Looking at the history of China's sports, we will find that China's sports achievements in modern times can only be said to be good, but not much excellent. Because the world recognizes the three major balls: football, basketball and volleyball, we only have basketball that belongs to the second level of the world, the women's volleyball team was once the world's first, but the men's football team and the men's volleyball team are very embarrassing. The Chinese men's football team is like a dou that cannot be supported, which makes the majority of fans very sad. In the past two years, we have brought in a lot of Brazilian foreign aid, hoping to achieve something.
01 The confusion of Chinese table tennis: No one can play Chinese football, and no one can beat Chinese table tennis
But China always has a project that can make people find confidence, that is, table tennis. The history of Table Tennis in China is awe-inspiring. From Rong Guotuan to Deng Yaping, from Deng Yaping to Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui, to the "Great Devil" Zhang Yining, Zhang Jike, Ma Dong and Fan Zhendong, Chinese table tennis has continued its glory for nearly 50 years.
But too much brilliance creates new problems. There is a famous saying in Chinese sports: "No one can beat the Chinese men's football team, and no one can beat Chinese table tennis." ”
According to statistics, since the sport was included in the Olympic Games in 1988, China has pocketed 28 of the 32 gold medals, the Chinese team has lifted the Weislin Cup 20 times, table tennis has become a Chinese self-amusement project, and the international table tennis world championships have often become the chinese team's ruthless crushing performance.
China's table tennis is too strong, except for Japan, South Korea and China, Europe and the United States have no ability to fight back. Zhang Yining once beat the porcelain doll Fukuhara to cry, and finally gave way to the ball. In order to balance the Chinese team, the ITTF has specially changed the rules 9 times. The United States and other countries have even proposed to kick table tennis out of the Olympics. You're so good at basketball, can we kick basketball out of international competitions?
02 China Table Tennis's Wolf Raising Program, Zhang Benzhi and Chu Cultivation
Only China is the only one in the table tennis world, so that Cai Zhenhua, the newly appointed president of the Chinese Table Tennis Association in 2009, had to propose the "wolf raising plan". Countless outstanding national table tennis players have gone overseas.
Born on June 27, 2003, Zhang Benzhihe picked up a ping-pong racket and began practicing at the age of 2, with a age of 15 years.
The protagonist of this article, Zhang Benzhihe, whose parents are former Chinese players. Zhang Benzhihe's mother, Zhang Ling, fought alongside Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong, participated in the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships in Tianjin, and won the national championships many times. His father was also a table tennis player.
His parents moved to Japan in 1998. In March 2014, he and his father Zhang Yu and his sister Zhang Meihe and three others became Japanese nationals, and changed their original surname "Zhang" to the Japanese surname "Zhang Ben".
In this way, Zhang Benzhihe changed from a Sichuanese to a Japanese.
03 Zhang Ben Zhihe: I am a descendant of Japanese Reiwa, and I want to beat the Chinese players
In 2016, Zhang Benzhihe won the u21 men's singles championship at the Japan Open, becoming the youngest u21 category champion in the history of the ITTF. In the same year, he won the men's singles championship at the World Junior Table Tennis Championships and became the youngest champion in the history of the World Youth Championships. Zhang Benzhihe was 13 years old at the time. He is indeed a good ping-pong player.
In the men's singles final of the 2018 Japan Open Table Tennis Championships, he defeated China's Zhang Jike 4-3 to win the championship.
In the 2018 Table Tennis Federation Finals Men's Singles Championship Battle, Zhang Benzhi defeated Lin Gaoyuan and won the championship. Zhang Benzhihe's highest ranking ranked fifth in the world.
Zhang Benzhihe was interviewed by a media reporter, he said: "In the semi-finals, I defeated the Chinese team's 2016 Rio Olympic gold medalist Ma Long, and the final and the world number one Fan Zhendong played, the strength is still a little gap, the final did not seize the opportunity, only took the silver medal, very unwilling." But after beating Malone, he was very confident and was very happy to win a medal in the World Series for the first time. ”
After the 2019 Qatar Table Tennis Open, the young and crazy Zhang Benzhihe once said: "Reiwa and Zhihe are together, the Japanese era number and themselves have a common word is a japanese word, I am the descendant of the Reiwa era (Japan), hoping to use this east wind to win the gold medal again in the upcoming Budapest World Table Tennis Championships!" ”
This has caused many Japanese people to praise him. Growing up in Japan and receiving a Japanese education, Mr. Zhang was right to stand in the position of the Japanese. But it is difficult for foreigners to accept. After all, he was of Chinese descent. This can only show that his parents really have no feelings for China, otherwise how could they teach their children to forget their own bloodlines?
Zhang Benzhihe's parents: Zhang Benyu and Zhang Ling
Liu Guoliang once commented: "I have been thinking about a problem for the past two days! Players who are nationalized in other countries are actually trying to get a badge to show their dreams! --Yourself, and your ancestors! You are a Chinese with Chinese blood. Don't say you're not Chinese. Don't think that you are pleasing others like this, thinking that others will value you: in fact, others are using you to help them achieve good results! I remember that more than a decade ago, Samsonov played in Germany, and others let the German nationality fight alongside Ball and hit the world first hand in hand. Old Sang said no! He said that he had been a Belarusian in his lifetime. cattle! ”
This is the same as He Zhili, who was a Japanese citizen, you have no problem beating Deng Yaping to win the championship, but you must take into account national feelings.
04 Zhang Benzhihe's father: He had hoped that he would return to China
The so-called "wood show in the forest wind will destroy it." Zhang Benzhihe also fell into a bottleneck after the scenery of Daxiu. Since 2019, Zhang Benzhihe's record has been much worse.
In the diamond race, Zhang Benzhihe appeared in poor form one after another, which eventually led to a loss, and seeing this scene, his father also wanted to improve his son's strength and prepare for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. His idea was to bring his son to Sichuan, China for special training, after all, this is their ancestral home, and in the end he wanted his son to play in the national championships.
However, the relevant personnel of the national table tennis directly refused to do so. Generosity is not the problem, the problem is that you have repeatedly provoked, it is the problem.
In an interview, Liu Guoliang commented on Japanese teenagers Tomokazu Zhang Ben and Mimachi Ito.
"The threat of the opponent is still there, the opponent is growing. His (Zhang Benzhihe) language after the game shows that he is growing up. Zhang Ben and Ito, the biggest pressure on us is not only from their balls, but also from his inner desire to win. ”
But to be fair, Zhang Benzhihe has lived in Japan since birth, he has never been influenced by Chinese culture, and his motherland is Japan, not China. Everyone must understand this clearly. In addition to his pedigree, he was a standard Japanese from the inside out. If we simply treat him as an opponent in China's table tennis arena, we would be right. There is no need to mix national feelings, nor do you need to mix feelings, because Zhang Benzhihe is Japanese and has nothing to do with us.
