The top four of the World Cup are all out! The six national table tennis teams will enter the top four, and winning the championship and Asia are just around the corner! The glory of the national ball is just around the corner! At the just-concluded Macao World Cup table tennis arena, the Chinese army once again exerted all its skills to feast the eyes of the fans. Whether it is the men's singles or women's singles field, a hot duel was staged, which made the audience sometimes pinch a cold sweat, and sometimes applaud. This high-profile top-level event not only witnessed the tenacious struggle of the national table tennis athletes, but also a baptism of the rookies in the table tennis world.
When it comes to the men's singles field, it is the outstanding performance of the teenager Wang Chuqin that is the most eye-catching. This post-90s teenager faced South Korean star Zhang Yuzhen in the 1/4 finals. At the beginning of the competition, Wang Chuqin showed a tenacious fighting spirit, and quickly took the lead with flexible skills and decisive and witty decisions. Zhang Yuzhen was naturally not to be outdone, and sacrificed a series of wonderful attacks, and the two sides launched a protracted offensive and defensive battle on the field.
However, just when everyone was preparing for a marathon battle, Wang Chuqin suddenly turned passive into active, and with his outstanding performance of fearlessness and resourcefulness, he broke the record and expanded the score to 4-1, and finally defeated his opponent Zhang Yuzhen with this high score, and embarked on the road to the top four. During the whole game, Wang Chuqin was in danger, steady and steady, and at the same time witty and flexible, and always maintained a high degree of tension, which made the audience amazed.
In another key battle, Lin Gaoyuan also defeated Fan Zhendong, who was also strong, with excellent all-round strength. At the beginning of the game, the two sides launched a hot fight, and you came and went. Lin Gaoyuan quickly took the initiative, and gradually opened the score with his excellent play of steady and steady play and proper control of offensive opportunities. Although Fan Zhendong had a counterattack in the midfield, he was still unable to defeat Lin Gaoyuan's overall strength in the end, and was defeated by the opponent with a score of 3-1, opening a new schedule for himself.
In addition, in the face of Japanese teenager Hayasuke Togami, Ma Long fell into passivity as soon as he started, and the deficit was quite large. However, Ma Long did not give up, he played steadily, and gradually pulled back one game after another with his excellent basic skills and valuable experience accumulated over the years. In the last game of the decisive game, the two sides went back and forth, and the battle situation was very stale. Just when the audience was holding their breath, Ma Long finally relied on his extraordinary tenacity and tenacious fighting spirit to fight back and win with a thrilling 5-4 reversal!
In another key battle, Japanese teenager Tomokazu Zhang is also a young player, but he is already a fierce player with good football skills. At the beginning of the first game, Tomokazu Zhang quickly won the game lead with his quick reaction and vigorous pace. However, Sweden's Anton Carlberg was clearly not a vegetarian either, and he quickly overtook the score. In the next two games, Tomokazu Zhang played his own unique skills, relying on the opponent's momentary negligence, and killed the opponent with a total score of 3:2 in two consecutive cities!
These two games were equally exciting, and they also showed us the tenacious and never-say-die sportsmanship of the players. Ma Long was not discouraged when he was behind, gritted his teeth and counterattacked bit by bit, and finally turned defeat into victory; Tomokazu Zhang gave full play to the advantages of young people who are responsive and alert. But then again, age isn't everything, and Anton Carlberg's "veteran" is also worth learning from.
Through these two competitions, we once again saw the spirit of the athletes' tenacious struggle and never giving up, which is worth learning from each of us. The women's singles field is also full of climaxes, and fierce battles are in full swing. Chinese youngsters Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng both played well in their respective matches, presenting a series of fascinating performances for the audience.
First up was Sun Yingsha against world No. 8 Radwanska, who showed her tenacious fighting and excellent backhand quality to advance to the next round after more than three hours of fierce battle. Throughout the game, Sun Yingsha's play was steady and skillful, and it was difficult for opponents to find her weaknesses at all.
And Chen Meng showed her skills in the duel with the world's No. 4 Latvian beauty Ocharova, allowing the audience to see her vigorous strength. In the first two rounds, Chen Meng used his cautious and steady baseline ball style to force his opponent to retreat. Despite a stubborn comeback from her opponent in the third round, Chen Meng was unswayed and finally sealed the victory with an aggregate score of 2-1, opening a new schedule for herself.
In the duel with Japanese veteran Hina Hayata, the veteran of the national team, Wang Manyu defeated his opponent with a total score of 3-2 and opened a new schedule for himself. In the first two rounds, Wang Manyu took the lead with his outstanding serve and solid baseline kung fu. In the third round, she was forced to retreat by her opponent's tenacious struggle, but she steadied herself on key points and finally suppressed her opponent with her solid fundamentals.
In this round of women's singles matchups, the Chinese players played well and won hard and memorable victories, giving fans infinite memories and expectations.
Seeing the national table tennis shine again in this event, I am sincerely proud of them. These athletes not only showed excellent skills, but also reflected the spirit of tenacious struggle. Whether they are veterans or rookies, they all interpret what it means to "never give up" in their own way.
At the same time, this event also allowed me to see the broad prospects of Chinese table tennis. The new generation of athletes is growing rapidly, and they will undoubtedly be the mainstay of the future table tennis world. I believe that under the guidance of experienced veterans, coupled with their own hard work, they will achieve extraordinary results.
Outside the arena, Chinese athletes also used their words and deeds to demonstrate the tenacious character and noble sentiments of the Chinese nation. In the post-match interview after winning the championship, Malone was humble and polite, expressing regret and apologies for the defeat of his subordinates. Chen Meng sincerely expressed his gratitude to the coaching team. These small details all reflect the valuable qualities of Chinese athletes who are humble and courteous and work hard.
I sincerely admire the outstanding performance of the Chinese table tennis team at this World Championships. They not only showed super personal strength, but more importantly, they showed the spirit of unity and cooperation. This quality of unity and never giving up is precisely where the pride of the Chinese nation lies.
I sincerely hope that Chinese table tennis will be passed on from generation to generation in the future, and that there will be successors who will continue to shine on the world stage! Let us look forward to the fact that in the near future, Chinese table tennis athletes will once again add new sports glory to the motherland!
