[Preface]
Yesterday, December 22, the 23-year "Chinese Table Tennis Super League" began, and this competition can be said to be full of highlights, with many world champions participating.
Among them, Wang Manyu, Chen Xing and others also just ended the "WTT Finals" in Nagoya not long ago, and now in such a short time, compared to the state of the players, many people are concerned.
Interestingly, since the start of the competition yesterday, there have been many upsets in the game, and Chen Meng, who is the world champion, has been "shaved head" by the youngster.
Next, let's take a look at what are the surprising things in this "Table Tennis Super League", and why did Chen Meng lose to the youngster?
[Chen Meng's upset loss]
Last night, the table tennis Super League broke out a big upset, as an Olympic champion, Chen Meng was swept 0-3 by the opponent in the semifinals of the women's team and the 21-year-old Li Yake.
This defeat directly became a big upset of the day, and Chen Meng's strength in national table tennis is naturally needless to say, he is the top combat force in the domestic table tennis world.
What's more interesting is that Sun Yingsha also helped out outside the court in this game, making a cameo appearance as a game coach, but this also failed to turn Chen Meng around.
It is not difficult to find from the live broadcast that Chen Meng's state is not good, and he fell into a relatively passive situation at the beginning of the game, losing to his opponent with a score of 9-11 in the first game.
Compared with Chen Meng, the opponent Li Yake's competitive state was more aggressive, and Chen Meng was forced into a desperate situation many times in the first game.
In the second game, Chen Meng obviously improved, and once occupied the initiative after the start, he thought that the score would be equalized, but he didn't expect to start a reversal in the second half.
In the second game, Chen Meng was very active from the beginning, and gradually became more and more cautious, and also showed many flaws to the opponent, and the opponent also seized the opportunity, and finally won the second game with a slight lead of 2 points.
It may be that the loss of points in two consecutive games made Chen Meng's mentality a little unstable, and in the third game, the scene was even more mired, Chen Meng was taken the initiative by the opponent from the beginning, and finally lost completely with a score of 6-11.
This result was shocking after watching the game, and it also made many fans and friends have a new understanding of Li Yake, a new star.
Of course, the Shenzhen University team represented by Chen Meng and the East China University of Science and Technology team represented by Li Yake won 3-1 in the final overall result.
In the whole game, Sun Yingsha scored 2 points, and in the doubles duel in the first set, Chen Meng and teammate Kuo Man also had 0 opponents, that is to say, except for Chen Meng's upset in that set, Shenzhen University won the opponent with a crushing attitude.
When interviewed after the game, the reporter also asked Chen Meng about the reason for the upset, and Chen Meng's answer to this matter was very embarrassing.
[Chen Meng responds to the reason for the loss]
In the face of reporters' questions, Chen Meng summarized the reason for her miss, according to her explanation, mainly because in the second game, she did not pause in time when she was leading.
At the same time, Chen Meng felt that the result of this game was very normal, and the fight shown by his opponent Li Yake was very exciting, almost from beginning to end.
In other words, Chen Meng recognizes the opponent's results very much, and this loss is not an upset, but the opponent's strength is indeed online, and this explanation is inevitably a bit far-fetched.
Chen Meng's teammates in the national table tennis, including Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and others, can be said to be good at "fighting", and Chen Meng will basically not be beaten so badly when facing these people.
I think Chen Meng herself knows that her explanation is a bit too far-fetched, so she couldn't help laughing in the interview, in my opinion, the reason for this upset is not complicated.
To put it bluntly, Chen Meng's loss was caused by his contempt for his opponent, and there were also reasons for the decline in strength, including many fans saying that Chen Meng had a problem with slow heating.
may also be one of the reasons for her poor results, on the other hand, Chen Meng before, if she lost a game first, she would still be able to recover the score in the follow-up.
But now Chen Meng's state has made fans lose a lot of confidence in her, Chen Meng also lost to Samara and Szokos in an upset, and now she lost to the domestic teenager Li Yake, I don't know where her bottom line is.
So who is this Li Yake, who has suddenly attracted a lot of attention?
[Li Yake's clean sheet Olympic champion rises strongly]
With Li Yake's upset and clean sheet against Chen Meng, her evaluation has risen all the way, and the interesting thing is that Li Yake has a good relationship with Sun Yingsha, who is now known as the demon king of the table tennis world, in private.
Some time ago, Li Yake's identity was Sun Yingsha's sparring partner, so everyone must be able to understand that if he can be the world's No. 1 sparring partner, then Li Yake's strength is naturally beyond doubt.
