Traditional straight final

On March 30th, all seven events in the table tennis preliminaries of the National Games ended, and all competitions produced the promotion list of the final stage in September. Among them, mixed doubles and men's and women's doubles each produced 16 advanced players; There are 24 players in men's and women's singles; The men's team and the women's team have 12 teams respectively.

Manyu Wang made meritorious service and led the team to the third promotion.

In this qualifier, Manyu Wang is a model among table tennis players from many countries. She played for Heilongjiang team and participated in mixed doubles, women's doubles and women's team competitions. Among them, the women's team advanced first, mixed doubles partner Cao Wei and women's doubles partner Che Xiaoxi both ranked ninth, and successfully entered the finals. Manyu Wang, summing up his trip to the qualifiers, said that the new things he trained some time ago have been applied in this competition, and there are certain gains. Doubles and Xiaoxi are familiar with each other, so practice your right hand more when running. This is the first match against Cao Wei, and qualifying in the preliminaries is the first task. I hope there will be some progress in singles. There is still a period of time before the final. I need to practice my body, physical fitness and weight again, and I need to consume enough energy to keep up with the intensity of the schedule. Nowadays, the ball needs a lot of strength, and it requires a lot of rounds and quality. Compared with others, I am still too thin.

The collective decline of direct play

The penhold is a tradition of table tennis, but with the reform of table tennis equipment, the penhold players are declining. In the men's and women's singles final, only three of the 24 men's singles players are straight players, ranking before 16, and only the king of Guangxi team. The other two straight players, Xu Haidong of Liaoning team and Yan Sheng of Sichuan team, were ranked in the final stage 19 and 20 respectively. In women's singles, among the 24 players, only Wu from Tianjin and Zhejiang advanced, both of whom were out of 16.

I have to say that the Chinese Table Tennis Association has made great efforts to guarantee the straight shot. In this game, each team must have a special player. But unfortunately, from the beginning of the grass-roots coach, I have led the young players to practice the horizontal board game, because in today's table tennis field, the straight board game requires more talent for the players and has technical restrictions, so it is too difficult to make achievements. This also directly led to the straight players making mistakes from the seedling stage. Direct play may disappear in the professional arena in the next few years. It is a pity for the vast number of table tennis lovers.

The main performance is mixed.

In this qualifier, because many main players advanced to the final stage in advance, there were not many events. Chen Meng, a popular candidate city for the Olympic Games, even played a no-war card. He just came to Chengdu and felt the atmosphere of the game.

Fan Zhendong and Malone only participated in the men's doubles competition, and after one game, they "retired". Xu Xin, who only signed up for a group project, didn't play well. What's more, when the Jiangsu team was 2-0 behind, he temporarily retired because of a recurrence of shoulder injury. This makes fans worry about whether Guo Ping can win the gold medal in the mixed doubles at the Tokyo Olympics.

Liang Jingkun, who is also the main force of table tennis, had a big accident in this qualifier. Especially after losing to veteran Hou in the 20 18 all-around championship, he lost to the 4 1 year-old kitchen knife in this team competition. I have to say that his Achilles heel was caught by veteran Hou within three years, which is a problem that Liang Jingkun has to pay attention to. Fortunately, this is a civil war. If it is a foreign war, opponents can attack obvious weaknesses for a long time, and Liang Jingkun, who wants to go further in the world, will be entangled.

This qualifier was once regarded as a warm-up for a month and a half of closed table tennis training. But first, the number of appearances of the main players is not much, the general strength of opponents is not strong, and the inspection effect is not obvious enough. After that, Guo Ping will once again gather in Chengdu to prepare for the Olympic Games behind closed doors, and the China Games in May will be a highlight.

The referee became the "protagonist" of the game.

In this match, Shang Kun, who represented the Shanghai team, protested against Leng Dapeng and Sun Wen's serve violations. Although there is a possibility that the referee may not be able to judge whether the player's service is illegal, from the video playback, the two players do have the problem of irregular service. This has to attract the attention of relevant parties.

Shang Kun has been participating in the German Table Tennis League before, and European referees have been very strict in judging the service, especially in the international arena, top players, mainly the China Table Tennis Team, are observed with a magnifying glass. Perhaps it is because Shang Kun, who has played in Europe for too long, is a bit "acclimatized" and it is difficult to accept his opponent's illegal service.

The final of the National Games will be held in September, one month before the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games. It is expected that table tennis players will also work hard for their hometown after fighting for their country.
