The trouble with the happiness of a strong team is that the old are still strong, and it is difficult for the young to have a chance. The later the young are, the worse the future will be. The defeat of the men's table tennis team in the second half of the World Championships in Houston is an obvious example of the echelon of the China team.
First of all, five players of China team draw lots in groups, and four players are assigned to the upper half to get together, forming internal friction. The reason behind this is that the number of young players of China team participating in international competitions is too small and the points are not enough, so they can't enter the top seed and successfully avoid it. Secondly, although young players are very strong in the civil war, they can even beat Malone's Zhou, Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong at home. Due to the lack of experience in international competitions, he came to the world competition with unstable performance, insufficient experience and obvious shortcomings. As a result, he was easily eliminated by veteran Bohr and paid tuition.
Looking at this World Championships, when Malone and Xu Xin quit, the lineup of men's table tennis was really thin, and the teenagers did not have absolute strength to make up for the broken files. On the other hand, our opponent, Wang, the champion of the Youth Olympic Games, lost to Zhang Benzhihe, the runner-up of the Youth Olympic Games. Until now, Wang can still beat Zhang Benzhihe, but the world ranking is still far behind. This is the result that Malone Xu Xin retired late and Wang got fewer chances. Zhang Benzhi ranked fourth in the world before the World Championships, which was related to his early establishment as the main force of the Japanese team.
In the same year, the third runner-up of the Youth Olympic Games was defeated by American players in the semi-final, and his performance was better than Wang's 16.
Let's take a look at the younger Swedish player Moregold, 19, who reached the World Championships singles final. You know, a few years ago, he was defeated by two young players in China, namely, the champion of 20 17 Xue Fei Station, the runner-up of Moregaode Station, the champion of 20 19 Pengxiang Station and the runner-up of Moregaode Station. Now China's Xue Fei has fallen behind, and young Xiang Peng is far from the main force.
20 18 World Youth Championship champion Xu Haidong defeated Yukiya Uta in the final. Now Xu Haidong is unknown in the national team, and Yukiya Uta has been able to beat Zhang Benzhi to win the championship in the national championship in Japan and become the main force of the Japanese men's team Jun Mizutani who directly took over the upper position after retirement.
Japanese teenager Yukuke Kawaguchi lost to Xiang Peng in the semi-final of the 20 19 World Youth Championship, reaching the top 32 in singles and the top 4 in doubles, winning a bronze medal. We don't know whether our contemporary doubles partners Xu Haidong and Xiang Peng can sign up for the next World Championships. In particular, Xu Haidong, the champion of the straight World Youth Championship, and Xue Fei, the champion of the straight World Youth Championship, both encountered a huge bottleneck this year, and their achievements were stagnant and difficult.
Although the China Men's Team, composed of Zeng Beixun, Lin Shidong and Chen, inherited the traditional advantages and won the men's singles championship again in this year's World Youth Championship 19, due to the abundant talents of China team, the rise of these young players was slow, and a large number of older and stronger players lined up in the national team to attack the main lineup, which eventually led to their limited opportunities in the later period. There are only a few excellent young players in Japan and Europe, but they can all enter the main force earlier, concentrate on training and polishing, and their results will be played soon.
The end result is that we are ahead of young players of the same age. However, we are in the age range of 19 to 22 years old. Because the main force above is still very strong, this wave has no chance to get up. In the end, we always beat the small with the big and beat the small with the old, while the players of the same age in the adult group are prone to the crisis of unsynchronized development and big gap.
I'm afraid that Fan Zhendong and Wang are now suppressing Japanese Zhang Benzhihe, Yujihe Yutian, Lin Yunru of Taipei, Morgaud of Sweden, and Karnak of the United States by beating big and small, but when they face retirement like Marlon Xu Xin in the future, can Xu Haidong and Xu Yingbin, who are the same age as these players, stand up?
Therefore, it is imperative to pay special attention to the construction of the second echelon after the main players, that is, in the first wave of the six main teams of Fan Zhendong, Wang, Liang Jingkun, Lin, Zhou and Liu Dingshuo, two players are selectively replaced, and two top players, Xu Haidong, Xu Yingbin and Lin Shidong, are selected. Otherwise, we are in danger of dating in the future.
Looking back, 15, a younger age group, has Keiko Matsushima in the Japanese men's line and Zhang in the women's line, but we didn't sign up for the World Table Tennis Championships at all. Obviously, we don't pay more attention to the echelon construction of this age group than the Japanese team, and we don't grasp it more tightly. It is necessary to sum up and be prepared for danger in times of peace. As a traditional advantage project of Chinese captain, we must not ignore the training and connection of echelon talents of any age.
Only in the age group of 200 1-2003, the Japanese team has Zhang Benzhihe in 2003, Yukiya Uta in 200 1 and Yuksuke Inoguchi in 200 1. China team includes 200 1 Xu Yingbin, 2002 Niu and 2003 Niu. If this wave is the PK of two teams, Japan, which has more advantages in international competitions, is likely to have the upper hand.
The realization crisis in front of the China Men's Team is that when the teenagers of our peers are getting closer and closer to our leader Fan Zhendong, the players of our peers are still waiting for the opportunity to take the upper position.
Of course, China table tennis has the largest mass base, the hardest training system, the strongest technical support, the best coaching team and the highest professional league. This is the fundamental reason for the enduring popularity of table tennis in China. As long as we don't make mistakes in the construction of the national team, it is still difficult for others to shake our dominant position. Just like the world men's basketball team, the strongest American team in the American League, it is difficult for other associations to snatch the championship from the American team if they don't make mistakes. At present, women's table tennis has unshakable perfect dominance, and the men's team needs to refuel and catch up.
