In the middle of the vast table tennis arena stands the bright star of the Japanese table tennis world, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, who will face off against Chinese star Fan Zhendong.
As a rising star in the Japanese table tennis world, Tomokazu Zhang shoulders the ardent expectations of countless people, and fans across the country are looking forward to this young player who dares to challenge the Chinese team to stage a shocking reversal in this World Cup final.
At the beginning of the match, Tomokazu Zhang roared as before, trying to stimulate his fighting spirit. However, Fan Zhendong turned a deaf ear to this and devoted himself to the rhythm of his game, unmoved.
As time passed, Zhang Benzhihe's roar gradually became weak, and even Fan Zhendong could barely let out a few faint cheers when he scored, and the brave and fearless fighting spirit of the past seemed to be gone.
In the end, Fan Zhendong easily defeated Tomokazu Zhang with a disparity of 4:1. When the last ball landed, Zhang Benzhihe knocked on the edge of the table weakly, his eyes were empty and his face was full of endless loss.
At the post-match press conference, when asked by reporters about the reason for his defeat, Zhang was silent for a long time, and then reluctantly replied that it was due to his own poor form. There was an uproar at the scene.
As the top seed in Japan's table tennis world, Tomokazu Zhangmoto's rash excuses are really hard to convince, and this is not the first time he has played erratically against Chinese players, and he has always been able to lose in all kinds of unbelievable ways, which makes people wonder if he deliberately "let the water go".
When he left the field, Tomokazu Zhang was still expressionless, just dragged out of the gymnasium with a heavy pace in decadence. Behind him, there was a stream of abuse, questioning, and disappointment.
As the pillar of the Japanese table tennis world, Tomokazu Zhangmoto's current situation can be described as in a difficult situation, which makes people sigh.
The origin of all this goes back to eight years ago. At that time, the decision of a family of four to choose to become a Japanese citizen aroused widespread concern from all walks of life, and at the same time, it also laid hidden dangers for future development.
The analysis of the predicament that Zhang Benzhihe is facing today actually goes back to eight years ago. At that moment in 2014, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, together with his father Zhang Yu and sister Zhang Qiangrose, officially became Japanese citizens, and then participated in various table tennis events on behalf of the host country as a Japanese national player.
At that time, cheers and applause came and went, wave after wave. This athlete, who was born into a Chinese family but competed for Japan in the Olympic Games, has undoubtedly become the focus of attention! His bold words and ambitions have also aroused the Japanese people's expectation and desire for the Olympic Games to be held at their doorstep.
However, it is quite intriguing that although Tomokazu Zhang and his parents have emigrated to Japan and become naturalized, his mother Zhang Ling has not changed her nationality and still maintains her status as a Chinese citizen.
Zhang Ling has never given a clear explanation to the outside world for this decision. However, we can reasonably infer that as an excellent table tennis player who once played for the Chinese national team, she has a deep affection for her motherland and is difficult to part.
Perhaps, she hopes to leave a way out for herself in case she needs it.
In addition, we cannot ignore Zhang Ling's special identity. As the mother of the child prodigy Tomokazu Zhangmoto, she has an unshirkable responsibility and voice for the development of her son's future career, so she will inevitably make the most beneficial decision for her son.
And her choice to retain Chinese nationality may be based on such considerations.
So, when she made this decision, did Zhang Ling foresee her son's predicament today? Does she have some kind of secret plan hidden in her heart? I am afraid that only she can give the answer to these questions.
However, regardless of whether Zhang Ling has some secrets hidden in her heart, there is no doubt that she and her husband Zhang Yu have gone all out to cultivate Zhang Benzhihe's table tennis skills over the years.
Since childhood, Tomokazu Zhang has shown extraordinary talent. His love for table tennis is innate, and under the careful teaching of his parents, his skills have improved rapidly. In countless days and nights of companionship and tempering, Tomokazu Zhang gradually mastered the exquisite skills, his immature arms wielding a racket like a sharp sword, directly hitting the opponent's vital point.
Our protagonist, Comrade Zhang Yu, the father of Zhang Zhihe, was deeply inspired and motivated when he faced the extraordinary talent of his son displayed in front of him. He did not hesitate to unload the heavy burden of the coach and devoted himself to Zhang Zhihe's training with all his might.
Whenever it was time to teach a new move, he patiently demonstrated it over and over again until his son was able to master every detail and technique.
It is precisely because of the careful teaching cultivated by this family affection that Zhang Zhihe won the championship titles of various age groups one after another during the period when he went to Japan to study, which can be called a table tennis competition that swept the whole of Japan.
At that time, he set many records that were all impressive, and he was widely regarded as the future star of Japanese table tennis.
And when Ms. Zhang Ling saw her son's heroic struggle on the field, she naturally couldn't hide the joy in her heart. She never expected that her child would have such an outstanding talent, and this luck was like rain from heaven.
There is no doubt that Tomokazu Zhangmoto's talent is absolutely outstanding. As early as when he was only two years old, he was able to skillfully swing a racket and play table tennis balls with a clean and neat movement.
The parents were all overjoyed when they saw this, and they firmly decided that they must put all their hopes on this little one.
As a result, a kind of ambition and pride to move forward arose spontaneously in my heart.
In fact, Zhang Zhihe did not disappoint his parents. Since elementary school, he has made his mark in various table tennis competitions and has repeatedly achieved excellent results. After entering middle school, his reputation has spread far and wide, and everyone knows about it.
Many famous coaches at home and abroad have taken the initiative to invite Ms. Zhang Ling, hoping to personally guide this talented teenager.
Faced with such a rare opportunity, Zhang Ling and his wife began to think carefully about whether they should send their son overseas for further study. They hope that Zhang Zhihe can broaden his horizons and receive more diversified training in order to climb to higher peaks in the future.
And Zhang Zhi and his parents' ardent expectations for him can actually be traced back to the distant past. Ms. Zhang Ling and her husband, Mr. Zhang Yu, were originally outstanding athletes in the national table tennis team.
Especially in the 80s of the last century, Ms. Zhang Ling was a member of the national table tennis team, she won every battle on the court, and her competition results have always remained at a very high level, becoming the backbone of the team.
However, in 1995, Ms. Zhang Ling suffered a regrettable defeat, and since then her main position has gradually disappeared.
When faced with serious difficulties, Ms. Zhang Ling resolutely made a shocking decision - she and her lover Mr. Zhang Yu set foot on a distant land and moved their family to Japan to settle down.
It is undeniable that in the early days of life in a foreign land, there were many language barriers, unfamiliar environments, and a sense of loneliness without relatives, but they never flinched in the slightest, and always found a way to survive with perseverance and hard work.
After a long baptism of time, they finally settled down in the bustling city of Tokyo. Until June 2003, that day, an unforgettable memory was deeply imprinted in their hearts. Ms. Zhang Ling welcomed a lively and lovely baby boy, and they named him Tomokazu Zhangmoto, a name full of their endless expectations and hopes for the future.
Since then, this cozy family of three has finally been on a normal track. As time passed, Tomokazu grew up and showed outstanding talent in table tennis.
For Zhang Ling and his wife, who were once rejected by the national team for various reasons, it is undoubtedly God's favor that rekindled their old dreams.
It is true that Zhang Ling and Zhang Yu, as members of the national team, had the great dream of winning glory for the country. However, fate played a merciless trick on them, causing them to leave their homeland and pin their hopes on their son.
Now that their son has grown up, their greatest wish is to see Tomokazu Changmoto inherit their career and rebuild their former glory.
