In the hall of glory of table tennis, every duel is full of tension and passion, and every victory and defeat may become an eternal memory in the hearts of fans. However, when the joy of victory and the bitterness of defeat are intertwined, when personal emotions collide with the honor of the team, a "big battle" off the field is also quietly staged.
Recently, as the shadow of the defeat of the women's team at the Asian Championships hung over the Chinese table tennis team, a "mutual pinch" battle between fans of Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha once again drew the public's attention back to this controversial arena. What is the cause of this turmoil? How will it end? Let's walk into the "undercurrent" of the table tennis world.
In the stadium in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, the lights are bright and the voices are full of people. The women's team final of the 2024 Asian Table Tennis Championships is in full swing. However, for the Chinese table tennis team, what should have been a glorious match turned into a nightmare. Facing the strong Japan team, the Chinese women's table tennis team finally lost 1-3 and lost the precious gold medal. This defeat not only plunged the national table tennis women's team into unprecedented turmoil, but also threw a shock bomb in the hearts of fans.
In this match, world No. 1 Sun Yingsha and world No. 4 Wang Yidi were unable to withstand the fierce attack of Japan's 16-year-old rising star Miwa Zhangmoto and were defeated. And Chen Xingtong was also defeated by the experienced Miyu Hirano, which made the Chinese women's table tennis completely defeated in the final. This defeat is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the national table tennis women's team, and it also makes fans full of worries about the future of the team.
However, just when the team was at a low point, a "mutual pinching" battle about Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha's fans was quietly staged. It turned out that on the day of the women's team finals, Chen Meng did not appear on the field, but chose to post a photo of relaxing at the beach on her personal social media. The move quickly sparked heated discussions and controversy among fans. Sun Yingsha's fans have accused Chen Meng of choosing to enjoy a leisurely time alone when his teammates are trying their best to win glory for the country, believing that this is disrespectful to his teammates and fans.
"As an Olympic champion, Chen Meng chose to miss the game at a critical moment, which is a betrayal of his teammates!" A fan of Sun Yingsha wrote angrily on social media. Another fan said more directly: "Chen Meng is basking in the sun on the beach, and his teammates are bleeding and sweating on the field, this behavior is chilling!" ”
In the face of these accusations and attacks, Chen Meng's fans are naturally not to be outdone. They have stood up to defend Chen Meng, believing that Chen Meng has the right to choose her own way of resting, and she has not given up her love and pursuit of table tennis. A fan of Chen Meng responded on social media: "Chen Meng has given too much for the honor of her country, and she also has the right to enjoy her life outside of the competition. Those who accuse her, please ask yourself first, how much do you pay for table tennis? ”
This "mutual pinch" battle quickly fermented on social media, causing more attention and discussion among fans. Some people think that Chen Meng's behavior is really inappropriate, after all, as an Olympic champion and a member of the national team, she should cherish every opportunity to fight for the country even more. And some people think that Sun Yingsha's fans are too sensitive and extreme, and they have unnecessarily attacked and slandered Chen Meng.
"Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are both outstanding players in the Chinese table tennis team, and the friendship and competition between them is the charm of table tennis. Fans should look at this game and this turmoil more rationally, and not put their personal emotions above the honor of the team. A rational fan wrote on social media.
In this turmoil, we also have to mention a figure - Ma Lin, the head coach of the national table tennis women's team. As the leader of the team, Marin was under a lot of pressure after the defeat of the women's team. Not only does he have to find a breakthrough for the team technically and tactically, but he also has to provide psychological support and comfort to the players. However, in the face of the "mutual pinching" battle between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha's fans, Ma Lin also seemed a little helpless. He was well aware of the impact and harm of this turmoil on the team, but he could not find an effective solution in a short period of time.
"As a manager, I know the impact of this turmoil on the team. I will do everything I can to mediate and communicate so that the players can come out of the shadows as soon as possible and get back into training and playing. Ma Lin said in an interview. However, his words did not seem to quell the turmoil, and the controversy and discussion among fans continued.
- "As an Olympic champion, Chen Meng should cherish every opportunity to fight for the country even more. Her behavior was indeed disappointing. ”
- "Sun Yingsha's fans are too much! Chen Meng is also a member of the national team, and she also has the right to choose her own way of resting. ”
- "This turmoil is completely hyped up by the fans themselves. Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are both excellent players, and the friendship and competition between them is the real charm of table tennis. ”
- "Coach Marin should stand up and calm this turmoil so that the team can come out of the shadows as soon as possible."
In this "mutual pinching" battle between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha's fans, we saw the fans' enthusiasm and dedication to table tennis, as well as the jealousy and prejudice in human nature. However, no matter how this turmoil develops, we must not forget the fact that Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are both excellent players in the Chinese table tennis team, and they have both made great contributions to the national team and table tennis.
As fans, we should look at this game and this turmoil more rationally. Don't attack and denigrate other players and fans because of your personal preferences and biases. After all, table tennis is a team sport, which requires tacit understanding and cooperation between players, as well as the support and encouragement of fans.
Let us look forward to the Chinese table tennis team to achieve more brilliant results in future competitions, and also look forward to Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and other outstanding players can continue to write a new chapter for table tennis. After this turmoil, let us cherish the friendship and competition between each other even more, and jointly contribute to the prosperity and development of table tennis.
