Table tennis is back! Fan Zhendong is in a desperate situation, Zhang Benzhihe amazes the world, where is the road to the construction of China's table tennis echelon?
When the spotlight on the small ping-pong table at the Paris Olympics was spotlight, a showdown that would go down in history was quietly staged. Fan Zhendong, the leading figure of Chinese table tennis, and Tomokazu Zhangmoto, a rising star of Japan, staged a thrilling 7-game battle on the stage of the men's singles round of 8.
4 to 3, the moment the score was frozen, the whole stadium seemed to be ignited, and Fan Zhendong once again proved the legend of "The Return of the King" with his incredible reversal. But there's more to it than that......
Before the third game, Fan Zhendong's simple move - leaving the court to change his jersey caused an uproar on the Internet. Some say it's a tactical adjustment; Some guess, it's a psychological tactic.
And I prefer to believe that this is a profound dialogue between him and himself, a demonstration of his indomitable willpower in the face of desperate situations. As netizen "Ping Pong Fan" said: "Fan Zhendong, what you change is not a jersey, but a mentality, and the courage to be reborn!" ”
Looking back on Fan's career, every challenge seems to be a catalyst for his growth. From becoming the youngest world champion in history at the age of 17 to turning the tide at the Paris Olympics, he has written his legend with one victory after another.
But what shines even brighter than victory is his never-say-die spirit in the face of adversity. As he himself said: "The game is not over, there is always a chance." This sentence is not only a spur to myself, but also an encouragement to all athletes.
On the other hand, although Wang Chuqin's defeat was regrettable, his attitude won everyone's respect. After the game, he gave Fan Zhendong a thumbs up, which was not only an affirmation of his teammates, but also the best interpretation of team spirit. In this highly competitive arena, although victory or defeat is important, the mutual support and encouragement of teammates is the driving force for them to keep moving forward.
As netizen "Ping Pong Love" commented: "Wang Chuqin's defeat is a pity, but his demeanor is even more admirable, this is the strength of the Chinese table tennis team." ”
And Tomokazu Zhang's performance is undoubtedly another highlight of this feast. At just 21 years old, he has been able to compete with China's top players, and even pushed the competition to the edge of the cliff at one point. His speed, power and varied style of play have wowed audiences around the world.
The rise of Tomokazu Zhang has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the Chinese table tennis community - while enjoying the glory, we must face up to the training of young players and the construction of echelons.
In recent years, Chinese table tennis seems to have entered a bottleneck period in the emergence of young talents, and the success of Tomokazu Zhang is undoubtedly a direct challenge to this status quo. How to break the routine, innovate the training model, and let more young talents stand out has become an urgent issue in front of the Chinese table tennis team.
As veteran coach Li Guihe said, "The emergence of Tomokazu Zhang is both pressure and motivation, and it reminds us that we must speed up the pace and cultivate more young players with international competitiveness." ”
This game naturally sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some people applauded Fan Zhendong's reversal and praised him as "the superhero of table tennis"; Some people praised Wang Chuqin's demeanor and thought that he showed true sportsmanship; Some people have also expressed concern about the rise of Tomokazu Zhangmoto and called for strengthening the echelon construction of Chinese table tennis.
More netizens "Table Tennis Fengyun" proposed: "We should not only focus on the victory in front of us, but also look to the future and contribute to the sustainable development of Chinese table tennis." ”
When the smoke of the Paris Olympics gradually dissipated, the top 8 table tennis men's singles matches left us with thoughts that are far from over. Fan Zhendong's reversal victory shows us the power of tenacity and perseverance; Wang Chuqin's demeanor made us feel the warmth of team spirit;
The rise of Tomokazu Zhang has sounded the alarm for us, reminding us that while enjoying victory, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace and strengthen the training of young players and the construction of echelons.
Chinese table tennis, which has stood on the top of the world countless times, is facing new challenges and opportunities. But we have reason to believe that with its profound historical heritage, strong team strength and spirit of continuous innovation, Chinese table tennis will continue to write a brilliant chapter on the road in the future.
As the old saying goes: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one generation is stronger than the next." "Let us look forward to a more brilliant tomorrow for Chinese table tennis!
