The loss of the crown in women's table tennis is a major setback for the comprehensive revival of the women's table tennis World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg.

South Korea's Hyun Jing-hak won the highest honor in women's table tennis, and the South Korean media immediately became congratulatory.

South Korean media have always been experts in selective reporting, they do not mention the fact that the South Korean men's and women's teams were eliminated by the Chinese team in the team competition, and focus on reporting the bloody story of Hyun Jinghe picking off three main players of the Chinese women's team one after another and winning the championship strongly.

In 1991, after the Korean United defeated the national table tennis women's team to win the Chiba World Table Tennis Championships, South Korea filmed the classic movie "The Dream Team of North and South Korea" based on this.

Kong Zhendong has seen this movie and has to admit that in terms of story, the standard of the actors' batting actions and the plot setting, they can be regarded as the pinnacle of Asian sports movies in the 90s.

Even across two decades, China has not been able to make such an infectious sports movie.

Looking at the reports of the Korean media in the past few days, I am preparing to shoot a personal sports story with her as the protagonist based on the record of Xuan Jinghe successively picking off three main Chinese table tennis players.

In addition to the South Korean media, Kong Zhendong and other fans have taken their attention away from the women's singles, as the men's singles, which has the heaviest gold content in the individual event, has reached the final quarterfinals.

Men's singles is the most technical and tactical competition in table tennis duels, and the man who wins the World Championships will often be recognized as the first king in the table tennis circle in the next two years, and his gold content is more credible than the world ranking.

Even within the table tennis circle, the World Table Tennis Championships singles champion is more credible and dominant than the Olympic singles champion.

After the Chinese men's team only won the runner-up in the team, although the players believe that their skills are compared to the top European masters, the singles crown is already the last fig leaf for the rise of men's table tennis.

Although Liu Guobang was eliminated by the weak hand in the second round, the Chinese team still has Ma Wenhua, Wang Tao, and Zhang Lei into the top 16.

In the ensuing competition, Zhang Lei, who represented the national team in the World Championships for the last time, did not create a miracle.

The World Table Tennis Championships was his last competition, and he finally ended his national team career outside the quarterfinals.

The schedule of the World Table Tennis Championships is very intensive, from the top 16 to the top four, all of which are spelled out in one day.

Domestic fans and Chinese fans at the scene didn't have time to pay attention to the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the eliminator Zhang Lei, they paid more attention to how far Wang Tao and Ma Wenhua could go.

Although the hopes of Chinese fans and overseas Chinese are pinned on Ma Wenhua and Wang Tao, it is a pity that the situation of the quarterfinals between the two of them has made fans feel cold.

In the semi-finals, Waldner vs. Ma Wenhua, and Gaiting vs. Wang Tao.

Wang Tao's match against Gaiting was the first to start.

Although Wang Tao's domestic results and open results have risen rapidly in recent years, there are already voices in the national team, if Ma Wenhua's state continues, the national team will push Wang Tao onto the stage and become the new first brother of Chinese men's table tennis.

Wang Tao's fierce robbery, fast attack connection and tactical changes have been very good in China in recent years.

If Wang Tao has any weaknesses, it is that he has the worst record with Gai Ting, and Gai Ting has gained the nickname of Wang Tao's nemesis in China.

In this game, Wang Tao, who was under the pressure of the revitalization of national table tennis, did not perform a miracle in the end, and lost 1:3 cleanly to the European football king Gaiting, who had entered the peak of unreasonable play.

After Wang Tao lost, everyone's attention was focused on Ma Wenhua, the last lone seedling of national table tennis.

Ma Wenhua's hard power is weaker than Waldner's, but he has just won Lao Wa in the team competition, and he also has a gradually rising self-confidence that allows him to fight with God.

It's a pity that Waldner's ability to adjust is too strong.

It has been counted before that Waldner has never lost to two opponents in half a year.

Waldner was beaten by Ma Wenhua in the team final three days ago, and it was only three days before Sweden trained him for purpose.

Keeping the men's team and men's singles trophies of the World Championships in Sweden is all the desire of the fans, and it is also the reason for Lao Wa's emotional outburst.

Waldner finally did not relentless in this battle of hope and redemption of the national ball, defeating Ma Wenhua 3:1 and once again blocking the national table tennis male players from the top four.

In the 91 Chiba World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese men's team was wiped out, and no one advanced to the semi-finals, which was known as the lowest point in national table tennis.

In the 92nd Barcelona Olympics, Ma Wenhua advanced to the semifinals and won the bronze medal, becoming the last fig leaf for the Chinese men's team.

However, at the 93 World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg, the men's team's performance not only did not regress compared with last year, but fell to the worst record outside the top four the year before last.

Didn't you say that it would be good to rise?

Didn't you say that you would be back at the top?

Whether it is the domestic fans who are looking forward to it, or the overseas Chinese who support the Chinese team in a foreign country, they are extremely frustrated.

The national table tennis men's team not only did not rise, but fell deeper into the abyss.

Kong Zhendong tried his best to remove his regret for Ma Wenhua and the national team, and used all his energy to study the subsequent semi-finals.

The semifinals of the World Table Tennis Championships are often the competition of the strongest four people in the next two years.

If Kong Zhendong grows fast enough, he knows that they will be his main rivals in the future.

This semi-final match is not only a heavy blow to the Chinese team, but also a clear vision of Europe's top players against Asian powerhouses.

The top four players are all Europeans.

Waldner, who is recognized as the first person in the Eurasian record, and the outstanding representative of the fierce faction in Europe, the Belgian Sever, are known as the most qualified to challenge the qualification of the old tile ball god and are also close to the Grand Slam of France, as well as the inheritor of European delicate technology and the first person in European basic skills, Primoratz.

The duel between these four people also represents the full domination of the men's table tennis world by European forces, not only China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea, which have given birth to world-famous players in the past, but also played soy sauce in this competition.

Kong Zhendong is particularly interested in the next game, as are coaches such as Ben Gesen and Mi Xingbang, as well as Liu Guobang, who is full of expectations for the future.

Because Waldner and the four of them not only collectively represent the highest level of men's table tennis in the world, but also a rare collective confrontation of three dominant playing styles.

It can also let all coaches know which technology has the strongest advancement at this stage.

Waldner is an arc circle combined with fast attack, a change of play style in Taiwan, Primorac is also an arc circle combined with fast attack, but he is an outstanding representative of delicate technical flow, and Gaiting and Seifer represent the new playing style system of unreasonable force, European ferociousness, and madness.

In the semi-finals, Waldner vs. Sever, and Primorac vs. Geiting.

Geiting's match against Primorac started first.

As a world doubles champion and World Cup singles champion, Primorac also has ambitions to challenge for the World Championship throne.

Geiting, a World Cup champion and Olympic silver medallist, is also hoping to win the World Championship and become the closest player to a Grand Slam.
