The 40th World Championships of 1989 soon began.
The team competition of 4 people, Chen Jing, Li Huifen was indisputably selected, and the competition for the other two places was much more intense, and the athletes of the 68 group were just in their right years, and what kind of playing style they had.
There are Liu Wei, Fan Jianxin and Qiao Hong who reverse glue on both sides of the horizontal plate, Ding Yaping, Li Jun, and He Qianhong who cut the ball, Gao Jun who is straight on the rubber, Chen Zihe on the straight board with long glue, Hu Xiaoxin who is anti-glue on the straight board, Deng Yaping and Jing Junhong who are anti-glue on the other side of the horizontal plate.
Coaches are also randomly charming, do not know how to choose, in this case, a series of international competitions at the end of 1988 has become an important assessment indicator.
As mentioned earlier, Deng defeated Li Huifen in the 1988 Asian Cup to win the championship, but this ball is suspected of winning, when the match point Li returned to the ball to wipe the edge, the referee did not find out and judged Deng to score, Deng did not take the initiative to admit that the ball wiped the edge, and even La Meng snatched the championship.
Although Zhang Xielin did not change his attitude towards Deng, I think this must have caused some coaches to resent in the national team, plus Deng was only 16 years old at the time, no one could rest assured that Huang Maotou would be the main force of the group, and Deng only reported 3 single items.
Qiao Hong had great hopes of reporting for the group, but Qiao Hong, who grinned greatly at the 1988 European Open, learned a solid lesson. Playing the North Korean team was originally a good opportunity to make a name for himself, but Joe went up and played a 3:2 narrow victory, not the main force like Lee Fan-ji, naturally excluded from the team lineup, and the first world championships of the two later absolute main forces were not reported to the team.
Finally, measuring all aspects, Hu Xiaoxin and Chen Zihe were selected into the team lineup, on the one hand, the Chinese team has the habit of being straight, and on the other hand, the strength of the European players represented by Popova, Horahova and other European athletes in the 88 Seoul Olympic Games is probably also an important factor in the use of Chen Zihe.
After Jiao Zhimin retired, Chen Jing is the number one main force, and the pairing of doubles also has to revolve around Chen Jing, and the first thing to consider when choosing a partner for Chen is Deng Yaping, because Although Deng is still small, he has already shown his strong forehand attack and excellent pace in the game, with Chen Jing, both people can play their own forehand killer skills, which should be a good choice.
But Chen Jing looked down on Deng Yaping, no wonder, Sister Deng was indeed a little shabby at that time, originally short, fat, Mandarin is not good, plus the 88 Asian Cup, it is also very normal to be despised in the team, Chen Jing and Liu Wei have a good relationship in private, Chen jokingly said to Liu: "The little fart child still wants to match me?" I don't know how this was known to Deng, and he also wrote to the enlightenment coach very wrongfully, saying that Chen Jing looked down on her.
However, it is very interesting that after the 40th session, Chen Jing cannot look down on Deng Yaping. In the 1989 China Open, they participated in the doubles, and in the final they defeated the chipping duo Ding Yaping and Li Jun to win the championship, which is also a later story.
In the end, Hu Xiaoxin and Chen Jing matched doubles, Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong cooperated, and the other 3 pairs were Ding Yaping and Li Jun, Liu Wei and Gao Jun, and the combination Li Huifen/Chen Zihe who later appeared in the team match.
In the team final, China and South Korea meet again.
The retirement of Liang Yingzi did greatly reduce the strength of the South Korean team, and the team game had to use the chipper Hong Shunhua, and the hope of winning was basically all pressed on Xuan Jinghe, under this pressure, Xuan Jinghe did not throw away the baggage after drawing 20 draws with Lee Huifen, and lost two points in a row;
Although Hong Shunhua miraculously cut the first set in the match with Chen Jing, but in the end the strength was not enough to win Chen Jing, who was the best at dealing with the chipping ball, and the Chinese team successfully won the third doubles game after the first two games, and defended the title again at 3:0.
In the singles, the tiger girls on the Korean Peninsula began to erupt, the first to be beaten was the Chinese team's women's singles second seed Li Huifen, she lost to North Korea's Ahn Hae-sook in the second round, as if contagious, in the back of the women's singles match against the Korean Peninsula players, Chinese players have fallen, Ding Yaping, Deng Yaping, Hu Xiaoxin lost to Li Fanji.
Gao Jun, Li Jun, Chen Zihe were knocked out by Xuan Jinghe, the two main forces of the Korean Peninsula and Chen Jing, Qiao Honghui division 4 strong, Chen Jing played not surprising, Qiao Hong hit in a bit of a surprise, after all, this is a player who has no previous achievements, people are ordinary, the ball is also ordinary.
In fact, Qiao Hong can have 40 years of achievements should also be thankful for An Haishu, because Qiao Hong is in a 1/4 district with Li Huifen, if Li Huifen hits it, then it will definitely be arranged to give up to Li Huifen, then it is really difficult to say whether there is qiao Hong today, fortunately, history can only be assumed and cannot be changed.
