The top 8 of the National Games is out! Liu Shiwen won all but missed the promotion, Heilongjiang broke into the top 8 after 16 years

On September 19, the 2021 National Games table tennis team group match ends. The top 8 men's and women's teams are all produced! In the current National Games table tennis competition, 13 of the 14 world champions of the national table tennis participated in the competition, and only 1 Zhu Yuling failed to participate due to emergency treatment. Among the main players of the National Table Tennis Team, apart from Chen Meng, Xu Xin, Liang Jingkun lost in the group stage, Malong, Fan Zhendong, 2 Lin Gaochu, span Wang , Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Liu Shiwen maintained a record of complete victory.

Among the top 8 men's teams, the two favorite teams to win the championship: Guangdong and Beijing both advanced to the group's first place. The Guangdong team and the Beijing team will defend the upper and lower halves in the knockout stage. In the group stage, Fan Zhendong and Lin Gaoyuan, who played for the Guangdong team, performed well. Fan Zhendong also changed the problem of slow heat and performed tenaciously in the game.

Ma Long, as the leader of the Beijing team, was attacked by the young teenager in the group, and several times he was saved from danger. Because of the altitude of more than 1,000 meters in Yan'an, where the table tennis competition is located, the speed of the ball has become faster, which has also put a huge test on the veteran's physical fitness. Malone therefore withdrew from the singles event and worked hard for the Beijing team to compete for the men's team championship.

In the men's team group match, the Heilongjiang team lacking famous players performed well. The veteran Wang Bo defeated the national table tennis player Sun Wen at a critical moment, contributing a key 1 point for the Heilongjiang team to advance to the top 8. This is also the first time the Heilongjiang team broke into the top 8 men's team at the National Games after a lapse of 16 years.

For the women's team, the championship battle of the current National Games women's team was locked in advance between the more powerful Hebei and Shandong teams. The Hebei team led by Sun Yingsha won the women's team championship in the National Championships last year, and this time it also successfully advanced to the top 8 in the group.

The Shandong team is led by Chen Meng. Although the team advances to the first place in the group, they have been subjected to many tests in the group stage. Chen Meng even lost 0-3 in the game against Wang Manyu. In today's last group match with the Shanghai team, they fought hard for 5 sets and won by risk. In the fifth set, the two sides fought to the decisive game, winning by a thrilling score of 12-10. In the next knockout, Shandong team wants to reach the finals and needs to work harder.

The overall strength of the Guangdong team led by Liu Shiwen is relatively weak. Although Liu Shiwen personally maintained an undefeated record, the Guangdong team failed to advance to the knockout round. And Liu Shiwen can also take this opportunity to adjust her physical condition and prepare for the subsequent women's singles and mixed doubles competitions.

On September 20, the National Games ping-pong team competition will officially usher in the elimination round. Who will win the team championship this year? It is worth looking forward to.
