On December 22, Beijing time, the semifinals of the Chinese Table Tennis Super League started a fierce battle. Shandong Luneng beat Shanghai Longteng 3-1, but there were surprising turnarounds in both games.
First of all, Wang Manyu turned the tables against the wind in the second game and overturned Zhang Rui's difficulty. Although they won the first game by an 11-5 advantage, they lost the second and third games 10-12 and 7-11 respectively, falling into a 1-2 disadvantage. However, in the next two games, Zhang Rui seemed to lose his form and was defeated by Wang Manyu 11-2 and 11-3. So far, Wang Manyu has scored a crucial second point for Shandong Luneng. The victory came very hard, and if it weren't for Zhang Rui's sluggish performance at a critical moment, the victory might have been lost.
The subsequent match was even more dramatic, Chen Xingtong lost 1-3 in the contest with Chen Yi, making it impossible for Shandong Luneng to lock the duel to 3-0 in advance. The game was so intense that it was jaw-dropping. Previously, at the WTT Nagoya Women's Finals in Japan, Chen Xingtong swept Wang Manyu 3-0 and advanced to the semifinals. However, she has since suffered from online violence. The reason is that in the battle with Wang Yidi, there was a move to check the mobile phone, which was suspected of violating the regulations of WTT, which caused a lot of controversy. In the end, the matter intensified, forcing Chen Xingtong to issue a statement apologizing in person, admitting that he checked his mobile phone, not intentionally to pass on information, but only to check his notes. However, online violence is still a problem.
Judging from the score of this game, Chen Xingtong's loss is regrettable. She went 10-12, 6-11, 11-8 and 7-11 to show some competitiveness, but she still couldn't stop the loss. This once shining player on the world stage is now struggling in the shadow of online violence. In the game, she lost her former advantage, and the impact of online violence on her can be seen from the situation in which she played the ball.
Secondly, Chen Xingtong's performance after the competition further revealed the psychological pressure of online violence on athletes. In the face of defeat, she reluctantly issued an apology statement, but she still could not escape abuse and attacks. As a world No. 6 player, Chen Xingtong is under great pressure while bearing huge accolades. Now, she can't extricate herself from the whirlpool of online violence, and even faces serious punishment risks, which is embarrassing.
Thirdly, Chen Xingtong's defeat has given people a deeper understanding of the impact of online violence on athletes. In this game, Chen Yi was able to defeat Chen Xingtong with a disparity of 1-3, which is enough to show the depth of the impact of online violence on the players. Even if Chen Xingtong loses one after another and is not in good shape, it should not lead to such a big gap when facing Chen Yi. The reason behind this is precisely the serious impact of online violence on the psychology and state of athletes.
In addition, the competition also showed us the transmission effect of online violence on athletes' performance. While Chen Xingtong was subjected to online violence, other athletes were also unable to escape from it. In the game, although Wang Manyu defeated Sun Mingyang with a score of 3-1, the process was not easy. As the No. 1 seed, Wang Manyu stabilized his position in the game and led the team to advance smoothly. However, if Chen Xingtong's form can improve, Shandong Luneng's winning prospects may be more optimistic.
To sum up, the impact of online violence on athletes cannot be ignored. We should pay attention to these ping-pong athletes who are fighting for national honor and protect them from online violence. To this end, we call on the majority of netizens to respect the efforts and efforts of the athletes, and give them more understanding and support. At the same time, we also hope that the mainland table tennis community can take effective measures to create a good competitive environment for athletes, so that they can continue to win glory for the country on the world stage.
Finally, let's take another look back at this thought-provoking game. Chen Xingtong's defeat is not only a regret of a competitive competition, but also a vivid portrayal of the impact of online violence on athletes. We hope that Chen Xingtong can survive this difficult period, regain his form, and continue to show the style of Chinese table tennis on the international stage. At the same time, we also hope that all athletes can stay away from online violence and meet the challenges of the future in the best condition.
