Table Tennis World Cup: Hina Hayada went crazy!3-0 swept the famous players, and the Japanese team advanced to the top 8
On the evening of December 5, Beijing time, the Chengdu Table Tennis Mixed Team World Cup once again staged a key showdown, and the national table tennis rival Japan team met an old opponent, that is, the United States team. Although there is a big difference in the overall strength of the two sides, everyone is more concerned about the performance of American star Zhang An, after all, she has defeated world champion Miu Hirano, and the form of this competition is also very good.
The result was a resounding victory for Japan, sweeping their opponents 8-0 on aggregate, and Hina Hayada swept Zhang An 3-0 to collect 32 points from the group stage and advance to the quarter-finals, which is not surprising - see below for details.
Highlights of the game
The Japanese team is the top team in this World Cup, and its strength can be said to be second only to the national table tennis, although the men's team only has Tomokazu Zhangmoto and Hayasuke Togami who can play, but the four members of the women's team are all first-class in the foreign association, so many fans regard them as the favorite team to compete for the first championship with the national table tennis.
Relatively speaking, the level of the American team is relatively average, and it is difficult for them to overturn the Japanese team with almost all Chinese lineups, but as mentioned earlier, Zhang An's level is okay, so fans will see if she can win the upset.
The process of the game
In the first set of the mixed doubles, Japan sent a new pair of Hayasuke Togami/Zhang Motomei, who have been on the rise recently, and Liang Jishan/Wang Amy on the opposite side, who had a clear advantage and won 11-6, 11-4, 11-6 in a row.
The second set of singles was the focus of attention on both sides, and that was Hina Hayada vs Zhang An - as mentioned earlier, Zhang An defeated Japan's main Miu Hirano, and this time it was also a hindrance for the Japanese team. However, Japan did not send Miu Hirano to the game at all, but let the stronger Hina Hayada fight, and the chances of victory were obviously greater.
After the start of the game, Hina Hayada quickly grasped the initiative on the court and immediately won 11-5. In the second game, Zhang An's attack was still unable to break the defense, and he was forced into a desperate situation by the Japanese star again with an 11-5 victory. In the third game, the two finally fought a little fiercely, but the end was still Hina Hayada won 11-9, and the Japanese team scored 6 points.
In the third set, Tomokazu Zhang played against Naresh, and the Japanese teenager ended the battle with a bombardment of 11-2, 11-5, and the Japanese team swept the United States with a total score of 8-0, winning all the group stage and advancing to the quarterfinals.
