Japan men's table tennis suffered Waterloo
In the just-concluded table tennis WTT Oriental Grand Slam, Japan men's table tennis suffered Waterloo, and this defeat may not only have an impact on them, but also mentally.
You know, the Japan team in this competition sent an all-star lineup, and this directly led to the strength of the Japan team in this competition.
Especially in the men's singles competition, the Japan team sent their top seed, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, to play, hoping to justify their strength in this competition and start the war drum for the Paris Olympics in advance.
However, Tomokazu Haramoto was unexpectedly defeated in the round of 16 by a Japan teenager who did not qualify for the Olympics and missed the quarterfinals.
And Moregard, who defeated Tomokazu Zhangmoto, is also one of the dark horses of this competition, and in the previous match, he eliminated two players from the eastern powers in a row.
This kind of performance also impressed people, so when it came to playing against Tomokazu Zhangmoto, Moregard was also full of confidence.
In this competition, Moregard eliminated a total of three Japan players in a row, which can be said to have wiped out all the Japanese men's table tennis players.
And judging from the whole process, Moregard did not encounter any major difficulties, and such a performance is enough to prove Moregard's current strength.
The Japanese players were all wiped out
So why did such a powerful player end up in the end? In fact, judging from his consecutive victories over three Japan players, Moregard is not actually a bad performer, but it is precisely because of his excellent performance that the entire Japan men's table tennis is in trouble.
The reason why Moregard was able to make the right judgment at the crucial moment and win the streak also depends on the whole match.
In this game, Tomokazu Zhang played a total of five games with Moregard, although Tomokazu Zhang still lost the game in the end, but it was the process of this game that made people see the true strength of Moregard.
At the beginning of the game, Tomokazu Zhang directly won two games in a row and looked like he had won the game, but Moregard did not give up, and directly won three games in a row after the start of the third game, and finally successfully reversed and won the game.
This happened twice when Moregard faced the other two Japan players later, and when he was beaten to the edge of the cliff, Moregard was able to come up with the right response at the crucial moment.
And this also reflects a characteristic of the entire Japan men's table tennis players - when the situation is unfavorable, it is easy to collapse.
This is one of the reasons why Tomokazu Zhang lost this match, but you must know that Tomokazu Zhang has already won Olympic gold medalists Fan Zhendong and Lin Gaoyuan, two players from the great teams of the East.
This also shows that Tomokazu Zhang is not only strong, but also mentally excellent, and can maintain stability in critical moments.
And Moregard's success in turning the score around also proves that he is very strong at the moment, and he can still remain calm and make the right judgment at critical moments.
Mistakes under high pressure
Such a controversial game will naturally attract the attention of fans and the media, and after this game, many netizens said that Zhang Benzhihe was very unwilling when he was blown wrong by the referee.
But in fact, the referee did not foul, and when the key ball Zhang Benzhi and the serve were whistled by the referee for a foul, the referee made a very accurate judgment according to the rules.
And Tomokazu Zhang's forced loss of five points in a row in one game also reflects his extreme anxiety in the game, and under such high pressure, even the strongest person will inevitably make mistakes.
Even in the first game, Tomokazu Zhang once led to 9:6, but still failed to hold the lead and finally lost the game.
Tomokazu Zhang was also punished twice for mistakes in the whole game, but we have no say in the result, and it is understandable for the referee to blow the penalty under high pressure.
Even before Malone withdrew from the game in the World Cup because he was dissatisfied with the referee, we should look at the problem calmly and objectively when the referee makes a blow.
epilogue
Japan's men's table tennis defeat this time is really embarrassing, especially the performance of Tomokazu Zhangmoto, which makes us see the vulnerability under high pressure. Perhaps this failure will be a stronger motivation for them in the future!
