There are only 3 "opponents" left in the national table tennis system, and the clearance rate is as high as 83.3%, and Zhang Benzhihe may become the biggest variable
In 2024, the world of table tennis will once again focus on the Chinese national team, and their advantages are astounding. Over the past few years, the Chinese national table tennis team has been an invincible presence, with few opponents able to match it. However, a recent statistic shows that the number of "opponents" of the Chinese men's table tennis team has been reduced to a staggering three, with a clearance rate of 83.3%. This data has sparked extensive discussion and thinking.
Table tennis, as one of the most popular sports in the world, once attracted many participants from all over the world.
However, as time goes on, more and more people choose to abandon the sport, and one of the big reasons is frustration with the insurmountable gap of the Chinese national team. In fact, the invincible image of the Chinese national table tennis team has become a "gap" in the hearts of table tennis enthusiasts.
In addition to Chinese Taipei's Lin Yunru and Japan's Mizutani Hayabusa, there is also a high-profile new star - Japanese table tennis player Tomokazu Zhangmoto. As a young player, his rise in the table tennis world has been incredible.
With his excellent ball skills and excellent tactical strategy, Tomokazu Zhang has successfully become the number one "nemesis" of the Chinese national team.
For the Chinese table tennis team, each person on this three-person "opponent" list represents a kind of challenge. Lin Yunru's style of play is extremely aggressive and varied, and for the Chinese players, they need to be prepared for all kinds of situations. Mizutani is known for his quick counter-attacks and powerful serves, which are difficult for the Chinese players to deal with. Tomokazu Zhangmoto, on the other hand, is the most troublesome opponent for the Chinese players, and his versatility and flexibility make him almost omnipotent on the court.
Thankfully, however, each and every one of the trio's "opponents" list has some inspiration for the rest of the country. They proved that the Chinese national table tennis team is not invincible, it just needs to work harder and smarter. As one member of the Chinese table tennis team said: "We need to learn more from these opponents and improve our strength and technical level." ”
This statistic also raises people's thoughts about the future development of table tennis. Table tennis, as a national sport, should provide more people with opportunities to participate in it.
The strength of the Chinese national table tennis team should not be an obstacle to the participation of players from other countries, but should be their motivation.
In fact, in this list of the trio's "opponents", the rise of Tomokazu Haramoto is the most encouraging. As a young player, he proved that young people can also make breakthroughs in the world of table tennis. This undoubtedly gives other young players more confidence and motivation to believe that they too can become the next Tomokazu Zhangmoto.
As the head coach of the Chinese national table tennis team said: "We welcome more national players to join the competition in table tennis, which will promote the further development of table tennis." ”
He also said that the Chinese national team will continue to work hard to improve its strength to maintain its leading position in the table tennis world.
For the majority of table tennis lovers, the appearance of this three-person list of "opponents" is a positive sign. It reminds people that no matter what the field, as long as they put in hard work and perseverance, they will be able to usher in opportunities and breakthroughs. Rather than being frustrated by the invincible image of the Chinese national table tennis team, it is better to see it as an incentive to constantly strive to improve one's strength.
Therefore, the reduction of the number of "opponents" of the Chinese national table tennis team to three is not a frustrating fact, but an opportunity to give players from other countries a chance and motivation.
