How good is Chinese table tennis?
The phrase "you can always trust the national table tennis team" represents everything.
From Deng Yaping to today's Sun Yingsha.
Generations of "big devils" have made the football world "frightened".
The audience watched the national table tennis team win the gold medal, as if it was as simple as picking up something.
But is that really the case?
Although table tennis is known as the "national sport", it is still a sports competition.
When it comes to sports, there is no such thing as a smooth road.
Liu Guoliang's words unveiled the inside story of the national table tennis team winning the gold medal.
"Easy" is nothing more than the layman's excitement.
Behind every gold medal, there is the "blood and sweat" of table tennis athletes.
Fan Zhendong: Injured and sick, competing in Paris
On August 1, Fan Zhendong staged a "reversal kill" against Zhang Benzhihe.
In the men's singles competition of the Paris Olympics, "Little Fat" Fan Zhendong was unfavorable.
He trailed Tomokazu Zhang with a score of 0:2.
In this case, Fan Zhendong fought fiercely and finally advanced to the top 4.
Suddenly, "Little Fat" became a hot "sweet and sweet".
It's just that no one knows that he was plagued by injuries and almost missed the Paris Olympics.
In 2023, Fan Zhendong fell into a trough.
Eight consecutive defeats have left him with an unprecedented challenge.
At that time, the overwhelming bad comments hit Fan Zhendong.
Many table tennis fans are wondering, what happened to the "violent panda"?
The answers to these questions were found in a warm-up game.
At that time, in the game, Fan Zhendong and Lin Gaoyuan were inseparable.
The fans were immersed in the intense competition and couldn't help themselves.
Suddenly, Fan Zhendong's knees weakened and he fell to the ground.
As the camera zoomed in, it was found that Fan Zhendong was covered in plasters around his knees.
It turned out that Fan Zhendong had been suffering from a knee injury.
A serious injury caused him to stop the game at one point.
After a short period of recuperation, Fan Zhendong immediately resumed training.
This warm-up game is undoubtedly a recurrence of the old disease.
Faced with severe pain, Fan Zhendong only rubbed it slightly.
Then wave your hand and continue the game.
The same thing will also appear at the 2024 Table Tennis World Cup.
During the game, Fan Zhendong suddenly requested a medical timeout.
The sentence "My right arm is a little numb" made the coach panic instantly.
Then the team doctor rushed in and started treatment.
The treatment process made Fan Zhendong's hand injuries clear at a glance.
The connection between Fan Zhendong's thumb and the tiger's mouth puffed up a "big bag".
This "big bag" is the size of a rice ball, and the inside is obviously filled with a large amount of fluid.
The bulging "big bag" alone looks "shocking".
The pain that Fan Zhendong endured can be imagined.
Despite the serious palm injury, Fan Zhendong still insisted on playing the whole game.
His tenacious sportsmanship brought tears to the eyes of countless spectators.
It is important to know that an athlete's injury is almost irreversible.
At that time, the Paris Olympics were only three months away.
The slightest mistake could have cost him an injury that would have him miss the Paris Olympics.
At that time, there were many voices of "singing and declining" on the Internet.
Now Fan Zhendong has fiercely responded to these voices with practical actions.
In the Paris Olympics, Fan Zhendong single-handedly fought his way out of the encirclement.
swept Zamdenko and defeated Tomokazu Zhangmoto.
Fan Zhendong was full of injuries and kept the glory of national table tennis.
"I want to fight to the last ball".
At this moment, Fan Zhendong is a tragic lonely hero.
The road to success is always full of thorns.
Fan Zhendong went from unknown to hot.
The ups and downs of his experience may only be known to him.
Regardless of victory or defeat in the end.
On the evening of August 1, Fan Zhendong has been glorified.
Fan Zhendong is worthy of his heart, he is worthy of this uniform.
At this moment, he is the champion in the hearts of the fans!
Wang Chuqin: An arm that can't be lifted, a waist that can't be straightened
From the canonization of the gods to the fall, Wang Chuqin only took 48 hours.
He was still the mixed doubles champion sought after by the whole network last second.
In the next second, it became the target of ridicule on the whole network.
"The mentality is not good", "the name is not true", "the strength is not good".
All kinds of negative public opinion came to Wang Chuqin.
The men's singles upset made the mixed doubles champion lose his glory.
Even if he bowed his head and apologized, it would not help.
Some netizens are still unrelenting.
A sentence of "evil words" fell heavily on Wang Chuqin's body.
In fact, this move is a bit too biased.
As the saying goes, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers.
There is no need to "cyber violence" against Wang Chuqin because of a loss.
Netizens may wish to stop for a moment before accusing and criticizing.
Focus on Wang Chuqin's arm first, and maybe there will be a different cognition.
On August 1, Wang Chuqin appeared in the stands to cheer for "Little Fat".
