In June 2017, under the age of 17, Sun Yingsha participated in the World Series - Japan Open for the first time. Without warning, she won the women's singles and doubles. A generation of geniuses was born.
Sun Yingsha debuted at the peak and quickly stood on the roof of the world. However, the overlord of the table tennis world at that time was Chen Meng.
Just like a barrel of water, the level of table tennis does not depend on how long you have a barrel board, but on your shortest bucket board, because the opponent always attacks your weak points.
At the top of the world at that time, Sun Yingsha's forehand bucket plate was longer than Chen Meng's, but the backhand bucket plate was shorter than Chen Meng; Wang Manyu's backhand barrel plate is longer than Chen Meng's, but the forehand barrel plate is shorter than Wang Manyu; And Chen Meng's forehand bucket board is not very long, and the backhand bucket board is not very long, but her forehand and backhand bucket board are balanced, and she holds more water than Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu.
In Tokyo 2021, Chen Meng won the Olympic gold medal and announced that he had entered the "Chen Meng era".
In fact, at that time, Wang Manyu was already mending her forehand and gradually lengthening the barrel board of her forehand.
Chen Meng's era is short, and at the 2022 World Championships in Houston, Wang Manyu rose rapidly and took away the women's singles championship. At that time, table tennis seemed to have entered the "Wang Manyu era".
Since Wang Manyu, born in 1999, can lengthen the barrel board of her forehand, why can't Sun Yingsha, born in 2000, stretch the barrel board of her backhand?
In the 2023 Straight Pass and Singapore Grand Slam tournaments, as soon as Sun Yingsha appeared, we quickly noticed the difference between her, her backhand not only had few mistakes and good holding, but also practiced a very strong offensive quick tear. We understand that Sun Yingsha's backhand bucket board is also elongated.
After Sun Yingsha lengthened the backhand bucket board and Wang Manyu lengthened the forehand bucket board, the length of the barrel board of the three of them was that Sun Yingsha was longer than Wang Manyu, and Wang Manyu was longer than Chen Meng.
As a result, Sun Yingsha passed all the way and won the championship in the domestic direct competition.
On March 18, Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Manyu 4-0 in the semifinals of the Singapore Grand Slam Tournament to reach the final. There is no doubt that she will defeat Qian Tianyi in the final to win the championship.
At this point, it is possible to "publicize the people": Sun Yingsha ascended the throne, the world of table tennis was initially decided, and the world table tennis entered the "Sun Yingsha era".
In this match, Sun Yingsha, who stretched the backhand barrel board, played Wang Manyu without fighting back, and when she led 8-2 in the third game, she herself was a little in a trance, why is she so powerful? And fans can't help but ask, will the "Sun Yingsha era" be as short as the "Chen Meng era" and the "Wang Manyu era"? Foolishly, it shouldn't.
The reasons are as follows:
1. It is very difficult for young people to pull open a short barrel plate, and it is very difficult to stretch all the barrel plates again at the same time. Chen Meng and Wang Manyu want to defeat Sun Yingsha, and they will face the situation of lengthening all barrels in the future, which is difficult to do.
2. Wang Manyu immediately encountered a large number of injuries after lengthening his forehand barrel board, it should be that his body has encountered the limit, and it is very difficult to improve again as a whole.
3. Judging from the world ball game that is playing faster and faster, it seems that short people have more advantages. Such as Akane Yamaguchi in badminton, Deng Yaping in table tennis, and Messi in football, according to this analysis, Sun Yingsha, who is 1.62 meters tall, has a natural advantage.
Therefore, if there is no more special genius and Sun Yingsha does not have more serious injuries, the "Sun Yingsha era" will last for a long time.
Of course, the barrel with a long barrel plate does not necessarily carry more water, if the person who picks the barrel is unsteady, the bucket with more water will also become less water because the water flows out. Sun Yingsha, the "little devil" who has created her own era, must act steadily to achieve far-reaching.
