Summary: Zhang Benzhihe defeated Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin in succession, and has become the biggest threat to the national table tennis team in the future.
On October 8, the men's team semi-finals competition began. The Chinese team with outstanding overall strength defeated their biggest opponent Japanese team 3-2 and will compete with the German team at 7:30 pm on the 9th.
However, as the most threat to the national table tennis team, the Japanese team's single, Tomokazu Benzawa scored 2 points in a row from Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong, and his performance was very eye-catching. At the Paris Olympics two years later, Zhang Benzhikao is only 21 years old and his overall strength will be stronger. At that time, whether the national table tennis team can subdue this "genius boy" will be questioned again.
This year's World Table Tennis Championships , the Chinese men's team is led by Fan Zhendong, who is now ranked first in the world, and also Ma Long , Lin Gaoyuan , Wang Chuqin, and Liang Jingkun form a lineup that combines the old and new. As for the Japanese team, Uda Yukiya, Yoshimura Maharu and other famous players were not selected. Ninoha Takaki was absent due to illness. They sent a young lineup with almost no competition experience, led by 19-year-old Tomokazu, the champion of the new Japan Championship and currently ranked 45th in the world, as the second order.

In this regard, the national table tennis team arranged for Fan Zhendong and Ma Long to play the first and third singles respectively to ensure 2 points. Wang Chuqin took the second single, thus fighting Zhang Benzhihe. The two have fought many times, and Wang Chuqin has an absolute advantage. Even if this point is lost, Fan Zhendong will still fight with Zhang Benzhihe in the fourth game.
's first singles game, Fan Zhendong successfully defeated the Japanese team's Hayasuke 3-0. But in the second singles between the two sides, Zhang Benzhihe is the fourth-ranked player in the world today. As he grows older, his experience and strength are growing, and his life-threatening style in the game is also very fierce. He defeated Wang Chuqin 3-1 and tied the total score of both sides to 1-1.

singles veteran Malone defeated Oikawa Reiki relatively easily. In the fourth singles game, Zhang Benzhihe once again showed his fighting characteristics. He yelled loudly for every 1 point in the game, defeating Fan Zhendong 3-2, and tied the total score between the two sides to 2-2.
Zhang Tomokazu's parents are both Sichuan , and they are both former Chinese table tennis players. Their mother even joined the national team and represented the national table tennis team in such a competition as the World Cup. After changing nationality, Zhang Benzhihe has been playing for the Japanese team since she was a child and has made her mark in the world table tennis world at the age of 13. On the eve of the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese national table tennis team once made Tsubasa Kazuma dejected, and he himself performed poorly at the Tokyo Olympics.

But this "genius boy" is only 19 years old after all, and his mentality and state are adjusted quickly. In this World Table Tennis Championships, he scored two points in many games, and almost brought the Japanese team to the semi-finals with his own strength. More importantly, Zhang Benzhihe is very brave to fight in the key game and key ball competition, which is one of the reasons why Fan Zhendong unexpectedly lost.
At the Paris Olympics two years later, the threat of 21-year-old Kazuhiro may be even greater. By then, Malone, who is already 36 years old, may not participate in the competition, and even if he participates, it will probably be mainly team competitions. Among the current lineup of the Chinese table tennis team, Fan Zhendong has super comprehensive strength and ranks first in the world, but he is not sure of winning against Zhang Benzhihe. Among the young players, the Chinese table tennis coaching team arranged for Wang Chuqin as the second singles this time, which also gave Wang Chuqin a test. If Wang Chuqin cannot form double insurance with Fan Zhendong in two years, it will be hard to say whether the Chinese table tennis team can defeat Zhang Benzhihe.
Fortunately, in a team competition, no one can match the overall strength of the Chinese table tennis team. Wang Chuqin easily defeated Japanese player Togaki Junsuke 3-0 in the fifth singles. The Chinese table tennis team has achieved seven consecutive victories in this competition and will launch an attack on the men's team's ten consecutive championships on the evening of the 9th.
