The 2021 Table Tennis Super League came to an end, Shandong Weiqiao beat Shandong Luneng and won the men's team championship, Ma Longkong scored 2 points and missed the championship, and Liang Jingkun won both the championship and the MVP award. After winning the table tennis championship, Shandong Weiqiao player Zhou Yu officially announced his retirement from the national team, and another famous player will retire from the national table tennis!
In this men's team final, Zhou Yu first played in the first doubles, his partner Zhou Qihao won 3 consecutive sets after 0-2 behind, reversed Yan An/Wang Chuqin 3-2, staged a Jedi counterattack, and won the crucial first point for Shandong Weiqiao, which was also the first time that Shandong Luneng lost points in the league; in the fourth singles game, Zhou Yu faced the victorious Ma Long first to win 1 set, and finally lost 1-3, although he did not win, but he had tried his best, although he lost Yu Rong!
Shandong Weiqiao was able to win the championship, Liang Jingkun was the first meritorious man, and Zhou Yu also played an important role. After the game, Zhou Yuyi picked up the "big fat" Liang Jingkun and celebrated wildly.
As a player born in 1992, the 29-year-old Zhou Yu can be regarded as a veteran, although he did not win the world championship, he also received a lot of honors. As early as 2012, Zhou Yu won the Men's Singles Championship of the National Championships, and also won the National Games Men's Team, Men's Doubles Championship, Asian Championship Mixed Doubles Champion and other honors.
After winning the table tennis championship, Zhou Yu also announced the decision to withdraw from the national team: from today onwards, I choose to leave the glorious collective of the national team! I am grateful to the team for cultivating and helping me for 14 years, and thank you to the leaders of the association. Zhou Yu then thanked the coaches who had guided him.
According to Zhou Yu's words, retiring from the team does not retire, which means that although he has left the national team, he may continue to play and continue to engage in table tennis! At the beginning of the Paris Olympic Games cycle, there will be many veterans who will withdraw from the national team, and there will be new people who will continue to grow, I wish that retired veterans can continue to shine in the new world!
