The duel between Fan Zhendong and Zhang Benzhi and last night is destined to go down in the history of table tennis.
It's so classic.
This is the most suffocating table tennis game I have ever seen.
I was so impressed that I woke up in the morning, and my mind was full of pictures of the game...
As a non-professional sports fan who sees the glass ball from basketball, I make a lot of assumptions in the moment of the game, such as:What would happen if Chubby lost this game?
My own answer is: unimaginable.
If you hadn't watched the game and put yourself in his shoes, you might have said: Isn't it just a game?
Friend, really.
In this game, there are too many elements combined:
1. Table tennis is not a big event in the world, but in our world, it is a national sport;
2. After Wang Chuqin was upset, Fan Zhendong became a male single seedling, and the hope of the whole village, if he lost, it would be the worst record in history, and the storm was coming;
3. Yesterday was the August 1st Army Day, and Xiaopang was born in the military.
Fourth, this ball has caused a widespread social sensation, not only you and me, but the biggest leaders may be paying attention.
5. Zhang Zhihe is Chinese, but Zhang Ben is Japan.
He stood opposite us, the emotion engraved in the bones, there is no need to repeat it, and the athletes do not need to be mobilized.
0-2,2-2,2-3,3-3,4-3
These numbers, I typed out of the keyboard, it was an understatement, and it was very simple to say, but it really had to be like Fan Zhendong, playing off the field...
So, I really can't believe how much pressure Chubby has.
Perhaps, the person watching is more nervous than the person who fights.
"I'm so nervous!" Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, said.
"It hurts my heart!" Li Falcon, the 61-year-old head coach of national table tennis, said.
Wang Hao in the coach's seat had tears in his eyes, and Ma Long's eyes in the stands were tight.
These people who have seen the wind and waves are like this, not to mention us in front of the screen.
The heart really couldn't stand it, especially when I was behind 6-7 in the tiebreaker, my palms were sweating, and my blood pressure soared.
Fortunately, it turned out to be good.
Chubby withstood it.
The 7-7 draw in the decisive game was too critical to continuously grab the ball, play the momentum out, and score consecutive points after pressing the opposite side, Zhang Ben couldn't stand it...
Objectively speaking, we must admit that people have indeed improved.
Zhang Ben is not only shouting, nor has he only learned to rub the side in Japan, his personal ability is really strong, and he has forced Dongge to a desperate situation.
You can see how fast he is improving.
For many years to come, Zhang Ben will be a difficult bone to gnaw on in national table tennis.
And very importantly, we stayed on the top podium for too long, and others were staring at us, which is equivalent to an open-book exam for foreign athletes such as Tomokazu Zhangmoto.
They have been preparing for one competition for maybe four years, an Olympic cycle.
This is the impact that national table tennis, as the king, needs to face, and there will be fewer and fewer "exhibition matches".
But as a player, you need to be like Fan Zhendong and withstand the pressure.
From this game, we have seen the embodiment of the Olympic spirit, never giving up until the last moment, no excuses, and going against the wind, which is probably the charm of competitive sports.
I especially like a sentence from CCTV's commentary:
"In the final key ball, it is your guts, your heritage, and what kind of person you are in your bones!"
In addition to talking about the competition, I have another person who would like to share with you:
Looking at this year's Olympic Games, I found that a certain circle of sports is very serious.
Many people's attention may be more important to whether the players are good, interesting, and handsome...
And the group is huge.
In competitive sports, results speak as an iron law, and results are the first, or even the only ones.
If you win, you will accept praise and awards, if you lose, you will accept the necessary criticism, and you will train honestly to fight back, the life of an athlete is actually quite simple, there are really not so many things...
Finally, share two interesting network pictures, do you see yourself last night:
