In the 1/8 finals of the 2023 Macau Table Tennis World Cup, Chinese player Sun Yingsha was drawn to meet Chen Xingtong, this is the No. 1 seed of the tournament, and the No. 5 seed met in advance in the round of 16.
In fact, every ball is desperately trying to give up part of the position, and finally launching a general attack, which situation is better, is it hard to say? The ultimate reason is not to please the audience.
And the most direct thing is that the World Table Tennis Federation does not want Chinese table tennis to dominate, and adopts various means to curb Chinese table tennis. Maybe in the near future, the International Table Tennis Federation will take measures to let the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the tournament be drawn directly into a group, and a Chinese player will be eliminated in the group stage first, and they are completely capable of this kind of thing.
The mature international general competition system, try not to change it at will, Chinese football has made big jokes before. In 2003, Chinese football had a big oolong, and that year the Football Association set the final points of the year as 100% of the 2003 standings, plus 50% of the 2002 standings as the final standings scores.
As a result, before the final round of matches, after a series of complex calculations, it was found that Tianjin had to beat, and only Shanghai International, which could win the championship, could be relegated. Chongqing, on the other hand, is even more demanding and must not win, and must lose to Qingdao at home, while Tianjin loses to Shanghai International away to be relegated. If Chongqing wins Qingdao, Tianjin will not be able to be relegated regardless of whether Tianjin wins or loses.
Seeing that the biggest joke in football history was about to happen, the Football Association itself was in a hurry, and the Football Association officials personally found the Shanghai players to play match-fixing. The result was as expected, Chongqing lost 0:3 at home to Qingdao, Tianjin defeated Shanghai 2:1 away, so Tianjin was relegated and Shanghai lost the championship.
If you want to promote the development of table tennis, you can't do it by suppressing Chinese table tennis. This requires the International Table Tennis Federation to make great efforts to promote table tennis, develop table tennis, and simply rely on suppressing Chinese table tennis to achieve balance, which will only make table tennis faster #Twilight Spring Valley Rain# to decline!
