In the summer heat, the war drums of the Paris Olympics have been quietly beaten, and with less than a month to go before the curtain is left, the athletes are ready to show their talents.
However, the focus of today's conversation is on the two stars of table tennis - Zhang Benmei and Zhang Benzhi and brother and sister.
They start their pre-match warm-up at 5 o'clock tonight in Sweden against Bergstrom and Magnus Magnus.
It's not just a race, it's more like a warm-up for the Olympics!
Now let's turn our heads and look at the national table tennis team, they chose a closed training camp this time, which is not a joke.
Closed training camp, that is, the iron door is closed, the mobile phone is turned off, it is like a paradise, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world has nothing to do with them.
Coach Liu Guoliang personally took charge and supervised the training, no, they were engaged in simulated battles one after another, as if they were really standing on the Olympic stage.
Over there, the Japanese team seems to be playing a different set, they choose to run around, participate in this international competition, that international competition, and leave their footprints in almost every corner.
This kind of strategy, don't you say? Obviously, you can train quietly at home, and you have to fly everywhere, this is not what it is to be tired.
But for the sake of their ability to constantly compete with masters from all walks of life, this strategy is also a shortcut to rapid growth.
Speaking of the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, today is not only the day of the competition, but also their birthday! Hey, don't say it, this athlete's life is not easy, and his birthday has to be spent on the field.
But it's also quite interesting, it's a birthday on the day of the game, and if you win, it's really a double happiness, if you lose...... Ahem, let's be optimistic, after all, who doesn't love the double joy of happy birthday plus victory?
Tomokazu Zhangmoto's competition schedule is quite full, men's singles, men's team and mixed doubles with Hina Hayata, each of these three events must not miss the slightest.
Although Zhang Benmeihe only participates in the women's team, the pressure is not small, after all, every point in the team competition is crucial.
Fans of the siblings are looking forward to their performance in Paris, after all, the names of Tomokazu and Miwa Zhang are already well-known in the international table tennis arena.
But then again, Tomokazu Zhang's world ranking and his sister's performances make for high expectations.
In addition, at the Paris Olympics, the matchup between the Chinese team and the Japanese team is definitely a highlight.
Every time there is such a major event, I don't know how many table tennis fans will stay up late in front of the TV, just to catch a glimpse.
In the end, whether it is the national table tennis team that is training in a closed camp or the Japanese team that is running around, their goal is the same - to achieve the best results in the Olympic Games.
As for the Zhang siblings, tonight's match is undoubtedly a big review of their form, and although we can't predict the outcome of the match, we can be sure that they will be in the best form and present a good game for the crowd.
So, let's wait and see what will happen in this pre-Olympic warm-up tournament and the upcoming Paris Olympics. After all, every competition is not only a battle of skills, but also a battle of wills.
In any case, it is hoped that all athletes will have a great performance, after all, it is not only for personal glory, but also for the honor of the country.
In other words, Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmei and the two brothers and sisters were in the warm-up match before the Paris Olympics, do you say they are under a lot of pressure? Not to mention a birthday, but also to face a group of fierce opponents, isn't this double pressure? Not to mention anything else, Zhang Benzhi and those three events ran faster than rabbits, even the triathletes had to nod and praise when they saw it, "Young man, it's delicious!" And although Zhang Benmeihe only plays in the girl group, this is not as easy as drinking tea and chatting, every point is like dancing on the tip of a knife, and if you are not careful, you have to "brush" and slide to the bottom.
I remember last year's Olympics, the confrontations between the Chinese team and the Japanese team were like blockbusters, and people were terrified to watch, and they didn't blink their eyes.
No, some netizens posted on the forum: "How much storm can Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmei set off at the Paris Olympics this time?" Their strength to block and cover the ground is really nerve-wracking! ”
As for the national table tennis team, closed training is like practicing internal skills, behind closed doors, and outsiders don't know anything.
Every time I turn on the TV and see Liu Guoliang's serious face, I know that this training is by no means a joke.
thinks about the domineering spirit of "if you dare to come, I dare to pick up" when he played by himself, but now as a coach, that stern energy is not less at all.
Some netizens left a message on Weibo: "What kind of team does Liu Guoliang want to build into the national table tennis?" Looking at their posture, they are determined to win the gold medal at the Paris Olympics and go home! ”
But when it comes to the Zhang brothers and sisters, their tactics and styles are becoming more and more mature.
Especially Tomokazu Zhangmoto, that young man seemed to be a different person on the field, and his eyes were full of flames of decisive battle.
Zhang Benmei and not to mention, she is like a lightning bolt on the field, coming and going like the wind, and the opponent may lose points even in the blink of an eye.
This kind of performance has made many table tennis fans addicted.
Someone in the forum commented: "Zhang Benmei and her agile pace and accurate judgment are really a headache for opponents, and her performance in the women's team may become the secret weapon of the Japanese team!" ”
And don't forget, the competition between the national table tennis team and the Japanese team is like a strategic battle every time.
You see, the national table tennis closed training camp, sharpening knives to pigs and sheep; The Japanese team was running around and was stretched to the limit, but they also had to hone their skills.
This is not like two martial arts masters, one is in retreat and practicing internal skills, and the other is walking in the rivers and lakes to practice external boxing.
When it comes to the Paris Olympics, it really depends on who has better swordsmanship and whose internal strength is more sufficient.
As for the birthday match of the Zhang Ben brothers and sisters, it has added a lot of highlights.
To win the contest on your birthday is the icing on the cake; If you don't win, it can only be considered a beautiful accident.
Some netizens joked in the live barrage: "Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmeihe are also considered to be two swords today?" Happy Birthday Meets Match Day, I hope this 'birthday gift' won't be too heavy! ”
So, this pre-Olympic warm-up match, as well as the upcoming Paris Olympics, is definitely a visual and psychological feast.
It is not only a contest of technology, but also a psychological confrontation.
Whether the Zhang brothers and sisters can win gold in Paris, and whether the national table tennis can continue to maintain its dominant position, all of these are full of variables and highlights.
But one thing is for sure, every athlete will be at their best and present one exciting match after another for the audience.
After all, who doesn't want to write their own legend on the Olympic stage?