In Sun Yingsha's body, Li Yake also learned a lot through the "competition" during that time, and naturally her ball skills are becoming more and more outstanding.
This time, after Chen Meng lost the game, he gave applause to his opponent on the spot, proving that Chen Meng still recognized Li Yake's strength very much.
This little girl born in 02 is only 21 years old this year, and she can be called a new generation of powerful players in the table tennis world.
However, her progress is still very rapid, and under the special arrangement of the national table tennis coaching staff, Li Yake participated in the WTT regular challenge in June this year.
In that challenger, Li Yake's performance was very eye-catching, and she went all the way to the final in the women's singles competition, facing off against South Korea's main Shin Yubin.
In the end, Shen Yubin won the game with a 2-point advantage, but the fans who watched the game at that time also recognized Li Yake's performance.
It was that final that exposed her lack of experience, and there is always some instability in her mentality at critical times, which needs more training to improve.
This time, winning Chen Meng again was another rare experience for Li Yake, and she had some more expectations for her future performance.
Especially for national table tennis, the emergence of more potential newcomers must be a situation that we like to see, and the cultivation of newcomers is an indispensable part of any sports event.
However, Li Yake's upset was not the first in this table tennis Super League, and Chen Xingtong also gave fans a "big gift" before her.
[Table tennis Super League upsets one after another]
Also yesterday's women's team semifinals, in the duel between Shandong Luneng and Shanghai Longteng, there was also a huge upset, and Chen Xingtong ushered in an unexpected defeat.
In terms of the composition of the lineup, Shandong obviously has more advantages, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Qian Tianyi are all top players in the world.
On the other hand, Longteng's side is a little thin, and the number one on the row is Zhang Rui, but compared with the main force of national table tennis, Zhang Rui's victory is still a little insufficient.
In the first doubles matchup, the combination of Qian Tianyi and Chen Xingtong faced Chen Yi and Sun Mingyang, and after three rounds of competition, Qian Tianyi and Chen Xingtong easily swept their opponents 3-0.
In the singles match of the second game, Wang Manyu faced Zhang Rui head-on, and the two went through a total of five rounds of duels, which once dragged the suspense of the game to the decisive game.
In the first round of the competition, Wang Manyu was completely in control of the situation and won a point with a huge advantage of 11-5, but in the second game, Wang Manyu was counterattacked by Zhang Rui, and the two equalized the score.
Then Zhang Rui won the third round of the game by virtue of the state of the last game, but in the fourth game, Wang Manyu made timely adjustments and directly crushed the score to level the score again.
After that, Wang Manyu continued to exert his strength in the fifth round, once again with a huge lead of 8 points, refusing to counterattack to win this game, and the people watching were terrified.
I thought that Zhang Rui's performance was extraordinary enough, but I didn't expect that in the third game, it was the biggest upset in this team competition.
At that time, Chen Xingtong's opponent was the 19-year-old Chen Yi, and there was an obvious gap in strength between Chen Xingtong as the main force of national table tennis.
But after the start of the game, Chen Yi refreshed everyone's understanding of her, first overtook 5 points in the first round to complete the reversal, and after losing the second round, he won two games in a row and won Chen Xingtong directly.
The performance of Chen Yi and Li Yake brought full highlights to the table tennis Super League, and also let fans and friends see the future of table tennis.
At present, the table tennis league is still continuing, and the follow-up schedule is also full of highlights, and in today's table tennis league, the duel between Ma Long and Fan Zhendong will also be the focus of the game.
【Seven World Champions Gather in the Table Tennis Super League】
In the schedule announced by the Table Tennis Super League today, it is known that 7 world champions will appear, and the representative figures of table tennis Ma Long and Fan Zhendong will also usher in a head-to-head competition.
The strength of these two people has always been relatively close, so there is still some uncertainty about who will win this time, and I think the match between the two will definitely be a fierce competition.
After all, the Table Tennis Super League is one of the highest level events in China, and the strength of the players is undoubted, and many outstanding newcomers can also be found during the period.
This is also a blessing for the fans, and the fans and friends must be very happy to see the wonderful matchup.
【Conclusion】
Now the domestic table tennis world can be described as a newcomer, which is undoubtedly a very good situation for the development of the domestic table tennis industry.
If there are not enough newcomers to relay, then the development of table tennis will also usher in a stagnation, no matter what kind of sporting event, the importance of fresh blood, compared to everyone is very recognized.
I also hope that there will be more and more newcomers like Chen Yi and Li Yake, who will become the main players in the national table tennis and continue the glory of the national table tennis.
