On July 29, 2024, in a tense mixed doubles semi-final, the Chinese table tennis pair Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin showed their tacit understanding and team spirit.
Before the game, according to the rules of international table tennis, athletes usually shake hands with the referee to show respect for the game and recognition of the referee's work. Such a simple ceremony is actually a manifestation of politeness and also makes the atmosphere of the game more formal. However, there was a slight hiccup in this competition. Chinese table tennis star Sun Yingsha seemed to have completely forgotten this before the match because she was so excited.
Sun Yingsha was engrossed in preparing to enter the game, and her movements were crisp and neat, completely unaware of the presence of the referee. The referee stood aside, patiently waiting for Sun Yingsha to stretch out her hand, only to find that she walked all the way and walked directly to the game table. For Sun Yingsha, this small mistake may be due to her concentration and eagerness, which she herself does not seem to realize. Fans in the stands, some noticed, others didn't care because of the excitement of the game.
At this moment, Wang Chuqin stood next to Sun Yingsha, he finished shaking hands with the referee and noticed Sun Yingsha's mistake. Wang Chuqin's reaction was very fast, he pretended to be sorting out his pants, and whispered to Sun Yingsha: "You haven't shaken hands yet." This sentence was soft and subtle, but it reminded Sun Yingsha clearly enough.
After Sun Yingsha heard Wang Chuqin's words, her face showed a trace of astonishment, but she quickly regained her composure. She immediately turned around, quickly ran back to the referee, and respectfully stretched out her hand to complete this important ceremonial gesture. Although this detail may seem insignificant, it shows Sun Yingsha's professionalism and her ability to respond in a timely manner. When the referee saw Sun Yingsha take the initiative to come over, he smiled and shook her hand in a friendly manner.
Some netizens discussed the matter on social media. Some netizens feel that Sun Yingsha is a top athlete after all, and the occasional little negligence is understandable: "Sun Yingsha is so nervous, anyone can make mistakes, Wang Chuqin's reminder at this time is really intimate." Another person said: "Wang Chuqin is really careful, and he can actually notice such small details before the game." Although Sun Yingsha forgot, she quickly adjusted, which shows that her professional level is still very high. ”
Halfway through the game, the atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense. The mixed doubles pair of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, although the cooperation was smooth at the beginning, Wang Chuqin's form began to have problems. His mistakes gradually increased, and he was clearly out of shape. This allowed their opponents, Korea, to seize the opportunity and take the lead in the score at one point.
Seeing Wang Chuqin's performance, Sun Yingsha did not rush to blame him or show it anxiously. She knows in her heart that there will inevitably be ups and downs in the game, and the key is how to adjust her condition. She gently patted Wang Chuqin's shoulder and stood quietly beside him, thinking to herself: No matter what happens, we have to face it together.
In the interval between the game, Sun Yingsha took the initiative to give Wang Chuqin some tactical suggestions. She knows very well that simple technical adjustments may not solve the problem, but more to help Wang Chuqin regain his self-confidence. She patiently explained some of the strategies for the Korean pair, trying to get Wang Chuqin to find his rhythm again. Sun Yingsha's voice is calm and firm, and she knows that her stability and support are of paramount importance to Wang.
In the sixth game of the game, the situation became even more tense. Wang Chuqin obviously felt the pressure, and his movements became a little impatient. Sun Yingsha saw it in her eyes and knew in her heart that she needed more encouragement at this time. She stood on the sidelines, waving her arms vigorously and shouting, "Don't worry, adjust and play your style." These simple words are not only encouragement, but also hope that Wang Chuqin can relax and refocus on the game.
At the critical moment, Sun Yingsha also made tactical adjustments. She pointed to a corner of the court and proposed a new playing strategy for Wang Chuqin. Although this suggestion seems simple, it is just right, which can help Wang Chuqin find a breakthrough under the opponent's offensive. Sun Yingsha's advice played a decisive role in the game, allowing Wang Chuqin to gradually regain his form.
Sun Yingsha's technical and tactical characteristics are very unique, and her playing style can be summed up in a few words: precise deployment, full Taiwan attack, see the move, efficient conversion, invisible changes, and pressure on the whole Taiwan. Speaking of her style of play, many fans find Sun Yingsha's on-court performance amazing.
For example, her precise control is especially evident in the game. Whenever Sun Yingsha stands on the table, she can always make the most accurate shot selection at the most opportune time. She knows each opponent's weaknesses inside out and can accurately deliver the ball to a position that is not easy for the opponent to reach. For example, in the last match, Sun Yingsha faced her opponent's powerful forehand attack, and she deftly used the accurate return of her backhand, so that the opponent had to move several times to receive the ball. Netizens said: "Sun Yingsha's accuracy is really amazing, I feel that every ball she sends out purposefully." ”
Her all-stage attack is equally eye-catching. Sun Yingsha didn't just rely on a strong attack on one side, but used the entire table to attack. This style of play allows her to apply pressure from any angle and make her opponent feel like there is nowhere to run. Some fans sighed: "Sun Yingsha's all-Taiwan attack is really deterrent, and I feel that she is an invisible threat standing on the stage." ”
Her ability to "see and dismantle" on the field is also impressive. No matter what the opponent's style of play is, she always adapts and reacts quickly. In a recent match, her opponent tried to disrupt Sun's rhythm with a quick serve, but she was always quick to adjust her strategy and fight back in the most effective way. Some netizens commented: "Sun Yingsha is simply a master of seeing moves, and her adaptability is breathtaking." ”
Sun Yingsha's efficient conversion is also one of her major characteristics. She is able to move quickly from defense to attack, quickly change the pace of her tactics, and put her opponents under tremendous pressure. This efficient transition allowed her to find her breakthrough quickly and effectively control the tempo of the match. One fan said: "Her transition was too fast, it was really a matter of a second, and the whole scene was controlled by her." ”
Off the field, Wang Chuqin's careful care is also touching. He not only reminded Sun Yingsha during the game, but also helped her pack her luggage and deal with some chores after the game. Sun Yingsha used her deep understanding and focus on table tennis to help Wang Chuqin improve his performance. The tacit cooperation and care between the two on and off the field further enhanced their spirit of cooperation.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated their Korea opponent 4:2 and successfully advanced to the final. The competition not only showcased their technical skills, but also highlighted their perfect chemistry in teamwork. The mutual assistance and support of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin has laid a solid foundation for them to compete in future competitions, and also laid a solid team foundation for them to compete for the world No. 1.
