The women's national table tennis team did not lose a set, and once again won the Kaubeun Cup with a complete victory; although the men's national table tennis team was dragged into the decisive set by Zhang Benzhihe in the semi-finals, they still won the game with the advantage of the group, and young people like Wang Chuqin also completed their transformation in the game.

Women's Table Tennis Table Tennis Shows a strong foundation of strength.
wins all the championships, the women's table tennis team "clocking in at the speed of light"
When Sun Yingsha defeated Nagasaki Miyu, the Chinese women's table tennis team defeated the Japanese team 3-0 and won the five consecutive championships in the World Table Tennis Championships, the head coach of the women's table tennis team Li Jun and five players formed a circle and hugged each other tightly.
Speaking of this move after the game, Li Jun explained: "The most important thing we embrace is to feel the power of everyone, use the power of all of us together, like qigong, use the power of everyone today, in the Olympics and today's World Table Tennis Championships."
"Today our team is even stronger. I believe that anyone who plays the game can win the game."
As Li Jun said, although among the five women's table tennis players, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong are the first to stand on the stage of the World Table Tennis Championships team competition, the strong strength of the national women's table tennis team once again allowed fans to experience "stable happiness."
In this competition, Ito Mima did not create too many difficulties for the national table tennis team.
Until the moment of winning the championship, the women's national table tennis team did not lose a single point, and all defeated their opponents easily with a big score of 3-0. Even in all eight games, the women's table tennis players only lost 2 games in total.
Even against the Chinese table tennis team's biggest opponent Mima, it was not difficult for the Chinese women's team to win - Wang Manyu won the game 3-1 with a big score, and the momentum of the game was always in the hands of Wang Manyu. After the game of
, Wang Manyu also said: "We have been preparing for this game with Ito Mima for a long time. In closed training and usual, I have had this game scene in my mind, and I have played it in a simulated manner. So no matter how stalemate the score is or how difficult it is, the belief in winning the game is very firm."
Indeed, the reason why the national table tennis women's team can experience the joy of "clocking in at light speed" in every game is precisely because of the meticulousness of daily training.
Li Jun revealed that during the closed training in Chengdu, he will ensure that the main players will conduct a left-handed training session and targeted training for the raw rubber playing method in each training class.
is the polishing of every detail that has kept the Chinese women's table tennis team at the top.

The old and middle-aged and young generations, Wang Chuqin saved himself
Compared with the women's national table tennis team, the women's national table tennis team has completed the transition from old to old in the Tokyo Olympics, the men's national table tennis team seems to be always looking for a new generation of successors. In the press conference after winning the championship, Qin Zhijian, head coach of the national table tennis men's team, concluded that the three players who played in the final and finals represent three eras.
"Faced with young players in the world table tennis world, the Chinese team is also making alternating new and old, constantly enhancing reserve strength."
Qin Zhijian gave high evaluations to the three generations of "old, middle-aged and young", "Ma Long is still the absolute main force in the Olympic cycle, and this time he performed very well, like the team's stabilizing needle; Fan Zhendong is in his year of playing, he has super abilities and a suitable age, and is the leader of the Chinese men's table tennis team in the next Olympic Games; Wang Chuqin has a unique playing style, unique temperament and unique style among young people."
Wang Chuqin is growing into the best among the new generation.
Compared with Ma Long and Fan Zhendong's unshakable position in the men's team of the national table tennis team, Wang Chuqin has gradually grown into a future that the national table tennis team can rely on. This World Table Tennis Championships is also the best stage for his experience.
From the quarter-finals against Sweden to the semi-finals defeating Japan, Wang Chuqin is the player with the most ups and downs in the national table tennis team.
quarter-finals against Karsson, Wang Chuqin chased three consecutive games to complete a big reversal while falling behind 0-2. After the game, Wang Chuqin, who was performing a Jedi counterattack, raised his hands and cheered, then put the racket on his forehead and looked up at the sky. After losing to Zhang Benzhihe in the semi-finals in
, Wang Chuqin ushered in "redemption" in the decisive set. When facing Togaki Junsuke, Wang Chuqin tightly pursed his lips and looked serious from the practice session.
But as the game deepened, Wang Chuqin became more and more relaxed, and his tightly pursed lips gradually turned into a smile. In the end, he defeated Hokami Yusuke 3-0 and helped the national table tennis team advance to the finals.
Guidance of Qin Zhijian (second from right) cheered for his disciples.
Wang Chuqin himself also sighed: "After the knockout round, whether it is eight to four, semi-finals, including the finals, I feel that I have received good training. Psychologically, after this competition, I will be stronger and even more stable."
For the national table tennis team members, outstanding strength is only part of the road to growth, and having a strong heart is the key. Obviously, Wang Chuqin became the player with the most rewards in this World Table Tennis Championships.
"I have always had a goal in my heart. I hope that the Chinese men's team will complete the transition from old to old like the women's team, so that the overall strength of the Chinese men's team will continue to be continuous."
Qin Zhijian took the initiative to mention the term "new and old" alternation after the game. Perhaps it was the performance of the national men's team of this World Table Tennis Championships that allowed Qin Zhijian to have more confidence in this set of "old, middle-aged and young" three-generation combination.
Zhang Benzhihe defeated Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong by one.
Zhang Benzhihe sounded the "warning bell"
But it is undeniable that compared to the "god fight" within the women's team itself, the men's table tennis team faces more challenges. In the semi-finals of
, Zhang Benzhihe scored two points alone, which also proves that the outsourced athletes can still bring considerable challenges to the men's team of the national table tennis team. Especially in these two games, it was not that Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin performed poorly, but that Zhang Benzhihe performed too well.
Even Ma Long gave this evaluation: "Being able to score two points when facing the Chinese team can see Zhang Benzhihe's combat effectiveness on the court and the young people's desire to win."
"In fact, he has been the most important opponent of the Chinese team since his debut. He can see his progress in recent years. I believe that through this World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese team's understanding of him will be higher."
Behind Zhang Benzhihe, Falke of Sweden, Moregaard of Sweden, the Leberon brothers of the future French team, Calderano of Brazil, and Lin Yunru of Taipei team in China have all tried to challenge the dominance of the men's team in the national table tennis team.
is just like the head coach of the Japanese men's team, Mitsushi Tatsumi said in an interview with Japan's "Billiard Kingdom" magazine: "The most important thing is that everyone really tries to defeat the Chinese team, or has the desire to win. I believe we will definitely defeat the Chinese team. From today on, everyone will stand on the same starting line."
is the awareness that the national table tennis team must have. Although it is still strong, we must start from now on to fully consider the sustainable development of the Paris Olympic cycle, and even the more distant Los Angeles Olympic cycle.
