Why did the national table tennis lose two games to Japan? Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, and Sun Yingsha themselves said the reason
The Chengdu Table Tennis Mixed Team World Cup has come to an end, and the national table tennis team was almost upset in the focus of the quarterfinals round-robin match with the Japanese team, among which the mixed doubles Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha lost 1-2 to Hayasuke Togami/Miwa Zhangmoto, and the men's singles Fan Zhendong lost to Tomokazu Zhang Ben 1-2. In addition, Chen Meng/Wang Manyu also saved match points and narrowly defeated Zhang Benmei and Kihara Miyu 2-1.
Although the Chinese team had the last laugh with an overall advantage of 8-5 in total, this game really shocked the fans into a cold sweat, after all, many people thought that the national table tennis was likely to be easy to win before the game, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult to win.
So what's the problem? Let's listen to how the three main players of national table tennis summarize after the game!
In the first set of mixed doubles, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha lost two games in a row with a 1-0 lead and was reversed, and both games were lost by 2 points.
"At the critical moment, I should be more active, stand up a little more to help Sasha share the pressure, or I want to follow her opinions and ideas too much, and when it really comes, I should take the initiative to share, which I have not done enough. ”
Sun Yingsha commented on her mixed doubles performance:
"It's not that it didn't play well... First of all, the understanding of the opponent and the strain on the field were not sufficient, and in the third game, there were a few unnecessary mistakes when I had some balls to score, (which should be considered) the relationship between the fierce and stable, which led to a passive situation. ”
Through the words of the above two people, we can see that the preparation of the new Japanese mixed doubles pair Hayasuke Togami/Miwa Zhang in this competition has indeed gone wrong, probably because the two opponents have not cooperated for a long time and are not potential participants in the Olympic Games, so they have not attracted enough attention.
In addition, Wang Chuqin mentioned that he "should take the initiative to share", which also reflects that there is indeed something wrong with the cooperation and communication between him and Sun Yingsha - doubles is a matter of two people after all, and how to find the most suitable point in the process of mutual communication still requires two people to use their brains.
Fan Zhendong also expressed his opinion on the loss of his men's singles, he said:
"I think I played very well today, it's not that the transfer is bad, it may be that some pre-match preparations, including the speed of timely adjustment after encountering difficulties on the court, are still slow, and it may really be 0-2 behind, and the third game is only slightly better, so I think that in the face of such a short game, once there are difficulties in such a system, my ability to get rid of it is still poor. ”
Here Fan Zhendong also mentioned the problem of insufficient preparation, but his situation is obviously different from the mixed doubles, after all, Zhang Benzhihe is an old opponent, there is no unfamiliarity, the key is that he is a little uncomfortable with the new format, and he is too slow to enter the state, so he lost two games in a blink of an eye and lost too quickly.
But let's be honest, whether it is Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha or Fan Zhendong, their form fluctuations are by no means new to this World Cup - not long ago, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha lost to Lin Shidong/Kuai Man, Liu Dingshuo/Wang Tianyi in domestic and foreign competitions a total of three times, and now the foreign war has collapsed and lost to Hayasuke Togami/Miwa Zhangmoto.
As for Fan Zhendong, who has lost to Zhao Dacheng, Alex, and Lee Sang-so in foreign wars this year, and now the World Cup has been overturned by Zhang Benzhihe, and he has lost to Japan, South Korea, and European players within a year, which is really to be taken seriously!
As an important candidate for the national table tennis to participate in the Paris Olympics, I hope that the above three main players can recover as soon as possible, and if they have the opportunity to play in the last game of the World Cup, I hope they can defeat South Korea's strong opponents and prove themselves again: Come on!
