I. Introduction
Tomokazu Zhangmoto, a table tennis player who had high hopes from Japan, is now completely heartbroken. He and his partner were out of the first round. The family was even more tragically subjected to "cyber violence", and the angry voices of Japan netizens filled the Internet, "Go back to China!" ”
2. Review of the competition process
(1) The outstanding performance of the North Korean pair Lee Jung-sik/Kim Qin-young
North Korea's Lee Jung Sik and Kim Kim Kim have shown a high level of competition in every moment of the Circle. Their shots are simple and efficient, without a hint of unbridled fancy, and every swing is packed with power and precision. Whether it's an incoming ball at high speed or a complex spinning ball, they can quickly make accurate judgments and then shoot the ball back with just the right amount of power and angle.
When attacking, they worked together perfectly, with one attacking and the other quickly filling in for an unassailable offensive. When defending, they move nimbly, like agile dancers, and can always block the opponent's ferocious attacks at critical moments. Their outstanding performance not only made the opponent feel tricky, but also amazed the audience.
(2) The plight of the Japan pair Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata
However, Japan's Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata's performance in the match was in stark contrast to the North Korean pair. Tomokazu Haramoto's powerful smashes repeatedly caused the ball to go out of bounds due to excessive power, and his impatience became more evident after each turnover. Hina Hayata's return ball lacks variety and power, and is often easily predicted and successfully intercepted by opponents.
There also seemed to be a problem with their communication on the pitch, and the lack of cohesion led to the loss of many chances that could have been scored. In the face of the powerful offensive of the North Korean combination, they appeared helpless and unable to effectively organize an effective counterattack.
(3) The successive victories of the Korean combination and the psychological collapse of the Japan combination
As the match progressed, the North Korean duo relied on their consistent performance and excellent tactical execution to win key points in a row. They maintain a high level of focus and confidence in every round, not giving their opponents the slightest respite. On the other hand, the Japan pair, under the pressure of losing consecutive points, gradually collapsed their psychological defense.
Tomokazu Zhangmoto's expression changed from full of confidence at the beginning to anxious, and Hina's eyes also revealed despair and helplessness. They made more and more mistakes, stiffened their movements, and ended their Olympic journey in the first round.
3. Preparation before the Japan pair
(1) The strategy of avoiding the Chinese portfolio
Before the match, the Japan team carefully strategized to avoid the powerful Chinese pair. They put a lot of energy and research on how to avoid direct confrontation with the Chinese team, hoping to create more favorable conditions for themselves to advance in this way. This tactic shows contempt for other opponents. They focused too much on the Chinese team and ignored the strength and potential of players from other countries and regions, and were not fully prepared to deal with various situations.
(2) Zhang Benzhihe's smugness
Tomokazu Zhang's pre-match performances also revealed his overconfidence. He frequently made bold statements in front of the media, overestimating the strength of himself and his partner. This attitude of getting carried away may have subconsciously affected his mentality in the game, making him unable to stay calm and focused in the face of difficulties and challenges, which affected his technical performance.
Fourth, the gap between the media's predictions and reality
(1) Japan media's "God Prediction"
The Japan media were full of anticipation for the performance of their own mixed doubles pair before the match, and made a series of optimistic assessments known as "God Prediction". They firmly believe that Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata, with their excellent skills and tacit cooperation, can easily defeat various opponents and advance smoothly. These predictions are filled with blind confidence in their own competitors, but do not fully take into account the uncertainty of the match and the strength of other opponents.
(2) The embarrassing situation after the results are released
When the cruel reality of the first-round exit was in front of them, the Japan media instantly fell into extreme embarrassment. Their previous confident predictions are now a laughing stock, and they have to face public skepticism and criticism. This result not only made them lose credibility in their reports and comments, but also caused the entire Japan table tennis community to fall into reflection.
Fifth, the reaction of Japan netizens
(1) Criticism of Tomokazu Zhangmoto
Japan netizens expressed strong dissatisfaction and severe criticism of Tomokazu Zhangmoto's performance. They found Tomokazu Zhang's multiple mistakes in the match unforgivable, accusing him of a lack of consistency and focus. Many netizens believe that he failed to take due responsibility at the critical moment and lived up to everyone's expectations.
(2) The voice of reason
But there are also some sensible Japan netizens who have voiced different voices. They point out that the blame for the failure should not be placed solely on the individual athlete, but should be analyzed from the perspective of the whole team. There may be deficiencies and mistakes in the coach's tactical arrangement, pre-match preparation, and psychological counseling for the team.
6. Zhang Benzhihe's psychological problems
(1) The normality of mistakes in the competition
Looking back at Zhang Benzhihe's past competition experience, it can be found that too many mistakes have become a common problem for him. At critical moments, he often makes unnecessary mistakes due to nervousness or rush, which affects the outcome of the game.
(2) The problem of insufficient psychological quality
Zhang Benzhihe's psychological quality has always been his shortcoming. In the face of stress and adversity, it is difficult for him to quickly adjust his mindset and stay calm and focused. This makes his technical movements in the game easy to deform, and he can't perform at the level he usually trains.
7. The "mystery" of the North Korean team
(1) National policies lead to fewer opportunities to participate
Due to North Korea's domestic policies and resource allocation, the North Korean team has relatively few opportunities to participate in international table tennis events. This makes them full of mystery in the eyes of the outside world, and teams in other countries and regions have limited knowledge of their tactical style and technical characteristics.
(2) The unconventional play of Lee Jung-sik and Kim Qin-young
Lee Jung Sik and Kim Jin-young have a unique and flexible style of play, not following the usual routines. They are good at quickly adjusting their tactics according to the characteristics of their opponents and the actual situation of the game, making them elusive and difficult to deal with.
8. The performance of the Chinese team
(1) Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha's easy promotion
China's Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha showed absolute dominance in the competition and easily advanced all the way. They are highly skilled and well-matched, and they are impeccable in both attack and defence.
(2) Awareness and vigilance of the strength of the DPRK team
While paying attention to their own outstanding performance, the Chinese team also attaches great importance and vigilance to the strength of the North Korean team. The coaching team carefully studied the video footage of the North Korean team's matches, analyzed their tactical and technical characteristics, and was fully prepared for a possible encounter.
