Fan Zhendong is more appropriately called the "new king". Sun Yingsha has made great contributions to the team and has not reached the level of "king".
Fan Zhendong has won consecutive championships in the National Games, World Table Tennis Championships, and World Cup Finals. The men's singles championship in these three competitions is enough for Xiaopang to become the "new king". Before the World Cup finals in Singapore, Sun Yingsha still maintained her third consecutive runner-up result in the competition. Is it too much to say that she is the king?
1. The Return of the Little Fatty King is well-deserved, and Sasha’s contribution should not be overly praised. The men's table tennis world has been a "dragon-fat battle" for the past 10 years. In this long battle, Xiaopang has always wanted to sit on the "king" position. However, due to the existence of the "Hexagonal Warrior", Ma Long has always been It is a hurdle that is difficult for Xiaopang to overcome. Especially in the 2017 World Table Tennis Championships in Dusself, Xiaopang and Ma Long fought fiercely to the decisive game, and finally lost by 2 points. In the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships in Budapest, Xiao Pang, who wanted to get past Ma Long and win the championship, was eliminated by Liang Jingkun. After that, Xiao Pang experienced a trough period that lasted for nearly a year. In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics men's singles final, Xiao Pang still failed to climb the "big mountain" of Malone. It wasn't until he was preparing for the Houston team's warm-up match that Xiaopang swept Malone 4-0 that he really felt like he had gotten through.
Some fans may say that the Marron in the team’s warm-up is suspected of “letting go”, but it’s not that the Marron in the big competition can’t really handle it with Xiao Pang. The competition between the two generations of kings is irrespective of the occasion. In order to warm up for the Little Fatty Competition, Ma Long also used all his technical and tactical routines and was swept with a score of 0:4 in only 20 minutes. Malone himself did not expect the game to end in this way. Xiaopang defeated many teammates to win the World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup finals. There is no doubt about the gold content of Xiaopang's championship in these two competitions.
If the national table tennis team has a "new king", I personally think Fan Zhendong is more suitable, not Sun Yingsha, who has won three consecutive championships. Sasha eliminated Ito in the women's singles and women's team at the Tokyo Olympics and became a pioneer in "minesweeping"; the World Table Tennis Championships reached the finals in women's singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, and won the women's doubles and mixed doubles championships for the national table tennis team. It should be Said that her contribution to all projects is the greatest. After the World Cup finals were merged, it also meant downgrading. Shasha was called the "new king", and her singles championship was not important enough. 2022 will be promoted for one year, and 2023 will be crucial for Sasa. The biggest opponent in the Paris cycle is Wang Manyu.
Why is it said that 2022 is a year for Sasha to improve, rather than a year for breakthrough? The reason is that the only competition in 2022 is the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, and it is a team competition. If she wants to go further in singles, Shasha's goal should be to win the 2023 World Table Tennis Championships singles championship.
1. In order to become king, does Shasha have the ability to "clear out" her teammates? Previously, Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, and Zhang Yining could be called the "big devils" because they had the ability to eliminate teammates and opponents, and they had very strong dominance. Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning, and Liu Shiwen who subsequently appeared on the women's team all had their own wins and losses, and no one had dominance over the other. Therefore, they should have a "three-legged" relationship, and no one can be called the king. The previous "two kings and one horse" relationship in the men's team actually had this kind of relationship. If Ma Lin becomes king, can Wang Liqin agree? The three of them restrained each other and did not completely eliminate their teammates. Their ability to monopolize the singles championship in the competition cannot be called a king. If Xiaopang crosses over Ma Long, he can be called the new king and ascend the throne.
So does Shasha have the ability to eliminate Wang Manyu? Obviously she can't do it in a short period of time. Including against the 27-year-old Chen Meng, Shasha also lost five games in a row. How easy will it be for her to become the king? Chen Meng has the Olympic women's singles championship, and Wang Manyu holds the two most important women's singles championships in the National Games and World Table Tennis Championships. Sasha's World Cup finals singles championship is the lightest in front of these two teammates. Taking a step back, when Sun Yingsha won the World Cup finals, she did not encounter Chen Meng and Wang Manyu. When Wang Manyu won the National Games women's singles championship, she defeated Chen Meng and Sha Sha, and also faced off in the women's team competition. All teammates remain undefeated.
Let's compare the gold content. Can Shasha be called the "new king" of the women's team? Not to mention the new king, Sha Sha must at least win the women's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships in 2023 before she can be on par with Wang Manyu from the singles championship in the competition. A more accurate term is that women's table tennis will have "double stars shining". Shasha and Wang Manyu are not dominant over anyone, unlike Deng Yaping who can always suppress Qiao Hong in competitions.
He is a young all-around player who either wins gold or silver in the singles, doubles and mixed doubles team competitions. After losing the mixed doubles title at the Eastern Olympics, Sun Yingsha swept Ito in singles, boosting the spirit of Chinese women's table tennis. Such young main female table tennis players are the new kings.
According to the points announced by the ITTF official website, Sun Yingsha ranks first in total personal points in singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles!
