With the last goal falling, the Chinese team led by Ma Long, Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong defeated germany to win the men's team championship in table tennis. At the same time, it also means that all the events of the table tennis project of this Olympic Games have ended, and the Chinese table tennis team has won a total of four gold and one silver.
A year late for the Olympics
Laugh to the end of the "dragon python fat"
* Hot Knowledge: Ma Long: Dragon Team; Xu Xin: Big Python; Fan Zhendong: Xiao Fat. The three are collectively known as "Dragon Python Fat".
China vs Germany
First: Ma Long/Xu Xin 3:0 Pol/Francesca
Second: Fan Zhendong 3:2 Ochalov
Race 3: Malone 3:1 Pol
In the first doubles, Ma Long and Xu Xin, two veterans, joined forces and won 3:0 at a fast pace, making a good start for the team.
In the second singles match, Fan Zhendong faced Ochalov, the game was not easy, and finally won 3:2 reverse, which was a small fat with a strong heart (exercise the heart of the fans).
In the third singles game, Malone won the first two sets. After the Chinese team came to the championship point in the third set, the two sides could not hold each other, and Ball turned the situation around and won the first set at 13:11. In the fourth set that followed, Malone defeated Ball 11-7. The Chinese team once again defended the Olympic table tennis men's team championship!
The ball hits the back of a companion? Calm!
During the doubles match, many spectators noticed that Xu Xin, who was chasing the ball, hit the ball on the back of his teammate Malone, but the two were very calm and continued to complete the game in full condition.
For experienced athletes, such an "accident of hitting oneself by mistake" is already a small scene. For example, Fan Zhendong, another member of the boy band, once hit a teammate's head with a ball in a doubles match, and exploded the ball (it was a real cracked "explosion"), proposed to the referee to change the ball, and then seriously played again.
After winning the championship, the three members of the Chinese team were also very calm.
Xu Xin: The coach asked us not to have baggage before the game, and we did the same.
Fan Zhendong: (When behind) Strengthen yourself.
Malone: [Winning the championship] It's probably fun at this moment, and that's it. It may be an important experience in life, but it is not the whole of life.
Victory is not proud, defeat is not discouraged, this is the Chinese team!
Collective honor, unsung hero
The team competition is the most emblematic of the "soul of the group" and the momentum of the competition, and in the national table tennis team, the contribution to the Olympics is far more than the few athletes we see on the field.
In addition to the official players, the men's and women's teams each have a substitute, the women's team Wang Manyu, and the men's team Wang Chuqin. Wang Manyu came off the bench with Liu Shiwen retired due to injury, and together with Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, he spelled the gold medal of the women's team.
In addition, a number of athletes came to Japan to accompany the train under the epidemic, including Wang Yidi, Gu Yuting, Zhang Rui and Liu Fei of the women's team, and Xu Chenhao, Cui Qinglei, Liang Jingkun, Fang Bo and others of the men's team.
The sparring athletes are also very strong, and there are also many people who use special playing styles: Gu Yuting is a left-handed clapper, and Liu Fei is a sharpshooter. National table tennis players often say that they are "prepared for difficulties", and in training, sparring is to create various "difficulties" for teammates.
Zhang Rui, a female table tennis player, imitated Ito's various playing styles to help Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and others prepare for the battle.
From Rio to Tokyo, Fang Bo was an Olympic sparring partner. And he once praised another sparring partner, Cui Qinglei, as "the world's first sparring partner", laughing that "when the state is depressed, I ask him to practice, and the state comes back immediately, because he can play while praising a lesson".
After the men's team won the championship, the national table tennis players congratulated weibo
In addition to the team members who came to Tokyo to train, the national table tennis team also has many athletes, coaches and logistics support personnel, who have contributed to the Olympic Games. Some of them are already world champions, and some of them want to stand on the Olympic field, but collective honor is above all else, which is a belief they hold together.
