Jiangcheng City's game is over, but Tianfu City's game is in dire straits.
When Spade Q officially defeated Liaoning Province Zhonggang Club, the 16 games in which China Open 32 scored 16 were also played on four tables at the same time.
For Huaping, the result of the first round of the main competition is still regrettable, but compared with the qualifying round where the entire army was wiped out, it was much better.
The good news is that the seeded players Lin Li, Luo Jiu, Bai Feng, and the ordinary main draw player Fang Xiaobo all defeated their opponents without any surprises and successfully reached the top 16.
The bad news is that ordinary main draw player Yan Ping'an was eliminated by player non-Chinese associations.
This matter is a bit big in normal times. After all, every time Huaping loses in the main match, someone will use a magnifying glass to find problems.
But because Huaping was so miserable in this qualifying match, at this moment, the coaches had a very correct mentality and did not get angry again because of this.
But if you look deeper, the hidden dangers are actually very deep, because this defeat essentially belongs to the main veteran of Huaping who lost to the newly rising young player non-Chinese associations.
The one who defeated Yan Ping'an was the Chinese-German player Qiu Shang.
Don't look at Yan Ping'an's pitiful situation in Huaping. He is old, his strength has expired, his potential has been exhausted, and he is just waiting to retire. But in fact, this is just because there are too many masters in Huaping. If he were to change to non-Chinese associations, as long as he does not go to a few powerful table tennis countries and is well-established in other places, he can play for at least another seven or eight years. He can get a bunch of medals back just by playing health ball - of course, not including gold medals, nor the three majors.
When it comes to medals, Huaping usually only looks at gold medals and only the three competitions, but other associations are not so picky. Basically, no matter what competition, as long as associations from all over the world are allowed to participate, it is considered a world competition, and winning a card is considered a world-class medal. If it is a gold medal, even if it is a commercial invitational competition, they dare to call themselves World Champion.
Therefore, Qiu Shang's ability to defeat Yan Ping'an was actually unexpected by most people. After all, he is currently only the German No. 4 Men's Singles. Sissifield and Wolf who are ranked in front of him do not dare to say that they will definitely beat Yan Ping'an.
But if you really look at the content of this game, you will find that Yan Ping'an played without any problems. Although it is not as explosive as Hong Kong Open last time, it can definitely be regarded as going all out. In terms of fighting will, it is almost comparable to today's Dragon Team. He ran all over the field and spared no effort.
But he still lost. In a pure head-to-head confrontation, he was suppressed point by point by the young player Qiu Shang.
The two played seven games, and Yan Ping'an lost the decisive game 13:15. It can be said that the victory or defeat was only a matter of millimeters, but since he lost, it meant that Qiu Shang's combat effectiveness at this time was indeed higher than him.
This is undoubtedly an extremely beautiful victory for the German Table Tennis Association. Rohlskov declared directly to reporters after the game, "In the next ten years, Qiu Shang and Sissifield will be our twin stars in Germany. I am personally very sure that Qiu Shang is currently strong enough to rank among the top 15 in the world."
What he said is very interesting, because Yan Ping'an is currently ranked 14th in the world. Qiu Shang defeated Yan Ping'an, but Rohlskov said that he can be ranked 15th. This is actually implying that Yan Ping'an is not worthy of his name, and he is secretly mocking Hua Ping.
Rohlskov is very disappointed this time, because after the emergence of a new generation of supernovas in Sweden and England, Germany finally has its own young talent, which gives Germany a chance to retain its throne as the number one table tennis power in Europe.
As long as Germany is the most powerful country in Europe, he Rohlskov dares to claim to be the best coach in Europe. This is very important.
As a result, Chinese domestic media began to dig deeper into Qiu Shang's information. Later, the media broke a big news. It turned out that Qiu Shang's father was actually Qiu Zexing, the outstanding coach of the older generation in China. He was once with Cai Guodong Qin Huachang They have worked together, and the reason why he left Huaping to settle and coach abroad was because of a policy that Huaping had implemented several years ago called "Wolf Raising Plan".
The so-called Wolf Raising Plan was when China Table Tennis was at its most grand and glorious. It almost overwhelmed the whole world and even gave foreign table tennis associations a feeling of despair that they "don't want to play". Under such premise, the China Table Tennis coaching staff proposed to send a group of talents to foreign countries to help other associations grow. This was not only to improve the average level of table tennis around the world, but also to alleviate the over-saturation and internal consumption of domestic talents to a certain extent.
Qiu Zexing went to Germany and soon became one of Germany's best coaches. However, because Germany had the famous veteran Rohlskov, he could not be the head coach of Germany's team anyway. So in the end, he found his position in Sakura Country instead.
He once became the head coach of the Sakura Country national team and trained many talented people. Now Sakura Country, the talented boy Zhang Benkuang, has been trained by him for a long time.
And his son Qiu Shang stayed in Germany to play in the club league, and as he continued to play, he reached the height of the fourth figure in Germany. It can be said that he has a family background and strong genes.
At this point, everyone finally understands why a new generation of players like Qiu Shang uses a very retro forehand straight shot. It turns out that it is because he directly imitated his father's grip when he was enlightened.
But the reason why Rohlskov jumped like this is not only because of Qiu Shang, but also because of Germany's number three figure Sissifield.
Sissifield is also unlucky. Although he is ranked in the top 20 in the world, he has failed time and time again. In the past six months, he has lost to young players consecutively and was called a dog. But this time, he finally stood up.
