Some fans say that Chen Xingtong is the king of the civil war, which is actually an inappropriate evaluation. Chen Xingtong is indeed more difficult to fight against players with special playing styles, but didn't Sun Yingsha also lose foreign wars this year? This year, Wang Yidi lost consecutive foreign battles in the competition, not only lost to Hina Hayada at the World Table Tennis Championships, but also lost to the same opponent in the Asian Games as the host player.
But whether it is Wang Yidi or Sun Yingsha, the influence of losing foreign wars is far less than that of Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu. Obviously, this is the public opinion orientation of fans, many times it seems that fans want to forget the performance of Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha's foreign games, in fact, Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu have a very high winning rate against Japanese table tennis players.
The main reason is that these two players are more restrained in the style of play of Japanese table tennis players, and this year's Chen Xingtong was divided into the upper half of the Asian Championships at the same time as Sun Yingsha and Miyu Hirano. Chen Xingtong took the lead in defeating Miyu Hirano, which can be said to have made meritorious contributions to national table tennis. Miyu Hirano was more restrained in her style of play, but fortunately it was Chen Xingtong who met in advance.
Fans found that Chen Xingtong seemed to have an easy time against Miyu Hirano, and it was completely the speed of holding the ball to limit Hirano, which was the same method as the previous quick defeat of Wang Manyu. Compared with Chen Xingtong's speed, Miu Hirano's speed lacks the thickness of defense. Chen Xingtong just wants to fight the basic skills with the opponent, and the tactics are more simple and direct.
And Sun Yingsha likes to play rhythm control when playing with Miyu Hirano, Miyu Hirano's skills are more comprehensive, in addition to being weaker than the national table tennis players in basic skills, she has an advantage over Sun Yingsha in the first three boards. Sun Yingsha's serve is often directly attacked by Miyu Hirano, so Sun Yingsha wants to play rhythm control but is disrupted by the opponent, which is caused by the opponent's advanced technology.
In fact, Sun Yingsha's tactics against technologically advanced players don't have to be complicated, just open a long ball and fight each other. Sun Yingsha, no matter whether she fought against Wang Manyu or Miyu Hirano, complicated her tactics. Sun Yingsha did not have an advantage against these two players, because she was caught in a tactical competition with her opponent.
Usually competition tactics require technology to do the bottom-up, Wang Manyu and Miyu Hirano's return skills are quite advanced, and Sun Yingsha has a particularly big advantage in the service and extension link. Especially in the handling of key points, these two players generally directly receive the serve and attack, which is simpler than Sun Yingsha's tactics because they can score directly with their strength.
Chen Xingtong defeated Miu Hirano, and Sun Yingsha was the biggest help in the Asian Championships, otherwise it would have been Miu Hirano who reached the final. Chen Xingtong is not the king of the civil war, although she lost to Szokos this year, she won back in the second meeting, the main reason is that she has played too little with her competitors and is familiar with the opponent's first three board offensive routines.
Why did many fans ignore Chen Xingtong's help to Sun Yingsha? In the eyes of fans, she only helped Wang Yidi, which is a complete misunderstanding. Although Chen Xingtong is more conservative in his style of play, if he wants to gain a foothold in the highly competitive national table tennis, he must strengthen the serving and attacking tactics of the first three boards.
What kind of position does Chen Xingtong have in national table tennis? Some fans think that he is a spoiler. Because her performance against Wang Manyu is very good, Wang Manyu against Chen Xingtong will fall behind as long as she fights for speed. And the lack of change in her own serve is fundamentally due to insufficient pre-match preparation.
Chen Xingtong is to compete with Wang Manyu for the speed of holding the ball, and Wang Yidi is currently this game strategy. In fact, this is worth learning Xi from Sun Yingsha, whether it is Chen Xingtong or Wang Yidi, the game strategy against Wang Manyu is very good. Wang Manyu pays more attention to spin in the holding ball, because she is taller and still slow in terms of conversion speed.
Chen Xingtong is also very comfortable with Wang Manyu's rotation, which may also be the reason why the two sides usually train and fight each other more. Sun Yingsha vs. Wang Manyu likes to play tactics because this is her style. Sun Yingsha is indeed a player who pays attention to rhythm control and tactical changes among the main players, and plays very smart.
Sun Yingsha is not easily changed by the opponent, which is an advantage, and at the same time, it is also a shortcoming in the face of players with strong technical strength. If Sun Yingsha always maintains her advanced technology, she will have no problem playing rhythm control. But at present, the first three boards of the main players of Japanese table tennis have the greatest impact on Sun Yingsha, so this year, Sun Yingsha has shown difficulty no matter against Miu Hirano, Hina Hayada or Miwa Zhangmoto.
The reason why Sun Yingsha was able to sweep the opponent when she played Zhang Benmeihe for the first time was because she directly opened a long ball to form a near-stage attack. This is Sun Yingsha's best offensive rhythm, Zhang Benmeihe's own backhand strength is weaker, and the basic skills of playing each other are indeed not as good as Sun Yingsha. But in the second meeting, Sun Yingsha fell behind in the first three boards with her opponent, and did not adhere to the simple and direct tactics of the first time.
Chen Xingtong will not fall behind if he plays against Zhang Benmeihe, because Chen Xingtong's backhand ability to hold the ball is very good, as long as he hits the ball link, Zhang Benmeihe will be at a disadvantage. Zhang Benmeihe is a speed-type player, Chen Xingtong is still a speed-type player, and the two sides fight for speed, and Zhang Benmeihe does not have much upper hand.
Don't look at Zhang Benmeihe's threat to Sun Yingsha is quite high, and he may not have too much advantage against Chen Xingtong. Chen Xingtong is also a player who is good at playing against the main Japanese table tennis player, so there is no problem for this player to compete in the Olympic team competition. Chen Xingtong is also a member of the Olympic competition, and the fans' evaluation of this player should be objective.
