48 Tokyo World Games-Women's Singles
◎【Three Updates】Offense is the best defense.◎
When we came back, everyone in the team was in a low mood.
This was especially true for the men's team. When Zhu Qi passed by, he could only hear various voices of encouragement.
I hope Daxiong can get over the frustration of losing the singles match as soon as possible, encourage Gao Xiaofeng, and prepare for the mixed team competition.
Jin Lili and Ding Shushu were in a dead silence, as if in a no-man's land. The coaches were not there, and only low sobbing could be heard coming from inside the room.
I returned to my dormitory and opened the sliding door. Maomao was not in the room. Only A Shui was sticking rubber on his racket.
Zhu Qi asked, and Ah Shui said, "The coaches called Maomao away and prepared to rush for the gold medal."
Chang Hongxia was eliminated, and Maomao will play against the South Korean team in the semi-finals. In the final, he will probably face the Japanese player who defeated Chang Hongxia. Both of them are very tough opponents.
"The coaching staff is still very worried about Maomao's shoulder injury. Sister Xia couldn't make it because of a recurrence of an old injury." Ah Shui sighed, worry written all over his face. "I just spoke to my dad on the phone. He said things are a mess back home. Everyone's talking about the men's and women's doubles losing medals and Sister Xia not making the semifinals. The General Administration of Sport has issued an investigation order, demanding an explanation from the national table tennis coaching staff. If they can't win the women's and men's singles... I dread to think. The coaching staff must be in a state of panic right now."
Zhu Qi didn't say anything.
The direction of the story is almost the same as the previous life.
The Chinese national table tennis team has an unwritten rule.
If the national table tennis team fails to win a gold medal for two consecutive years, the head coach of the women's or men's team will have to resign.
If the Chinese table tennis team fails to win a gold medal for four consecutive years, the head coach will have to resign.
At that time, the Chinese table tennis team did not win a single medal in Tokyo, Japan. Because this period was too sensitive, the General Administration of Sport directly "fired" almost all the coaching staff.
Even Ren Xinhua could not withstand the pressure. After holding on for two years, he resigned before the Moscow World Games.
Tomorrow are the men's and women's singles semi-finals.
There is only Maomao in the women's singles, guarding her own half of the zone.
She is under too much pressure.
Ah Shui rambled on for a long time, then suddenly grabbed Zhu Qi's hand and said, "Bao Bao, do you think Maomao and Xiong Ge have any hope?"
Zhu Qi shook his head: "I don't know."
Ah Shui felt even worse: "It's over, even you say that..."
Zhu Qi really didn't know.
She thought that her mixed doubles gold medal would bring some hope to the national table tennis team and prevent them from following the same path as in her previous life.
But now it seems that the only thing she can change is her own life.
Other people's stories need to be rewritten by themselves.
In the quarter-finals, Maomao played against South Korea.
Zhu Qi couldn't sit in the room any longer, so she put on her racket and walked towards the training hall.
While waiting for the elevator, I happened to meet several sparring partners from the national table tennis women's team. They were having a heated discussion, and their discussion became even more heated after seeing Zhu Qi.
"Baobao, do you know? I heard that the Japanese and Korean teams trained specifically against Kasumi and Maomao for two months. During the quarterfinals, that Kumanami kept hitting Kasumi's corner, causing her leg injury to relapse. I just went to the training ground and saw that the Japanese team had a small room to themselves. I took a peek and saw that they were practicing their spin shots."
"Hey, you guys, could it be that someone leaked the physical condition of Cat and the Captain?"
"Don't guess blindly, it's impossible. Who would dare to..."
Maomao is best at forehand straight attack. Backspin slice can greatly restrain Maomao's mobility, defend against all of Maomao's attacks, consume Maomao's physical strength, and increase the burden on Maomao's arm swing.
Isn't it obvious that he wants to make Maomao's shoulder injury flare up?
An athlete's physical condition is a very private matter, known only to those closest to them, their coach, and their team doctor. It's a confidentiality issue, as important as their technical and tactical skills and the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates. While it's reasonable for an external team to be privy to the physical condition of athletes from other countries, the Japanese team clearly targeted them.
They discussed it for a while and then looked at Zhu Qi: "Baobao, it would be great if you and Ah Shui played women's doubles. Maybe you could even win a card."
Another person pinched her arm: "Stop saying that! If Lily hears you, you'll be in trouble."
