On the evening of the 30th, the WTT (World Table Tennis League) World Cup final ended on Xinxiang, Henan. As in the previous WTT Macau championship, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin finally won the women’s singles and men’s singles championships.

After careful calculation, this time is only one week away from the last WTT event. Summing up the performance of this period of time, although the state of the players of the National Court has experienced ups and downs along with the intensive schedule, the dominant position of the “dream team” is still unshakable.

It is not too much to describe Wang Chuqin’s recent performance with “hot State”. The “post-00s” player has gradually shown his domineering.

After defeating Malone in the semi-final, Wang Chuqin attributed his victory to his good mentality. “The details of the game, including the understanding of the game, have a certain gap compared with brother long.” He said.

And Malone also concluded in social media, “I will go all out to finish every match and be satisfied with my performance. Of course, victory belongs to the better side.”

While we are delighted with the growth of young players, we also admire the persistence of senior generals.

　　When the opponent launches a “siege” against the National Security Council”

In the past two WTT events, the players of Guozhen faced the “siege” of multiple opponents such as Europe and Asia “.

Combined with the performance of the game, the women’s team of the national court played a more stable role. In the final of the Xinxiang WTT World Cup, four “golden flowers” of Chinese women’s singles, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manqi and Wang Yidi all advanced to the top four. The women’s team locked the women’s singles crown, Asian and third place in advance.

In the face of the old rival Japanese team, whether it is a single game or a team battle, the advantages of the national basketball team are all revealed. In the contest against ITO Meicheng, Wang Manji and Chen Xing did not give the opponent too many opportunities in the past few matches and easily won.

Compared with the women’s team, the men’s team, which is undergoing new and old alternation, has encountered greater challenges, especially in the match between Japan and Germany.

However, when the “explosion” really appeared on the players of the “dream team”, the fans gave encouragement and the players remained rational and calm.

Xinxiang WTT World Cup final, men’s singles 1/8 final, Lin Gaoyuan against German veteran Bohr, 2:3 regret defeat; Men’s singles 1/4 final, fan Zhendong, who ranked first in the world, was defeated by German player ocharov in the first round, and failed to advance with 2:3 defeat……

It can be seen that after the “back-to-back” battle, the players of Guoguan have been severely tested in physical fitness, psychology and other links.

“The slow entry and the failure to deal with the key scores are the main reasons for the defeat.” Fan Zhendong said this when talking about the cause of defeat. He admitted frankly that his overall performance was not good in the competition.

However, we are also very pleased to see that the players of Guozhen are actively mobilizing their own state. Chen Meng and Wang manzhang, who played poorly in the WTT Macau championship, recovered their previous level in the final of the Xinxiang WTT World Cup.

Competitive Stadium, good. However, learning from the “explosion” and sounding the alarm bell for the team may also be the harvest of the National Torch in the competition.

　　More than half of the intensive schedule

Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships and two WTT events. In the past 10 months, Guozhen participated in three consecutive competitions with high gold content, covering doubles and singles.

After the journey to Xinxiang, the intensive schedule of Guozhen has already reached half.

As mentioned above, after sending the full main team to participate in three competitions, guozhang has a deeper understanding of the opponents around the world. However, several failures also made the team pay more attention to the study of opponents.

In mid-November, the table tennis Asian Cup will be held in Bangkok, Thailand. In combination with the actual situation of the team, the men’s and women’s teams in the competition were selected to play Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong.

“Fan Zhendong and Malong took the initiative to withdraw from the Asian Cup according to their own situation.” Qin Zhizhen, the head coach of Guozhen men’s team, introduced after the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships.

As for the women’s team, coach Li Falcon hopes to take advantage of the Asian Cup to enhance the overall strength of the Women’s Cup and prepare for the Paris Olympics. “Arrange two players who did not play in the elimination stage of the world table tennis team team to play in the Asian Cup and directly confront the main opponents, which is conducive to enhancing the overall strength and thickness of the team.”

After participating in the international competition, the main players will return to the local team to prepare for the national championship.

In the three-month intensive competition at the end of the year, leading player need to be more familiar with the opponent’s track, skills and tactics; If young players want to undertake more competition tasks, they need to look for opportunities to show themselves on the court, lay the foundation for the competition in the new year.

At present, guomang has basically reached the previous plan. Go to the Asian Cup, please continue to cheer for the team!
