Although not as great as Ito's threat to the national table tennis, Japan's Zhang Benzhihe is still one of China's main opponents, and his determination to defeat the national table tennis is no less than that of Ito. However, at the Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Benzhihe was hit hard in singles, and he lost his front hoof before he reached the national table tennis account, which really made Japanese fans depressed for a long time.
Recently, Zhang Benzhihe revealed a major reason for his loss, which turned out to be related to the fact that his racket was not smooth. He told the Japanese media: Since around March, I have been agonizing over the grip of the racket. From the beginning of the Olympic singles to the end of the team competition, a total of 4 or 5 rackets were changed.
Zhang Benzhihe continued to complain: the problem of the racket could not be decided even a minute before the game, and the shape of the racket was really strange. This also led me to tell the truth before the big game, and it was really not good.
However, Zhang Benzhihe also admitted that the racket was not the only factor in losing. He said I wanted to play better and had too many thoughts about having to win at the Tokyo Olympics, and it turned out to be too stressful and it felt weird.
Zhang Benzhihe finally said that although the singles were hit hard, they gained in the team competition. In particular, I am active as the ace of the Japanese team, and the bronze medal of the boy band makes me feel more joyful than ever.
