In the table tennis circle, the Chinese table tennis team has always been the hegemon. But in this Asian Championships team competition, the performance of national table tennis is terrifying. In particular, Wang Chuqin's match against Iran's 14-year-old Benjamin · Faraj was simply confusing. It stands to reason that Wang Chuqin is the world's No. 1 player, and he should easily win when he encounters a minor player who is ranked outside the top 200. But at the beginning of the game, Wang Chuqin was pressed and beaten by the youngster, and finally pulled back two games, but lost the fourth game and finally lost 2-3.

Wang Chuqin, nicknamed "Big Head", has first-class technology, but his mentality is a bit problematic. After losing, he smashed the table with a racket directly, which really didn't seem mature enough. However, don't rush to label Wang Chuqin, after all, everyone has times when they are not in good shape. Besides, there is no problem with his character, but he doesn't know how to deal with difficulties and lacks the ability to think. In contrast, the ability to turn the tables against the wind like Fan Zhendong is particularly precious. In competitive sports, technique is important, but it is often the mindset that adjusts at critical moments that wins or loses.
There are some hidden doorways behind the various upset scenes in this competition. Former world champion Guo Yan unraveled the mystery - it turned out that it was all the ball's fault. What does that mean? The seamless ball used in the game is different from the seam ball used in training, which is a new challenge for players who are used to a certain feel. In addition, the table may also be a little slippery, and some opponents play weirdly, which is equivalent to setting a small trap for the masters, so that they will not be able to find the north for a while.
Sun Yingsha's situation was also quite unexpected. The Olympic champion lost 1-3 to the North Korean dark horse. You must know that Sun Yingsha's skills and mentality are among the best in women's table tennis, and such a situation is indeed quite rare. It seems that even if it is as strong as national table tennis, it must be handled carefully in the face of these variables.
Although Lin Shidong narrowly defeated the Iran star in the men's team competition, the process was very difficult, unlike his real strength. It felt like something was holding him back. If that continues, his place could be taken by another player.
This Asian Championships gave the national table tennis a wake-up call, allowing everyone to see the true side of the athletes in the face of difficulties. Although I have encountered a lot of troubles, I believe that after this baptism, both Wang Chuqin and the entire team will become stronger. After all, for the truly strong, setbacks are never the end, but the starting point to a higher realm.
This competition also exposed a problem: the national table tennis needs to strengthen its adaptability in the face of unexpected situations. For example, how to quickly adapt to different types of balls and tables, and how to deal with the odd tricks of your opponents. These are all areas that need to be focused on in future training. Only by constantly improving one's adaptability and psychological quality can one be invincible in international competitions.
In addition, it takes time for young players to develop. Although Wang Chuqin has outstanding skills, he still needs to improve in terms of mentality and experience. The coaching staff can give him more guidance and support to help him grow as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to cultivating more reserve forces and avoid over-relying on individual star players.
This Asian Championships is a valuable lesson for national table tennis. Through this competition, everyone saw their own problems and found the direction of improvement. It is hoped that the national table tennis can continue to maintain high morale, continue to break through itself, and achieve better results in future competitions. After all, for the truly strong, every failure is a stepping stone to success.