"Tsk, everyone knows she likes to cover her serve. Normally, since she's the absolute main force, the younger players don't dare say anything. During matches, I just take the loss, and during training, if I can't keep up with her rotation, I get a few taunts. I'm really fed up with it."
"Exactly. When Shui was sparring with her, he couldn't see the serve clearly and couldn't receive it. Lily even accused him of not paying attention and bullied him for a long time. Alas, her temper is getting worse and worse, and her level hasn't improved."
As the saying goes, don't judge people by their backs.
Because the other person will appear in front of you in the next second.
Although Zhu Qi said nothing and just listened, Jin Lili suddenly appeared from the corner corridor on the first floor. She obviously heard the conversation of these sparring partners but just stared at Zhu Qi.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were dark blue.
I didn’t get enough rest and I cried for a few days, so I looked exhausted and as if I had been stripped of my clothes.
Zhu Qi felt quite puzzled.
Although the women's doubles lost, there is still a mixed team competition after the women's and men's singles matches.
Chang Hongxia was also very sad, but she could only be sad for one night. The next day she still had to go to the training hall to prepare for the mixed team.
Why does Jin Lili look like she's in a bad mood?
Jin Lili glared at Zhu Qi fiercely. If looks could kill, Zhu Qi felt as if he had been cut into pieces by her.
Finally, she snorted heavily and walked past Zhu Qi towards the elevator.
Zhu Qi was too lazy to pay attention to her and took a few sparring partners to the training hall to find Maomao.
Training during the game will not focus on physical exertion. The most important thing is to watch videos and adjust techniques and tactics.
When Zhu Qi arrived at the place, Maomao and Coach Cun were head to head, analyzing the video of the match between the South Korean and Japanese women's singles players frame by frame.
Seeing Zhu Qi coming, Coach Cun gave up his seat and let Zhu Qi sit next to Maomao.
"You just finished playing against the South Korean and Japanese teams, and you have a better understanding of their current tactics. Please analyze it for Maomao." Coach Cun also had dark circles under his eyes. He coughed twice and reached into the cigarette box in his pocket. He couldn't help but pinched a cigarette and went out to smoke it.
Ever since Chang Hongxia was eliminated, Coach Cun couldn't sleep all night, worrying about whether his team members could withstand such great competition pressure.
This is also Maomao's first time participating in the World Games and her first time appearing as the second female singles player in the World Games.
Before the World Games, everyone thought that Chang Hongxia, as the captain of the women's team, had a greater chance of winning.
Unexpectedly, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
In just one night, Coach Cun's hair seemed to have turned a lot whiter.
He trembled as he took out a box of Golden Five Bulls at two dollars and fifty cents a pack from his pocket, put it to his mouth, and struck three or four matches before it lit up.
The cigarette tastes bland in my mouth.
Fade out bird.
The country is in chaos now. They haven't returned yet, and the Sports Commission calls every hour.
As the head coaches of the women's and men's teams, Fo Ye and Shi Ge have already started writing their self-criticisms.
In fact, we can’t blame the General Administration of Sport for its strict requirements on the national table tennis team. Since the reconstruction of the national table tennis team after the end of the Cultural Revolution, all the good resources have been given priority to them.
A separate training ground was set up for the national table tennis team and the national badminton team. The accommodation environment was also superior to that of other national teams. Even the physical doctor was taken away first along with the players of the national table tennis team.
As the national sport in which the Chinese team has competed for the most gold medals, it naturally carries a lot of expectations.
I heard that both the men's and women's singles players of the national badminton team won gold medals and received commendations from the committee. Naturally, the pressure on the national table tennis team is even greater.
Under such strong pressure, even he, the coach, could hardly bear it, let alone the athletes.
For some reason, Coach Cun subconsciously felt that the girl named Zhu Qi could help Maomao relieve stress.
As Maomao's head coach, he was the one who brought Maomao up from the second national team and has been with him until now.
At that time, no one was optimistic about Maomao. They all felt that Maomao's talent was not as good as Ding Shushu, who was at the peak of her career at that time.
But Coach Cun admires Maomao's hard work and believes that the girl can make up for her lack of talent through acquired efforts.
Facts have proved that Maomao is indeed competitive enough to break out of his own half of the zone when the women's team was in a period of transition.
But the cat was too stubborn. When he was in pain, he just endured it and missed the best time to treat his shoulder.
