On April 18, the knockout round of the table tennis World Cup in Macau was in full swing. All the quarterfinals will be decided today, and 11 people currently have advanced to the national table tennis, and only the teenager Kuo Man missed the knockout round. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the two world champions Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Yidi took the lead in the game. The knockout round system adopts a best-of-7 system, which tests the comprehensive strength and adaptability of the players. In addition, the national table tennis announced new rules earlier, and points will be deducted if you lose a foreign war.
Wang Yidi 1-4 Zhang Benmeihe
Wang Yidi played a little stumbling in the group stage, 3-1 Du Kaiqin in the first round, 2-2 Shan Xiaona in the second round, and Dadi lost three points, which shows that her competitive state is indeed not at her peak. It is worth mentioning that Wang Yidi has lost to the main Japanese team many times, lost to Hina Hayada twice at the World Championships in Durban and the Asian Games in Hangzhou, and lost to Miu Hirano at the World Championships in Busan.
After the start of the game, the two players did not have much temptation, and they started a fierce competition for the first three boards, the score was very close, and the score was 10-10 in the second half, Zhang Benmei and scored 2 points in a row, 12-10 to get off to a good start.
In the second game, after Wang Yidi adapted to the opponent's offensive rhythm, he began to strengthen the control of the landing point, and took the lead at the beginning, Zhang Benmei and the middle game approached the score to 5-6, Wang Yidi played a wave of offensive climax, and soon got the game point and equalized the score at 11-6.
The two gradually got better, Wang Yidi started 3-0, and then Zhang Benmei and used the drop point change and the quality of the board to score 5 points in a row, Wang Yidi suddenly lost power, and the number of unnecessary mistakes increased, Zhang Benmeihe's skills and tactics did work, and the flexible transfer of the landing point made Wang Yidi unable to step on the rhythm, and Zhang Benmei and 11-8 in the end of the game!
In the fourth game, Zhang Benmei and the state broke out, always controlling the score lead, Wang Yidi used a timeout in the game, and was still transferred by various kinds after coming back, and looked very passive on the field, the Japanese teenager seized the opportunity to burst the score, 10-6 to get the game point, Wang Yidi made a backhand attack error, Zhang Ben took the next city 11-6, and the big score was 3-1 ahead of the opponent, and Wang Yidi was going to be deducted points if he lost again.
In the fifth game, Zhang Benmei and the momentum were like rainbows, always suppressed Wang Yidi's attack, and maintained the lead in the score, leading 8-6 in the end game, and the two played the score to 10-10 to 12-12 and then to 14-14 in the final game, and the key ball Zhang Benmei and scored, and finally locked the victory 16-14. So far, Wang Yidi has failed miserably as a world champion, and Zhang Benmeihe has won a big victory and advanced to the top 8 of women's singles!
The impact of losing
Although the national table tennis announced the rules for deducting points for losing foreign wars, the rules are immune to Wang Yidi, and whether or not to deduct points has little impact on her, because Wang Yidi has long been given up by the coaching staff.
However, Wang Yidi lost to the Japanese player one by one, which was a very big blow to her self-confidence. Once upon a time, Wang Yidi was a well-known anti-Japanese woman, but I didn't expect that now it has become the background board of Japanese players, losing Hina Hayata, losing Miyu Hirano, and losing Miwa Zhangmoto, this loss may affect her main position, what do you think?
And the Japanese teenager made a breakthrough in the main force of national table tennis for the first time, which greatly improved her self-confidence.
