After the national table tennis team members finished their training in Lingshui, Hainan, they returned to their respective cities to rest. They have half a month's leave and can take the opportunity to reunite with their families.
Sun Yingsha, who is now the second largest in the women's table tennis world, did not return to her hometown in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. Although her parents miss their precious daughter, Sasha also misses her parents. But the 21-year-old Sasha still made up her mind and did not go home. Quite the courage to give up all distractions and concentrate on the ball.
Sun Yingsha, sun Mingyang, Ku Man and other players came to Chengdu with the head coach Qiu Yike. The purpose of coming to Chengdu this time is very simple, that is, to improve their level in all aspects.
In 2018 and 2019, Sun Yingsha experienced a period of rapid growth and won many championships in international competitions. Especially in 2019, Sun Yingsha won a total of 11 championships throughout the year, including 5 singles championships, defeating almost all the top female table tennis players at home and abroad. Her world rankings have also risen steadily, ranking in the top three in the world.
In the next two or three years, Sun Yingsha also achieved good results, and also won many championships, including the team gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games, the women's doubles and mixed doubles gold medals at the World Table Tennis Championships. But she also fell into a strange circle. In the world's three major competitions, Sun Yingsha entered the singles final, but she failed to win the championship, either losing to Chen Meng or losing to Wang Manyu. Sun Yingsha has lost to Chen Meng and Wang Manyu many times in a row. Chen Meng and Wang Manyu were like two big mountains, straddling Sun Yingsha's face, unable to break through.
If Sun Yingsha wants to achieve better results, she must find a way to defeat Chen Meng and Wang Manyu. Otherwise, she will only have the life of a singles runner-up and become another "millennium old second" in national table tennis.
Sun Yingsha definitely does not want to be the "second oldest of the millennium". If you want to defeat Chen Meng or Wang Manyu, you can only improve yourself.
Sun Yingsha's question is not big, and it is not small. To say that her technical level, it must be at the top of the world. However, in the face of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, it was still a little bit interesting. In addition to being slightly inferior in technology, it is also inferior to its opponents in terms of strength.
Chen Meng is skilled, physically strong and powerful, and he is very tough in playing. Wang Manyu is a representative of the women's players' men's playing style, playing strong and powerful. Milksha suffers a lot in the face of this kind of power type player.
Coupled with the fact that Sun Yingsha lacks a fierce force when playing against her teammates. She always felt a little embarrassed to give a hard hand, and when she was behind, she didn't yell to boost her morale. She may feel that playing against her teammates does not need to be so obvious, and is worried about hurting the feelings between her teammates. But she always lost to Chen Meng and Wang Manyu was not the way to go. Both are at the peak of their careers, and there is a relatively long peak period. If Sun Yingsha can't break through these two players, her playing career will be difficult to achieve good results.
Then there is Sun Yingsha's consecutive losses to Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, both of whom have lost a little psychological shadow. She now urgently needs to adjust her mindset.
Another point is that Sun Yingsha is not good at thinking when playing. Sometimes playing ball requires some thoughts outside of technology, a small action, a look, which may affect the opponent's mentality and then change the situation. Especially two players with close technical skills, often one ball can change the outcome. This kind of approach seems a bit of a twist, but it is very common in competitions and is also very practical. Sasha is lacking in this regard, she is too honest.
Qiu Yike's time as Sun Yingsha's head coach was not long. He must have known about Sun Yingsha's problem. Therefore, during the national table tennis holiday, he did not rest and specially trained Sun Yingsha. It is hoped that by flying first, the stupid bird will be able to achieve overtaking in the corner.
After Sun Yingsha arrived in Chengdu, she practiced hard. This is sun Yingsha's weaker link than Chen Meng and Wang Manyu. Speaking of a miracle, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu suppressed Sun Yingsha with vigorous slaughter. Coupled with the fact that Sun Yingsha is not tall and has a poor ability to protect the platform, if the opponent increases his strength and frequently changes the line, it will make Sun Yingsha very difficult. Sun Yingsha can only have a more technical advantage in the face of this kind of power player, faster, and make the opponent tired of coping.
Therefore, Sun Yingsha practiced physical fitness after arriving in Chengdu. This is the right approach, and it is also a targeted training method for Qiu Yike. As a good sister of Sun Yingsha, Sun Mingyang personally assisted Sun Yingsha in practicing physical fitness.
In addition to practicing physical fitness, it is also necessary to strengthen technical improvement. Qiu Yi can personally feed the balls to Sun Yingsha. It seems that Qiu Zhi put the treasure on Sun Yingsha's body. Although he brought several players, the one who can achieve the most now is Sun Yingsha. If he can lead Sun Yingsha to achieve a breakthrough, it will not only be Sun Yingsha's success, but also Qiu Yike's success. Qiu Yike can also realize the value of life.
Therefore, even if Qiu Yi did not rest, he had to lead the disciples to practice, especially to train Sun Yingsha more, and improve Sun Yingsha's skills and physical strength.
Qiu Yike also has to find a way to change Sun Yingsha's mentality, don't carry baggage when playing, don't be too conservative, you should use all your strength to win, and when you should use your brain, you should use a little brain.
There are still many places for Sasha to improve, and I hope that Coach Qiu Yike will train Sun Yingsha in the right way to make her skills more perfect, her physical strength stronger, and she can use her brain to play ball. I believe that there will be a very strong Sun Yingsha coming out.
