Japan's Hangzhou Asian Games table tennis selection tournament has ended, it is very surprising that Ito Mimakoto, who had previously promised to come to China to win the Asian Games women's singles gold medal, lost to the young player Miyu Kihara and had no chance to represent the Japanese team in singles.
Behind Ito's upset is the growth of Miyu Kihara and the outbreak of Miyu Hirano, and their consecutive victories against the "first sister" of Japanese table tennis are not accidental, which has the help of "mysterious forces" from China.
J Kihara and Hirano eventually only 1 person qualified for the women's singles, but they all came up with the best level in the Asian Games "preliminary examination", and the coach who helped them succeed, Nakazawa Rui, a former Chinese table tennis player formerly known as Wang Rui. The current personal social platform fans are less than 4,000 Japanese table tennis "meritorious", and he is also very happy about the 2 apprentices defeating Ito.

Wang Rui is said to be "mysterious" because compared with many foreign coaches who have experience in the national team, he has only been selected for the Hebei provincial team and has not been able to rank among the highest halls of national football. Moreover, in 2008, Wang Rui had successfully transferred his naturality, and Zhang Benzhihe's father, Zhang Benyu, who was well known to everyone, was also a naturalized Japanese in 2014.
Therefore, even if many fans often see Wang Rui with a small moustache on the sidelines, they may mistakenly think that he is a Japanese, and they do not know that the peak of Hirano Miyu since his debut - the consecutive victories of Ding Ning, Zhu Yuling and Chen Meng in the Asian Championship until he won the championship is his masterpiece.
When Hirano moved to other coaches, Wang Rui continued to develop young players, and Miyu Kihara and Miyu Nagasaki, who did not play due to injury this time, were his proud protégés. Some time ago, in the Doha Challenge, Miyu Kihara won the women's singles championship, and Wang Rui was the coach off the field.
This time, Hirano Miyu returned to Wang Rui's command again, and in just about 1 month, she swept away the previous downturn and seemed to have regained the highlight moment of the 2017 Asian Championships.
I have to sigh that table tennis in China, not only the national team, but even the local team and even the amateur masters are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, which will make people shine coldly. And take Wang Rui, the player period is not known, after arriving in Japan, through his own efforts over the years, he has achieved results in the position of coach, and the wisdom of the Chinese people in table tennis is really unparalleled in the world!
From this point of view, with the blessing of Wang Rui's coach, Hirano Miyu and others can be said to have added wings to the Paris cycle! No wonder some fans in Japan think that Ito should change the coach, especially to consider Chinese! Otherwise, the challenge of the younger generation is very sharp, and Ito, who is the Olympic champion, has no certainty of victory, which is not even the younger but newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger.
Judging from this competition, the level between the Japanese women's team members has indeed been very close, so in the next 2 years, if Ito really can't go to Paris by then, it is really not worth the fuss!
