The national table tennis men's team faced Iran in the Asian Championship men's team 1/4 final at 13:00 today, a match that should have been a stable victory for national table tennis, but it was full of variables due to the loss of Wang Chuqin in the first set.
National Table Tennis sent a lineup of Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong and Liang Jingkun, and Wang Chuqin, as a single player, faced Iran's 14-year-old teenager Benjamin Faraj, who seemed to have a huge disparity in strength. After all, the status of national table tennis in the world table tennis is well-known, just like the saying "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse". But the result of the game was unexpected by many people.
Wang Chuqin fell into passivity at the beginning, losing the first game 8-11. The lack of adaptation of the venue is a factor. This is like a martial arts master in an unfamiliar environment, and his martial arts will be discounted. Even though Wang Chuqin quickly pulled back a game in the second game 11-3, the situation behind was still not optimistic. Benjamin fell behind 9-11 in the third game, and the competition between the two sides had reached a fever pitch. In the fourth game, Wang Chuqin lost points 11-13, and in the fifth game, Wang Chuqin fell behind 4-8 and finally lost the game 9-11, which is really difficult for many national table tennis fans to accept.
From Wang's point of view, this defeat was not accidental. On the one hand, the lack of adaptation of the venue is indeed a big problem. Table tennis has high requirements for the field, such as the elasticity of the table, the sense of space of the field, lighting and other factors will affect the performance of the players. Wang Chuqin didn't adapt to the venue at the beginning, just like a good hunter who arrived in a new mountain forest and couldn't find the direction.
On the other hand, the 14-year-old Iran teenager Benjamin Faraj should not be underestimated. Although he is young, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. When facing a famous player like Wang Chuqin, he did not have the slightest fear, and tried his best with every ball. This also put a lot of pressure on Wang Chuqin. In the sports world, it is not uncommon for this kind of young player to counterattack, just like the saying "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves".
Looking at the national table tennis side, Wang Chuqin's loss undoubtedly brought huge pressure to the entire team. National table tennis has always been a strong contender for the championship, and fans have high hopes for them. It's like a big mountain pressing on them, and then Lin Shidong and Liang Jingkun have to take on more responsibilities.
In this game, we saw the uncertainty of the sports game. No game can be won absolutely, even if you are a strong national table tennis player. It's like life, it's full of variables. We can't always look at new issues with old eyes. The national table tennis team needs to learn from this defeat and re-examine its training and competition strategies, while the table tennis teams of other countries can also see hope from this game and work harder to catch up with the national table tennis.
