Table tennis WTT Slovenia is in full swing, and the current situation of national table tennis is not good - in the June 24 matchup, our young players Liang Guodong and Zhong Geman did not play well, losing 1-4 and 3-4 to South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun and Lee Shi-win respectively. So far, the Chinese team has lost 5 consecutive games to the South Koreans, which is really tragic.
It is worth mentioning that this An Zaixian once made a splash at the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, beat Zhang Benzhihe to tears, and later won the third place in the men's singles, but in recent years, the state has been poor, and now it is once again threatening to break through the national table tennis defense line, indeed there is still a certain strength, the Chinese team must not be prevented!
The Slovenian match China team sent the original team of the Croatian tournament to participate, because they just experienced the tragedy of the total defeat of the whole army a few days ago, so the fans also sweated for everyone's state, and soon the South Korean table tennis team launched a fierce attack on us, breaking through the national table tennis defense line for 5 consecutive times.
In the first few rounds of duels, the women's doubles group ZhongGeman / Qin Yuxuan lost 0-3 to Li Shiwen / Yin Xiaobin, the women's singles Chen Yi lost 1-4 to the Chinese player Jin Heying, and the men's singles Wang Chence was eliminated by Zhao Chengmin 4-2. Not long after, South Korean athletes broke through two lines of defense for the Chinese team.
The left-handed youngster, liang Guodong, who is regarded as Xu Xin's "successor", was originally eliminated in the qualifying stage to the Polish athlete Badowos, but he was very lucky to get the qualification for the make-up competition, and as a result, he "came back to life" and rejoined the battle, resulting in bad luck and met the hope star of the South Korean team, Ahn Jae-hyun.
As mentioned earlier, Ahn Jae-hyun once had a very bright result, is the only South Korean table tennis team since 2017 to win the World Table Tennis Championships men's singles medal, when Zhang Benjihe was beaten dizzy is even more memorable, and in March this year he also violently attacked Fan Zhendong at the WTT Grand Slam, almost bursting out a super cold.
As an athlete who can threaten the main force of China and Japan at the same time, An Zaixian is more than enough to deal with Liang Guodong, who is not ranked in the national table tennis: in the first set, he won 11-5, and although he lost 10-12 in the second set, he then went down to three cities in a row at 11-8, 11-6, 11-6, and eliminated Liang Guodong without encountering too many difficulties, and the strength gap was obvious.
As for the battle between Zhonggeman and Lee Shiwen, it was a pity that she lost two consecutive 9-11 at the beginning, but then reversed it at 11-8, 11-8, 11-2, but then lost two consecutive sets of 5-11, 4-11, and finally was eliminated by a big score of 3-4: from the later battle situation, she did collapse, and her ability to control the game still needs to be improved!
At present, the national table tennis has lost to South Korean and Japanese athletes in consecutive competitions, so can the remaining players fight to the end and win the championship? Let's wait and see!
