On the afternoon of October 8, the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships men's team semi-final match between China and Japan reached the second set, and Japan's Zhang Benzhi defeated China's Wang Chuqin 3-1 to pull the two teams to 1-1. In the game, Zhang Benzhihe once again roared from beginning to end, shouting after winning almost every point.
Zhang Benzhi shouted after the score
In table tennis, many players will subconsciously shout after scoring. This includes many big-name golfers, such as Marlene shouting very confident "got it", the big devil Zhang Yining is "yo", Kong Linghui is "ho", Wang Hao is the classic "sha", and these words actually have no special meaning, at most represent their own sports habits. Chen Meng would often shout out an English word, "TROY". Table tennis first originated in Britain, and in the Encyclopedia of English, "TROY" is a slang term meaning to continue and continue to work hard, and now it has changed into a word that boosts morale and blows the morale of opponents.
The players let out a roar, one is to vent their nervousness, the other is to celebrate their score, and more importantly, to deter their opponents.
In today's table tennis arena, the strength of athletes from various countries and regions is constantly improving, the intensity of competition is getting bigger and bigger, and the confrontation is becoming more and more intense. According to the American Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, when visual and auditory stimuli originate from the same object, it can often help individuals pay more attention to visual stimuli. In other words, the shouts of table tennis players after hitting the ball can help them pay more attention to the opponent's hitting actions and incoming balls.
Secondly, shouting as a psychological hint helps table tennis players to grasp the rhythm of batting, help them better control the speed of the game, bring great self-confidence and control to the athletes, relieve pressure and adjust the atmosphere. At the same time, it can also distract the opponent to a certain extent, deter the opponent, and interfere with the opponent's perception and accuracy of the shot.
Zhang Benzhi shouted after the score
But almost no player is like Zhang Benzhihe, shouting after every point. Some netizens said that Zhang Benzhihe shouted "knock lak one", which means very disrespectful and provocative to opponents in the Japanese dialect. For this shouting of Zhang Benzhihe, even many Japanese netizens expressed dissatisfaction, believing that his move was too disrespectful. In the comment area below his related war reports, many people left messages hoping that he could get rid of this habit, "It is too rude to say such things to the other side"; "Every time I hear him shout this sentence loudly, I feel very annoyed"; "Or change it, this is not a habit, but a problem"...
In the face of various doubts, Zhang Benzhihe said in a previous interview, "In the competition, I was very self-forgetful and concentrated, and shouting this sentence did not have a special meaning." ”
