Counting the small points, Ito Misei is 3 points less than the Thai player!
News on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, Beijing time. The Macao Table Tennis World Cup is not only a competition for athletes' "ball skills", but also a test of athletes, coaches, and fans' "arithmetic ability". This World Cup has brought everyone's computing level and the popularization of event rules to a higher level. Interesting!
Misei Ito is out. Four Japanese sisters: Hina Hayada has advanced. Miu Hirano has been promoted! Miwa Zhang has been promoted! Only Misei Ito. - Ms. "Mima" in the group, in fact, the opponent is not strong: Thailand's Savita But, the United States' Wang Amy, in fact, in terms of strength, does not pose a threat to Ito. However, Misei Ito lost the opportunity alive!
Looking at it now, it makes sense that Ito missed the Paris Olympics. He led Wang Manyu 2-0 from the Grand Slam and laughed all over his face, and then was reversed by Wang Manyu 4-2. Then to Incheon Station, he led Tian Zhixi 2-1, looked proud, and was reversed by Tian Zhixi. Misei Ito herself is really a bit of a "fan". The bottleneck cannot be broken, and Ito is not the invincible opponent of the Tokyo Olympics.
In this Macau World Cup, Ito's 7th group has become a "serial set", and all three games are 2-2! If you count the small scores, the Thai players have the last laugh, let's take a look at this wonderful "math problem":
On the first match day, Ito drew 2-2 with Savitabut, and Savita But, 40-37, was 3 points ahead of Ito!
On the second match day, Wang Amy drew 2-2 with Savita But, and Savita But, 36-35, led Wang Amy by 1 point!
On the third match day, Ito Misei drew 2-2 with Wang Amy, and Ito Mimato scored 40-38, leading Wang Amy by 2 points!
However, to no avail. Because of the small score, Misei Ito was 3 points behind Savita But, and Wang Amy was 1 point behind Savita But—— so that the Thai player "smiled and accepted the gift" and successfully qualified!
In the first game, Misei Ito had a chance and threw them all away. In the third game, Ito Micheng led several times, and Wang Amy was inferior to Ito Micheng in other aspects except for the tricky landing point, but it was Wang Amy who seized the opportunity.