Then a news that "Wang Chuqin's arm is still swollen" rushed to the hot search.
Judging from the picture, Wang Chuqin's arms are bulging high.
The entire upper left arm showed a tendency to be swollen, which was obviously different from ordinary people.
One has to worry about his physical condition.
Although Wang Chuqin is only 24 years old, his physical injuries should not be underestimated.
In 2017, Wang Chuqin played closed.
8 hours and 3 games, with severe water in the knee.
In the 2021 National Games, Wang Chuqin participated with an injury.
In the interval between suspensions, a "pain mask" was painful for a while.
Doha Challenger 2024, back injury recurrence.
Played 5 games in one day and kept a clean sheet every time.
After the game, I squatted on the ground to rest, and my waist couldn't stand up again.
A young boy who traded his body for the world's No. 1 ranking.
The mixed doubles gold medal at the Paris Olympics is no accident.
The men's singles upset is indeed regrettable.
But this is just a pity, and Wang Chuqin's efforts cannot be covered up just because of the loss.
The road to the championship is not so easy.
Let's be more tolerant and less invective.
Let Wang Chuqin precipitate with his heart and continue to win glory for the country.
Sun Yingsha: Hands full of calluses, in exchange for glory
Who is the hottest in women's table tennis now?
There is no doubt that it is the "little devil" Sun Yingsha.
The national team once praised Sun Yingsha like this:
"Entrusted in times of danger, commanded in times of danger."
Paris Olympic Mixed Doubles Champion!
The first female forehand in active service!
The No. 1 seed in women's table tennis!
Sun Yingsha has countless honors.
In front of the public, Sun Yingsha always looks like she is smiling.
Winning the championship seemed to be a no-brainer for her.
Some people say that Sun Yingsha's success has some luck with it.
When you see Sun Yingsha's hand, you will find that this sentence is simply ridiculous and generous.
Although Sun Yingsha is a young girl in the flower season, her hands are like old women.
Long-term training has made Sun Yingsha's hands full of calluses.
Her knuckles, in particular, are often in a state of broken skin.
Worn out and worn out, long and worn out, this is Sun Yingsha's daily life.
In addition, long-term training has also allowed Sun Yingsha to have high and low shoulders.
Her two arms look different in thickness.
The right arm is visibly thicker than the left arm.
Sun Yingsha once said:
"There is no glory without setbacks, and there is no glory without tribulations."
Sun Yingsha adhered to this belief and embarked on the road of table tennis.
In the arena, she threw one beat after another.
Forcefully sent himself to the throne of "the world's first".
Sun Yingsha used the calluses on her hands to slowly piece together, and finally put together the Olympic gold medal.
She tells us with her actions that no one can succeed casually.
Ma Long: With a 5-centimeter scar, he returned to the field
"Ma Long is the greatest player in the history of table tennis".
This is what Malone was said about in the media brochure of the Paris Olympics.
Malone is known as the "Hexagonal Warrior".
He won three Olympians and three golds.
Now 35 years old, he is once again competing in the Paris Olympics and aiming for gold medals.
His brilliant record of two Grand Slams has made him a legend in the table tennis world.
Its practical record to describe Ma Long is a bit too shallow.
The 5-centimeter scar on his leg best represents him.
2019 is a time that Malone still does not want to look back.
In this year, Malone ushered in the biggest challenge of his career - a knee injury.
In just two months, Malone had four knee effusions removed just to relieve his knee injury.
It's a pity that due to years of high-intensity training, his knee has been damaged to the limit.
Doctors told Malone that he was no longer fit to compete.
At that time, Malone was already a Grand Slam player.
He could have made it to his death.
But Ma Long wanted to be able to stand on the table tennis world again.
He resolutely chose to go to the United States for surgery.
After the operation, Ma Long actively cooperated with the treatment.
After a series of grueling rehab sessions, Malone was back at the table.
But time has inadvertently changed everything.
The former "hexagonal warrior" has long lost its glory.
Losing one after another has become a nightmare for Ma Long.
Ma Long once said:
"My knee came back, but at the cost of losing the ball feeling."
Can a hexagonal warrior still stand up?
Marlon began a battle with himself.
If you lose, you will replay, and if you win, you will practice.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off.
At the Tokyo Olympics, Ma Long won the championship in one fell swoop.
Regardless of the finish, go all out.
Ma Long's gold medal poured countless days and nights of sweat.
This warrior endured hardships and was finally reborn.
epilogue
Three years ago, Liu Guoliang once said:
"It's scary to keep winning because you can't afford to lose."
Three years later, I realized that Liu Guoliang's words came true.
Winning national table tennis has never been as easy as imagined.
So when the national table tennis loses, please take a look at Sun Yingsha's hands, Wang Chuqin's waist and Ma Long's knees.
After all, there are no victorious generals, only countless hard-working Olympic athletes.
