In fact, judging from the international competitions in the past two months, the two most impactful players of Japanese table tennis players are Zhang Benmei and Hina Hayata. Although Hina Hayada is the first sister of Japanese table tennis, her impact on the main force of national table tennis is mainly concentrated in Chen Meng, Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha. Hina Hayada was basically suppressed every time she faced Wang Manyu, and the two sides did have a style of play.
Hina Hayada was difficult to restrict Wang Manyu in the service round first, and was constantly directly pulled by Wang Manyu to score points in the game. In this link, he did not have an advantage and played the first three boards, and he was always at a disadvantage, and Wang Manyu often quickly threw off the game from the middle game stage. Hina Hayada couldn't withstand Wang Manyu's attack, although she was able to chase points in a short period of time, it was too difficult to overtake, and she was almost swept by Wang Manyu.
Hina Hayada lost every time she played against Wang Manyu by a big score, and at present, the player who can defeat Hina Hayada by a big score is only Wang Manyu who can do it among the main forces of national table tennis. Hina Hayada has not been able to break through Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu at the moment, and she is the least likely to break through Wang Manyu this Olympic cycle.
In fact, it can be seen through the process of the game that Wang Manyu's offensive means against Hina Hayada are more abundant. Successive attacks on the mid ball and forehand position made it a little difficult for Hina Hayada to deal with it again, and Hina Hayata's absolute skills were still below Wang Manyu, especially in the return link with too few twists and pulls.
Hina Hayada still has a great impact on Sun Yingsha, who would have thought that less than four months later, Hina Hayada fought Sun Yingsha three times, and twice dragged Sun Yingsha to the tiebreaker. Sun Yingsha is mainly very adaptable, if you look at it purely from a technical level, she and Hina Hayada have their own characteristics.
Sun Yingsha's backhand near the platform fast attack still has an advantage, and Hina Hayata's fast attack on the first three boards is combined with the backhand fast tear, and Sun Yingsha's position is transferred back and forth. In the near stage, Sun Yingsha's strength is stronger, and Hina Hayada can only hope to score if she keeps trying to find a way to move Sun Yingsha's position.
On the whole, Hina Hayada is becoming more and more threatening to Sun Yingsha, and with the increase in the number of fights between the two sides, Hina Hayada also reflects the advantage of the first three boards. Hina Hayada and Wang Manyu did not have the upper hand in the first three boards, because Wang Manyu's return skills were better.
Although Hina Hayata's anti-pull ability in the COSCO platform is very strong, Wang Manyu's ball protection ability in the COSCO platform is thicker than Hina Hayata, and Hina Hayada can't beat Wang Manyu in this link now, and she really can't have the upper hand. Hina Hayada had a greater impact on Sun Yingsha in COSCO, and Sun Yingsha mainly relied on pace convergence to deal with it.
It depends on whether Hina Hayada and Sun Yingsha can be divided into the same half of the singles area at the Paris Olympics, and if she continues to impact Sun Yingsha in the follow-up, then the possibility of the two sides meeting in the singles at the Olympics is very small. In this way, Hina Hayata's preparations for the Olympics are in the wrong direction, because she may face Wang Manyu.
Hina Hayada will play Sun Yingsha in the team event, and there is only a 50% chance of playing in the singles match. And another Japanese table tennis player, Zhang Benmeihe's impact on Wang Manyu is much higher than that of Hayada Hina, Zhang Benmeihe's return technique is better than Hayada Hina, and the connection speed of the forehand and backhand is faster, which has a great impact on Wang Manyu.
It can only be said that Zhang Benmeihe, as a new generation of young players, has the advantage of technical iteration. Wang Manyu mainly relies on spin to deal with Zhang Benmeihe's counterattack, in fact, as long as Wang Manyu does not fight with Zhang Benmeihe's speed, he still has a scoring advantage in the ball holding session.
However, Zhang Benmeihe is not only fast, she can also pull out the rotation, which is where Zhang Benmeihe has a technical advantage. And Zhang Benmeihe's speed of progress is getting faster and faster, but this young player's adaptability is still a lot weaker. Zhang Benmei and Sun Yingsha's matches often fall into passivity, because Sun Yingsha's countermeasures are relatively good.
Therefore, the process of Sun Yingsha against Zhang Benmeihe will be easier, purely from a technical point of view, Japanese table tennis players are no longer weaker than Sun Yingsha, and even have a technical advantage in the first three boards of hair extensions. However, Sun Yingsha's advantage is that she has a strong ability to read the game, and once Sun Yingsha finds the opponent's shortcomings, she can quickly counter the opponent.
Zhang Benmei and Hayada Hina couldn't win against Sun Yingsha, because there was a problem in tactical response, not because of technology. Once caught in Sun Yingsha's fast-attacking rhythm near the platform, whether it is Zhang Benmeiwa or Hina Hayata, they all have the upper hand properly. They can only rely on their technical advantages to impact Sun Yingsha and mobilize Sun Yingsha's position as much as possible.
Therefore, in the subsequent competitions, Zhang Benmei and Sun Yingsha still do not have an advantage, unless her game adaptability is suddenly strengthened. The reason why Hina Hayada was able to impact Sun Yingsha, in addition to her relatively stable skills, was mainly because she made a good post-game summary after every fight with Sun Yingsha, narrowing the gap with Sun Yingsha little by little, which can also make up for her lack of adaptability.
Because when a player's skills become more and more comprehensive, it means that his own shortcomings are shrinking. Therefore, Hina Hayada still has a lot of room for improvement, and it is unlikely that she will fight Sun Yingsha in the Olympic singles competition. And Zhang Benmei and Wang Manyu's impact is getting bigger and bigger, and the two sides will continue to play each other in the Olympic team competition, whether in singles or doubles.
Wang Manyu's Olympic challenge pressure will be greater, in fact, the current Japanese table tennis strategy is to use Hina Hayada to impact Sun Yingsha, and use Zhang Benmei to impact Wang Manyu. It is difficult for these two players to surpass the national table tennis players in a short period of time, so they have been trying to impact and have not shouted the slogan of transcendence, because they do not have this strength yet.
