Chapter 278: The Dream of the Rise of National Table Tennis
The Swedish league enters the final three rounds, with the Skiers leading by one point, and the Wolverines are level on points with Persson's Gothenburg Tibetan Mastiffs.
In yesterday's league match, the Skiers took on the Malmo Ravens, who were dominated by South Korean champion Yoo Nam-kyu and Poland's Gruba.
In the end, the Skiers won the round with Waldner scoring both points, but Liu Nankui and Gruba also won two games and got a valuable point.
Because the Skiers only scored two points in this round, whoever wins all three points between the Wolverines and the Tibetan Mastiffs will tie for the top spot in the league.
This battle of focus attracted the attention of all parties, and all parties judged that the Wolverine team and the Tibetan Mastiff team would be a tough battle, and then the winner was decided 3:2, no matter who scored two points, the biggest beneficiary was the top skiers.
However, after the game began, the process was much more than all fans expected.
The Wolverines lost only one game against Persson in the first three games, forcing the Tibetan Mastiffs to fall behind 1:2 and be forced to the cliff.
In this round of the game, not only Kong Zhendong played strongly, but Sith Pan and Vasli all played well.
The Tibetan mastiff team sent others to play the fourth game, and there was a risk of being wiped out directly, so they decisively chose the main player Persson to sit in the fourth game.
Even if Persson vs. Kong Zhendong will not have no chance of winning. The fourth game between the two sides was between Kong Zhendong and Persson.
After the first round of the encounter, Kong Zhendong already had experience against Persson, and although the fight was harder than the first round, Kong Zhendong finally won the match.
3:1, the Wolverines beat the Tibetan Mastiffs and scored three points, tying for the top spot with the Skiers in the standings.
The penultimate round of the Swedish league was held two days before the opening of the World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg.
It is also the last training session for all league players before international competitions.
The Wolverines took all three points against the underdogs, while the Skiers met the Tibetan Mastiffs in a narrow way.
This strong matchup is because Zhang Lei of the skiers team has returned to the Chinese team for closed training, resulting in the lack of a second singles master of the skiers team relying on Waldner alone.
It's a pity that Waldner faced Persson and lost again because he knew each other too well.
In the end, the Skiers won one point away from home, and the standings became two points behind the Wolverine.
With only one round of the league remaining, the Wolverines gained the last initiative by two points.
However, before the final round of the league to compete for the championship of the Swedish Table Tennis Super League in '93, the World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg '93 opened.
The 93 World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg will feature the champions of seven events: men's and women's teams, men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles.
The Chinese team sent eight players from each gender to compete in the singles and doubles competitions.
Five of them, as members of the team competition, will compete for the two most valuable honors.
On May 5, the plane of the Chinese delegation landed in Stockholm, Kong Zhendong asked the team for leave, insisted on picking up the airport at the airport,
At the airport, Kong Zhendong met Mi Xingbang, all the members of the men's and women's teams led by Zhang Xilin, most of whom were old acquaintances.
The 91 Chiba World Table Tennis Championships is the lowest point in the history of national table tennis judged internally.
At the 91 World Championships in Chiba, not only did the men's team lose three gold medals in the men's team, men's singles, and men's doubles, but even the women's team lost the heavy women's team gold medal.
Coming to Sweden this year, Kong Zhendong felt that everyone seemed to be holding their breath of grievance, and the Chinese team must rise again in this World Championships.
Kong Zhendong felt that everyone's emotions were too tense, and if the old players did not pay attention to the rehearsal, Kong Zhendong felt that the pressure would affect the performance of the young players.
During the World Table Tennis Championships, the league was naturally suspended, and Kong Zhendong was also able to watch the whole game of national table tennis.
The World Championships adopts the schedule of first competing in the team and then in the individual events.
After the start of the team competition, the Chinese men's and women's teams did hold back their strength to regain the lost team trophy.
Especially the national table tennis women's team. At the 91 Chiba World Table Tennis Championships, the women's table tennis team competition lost the team gold medal for nine consecutive championships, which was also a huge blow to Deng Yalin and Qiao Hong, who had just emerged.
This year's World Championships is Deng Yalin's first international competition after establishing the core of the women's team after the Barcelona Luna Olympics in 92, and it is also a revenge battle to regain the gold medal.
The cooperation between North Korea and South Korea in '91 was a product of a special period, and by '93, this atmosphere no longer existed.
Playing against the South Korean team and the North Korean team alone, the pressure on the Chinese women's team was much less, and they advanced to the semifinals all the way.
The men's team competition, which was held concurrently with the women's team competition, was much more intense.
All European giants took turns sniping at the Chinese team, making the Chinese team stumble all the way.
It was not until the semi-finals that the Chinese men's team faced South Korea, and the Chinese team's smooth state was broken, and after five hard battles, it finally defeated the South Korean team 3:2 and advanced to the finals.
The opponent in the final is the five tiger generals who vowed to achieve three consecutive championships in the World Table Tennis Championships and create a Swedish dynasty.
Before the men's team final was about to start, the women's team final was held first.
This time, Deng Yalin and Qiao Hong have always been tense to regain the crown, and the separate South Korean team is still outstanding, except for Xuan Jinghe, who is still outstanding, and the others pose no threat to the Chinese team.
In this team competition, Deng Yalin's match against Xuan Jinghe on duty was very worrying, but in the end, Deng Yalin actively grabbed and stabilized the situation in the decisive game and defeated Xuan Jinghe with difficulty.
gnawed the hard bone of Xuan Jinghe, and the Chinese women's team won the championship trophy of the women's team at the World Table Tennis Championships lost last year 3:1.
The strong rise of the women's team has brought a good start to the entire Chinese delegation, and it is also a shot in the arm for the men's team that is determined to revivenation.
On May 10, the men's team final of the World Championships in Gothenburg kicked off.
Sweden's Ape Allen, Waldner, Linde, Persson and Pete Karlsson are all highly ranked in the world.
Even with the exception of Peter Karlsson, the other four are in the top 10 of the ITTF world rankings.
This kind of dominance that almost dominates the list has only achieved the same achievement after the Chinese men's team has a blowout of talents in the 21st century.
There are too many masters in the Swedish team, so it is up to guess which three will play in the final.
Mi Xingbang first circled Waldner and Persson, who firmly occupied the No. 1 and No. 2 singles.
Mi Xingbang's tactical intent is very clear, starting with a point in two games against Waldner and trying to fight for two points.
In the face of Persson, Mi Xingbang asked the Chinese men's team to try to score two points, and if there are abnormalities and variables, they can score one point.
Mi Xingbang will be the real winner, but bet on the third singles.
The third singles, no matter who the duel is, the Chinese team must stand out and must win,
