Rome wasn't built in a day, and Ito didn't become stronger in a day. So when did she never get into trouble? From being easily swept by Liu Shiwen in the final of the 2016 Asian Cup to giving his opponent two consecutive defeats, what changes has Ito undergone in technology? How did she get stronger step by step? Let's also analyze it in detail.
Ito's playing style is not innate or original, but inherited from the former Japanese sister Ai Fukuhara. The two men are of similar height and play in the same way. If fans carefully observe Ito's early videos, in addition to the fact that Ito's backhand bounce is slightly more powerful than Ai Fukuhara, all of Ito's technical actions and characteristics are almost a copy of Ai Fukuhara. At this stage, Ito is in the period of "backhand play + forehand pull". More impressive was the 2015 Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, where 15-year-old Ito took on Olympic champion Li Xiaoxia. In the game, Ito Mimakoto had the potential to come and not refuse, and when he came up, he relied on the backhand raw rubber bullet to frequently tear open Li Xiaoxia's defense line and achieved a 2:0 lead. After Realizing that the opponent's backhand was very characteristic, Li Xiaoxia then attacked her forehand with a powerful arc ball, which turned the situation around and finally won 4:2.
In the final of the 2016 Asian Cup, Ito mimakoto ushered in a duel with the "queen of speed" Liu Shiwen. At that time, Ito's backhand bounce dared to strike during the confrontation. However, in the serve-catching link, it is only in the stage of rubbing, bumping and splitting, and the first board attack does not dare to bounce up as brazenly as it is now. For this style of play, Fukuhara Ai, who has been playing with Liu Shiwen for many years, has almost lost his entire career as a loser under Xiao Zao. Therefore, liu Shiwen beat Ito Mimakoto according to the way of playing Fukuhara Ai, and very easily defeated her opponent 4:1. Through the tricks of Li Xiaoxia and Liu Shiwen, two major table tennis masters, Ito Realized that Taking the road of Fukuhara Ai again is basically a dead end, and she must change.
Ito is a very clever player, and after several defeats, she realized that the Ability of the Japanese Women's Team to pull the arc with the forehand was completely unable to compete with the Chinese team. Chen Meng, Li Xiaoxia and other players have great strength and strong rotation, and it is very difficult to pull their arc balls. Moreover, the Japanese team is not tall, the area of the platform is limited, if the Chinese team spreads the angle on both sides, the situation is even more unfavorable to themselves. As a result, Ito evolved to the next stage. That is, "backhand combat + forehand beat"! At this time, Ito Mimachi is almost in the stage of crazy attack, because the fight is not dominant, how to fight is also a death, then it is better for me to kill you first.
In terms of the backhand, Ito changed the previous rubbing, swinging, and bumping, and changed to violent bouncing from the first board, and after creating opportunities at the pop-up angle, she no longer pulled the arc ball like Ai Fukuhara had done against the Chinese team before, but stood on the near stage and used her forehand to buckle and beat violently! Because raw glue does not eat rotation, Ito often occupies the advantage of receiving hair and grabbing attacks on the first three boards, and her raw rubber bullets hit the ball low, flat, strange and forehand violent force, making it difficult for Chinese players to use the arc ball to pull back. At this stage, Ito Mimakoto is invincible, why do you say so? Due to the unreasonable crazy fight, although Ito grabbed the opportunity to attack, her turnover rate was also very high. This blind pursuit of speed and fierce fighting rhythm instead made Ito Mimachi appear to kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand. Therefore, Ito Yoshimachi has begun the next stage of transformation!
In order to improve the stability and rationality of his own fighting, Ito Mimachi also chose to "retreat for further study". First of all, she made a lot of changes in the serve, which was simply spawned overnight. Like Zhu Yuling playing against her twice, eating as many as 14 serves from Ito Mimachi in four innings! Sun Yingsha lost to Ito 4-2 at the 2019 Swedish Open, which was a big loss in the serve. After the game, the "Little Devil" himself said: "After the fight, I will not pick up her serve." Secondly, Ito combined the serve with her backhand and forehand beat more closely. In the various techniques of table tennis, the serve link is the link that he can control, Ando uses his combination of long and short, extremely exaggerated "spread the pie" style serve, to create more offensive opportunities for his forehand and backhand.
The reason why we played with Ito was difficult to understand, and the victory or defeat was unpredictable, because we couldn't grab her on the first three boards, and often let her shoot you can't pull out your hand, until after the fourth and fifth boards of the stage, there is no chance to hold each other. Once she has a high percentage of shots in the first few boards, you are likely to be led by her 2-0, 3-0 scores. Third, Ito's ability to hold the ball has indeed increased. At the 2019 Swedish Open, Chen Meng was beaten 3:0 by Ito, although Chen Meng finally reversed the game by relying on his strong stalemate ability.
But we should also see that in addition to Ito's first three board fights, he can often play with Chen Meng to more than six or seven boards in the stalemate link. This shows that Ito's ability to hold the ball is really very improved. The backhand can be continuously and violently struck, and there is a diagonal + straight line change; the forehand violent arc circle ball does not hesitate, and enhances the routine of the sideways forehand rush. It should be said that In the era of big balls, Ito Mimachi really played the specialty of raw glue to the fullest.
From a backhand flick to a fresh move, to the crazy fight of "two-sided shooting", to the current serve to grab the "combination punch", Ito Mimachi is improving every day. In chen meng's words: "Every time I play with her, it feels different, and something new will pop up." "It's not terrible to have an opponent who is as cunning and fickle as this, it's terrible that we haven't had an opponent all along. This is just a game of foxes and hunters, and even if you are smart, it is difficult to change the birth defects of raw glue. Do you think Ito's playing style has remained unchanged since his debut? Has she undergone some evolutionary upgrades? Do you agree with the above analysis?
