On January 13, the 2023 Durban World Table Tennis Championships Asian qualifiers, the main player of the national table tennis men's team, Ma Long, defeated Japan's Hayasuke Togami 4-2 and qualified for the final stage of the World Table Tennis Championships, and since then the national table tennis has won the full quota of the singles event of the World Table Tennis Championships! In fact, the process of Ma Long qualifying for the Durban World Table Tennis Championships is not simple, in the last match, Ma Long and Japan's Maharu Yoshimura played 7 games, and finally lost 3-4. It is precisely for this reason that there is this match between Malone and Hayasuke Togami.
It is worth mentioning that after Ma Long lost to Japan's Maharu Yoshimura 3-4, another national table tennis hero will lose in the game! While the Durban World Table Tennis Championships Asian qualifiers were underway, the WTT Durban Regular Challenge also quietly kicked off, but in one of the matches, Sun Wen, a player of the national table tennis men's team, accidentally lost the game. What is even more unexpected is that the players who defeated Sun Wen in the game did not even have an off-field coach and fought alone. Sun Wen's defeat in the WTT Durban Regular Challenge made the "defense line" of the national table tennis men's team break again, and Mengshan lost the shadow of failure.
In the first game, Sun Wen and Aruna fell into a glue at the beginning, and the scores of the two alternately rose, but they never managed to open the gap! After that, the score of Sun Wen and Aruna came from 8-8 to 10-10, and it was difficult to give up. At the crucial moment, Aruna took the first set point 11-10 and won the first game 12-10. In the second game, although he lost the first game, Sun Wen's momentum did not decrease, and he fought with Aruna until it was difficult to separate. In the end, Aruna scored 15-13 and won the second game.
After the two games, Aruna led 2-0, and Sun Wen was temporarily at a disadvantage! In the third game, Sun Wen's game state soared, completely suppressed Sun Wen in momentum, and won the set point with a score of 11-10. In the end, Sun Wen successfully won the game 13-11, and the big score was temporarily trailing 1-2. In the fourth game, Aruna adjusted his game in time to turn the tide and win the next city at 11-8. In the end, Aruna successfully defeated Sun Wen 3-1 and won the match.
After the game, Aruna looked very excited, and even knelt on the ground to celebrate his hard-won victory, probably not expecting to defeat national table tennis player Sun Wen in the game! Careful fans may have found that the "fault" situation of the national table tennis men's team has been very serious, among the main players of the younger generation, only Fan Zhendong can pick up the beam alone, although the overall strength of Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin is not bad, but more game exercise is needed. Whether it is Ma Long's defeat in the game or Sun Wen, it is worth thinking deeply about Liu Guoliang, chairman of National Table Tennis, and trying to solve this problem.
