A cement table, a few worn red bricks, two rubber-tattered rackets, and a small bouncing yellow ball. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Such a humble venue and such shabby equipment can actually become a childhood paradise for children in the 80s of the last century.

Lin Yue still remembers the scene when he followed his cousin and picked up the ball for him.

He wondered how these teenage and half-year-olds could be fascinated by the sport. On a hot day, I don't look for a cool place to stay for a while, and I sweat and sweat there shirtless.

Even if it's out of school, I don't go home in a hurry, I have Sundays off, I don't do my homework, just to grab this little ball, it's not fun.

Because he has been fat since he was a child, he didn't play a few times, he was sweating profusely, and he was even wheezing, so he had little interest in this sport since he was a child.

But as he grew up, he was deeply shocked by the powerful charm of table tennis, and now, through long-term exercise, he has listed table tennis as the second fitness sport after basketball.

A small ball can conjure up endless ways to play, attracting countless people to go crazy.

Table tennis, the reason why it is called the national sport, is not only because of the monopoly position achieved by our national players in various world events, but also because it is a fitness sport in which the whole people participate.

First of all, table tennis has a wide range of requirements for participants.

Men and women, young and old, and even participants can participate. It has truly achieved the degree of participation of all the people in "going up to ninety-nine and down to just going to go".

Secondly, it is not limited by geography and venue.

Tiannan Haibei, plains and mountains, and even water towns and glaciers can realize this sport. Whether indoor or outdoor, rich or not, as long as you want to play.

Then, there is a variety of playing styles, suitable for different groups of people and systems.

Table tennis is easy to learn, beginners are easy to learn, and it is full of variety, with a variety of technical characteristics, fans can choose their own style of play according to their own sports habits and system, and practice for a long time.

Also, there is no need for direct physical confrontation.

The players are divided on both sides of the table, and there is no need for direct confrontation and contact, which effectively avoids injuries and can also control physical fitness well, which is more popular than basketball and football.

Finally, the mass foundation is solid, and the people who are superior are among the people.

Interest is the first mentor, but honor is the ultimate goal. Table tennis in China has a broad mass base and a very high level, which is absolutely unique in the world.

In recent years, a number of folk table tennis trials organized by mainstream media and civil society have been widely loved by fans. And a large number of young table tennis talents have emerged, accumulating vitality for the development of China's table tennis industry.

In China's table tennis, since Rong Guotuan won the first men's singles world championship for China in the 25th World Table Tennis Championships in 1959, in the past 60 years, we have occupied the position of the hegemon of table tennis, repeatedly monopolized all the gold medals in the competition, and won the gold, silver and bronze medals. Become the undisputed first kingdom of table tennis.

But behind the first, there is loneliness, and it is also a more violent counteroffensive.

The emergence of overseas legions and the reform of rules are a counterattack against China's great strength.

Because China's table tennis strength is too strong, and the number of places to represent the national team in the world series is limited, under the cruel competition, some relatively outstanding players have no choice but to leave their homeland, join other nationalities, and become China's opponents. These people are the Overseas Corps.

According to statistics, there are currently 157 people in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, of which 23 are in the top 100 overseas corps of men, with Tang Peng of Hong Kong, China, ranking 12th, and 31 of the top 100 women's corps are from overseas corps, including Singapore's three generals Li Jiawei, Sun Beibei, and Feng Tianwei, all of whom are in the top 25, ranking 7th, 9th, and 22nd respectively, which shows the strong threat of overseas corps.

Speaking of overseas legions, we have to say Xiaoshan Chile. She used to be the number one in the world, and after retiring from the army, she married a Japanese, changed her Japanese surname, and became a Japanese citizen. In the 1992 Hiroshima Asian Games, he defeated Qiao Hong and Deng Yaping in a row, and because he cheered in Japanese during the game, he became a "traitor" referred to by Qianfu. Every sentence of "Yoxi" pierces the hearts of Chinese.

The grievances between China and Japan cannot be resolved, and she has invisibly become the target of public criticism, and it is difficult to turn back.

And Li Jiawei, because she has always lived in the shadow of the "big devil" Zhang Yining since she was a child, had no choice but to go to Singapore, and she and Feng Tianwei formed a strong combination, which caused trouble for Chinese players many times and became the most powerful overseas corps.

Faced with a situation of strong enemies waiting for and dangers lurking, the Chinese national soldiers adopted a generous plan to raise wolves.

Dayu controls the water, with sparse and not blocked, this is the truth.

The level of China's table tennis league is very high, and there are the most powerful players here, not only from China, but also from many outstanding foreign players.

They can be used as teammates to complement tactically, or as sparring partners to improve the competitive level of young players.

With the deepening of the professionalization of table tennis, the Table Tennis Super League will become a league that crosses nationalities and races like the American basketball NBA.

Compared with the threat of overseas corps, the reform of table tennis rules has more directly restricted the performance of Chinese players.

In the past 20 years, a total of 9 reforms have been carried out, which is exactly what 'life is endless, tossing and turning!' ’

Its intensity, pace, frequency and impact are rare in all sports. In order to deal with China, the ITTF has really taken great pains.

The 9 reform contents can be roughly divided into three categories:

1. In terms of equipment, there are 5 items, including the change of the material of the ball, the restriction of long glue, the abolition of organic glue, the change of small balls into large balls, and the increase of the height of the net;

2. In terms of technical specifications, there are 2 items, such as the implementation of unobstructed serve, the 11-point demerit system will be adopted;

3. There are two reforms related to "people", including the two pairs of doubles players of the Unified Association at the Olympic Games, which must be divided into the same half of the district when drawing lots; Athletes over the age of 21 who change their nationality will not be able to participate in the World Championships and World Cups.

In some ways, these measures have effectively limited the dexterity and technical characteristics of Asian players, and brought into play the advantages of European players in terms of strength.

They want to make the speed further slower by turning small balls into big balls and improving the net, so that the traditional straight racket play method is useless, and without the participation of the straight board, table tennis will lose most of its charm.

After changing to an 11-point system, the time of each game is shorter, which increases the chance, but the excitement decreases a lot.

In the face of many problems, the national table tennis did not flinch, rose to the challenge, and slapped the conspirators in the face with practical actions, we are still an unshakable table tennis power.

The reason why we are invincible is, on the one hand, that we have a scientific training system, which can cope with various reforms, quickly adjust our state, and solve the puzzle; On the other hand, there is a rich reserve of young people in our country. We can have strong people from generation to generation to lead the national table tennis to continue to move forward.

At this point, you look at Lao Wa (Swedish star Waldner) who singled out several generations of Chinese players, from Cai Zhenhua to Wang Tao, to Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, and even to Wang Liqin and Ma Lin.

After he retires, Sweden will no longer have a decent player, this is not the NBA, he is not Duncan, the grandfather beat the grandson, in fact, it is very humiliating.

Today's national table tennis is led by Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui, the men's team has Grand Slam players like Ma Long and Zhang Jike, and young players such as Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong have risen strongly. The women's team has several veterans such as Liu Shiwen, Ding Ning, and Li Xiaoxia as the main force, and Zhu Yuling, Chen Meng and others also have quite good performances.

The World Cup held in Tianjin is also one of the trials for the next Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, so many outstanding young athletes are eager to try and use this competition to get tickets to the Olympic Games.