Coach Cun has put all his efforts into the child Maomao.
He had a very uneasy premonition.
If Maomao hadn't survived the World Games, her career might have ended there.
She will be killed by public opinion.
/
Zhu Qi felt that something was wrong with Maomao's mood, something was very wrong.
He was staring at the video camera the whole time, his eyes were dazed, and he was slow to react when she spoke to him.
Her soul seemed to be there and not there at the same time, which was a bit similar to Song Linzhou's reaction when he lost the mixed doubles, but much more serious.
Tomorrow is the semi-final against South Korea.
South Korea's top women's singles player is Lan Tianai, the champion of this year's Korea Open. A former World Championship runner-up, her playing style is similar to Li Keshan's, but more refined, and her physical fitness suggests she's more aggressive than Li.
Although Zhu Qi has never played against her, he is quite familiar with the Korean playing style.
Maomao's level is not inferior to any player on the Korean team, but what she fears most is that she will lose her composure first.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qi took out a chocolate bar from her pocket, which Ah Shui had stuffed into her clothes before, and handed it to Maomao.
The cat took it and held it in his hand without moving. Soon the chocolate bar melted into pieces.
"Don't watch it anymore." Zhu Qi stood up, pulled the videotape out of the card slot, and placed it neatly in the paper box next to it.
Maomao's voice was hoarse, and he looked up and asked her, "Why did you turn it off?"
"Eat something." Zhu Qi held the rice ball.
"I can't eat." Maomao shook his head.
When people are extremely depressed, they tend to ignore gastrointestinal feelings.
Zhu Qi knew that Maomao was under a lot of pressure, and now both the women's doubles and men's doubles had lost...
"This may be my last game." Maomao stared at the video camera and muttered to himself.
Zhu Qi was startled: "What?"
"If I can win this time, the country will provide special medical subsidies for World Games champions. Chairman Ren said he has contacted a hospital in the United States for surgery. If the surgery is successful, it would be great, but there is also a chance of failure... So I will play tomorrow's final as if it were my last game of my life."
Zhu Qi finally understood after hearing this.
No wonder Maomao stayed silent for about two years before announcing his retirement after playing in the Tokyo World Games in his previous life.
I guess the surgery results were not ideal.
It may also be that the surgery and recovery period are too long, and when I come back I find that I can no longer catch up with the outsourcing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qi stood up and said, "Let's practice for a while. If you trust me, I'll teach you how to beat Koreans."
Although Zhu Qi, who had just finished the mixed doubles match, had never played against the Korean player that Maomao would face tomorrow, according to Chang Hongxia, Zhu Qi was very good at dealing with the Korean player's style of play.
She knew the playing styles of Japanese and Korean players very well and was twenty years ahead of the times - of course, this was based on some information Zhu Qi had from her previous life.
At this time, the South Korean team still advocated close-table offensive and defensive play.
"They are good at waiting for their opponents to make mistakes close to the table. Their overall technique is mainly forehand. As long as you return the ball to the forehand area, they will immediately launch a quick attack. If it is in the backhand position, they will use defense to return the ball." Zhu Qi stood at the other end of the table, holding a white ball in his hand, and bounced it twice on the table.
Maomao nodded. She was a forehand player and usually had a hard time playing against the Korean team.
But when playing against the South Korean team, Zhu Qi has her own way.
"When playing against South Korea, just remember one thing," Zhu Qi said, throwing up the white ball and swinging his arms. "Offense is the best defense."
The cat took a stance, focused, and used all offensive returns to receive all the balls.
The white ball falls on the table.
Ding ding pa pa.
It was like the drumbeats falling from the sky, with the power of thunder to crush everything.
Maomao has always been good at forehand, while Zhu Qi is the representative of backhand.
In fact, it has always been recognized in the table tennis world that the forehand is more difficult to practice than the backhand.
Many people may not know how to arch their forehand after not practicing table tennis for a few months, but they can still get on the table with a few backhand strokes.
After Maomao pulled a few balls, he suddenly felt that Zhu Qi seemed to be feeding him questions.
The balls that were hit were all the spots where I lost the ball in every game in the past two years.
High-angled high balls, center-line slices, small triangle short balls, and backspin balls from far away tables...
Zhu Qi passed the ball back and forth while watching the cat gradually adjust its catching technique.
