On March 3, Beijing time, the table tennis T League ushered in the final showdown of the men's team in the 2021~2022 season, the national table tennis rival Zhang Benzhi and the leading Tokyo team played well, 3-1 Nick Caiyu team won the championship, and Zhang Benzhihe also swept the dark horse player Zeng Genxiang, who had previously won 3 consecutive victories over himself, re-proving his "one brother" status in Japanese table tennis, but only won 2 points in each round, which was a bit dangerous.
As for The other Olympic main player of the Japanese team, Niwa Takashi, not to be outdone, 3-0 to Zhang Benzhihe's teammate Yuya Oshima to keep a clean sheet, but unfortunately he only scored 1 point in the end, resulting in a 1-3 defeat to the Caiyu Club on aggregate, and finally relegated to the second place. After winning the championship, Zhang Benzhihe and his teammates are very excited, and he is about to compete with the national table tennis for the WTT Grand Slam title, which cannot be underestimated!
Tokyo has always been a strong team in the T-League, having previously sat three Japanese national champions Zhang Benzhihe, Mizutani Hayabusa, Kazukawa Ruiji and a Chinese national champion Hou Yingchao, but last year still did not play against the Ryukyu team led by Makoto Yoshimura, so this year is bound to make a comeback and win the crown.
Relatively speaking, the strength of the Caiyu Club led by Niwa Takashi is much worse, but because the Tokyo Club did not renew its contract with Hou Yingchao, and Mizutani Hayabusa also retired, the gap between the two sides has narrowed, and the final is still a bit of a look, the key is to see if the Caiyu team can at least spell Zhang Benzhi and 1 point.
After the start of the match, Tokyo's Yuya Oshima / Kenta Tian took the lead against Kenta Matsudaira / Hitoshi Ueda, the level of the two sides was actually half a pound, but today the former was significantly stronger in will to fight, and the result was two consecutive sets of 11-9 and 11-8, and the big score was 2-0 to usher in the opening victory.
In the second set, Zhang Benzhihe appeared and then fought Zeng Genxiang - obviously, the Wishful Thinking of the Caiyu Team was to let Zeng Genxiang beat Zhang Benzhihe again, and then leave the number one main force Niwa Takashi to win others, but this time Zhang Benzhihe directly bombed a 3-0 score to win the victory, but all three sets were 11-9, which shows that this is also a narrow victory!
In the third set, Niwa Takashi did not live up to the high expectations of the Caiyu team, also 3-0 swept the former Japanese national team main player Yuya Oshima (11-4, 12-10, 11-6), the total score was chased to 1-2, the situation eased, but still in a desperate situation, and it would be finished if it lost another set.
Then in the fourth set, Tokyo Club's national champion and Kawa Ryukichi appeared, and staged a five-set battle with Hidetsuka Daiden, who ended up 0-1 at the beginning, and was bombarded 1-11 by the other side in the fourth set, but still managed to laugh to the end, 3-2 reverse reversal (7-11, 11-7, 11-9, 1-11, 11-8), and the whole team also won the championship.
Zhang Benzhihe's preparation focus will be on March 7, when the six main players of national table tennis Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin and young players Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong will all play, and the top athletes of the foreign association such as Boer, Hugo, Zheng Rongzhi and others will also appear, and the competition is bound to be very fierce!
So can Zhang Benzhihe use the T League to win the championship, play well in international competitions and threaten national table tennis? The answer is about to be revealed, let's wait and see what happens: come on, Chinese team!
