The Japanese Table Tennis League is underway, and the Nippon Life Club led by Hina Hayada lost 2-3 to the Japan Paint Club and suffered its first defeat in the league. In the first set of the doubles match, Chinese table tennis player Sun Yizhen and partner Asuka Sasao defeated the Japanese paint club's Satsuki Oto/Shibata Saki combination 2-0, and won both games by key points.
Mamoru Mori Sakura of Japan Life Club lost 1-3 to Satsuki Oto in the second set, and after winning the first game 11-6, Mamoru Mori Sakura lost three games in a row. Satsuki Oto can even beat Miu Hirano, who has been in the limelight in the Japanese Table Tennis League recently, and this player is rising faster and faster, although he has not rushed into the main layer of Japanese table tennis.
Hina Hayada defeated chipper Hashimoto Honoka 3-1 in the third set of singles, and Hina Hayada was still sure of chipping. However, Hina Hayada narrowly won 11-10 in the first and fourth games, and it seems that the game process is quite difficult. It may also have something to do with Hina Hayata's frequent international appearances, and her league form has been quite up and down.
In the singles match of the fourth set, Sakura Yokoi of Japan Paint Club narrowly defeated Natsuhoshi Akae of Japan Life Club 3-2 and successfully tied the overall score. Yokoi Sakura was chased by Akae Natsuhoku for two consecutive games when he took a big 2-0 lead, and finally won 12-10 in the deciding game, and both sides won the key points in the next three games.
Hina Hayada suffered her first defeat in the league in recent times after losing 11-13 to Sakura Yokoi in the fifth set. Sakura Yokoi played in the fourth and fifth sets in a row, showing a very high technical and tactical state, this player almost defeated Hina Hayada in this year's Japanese Table Tennis Trials, and was called the strongest high school player in Japanese table tennis by national table tennis fans.
Hina Hayada is mainly weak in adaptability and simply relies on playing strength balls, and Sakura Yokoi has an excellent fighting attack in the first three boards, and she defeated Misei Ito last year. Hina Hayada lost to Chen Meng in the finals, and she was always reversed when she had an advantage, but she was not strong in adaptability.
Although Chen Meng took the opportunity to change his jersey to change his game strategy, this showed more of Hina Hayata's dullness in playing. It is normal for Hina Hayada to lose in the league this time, and if she remains undefeated, it will mean that other Japanese table tennis players are not competitive.
In fact, not only did Hina Hayada suffer a defeat in the league, but her old partner Tomokazu Zhangmoto led the Ryukyu Club to lose 1-3 to Kanazawa Club, which was also a big upset. Ryukyu FC's Yoshimura Maharu/Kazuki Hamada defeated Liao Zhenting/Cheng Jingqi 2-0 in the first set to win both games 11-8.
Tomokazu Haramoto lost 2-3 in the second set to Kanazawa's Yutai Tanaka, who had beaten Wang Chuqin this year and was a very strong fighter. Tomokazu Zhang was 11-6 behind in this game, but tied the total score 11-6. However, in the decisive game, Yutai Tanaka won the key points 13-11, and the fight became more and more fierce.
This player belongs to that kind of state type, and when he sees that he has a chance in the tiebreaker, of course, he has to increase his fight. Tomokazu Zhang has done his best in this game, and Yutai Tanaka is in really good shape, no wonder the club will let him play against Tomokazu Zhangmoto. After the Kanazawa club tied the total score, Cheng Jingqi narrowly defeated Kazuki Hamada of the Ryukyu Club 3-2 in the third set, thus taking a big 2-1 lead.
Xu Chenhao, who played in the fourth set of the Ryukyu Club, lost 0-3 to Kenta Matsudaira, and it seems that Tomokazu Zhangmoto and other teammates were affected as soon as he lost. Yutai Tanaka did play a central role in the singles match and boosted the morale of the team. Although Tomokazu Zhang is the main player of Japanese table tennis, it does not mean that he is invincible in the league, which is in stark contrast to the performance of the main players of national table tennis in the league.
And the Kinoshita Kanagawa club led by Miu Hirano and Miwa Zhangmoto swept Kyushu Club 4-0 and won a big victory. Kinoshita's Miyu Nagasaki/Miyu Kihara defeated Koka Izusawa 2-0 in the first set of the doubles. In addition to winning the first game 11-10, the second game was easily won 11-6.
Miu Hirano swept Moe Nomura 3-0 in the second set of singles, narrowly won the first game 11-9, and won the next two games 11-6, reflecting a very good competitive state. Miyu Nagasaki swept Shin Yubin of Kyushu Club 3-0 in the third set, and won key points in all three games. Shin Yubin is actually one of the top 10 players in the world and has a certain strength.
However, she is powerless against these main Japanese table tennis players, and there is always a gap with her opponent in terms of adaptability and connection. In this way, the Kinoshita club took a 3-0 lead, and Zhang Benmei defeated Lee Seung-eun 3-0 in the fourth set, and won the three games cleanly. It seems that Zhang Benmeihe is still young and energetic, and there is no fatigue in participating in various competitions in a row.
The main reason is that the strength of the Kinoshita club is too prominent, and it is the only one in the Japanese league. Not only do they have the main players of Japanese table tennis, but also national table tennis players such as He Zhuojia and Zhang Rui have joined the Kinoshita Club, which further enhances the competitiveness of the Kinoshita Club. The strength of this club is not weaker than Shandong Luneng Club and Shenzhen University Club, and the champion club that has the opportunity to compete with the champion club of Japanese table tennis can compete with the champion club of Japanese table tennis.
The main players of the national table tennis aim to be undefeated in the league, and if the other players in the league can frequently defeat the main players of the national table tennis, it means that there are real successors.
