Among the national table tennis players, a figure that is gradually drifting away from the main force is Chen Xingtong. In fact, compared with Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen and other veterans, Chen Xing debuted later than chen Meng and Zhu Yuling of the Mesozoic generation, and she was the candidate who was praised by fans as the "first generation of little devils". However, this former "little devil" has begun to fall behind...
It can be called Chen Meng's nemesis, back-to-back killing Ito, Chen Xingtong's rise predates the "seafood sister flower".
Chen Xingtong was born in 1997 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, to an ordinary family of teachers. At the age of 4, Chen Xingtong began to practice table tennis with a swing. He entered Shenyang Sports School at the age of 5 and entered the Liaoning Provincial Team at the age of 10. At the age of 16, he entered the national second team, and the representative work of this period is that Chen Xingtong defeated Ito Mimachi and Hirano Miyu in the Asian Junior Championship to win the women's singles championship. Chen Xingtong has excellent physical conditions for playing table tennis, 1 meter 65 height in the women's players, belongs to the protective platform area is relatively large, positive and negative holding ability is outstanding, waist and abdomen strength is very good, comprehensive technology and no obvious loopholes. Chen Xingtong began to take the lead in the national team, and the main achievement stemmed from her repeatedly finding the feeling of winning in the world number one Chen Meng.
In the 2018 World Cup team competition, Chen Meng and Chen Xingtong ranked third in the round robin tournament, but it was Chen Xingtong who defeated Chen Meng, based on the relationship between victory and defeat, Chen Xingtong and Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Zhu Yuling, Wang Manyu were selected into the team lineup of the World Cup, and Chen Xingtong blocked Chen Meng from the competition for the first time. In the same year, in the Table Tennis Super League, Chen Xingtong defeated Chen Meng again, making Chen Meng's team miss the table tennis championship. In the 2020 WTT Macau match, Chen Meng was reversed by Chen Xingtong in the case of a 3:1 lead, and once again fell under the shooting of the new generation. In the Tokyo Olympics simulation tournament, the national table tennis teamed in Weihai New District, and Chen Xingtong defeated the world's no. 1 Chen Meng twice in two consecutive days. In the final of the women's team of the National Games, Chen Xingtong once again beat Chen Meng and helped the Liaoning women's team win the championship.
In order to avoid Chen Meng's "habitual" loss of chen Xingtong, Liu Guoliang took Wang Yidi with him, instead of letting Chen Xingtong go to Japan to accompany him to sparring, to reduce Chen Meng's psychological pressure. In addition to being able to become Chen Meng's "nemesis", another beautiful masterpiece of Chen Xingtong in the national team is that she achieved double killing of Ito "back-to-back". In the 2019 Bulgarian Open and the Czech Open, two consecutive tournaments were held by Chen Xingtong, who eliminated Ito Mimachi. In the same year, Ito also defeated Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu in the Swedish Open with a very exaggerated serve to reach the women's singles final. It should be said that after Chen Xingtong entered the first team, she showed her sharpness and reflected her offensive and defensive strength, earlier than the time point of Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha's rise. So, why did Chen Xingtong, who was able to defeat Chen Meng repeatedly, become the only "little devil" who fell behind?
The playing style is stable, lacks killer skills and ambition, and is overtaken by Wang Yidi, making it difficult to catch up with Sasha Wang Manyu.
Deng Yaping repeatedly mentioned in the CCTV commentary that if the player wants to kill, he must be comprehensive in technology, outstanding in strength, and no obvious loopholes. In this sentence, what Chen Xingtong lacks is "outstanding strengths". Chen Xingtong's steady ball style and multi-board staleness skills allow her to play veteran Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen, which can reflect the batting strength and quality of her new generation. Against a master of stalemates like Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong can also rely on steady grinding to win in the end; however, what she lacks is killing and ambition. Sun Yingsha can catch up in the new generation, that is, the courage of "Violent Sha" to dare to take the lead and the lethality of the first three boards are too prominent.
As the youngest player in the new generation, Sasha's ability to hold on to each other is still worse than that of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu. But in 2019, she was able to defeat Chen Meng, who was "double killed" in the championships, and also had the upper hand against "Eel", because Sun Yingsha had an undaunted killing spirit. Even if the score is behind, the "Violent Sha" who dares to kill the board first can still complete a single-game reversal. However, we do not see this kind of decisive courage in Chen Xingtong. Chen Xingtong is not without a killing board, her backhand snowboard violently, a board can penetrate Chen Meng, the lethality of the forehand is also the level of first-class players. But when the game starts, Chen Xingtong will fall into a kind of left to left, right to right, a very bland batting pattern. It wasn't until she was in a desperate situation, losing without erupting, that she began to fight back.
This defensive counterattack style of play is somewhat similar to Ding Ning and Zhu Yuling, except that Chen Xing is more aggressive than Ding and Zhu. 40+ big ball is an era of stalemate as the king, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha's level of hitting the ball, have risen to the level of masculinity, Chen Xingtong has his own killing skills, but in the game is always a late strike, which is the reason why she has been lagging behind. Whether Wang Yidi is in the Liaoning women's team or in the national team, the position of "DaliDi" is ranked after Chen Xingtong. After switching to Qiu Yike, Wang Yidi was full of tenacity, and won the second place in the World Cup finals last year, the third place in the World Table Tennis Championships, and the world ranking also came to 4th. It can be said that Wang Yidi, who has a clearer goal and a more ferocious hand, has achieved a counter-overtake to Chen Xingtong. Li Falcon talked about Chen Xing at the same time, the technology is solid, there are few big ups and downs, what she lacks most is the ability to control the game, and the most critical thing is that she lacks a clear goal.
Due to the low world rankings, Chen Xingtong is very easy to meet "Meng Shaman" prematurely before the semi-finals. Chen Xingtong of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships was swept 0:4 by Wang Manyu, and Chen Xingtong lost to Sun Yingsha 0:3 in the World Cup Finals. In the case of a 2-1 lead, Chen Xingtong of the Grand Slam Singapore station was reversed by Wang Yidi in the first round. A technical strength that is enough to defeat Chen Meng, is the lack of a courage to dare to take the lead, and the determination to stand at the head of the tide, so that Chen Xingtong is gradually drifting away from the main force in the increasingly flat defensive counterattack. What's more, after Huang Haicheng left the team, Sun Yingsha, who was freely raised for 3 months, already had Qiu Yike to take over, while Chen Xingtong was still in a state of no one taking over and being freely raised...
Chen Xing is 2 years older than Wang Manyu and 3 years older than Sun Yingsha, and there are really not many opportunities for Chen Xingtong in the national team at the age of 25. The singles quota for the Paris Olympics is likely to be won by Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha. Chen Xingtong, Chen Meng, and Wang Yidi are basically the third person of the competition group. The second team's new arrival of Kuman is also very rapid progress, oman challenge is Kuman defeated Chen Xingtong women's singles to win the championship. The 28-year-old Chen Meng defeated Wang Manyu in Singapore, winning a breathing opportunity, hoping that Chen Xingtong can cheer up, and the training of more than 20 years from childhood to adulthood cannot be consumed so plainly.
You don't have that ambition yourself, you don't have the determination not to give up until you reach your goal, even if you follow a Grand Slam coach like Li Falcon, Chen Xingtong will still stand still on the ground, or even not advance and retreat. Do you think Chen Xingtong is sorry? Welcome to leave a message, discuss, thank you for your attention! I am a teenager at the Temple of Horse riding.