In the first round of the main match, he powerfully defeated Ochomirov, the 12th-ranked player in the world, Belarus, 4:1.
Ochomirov is not a weakling. He is over 40 years old and is known as the oldest super-class player in the world. Although he has been playing health ball for more than ten years, he can still maintain his world ranking in the top 15 without falling. This is enough to prove how stable he is.
He also played full-offensive table tennis when he was young, but since he turned 30, he began to practice defensive counterattack tactics like a tortoise shell with iron walls and iron walls, and eventually mastered this tactic to perfection.
He is over 1.9 meters tall, with his arms spread out to directly protect the entire stage. His wrists are extremely flexible and his touch is particularly delicate, so he basically doesn't move much when standing in front of the stage. He is like a gibbon. No matter which direction the ball comes from, he directly extends his arms to catch it. As long as his arms can reach it, he can block the ball back.
Therefore, he mostly uses pushing, blocking and borrowing power, and rarely takes the initiative to exert force. This style of play is also unique in the world table tennis world.
Just last year, he defended Chinese table tennis player Yan Ping'an in an open match.
The reason why Sissifield was able to crush Ochomirov in this game was because he did not use any clever tactics and only used the simplest and crudest move: a frontal attack.
This game can be called China Open's most violent game to date. Sissifield bombarded the whole game. Eighty percent of the offense came from the backhand. All kinds of violent and quality balls, without changing the line, no fake moves, no sneak attacks, it was clear that Ochomirov was staring at it. Playing head-on, you can almost hear the bang bang sound of every ball hitting the racket, all kinds of strong spins, and the rubber squeaking. Ochomirov is obviously the ancestor of using force to hit, but he just couldn't bear this overly violent backhand, and he was forced to break the turtle shell, scoring a big score of 4:1.
After watching this game, countless people in the world table tennis circle shouted, "It's not good, it's too late, Sissifield has super evolved, the old German tank is going to start running again!"
In fact, Sissifield is not super evolved. At best, he is "back" plus "enlightened."
When he debuted, he was a player with an extremely amazing backhand. However, his playing style has never been firm, and his brain is not very flexible, so it is easy to be mobilized by the opponent during the game, so he has never been able to fully exploit the advantage of his backhand. Then he started to get injured. As he grew older, his posture of exerting force became more and more difficult. His performance was not very standard either. Injuries caught up with him early. As a result, he was burdened with the expectations of Rohlskov, but he was still unable to catch up, let alone catch up with Bayer. Even Wolf could not catch up.
But this time he suddenly figured it out. "I'm not a smart person to begin with, why do I need to make so many calculations?"
"I'm not a technical person to begin with, so why should I force myself to follow other people's lead changes?"
"Can't I just fight in the way that suits me best?"
It was at this time that he met Ochomirov, a famous iron tortoise shell and living target in the international table tennis world.
He tried to shoot wildly with the fire dragon at full range, and finally penetrated the hardest target in the world table tennis world.
After this battle, Sissifield felt like he suddenly had a breakthrough, and the bottleneck was broken. He realized the truth on the spot, and a wide and long avenue to the sky spread out in front of him. At the end of the avenue was written a shining golden word: power.
This is the ultimate secret of Sissifield style table tennis.
Germany's First Violent Turtle has now taken shape.
Regarding the first round of the main competition, there is nothing else. The only thing worth mentioning is that Japanese penhold single-ply blade player Li Zhengzhi from Kimchi Country fell again this time. The one who defeated him was the Swedish hot-tempered boy Morad. This boy's playing style seems to be better than When Hong Kong Open was more mature, he already had a vague tendency to coexist with skill and violence. He played extremely well in this game, directly crushing Li Zhengzhi 4:0. In the first two games, he used full control play, and in the last two games, he used a confrontation play. No matter how he played, he could beat Li Zhengzhi to the point where he couldn't hold his head up.
After the game, even Old Wa in Sweden couldn't help but send a message of congratulations in person and shouted to him from a distance, "I hope you can come back with a medal this time."
At that time, a reporter asked Old Wa: "Don't you want to say something to player Michel?"
Old Wa just smiled and didn't say a word. Obviously, he was still more optimistic about his successor.
In the afternoon of that day, China Open 16 entered the 8th match. From 1:30 to 6:30, the five-hour period was full of turbulence and accidents. When today's match ended, the Chinese table tennis media were all speechless.
Even those like Wang Chao who were watching the game remotely felt chills in their hearts and numb scalps.
There was an avalanche.
Ranked 3rd in the world, seeded player Lin Li, after losing to the explosive Fang Xiaobo in the last round of the Open, this time missed the quarterfinals again and was eliminated by German player Sissifield.
Germany's First Violent Turtle, after realizing it, went crazy. He even went to Lin Li directly to fight for the quality of the board, and finally suppressed Lin Li from the backhand position.
Lin Li's face turned pale during this game, as if he were mourning his concubine. After the final defeat, his calves were shaking when he walked out of the court.
He knows that he is not smart, so his playing style has never been complicated. He thought that the quality of his single board was unmatched in the world, and at most it was only slightly inferior to Hook. But today, his backhand was forcibly defeated by Sissifield, a former weak player.
His mentality was not very good, so he had to be "steady". When the quality of the boards he relied on was suppressed, his mentality quickly collapsed, and he eventually lost 2:4.
