Today, "Celebrity Taste" leads everyone to relive the passionate years of the 46th World Table Tennis Championships.
From April 23 to May 6, 2001, the 46th World Table Tennis Championships was held in Osaka, Japan, and the national table tennis team won all 7 championships. Among them, the men's team's championship process was thrilling, and its intensity was recorded in history.
At that time, the head coach of the national table tennis team was Cai Zhenhua, the deputy head coach was Lu Yuansheng, the head of the delegation was Li Furong, deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports, and the deputy head was Liu Fengyan, director of the table tennis management center.
The lineup of the national table tennis men's team participating in the team competition is: Kong Linghui, Liu Guoliang, Liu Guozheng, Wang Liqin, Ma Lin.
(Kong Linghui and Wang Hao)
On April 28, the national table tennis men's team competed with the South Korean team for the right to the final. The national table tennis men's team defeated the German team 4-1 to reach the semifinals. The South Korean team is the old rival of the national table tennis team, and the coaching staff attaches great importance to this semi-final.
At the preparatory meeting, Li Furong and Liu Fengyan both attended. In the arrangement, the coaching staff first considered Kong Linghui and Ma Lin, Kong Linghui is the first main force, and he is sure to score 1 point against Kim Zezhu and Wu Shangyin.
Ma Lin played the third singles and scored 1 point against Yoo Seungmin.
The second singles was screened between Wang Liqin and Liu Guozheng. Everyone felt that Liu Guozheng's psychological quality was stable, and finally chose Liu Guozheng, who was sure to score 1 point for Wu Shangyin and Kim Zezhu.

Before the start of the semi-finals, the results of the other semi-final came out, and the Swedish team unexpectedly lost 1-3 to the Belgian team, causing a big upset.
Li Furong called Cai Zhenhua aside and advised: You must not be careless, and you must be fully prepared for difficulties. Cai Zhenhua immediately gathered the team members together and asked them to attach great importance to their thoughts.
After the semifinals, Liu Guozheng took the lead and defeated Wu Shangyin 21-12, 21-18 to score one point for Team G.
In the second set, Kong Linghui faced South Korean star Kim Taek-so.
(Kim Taek-so)
Kim Taek-so was born in May 1970 and is 1.75 meters tall. He started playing at the age of 7, holding the racket straight in his right hand, with strong forehand attacking power, strong spin, and good physical fitness, and was known as the "world's No. 1 straight board".
At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Kim Taek-so eliminated the favorite Kong Linghui. In this game with Kim Taek-so, Kong Linghui is at a disadvantage.
Sure enough, in the face of Kim Taek-so's ferocious attack, Kong Linghui's technical expertise was suppressed, and he lost two games in a row 16-21 and 17-21.
In the first two sets, the G men's team and Han drew 1-1 with a big score.

In the third set, Ma Lin played against Yoo Seungmin, and both of them were straight and fast-breaking. But Ma Lin can play straight and horizontally, and her skills are more comprehensive than Yoo Seungmin. Ma Lin defeated Liu Chengmin 21-12, 21-19 and scored 1 point for the national table tennis men's team.
In the fourth set, Kong Linghui faced Wu Shangyin and lost again 24-26, 18-21. The score between the two sides turned into a 2-2 draw.
Kong Linghui, as the No. 1 singles, really shouldn't lose two points in a row.

