A few days ago, Japanese table tennis star Mizutani Hayabusa officially announced his retirement. It is reported that Mizutani Falcon's teammate Zhang Benzhi and many times failed to retain, it can be said that Mizutani Falcon has made up his mind. In this way, the Japanese men's table tennis has also completed the replacement of the old and the new, and without a good helper like Mizutani Falcon, Zhang Benzhihe will have to take the lead alone. Although Zhang Benzhihe is very optimistic, the outside world predicts that his growth height should be higher than that of Mizutani Falcon, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to compete with Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and other national table tennis ace players.
After the Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese table tennis team took the initiative to shuffle, first of all, there was a change in the coaching team, and then individual players had to leave the first team. As a veteran, Mizutani Hayabusa had already had a retreat because of an eye disease that affected his play. Coupled with the older age of Mizutani Hayabusa, under the impact of young players, the competitiveness is indeed not as good as before. After playing in the last T-League game, Hayabusa Mizutani officially retired.
Everyone is familiar with Mizutani Hayabusa, who was a key player cultivated by the Japan Table Tennis Association and had a relatively brilliant career. He has defeated the main players of national table tennis many times, such as defeating Xu Xin in the Olympic arena, and celebrating in front of Liu Guoliang and Ma Long. There is also the previous Tokyo Olympic Games, Mizutani Hayabusa partner Ito Mimachi, defeated Xu Xin / Liu Shiwen, and won the mixed doubles gold medal. It can be said that Mizutani Hayabusa ended his career in a very perfect way.
As a big brother, Mizutani Hayabusa is also very helpful for the growth of young Japanese players, and Ito said that he learned a lot from Mizutani Hayabusa. Zhang Benzhihe said that whenever he encountered difficulties, he would think of mizutani Hayabusa's game, and all along, Zhang Benzhihe felt that Mizutani Hayabusa was a very powerful player. Whether in the national team or the club, Mizutani Hayabusa is a good helper for Zhang Benzhihe, so Zhang Benzhihe has retained Mizutani Falcon many times, but the latter has decided to go.
In this way, the Japanese men's table tennis has also completed the replacement of the old and the new, and Zhang Benzhihe will pick the beam. In recent years, Zhang Benzhihe has grown rapidly and is recognized as the leader of the new generation of Japanese men's table tennis, and sooner or later he will take over the flag from the hands of Mizutani Falcon. However, entering the Paris Olympic cycle, Zhang Benzhihe faced huge challenges, first of all, the Japanese men's table tennis did not have too prominent players, Niwa Takashi was embarrassed and useful, young players such as Yukiya Utada and Hayabusa Tokami were not stable, and Zhang Benzhihe did not have too good helpers.
Secondly, the national table tennis is still strong, even if Ma Long and Xu Xin gradually fade out, the national table tennis still has ace players such as Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, liang Jingkun, like Wang Chuqin or Zhang Benzhihe's nemesis. Therefore, even if Zhang Benzhi and his personal strength are outstanding, it is difficult to compare with national table tennis. Without Mizutani Hayabusa, The Japanese men's table tennis has a lot less experience, and the overall strength is obviously different from the national table tennis, see Zhang Benzhihe how to deal with it?
