After the World Table Tennis Championships, National Table Tennis also participated in a business activity held by a courier company, in which national table tennis player Wang Chuqin also appeared on the table to interact with fans. In the interactive session of table tennis, table tennis coach Li Falcon, as the referee, said that Wang Chuqin's obstructive serve caused the interactive fans to make a mistake in receiving the serve, and asked him to serve again. This naturally caused discussion among the majority of fans, because Wang Chuqin's serve has caused complaints at the World Table Tennis Championships, whether it is with teammates or competitors, they are not very comfortable with his serve.
Especially in the men's doubles match between Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong, when playing against the Lebrun brothers in France, Wang Chuqin's blocking serve gave the Lebrun brothers no advantage in the receiving service. The Lebrun brothers lost their temper in this match, especially in the tiebreaker between the two sides, and the Lebrun brothers interrupted the match to complain to the referee. Even the off-field coach of the Lebrun brothers directly questioned the referee's blind eye to Wang Chuqin's blocking serve after the game, and the French brothers lost the game very unwillingly.
The men's doubles competition of the World Table Tennis Championships was not only that the French combination thought that Wang Chuqin's serve was illegal, but even Lee Sang-so of the South Korean combination also reported this problem to the referee. Occlusive serve is a difficult thing to define, some referees may be looser, others may be stricter in their decision. Before the Japanese table tennis player Misei Ito blocked the serve, which made many players uncomfortable with the receiving service.
Therefore, simply complaining to the referee has no effect, and only trying to adapt to the opponent's serve is the best way to fight back. Since you dare to send such a controversial ball, it means that the referee has acquiesced. Wang Chuqin has long been accurate in the referee's penalty scale, so this kind of blocking serve is expected to be popular in the future. At present, Liu Guoliang is the first vice president of the ITTF, and he should be very supportive of this way of serving.
Because Liu Guoliang was famous for his shielded serve in the player era, the subsequent ITTF changed the serving rules, and Liu Guoliang did not adapt to the new unobstructed serving rules, so he chose to retire. Liu Guoliang has never rejected this kind of occlusive serve from the bottom of his heart, which is the best serving technique of his career. Wang Chuqin's current way of serving is to pay tribute to Senior Liu, so it is not easy for anyone to complain.
Especially in the final between Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, many fans of Fan Zhendong thought that Wang Chuqin's serve was illegal, which indeed caused great controversy among fans on both sides. Many fans think that if Wang Chuqin is not dominant in the serve round, it will be difficult to drag Fan Zhendong to the tiebreaker. Fortunately, Fan Zhendong's hard power is still excellent, and he won 11:3 in the tiebreaker.
It's just that the fans of both sides quarreled, and blocking the serve seemed to some fans to be a trick, even if they won the game, it was dishonorable. No player has ever won because of his serve, and if he wants to win a real major championship, he still has to rely on his overall strength. Occlusive serve cannot be a key factor in determining the game, as is Mimato Ito, as is Liu Guoliang.
Wang Chuqin's serve is indeed more threatening, including his former coach Liu Guozheng, who believes that the final measure should be the referee's decision. Because the fans can't fight for a result, if the referee doesn't think Wang Chuqin's serve is a foul, no amount of controversy the fans have, it won't have any effect. Provincial coach Zhang Chao also commented on Wang Chuqin's serve, and he believed that Wang Chuqin's sidespin serve was indeed hidden.
In particular, Wang Chuqin sends long balls and does not turn, and it is always easy to slow down by half a beat when the opponent notices. Wang Chuqin's serving wrist shakes particularly fast, and it is indeed not easy for ordinary players to notice. It should be said that this is the technical advantage of Wang Chuqin's serve, and speed is the foundation of his existence. When Hayasuke Togami commented on Wang Chuqin's serve, he said that the opponent had made good use of the entire area of the table, and the landing point of the serve was erratic.
Sun Yingsha also commented that among the current male players, Ma Long and Wang Chuqin's serve is the best, so Wang Chuqin's serve is indeed his personal technical advantage. Japanese table tennis player Kenta Matsudaira also commented that Wang Chuqin's serve point is very low, making it difficult for Zhang Benzhihe to twist directly, and the long ball is also served well. It can be seen that both his teammates and competitors have made positive comments on Wang Chuqin's serve.
It's just that many fans have stereotypes about Wang Chuqin's serve, which is understandable. Sometimes the threat of a player's serve is high, and many outsourced players will complain. This is all the result of the player's good serving technique, and it is understandable that some fans are prejudiced against their idols Aiwu and Wu, and incidentally against Wang Chuqin's serve.
Of course, Wang Chuqin's fans are also questioning the men's singles final of the World Table Tennis Championships, and Fan Zhendong's counter-rotation serve is occlusive. Therefore, fans on both sides quarrel and think that the opponent is suspected of blocking, in fact, the current players are more concerned about their own serves, and everyone wants to score directly on their own serves. As a left-handed player, Wang Chuqin is indeed a great threat to the right-handed player's serve.
However, Wang Chuqin's serve is a limited threat to a super-first-class expert like Fan Zhendong, and once the opponent adapts, it doesn't matter if he covers it or not. Wang Chuqin should still be prepared, once the referee's penalty scale is strict on any day, Wang Chuqin should prepare several sets of unobstructed serves. Wang Chuqin rarely sends that kind of high throw, or backhand serve, but should still plan ahead.
Especially in important matches, once targeted by the referee at the time, you can't play the whole field with a set of serves, in case you are deducted points by the referee, it is very passive. Therefore, the diversity and variability of players' serves is the real foundation.
