In Busan, South Korea, the Chinese women's table tennis team won the Babylon Cup for the 23rd time.

When Chen Meng, who was the last to play, led Zhang Benmei and got the match point 10-7 in the fourth game, the camera in front of him cut to the Corbillon Cup for the first time, giving a big close-up - the cup reflected the table tennis table not far away and the two Chinese and Japanese players who were facing off.

As the women's singles champion of the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Meng withstood the pressure and did not give Zhang Benmei any chance. The moment she won the match, she roared loudly and smiled at the Chinese audience in the audience.

In this twist-and-turn night, she lost to "Japan's first sister" Hina Hayada for the first time, and teammate Wang Yidi lost to Miu Hirano. In the final game, facing the young Zhang Benmeihe, Chen Meng knew what victory and defeat meant and what the results were.

On the field, she is a mature veteran, she is a fighter who has experienced countless big scenes, and resisted such pressure, but after the game, when everything has settled, Chen Meng, who turned the tide, cried.

Sun Yingsha also cried. It was as if it was the first time she had cried in front of the camera. Tokyo didn't cry when he missed the Olympic championship, he didn't cry after so many tough battles, the world's No. 1 killing was decisive, and after two clean sheets and two consecutive defeats of Japan's No. 1 Hina Hayada and Japan's No. 2 Miwa Zhangmoto, he cried after scoring two points.

Former national player Mizutani Hayabusa and Japanese fans did not hesitate to praise Sun Yingsha on social platforms, "Strong, it's too strong", "Can crush Hina Hayada to such a point", "She's a monster", "She seems to have a side that no one has reached, and she can't see the bottom......

But at the same time, from these comments, such as "only Sun Yingsha can't do it", "she can get 2 wins alone", we can also find an objective fact - in less than half a year before the Paris Olympics, the advantage of women's table tennis over the biggest opponent Japan has become smaller and smaller.

Indeed, this championship was not easy.

When Sun Yingsha made a good start for women's table tennis without blood, the plot didn't seem to go as we envisioned. Chen Meng lost to Hina Hayada for the first time, and Wang Yidi took the lead in getting the game point twice, but was swept by Miyu Hirano...... The women's table tennis won first and then lost, but fell behind with a score of 1-2.

Fortunately, we have Sun Yingsha. Facing Hina Hayata, Sun Yingsha fell behind 0-2 in the first game, and then played a wave to win the first game 11-0.

It's good to win the game during the Lantern Festival, but one thing that the division of kings must see is that perhaps in addition to our ace Sun Yingsha, women's table tennis is already in crisis.

After Chen Meng lost to Hina Hayada for the first time, she broke through her psychological fear, and her opponent already had the confidence to win her again; in the face of Zhang Benmeiwa, Chen Meng did not have an advantage in some technical and tactical links, but won in experience and psychology; in addition, if the third singles candidate was Wang Yidi, now for Ma Lin, should Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong also consider it? If Wang Manyu came to fight Miyu Hirano, would the result be different?

Some fans said that this seems to be the biggest crisis encountered by Chinese women's table tennis after the 2010 Moscow World Table Tennis Championships. The difference is that we lost that year, and we won this year.

That year, he lost to Singapore and missed the ninth consecutive championship.

The female table tennis girls, including Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen, have encountered all kinds of verbal criticism.

But obviously, the table tennis team is a whole, and it would be biased to attribute the problem only to the athletes who gave their all on the court. If we want to truly become an invincible army and a winning army, we should always maintain a "sense of crisis", instead of lying on the merit book and counting the glory.

This night, Sun Yingsha cried, she said, "We did our best, and we were moved by ourselves." Chen Meng cried, she said, "I was really nervous, but I also really felt the strength of the team." "It's good, it's touching. But as fans, we want to see that after such a big war experience, women's table tennis ushered in a real transformation.

Stepping off the podium, everything starts from scratch. With her dreams of Busan and her ambitions in Paris, women's table tennis obviously has more to do.
