WTT Zagreb Challenge Women's Singles Qualifier National Table Tennis Junior Qin Yuxuan was eliminated by South Korea's young Lee Hee-eun. Many national table tennis fans believe that this is caused by the young players being too young, so why can these young players eliminate European players and Taipei players, and when facing the strong teams of Japan and South Korea, there is inexperience?
Is it really because of the experience of the game? It's just an excuse for fans who don't understand the ball. In their view, the cultivation of young youngsters in Japan and South Korea will be promoted by pulling up seedlings, so is it not the national table tennis training of young teenagers to promote seedlings? This is completely double-standard rhetoric and does not stand up to any scrutiny.
Qin Yuxuan, as a young player who is the focus of national table tennis training, is known as Ding Ning's successor. Both the national table tennis coaching staff and the fans are full of hope for this young player. However, fans who recently participated in a series of challenges found that Qin Yuxuan's best result was to win the singles runner-up.
This challenge was the first to encounter a Korean player, and Qin Yuxuan was slightly less lucky. After all, the other teammates are all European players, or Hong Kong and Taipei players, and the overall strength is still different from that of Japanese and Korean players. But compared to South Korea's young player Kim Na-young, Qin Yuxuan's luck is not very bad.
Also at the age of 16, Kim Na-young of the South Korean team eliminated the Japanese table tennis star Hitomi Sato, who qualified to participate in the Japanese Table Tennis Asian Games and can be regarded as the main player of Japanese table tennis. Moreover, Kinna Ying is 9 years younger than Hitomi Sato, and both her game experience and age are at an absolute disadvantage.
If Qin Yuxuan is eliminated in the face of Hitomi Sato, the fans will still use his young age as a reason to lose. But Kim Na-young defeated this player who was so much older than herself, making the fans' theory of losing at a young age meaningless. Competitive sports are not about age, but about strength in the true sense.
In particular, Jin Naying's performance in this challenge tournament made many fans who knew the ball feel very nervous, and they were reminding the national table tennis player to pay attention to this young national table tennis player. Jin Naying said in a previous interview that her idol is Wang Manyu. The main reason is that these two people are relatively tall, and Jin Naying is imitating Wang Manyu's masculine playing style.
In the match with Hitomi Sato, although Jin Naying was young, she suppressed her opponent and did not shy away from the stage. A very important reason is That Jin Naying's offensive style of play is extremely aggressive. Although they are young but do not suffer losses in strength, tall players have a certain advantage in strength.
Qin Yuxuan is relatively short, and last year's game against Liu Shiwen was directly swept away, and he did not win a game. The same is the close platform fast attack style of play, Liu Shiwen single cricket quality is higher. Before Zhang Benmeihe defeated Qin Yuxuan 3:0, it was always the upper hand in attack, and Qin Yuxuan had been pressed by the opponent to attack and it was too difficult to win.
Zhang Benmeihe was two or three years younger than Qin Yuxuan, and it was impossible to have an absolute upper hand in strength. The main reason is that Zhang Benmeihe's offensive awareness and tactical changes have the upper hand, Qin Yuxuan is not the kind of player who has a single cricket kill, so he passively wants to reverse the lack of technical support in the face of the score at a critical moment.
Qin Yuxuan, these fifteen or sixteen-year-old young players, compared with your former Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu, the biggest difference is that they are mainly fast in their playing style, and there is no Sun Wang's hot forehand and backhand technology. Sun Yingsha's forehand attack is a killer, and Wang Manyu's backhand twist is unsurpassed in women's table tennis.
Qin Yuxuan these players are better than the forehand, but their backhand is still mainly holding each other, and they do not have an advantage in the serve process. Don't they see the technical advantages of Wang Manyu's serve? The average fan knows it, and these professional players know better. But this is not something that any one player can practice, and if it is not practiced well, it is easy to have a large area of injuries.
Players want to extend their careers, so most of the players play in a balanced and stable way. A large part of the reason why fans feel that the strength of the post-zero players after Sun Yingsha is not as strong as that of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu is that the playing style of these players has no characteristics. Many fans think that the basic skills of national table tennis players are good, but practicing basic skills alone does not have any competitive advantage.
Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu rose in the international table tennis world in their teens because their playing style was more aggressive. Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu's current playing style is still more advanced than Qin Yuxuan's reserve technology, at least ten years ahead. And the young players in Japan and South Korea are learning from Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha's style of play, paying attention to the aggressiveness of the attack, rather than the kind of play that is flat and stable.
The national table tennis players in this challenge will face more and more Japanese and Korean players in the next step, don't look at most of the european players in the qualifiers. In the real main competition, these young players want to find European players to play against, and the main opponents of national table tennis are still mainly Japanese and Korean players.
Therefore, a few days ago, I saw these national table tennis players beat European and Indian players to win the championship, so that many fans felt that there was someone after the national table tennis. But this zagreb challenge is the best platform to test these national table tennis players. Also at the age of 16, if Kim Na-young enters the main tournament next, does it mean that the Young Player of Korean Table Tennis is better than the young player of the National Table Tennis?
Therefore, fans still have high standards and strict requirements for young players of national table tennis, and do not be complacent about achieving a little result, and the real challenge is far from coming. Who can replicate Sun Yingsha's 17-year-old international singles title, this challenge will give the final answer. I don't know what the majority of fans and friends think? Welcome to leave a message to discuss. Pay attention to the Erlang Shenkan ball, bring you the purest table tennis thinking.
