On the evening of April 16, Beijing time, in the second round of the women's singles group stage of the Macau Singles World Cup, the last player of national table tennis, Kuo Man, defeated the Australian Chinese veteran Hong Jianfang 4-0 in the eyes of the crowd and won the first World Cup singles victory in his career. This result sent Aunt Hong Jianfang straight out of the game and bid farewell to this station.
On April 17, in the final round of the World Cup group stage, Kuo Man will have a head-to-head dialogue with South Korean super master Tian Zhixi, and fight for the only right to qualify for this group.
Among the 12 main players of the national table tennis in this Macau World Cup, only Kuo Man had a bye on the first match day, which also made her the only seedling in the national table tennis competition on April 16, and the eyes of all Chinese fans were focused on her.
In the previous day's competition, the national table tennis women's team 5 golden flowers Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng and Chen Xingtong all won the first round of victories, saving a lot of money for the qualification; the national table tennis men's team 6 tigers Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Ma Long, Lin Shidong 4 people all played a 4-0 victory, qualifying in sight, Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan, the two mop brothers, unexpectedly both played 2-2 embarrassing results, the qualifying situation is more difficult.
Kuo Man is the youngest main force of the national table tennis women's line, born in 2004, and is the successor force of the national table tennis intentionally cultivated. She shoots horizontally with her left hand, and plays with both sides of the curve ball near the table, which is a new human in the table tennis world who has grown up in the standard 40+ era. Due to her low ranking in the world (22nd), she has not qualified for the three major tournaments of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, the Singapore Grand Slam and the Incheon Championships, so she has been absent from the official competition for 95 days.
This was the biggest difficulty Kuoman faced before the start of this match. The unfamiliar feeling of the game, under the new format that requires quick heat, will it become a constraint for Kuo Man?
Hong Jianfang, who was born in 1973, is 51 years old this year, 31 years older than Kuo Man, and is an authentic old aunt. Hong Jianfang's right hand is straight, with particles on both sides, and a crazy inverted board, which is a special existence in a special style of play, which is about equal to a miniature mirror version of Ni Xialian. And the last time Kuaiman played, he lost to Ni Xialian...
In this game, Kuaiman played more devotedly in the early stage, and in the first game, she mobilized with all her strength, and established a lead from the first round, 11-5, Kuaiman won the first game relatively smoothly.
During the break, Coach Qiu Yike, the on-the-spot coach, once again told Kuo Man to suppress Hong Jianfang's backhand more.
In the second game, Kuo Man implemented the coach's deployment more firmly at the beginning of the game, and opened up the score difference with a wave of 5-1. Aunt Hong then made full use of the particle change and chased it to 4-5. Kuaiman quickly stabilized his position and increased the proportion of forehand attacks, 11-6, Kueman took the next game, and Oita took the lead 2-0.
In the first two games, Hong Jianfang scored too much, and the last two games should pursue a big score difference. Because Tian Zhixi let Hong Jianfang score a total of 18 points, the small score is likely to become the final decisive force.
In the third game, Kuaiman controlled it tightly and won 11-3.
In the fourth game, Kuo Man started a little carelessly, falling behind 0-3 directly, and Qiu Yike immediately called a timeout. After coming back, Kuo Man was still lazy, and the score was pulled to 7-1 by Hong Jianfang. Kuaiman woke up like a dream at the last moment, chased consecutive points, and finally won 11-9.
Kuo Man defeated Hong Jianfang 4-0, with a total score [44-23]
Kuo Man will take on South Korea's Chinese ace Tian Zhixi tomorrow. In the last round, Tian Zhixi, who is the seed in this group, also defeated Hong Jianfang 4-0, with the specific score: 11-1, 11-6, 11-7, 11-4, with a total score [44-18]
Tian Zhixi has been in very good form recently, defeating Misei Ito in the Incheon Championship, and he was also on a par with Wang Manyu for a while. She is also a left-handed general, and she may not be as strong as Kueman, but she may be better in terms of speed.
Therefore, it is really difficult to say who will kill the deer in tomorrow's Heman battle.
