On the afternoon of March 24, Beijing time, the Chinese table tennis team ushered in the last contest of the WTT Doha regular season, and yuan Licen, a 21-year-old young player ranked only 264 in the world, won the championship in the men's singles final 4-2 against the German Chinese direct shooter Qiu Dang - because Fan Siqi has already reached the top in the women's singles final, so the national table tennis has successfully won two singles championships, which is really gratifying!
It is worth mentioning that the father of this Qiu Party, Qiu Jianxin, is the mentor of Zhang Benzhihe, Mizutani Hayabusa, Niwa Takashi, Ishikawa Yoshijun, the ace coach of the Japanese team, who has a very in-depth study of the technical playing style of national table tennis, and usually also has a lot of counseling for his son, although he failed to win this time, but the national table tennis must not be taken lightly, and it is still necessary to seriously study and guard against this father and son.
Yuan Licen and Qiu Dang are both rookies in the table tennis world in recent years, the latter is relatively older, and has participated in the World Championships, coupled with his father's fame is not small, so it is relatively more widely known, but because the German team has long been controlled by veterans such as Pol and Ocharov, the rise of the Qiu Party is not very fast.
From the perspective of playing style, Qiu Dang inherited many of the essence of the Chinese direct shooting school, and had previously played with liang Jingkun, the main force of national table tennis, and this Doha regular season cold eliminated the world's no. 4 seed Hugo, which is indeed not to be underestimated. However, Yuan Licen once defeated Ma Long, and this time eliminated Lin Yunru, the world's No. 6 second seed, and was not a vegetarian.
After the game began, both sides made more mistakes in the first set, obviously not very accustomed to each other's ball path, and at the same time had the intention of testing each other, and did not dare to let go too much to attack. After the central game, Yuan Licen gradually gained the advantage, but he did not grasp it in the case of a 10-8 lead, and as a result, he was chased by the other side for 4 consecutive points and lost 10-12, and the game was a bit messy.
In the second set, Qiu Dang once again took the advantage of the opening lead, but Yuan Licen quickly counterattacked successfully, and won the set point 10-8, but this time the right to serve was in his hands, and this time he finally did not drop the chain again, using his own backhand to twist and pull successfully score, 11-8 to pull back a city, the two sides returned to the same running line.
In the third set, Yuan Licen gradually occupied the initiative on the field, insisting on rotating his arc ball to make it full, so that Qiu Dang's direct shooting advantage could not be played, and then won the victory easily 11-4 to achieve a counter-overtake. In the fourth set, Yuan Licen continued to work hard, and won another 11-5, a big score of 3-1 lead to force Qiu Dang into a desperate situation.
In the fifth set, Qiu Dang had no way to retreat, and he was sure to fight, at this time luck also helped him a lot, and soon after he played, there was a situation of wiping the net and wiping the edges, and in the second half, he won 11-9 by relying on techniques such as straight shooting and horizontal play to win back a city. In the sixth set, Yuan Licen did not give Qiu Dang another chance, and finally locked up the victory 11-5, defeated the opponent with a big score of 4-2, and won the championship in the end: it was really good!
In today's game, Yuan Licen's advantage was originally very large, because the left-handed horizontal shooting players naturally restrained the right-hander straight-shooting players on the way, and the training conditions of the national table tennis were far better than those of the German team, so it was not surprising that he won the game, but Qiu Dang's play was indeed impressive, and in time it would become a very difficult opponent.
At present, it seems that the power of Qiu Dang's forehand in the near stage has increased recently, and many attacks have the style of Marlene at that time, which is very rare in the era of inorganic glue and 40+ big balls, but it is still more dependent on his own backhand horizontal play, it is easy to drop the chain after retiring from the stage, it seems that Qiu Jianxin did not solve the problem of Zhang Benzhi and the forehand before, and now he has not solved the problem of his son's forehand.
Finally, congratulations to the national table tennis again! It is expected that Yuan Licen can continue to make progress and impact the position of the main force of national table tennis: come on, young people!
