Ping Pong myth busted? The Chinese women's table tennis Asian Championships lost to the island country
The Chinese women's table tennis team lost to the island team team in the team final of the 2024 Asian Championships, and the news exploded like a bomb in the table tennis world. The "ping pong myth" that we are proud of has been shattered like this? Could it be that the island nation team is really good enough to beat our flagship player? Or is there something wrong with our team?
It was a big surprise. Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi, the two top and fourth players in the world, were actually planted in the hands of Zhang Benmeihe, a player from the island country. At the award ceremony, our team members all drooped their heads, and their expressions were full of "I can't believe it". This picture is really distressing to watch!
From heaven to hell, what has Chinese women's table tennis experienced?
Speaking of which, our Chinese women's table tennis is the "winning general" in the table tennis world. When it came to Chinese women's table tennis in the past, it was an existence that could win the championship with your eyes closed. But why did it overturn this time?
Looking back on this game, it's like a nightmare. Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi, the two main players, who do they usually fight and make people doubt their lives? As a result, this time I met Zhang Benmeihe of the island country, and I missed again and again. Especially Sun Yingsha, where is the usual fierce energy? It's like I haven't eaten, and I see people in a hurry.
The most puzzling thing is that our head coach Ma Lin didn't go to the award ceremony. What's going on? Is it because you can't afford to lose? Or is there something hidden? This can leave a handle for the outside world.
Interestingly, there was a lot of excitement on the Internet after the game. Some people say that the new ball is not adaptable, some people say that the players are not in good shape, and some people say that the island team secretly practiced some "devil training". These statements sound quite plausible, but which one is the truth?
What kind of panacea did the island nation team take?
To be honest, the island team really taught us a lesson this time. Zhang Benmei and this girl fought so hard that they were a tiger. Looking at her fierce appearance, she really looks a bit like Zhang Yining back then. Could it be that the island nation team has really found a secret to dealing with us?
It is said that the island national team has worked hard in recent years. They not only invited high-level foreign coaches, but also specialized in studying the Chinese team's playing style. They seem to have adapted to the new ball this time faster than us. Coupled with the home battle, the momentum is simply full.
I have to say that the island team is really a slap in the face for us this time. The rate at which they are progressing, to be honest, is a bit scary. If this development continues, will we still be able to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai in the future?
After losing, where should Chinese women's table tennis go?
This defeat is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Chinese women's table tennis. The "ping pong myth" that we are proud of seems to have been shattered all of a sudden. So the question is, how should we deal with this situation?
You have to face the problem. Don't look at the fact that we used to win more and lose less, but that doesn't mean we will never lose. The fact that the island team can win shows that they do have two brushes. Let's take a good look at it and see where they are strong.
You have to adjust your mindset. It's not terrible to lose, it's terrible to can't afford to lose. Hopefully, the players can learn from this defeat and adjust their form to prepare for the next competition.
Let's talk about the coaching staff, Ma Lin didn't go to accept the award this time, which is indeed a bit inappropriate. As a manager, you should be with your players whether you win or lose. At this time, he needs to encourage the players. I hope it can be improved in the future.
Is table tennis still China's national sport?
To be honest, it was a bit of a panic to lose this time. Is the table tennis we have always been proud of really going to be overtaken by others?
In retrospect, we didn't invest much in table tennis. From the selection of talents to scientific training, it can be said that no effort has been spared. But now it seems that hardware alone is not enough, but also soft power.
Some people say that this time we lost because our players were too tired. Indeed, in order to prepare for the Olympic Games, our team members have been competing a lot this year. But then again, aren't the island nations team tired? How can people win?
Actually, it's not terrible to lose a game, it's terrible to lose the motivation to keep going. I hope this defeat can be a good medicine for us, so that we can re-examine ourselves and find the direction of progress.
Summary: Failure is the mother of success?
This time, the Chinese women's table tennis team lost to the island team at the Asian Championships, which really sounded the alarm for us. But is it really at the end of the day? I don't think so.
As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. This defeat may be an opportunity for us to start anew. We have the world's high-end players and a strong reserve force, as long as we can adjust in time and find the problem, I believe that the Chinese women's table tennis can still return to the top.
But then again, this loss also reminded us that others are improving, and we have to keep up! Table tennis is a project, but we can't make people think that we have exhausted our talents. You say, don't you?