The ball hit the racket, and the vibration went along the palm, fingers, wrist, and arm... Sweat dripped from the cat's forehead, and the spine on the back was also soaked with sweat. The clothes stuck to the skin and swayed back and forth with the movement.
When Coach Cun came back from smoking, he saw the two girls sitting back to back, exhausted.
"We'll fight like this tomorrow," Zhu Qi said.
"Okay." Maomao nodded.
/
On the day of the men's and women's singles quarter-finals and semi-finals.
Two good news and one bad news.
The bad news is that Okuma lost to the captain of the Japanese men's team, Ichito Matsukaze, and missed the gold and silver medals. He will have to compete with Belarus's Pineapple Head for the bronze medal.
The good news is that Gao Xiaofeng successfully advanced and will compete with Song Feng in the final for the gold medal - and Maomao fought for 7 games and narrowly defeated the Korean number one seed player with a score of [4:3], successfully entering the final.
To put it in one sentence, the cat fought with them for its life.
The game lasted for more than 50 minutes, and the people in the stands were so scared that their scalps were tingling. The two players also had disheveled hair.
This Korean female singles player plays with both hands very aggressively, with her attacks and landing points changing all over the table.
Fortunately, Maomao has solid basic skills and strong table protection ability, and he can catch every ball when running back and forth.
In addition, Zhu Qi told her the motto for playing against the Korean team.
The best offense is the best defense.
Maomao left himself almost no chance to defend himself, and would smash the ball without hesitation as long as there was a chance to do so.
These Koreans have a common problem, which is that they give up easily once they are at a disadvantage.
So it is important to build momentum from the beginning.
Because she is the only female singles player, Ren Xinhua also personally gives her off-court guidance.
She felt that Maomao was in very good shape today. Overall, although he was slowed down by the rhythm of the Korean team at the beginning, he was able to use a more aggressive approach soon.
I heard from Lao Cun that Zhu Qi gave Maomao a pre-match sparring partner yesterday.
This made Ren Xinhua very relieved.
Ren Xinhua had discussed this with Mr. Fo many times. She asked him, "Do you know how despairing I was when I returned from the hospital and saw the disorganized team? For Chinese people, the most deadly thing is vicious internal competition and infighting!"
After the reform and opening up.
Although the national economy has improved a lot, people have become restless.
Begin to admire power, status, and fame.
It's about killing people and setting fires to get a gold belt.
The sense of collective honor is weakened and individual interests begin to be valued.
In stark contrast to the group of athletes that Ren Xinhua was with back then, everyone wants to be the "White Paper" or "Black Bone" who are showered with honors. No one wants to be a hero behind the scenes and pave the way for others' glory.
"Lao Jiang, when athletes' hearts are no longer focused on competing for the country, but on personal worship and personal glory, vicious internal competition will make it difficult for the team to achieve results."
Of course, the Buddha also knows this truth.
But who doesn't want to be in the spotlight?
All I can say is that those sparring partners who are willing to be “iron weights” are great enough.
Of course, the Buddha also understood that Ren Xinhua was talking about Zhu Qi's surprise training with Maomao.
As the absolute main force of the team, they are also in competition with each other.
When Foye was young and still an athlete, he retired in anger due to a technical bottleneck. However, not long after his retirement, his teammates from the same period talked about some of his own technical problems at a dinner table, which benefited Foye a lot.
In fact, his teammates have always known about Foye’s problem, but because of the competition, they don’t want to tell Foye to help him break through the bottleneck.
After all, if one player retires, it will provide more opportunities for himself.
But Zhu Qi is obviously not such a person.
The Buddha also felt that he seemed to have underestimated this girl.
Is the future of the Chinese women's table tennis team really in her hands?
/
Last day of singles.
The results of the men's singles final are also out.
Gao Xiaofeng lost to Matsukaze Ichito of the Japanese team [2:4].
Press releases from various countries once again set off a frenzy.
[The Great Wall of Table Tennis has collapsed. The Chinese team will no longer dominate the future!]
【The myth of China's invincibility has been broken! 】
【The next four years will be the era of Great Japan! 】
Big Bear won the bronze medal match, with two Chinese flags standing in the lower second and third place columns.
The men's team's head coach Shi Ge looked dejected, like an eggplant hit by frost.
The men's doubles team failed to win any gold medals, and the men's singles team lost the gold medal again.
