It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Zhang siblings, the overall strength of the Japanese table tennis team has also been greatly improved in recent years. The players have not only improved their skills, but also improved their tactical understanding and ability to respond to battles. Such an overall strength enhancement will surely lay a solid foundation for the Japanese team to compete in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.
In addition, the Japan Table Tennis Association has been working tirelessly for the future development of this team. Not only do they invest heavily in the youth training system and actively develop young talents, but they also continue to bring in top coaches and optimize training programs to create a better training environment for players. Such an all-round development strategy will surely lay a solid foundation for the take-off of Japanese table tennis.
