In the past two days, the popularity of the Macau Table Tennis World Cup has really not diminished, especially the controversy over the side ball, to be honest, I originally thought that this matter had passed, but I didn't expect it to be a hot topic now.
Yesterday, I had a quick mouth and posted a video to talk about it, but I was scolded by netizens so miserable, it was just bloody! Just like the two people fighting, the person who persuaded the fight was beaten, I really experienced the lethality of public opinion this time, oops, it's too fierce! Today I went to visit the major self-media platforms again, and found that this matter is really endless, and the fans on both sides are arguing hotly. I wondered, you said, those two parties were laughing and laughing at the airport, eating and drinking, and then flew back to Beijing together, why are the fans still arguing here?
Some people say that there are a lot of hearts and eyes here, and some people say that there is a problem with the character over there, which is really a bit too much. Personally, I think this kind of atmosphere is really not good, and it is not necessary. Sports, after all, is not entertainment, let's not bring the entertainment industry to the sports circle. They are teammates who eat and train together every day, and they are comrades-in-arms who want to fight side by side, representing our country to compete with foreigners.
Now that the Paris Olympics are approaching, and foreign athletes are staring at us, how can we be infighting at this time? Do you remember Zhang Benmeihe's reaction after losing the game on our turf? The little girl said in her broken Chinese with admiration: "You are so strong!" and then cried aggrievedly. What do you say she is wronged about? What are you crying about? In fact, she is unwilling and unconvinced.
But look at how much she improves every time she competes! This Ben Meihe is not yet 16 years old, and she is already qualified to compete with the world's No. 1 and No. 2 players, and this future is really limitless. How many of our fans are concerned about the threat that these outside players are facing us?
Sometimes, I really admire the eyes of some people, why are they so sharp? To be honest, we mortals really can't see whether the ball has been rubbed or not. Even the referee and Sasha may not have seen it clearly, right? At that time, the court knew best whether the ball was on the edge or not, and I still insisted on my opinion yesterday: only Manyu knew it. Manyu didn't give a clear statement, which made people wonder why.
Undoubtedly, there are two situations: one is that she really did not wipe the edge, which has nothing to say, and the other is that she clearly wiped the edge in her heart, but her desire for victory made her choose to be silent. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, athletes are also ordinary people, who doesn't want to win? Just ask those netizens who question Manyu, if you were Manyu, would you take the initiative to reject the referee's favorable verdict? Do you dare to play Truth or Dare? Do you dare to say what you really think?
Dongliang thinks that this controversial edge ball is really not the key factor in changing the situation of the game, let's not be too entangled in this matter, give the athletes some space. So what is the reason why Wang Manyu lost the game while leading?
I think it is mainly reflected in these three points. First of all, I have to say that Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, the two players, are quite strong, and who wins and who loses, is actually normal, it's not a big deal. Moreover, they are really too familiar with each other, and it is estimated that they can smell each other's fart, so an important reason for Wang Manyu's loss this time is that her ability to resist pressure may be slightly inferior to Sun Yingsha.
Think about it, Wang Manyu won three games in the first four games, and after taking a big lead, she may have begun to mutter: "Oh, should I be conservative?" As a result, in the fifth game, she may really start to defend, and she doesn't dare to take the initiative to attack like before, always retreating, always retreating. We all know that in the sport of table tennis, the most taboo is to retreat, your retreat is equivalent to giving the initiative directly to the other party, so can it be good?
Let's talk about Sun Yingsha, this girl's ability to read the game is really strong! She is like having a pair of fiery eyes, keenly capturing Wang Manyu's subtle changes, and then constantly adjusting her serve according to the actual situation, improving the quality of the return, and increasing the downspin ball. In this way, Wang Manyu's mistakes naturally increased, and he responded to the old saying, "The road is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high"! Even if he called a pause to adjust, there was no improvement, but in fact, when it came to the decisive game, Wang Manyu was already at a disadvantage, and he had already lost in this momentum.
There is another detail that particularly impresses me, that is, when Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu were replenishing water and resting, one turned his back to the audience and the other faced the audience. At that moment, I felt that Sun Yingsha seemed to have blocked out all the noisy sounds from the outside world, and her mind should be thinking about it quickly. I really put my heart and soul into every detail of the game. Her focus and tenacity are undoubtedly the key to her final reversal and victory!
To sum up, I personally think that Manyu did not lose in the side ball, but the tactics of the tiebreaker were conservative, and it was precisely her opponent Sun Yingsha who was very resolute and went out open-mindedly to fight for a way out for herself. Therefore, Sun Yingsha won this game, won in the mentality, won in the momentum of the tsunami, won in her own concentration, won in her reading comprehension and observation of words and colors. The eel lost in his own hesitation, lost in his domineering, and lost at the critical moment, and there was no support behind him who could give him strength.
From May 1 to May 11, 2024, the Saudi Grand Slam officially kicks off, and the quotas for men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles have all been announced. If you also like national table tennis, remember to like and collect, comment and forward, I believe that with your support, national table tennis will get better and better. We'll see you next time
