The much-anticipated table tennis super league is in full swing, and now it is the second stage of the table tennis super competition, through the first stage of selection, the strong team gradually stands out, I have to say that the second stage of the game has increased, and at the same time, there are some upsets in the game. For example, the national table tennis Olympic champion Chen Meng was swept by the 21-year-old Li Yake, who was born in 2002, Chen Meng lost 3 games in a row and his expression was very depressed.
Coincidentally, it was not only Chen Meng who lost the main force of national table tennis, but also Chen Xingtong, Chen Xingtong swept Wang Manyu 3-0 in Nagoya, Japan, and then lost 1-4 in the game against Wang Yidi. Now that he came to the Table Tennis Super League to partner Wang Manyu, Qian Tianyi and others to compete for the championship of the Table Tennis Super League, what he didn't expect was that Chen Xingtong faced the 19-year-old Chen Yi and lost 1-3.
Many fans wonder why Chen Meng and Chen Xingtong lost in an upset? Next, let's learn the truth about losing, Chen Meng and Chen Xingtong are very familiar to everyone, in terms of the current results, Chen Meng is the most outstanding one of the national table tennis women's team, Chen Meng has won the singles gold medal of the Olympic Games, the singles gold medal of the World Cup, and only one singles gold medal of the World Table Tennis Championships can complete the feat of Grand Slam. But I have to admit that Chen Meng was born in 1994 and is now 29 years old, no matter how great an athlete is, he can't step through the hurdle of time, and the same is true for Chen Meng, plus after so many years of career, Chen Meng has suffered many injuries, and many fans think that Chen Meng is going downhill.
Fans who often pay attention to Chen Meng know that Chen Meng's 2023 competition, in singles, Chen Meng faces the 21-year-old Li Yake, the opponent has a strong impact, and he has performed very well among players of the same age, and he has also defeated Wang Manyu before, and now he has come to the Table Tennis Super League, young players play very seriously, and take out the attitude of an impactor to challenge the main force of national table tennis, that is to say, there is not too much psychological baggage, so it is easier to play well.
Fans who watched the live broadcast knew that Chen Meng did not play so strongly in the game, losing 11-9 in the first game, Chen Meng entered the state a little slowly, it was obvious that the pre-game preparation was not as good as the youngster, and then in the second game Chen Meng started very well, and after getting the advantage, the young player was not to be outdone, and constantly hit Chen Meng, Chen Meng had no choice but to call out a timeout, and the pause still did not stop the decline, and the game lost 11-13.
Then the third game started, Chen Meng was suppressed at the beginning, did not find a way to crack the opponent, lost 6-11 in this game, and finally lost to the teenager 3-0. Although Sun Yingsha made a cameo on the sidelines to give Chen Meng ideas, but when she returned to the court, Chen Meng moved slowly, the opponent's impact was too strong, and Chen Meng couldn't parry it at all, so Chen Meng lost 0-3 to the youngster, mainly because he was older, and sometimes he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, of course, it was also related to not being familiar with the opponent's style of play.
On the other hand, it is easy to understand that Chen Xingtong lost, in fact, Chen Xingtong became famous earlier, and once had an advantage over Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and others, and won the team championship of the World Cup with the main force of women's table tennis in 2018, at that time Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng were defeated. Chen Xingtong is very aggressive and has a very tough style of play, but unfortunately there are not many changes in the game, and he has not learned to play with his brain, and his position in the national table tennis is also very embarrassing.
As the so-called watchdog will not look at the lively, the competitive pressure between the national table tennis is very large, there is competition in every time ladder, for the main force of the national table tennis not only to resist the impact of foreign association players, but also to beware of the young players to catch up, it is also this fierce competition that has created the greatness of the national table tennis, there are no long-term winning players, but there is an enduring national table tennis, everyone is right?