He said: "The men's team lost so badly that they had nothing left, not even their underwear."
The World Games are not over yet.
The news that the men's table tennis team was completely defeated in both singles and doubles events has spread back to China.
no way.
Winning the game will get you flowers and applause.
If you lose, you have to endure the harsh words no matter how they sound.
Qin Xiaoba had never seen such a scene before. He didn't understand: "Winning and losing in a competition is normal. Why is it like an 8.0 magnitude earthquake when the Chinese table tennis team won the silver medal?"
"Then guess why the podium has three steps? The champion is at the top?" Zhu Qi asked him. "Because people only see the person at the top, and China only wants to be at the top."
Maomao's final opponent was Mie Hashinobu of the Japanese team.
This actually made the women's table tennis team feel relieved.
Because this Japanese player's winning rate against the Chinese team in the entire Tokyo cycle was not high, but for some reason, in the Tokyo final, Hashi Noboru's ball was much more aggressive than before.
Ah Shui nudged Zhu Qi's arm and whispered, "Hey, is this the looping ball from Japan?"
On the table, Meihui Qiaosheng drew her sword and hit a topspin ball with a clear arc, which landed on Mao Mao's right hand side.
Although Maomao caught the ball with his racket, he couldn't keep up with Mihui Hashimoto's rotation.
The ball hit the net and Mihui Hashimoto scored.
——[End of the Sixth Round]
——[Big score, Chinese team 3:3 Japanese team]
Entered the women's singles deciding game.
Zhu Qi sat in the audience, listening to the cheers and encouragement from both sides, and felt like his eardrums were bubbling with water.
This feeling is even more unbearable than actually standing next to the pool table.
Coach Cun was also sitting in the audience, watching the game with tears in his eyes. He didn't even feel a thing when someone stepped on his foot.
The seventh inning begins.
Mie Yuhashi serves.
Zhu Qi stared at Maomao closely. When he saw Maomao running on both sides of the table, his heart also rose and fell with every swing of Maomao's racket.
It seems that Maomao is in very good condition at the moment. Yesterday's pre-match warm-up was effective and Maomao did not make any mistakes today.
Mihui Hashimoto's loop balls are also semi-finished products, and she can only pull out five or six out of ten balls.
The formation of this kind of ball requires an environment, that is, the opponent can give you a forehand position.
Maomao always avoided engaging in forehand stalemates with his opponent, and used lobs and counter-pull shots as much as possible.
The ball flew past with a thud.
Zhu Qi's head also swayed left and right.
After the twelfth ball.
The score on the field was tied again.
[Seventh inning, Chinese team 6:6 Japanese team]
Ah Shui took a deep breath beside her. Her tense nerves almost made her forget to breathe. This breath made her brain a little congested and she felt dizzy: "My head is so dizzy..."
Sweat wiping time.
Maomao walked to the towel basket, reached for the towel and wiped his face briefly.
After the sweat was wiped away, she looked around the audience.
The big screen follows the cat's expression, and no one knows what the cat is looking for.
Only Zhu Qi felt Maomao's gaze and was able to look at him across the crowd of tens of thousands of people.
She nodded slightly, not sure if the cat could see it.
But there is a high probability that he saw it and received the message he conveyed.
Starting from the thirteenth ball, Maomao's playing style suddenly became more aggressive!
The cat started to attack left and right, tearing and rushing forward one ball after another like a slap!
Mihui Hashimoto's rhythm was suddenly disrupted! She lost three points without knowing why!
[Seventh inning, Chinese team 9:6 Japanese team]
The Japanese coach called a timeout urgently.
Ren Xinhua also handed Mao Mao some water to moisten her lips, and then began to analyze the next situation and response strategy.
Ah Shui followed up by saying, "I'm really lucky today. There weren't any 'emergencies'."
"Who said no?" Zhu Qi pouted at the Japanese fans next to him.
The overwhelming Japanese flags are like invisible mountains.
This is what is called home advantage.
Fortunately, when they were training, Ren Xinhua found a bunch of loudspeakers to play Japanese in order to overcome this problem.
What Ren Xinhua has to do now is to keep the cat in good shape and regain the feeling when training at home.
The pause time is up.
Mihui Hashiro still wanted to score by attacking with her forehand. After Maomao and her had two exchanges of shots, the ball suddenly changed direction and hit Mihui Hashiro's backhand as if it could turn.
