On October 24, Japan's T League KM Tokyo FC again played TT Caiyu Club, the first doubles mizutani hayabusa partner Zhang Benzhi and 2:0 defeated Hitoshi Ueda / Shinzaka Toshino to help the team win the first point (Mizutani Hayabusa only played this set), and the final result was a 3:1 victory for Tokyo. This game was the last battle of the Mizutani Hayabusa, and after the match, the Mizutani Hayabusa also officially announced his retirement.
Previously, Mizutani Hayabusa announced that he was retiring from the national team, so he still participated in the commercial league, but this time he decided to leave the arena completely, which meant that Mizutani Hayabusa's table tennis career was officially over.
In fact, on October 23, when KM Tokyo played against TT Caiyu Club, Mizutani Hayabusa also appeared, he was also a partner Zhang Benzhihe in the first set of men's doubles, but at that time, Mizutani Hayabusa did not play very well, and finally the two lost 1:2 to Shinchoya / Shinozo Daiden, fortunately, Riki Kazukawa and Zhang Benzhi and the two played well in singles, leading the team to win 3:2, which can also be regarded as saving the "old face" of Mizutani Hayabusa.
Therefore, it is still wise for Mizutani Hayabusa to announce his retirement after the victory on October 24, otherwise with his unstable play, he does not know what the results will be in the future, and it is better to take this opportunity to leave a good ending for his career.
Of course, the T-League is nothing at all, and the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics is enough for him to show off his god record for a lifetime.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Mizutani Hayabusa really didn't stop for a moment, which is not a new trick. Recently, Mizutani Hayabusa published a new book called "The Strength to Fight Back, Have a Strong Spirit", which is mainly about how Mizutani Hayabusa himself and Ito Mishimasa helped the Japanese team win the first Olympic gold medal in history at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Mishimasa Ito and Hayabusa Mizutani won the mixed doubles title, and the reversal in the quarter-finals should have given them a great boost. In this match, Ito Mishimasa / Hayabusa Mizutani played against the German duo of Francesca / Solja, and the Japanese combination played a fairly stable game in the first set, taking the lead 11:8. In the second set, the German duo pulled back a city 11:5. In the third set, the German combination took advantage of the chase and won easily 11:3 to lead 2:1. In the fourth set, the Japanese duo returned another 11:3.
In the fifth and sixth sets, the German and Japanese combinations won one set each, dragging the game to the decider. In the decider, the German duo took the lead by 5:0, and then widened the point difference to 7:1, 9:2, and it was at this moment that the game changed subtly.
According to Hayaburi Mizutani's recollection, when they were behind 2:9, he felt that the ito Mimachi next to him had become lighter, and at that moment he could feel that the strong faith in Ito's heart was broken, and the air in the scene was giving up. But he knew it was his last Olympics, so he didn't want to be a disgraced and unproductive athlete.
Mizutani Hayabusa grew up watching Ito, the previous game was basically Ito Mishimasa with him, and now in the face of such a situation, Mizutani Hayabusa also feels his responsibility and responsibility, so he also strengthens his belief. So he said to Ito, who had already given up a little next to him, "Fight ball by ball!" That's okay, there's still a chance! ”。
"Even if it can't be reversed in the end, I don't want to give up halfway." Believe in miracles, don't give up a glimmer of hope, never give up until the last moment, can't lose to yourself. Mizutani Hayabusa writes in the book. In the end, they also managed to persevere to the end, and the decisive game was 16:14, and the big score was 4:3 against Francesca/Solja.
From Mizutani Hayabusa's book, it can be seen that he is quite satisfied with his performance, and even feels that he is the key to the victory of this game: thanks to himself not giving up, otherwise he will have finished playing earlier. However, due to his excessive exaggeration of himself, many fans are very unbiestened, and they have also been criticized a lot.
However, as far as the matter is concerned, this game is indeed thanks to Mizutani Hayabusa, and if he had given up, the game would have ended a long time ago. This record of the Tokyo Olympic Games will definitely become the honor of Mizutani Hayabusa's life, just like the victory of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, although the national table tennis team "beat him up" fiercely, but the defeat still became a pain in the heart of the national table tennis.
For athletes of foreign associations, as long as they can win the national table tennis players, especially the main players, it is quite glorious, and the national table tennis players will be criticized as long as they lose a foreign war, all of which stem from the strength of the national table tennis. People who have been standing on the spire, as long as they take a step down, will make people feel that you have regressed.
