The men's and women's table tennis World Cup is still going on in Macau, and after the group stage competition a few days ago, the main players of the Chinese team have all broken through and will carry out the next knockout round. In the group stage, only one person in the Chinese team was eliminated, her name is Kuo Man, maybe we will put too much pressure on the young players to say this, but in fact she played really badly, and the coaching staff gave her a chance to be useless, which no one can do. Let's go see what's going on.
In this World Cup, the national table tennis sent the main force to play +2 young players to practice, and the Table Tennis Association also refined the rules of women's table tennis Olympic competition before the game. Fortunately, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Chen Xingtong and Wang Yidi have all completed their initial goals. On the men's table tennis side, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, and Liang Jingkun all advanced without suspense, and the teenager Lin Shidong also passed the test easily. In this way, of the 12-member national table tennis team, one person is left behind.
In this World Cup, Kuaiman participated as the World Youth Champion, and Liu Guoliang and other members of the coaching staff also gave enough opportunities, hoping that the winner of the Youth Championship can have more experience in the World Series.
However, when facing the semi-centennial veteran Hong Jianfang in the first round, although it was a 4-0 victory, Kuaiman had already shown a weak side, because in the fourth game, he was beaten 9-3 by the veteran, but fortunately, his mentality was not bad, and he was able to chase the final reversal point by point when he was behind.
In the face of South Korean-Chinese Tian Zhixi, the "ball sense" has been reminded before the game that Kuo Man needs to accept the baptism of the eldest sister again, it was Feng Tianwei who baptized our national table tennis player before, and now it should be Tian Zhixi, but unfortunately in the end, Tian Zhixi and Kuo Man drew 2-2, and lost to Tian Zhixi with a small score, and Tian Zhixi relied on the relationship between victory and defeat to advance to the top 16.
The last time Tian Zhixi and Kuo Man played each other, Kuo Man achieved a reversal when the score was 1-2 behind, but this time there was no way, and the state of the first two games was very poor. Some people think it's normal for Kuo Man to lose to Tian Zhixi, and some people think it shouldn't. The "ball sense" leans more towards the latter.
First of all, the coaching staff has given the opportunity, the talents in the national table tennis team are very thick, and you can't seize the opportunity, so the opportunity cannot be given to a certain person all the time, otherwise the fans will have to scold the coaching staff as a "royalist";
Secondly, for young players, I have always been encouraged, the first time I participated in this kind of world competition, the mentality, experience is not enough, and it is normal to lose. However, Kuaiman has to think about his birth in 04, 20 years old this year, this age is still very polite to call a young player in the national table tennis team (the national table tennis competition is fierce, and the retirement age is early), this age should be the best age to show his skills in the international arena with new technology, but in addition to the World Youth Championships, does Kueman have any other achievements? There are only two regular season challenge champions, and various regional competitions are not less, but the results are not ideal.
Kuo Man's exit has also caused fans who love table tennis to worry, because in recent years, the gap between the strength of competitors, especially the Japanese team and the national table tennis has been narrowing, and the national table tennis has played more stable except for Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, and Wang Manyu.
Chen Meng won the women's singles championship at the age of 18 in 2012, Sun Yingsha won the women's singles championship at the Japanese Open Championships at the age of 17 in 2017, and Wang Manyu won the women's singles championship at the Olympic Championships at the age of 18 in 2017. So let's not use age or the word "youngster" 2 to deceive others, lack of strength, let's practice, take a closer look at the replay, see where we lose, we fans also hope that the national table tennis players can rise quickly and win glory for the country one day.
