WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament is on the second day of the competition, the national table tennis 19-year-old xiang Peng took the lead, did not expect to lose 0-3 to Denmark's Grote fiasco, but also the first player in the national table tennis in this event. Whether it is from the score or Xiang Peng's competitive state, the overall performance is very bad, and it is not at all like a player who has won three consecutive victories in the qualifiers.
Xiang Peng is the world youth championship singles champion, just participated in oman in the last leg, not only won the men's doubles championship, but also reached the final four in the singles competition. This time with the wild card to get the opportunity to participate in the Grand Slam, Xiang Peng won three consecutive victories during the qualifying round, and it is reasonable to say that he should have adapted to the rhythm of the game long ago. The result was just the opposite, Xiang Peng lost 3:11 as soon as he came up, and did not play at his true level. Although the mood of participating in the competition for the first time was tense, it was difficult to understand that it could not be adjusted.
In the next two sets, Xiang Peng tried his best to reverse the situation, but the effect was average, he still could not catch the key points, and finally regretted to be out. Since the start of the tournament, the national table tennis players have not suffered a defeat, not to mention losing 3-0, which is indeed a bit of a loss of face. Lin Shidong, who is about the same age as Xiang Peng, also participated in the first round of the main round, but he advanced to the opponent with a 3-0 clean sheet, and the gap between the two is obvious, which is not conducive to Xiang Peng's competition in the Paris cycle.
After losing the game, Xiang Peng's supervisor coach Cui Qinglei was quite angry, and he was directly angry and left early, and did not wait for his disciples at all. It can be seen that Cui Qinglei is not satisfied with the result of Xiang Peng's game and does not play the style of a post-00 young player. If you try your best to lose the game with your opponent, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, there is no need to be angry, but Xiang Peng's real strength is far above Grote, because he can't let go of his mentality, resulting in a cold loss.
Hou Yingchao and Yan An, the two veterans of national table tennis, did not save face for the master and disciple, and directly criticized the master and brother in the explanation. Hou Yingchao believes that we can't always focus on encouragement, and sometimes we really need criticism if we don't play well, otherwise it will be difficult for the players to grow. The last two years of national table tennis have been based on encouraging team members, but it is also necessary to divide the situation, if the players lose a lot of subjective factors, it really needs to be criticized and reminded. Yan An even more bluntly said that Xiang Peng is not like a player who has played a qualifier, but it is a bit like playing the first game, and the secret criticism xiang Peng is slow to enter the state.
Young players need to pay tuition to grow up gradually, Xiang Peng is no exception, losing this big game is not necessarily a bad thing, it is worth summarizing and reflecting. It should be known that Wang Chuqin often encountered a round trip in the main game before, and the head coach Liu Guozheng even suffered punishment along with it. Now it was Xiang Peng's turn to have problems one after another, and it was understandable that Cui Qinglei left early, after all, the disciple could not play well with the coach in charge and would also be affected.
