The group stage of the team world table tennis championships ushered in a focus battle, the Korean women's team led by Tian Zhixi against the Luxembourg women's team led by Ni Xialian. The first singles to play was Denut of the Luxembourg women's team, and it was Lee Shiwen of the South Korean team. I didn't expect that the young players of the Korean team were so strong, although they were the first to play, they played very actively, directly sweeping the future sister of Luxembourg 3:0.
In the first game of the two sides, the two men tested each other in a row, and the score was 5:5. Li Shiwen pulled a straight line with his forehand, received the ball and pulled down the net, and the score came to 6:6. De Nut pulled a wide angle, forehand to pull, and suddenly took a 9:6 lead. Li Shiwen did not hurry to grab the backhand position, and Denut made consecutive forehand and backhand mistakes, and was chased by the opponent to score 9:9.
On the key points, De Nut lost his forehand and pulled down the net to lose the first set 9-11. Although Li Shiwen is behind in the score, he has a strong ability to adjust. De Nut was too emotional, and although he took the lead by a large score at the beginning, his focus in the game was very poor, and De Nut still had a long way to go in terms of key points.
At least through the first set of the game, Denoor is far from Ni Xialian in terms of on-the-spot strain. In this kind of competition, the value of a player can be reflected, and Ni Xialian then defeated a Korean sister Tian Zhixi, giving a good lesson to the young players, verifying the old spicy sentence.
In the second innings, Lee Shi-woon pulled a straight line with his forehand and scored a short ball in the middle to make a 3:1 start. Denut took the initiative to change the line with his forehand, Li Shiwen hit the middle of the road to send a backhand long ball to sneak attack, and Denut made consecutive backhand offensive mistakes, falling behind 3:8. Denut couldn't find too many good offensive methods, Li Shiwen grabbed a large angle with his forehand, and pushed the middle of the road 10:3 to get the set point.
De Nut ate the serve and lost the second game 4-11. Lee Shi-win really established his lead in the second set, and De Nut did have a bit of a breakdown in the second set. Not only was there no way to fight back, and there were not too many threatening offenses at all, but the game in the third game still improved.
At first, De Nut changed the line with his forehand, and the forehand hoisting took a 4:1 lead. Li Shiwen served to grab the backhand position, the forehand actively changed the line, and the forehand position pulled back, chasing the score to 5:5. De Nut stepped down from the stage with a forehand attack, trailing 5-6 and calling a timeout. Lee then received the serve forehand to grab the attack, and De Nut ate the serve 5:8 behind.
De Nuter, who was behind in the score, swung a short triangle with his forehand and pressed his forehand against his backhand to chase the score to 7:9. Then De Nut played a short ball in the net, and the opponent won the set point 10-7. Lee Shi-win made a forehand steal and the De Nut backhand quick attack chased the score to 9:10. Li Shiwen withstood the pressure and won the third set with a straight forehand 11:9.
It can be seen that Li Shiwen, a young player, still dares to attack at a critical moment, and the Korean women's team let her take the lead, indicating that this player's ability to resist pressure is still very strong. Being able to directly sweep the opponent 3:0 shows that the Korean women's team is determined to train young players, or has achieved certain results.
Ni Xialian's match against Tian Zhixi was the focus of the decisive battle between the two sides. Although Tian Zhixi also found a certain restriction method in this game, constantly attacking sideways with his forehand to suppress it, Ni Xialian decisively changed the landing point of the return ball, and gradually reversed the passive situation.
In the first game of the two sides, Tian Zhixi was very unfamiliar with Ni Xialian's style of play, and the opening score was 1:6 behind. Ni Xialian ate a forehand short ball, Tian Zhixi lost the backhand, and chased the score to 4:7 through the backhand attack. Ni Xialian pushed straight back, sent a backhand short ball, and served to grab the set point 10:4, and finally won the first set 11:4.
The way Ni Xialian returned to receive the ball made Tian Zhixi very uncomfortable, and Tian Zhixi's control over the landing point of the return ball was indeed not in place. So the first game is equivalent to adapting to the opponent's ball path, and in the second game, the opening two sides have a continuous draw. Tian Zhixi strengthened the serve rush, but the active offensive mistakes were also more connected, and the two sides never threw off the score, until 7:7.
Tian Zhixi attacked continuously with his forehand on the side, and the forehand position was pulled back to take a 9:7 lead. Ni Xialian faced the opponent's continuous forehand sideways attack, the situation was very passive, and finally lost the second set 8:11. Tian Zhixi's way is to open a long ball to directly hit the attack, although it adds some active offensive mistakes, but the effect is still obvious.
If the two sides continue to compete for the control of the ball in the first three boards, Ni Xialian will definitely have an absolute advantage. By the third inning, the two sides had started 4-4. Ni Xialian pulled down the net with her forehand, and Tian Zhixi attacked the backhand position with her forehand, taking a 6:4 lead. After that, Tian Zhixi returned the ball and took the ball high, and Ni Xialian took the serve and swung it short, chasing the score to 6:6.
Ni Xialian actively changed the line with her forehand and backhand, losing the third set 6:11 with consecutive forehand and backhand errors. Ni Xialian changed the landing point of the return ball in this game, either swinging short or pushing the bottom line long ball, and the opponent's comfortable forehand attacked sideways. Therefore, after Tian Zhixi made a change from the other party, there was no good way to deal with it.
In the fourth set, Ni Xialian served to grab the forehand position, and Tian Zhixi made consecutive forehand and backhand mistakes. After a timeout was called after the opening 1:4 trail, Tian Zhixi then changed the way he served and chased the score to 3:4. Ni Xialian served to rush the attack, and the forehand of the serve was wrong, and the score between the two sides was 6:6.
Ni Xialian pushed back the small triangle and took the forehand fast belt to extend the score to 9:6. Tian Zhixi attacked continuously with his forehand to chase the score to 9:9. Ni Xialian took advantage of the two serve rounds to win the fourth set 11:9, and finally beat Tian Zhixi 3-1.
This is the advantage of the veteran, and the Korean women's group encountered the tenacious resistance of this veteran. I don't know what the majority of fans and friends think, welcome to leave a message to discuss.
