The just-concluded quarter-finals of the WTT Doha Men's Finals is like a wonderful peak showdown, a billiards feast full of highlights. When Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, and Liang Jingkun, the three main players of national table tennis, appeared and fought on the table like a wolf, you knew that this was not just an ordinary game, but a contest to determine who could dominate the last battle of the season.
Fan Zhendong, a well-deserved "lone ranger" in national table tennis, is like entering a no-man's land as soon as he enters the court. Facing Aruna, a player from the foreign association, Fan Zhendong won easily, directly swept the opponent 3-0, and won the semi-finals without mercy. Do you think this guy has refreshed the definition of "all the way north"?
Wang Chuqin broke into the top four with a stronger attitude. Against Zhang Benzhihe, Wang Chuqin showed the strength of the young generation of Chinese table tennis and easily won 3-0, which is simply impressive: youth is undefeated!
Unfortunately, some people have not been able to do so. Liang Jingkun unexpectedly lost 2-3 in the match against the German good player Qiu Dang and failed to enter the semifinals. This thrilling duel can be described as a sweat, and it also adds a touch of suspense to the Chinese table tennis world.
But what is even more striking is the scene of the civil war in national table tennis. The contest between Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan is simply exciting. It's not just a competition, it's a duel of honor and experience. Ma Long, who is already a legend in the table tennis world, a two-time Olympic double champion, is still fighting the court in the Paris cycle, which is really rare. In the face of this table tennis boss, Lin Gaoyuan's victory should not be underestimated.
In the first game, Lin Gao was unstoppable and swept Ma Long 11-5, which was like playing hide and seek with a tiger. But this tiger is not easy to deal with, in the second game, Ma Long raised his arms and shouted, 11-5 to catch up. The contest on the field was like a war, with the two armies facing each other, and the victory and defeat were inseparable.
However, in the third game, Lin Gaoyuan showed a more stable performance, 11-9 and the next game. But the veteran Malone did not show weakness, and quickly pulled back a game with an 11-9 victory in the fourth game. At this time, the situation is like a narrow road on the edge of a cliff, and the two sides are in a stalemate.
Perhaps because the game reached the fifth game, Ma Long's physical fitness was tested again. And Lin Gaoyuan is like a young beast, with strong combat effectiveness. This game is simply a copy of the first game, Lin Gaoyuan's offensive firepower is full of firepower, and the score is frozen 11-5. defeated Ma Long, successfully advanced to the semi-finals, and also announced the feat of climbing over the huge mountain range of Ma Long.
At this time, I couldn't help but sigh: Ma Long, although he has become famous, do you want to give some opportunities to the younger generation? However, it is precisely because of such a wonderful civil war that the history of table tennis has added a thick ink.
It is undeniable that Ma Long's persistence and fighting spirit are worthy of respect. He is already a legend in the table tennis world, but he is still fighting the court to maintain his dominance for the national table tennis. Maybe he won't be involved anymore in Paris, but it might be a wise choice to leave a chance for young players.
However, Lin Gaoyuan's victory this time is not only a personal honor, but also a win for more team places for the Chinese table tennis world. On the stage of the Paris Olympics, let's wait and see whether Lin Gaoyuan will continue to play well.
And in the semi-finals and finals, can we see a more fierce duel? The men's doubles competition and individual competition will become the focus of fans' attention. At 18 o'clock, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin will join hands to face Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong in the men's doubles match, and this civil war will also become a highlight of the finals. And at the moment of the final, we will witness the emergence of the strongest in Chinese table tennis.
Chinese table tennis has always been the mainstay of world table tennis, and it is undeniable that the strength of domestic players has always been a symbol of table tennis hegemony. However, just as the rise of hard power brings glory, there are also some subtle problems, one of which may be the lack of more diversified competition in international table tennis. The WTT Doha Men's Finals has become a node worth pondering.
The shining performance of Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun is undoubtedly the pride of the Chinese table tennis world, and their victory in the quarterfinals is not only an affirmation of personal strength, but also a strong voice of the Chinese table tennis world in the international arena. However, just as the strength of Chinese table tennis has always been the focus of attention from the outside world, other outstanding players in the international table tennis world do not seem to have received enough attention and opportunities. This point may also be worth thinking about.
The civil war between Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan became a highlight of this game. Ma Long, a legend in the table tennis world, is admirable for his persistence and hard work. However, in this competition, Lin Gaoyuan's victory presented a vivid picture of the change of the old and the new in the table tennis world. Does the rise of the younger generation mean that China's table tennis world will usher in a change? Or is this the beginning of the change of the ladder of table tennis?
The fierce battle in the game is not only a contest of ball skills, but also a dialogue between experience and youth. Lin Gaoyuan's outstanding performance in the fifth game showed the vitality and determination of the younger generation of players. And Ma Long, although he was still honored, he also inherited a kind of sportsmanship of hard work in the struggle. This civil war is not only a competition of skills, but also a contest of time, a collision of historical inheritance and new forces.
As Ma Long's years go by, whether he can continue to win glory for national table tennis also makes fans think a lot. His persistence is admirable, but in the face of the rise of the new generation of players, should we also leave more stages for younger forces? This may be a major proposition for the future of Chinese table tennis.
While the audience is looking forward to the men's singles semifinals and finals, they can't help but think: Does the hegemony of China's table tennis also make the whole table tennis arena too single and boring? Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that we need a more diverse and balanced table tennis arena.
Looking back on history, China's table tennis has always been the leader of world table tennis, which is understandable, but is it also because of the blind emphasis on advantages, so that table tennis players from other countries lack the opportunity to show their strength? Can more countries and more players stand on the international stage, inject more fresh blood into the entire table tennis world, and make the competitive environment more colorful?
Perhaps we need more international and diversified exchanges, so that outstanding players from Chinese table tennis and other countries have more opportunities to collide with sparks. This will not only help improve the competitive level of Chinese players, but also inject more vitality into the table tennis world. Let all the heroes collide fiercely on the field, and present a more exciting table tennis feast for fans around the world.
Of course, this is not the intention of questioning the strength of China's table tennis world, but hoping to better promote the development of the entire table tennis world. After all, table tennis, as a sports event with great global influence, should be a diversified and open stage, rather than a single closed garden.
Perhaps in the near future, we will be able to see more outstanding players from all over the world, bringing more surprises and variables to the table tennis world. Just as the WTT Doha Men's Finals has provoked, table tennis may be ushering in a new era. Whether it is the strength of China's table tennis or the rise of other countries, it will contribute to the development of table tennis and present a more exciting picture of the game for fans. I look forward to seeing more exchanges and collisions in this arena where there are many heroes, bringing us a more colorful world of table tennis.
