If you take stock of the national table tennis female generals, the Great Demon King Zhang Yining is definitely a powerful role, because her existence is so many powerful players that are set off. But in fact, it is not so, for Zhang Yining everyone is too mythical, such as the Internet rumors that her family does not have a silver medal, if you want to find it, you have to go to Wang Hao's uncle's house to find, which is a bit outrageous, after all, Zhang Yining is not a god, she is not invincible. She not only has her nemesis "Jiang Huajun", she also lost to Feng Tianwei in the 2008 Asian Cup, and she has lost to her sister Wang Nan in the World Series many times. In addition, she also lost to a famous player, that is, the third main force at that time, Niu Jianfeng.
Speaking of Niu Jianfeng, many people say that she is a player whose strength is greater than her fame. In the 2003 ITTF Finals, it was she who "doubled" Zhang Yining in the women's singles and women's doubles competitions, and such an excellent record and her final in the World Cup that year also won the trust of the table tennis coaching staff. She also won the women's singles title in the Asian Qualifiers, which allowed her to win a valuable singles spot against Olympic champion Li Ju in the fierce Competition for the Olympic Roster, and she also partnered Guo Yue in the Olympic Doubles. Niu Jianfeng was second in the world when she was ranked at the highest level, so how did she leave the national team later? Was she really expelled from the national team, as the outside world is rumored to be?
Many fans say Niu left the national team because of the continued slump after losing the 2004 Athens Olympics. In particular, niu Jianfeng led the team to participate in the 2005 Asian Championships as the top seed, and as a result, she lost two points in the team final, losing to South Korean athletes Moon Hyun-jing and Kim Jing-eun, burying the opportunity to enter the women's team final. Then in the singles match, she lost to Liu Shufei to stop the semi-finals, which dashed China's hopes of winning the championship in a single event, and the Chinese table tennis team suffered a heavy blow at the Asian Championships that had never been suffered in more than 30 years. After that, Niu Jianfeng returned to the Hebei Provincial Team, so there were many rumors that she was returned to the Provincial Team, but in fact, the real situation was not the case.
Because at that time, the leader of the Table Tennis Association, Cai Zhenhua, and the head coach Lu Yuansheng both denied this statement. Cai Zhenhua said: "It is impossible to use the term 'adjust back to the provincial team', because the national players who do not participate in the two table tennis tour of the Panasonic China Open and the Volkswagen China Open will return to the provincial team and prepare for the National Games with all their might, which is definitely not punitive." ”
And Cai Zhenhua also replied to why Niu Jianfeng gave up the following open tournament. Cai Zhenhua admitted that the loss of the Asian Championship did have a certain impact on Niu Jianfeng, and she needed to adjust, "Niu Jianfeng needs to adjust not only technically, psychologically, but also self-confidence, but it is definitely not because of the loss of the Asian Championship to punish her."
Therefore, those who say that she was expelled from the national team are absolutely nonsense, because at the beginning of winter training in 2006, Niu Jianfeng returned to the national team. Only because of the injury, she has not yet recovered, and only finished tenth in the team's round robin tournament in January. Later, at the 48th World Table Tennis Championships Trials, she was one of the four seeded players and failed to qualify from the group. However, in the Table Tennis Super League in May, Niu Jianfeng defeated Zhang Yining 3-1.
However, Niu Jianfeng, who appeared on the international stage, has not been able to return to the peak, such as the 2007 Qatar Open women's singles semi-final loss to Li Xiaoxia, in the French Open, Niu Jianfeng lost 1-4 to Romanian player Dudian.
On July 6, 2008, Niu Jianfeng married her boyfriend Liu Zhiqiang, who had been in love for many years, and then chose to study to enrich himself. From September 2000 to June 2004, she graduated from Hebei Normal University with a bachelor's degree. She went on to graduate school, and from September 2006 to June 2010, she graduated with a master's degree from Beijing Sport University.
After graduating from graduate school, due to the lack of professionals in this area in the table tennis teaching and research department of Beijing Sport University, she was fortunate to stay on campus to teach and become a teacher, because she worked hard in her job and has now become an associate professor.
In fact, during her studies, she also represented Hebei, such as Niu Jianfeng and Bai Yang at the National Table Tennis Championships in November 2008, but lost to Guo Yan and Ding Ning of the Beijing team and missed the championship.
In the fifth round of the Table Tennis Super League in June 2009, she also beat Li Xiaoxia 3-2 to end her opponent's eight-game winning streak. It can be seen that Niu Jianfeng is a serious person who can apply what he has learned.
In 2015, his daughter Nono was born, and his lover Liu Zhiqiang is now the head coach of the national first team member world champion Liang Jingkun, and Niu Jianfeng himself also founded the "Niu Jianfeng Table Tennis Club" in Shijiazhuang, so Niu Jianfeng is also a successful person with his own career.
Niu Jianfeng not only has her own club, she also has a training base named after herself. In September 2019, the first Niu Jianfeng table tennis training base in Hebei Province was held in Shijiazhuang Pearl River Experimental School, and the Niu Jianfeng table tennis training base will also become the starting point of the dream of Hebei table tennis teenagers. Niu Jianfeng said that she will cooperate with all sectors of society and do her best to make this place a cradle of future champions.
While teaching and educating people, she has her own career, and a lover who has supported each other all the way There is a well-behaved daughter, who also participated in the Olympic Games during the player period and got a bronze medal, her life is actually very good, not so sad, you say?
