, more and more people have become the clear stream of sports.
For example, Yang Qian, Ma Long, Su Bingtian and others have been excavated to be both sports heroes and school bullies.
But there are others who are known as "mudslides" in The Chinese sports scene.
For example: Zhang Yining, Zhang Jike and Zhang Mengxue.
Especially Zhang Yining, known as the "Great Devil", that cold, arrogant, and full of spirited face has been the nightmare of countless opponents in the table tennis arena.
01, the origin of the title of "Great Demon King"
As one of the five Grand Slam winners of Chinese women's table tennis, and the only double grand slam winner in the world table tennis world, Zhang Yining's name is well known to sports fans around the world.
The reason why Zhang Yining is called the "Great Demon King" is mainly because she is too strong!
In terms of aura, she is definitely the king.
As soon as she stopped there, the atmosphere on the field suddenly changed, and her aura was powerful, which made people feel a sense of respect.
Both the opponent and the audience are quickly brought into her rhythm.
In terms of strength, there is no way she can win, only to see if she wants to win.
The excitement of competitive sports is that the external environment and internal environment at a specific time will affect the individual's state, and only those who release all their energy can win.
Some people win the championship by strength, some people win the championship by luck, if we go to the game, we can only rely on imagination.
For Zhang Yining, it is easy to retract and relax, and the wins and losses are under control.
Sometimes she plays small games that don't matter, and she loses the ball after two hits.
The coach asked her why she didn't play well?
She will say, you don't want this result, I am in a hurry.
Her coach couldn't do anything about her.
Some netizens said that after watching table tennis matches for so many years, I have never seen Zhang Yining beaten to the defense of the stage. Not to mention that she was forced to use cross steps.
In the table tennis court, she always has the initiative.
In terms of record, few people can compare with her at present.
Won a Grand Slam many times, won 19 world championships, beat his opponents to the point of collapse...
Even the coach couldn't help but advise her to "be merciful to her subordinates."
In terms of aura, strength, and achievements, they have reached a height that others cannot reach, so the title of "Great Demon King" has been called open.
What does a table tennis player with no world ranking look like?
That's right, it's Zhang Yining!
It is speculated that because Zhang Yining did not lose in the world competition during the time of the competition, it was impossible to confirm the ranking.
Because according to the regulations of the International Table Tennis Federation, new players and old players with rankings in the world PK, only win 5 games and lose 5 games, in order to determine the points.
And Zhang Yining, did not lose!
02, the wonderful story of the "Great Devil" in those years
Zhang Yining's title of "Great Devil King" has a long history, and the wonderful story about her is a hot spot after the game, and there are many examples that make people talk about it.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Zhang Yining and Ai Fukuhara played against each other.
In this game, Fukuhara ai was beaten to cry on the court, and with zero points of acting, he deliberately threw the ball directly to the ground and performed the ball on the spot.
The audience who watched that game said, as far as this acting skill is concerned, the whole world knows that you are conceding!
Afterwards, Fukuhara ai said, I didn't dare to look her eyes at all!
The eyes of the Great Demon King, the lethality is not generally large! On the field, looking at her for 5 seconds, it seems that you can concede 5 goals.
Zhang Yining said in an interview that many times when I shake hands with my opponent, I know that I have won.
In another game, Zhang Yining's coach asked her to give her opponent a few balls and record the whole process.
As a result, Zhang Yining said that the ball was too short just now, and I was afraid that she would not be able to catch it.
This is enough to reflect Zhang Yining's strength and self-confidence.
"My surname is Zhang, arrogant Zhang!"
I don't know how many people regard this sentence as a stem, thinking that this is a paragraph written by netizens.
In fact, it is really the self-introduction of "Great Demon King" Zhang Yining!
Shocked? "The Great Demon King" is not a casual shout.
In addition to this self-introduction, which is often mistaken for a paragraph, Zhang Yining has many golden sentences that catch people off guard.
Someone asked her why she always had a blue face in the arena, and she gave a mysterious look and said: I haven't been really happy since the day I played! (Lonely defeat)
Interviewed about whether there is any playing style that is more unaccustomed, she said: "I don't have a bad way of playing. ”
She also regretted that she couldn't sweat when she played because there was no opponent!
This sounds like "Versailles", but it is placed on the "Great Devil", and it is so natural.
When he retired, he was interviewed why he retired at the peak, Zhang Yining once said that his skills were already very good, all the championships were won, even the Grand Slams were won twice, what is the use of playing again? There are no more challenges.
Putting this sentence on others will only make people feel arrogant and arrogant, but putting it on Zhang Yining's body will make people feel that this is the case.
"Table tennis belongs to me, I don't take the first who takes the first!"
You see, it's just so arrogant, it's so strong!
Today, the "Great Devil" is no longer in the sports arena, and her legend is still circulating in the sports arena.
03, Torrent Hero,Happy Life
After more than ten years of playing in the table tennis arena and winning 19 world championships, Zhang Yining chose to retire.
Although she is still in her current year of playing, it may be that as she said, table tennis is already less challenging for her.
She needs to look elsewhere for more challenges.
After retiring from the army, she did game commentary and became a table tennis coach.
At the Tokyo Olympics, when Wang Nan and Zhang Yining were on the spot to explain, Liu Guoliang also took the opportunity to ridicule them: you two can't play, you can only explain!
She said that table tennis belonged to her, so after retiring, she has also been contributing to the country's sports career and development.
After retiring from the army, Zhang Yining's love life is also very happy.
She married Xu Wei, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman 20 years older than herself, and in the midst of countless doubts, Zhang Yining replied to all the voices of doubt with her unique "big devil" indifferent face.
She said that when I look for a partner, I don't look at the age identity of the other party, the first thing I see is that the three views are not correct, I have to be admired, and I have to love me from the bottom of my heart.
Zhang Yining, who is now a mother of two children, is pampered by her husband and recently received a set of courtyards in Beijing.
You know, this courtyard is not the former broken house, but the "Imperial City Root Mansion" that has been seriously passed on by tens of millions.
In addition to her own commentary, she also served as an assistant dean to the China Table Tennis Academy, assisting Shi Zhihao, who was the dean, in managing the school and guiding teaching.
From time to time, she will also travel around the world to participate in table tennis exchange activities and take her daughter to the competition site to watch the game.
There is money, there is leisure, there is a career, there is a lover and a child who loves her. Zhang Yining can be said to have retired from the peak of the sports world and embarked on a new peak of life.
"How lonely it is to be invincible."
This lyric seems to be the most suitable for Zhang Yining.
Her attitude towards life is also like her playing ball, fast, fierce and accurate.
Don't do things that don't matter, don't have extra emotions, and work hard 100% on what you identify.
It is also such an attitude, even if she returns to the family, she is still the "big devil" who is arrogant and arrogant.
Although Zhang Yining has left the table tennis world for so many years, her "magic legend" will continue to be passed down, and her momentum and spirit will always encourage future athletes.
