On the afternoon of August 2, Beijing time, on the field of the Paris Olympic Games, the semifinals of table tennis singles are about to kick off, and this day's competition will undoubtedly attract the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. For national table tennis, this is not only a competition day, but also a contest of glory and challenge.
In the national table tennis women's singles, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng are ready to go, and their goal is very clear: to meet in the final and lock this precious gold medal for the national table tennis women's team. Netizens also had a lot of discussions about this, and some netizens said: "Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng's strength is there, as long as they play normally, it should be no problem to enter the finals." Another netizen responded: "Yes, both of them are in good shape, it depends on who can go further and win the championship." ”
In contrast, the situation in men's singles is a bit more delicate. With Wang Chuqin's unexpected exit in the men's singles round of 32, all the pressure fell on Fan Zhendong's shoulders alone. In the draw before the opening of the Olympic Games, the lower half of Fan Zhendong's district was recognized as the "deadliest half", and the fierce competition can be imagined. Some netizens sighed: "Fan Zhendong's pressure this time is really too great, I hope he can withstand it." Another netizen encouraged: "Fan Zhendong is a big-hearted player, he will definitely be able to turn pressure into motivation and bring us surprises." ”
In the next men's singles semi-finals, Fan Zhendong will face the host player Felix Lebrun. This match will undoubtedly be a tough one, and Felix Lebrun has already shown strong strength in his previous matches, beating Lin Yunru and last year's Tokyo Olympic men's singles bronze medallist Ocharov of Germany. Some netizens said worriedly: "Fan Zhendong's game is not easy to play, this France youngster's strength is too strong." But some netizens are full of confidence in Fan Zhendong: "I believe that Fan Zhendong will be able to defeat his opponent, he has rich experience in the game and strong strength." ”
The perfect fusion of the essence of traditional techniques and the ferocious style of modern fast attack has opened up a new path for the development of table tennis technology. Speaking of which, Xiaopang's style of play is simply a vivid "table tennis technical innovation lesson" for the opponent.
You look at the showdown of Xiaopang, there are several key points to grasp in terms of strategy. First of all, the first point, we must not slow down! This is not a joke, once you slow down and let the opponent press and fight, it will be uncomfortable. You have to grit your teeth from the very beginning, fight with your opponent with bayonets, and not give up a little gap. Some netizens said: "Chubby, you have to be like a tiger descending the mountain, and you have to give your opponent a dismount at the beginning!" ”
Then, the second point, don't leave the stage easily. Chubby, you have to nail it like a nail to the stage and let your opponent know that you are in charge of your territory. Play more forehand positions, this is your strong point, you have to use it. Some netizens ridiculed: "Chubby, the forehand position is your 'sweet spot', you have to make good use of it!" ”
Let's talk about the control of the ball in the table. This is a delicate job, you have to move the opponent back and forth between the left and right triangles, so that they can't figure out your routine. Some netizens made a move: "Chubby, you have to be like a magician, so that the opponent can't guess where your next ball will fly." ”
Suddenly attacking, this is also a big magic weapon for Chubby. You have to catch your opponent off guard when they least expect it. Some netizens said excitedly: "Chubby, your sudden attack is like lightning, you can crush your opponent in one go!" ”
Of course, the quality of the first three boards is also the key. Steady, accurate, and ruthless, these three words must be engraved in my heart. Stability, that is, you can't panic, you have to calm down; Accurate, that is, every ball must be hit on the point, and the opponent must not be allowed to have any respite; Ruthless means that you have to be hard, so that the opponent can feel your power. Some netizens emphasized: "Chubby, the first three boards are your 'killer feature', you have to use it well!" ”
Fan Zhendong's game is not only a big test of his personal skills, but also an important exploration of the development of table tennis skills. Every action he makes, every decision he makes, may become a classic case for latecomers to learn. Netizens also said: "Chubby, you are our pride!" Every game you play is a feast for us! "Fan Zhendong, you are the 'Big Mac' in the table tennis world, we are optimistic about you! ”…… Such voices are heard endlessly. It seems that the showdown of Xiaopang is not only a contest of technology, but also the cohesion of people's hearts!
In the upper half of the men's singles, with the unexpected exit of the top seed in the men's singles of the tournament, Wang Chuqin, players from foreign associations also saw an opportunity to make history. Sweden talent Moregard and Brazil's Hugo both have a chance to reach the men's singles final and create the best moments of their careers.

Another netizen sighed: "I really didn't expect Wang Chuqin to be out of the game so early, which also made the game more suspenseful." ”

Some netizens expressed their expectations for this game: "Chen Meng vs. Shen Yubin, this game should be very exciting."
