In the world of table tennis, there is a game that takes everyone's breath away. This is not an ordinary competition, this is the Olympic women's singles final, and it is the pinnacle duel between the two queens of Chinese table tennis. Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, two names, two styles, but they have the same goal - Olympic gold medal. When the smoke cleared, Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha with a score of 4-2 and successfully defended her title. This match is not only a battle between winners and losers, but also a battle of skill and psychology, a game of experience and talent. Let's walk into this wonderful game together to see what determines the final victory and defeat, and what kind of inspiration does it bring us?
Chen Meng: The open-hanging mode is fully launched
4-2, this score seems unremarkable, but behind it is a thrilling battle. Chen Meng, the woman who won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, once again showed her strength this time. But this time, she didn't just win, she was just open!
From the beginning of the serve, Chen Meng showed a superb tactical level. Each ball seems to have been carefully calculated to hit the opponent's weak point. Her attack is staggeringly ferocious. The ball, like a GPS positioning system, can always find the most tricky corners of the table.
In the stalemate stage, Chen Meng showed amazing strength. Whether it's a forehand or a backhand, every shot is full of power and texture. The spectators in the stands probably couldn't help but shout: "Is this still a ball that can be played by humans?"
The most surprising thing is that Chen Meng's state doesn't seem to have even been expected by her coach Ma Lin. You see Liu Guoliang and Ma Lin sitting in the audience, their expressions are even more nervous than watching a suspense movie. I'm afraid they are also muttering in their hearts: "What kind of elixir did this girl take today?"
Sun Yingsha: Unexpected mistakes and mental fluctuations
On the other hand, Sun Yingsha, a player known as a "genius girl", performed a little unsatisfactory today. From the very beginning of the match, she looked a little caught off guard, as if she wasn't fully prepared.
Sun Yingsha's serve and attack have always been weapons that she is proud of. But today, this sword seems to be covered with dust. Her offense lost its sharpness and put herself in a passive position.
What's even more distressing is that at the critical moment, Sun Yingsha made some undeserved mistakes. led 9-7 in the fifth game, and the victory seemed to be in sight, but Chen Meng chased a few points and lost a good game. This kind of blow is a huge blow for any player.
In the sixth game, Sun Yingsha's mentality obviously fluctuated. She was able to maintain the lead at first, but after being tied in the middle game, her shots began to become unbalanced. The continuous mistakes completely collapsed the situation that had been hopeful.
This match once again proved that in the top game, mentality is no less important than skill. A slight fluctuation can make the victory pass you by.
Chen Meng's winning formula: generosity and patience
So, how did Chen Meng manage to maintain such excellent form in such an important match? The answer lies in her ball path choices and game strategy.
First of all, Chen Meng's ball is particularly "thick". This "thickness" does not refer to the volume of the ball, but to the mass and rotation of the ball. This kind of ball, which looks unremarkable, is extremely uncomfortable to catch, like hitting a ball filled with lead.
Secondly, Chen Meng showed amazing patience. She is not in a hurry or impatient, she just doesn't give Sun Yingsha a chance to play a short ball. This strategy directly limits Sun Yingsha's best fast attack.
What's even more powerful is that Chen Meng's mobilization ability is simply artistic. Her balls, sometimes before the point, sometimes after the point, sometimes left, sometimes right, mobilized Sun Yingsha as if she was dancing ballet.
In the end, Chen Meng's mind can be called a supercomputer. Each ball, seemingly carefully calculated, has a specific purpose. This kind of intelligent play is reminiscent of the layout of a chess master.
Deng Yaping's incisive comment: to the point
In this game, there is another figure that has to be mentioned, that is, Deng Yaping, a legend in the table tennis world. Her commentary can be said to add a lot to this game.
Deng Yaping's analysis of the strength of the two players can be described as three points. She not only affirmed Sun Yingsha's advantages, but also pointed out the key to Chen Meng's victory. This balanced analysis gives the audience a deeper understanding of the game.
"Sun Yingsha should strive for the first three boards to solve the problem, Chen Meng's hold is better, once he shoots more, Chen Meng will have more opportunities."
Deng Yaping's sentence can be said to be a breakthrough. Not only did she see the characteristics of both fighters, but she also gave tactical advice. This kind of insight is probably only possessed by veterans who have experienced countless big scenes.
What is even more admirable is that Deng Yaping found that Chen Meng's ball was "thicker" at the beginning of the game. This is by no means an afterthought, but a real vision. Her analysis of the players' technical, tactical and psychological changes allows us laymen to understand the doorway of the game.
Deng Yaping's commentary not only let us understand the game and athletes better, but also let us see how a real champion thinks about the game. This kind of explanation is the real "dry goods".
