Preface
In the past ITTF Mixed Team World Cup, there was an unexpected scene, mainland player Fan Zhendong lost to Japan's Tomokazu Zhangmoto and retreated.
Although the national table tennis won the final victory in the end, it was indeed a pity that Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin played against Taipei players, and Fan Zhendong played against Zhang Benzhi and the defeat of these two games.
Tomokazu Zhangmoto's mother was interviewed after the game, and in the face of her son's victory, she made no secret of her joy and said excitedly:
"Defeating Fan Zhendong is a normal performance, Fan Zhendong is not terrible now, but such a victory is really relieving. ”
It seems that Tomokazu Zhangmoto's mother has always had high hopes for him, and we all know that Tomokazu Zhangmoto was originally a mainland national, and later chose to naturalize Japan to represent Japan in the competition.
So, now that Zhang Benzhihe defeated Fan Zhendong, who is ranked No. 1 in the men's singles world, does it mean that he will always be a strong opponent of national table tennis in the future?
1. A family of four, three people naturalized in Japan
In 2003, Tomokazu Zhang was born in Japan, his parents are famous players of the Chinese table tennis team, and his mother Zhang Ling is even more powerful. 、
However, later, his father Zhang Yuzhi was not in the mainland and went to Japan to be a coach, and Tomokazu Zhang and his sister Meihe Zhang embarked on the road of table tennis in Japan.
When Zhang Benzhihe was young, his father Zhang Yu took his son to participate in competitions everywhere, wanting to let him inherit the mantle of himself and his wife.
In such an environment, although Tomokazu Zhang is still a Chinese national, he has been influenced by Japan in many aspects, such as his Xi of life, cultural Xi habits, and training methods.
But it is undeniable that under the careful cultivation of his parents, Zhang Benzhihe is very strong and has made rapid progress.
Since elementary school, Tomokazu has won the local championship for 4 consecutive years.
At the 2014 Japan Table Tennis Championships, 10-year-old Tomokazu Harimoto made his debut, defeating a 17-year-old high school student, setting a record for the youngest Japanese table tennis player to win.
What's even more surprising is that Tomokazu Zhangmoto, who is not yet 14 years old, actually participated in an international event such as the World Table Tennis Championships in Düsseldorf, and in the second round, he defeated Japan's powerful fighter Mizutani Hayabusa.
When everyone turned their attention to this young general, they found that he had completely changed from a Chinese to a Japanese.
In 2014, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, his father and sister joined the Japanese nationality, changed their surnames, and added "Ben" after "Zhang", becoming an out-and-out Japanese name.
As soon as this incident came out, it sparked a lot of discussions.
Some people believe that Zhang Benzhi and his family have forgotten their ancestors.
Some people think that the word "Ben" is Zhang Benzhi and his family reminding themselves not to forget their roots.
Of course, choosing which country's nationality to join is also the choice of their family, but soon, Zhang Benzhi and his mother Zhang Ling, the only ones who did not change their nationality, once again triggered everyone's crusade.
Zhang Benzhi and his mother were teary-eyed in the face of the interview, and they seemed to have a lot of helplessness when talking about the reasons for naturalizing in Japan, but they also vaguely revealed the reason why they did not change their nationality.
As we all know, mainland table tennis has always been unstoppable in major competitions, and his mother Zhang Ling hopes that Zhang Benzhihe can occasionally return to his hometown Sichuan to follow the Chinese model of training and improve his actual combat ability during daily training.
And Tomokazu Zhang himself put down his arrogance and expressed his loyalty to the Japanese team:
"My dream in the future is to represent Japan at Tokyo 2020 and win a gold medal, and I want to win the World Championships. ”
Since then, Zhang Benzhihe's heart, everyone has also understood that standing on the field, he is the opponent of the Chinese team.
Second, young talents, outstanding achievements
Since 2015, Zhang Benzhihe has started his road of conquest, killing all sides in major competitions, but after meeting mainland player Xu Xin, he was indeed beaten a little collapsed.
In the duel with Xu Xin, Zhang Benzhi and eight defeats in eight fights, and the Chinese player became a nightmare in his sports career.
To this end, Tomokazu Zhang has been training hard, from a little wolf cub with fangs bared to a real wolf.
In 2017, Tomokazu Zhang defended his Czech Open title.
In April 2018, Zhang Benzhihe defeated many players in national table tennis, Fan Zhendong, Zhou Yu, Ma Long and others, becoming the youngest men's singles champion.
Young hero, everyone thought that Tomokazu Zhangmoto's athletic career would be smooth sailing, but by 2020, the situation was reversed.
Ma Long continued his super strength, and in the 2020 World Cup, he reversed the original disadvantage and defeated Tomokazu Zhangmoto.
In 2021, Tomokazu Zhang went downhill again, missed the finals of the Olympic Games, and lost miserably at the World Table Tennis Championships.
In people's hearts, the genius boy who was praised at the beginning seemed to have lost his former momentum, and with his various things of "naturalizing Japan", he was suddenly pushed to the forefront again.
However, it turns out that although Tomokazu Zhang has had a low point, he has been adjusting himself, and this competition is exactly that.
Third, defeating Fan Zhendong, the mother was excited, and the father was silent and black-faced throughout the whole process
When Fan Zhendong and Zhang Benzhihe came on the court, many viewers saw that the chubby Fan Zhendong was not in good shape, perhaps because of an old shoulder injury
On the other hand, Tomokazu Zhangmoto is full of energy and seems to be full of confidence in this game.
Sure enough, in the first game, Xiaopang retreated one after another, winning a score of 3-11, his face was full of helplessness, and Zhang Benzhihe let out a roar to celebrate the victory.
Although the second game was better, Xiaopang was still defense-oriented, and the overall style of play was more conservative, winning a 6-11 defeat, Zhang Benzhihe fell to the ground excitedly, cheering and celebrating,
In the third game, Chubby gradually regained his form, but the situation was decided, and Zhang Benzhi and victory.
After the game, this duel between Chinese and Japanese players sparked a discussion, and the performance of Zhang Benzhi and his family was also intriguing.
Tomokazu Zhang's high-profile celebration has always been easy to offend, but everyone is used to it.
In contrast, the performance of Zhang Benzhi and his parents is a little unusual.
Mother Zhang Ling bluntly said that Fan Zhendong is not terrible, but it is really relieving to defeat him.
As for the "relief of qi" in the mouths of Zhang Benzhi and his mother, it is really confusing, where does this gas come from?
Could it be that he thinks that Zhang Benzhi and some of his previous failures really shouldn't be, and this time he can be regarded as showing his true strength?
When his father Zhang Yu returned to his former hometown of Sichuan, as a coach, he was silent and black-faced throughout the whole process, looking very nervous, and even didn't say a few words when he was guiding in the middle of the field.
When the son triumphed, the father did not show much joy.
Perhaps as a player who has worked hard in China for many years, his father Zhang Yu changed his nationality and returned here with the Japanese team, and the situation is still a little embarrassing.
However, in any case, the game has passed, and the national table tennis should learn a lesson, and also realize that Zhang Benzhihe is only 20 years old now, is in his golden period, and has unlimited potential in the future, and is indeed an opponent that the Chinese team cannot be underestimated.
And the national table tennis, especially the men's table tennis, is still carrying the overall situation with Ma Long and other veterans, and there is a great danger of not being able to catch the yellow and yellow.
epilogue
Victory and defeat are a common occurrence in soldiers, and this is especially true in competitive sports.
But judging from the two upsets of Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong in this competition, national table tennis still needs to be prepared for danger in times of peace and face more challenges and rising new forces.
