In the recently concluded Busan World Table tennis tournament, the world’s top-ranked Chinese table tennis team suffered a close call, by India, South Korea, Japan players six times to break through the defense, the five main players suffered a Waterloo, although everyone finally took two championships, but a phenomenon has also caused people inside and outside of the circle of the hot discussion, that is, the national table tennis loss triggered by the attention instead of the usual raise a lot more than usual.
In this regard, many netizens believe that the Chinese table tennis team is not necessarily a good thing, only the real strong confrontation is more attractive and can promote the promotion of this sport, but there are also people who oppose this, each with their own reasoning, and a variety of opinions.
As we all know, the Chinese table tennis team has been leading the world for a long time, and is a professional gold medalist, especially since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the gap between the foreign associations and the Chinese table tennis team is getting bigger and bigger, so much so that Cai Zhenhua and others specifically put forward the so-called “wolf program”, and even made a strategic step back on some items, which indirectly helped some foreign athletes realize their dream of becoming world champions. Association athletes to realize the dream of world champions.
However, even if the Chinese table tennis team has “retreated”, the gap between the strength of Chinese and foreign associations is still very big, and the fans are not very interested in the “wolves” that have been “raised”: everyone knows that they are let in, so what is the point of it? know is to let, what’s the point?
For example, in 2009, 2011 World Series, according to Cai Zhenhua’s statement, the Chinese table tennis team mixed doubles has reached the point of “all are chaotic match”, the result of the non-starter, accompanied by the trainer is still easy to win the championship, so in 2013 will be a long time to cooperate with the pairing of the dismantling of the North Korean combination to get the title, and the men’s doubles of the same year is also very casual temporary team, the result of the Chinese table tennis team, the Chinese table tennis team is also very casual temporary team, the result of the Chinese table tennis team, the Chinese table tennis team is also very casual temporary team. The men’s doubles team that year was also very randomly improvised, resulting in the gold medal being won by the Chinese Taipei players.
However, many people do not buy this, because the strongest team does not participate in the team, the loss does not mean that the foreign associations in this program over the Chinese table tennis, we prefer to see the real peak of the showdown – the facts have also proved that such a match is more interesting to watch.
For example, the 2010 World Series in Moscow, the Chinese table tennis team women’s team 1-3 blowout against Singapore, no chance to win the title, the result of a record high ratings, even the CCTV side of the people have also been bluntly stated that “all rely on the women’s team to lose”.
It is worth mentioning that Shi Zhihao, then head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, also said frankly after the game, “people say I am contributing to the ratings, I am indeed ah,” and also revealed that the end of the final “after I came back I found that Liu guide (Liu Guoliang) there are not many reporters looking for him! “(because the men’s team won the championship).
As we all know, there is no comparison between the captive wolves and the wild ones, so the interest of the fans was greatly aroused after the emergence of the “wolves” that really threatened the Chinese table tennis team, which might be due to the following two reasons:
When the Chinese table tennis team wins, we take it for granted that there is nothing to say, after all, it is just to be happy and congratulate, there is not much to summarize, and there is nothing to reflect on;
But Chinese table tennis team loss is different, some people want to criticize, some people want to suggest, some people want to cheer; both to analyze why their side lost, but also to study why the opponent will be improved, the comment section is instantly lively.
After the start of this year’s World Table tennis tournament in Busan, the Chinese table tennis team lost in the first game, Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi lost to the Indian players in a cold spell, and then many people were attracted to it, and then Wang Chuqin, Ma Long and Chen Meng also appeared to fall off the chain, and the discussion related to it was endless, and the constant collision between different points of view also pushed the topic heat to a new climax over and over again.
Of course we don’t want the Chinese table tennis team to lose, not to mention that the effect of “actively losing” is not great, but it is undeniable that the defeat of the Chinese table tennis team has objectively raised the attention of table tennis, and made the competition between the Chinese and foreign associations more interesting.
So will the players from the foreign associations continue to pose a threat to the Chinese team in the World Championships? Let’s wait and see!
