The women's team competition of the Table Tennis Super League came to an end, Shandong Luneng lost 2-3 to Shenzhen University and won the runner-up.
Objectively speaking, Wang Manyu performed quite well in the final, not only defeated the first sister of national table tennis Sun Yingsha, but also taught the young player Kuo Man a lesson in the fourth game between the two sides. But looking at the semi-finals and finals of the entire Table Tennis Super League, Wang Manyu is not the only player who performs well.
Taking the semifinals as an example, in the game where Shandong Luneng eliminated Shanghai Institute of Technology, although Wang Manyu won two games and scored two points, he defeated his national table tennis teammate Zhang Rui 3-2 in the first game, and defeated Sun Mingyang 3-1 in the fourth singles.
And Sun Yingsha's performance in the semifinals is really amazing. Sasha first defeated her number one rival Wang Yidi 3-0, making Dadi lose her temper, and then also defeated Zhao Shang 3-0 without losing a point.
In the final of this game, although Sun Yingsha lost to Wang Manyu in an upset, she also fought 5 rounds before losing to the "Eel", and in the crucial fifth game, Sasha played in person, defeated Fan Siqi 3-0, won the championship for the Shenzhen team, and locked the victory.
Judging from the performance of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, the two are almost comparable, I don't know why they didn't choose Sun Yingsha, but chose Wang Manyu as MVP?
I don't know what the MVP selection criteria are, but normally speaking, in any event, MVP players should be selected from the winning team, not from the losing team, maybe the organizing committee of the tournament in order to balance the relationship between the teams and take care of the enthusiasm, but this choice is still not convincing, and it is not as partially said, Wang Manyu deserves to win the award.
Wang Manyu is indeed very good, but judging from the performance of the two games in the semifinals and the finals, is it really deserved?
After the end of the table tennis Super League, the main players of the national table tennis will go to Doha in January 2024 to participate in the Star Challenge, including Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, including six female players of national table tennis, will go to the competition.
At that time, the battle for Olympic tickets for national table tennis will be white-hot, except for Sun Yingsha to lock the Olympic tickets, the other main players will not be able to make any mistakes in the next year's competition.
