Astound!
14-year-old Iran teenager Benjamin · Faraj staged a big comeback in the Asian Championship men's team quarterfinals, defeating China's Wang Chuqin 3-2.
This match is like a fairy tale of David defeating Goliath!
Who would have thought that a child who has not yet reached the age of high school would be able to overturn the gold medalist of the Chinese team on a big stage like the Asian Table Tennis Championships?
It's even more surprising than seeing a baby mouse scare away an elephant!
This match can be said to be small fresh meat against old bacon.
Benjamin · Faragui, whose name sounds like a character popping out of One Thousand and One Nights, plays out a real-life version of the myth on the table.
And Wang Chuqin, as the new generation of the main force of the Chinese table tennis team, originally came to abuse vegetables, but he didn't expect to be abused by vegetables.
At the beginning of the game, Wang Chuqin may still be thinking: Isn't this just a little kid?
I just played and won.
As a result, I didn't expect that this little kid not only played the ball well, but also had a good psychological quality.
When Wang Chuqin found out that things were not simple, I was afraid it was already too late.
Benjamin · Faraghi behaved like a nimble little monkey in front of the table.
He jumped left and right, rushed forward and retreated, shaking Wang Chuqin dizzy.
Wang Chuqin may have muttered in his heart: Did this kid secretly drink ten cans of Red Bull?
How can you jump so much?
And Benjamin · Faragui's serve is even more dazzling.
The ball flew out of his hand, as if with magic, making Wang Chuqin scratch his head.
Sometimes the ball falls like a dragonfly in front of the net, and sometimes it goes straight to the edge of the table like a cannonball.
Wang Chuqin may want to ask: Children, did you secretly learn Harry Potter's magic class?
The turning point of the match came in the third game.
At that time, Wang Chuqin led 2-1 and was about to win the game.
But Benjamin · Faraghi suddenly broke out and hit a small 7-0 surge.
This is like suddenly turning on the invincible mode in the game, beating Wang Chuqin so much that he can't find the north.
In the last game, the two sides played inextricably.
The score is chasing me, and the audience on the sidelines is about to bite their lips.
At the last moment, Benjamin · Faraghi seemed to open some hidden skill and scored three points in a row to seal the victory.
When the last ball hit the ground, the whole court was stunned.
This game is a fairy tale turned into reality!
A netizen commented: I was so excited to see this game!
Benjamin · Faraghi is simply the Harry Potter of table tennis, beating adult wizards on the Quidditch pitch at a young age.
I think his success is not only a technical breakthrough, but also a victory of mental quality.
Think about it, what a strong heart it takes for a 14-year-old child to be able to stay calm and win in the face of an adult player from a table tennis powerhouse!
It reminds me of Malone back then, who had experienced a similar breakthrough when he was younger.
We are witnessing the birth of a new table tennis legend!
The result of this game undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the Chinese team.
The Chinese team, which has always been the top player in table tennis, now seems to be less secure in Diaoyutai.
It's like a high-spirited peacock who suddenly finds that his proud tail has been pecked by a small sparrow.
This feeling is probably worse than eating a fly.
We can't jump to conclusions just because of a loss.
There are other players in the Chinese team.
Maybe in the next game, the Chinese team will fight back like a cat that has been stepped on its tail.
We'll see!
Some netizens said: Although Wang Chuqin lost this game, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.
Sometimes, defeat teaches us more than victory.
It's like in a game, only when you encounter a powerful boss can you force yourself to level up and learn new skills.
This bout could be a turning point in Wang's career, allowing him to recognize his shortcomings and inspire even more fighting spirit.
I believe that when he digests the lessons of this defeat, he will definitely come out stronger.
The match was also a wake-up call for the rest of the Chinese squad not to take any opponent lightly.
Perhaps, this will make the entire Chinese team more united and work harder.
I am still full of confidence in the future of the Chinese team!
On the other hand, this game also showed us the charm of table tennis.
Who said table tennis is just the back garden of the Chinese?
Look at Benjamin · Faraghi, who was able to make a splash at the Asian Championships at the age of 14, which shows that table tennis is becoming popular all over the world.
This is undoubtedly good news for promoting the development of table tennis.
Imagine if all countries in the world could emerge with a talented teenager like Benjamin · Faraghi, wouldn't the table tennis game be as exciting as a roller coaster?
When the time comes, watching a table tennis match may make people's hearts beat faster than watching football!
A netizen commented: I think the rise of Benjamin · Faraghi is a great thing for the entire table tennis sport.
This proves that table tennis knows no borders, no matter age, as long as there is talent and hard work, anyone can become a star of tomorrow.
The emergence of this 'dark horse' will make young people in more countries and regions interested in table tennis.
Come to think of it, there may be countless children who are excited to pick up their rackets and start practicing after watching this game!
This will not only promote the globalization of table tennis, but also make the game more exciting and unpredictable.
As a table tennis fan, I can't sleep with the excitement of future competitions!
Returning to this game, we have to admire the mental quality of Benjamin · Faraghi.
At the age of 14, he behaves like a seasoned veteran against strong opponents.
This makes people wonder: Did this child usually practice this skill when playing games?
Benjamin· Faraj's performance also taught us a lesson: age is really just a number.
When you have the strength, even if the opponent is a head taller than you and has eaten ten years longer than you, you can still beat them all over the ground.
This is simply a realistic version of the gourd baby vs. the snake spirit!
We also want to remind Benjamin · Faraghi that the proud army will be defeated.
Don't get carried away if you win this time.
You know, in the world of table tennis, today I eat fish, tomorrow you eat fish soup, this kind of thing is common.
Some netizens said: I think the success of Benjamin · Faraghi has given all young people an important lesson: never set limits for yourself.
Many times, we always feel that we are too young and inexperienced to challenge those seemingly impossible goals.
But Benjamin · Faraj tells us with practical actions that as long as you dare to think and fight, nothing is impossible.
This spirit is not only applicable to sports, but also to study and work.
I hope that every young person can be inspired by him and be brave enough to pursue their dreams.
I also hope that Benjamin · Faraj will continue to be humble and enterprising, and not be carried away by momentary success.
In competitive sports, maintaining a consistently high level of performance over a long period of time is the most valuable.
Let's look forward to the next games.
How will the Chinese team adjust its strategy?
Can Benjamin · Faraghi continue his magical performances?
The answers to these questions may not be even the most powerful fortune tellers.
