How do the two sides arrange their troops? Which one are you optimistic about?

On December 9th, Beijing time, the Chengdu Table Tennis Mixed Team World Cup is about to usher in a key matchup, that is, the national table tennis team against the Japanese team - before that, many fans regarded these two teams as the favorite candidates for the top two, but at present, Japan has lost 4-8 to South Korea, if it can't fight the national table tennis, there is a high probability that it can only fight for third.

Although the game has not yet started, fans have begun to discuss hotly, and one of the things that they are very concerned about is: how will the coaching staff of the two sides arrange the formation?

1. Analysis of the national table tennis array

In Quanyan's view, the first set of mixed doubles national table tennis is likely to let Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha play, for three reasons:

First, they are currently the strongest mixed doubles combination of the Chinese team, and their victory is guaranteed;

Second, national table tennis has always had a tradition of taking the lead and winning the first place, and it will not easily lose the first set;

Thirdly, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha are almost certain to be selected for the Paris Olympics, so this time against Japan is a good exercise.

If it is not Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, then the mixed doubles male player must be Lin Gaoyuan, as for the partner, Wang Manyu can also be Wang Yidi, but through the above three points of analysis, I personally think that the possibility of the coaching staff such an arrangement will be relatively small.

If Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha have already played in mixed doubles, they will not be able to participate in singles according to the rules, so Quan Yan believes that Fan Zhendong is more likely to play in the men's singles than Ma Long, and Ma Long is greater than Lin Gaoyuan, and the situation in women's singles is relatively more complicated.

In general, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng are more likely to play in the women's singles than Wang Yidi, on the one hand, because the first two are currently ahead of Wang Yidi in the Olympic competition, and on the other hand, because Wang Yidi has lost to the Japanese player four times this year, unless the coaching staff continues to train her at this juncture, it should not be inclined to let her appear.

As for Wang Manyu and Chen Meng's words, Wang Manyu suffered a loss and only lost to Diaz not long ago, and Chen Meng's problem is that he is older and also unstable, but considering that he may have to do both, he personally tends to be Wang Manyu.

2. Analysis of Japan's formation

Compared with the national table tennis, Japan's arrangement is more complicated, because we are on the dominant side, to put it bluntly, no matter how we arrange it, there is actually a high probability of winning, and if Japan doesn't use its brains, it won't be able to play.

Of course, the first way for the Japanese team to set up the formation is to completely "swing it out" and send some athletes to deal with it casually, which is really not impossible, because they didn't plan to participate in this competition, and although they signed up later, Ito Misei and others were not interested - but this article will not discuss this situation, but still analyze it from the perspective of the Japanese team's "want to win".

Personally, I think that if the Japanese team plays seriously, it is nothing more than three layout plans:

The first is the conservative version, mixed doubles Hayasuke Togami/Miwa Zhangmoto, women's singles Hina Hayata, men's singles Tomokazu Zhangmoto, women's doubles Miwa Zhangmoto/Miyu Kihara, men's doubles Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hayasuke Togami;

The second is the radical version, mixed doubles Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata, women's singles Miwa Zhangmoto, men's singles Hayasuke Togami, women's doubles Miwa Zhangmoto/Miyu Kihara, men's doubles skipped (because according to the regulations, the number of athletes in the male and female competitions must be the same, so in this case, only Tomokazu Zhangmoto and Hayasuke Togami can be paired with other teammates, basically no play);

The third is a compromise version, with mixed doubles Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata, women's singles Miu Hirano or Miyu Kihara, men's singles Hayasuke Uegami, women's doubles Miwa Zhangmoto/Miyu Kihara, and the same as the second type in Men's Doubles.

The advantage of the conservative version of the plan is that it is balanced and stable, and at the same time as trying to ensure two singles, it will see if the mixed doubles and women's doubles can win by surprise, while the men's doubles is actually better than nothing, which can be said to have no advantage; the radical version of the plan is not as stable as the first one, mainly to see if it can use the recent progress of Zhang Benmei and Hayasuke Togami to disrupt the rhythm of national table tennis.

As for the compromise version, it is naturally more uncertain than the conservative version, but at the same time it is more stable than the aggressive version, and of course, the reverse version is not as stable as the conservative version, and not as surprisingly successful as the aggressive version.

In Quanyan's view, the key to the current Japanese coaching staff's choice plan is Zhang Ben Miwa, if they think that Zhang Ben Meihe's impact on the national table tennis women's singles has been above Hayada Hina, it is undoubtedly better to choose the radical version, but if you think she is still not good, then Hayada Hina will most likely be put in the women's singles position.

Of course, considering that the current ranking of Japan's Olympic selection is Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano, Miyu Zhang is basically no play, so it is not ruled out that Miu Hirano, who has a high ceiling and a very low limit this year, will play in the women's singles.

3. Summary

Although there is a lot of analysis, the decision on the deployment of the two teams lies with the coaches of the two teams, not the author, so the above analysis is for reference only, and can only be regarded as a conversation with fans and friends after dinner. However, it is certain that the coaches of the two teams will inevitably consider the formation from the perspective of the following four aspects, namely:

1. The strength and recent state of his players;

2. The results of the battle with the opposing player;

3. The tacit understanding of doubles cooperation;

4. Matters related to the Olympic Games.
