On October 18, the table tennis championship was in full swing and ushered in the most intense penultimate day.
This day is not only the final stage for each team to show their strength, but also the day for the qualification of the team finals that fans are waiting for with bated breath.
On the field, every swing and every shout embodies the sweat and dreams of the athletes for months or even years; Off the field, the cheers of the audience came and went, adding infinite passion to this table tennis feast.
Men's team: The strong showdown, who will compete?
With the first rays of sunshine in the morning, the quarterfinals of the men's team competition officially kicked off.
At 9:00, when the referee's whistle blew, the air was filled with tension and anticipation.
In the first half, the Shanghai team seemed to be an unstoppable torrent, sweeping the opponent with an overwhelming advantage.
Xu Xin's comeback has undoubtedly injected a boost into this team, and his experience, technology and the spirit of not admitting defeat have become the most solid backing for the Shanghai team.
Coupled with Fan Zhendong, who has already broken into the quarterfinals in singles, the two joined forces to make the road to the top half of the Shanghai team almost unimpeded.
Of course, the absence of Liang Jingkun of the Hebei team greatly reduced their strength, and they could only regrettably stand in the shadow of a strong enemy.
In the lower half, it's a different story.
The duel between the Beijing team and the Shandong team is known as "Mars hitting the earth".
Although the Beijing team lacked the absolute main force such as Ma Long and Wang Chuqin, they relied on the tacit understanding and tenacious fighting spirit of the team to gnaw this tough battle from the hands of the Guangdong team.
On the other hand, the Shandong team has a balanced strength, whether it is singles or doubles, they have the strength to win the championship, their goal is to aim for the championship, and they are not afraid of any opponent.
In the blink of an eye, it was the semi-final session in the afternoon, and the bell rang at 16:00, and the battle escalated again.
At this point, every point on the field becomes crucial.
The absence of some of the main players made the game full of uncertainty.
But it's this uncertainty that makes the game even more exciting.
Fans were talking about which team would rise in the face of adversity and which team would be able to hold their ground, and the last laugh would be heard.
When it comes to the favorites for the championship, the Shanghai team is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights.
With Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin, two world-class players, they have almost booked a seat in the final in advance.
But the charm of sports lies in its unpredictability, and any team can become a dark horse and rewrite history.
Women's team: Women don't let their eyebrows go, and the road to the championship is also bumpy
A little later than the men's team, the women's team 1/4 finals also started on time at 11:00.
Compared with the men's team, the women's team is also exciting, but a little more delicate and soft.
In the first half, the Jiangsu team has become the focus of attention with its profound heritage and strong lineup.
They advanced to the knockout stage with almost all victories in the group stage, showing strong dominance.
Although the Beijing team and the Hunan team have good strength, under the pressure of the Jiangsu team, it is not easy to advance.
In the second half, it is a contest between the Liaoning team and the Shandong team.
With the integrity of the lineup and the tacit cooperation of the players, the Liaoning team has been advancing all the way.
The Shandong team, due to the lack of Chen Meng, a core player, has greatly reduced its strength.
Although the other members of the team tried their best, they still seemed powerless in the face of the strong Liaoning team.
The women's semi-finals at 18:00 are more like a preview of the final staged in advance.
Each team has shown their housekeeping skills, hoping to leave their footprints on this stage.
Similar to the men's team, the women's team has also been affected by the absence of some key players.
The absence of Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Chen Meng not only damaged the strength of their respective teams, but also made fans feel a little regretful.
But sportsmanship is all about constantly challenging yourself and pushing your limits.
The suspense of the women's team winning the championship is greater than that of the men's team.
Liaoning team and Jiangsu team, as the two strongest teams, can create dazzling sparks every time they collide.
Other teams, such as Beijing and Hunan, are also trying to find opportunities, hoping to stand out in this "Three Kingdoms Killing".
Doubles: Key battles, the final word
In the team competition, the importance of doubles is self-evident.
It is not only the first game of the team competition, but also a litmus test of the morale and strength of each team.
Weak teams want to upset and beat strong teams, and the doubles link is undoubtedly their best breakthrough.
And the duel between strong teams, doubles has become the key to determining the direction of victory or defeat.
As a result, each team has fielded their strongest doubles pairs, hoping to take the lead in this link.
Focus: The demeanor of famous generals, shining in the audience
When it comes to this game, I have to mention the demeanor of those famous players.
Needless to say, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin's performance in the men's team has become the most reliable scoring point of the Shanghai team with their excellent skills and stable psychology.
In the women's team, the rise of young players such as Wang Yidi and Chen Xing is also eye-catching.
They not only have excellent technical strength, but also have the fighting spirit of not admitting defeat.
On the field, they dare to challenge themselves, have the courage to take responsibility, and have become the absolute main force in their respective teams.
Conclusion: The men's team competition has reached the critical moment of the semifinals, which is really full of gunpowder.
In the first half of the day, the Shanghai team was very strong.
Especially after Xu Xin came back, he felt that the temperament of the whole team had changed, and every player had a hard work in his eyes, as if he had a motor that never stopped.
Fan Zhendong doesn't need to say, everyone knows that level, when the two are together, the Shanghai team's game has become a show for the two of them, and there is almost no room for others to get involved.
On the other hand, in Hebei, as soon as Liang Jingkun was absent, the team felt that there was no backbone, although everyone was working hard, but there was still a lack of pressure on the formation, and the gap was gradually opened up by Shanghai.
Looking at the second half of the afternoon, the battle between Beijing and Shandong, it was really nerve-wracking.
Here in Beijing, although the main players are not there, the rest are good brothers who have been trained together, and that tacit understanding is not comparable to ordinary teams.
Playing that game with Guangdong, it was difficult to watch, one by one was so tired that they seemed to have been fished out of the water, and in the end, they won the victory with tenacity.
Looking at Shandong again, it is a neat lineup, each of which can pick the lead, and there are champions in singles and doubles.
When the two teams met, they knew that it would be a fierce battle, and everyone tensed the strings, waiting for the big horn to blow and rush forward to fight.
