At present, the 2023 Chinese Table Tennis Super League Finals are in full swing in Shenzhen, and the two semifinals of the women's team have ended, and two upsets have been exposed.
The four teams of the women's team that entered the finals of the Table Tennis Super League are Shandong Luneng, Shenzhen University, Shanghai East China University of Technology and Shanghai Longteng, which bring together all the main players in the current national table tennis women's team.
The defending champion Shandong Luneng team is led by Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong, as well as Qian Tianyi and Fan Siqi, and the goal is undoubtedly to defend the title. However, the biggest opponent of the Shandong Luneng team is the Shenzhen University team led by Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, and in last year's Table Tennis Super League, Shenzhen University lost 2-3 to Shangdong Luneng and regretted losing the championship.
Shanghai East China University of Technology is led by Wang Yidi, and there are also Li Yake, Wang Xiaotong two non-main players of the national team, although they have a certain strength, but it is really difficult to compete for the championship; Shanghai Longteng's lineup is not weak, Zhang Rui, Sun Mingyang, Liu Weishan, He Zhuojia, Chen Yi, Yang Yiyun are all national team players.
In the women's team semifinals that have ended, Shandong Luneng team defeated Shanghai Longteng 3-1; Shenzhen University eliminated Shanghai East China University of Science and Technology 3-1, so far this year's table tennis super league women's team final is still Shandong Luneng vs. Shenzhen University, this final will be held at 15:00 on December 24, Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, is bound to attract the attention of many fans!
In fact, in the semifinals of the women's team, the game was very exciting, Shandong Luneng and Shenzhen University each lost one point, respectively from Chen Xingtong and Chen Meng, the former lost 1-3 to Chen Yi, and the latter lost to Li Yake 0-3.
As we all know, some time ago, Chen Xingtong was under a certain amount of public pressure, mainly because during the WTT Women's Finals, Chen Xingtong brought his mobile phone to the arena and flipped through it during the pause.
Later, Chen Xingtong publicly explained this, and when he picked up his mobile phone, he watched the technical points and precautions recorded in the mobile phone before the game, and it can be said that such an explanation was not recognized by all fans, but it became more and more black, and it can only be said that such behavior is indeed cheating.
However, so far, judging from the information that has been made public, Chen Xingtong has not been punished in any form. The fact that the Table Tennis Super League can participate as scheduled shows that the national table tennis team did not give Chen Xingtong a ban on the punishment.
In the third set of the semifinals of the Table Tennis Super League, Chen Xingtong faced Chen Yi, who was 7 years younger than herself, and she finally lost 1-3 with the advantage of overall strength.
Another upset was the national table tennis Olympic champion Chen Meng's 0-3 defeat to Li Yake, who was 8 years younger than him.
Lost 9-11 in the first game, and in the second game, Chen Meng once got 6 game point opportunities at 10-4, and was finally reversed by Li Yake 13-11.
In the third game, Li Yake's explosive score won full applause, and Chen Meng also gave Li Yake applause for this ball, I have to say that Chen Meng's behavior shows his atmospheric demeanor.
In the end, Li Yake won the third game 11-6, thus sweeping Chen Meng with a big score of 3-0, such a result may surprise many fans, but after knowing Li Yake, it is not unexpected that she can defeat Chen Meng.
First of all, Li Yake's current head coach in the national team is Qiu Yike, and he usually practices with Sun Yingsha.
In fact, in the WTT Nigeria Regular Challenge held in mid-June this year, Li Yake had an amazing performance. Li Yake, who did not have a world ranking at the time, got the opportunity to participate, and she started from the qualifying round and won seven consecutive matches in the women's singles to reach the final.
In the course of the competition, they eliminated the second seed of the women's singles of the tournament, Egypt's Meshef, and the fifth seed, Slovakia's Balazova and teammate Wang Xiaotong, although they lost to South Korea's Shin Yubin in the final, but the runner-up result was good enough for Li Yake.
Li Yake's latest world ranking is 43rd, which is a new high in his career, although Li Yake is currently 21 years old, such an age is not a young player, but the excellent performance in 2023 will definitely make Li Yake gain great confidence.
I hope that the non-main players of G people can make great progress in the upcoming 204 years, contribute their own strength to the team at the end of the year, and cheer for them!
