Recently, the national table tennis is competing in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam competition, and the next thing will be the singles championship. In the two semi-final civil wars that ended before, the performance of national table tennis fans caused huge controversy after the game. Among them, Lin Shidong and Wang Yidi are considered to have suffered a lot in the process of losing.
First of all, in the two recent singles semifinals, one of them is Sun Yingsha vs. Wang Yidi, and the other is Wang Chuqin vs. Lin Shidong. Because both sides of the game are members of the national table tennis team, for the Chinese fans on the scene, they should be very fair and just to cheer for the players on both sides.
However, it can be seen from the live broadcast that when Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha took the lead to score, the fans at the scene frantically cheered for their two main players. In the case of Wang Yidi and Lin Shidong's victory, the fans at the scene were very low-key and even silent, and almost no fans cheered for Lin Shidong and Wang Yidi, the two national table tennis players.
In other words, the cheering on the scene was basically one-sided, and most of them were cheering for Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin. Under such circumstances, some media people couldn't help complaining that Wang Yidi and Lin Shidong seemed to be players from other associations in this game, and they did not get too much support from domestic fans on the spot. For Wang Yidi, they are very disadvantaged in terms of momentum. This can also understand why Lin Shidong was 2-0 ahead, but in the end he was frantically reversed. Among them, perhaps the cheering of the fans played an important role.
Coincidentally, in the other women's singles semifinals, Chen Meng defeated Hina Hayada 4-0. As a result, during the game, there were actually Chinese fans cheering for Hina Hayata. So after the game was over, Chen Meng directly broke the cheers of some fans and showed no mercy. At that time, Chen Meng said that he was able to face so many aces of the Japanese team in this game, and it was not easy to laugh to the end, and he was also very happy and excited. Chen Meng is very grateful for his efforts and persistence, and of course he is very grateful to the fans on the scene, whether they support him or not.
At that time, although Chen Meng's words were a joke, they were actually considered to be criticizing fans cheering for foreign players in a weird way. Chen Meng's situation is similar to Wang Yidi's, and for these national table tennis players, it must be uncomfortable in their hearts.
Next, in the follow-up games, if it is a Chinese fan, I hope everyone can be treated equally. If you encounter a national table tennis player competing with a foreign player, as a Chinese fan, you should cheer for the Chinese player. Otherwise, if Chen Meng, the main players of national table tennis, heard that domestic fans cheered for foreign players, their mood would definitely be very uncomfortable. It's like the previous match between the main team of national table tennis against Tomokazu Zhangmoto, there were actually Chinese fans cheering for Tomokazu Zhangmoto, which is probably something that the national table tennis players can't understand.
All in all, national table tennis fans should still unite a little. Finally, I look forward to the evening competition, the national table tennis will once again play a wonderful performance, win the championship of five events, achieve the predetermined goal, and continue to prepare for the Paris Olympics.
