China National Table Tennis has always been a leader in table tennis, but has recently encountered repeated setbacks in the women's doubles event. From the Asian Games to the Lanzhou Challenge, the performance of the women's doubles has been eye-popping.
At the Asian Games, the national table tennis women's doubles Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu lost to Japan in the 1/4 final, while Chen Meng and Wang Yidi were defeated by the sister combination of India. This means that the national table tennis failed to win gold in the women's doubles event of the Asian Games. Then, at the Lanzhou Challenge, the third ace women's doubles combination of National Table Tennis Zhang Rui and Quang Man were counterattacked by the combination of Chinese Taipei in the 1/8 final, which further deepened the crisis of National Table Tennis in the women's doubles event.
These two failures are not only the victory or loss of the competition, but also the in-depth reflection of the national table tennis women's doubles project. Why do you keep missing out in crucial matches? Is it a tactical problem, a matter of mentality, or something else?
In sports, victory and defeat are the norm, but successive failures inevitably lead to deep thinking. National table tennis and coach Ma Lin need to conduct a comprehensive review of the women's doubles project, find out the root cause of the problem, and adjust it in time to ensure that there can be a breakthrough in future matches.
Table tennis, although it is a sport on a small court, is no less deep and complex than any large ball game in terms of tactical level. Here are some common tactical problems in table tennis and their analysis: some players serve in a single way and are easy to guess by opponents.
Increase the variation of serve, including direction of rotation, speed and drop point, making it difficult for opponents to predict. The opponent's serve is too threatening, causing himself to be passive when receiving the serve. Be prepared by observing your opponent's movements and the angle of your racket, and anticipate the direction and rotation of your serve in advance.
On some occasions, too much reliance on pulling the ball led to an increase in errors. Depending on the rotation and position of the ball, you can choose to pull or push the ball flexibly, and you don't have to pursue the attack too much. Movement on the field is not flexible enough, resulting in being defeated by opponents. Strengthen foot training, improve movement speed and judgment, and ensure that you can quickly reach the landing point of the ball. It is easy to get nervous at critical moments, which leads to mistakes.
Strengthen mental training, learn to adjust breathing and mentality, and make sure to stay calm during the game. There is always a disadvantage for certain players. Conduct special analysis and training for the playing style of these players, and develop targeted tactics.
