On January 4, Beijing time, the Doha year-end finals of the WTT, the most important battle of Chinese national table tennis came. Wang Chuqin vs. Zhang Benzhihe, as the only seedling of national table tennis in the second half of the region, this game is also the most important battle for Liu Guoliang, Wang Hao and the coaching staff.
On the one hand, Zhang Benzhihe is the potential opponent of the big head in the singles event of the Olympic Games, on the other hand, it is also a more important point that there are no Chinese players in the second half of the region, with Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong being eliminated at the same time, Liu Guoliang has clearly given before the start of the competition, his set goal is that this competition must win the championship and runner-up, if Wang Chuqin loses, at least the runner-up will definitely have nothing to do with national table tennis, and it is likely that the championship will not matter.
In recent years, Zhang Benzhihe has made really rapid progress, and he and Wang Chuqin can also be said to be each other's biggest enemies on the road to dominating the Olympics and achieving Grand Slam in the future. Sure enough, the first game on both sides played very, very intensely, Wang Chuqin took the lead, but Zhang Benzhihe counterattacked and reversed, 10:9 to win the game point, and Wang Chuqin made a mistake in the free throw at the critical moment. But in the case of his own service error, he still made a very bold choice to serve and attack again, and won 3 points in a row to win 12:10.
In the first game, it was so intense, I could feel that both sides were very good at studying the opponent, and there was not much difference in strength, and in the second game, Zhang Benzhihe took the lead again, and was chased by Wang Chuqin to 8:8 after the draw and chose to call a timeout, this timeout was the turning point of the whole game.
Because what made Zhang Benzhi and desperate was that his pause was for Wang Chuqin. A pause called out, but it made Wang Chuqin's mind calm down, and he completely thought about how he was going to fight next. He hit backhand cross-and-roll and twist pulls in a row to win the match 11-8. Later, during the pause, Wang Hao smiled directly at Wang Chuqin, and he also knew that Zhang Benzhi and this pause were useless.
After the first two games, in fact, we knew that Zhang Benzhihe couldn't win this game, why? Because Zhang Benzhihe's mentality has exploded. The key ball is tough and daring to shoot, Zhang Benzhi is far from Wang Chuqin, he doesn't dare to play at all, it's not that he has no ability, but he is already panicked if he doesn't play.
In the past, Zhang Benzhihe was the main force that could win the national table tennis, but in fact, he dared to fight and fight. But now his momentum has been suppressed by Wang Chuqin firstly, and secondly, his tactics are not ready. The same is true in the 3rd game, Wang Chuqin has been dominant from the beginning, playing from 6:38:5 to 10:6, especially a ball at the game point, which directly beat Zhang Benzhihe to the ground It is too late to reminisce.
In the end, in the last game, Wang Chuqin blasted Zhang Benzhihe 11:6, eliminated the opposite side 3-0, and then Zhang Benzhihe couldn't laugh anymore when he came over to shake hands with Wang Hao, put away his arrogance, took the initiative to bend down and bow, and was finally convinced by Wang Chuqin.