Qiao Hong's entry into the top 4 has surprised many people, but the Canadian Table Tennis Association at that time was not surprised, as a computer engineer, he wrote a magical program to calculate that the women's singles champion is Qiao Hong, and it was announced before the start of the game, no one took his prediction seriously, but the final result was to verify his prediction, and two years later his program was threatened again, which was also a later word.
The semi-finals are Qiao Hong vs. Xuan Jinghe, Chen Jing vs. Li Fanji, both balls are straight down three rounds to win, Qiao played his strong two-sided arc ball strength to the fullest, Xuan Jing and attacked undead, defense can not be defended, can only lose a 0:3, in the 5th level of the Chinese team fell off the horse, and Li Fanji also let Chen Jing see what is the world's first backhand raw glue, Chen Jing is also a backhand fight but Li Fanji, forehand and mistakes, let Li Fanji the fourth level of success.
The women's singles final played very wonderfully, Li Fanji's high throwing serve and rush attack, Qiao Hong's two-sided steady arc ball has played a very high level, from the scene to see the two sides hold a lot, in fact, a careful look at Li Fanji is no way, she is taking the initiative to exert force.
But Qiao Hong stood in the middle, the two-sided arc ball like a mountain, steadily sent Back and Forth Li Fanji's ball back, Li sideways, power, straight line, slash desperately wanted to open the line, but Qiao Hong's defensive skills were too strong, Li did not get any cheap, and finally the ball was wrong in his hands.
Qiao Hong has been Li Fanji for a long time, and Chen Jing's style of play is because they and Qiao Hong can't tear through Qiao Hong's defense line, and when they have the opportunity, Qiao Hong's attack is also very sharp. Thinking of Zhang Yining to the present, in fact, I have always felt that for women, sometimes defense is even more important than attack, because of women's own physiological characteristics, how to de-masculine?
Let them be as far away as the men? That's unrealistic, except to train people and injure them. The original policy of the Beijing team is that for women, the two-sided swing speed and the backhand are the root of life, you can look at Zhang Yining, Li Jiawei, the players from the Beijing team, are very strong in holding each other, and the backhand is very capable of holding the ball.
Qiao Hong won the first two innings after the third set Li handwind was very smooth 21:11 to win back, the first half of the fourth set Li also has been leading but then inexplicably appeared several mistakes to bury himself, Joe won 3:1, the first time to participate in the world championship to fight the women's singles champion back home.
ps: Qiao Hong's entry into the top 4 has surprised many people, but the Canadian Table Tennis Association at that time was not surprised. As a computer engineer, he wrote a magical program to figure out that the women's singles champion was Qiao Hong, and it was announced before the start of the competition. No one took his prediction seriously, but the end result was to verify his prediction, and two years later his program was threatened again.
In the women's doubles match, due to the retirement of Liang Yingzi, Xuan Jinghe lost his best partner, and the European combination of Batofi/Urban actually could not create any trouble for the Chinese team.
In this case, the Chinese combination all reached the top 4, and the final was Deng Yaping Qiao Hong and Chen Jing Hu Xiaoxin. The Three Musketeers of Hubei realized the Great Division, and Feng Mengya's mouth had to smile.
Before the game, from the strength and fame of the pair of Deng Qiao is the worst, but perhaps it is this kind of mentality relaxation, Deng Qiao actually killed all the way down to win the championship, when 19:20 behind after losing the last chance ball, Chen Jing's face has no pride, replaced by a kind of helplessness and loneliness.
Maybe in the midst of that fierce competition to understand the cherishing and not easy opportunity, when Chen Jing suffered a heavy blow in 3 individual competitions, none of them won the championship, she may feel the crisis of her own status.
The team, the Chinese men's team, which lost one after another in singles and doubles, lost their pants in the mixed doubles competition, the Olympic gold medal combination of Chen Jing and Chen Longcan, and the combination of Gao Jun Chen Zhibin both lost in the semi-finals, and Xuan Jinghe and Liu Nankui, who were also the gold medal duo of the Seoul Olympic Games, took the mixed doubles championship.
Compared with Chen Jing's personality, Deng Yaping's killing, and Chen Zihe's strange board, Qiao Hong, who plays honest ball, can be said to be the most characteristic of the 68, which is very dangerous.
No characteristics are likely to mean that it will be buried in the crowd, always just a senior sparring partner, such as Hebei team Fan Jianxin, the level is quite high, but the two-sided anti-glue play she has never been able to show her ability, until retiring from the Chinese national team, she did not get any opportunity to compete in international competitions, no wonder 10 years later on behalf of Japan in osaka world championships, when she won the third place in the team, she shed tears of excitement, which is a kind of relief for the loneliness and helplessness that Huai Cai did not encounter.
Qiao Hong exploded in the 40th World Championships and completely changed his fate. Qiao Hong, who played honestly, pushed himself to the main position that the coach had to use with two gold medals.
