The 2020 All Japan Table Tennis Tournament continues today. In a focus battle that ended the fifth round of men's singles in the morning, Zhang Benzhi swept Panasonic Haihui 4-0 to easily advance to the next round.
Although Tomokazu Jang and Mizu Nagasaki failed to shake the mixed doubles final, Masataka Morien/ Mimachi Ito, and eventually finished second, in terms of singles, The little motorcycle has played very dominant in these two days. Yesterday afternoon, he beat Tanaka 4-0 to score only 19 points in four sets.
Facing Panasonic Haihui today, Zhang Benzhihe still performed strongly. He won 11-5 in the first set, then played 11-4, 11-7 and 11-6 in the next three sets, ending the battle again with a complete victory. In these two games, it is difficult for opponents to pose a real threat to Zhang Benzhihe.
There were not too many waves in the competition process, but it was a major change that Zhang Benzhihe showed in the process of this all-Japan competition, which attracted more attention and discussion. This new change is that Zhang Benzhihe decided to try to adjust the rhythm of his signature roar, no longer shouting from beginning to end every time he scored, as in the past, but sometimes shouting, sometimes not shouting, sometimes shouting, sometimes shouting...
Zhang Ben believes that he is ready to leave 100% of the shouting to the final, if this change can create a different psychological impact on the opponent, it is also a very important part of the competition; but if it is changed in a top international competition like the Olympic Games, he feels that it may be a little too sudden, and his heart is not very numerous, so he just took this all-Japan competition for rehearsal exercises.
It seems that Zhang Benzhihe, who has repeatedly spoken to defeat the Chinese men's table tennis, the men's team and the men's singles gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games, has not been less thoughtful about the content of the competition outside of pure technology in addition to practicing technology!
Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, once publicly expressed his appreciation for Zhang Benzhihe, believing that the teenager was very passionate in the competition and was very helpful for the development of table tennis. As for how the Chinese men's table tennis will compete with the other side at the opponent's home court at a critical moment in terms of technology, tactics, impromptu play, passion PK, etc., I believe that the coping tricks that should be there have been continuously in reserve. We are also waiting to see the journey of national table tennis in Tokyo.
In addition, in the fifth round of the women's singles match that ended the all-Japan competition in the morning, Ito beat Hiroki Mijō 4-1, with a five-set score of 11-4, 9-11, 11-7, 11-7 and 11-6. Miyu Hirano was in a slump, losing 1-4 to high school student Yuki, missing the round of 16. Ishikawa Yoshijun won not easily, beating Nomura 4-2 and struggling to qualify. The performances of the three major players in the Japanese women's table tennis Olympic team are very different.