In the fifth set of the tiebreaker, Yoo Kook-jeong played Kim Taek-so. Everyone thinks that this is a ball without suspense, that is, Liu Guozheng will lose 0-2, and the national table tennis men's team will lose the right to the final.
(Liu Guozheng)
The South Korean team has always wanted to beat the national table tennis men's team and thought it was a great opportunity. Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Kim Taek-so was determined to win the first game 21-16.
The media reporters waiting at the scene have written their scripts: the national table tennis men's team lost to the South Korean team and was squeezed out of the final. As soon as the contest is over, it will be released.
In the second game, Liu Guozheng was still in a beaten situation and fell behind 3-8. Cai Zhenhua decisively called a timeout and arranged tactics for Liu Guozheng: fight fiercely, and dare to tear a straight line in defense.
After Liu Guozheng adjusted his tactics, the situation improved and he overtook 17-13. After Kim Taek-so got the serve, he chased the score to 17-18.
(Kim Taek-so)
Immediately after Yoo Guozheng fell behind 19-20, Kim Taek-so got the match point.
Cai Zhenhua's heart was in his throat, and blood poured up on his head. Immediately afterwards, Liu Guozheng chased 20-21 and 21-22. In the end, they won the second game 24-22.
In the third game of life and death, Liu Guozheng kept lagging behind. When he trailed 15-19 and Kim Taek-so got serve again, everyone thought Yoo would lose.
But Liu Guozheng did not panic and chased the score with difficulty, from 15-19 to 18-19 and 19-20.
Kim Taek-so wants to win and is afraid of losing, and the psychological pressure is huge. When Liu Guozheng chased 19-20, he panicked.
("Turning the tide of the tide and helping the building will fall")
After the thrilling tug-of-war, Liu Guozheng won the third game 25-23, thus defeating Kim Ze-so 2-1 and helping the national table tennis men's team to reach the final.
It was an incredible game that left an unforgettable impression on the fans.
In an interview after the game, Cai Zhenhua was full of emotion: This ball is the most intense and tragic scene in the 11 years I have been coaching, and it can be said that it is a game of life and death.
Liu Guozheng was the biggest contributor to the national table tennis team's eventual victory, and the media and fans called him an "anti-Korean hero".
(Liu Guozheng)
Many girls like Liu Guozheng, and the popular phrase "marry Liu Guozheng if you marry" appeared on the Internet.
How did Liu Guo embark on the road of table tennis, and what ups and downs and hardships did he have in sports and love?
Liu Guozheng was born on March 7, 1980 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, he is 1.68 meters tall and weighs 67 kilograms. Liu Guozheng holds the racket horizontally with his right hand, reversing glue on both sides, and combining the arc with the fast attack play.
His technical characteristics are: good serve, outstanding skills in the first three boards, strong holding ability, excellent psychological quality, the more he dares to play, and he is a typical competition-type player.
(Liu Guozheng and his father)
Liu Guozheng's father, Liu Bangyun, was a high school graduate of the class of '71 and loved table tennis when he was young. Liu Bangyun worked in the countryside for two years, and was later admitted to Wuhan Health School, and after graduation, he was assigned to Wuhan First Hospital as a masseur.
Liu Guozheng's mother, Xue Lamei, worked at a military enterprise in Wuhan.
When Liu Guozheng was a child, his mother often took him to the unit to play, and when he saw adults playing table tennis, he ran around to pick up balls for adults. After a while, Liu Guozheng was holding a racket to play, and his mother grabbed his racket and cried.
Liu Bangyun felt that his son had a talent for table tennis and began to find a teacher for his son. Under the introduction of colleagues in the hospital, Liu Bangyun found Coach Yu Zhiguo of Wuhan Amateur Sports School.
(Liu Guozheng)
When Liu Bangyun took his son to meet Yu Zhiguo, the other party didn't want to accept it. The reason is that Liu Guozheng is short and thin, timidly tugging at his father's trouser leg, and looking at Yu Zhiguo with round eyes.
Yu Zhiguo took out a pair of rackets and let Liu Guozheng's eyes chase the racket. Yu Zhiguo kept turning the racket in his hand, and Liu Guozheng's eyes never left the racket.
Yu Zhiguo saw that Liu Guozheng reacted quickly and made an exception to accept him.

Liu Bangyun is rigorous, since his son practices table tennis, he has to make a name for himself. In amateur sports schools, there are few coaches and many children, and many young students do not have high-skilled sparring partners, and some parents have good economic conditions, so they fund their children to hire sparring partners.
In order to save this money, Liu Bangyun decided to accompany his son to practice.
(Liu Guozheng's mother)
Liu Bangyun's previous unit was in Hankou, and his family lived in Wuchang, which was far apart. Two months after his son learned to play at the sports school, Liu Bangyun was transferred to Wuhan No. 3 Hospital in Wuchang after repeated travel.
The sports school's table tennis table is limited, and Liu Bangyun gets up at 5 o'clock in the morning every day, and then takes his son to the sports school to practice on a bicycle.
The winter in Wuhan was wet and cold, and when Liu Bangyun woke up his son in the early morning, Liu Guozheng opened his sleepy eyes and begged: Dad, let me sleep for another 10 minutes? Liu Bangyun disagreed, and Liu Guozheng begged again: Would you like to sleep for another minute?
Liu Bangyun rudely lifted his son's quilt, and Liu Guozheng sat up, shedding tears while getting dressed.
(Liu Guozheng)
At half past seven in the morning, when other children and sparring partners came to the sports school to practice, Liu Bangyun and his son had finished practicing a basket of table tennis.
In summer, Wuhan is one of the four major furnaces in the country, and the indoor temperature is as high as more than 30 degrees.
His son was so thirsty that he couldn't stand it, so Liu Bangyun cut a piece of watermelon for his son to eat, but he was reluctant to eat it.
Liu Bangyun and his wife's salaries are not high, but it costs all kinds of money to train their son to practice. In order to have an extra income, after practicing with his son every day, he went to the patient's home to give him a massage to earn some hard-earned money.
In 1990, 10-year-old Liu Guozheng participated in the 8th Games of Hubei Province and won the second place in the men's singles of the children's table tennis group.

In August 1991, Liu Guozheng won the first place in the National Children's Amateur Sports School Trial.
In 1992, Liu Guozheng represented the Chinese youth team in the first East Asian Youth Games and won the second place in men's singles.
In 1993, Liu Guozheng entered the table tennis team of Shantou City, Guangdong Province, and played with Ma Lin, Tan Ruiwu and others. The reason why Liu Guozheng chose to go to Shantou to play instead of joining the Wuhan table tennis team is because the Shantou table tennis team has good treatment and all kinds of expenses are included.
It was only at this time that Liu Bangyun no longer massaged people part-time.

Although his left knee has recovered, Liu Guozheng is no longer suitable for heavy exercise training, and his position in the team is gradually marginalized.