Since then, the era of Deng and Qiao in table tennis has begun.
Here is not too cheeky 8 at the time of Deng Yaping. Perhaps the sense of crisis caused by the lack of her own conditions has always accompanied Deng Yaping, so compared with Qiao Hong's big grin, she always shows her strength.
When she was still a yellow haired girl, she had already seen it, for example, after the reporter interviewed after winning the women's doubles championship, Deng grabbed the microphone and said in a loud voice: "Our pair is the worst in strength, and the main reason why I can win the championship today is that I play well, and Qiao Hong doubles can't play well." ”
This does sound a bit harsh, but also thanks to Deng's partner is Qiao Hong, if you change Chen Jing or Liu Wei, it is estimated that you will have to turn Deng's face on the spot. But now it seems that after all, Deng was only 16 years old at the time, and under the influence of the desire to be recognized, as well as his strong sense of crisis and even inferiority, it is understandable to say such a harsh thing that now sounds a bit harsh.
After the 40th World Championships, Li Huifen left the team, Qiao Hong became famous overnight and naturally became the main force, Deng Yaping also promoted to the main team because of the good performance of the 40th, Chen Jing was not red or black for a while, which made chen Jing, who was proud and proud, very unhappy.
In fact, at this time, Chen Jing's main position is still unshakable, after all, she is the women's singles champion of the Seoul Olympic Games, even if the light is covered by Qiao Hong, she is definitely the main force.
But the point is that Chen Jing is not a person who likes to "make peace", she wants to prove that she is worthy of the title of Seoul Olympic champion, no worse than Deng Qiao, but it is not as she wishes, the more she wants to prove herself, the more she loses.
In the 1989 China Open Women's Doubles and Deng Yaping cooperated to win the women's doubles championship, the women's singles also met the final, the result was a complete defeat to Deng Yaping, and then the visit to Europe was a mess, against Li Fanji not only failed to revenge, but the old injuries did not heal but added new scars, and even the rookie Yu Shunfu also tasted the taste of the upset on her.
In contrast, the other members of the 68 group have performed well, Gao Jun defeated Li Fanji, Chen Zihe defeated Yu Shunfu, and the nest fire in Chen Jing's heart can be imagined.
In the first half of 1990, the national championship, Deng Yaping won the team, singles, doubles 3 championships in one go, Chen Jing was empty-handed, and the sluggish performance for more than half a year finally led to the absence of Chen Jing's name in the team lineup of the first World Cup in 1990.
She knew the result before announcing the World Cup team roster, which made Chen Jing even more depressed. When it came time for the team to meet and announce the list, Chen Jing simply came to say goodbye, which was the second time she had not resigned.
Before the 1988 Seoul Olympics, she was in a bad state and lost a few games, so she ran back to her hometown wuhan from the Huangshi training base, and then the national team came to work at home to pick up. This time, without saying goodbye, Chen Jing never came back.
It was not until 2016 that she stepped into the door of the national team again as a doctor of sports psychology and a psychological counselor for the national team.
It is difficult to say whether Chen Jing walked out of that door is right or wrong, or that this is not a question that can be said to be right or wrong at all, and many choices in life cannot simply be answered with right and wrong. Many of the insights in life need to be experienced and understood by oneself.
We can only say that if there was no departure at that time, we would remember the Olympic champion Chen Jing, not the table tennis legend Chen Jing.
Chen Jing left the team, Gao Jun and Chen Zihe added to the main position, the 1990 World Cup was the best time to test this new team team, the Chinese team easily reached the final, the North Korean team led by Lee Fan-hee in the second half and the South Korean team led by Hyun Jing and the South Korean team led by Xuan Jing and the coached South Korean team advanced to the final.
The Chinese team sent the second main force Chen Zihe to play the first gun, the North Korean team unexpectedly reversed the platoon, Lee Fan-ji played the second, and Yu Shunfu played the number one.
Chen Zihe's strange board restrained Yu Shunfu's firepower, due to the extreme discomfort with the rotation changes caused by Chen's long rubber arches, bumps, etc., Yu Shunfu has been in a passive short play situation, although he also played some good balls, Chen Zihe still made a 2:1 first shot for China.
Deng Yaping encountered Li Fanji, 40 times after losing to the opponent ushered in a revenge battle, as mentioned earlier, Deng Quantai forehand shot, li Fanji did not have a temper, the first set 20:11 far ahead, but then after losing a few balls, the hand style was suddenly not smooth, Li Shunshi pulled several balls in a row to chase the score to 20 draws.
At this time, the average person is already ignorant, even if they are not ignorant, they have to consider the problem of success rate, but Deng is still fierce, and finally won 24:22, and the second set was even more like a 21:9 shot.
The Chinese team, which won two games, won the doubles and won the World Cup team championship with a 3-0 victory over North Korea, and the new team's first review was a success.
At this time, Chen Jing had already gone far away to Japan.
