Tomotoshi Zhang and Hina Hayada spoke terrible after the game! It can be seen that people are really unwilling to be upset in the first round, but next, they all have their own plans.
In the Paris Olympics, table tennis has attracted the most attention from the Chinese people, after all, it bears the heavy responsibility of winning gold and the glory of defending the national ball! On the first day of the competition, the mixed doubles event has already begun! Because in terms of rules, there are only 16 teams participating in the competition, and each delegation can only register a maximum of one team, so the competition for this project is particularly fierce. Because the mixed doubles event of the last Olympic Games was the only event that the Chinese team missed. In this event, we vow to launch the most powerful impact and win the first Olympic gold medal in this event, and then pave the way for the completion of the five Olympic table tennis events.
Japan's ace combination, the world ranking has risen to 2nd! Tomokazu Jaimoto and Hina Hayada were aiming to defeat the Chinese team, but they were upset in the first round, losing to North Korea's Lee Jung-sik/Kim Qin-young with a score of 1-4.
In the first game, Japan was beaten by the opponent with an incredible 6-0, and the start was passive, and then injected unfavorable factors into the whole game. 5-11 in the first game and 4-11 in the third game, Japan fell behind 1-2 after three sets! As a result, the fourth and fifth games were not adjusted in place, and although a match point was saved, it was still a pity to be upset, staged a round of tours, and missed the top 8 of mixed doubles!
The pair were still looking forward to meeting China in the final, and Hayada was hoping to beat China in the mixed doubles event. In a series of pre-match interviews, Hayada said that the most promising event for Japan to beat China is mixed doubles. It turned out to be embarrassing.
After the upset, Tomokazu Zhang sat on the sidelines in a daze. In their post-match interviews, both men were frustrated, impressed by the North Korean pair's performance, and did not expect each other to perform so well. Hayada also mentioned that every time he attacked, he could be doubled by the opponent to respond. Zhang Ben reluctantly said that the matter has come to this point, and the next step is to prepare well for singles, make full technical and tactical preparations, and adjust his mentality immediately.
Hayata has the same plan, preparing seriously for singles and thinking about how to play at his true level.