The little devil of national table tennis and the darling of the media, Sun Yingsha has been praised by the media again recently and was called the new king of national table tennis by "Xinmin Evening News". Is this title appropriate? What do you think of Sun Yingsha’s title? Let’s try to talk about it next.
Judging from her performance in the past few years, this title is suitable for Sun Yingsha. It is not only an affirmation of Sun Yingsha's achievements and abilities, but also an expectation for her in the future, which invisibly gives Sun Yingsha greater pressure and motivation.
Sun Yingsha deserves this title.
As a representative player of the post-00 generation, Sun Yingsha is the youngest among the main players of the national table tennis team. Despite her young age, Sun Yingsha's achievements and strength are obvious to all. The runner-up in the World Cup, the women's singles in the Olympic Games, the women's singles in the World Table Tennis Championships, and the champion of the WTT World Cup Finals; in terms of world rankings, Sun Yingsha is currently firmly in the top two in the world, sitting second and looking forward to the first. In the three major competitions, Sun Yingsha showed her big heart many times, defeating Mima Ito and helping the national table tennis team win the championship.
Sun Yingsha is the youngest and has very good grades. She is called the "new king". This is actually quite normal. Speaking of things, the current performance can be called the "new king". Whether she can truly secure the throne in the future depends on Sun Yingsha's performance in the future.
The media has high expectations for Sun Yingsha's future.
Having affirmed her past performance and current achievements, the title of "New King" is also an expectation for Sun Yingsha's future. If you don't advance, you will retreat, and you will be surpassed. Whether Sun Yingsha can secure this position in the future and further become the leading player of the national table tennis depends on her performance.
It is both pressure and motivation. The key lies in Sun Yingsha's performance
As the darling of the media, Sun Yingsha has received very high attention and expectations. Every move she makes and the results of any competition will be exposed and even magnified. For Sun Yingsha, this is both pressure and motivation. The key is Sun Yingsha's own performance.
This age is on the rise. If there is too much interference from the outside world, it may affect Sun Yingsha's current state. If Sun Yingsha can view such news rationally, then Sun Yingsha can use this as motivation to further improve her abilities and performance.
After getting off the podium, everything starts from scratch. I hope Sun Yingsha can play steadily and steadily improve her strength and condition. come on!
A player as powerful as Sun Yingsha makes players from foreign associations feel desperate when they meet her. She firmly defends the last line of defense of national table tennis in every competition and deserves to be the new king. Although Sun Yingsha has only a limited number of major championships, those who know national table tennis can definitely see the artificially suppressed external factors behind her. In 2019, she swept all the major players at home and abroad. Some people compare her with Deng Yaping. I don't want to say that Deng Yaping lost the Hiroshima Asian Games gold medal when she lost to Chili Koyama. She also lost to Yu Shunfu of South Korea and North Korea in the World Table Tennis Championships team competition, shattering China's dream of being the first to win nine consecutive championships. I just want to ask them, does Deng Yaping have a head coach on the sidelines for every game? Deng Yaping's head coach wouldn't have stopped following the team for more than two years! Deng Yaping didn't even have a nominal head coach for five months! Did Chen and Wang ever go a day without a coach in charge? Why has Sun Yingsha's head coach basically not been with the team for more than two years and not around to provide guidance? Why didn't Sun Yingsha have a head coach for five months, especially before the competition? To this day, the National Table Tennis Team still has not arranged a head coach for Sun Yingsha. Despite such a harsh environment, Sun Yingsha still steadily entered the finals of every competition, winning the championships she deserved and not daring to win the championships she was not allowed to win. It has been more than 800 days without losing a foreign game, and it has been the hardest bone in all competitions in the past three years. Defend the last line of defense of the national table tennis team. Such a person is not the new king. Let’s see who can find a second person with such strong comprehensive strength!
It is normal for the media to have their own views and opinions, but "Xinmin Evening News" called Sun Yingsha the "new king" of national table tennis and it is difficult to convince the public. It is estimated that Sun Yingsha herself will not like this title! If there is a "new king", there must be an "old king". Who is the "old king"? Could it be Lao Wang next door!
Moreover, this title does not distinguish between men and women. It is even more puzzling to call it the "new king" of national table tennis in general. Judging from the personal results of national table tennis in 2021, Fan Zhendong's results are better than Sun Yingsha's, let alone Let’s talk about the two Olympic champions Ma Long and Chen Meng. According to the latest rankings of the World Table Tennis Federation, the most valuable men's singles and women's singles are Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng respectively. They can be called the elder brother and elder sister of world table tennis. This ranking is based on personal performance in world competitions and Those ranked by scores have the highest degree of recognition.
"Xinmin Daily News" suddenly named Sun Yingsha the "new king" of national table tennis, which is a bit unconventional and does not conform to the world's traditional name for outstanding table tennis players, but also deviates from the ITTF rankings. There is no denying that Sun Yingsha is one of the best table tennis athletes not only in China but also in the world, but she still needs some experience. She should have no problem becoming the first lady of the national table tennis in the future.