Once the rhythm is slowed down, it is difficult to catch up.
The cat scored points one after another here.
The Japanese coaches next to them sweated more as they watched.
Why does the Chinese team seem to be not afraid of their "secret weapon" at all?
Why does this looping technique have no effect on the Chinese team?
Zaiyuan Xiang frowned from the fifth game onwards.
Although the scores between the two teams have been relatively balanced, she feels that it is her own players who are controlling the rhythm.
In a trance, she couldn't help but look at the only small red area in the crowd.
Table tennis players all have excellent eyesight, and Zhu Qi also sensed the gaze of someone from the Japanese team...
“…” Zhu Qi.
Well, I'm speechless.
If you’re not watching the game, why are you watching me?
The game has reached the most critical moment.
The whole audience was silent.
Waiting for the last ball to land.
Maomao swung her arms and hit the ball. Mihui Hashiro stepped forward to catch the ball. The ball brushed the net and almost landed on the opposite table. Maomao followed with a lob shot. The ball flew through the net and landed on the opposite side. Mihui Hashiro failed to catch it... The last ball was over!
Cheers exploded in Zhu Qi's ears!
The Chinese voices that resounded through the sky drowned out all the sounds from the opposite side. Even the only national flag in the city made all other flags pale in comparison at this moment.
Although the men's singles lost the gold medal.
But the women's singles took it back.
As the second seeded player of China who was participating in the World Games for the first time, it was not easy for Maomao to win back the gold medal despite his teammates being eliminated early and having to defend his own half of the zone.
When standing on the podium, Maomao couldn't stop crying.
Zhu Qi didn't expect Maomao to win.
She felt as if she had driven changes in history, and was still in a trance, stuck on the scene in her previous life when Maomao announced his retirement after the Tokyo World Games.
Coming back to his senses, Zhu Qi looked at the cat on the podium and felt a little regretful for himself.
If I were standing there...would the feeling of winning the championship be better than in mixed doubles?
Off the podium.
Maomao hung the gold medals around her and Zhu Qi's necks. The two of them stood face to face on the podium, holding bouquets of flowers and took a photo together.
Later, Maomao kept this photo with him until the two of them retired in the future. Maomao took out the photo and said to Zhu Qi.
"If you hadn't told me the method of hitting the bridge and rising beauty, I wouldn't have won this championship. This championship belongs to me and you."
Sister Xia proved it with her own facts.
An era needs two stars to accompany each other.
This is the most stable state.
Zhu Qi can't lose Mao Mao.
/
Although the men's team was completely wiped out.
The suitcase that was specially brought to carry the medals for the national table tennis team was almost thrown into the Sea of Japan by Ren Xinhua.
Before boarding the plane, the coaching staff cheerfully joked about whether the suitcase was big enough to hold six gold medals and two silver medals. In the end, they only received two gold medals, with the remaining one still unsure whether they could fit in their pockets.
How can I carry this suitcase empty here and carry it back empty again... This is an unprecedented shame!
Fortunately, the women's singles and mixed doubles saved some face for the national table tennis team.
The World Games are also entering their final week.
The men's table tennis players sat in the head coach's room, all of them dejected and almost losing their pants.
There is only one mixed team match left, which is the only chance for the men's table tennis team to regroup!
Shi Ge stood in front of the entire male team and said seriously: "Just forget about the lost game. Don't act like your father has died. People who don't know would think you are in Japan for a funeral. Starting tomorrow, it's a new game! Don't think that if that damn girl gets a point, you lose a point. I can't afford to lose face! A man of steel must be able to hold his own! He must be able to withstand pressure! The gold medal for the mixed team will be won by breaking arms and legs no matter what! As long as there is a breath left in the body, we must bring it back to China! If we lose to Japan and South Korea again, I will jump into the Sea of Japan right after you lose the game——"
"Yes!" Morale was revived, and everyone responded loudly. "The mixed team wins!"
But things don't always go as planned.
The list of mixed groups, which should have been announced a long time ago, was delayed for a week before being released.
No one expected that the Chinese team would have such bad luck in the mixed group draw.
The Japanese team was drawn in the first round again.
【Author’s words】
The era of the four great table tennis players has ended, and the era of the six-pointed star of table tennis has begun.
The real heroes are everywhere, and the strongest opponent is not on the opposite side but beside you.
The strongest girl group rises!
