Yesterday, according to Sina Table Tennis, Chen Meng’s best friend Li Jiayi joined the Japanese T League team-Japan Life Table Tennis Club. In other words, in the new season, Li Jiayi, Germany's Han Ying and Shan Xiaona will go to Japan to play in the T league . In fact, not only Li Jiayi, but also former national table tennis players Hou Yingchao and Hao Shuai have gone to Japan to play in the league, and former national table tennis players Chang Chenchen and Yuan Xuejiao have also been to Japan to compete. The reason is simple: firstly, you can extend your career; secondly, you can make a lot of money. Therefore, it is also a good choice for Li Jiayi to play in Japan.
Li Jiayi is not one of those with particularly outstanding abilities in the national team, so she does not have many opportunities to participate in world competitions, but her basic skills are still very solid. Her best result was in the National Games last year, when she and Chen Xing, together with and Wang Yidi, made great contributions to Liaoning team winning the women's team championship. She once played as the third single to defeat Gu Yuting of Shandong team and scored a valuable point for the Liaoning team. Therefore, Japan is very willing to let such a powerful player participate, which not only improves the club's performance, but also promotes the commercial value of the league and increases the popularity of the league.
As Chen Meng’s best friend Li Jiayi, on the one hand, he can extend his career, and on the other hand, he can have his own playing income, which is the best of both worlds. However, there are also players that the Japan Table Tennis Association cannot recruit, such as Olympic champion Liu Shiwen who was interviewed by "Table Tennis World" yesterday. She said frankly in an interview yesterday, "It is not easy for people to find something that they particularly like and love. The career of an athlete is actually very short. When I can't let go of the racket, I will play for a few more years. I will choose again in a few years. It's too late to try other things. "
That means Liu Shiwen still can't let go of her racket, but she may not accept Japan's invitation to play in Japan. What's the reason?
This editor Xinxi 6 feels that Liu Shiwen is not an ordinary player. She does not go to Japan to play. On the one hand, she has not chosen to retire. On the other hand, it is also because she is not short of money. After all, Liu Shiwen, as the core main force, has received bonuses for so many years. She also earns a lot, not to mention she has endorsements. She just picked up a BMW a few days ago. The main reason is that she is very patriotic. She once said that playing basketball only represents China and that it is boring to represent other countries.
This is what she said in an interview when she withdrew from the World Cup due to injury in 2016. The championship was won by Miu Hirano , Kong Linghui and Liu Shiwen were suspended. Because at that time, someone persuaded her to go out to play, but she said that she would only represent China. A very brave girl.
In addition, editor Xinxi 6 feels that for top players such as Liu Shiwen, if they go to play abroad, the skills they take away will greatly improve the level of table tennis in other countries. If they go to Japan, the Japan Table Tennis Association would like Liu Shiwen Xu Xin Go with players like Zhu Yuling , but this will invisibly make the opponent stronger. The competition between China and Japan is a long-term process. Based on this, it is estimated that Liu Guoliang will not let go of top players for Japan. Make a contribution, right?
So, Liu Shiwen will not go to Japan to play ball, do you understand?
