In the recently concluded table tennis WTT Incheon Championships, the Chinese table tennis team’s newly crowned world champion mainstay Kuai Man suffered a crushing defeat, losing 0-4 to the 16-year-old Japanese junior Miwa Zhang Motomoto without winning a single game. For the result of the game, the fans have different views, some people think that Kuai Man’s technology has completely behind the beauty and Zhang Ben, and some people think that the loss of a ball does not have reference value.
In the author’s opinion, Kuai Man actually exposed the problem that he has always existed, and this problem not only appeared in her, it is common to many Chinese table tennis team women’s new generation players, that is: lack of power, the quality of the veneer is limited – let’s discuss this topic in depth below.
Firstly it is an indisputable fact that since 2017, the power requirements for athletes in the women’s game have increased dramatically.
Why 2017? Because at that time, something happened that shook the women’s ping world, that is, Japan’s Mayu Hirano in Wuxi Asian Championships with a string of three, winning the three main forces of the Chinese table tennis team Ding Ning, Zhu Yuling, Chen Meng won the singles title, this battle directly to the world’s female ping players ‘wake up’, and then everyone began to push the women’s playing style masculinity to a new This battle directly ‘woke up’ the female players all over the world.
Prior to this, the mainstream playing style of women’s bingbings was still to hold with medium power, fast connecting to win, defensive counterattack is sometimes more useful than the active attack; but after Hirano Miyu topped the Asian Championships, all teams have begun the ‘arms race’, and more elements of the male style of play to carry forward, which directly led to the quality of the attack is constantly improving, and the style is very different from the mainstream playing style in the past. As a direct result, the quality of the attack has increased and the style of play is very different from the mainstream style of play in the past.

Through the development of several years, the top female players of China, Japan and South Korea have become ‘heavy gunners’.
As early as in the second half of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the Chinese table tennis team’s medium-powered main force has been gradually marginalised, replaced by a variety of ‘heavy artillery’, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong five people’s power is obviously bigger than the previous core players Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Zhu Yuling.
And Japan is known for its speed Ito Mima, Miyu Kihara, Nagasaki Miyuzu have appeared after the lack of power, even the forehand power is not good Hirano Miwu is no exception, as a result, they are also slowly by Hayata Hina, Zhangmoto Miwa, Odo Shayuki suppression; South Korea Tien Chihi’s first-sister status was Shin Yubin to snatch away, the younger Kim Na Young and others are also high-quality looping ball to win the athlete.
Yet looking at the younger, newer generation of women’s athletes in the current Chinese table tennis team, many of them lack power.
A worrying fact is that the current Chinese table tennis team women’s post-00 players generally lack power, Kuai Man is so, Qian Tianyi, Chen Yi and others are no exception, the only relatively outstanding Sun Yingsha, Shi Xunyao duo, but the latter in the other technical aspects of the rougher, the result of the results of the perennial inability to promote the results of the recent has also been significantly dropped.
Then look at the Incheon race Kuai Man and Zhang Ben Mei and the showdown, we can find the Japanese junior as long as a plus quality, Kuai Man side of the error frequently, simply can not pressure the other side of the rotation, the reason lies in their own power is obviously smaller than the other side of the number one, so strong confrontation with the time of the overall wind; and once the other side of the rotation is strong enough, Kuai Man and then want to win the ball through the means of light, fast, change the line is very difficult.
Personally think Kuai Man’s this problem if can not be properly resolved, even if the future does not lose Zhangmoto Meiwa, but also in other top confrontation may suffer!
