No matter what event, the more you play the game, the closer the players are, the more difficult the game will be.
However, on October 29, the semi-finals of Xinxiang World Cup were abnormal. Both men and women, the winning side showed that they were more powerful than their opponents and defeated all their opponents with overwhelming advantage.
Sun Yingsha beats Wang Yidi , which means improving the quality, tearing backhand, and swinging with forehand. Although Wang Yidi won a game 11-4 in the third game, Wang Yidi basically had no chance in the whole game.
Zhang Benzhi and vs. Okhalov. Eliminated Fan Zhendong Okhalov seemed to be sleepwalking throughout the game, almost becoming the background board for Zhang Ben to shout to the sky. The scores are clear at a glance, 11-7, 11-6, 11-5, 11-7.
Chen Meng against Wang Manyu , which should have been a top-notch game against Mai Mang, but it was also one-sided. Chen Meng played the tactics of serving to attack and specializing in the middle lane. Wang Manyu failed to get out of the whole game. Although he won the fourth game 13-11, Chen Meng got the match point first in that game.
Wang Chuqin attack Marlong is a complete victory with advanced playing style. Wang Chuqin's backhand was the only one in the world, and the attack of the whole Taiwan has no blind spots to prevent Ma Long. Although Ma Long relied on his own experience and psychology to win back three games in the past decade, this was the first time in the past decade that Ma Long had basically no sound in the whole game and had been playing dull. Although the score was not one-sided, there was still one-sided in the competition between the two. Ma Long's score basically depends on Wang Chuqin's mistakes, while Ma Long's three games won mainly depend on psychology and experience. After this game, Ma Long has lost to Wang Chuqin in two consecutive games. It will be very difficult to turn around in the future.
Xinxiang World Cup semi-finals were all "one-sided". I'm afraid it was not accidental. This should be the Tokyo cycle, which was initiated by Ito Mima , Zhang Benzhika, and absorbed by Wang Chuqin and others. The "first two-board playing style" after entering the mature stage. This style of playing pursues fast and advocates offense. It uses all its strength to play every board and achieves the highest quality.
This style of play is characterized by active scoring and proactive mistakes. In its early stage, due to the many proactive mistakes, the performance of the game was not stable. He often won this game and lost in the next game. However, as training and competition continue to deepen, this style of play has become more and more mature, and the mistakes have become fewer and fewer, and it has gradually matured, and finally entered the explosive period.
In other words, after the 2022 Macau Championship and the Xinxiang World Cup, the old buildings in the table tennis world have become shaky, and new styles of play and new players will unify the world.
Maybe, the old style of play can still be counterattacked at a certain level in some games, but in the end, it is impossible to finally defeat the more advanced "first two-board style". It can be expected that the Paris Olympics will be the world of "the first two boards".
