We all know that table tennis is our national sport in China, and it is common for us to win gold medals in the Olympic Games for many years. But this time, it's good, a small racket will "shoot" our Wang Chuqin in a daze. The 24-year-old was in high spirits yesterday in the mixed doubles, but today he made a big mistake in the men's singles, falling from heaven to hell.
Speaking of which, Wang Chuqin lost this time, ostensibly because of a problem with the racket. But let's think about it carefully, there is still a bit of a doorway behind this. Tell me, a world-class player, can he not play at all with a different racket? This doesn't make sense. Besides, Wang Chuqin had defeated Moregard in 7 battles and 7 times before, why did he fall on his heels this time? It seems that the root of this problem has to be dug deeper.
I pondered that Wang Chuqin's biggest problem this time was his mentality. You think, I just won the mixed doubles gold medal yesterday, and I was in the right place, but my racket was broken. At this moment, my heart must be in turmoil. In addition, today is the Olympic men's singles competition, and the pressure is huge. When you are nervous and panicked, isn't this a problem?
To put it bluntly, Wang Chuqin is still too young, and his psychological quality is not strong enough. It's like a novice driver who has just gotten his driver's license, usually driving quite slippery, but when it comes to important occasions, it is easy to make mistakes when he is nervous. This kind of psychological quality problem is much more difficult to solve than technical problems.
But then again, this defeat was not a rare experience for Wang Chuqin. As the saying goes, eat a trench and grow a wisdom. This time, I will definitely deal with similar situations better. It's like the novice driver, running a few more long distances, experiencing a few emergencies, and slowly being able to practice.
But the problem now is that the men's team competition is about to start, and we are still counting on Wang Chuqin. Can this young man adjust in time? That's a big problem. If you want me to say, the national table tennis has to think of a way. Find a few psychologists to enlighten him, let his teammates enlighten him more, and in short, find a way to let him regain his confidence.
Some fans shouted that they wanted to replace Wang Chuqin with Liang Jingkun, which is a good idea, but unfortunately the rules don't allow it. Unless Wang Chuqin is really injured, this P card will not be used. Therefore, it is still up to Wang Chuqin to hold on.
At the end of the day, this defeat is also a wake-up call. It seems that our national table tennis still needs to put more effort into cultivating young players. Especially in the area of psychological quality, it is necessary to strengthen training. Otherwise, in the future, when encountering such an emergency, you will still be in a hurry.
Finally, I want to say to Wang Chuqin: Young man, don't be discouraged! This defeat is nothing, what we Chinese are best at is to get up from setbacks. Adjust your condition and perform well in the men's team competition, I believe you will be able to create miracles!
Life is like this, there are highs and lows, and the key is how to rise up in the trough. Wang Chuqin, the future of Chinese table tennis, we are all optimistic about you!
