Preface
After a week of fierce showdowns, the Macau World Cup came to an end yesterday, with all the gold and silver medals in singles being won by the national table tennis, and the award ceremony after the game was also a lot of highlights. Each expression is also worth savoring......
The Zhang brothers and sisters challenged the main force of national table tennis
In the semi-finals, everyone paid great attention to the players, a total of eight places, the national table tennis accounted for six, and the most eye-catching is the remaining two, both Japanese players, two are still brothers and sisters.
Although his brother Tomokazu Zhang is less than 21 years old, he has been participating in international competitions since 16 years, and everyone is no stranger to him. Although his sister is a rookie born in 08, her achievements in the past two years are also extremely eye-catching, and the attention of the Sino-Japanese war is naturally self-evident.
For table tennis players, the World Cup is one of the three most important events, and they have all entered the semi-finals, and this world championship is naturally to be contested.
Lin Gaoyuan and Zhang Benzhihe are about the same in the world rankings, and the two sides are familiar with each other, they have played each other six times before, and their records are not much different, but in this World Cup, the two games are still remarkable.
At the beginning, the outside world's expectations for the two were not so high, but I didn't expect the momentum of "driving low and going high" to make the two meet again in the semifinals.
Before the start of the match, Lin Gaoyuan expressed his hope to play his level, and he also did what he said, sweeping Zhang Benzhihe with a score of 4-0 to enter the World Cup men's singles final.
After the game, Lin Gaoyuan said that he reached the final of the World Series for the first time, and there was nothing to worry about, just enjoy it. The most interesting thing is the fourth game, 11-1, Zhang Benzhi and the fighting style of play, it can be clearly seen that the mentality is in a hurry and the mistakes increase.
When the score reached 10-1, it was estimated that Zhang Benzhihe's mentality was almost collapsed, but Lin Gaoyuan did not give him any chance and successfully ended the battle 11-1.
And Zhang Benmeihe's match with Wang Manyu is even more stalemate, Zhang Benmeihe is not yet 16 years old, her progress can really be described as fast, and she is also the key training object in Japan's "Genius Youth" program.
In the Asian Games last year, she won a game from Wang Manyu, and this time it was also her first time to participate, and she eliminated the world No. 3 Wang Yidi 4-1 in the group stage, and then met the "old opponent" Wang Manyu in the semifinals.
In the game, Zhang Benmeihe's offensive was very fierce, fortunately, Wang Manyu resisted it all, and finally defeated Zhang Benmeihe with a score of 4-2, in fact, the small score difference between the two in these six games is not much, and it is almost evenly matched.
At the end of the game, knowing that she had won, Wang Manyu squatted directly on the ground to cover her face, believing that she must have been very excited at that time, and Ma Lin, who was on the side of the arena, showed her excitement and shouted with her fists.
When it comes to the finals, the off-court instructors can relax, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and they can study the competition by themselves.
At the beginning of the men's singles competition, Ma Long lost three games in a row, and the fans at the scene gasped with a score of 0-3, but Ma Long actually won four games in a row in the follow-up game, reversing Lin Gaoyuan to win the men's singles championship!
This result is unexpected by many people, this victory is already Ma Long's third World Cup men's singles championship, and it is the 30th world championship in his own career!
After the game, Ma Long said that he didn't think he could win the championship in this game, and he thought that as long as he entered the top four, he would complete the task he set for himself, so during this competition, the whole person was in a very relaxed state.
While thanking everyone for their support, Malone also thanked himself for not giving up when he was down 0-3.
#不小这边看得也是令人激动万分, it is not surprising that the two of them can reach the final, after all, these are the two who are currently ranked first and second in the world.
In the first two games, Sun Yingsha has been in a backward state, and the big score of 0-2 is very unfavorable for her, and in the third game, Sun Yingsha made a big effort to successfully recover a point, but in the fourth game, Sun Yingsha had a problem with her rhythm, and let Wang Manyu win a point.
After six rounds, it was a 3-3 draw, and in the seventh game, it was a 9-9 draw, which was too intense, whoever scored two points first would win the championship!
This is the first time Sun Yingsha has won the World Cup women's singles championship, and this morning, she also posted on her personal social account to express her gratitude to everyone. And then the award ceremony, there were also many "famous scenes".
There were highlights at the award ceremony
After all the competitions in Macao, the organizers also held an award ceremony, and the eight award-winning athletes also took a group photo when they presented the awards. But for the photos released by the official, it still caused a lot of netizens to discuss.
There is one thing in common, whether it is the women's singles side or the men's singles side, Zhang Ben brothers and sisters come to take pictures with mobile phones, and they are all smiling when they stand at the front, and many netizens have started to "read comprehension" about this.
I think this is very good, the others are all from our national table tennis team, and letting people take pictures at the front undoubtedly shows the demeanor of our great country, and also avoids some untrue press releases such as "stepping on" from some bad media.
Whether it is a men's and women's singles selfie or a championship selfie, Sun Yingsha and Ma Long are both holding trophies and smiling very happily. Even if you put it in the crowd, you can see who is the winner at a glance.
But there are two other expressions that can't match the "fiery eyes" of netizens, that is, Wang Manyu and Lin Gaoyuan, both of whom chose to stand in the last position in the group photo of the champion, runner-up and third runner-up.
There is no smile on his face, his lips are tight, and he looks at the camera, although he is the runner-up, but this expression does not have the slightest feeling of winning the award, after all, they must have regrets in their hearts if they missed the championship.
Obviously won the silver medal, but more people will only remember the championship, and the same is true when various media report it.
Although the game is over, but the personal mood will still be a little lagging, a while and a half will not be able to adjust, no matter what, they are all athletes who win glory for the country, and they have to do their best to make up for the regrets they have left, I believe they will create their own brilliance!
epilogue
Although the Macau World Cup has come to an end, the national table tennis can only rest for a few days to adjust their state, and on May Day, they will continue to compete in the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam.
