Another 11-to-0. In the 2021 Table Tennis Super League Shenzhen University against Heilongjiang Yingfutai in this team match, Sun Yingsha, who played in the fourth game, won three consecutive sets in the case of losing one set first, of which the second set of the little devil felt hot and burst, directly shaving the opponent's 11-0 bald head, triggering heated discussion among netizens.
Sun Yingsha's opponent is Heilongjiang's 20-year-old young player Qi Fei, the first set Sasha was caught off guard by Ziffy 11-6, the second set Sasha quickly entered the state, mercilessly 11-0 to color, the opposite of the table Ziffy helplessly took over the "shaved head" ending. Sasha then won two more consecutive sets to help Shenzhen win 3-1.
In the foreign war, the national table tennis has an unwritten agreement, when the score of a game appears 10-0, in order to take care of the opponent's emotions, but also show respect for the opponent, often deliberately lose the ball when serving, or deliberately send the opponent 1 point when receiving the opponent's serve, to avoid an embarrassing score of 11-0.
Examples abound. For example, the devils Zhang Yining and Li Xiaoxia conceded the ball to Ai Fukuhara at the Beijing Olympic Games and the Rio Olympic Games respectively, Zhu Yuling conceded the ball to Ito In the fourth round of the women's singles of the 2017 World Table Tennis Championships, and Wang Chuqin gave the ball to Zhang Benzhihe in the third set of the 2018 Argentine Youth Olympics Table Tennis Men's Singles Final.
But from 2019 onwards, the practice of letting go of the ball seems to be looked down upon, and the 11-0 layer of window paper was first broken by a person, she is Liu Shiwen. In the world table tennis championships in Budapest, Hungary, in April of that year, Liu Shiwen beat her teammate Ding Ning in the semi-final and defeated her teammate Chen Meng in the final to reach the top.
Coincidentally, the final score of these two matches was Liu Shiwen's 4-2 victory, and what was more coincidental was that in the same fifth set, Liu Shiwen gave Ding Ning and Chen Meng an embarrassing score of 11-0.
After Liu Shiwen explained the two 11-0: "There is no hard rule that you can't play 11-0, secondly, the opponent is very strong, you don't dare to relax in the slightest, and third, such a score is also respectful of the opponent." ”
The window paper of the "let the ball" was broken by Liu Shiwen, and people gradually accepted the embarrassing score of 11-0. A month later, in the second round of the men's singles of the 2019 Table Tennis Championships, Fan Zhendong also played an 11-0 score against Slovakia's Pistje, this time everyone seemed to be strange, the opponent said: "Nothing, nothing special, the score of 11-9 or 11-0, is an ordinary score." ”
When the table tennis game is played 10-0, does the leader have to concede the ball? The answer seems to already exist, and that is that the conventional practice of letting the ball be swept into the garbage heap of history. Players no longer have to dwell on the annoyance of whether to let go of the ball, and play how they want to play.
