How to treat the loss of table tennis mixed doubles in the Oriental Olympic Games?

There are both subjective and objective reasons for the failure of table tennis mixed doubles in the Olympic Games.

Table tennis mixed doubles is an added event proposed by the host of Tokyo Olympic Games. This was premeditated by Japan. You are not sure, and the host will not make a wedding dress for others. The original condition of adding mixed doubles was put forward by Japan. Two athletes participating in mixed doubles must be members of the team competition.

The key to mixed doubles lies in men. If a person doesn't play well or has poor strength, he can directly drag the game to death. Although Zhang Yining has no rivals, it is said that even the men's table tennis team can't participate in team training, so the men's team with mixed doubles is very important. The Japanese like it, too. Malone and Fan Zhendong both want to join this team and play insurance policies. Malone is too old to play these three events at the same time, and Fan Zhendong is relatively young to play these three events at the same time. Xu Xin can only play mixed doubles. Xu Xin is too old to compete with Shui Gu Falcon physically. In addition, Xu Xin lost to Shui Gu Falcons in Rio, so the Japanese team was careful.

Then look at women. Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha want to protect this group and women's singles. Although Sun Yingsha is also very young and can play three events like Ito, to be honest, Sun Yingsha did not play early. Ito is indeed older than Sun Yingsha. China can only send Liu Qu to play mixed doubles. Similarly, Liu's age is not dominant at all, far lower than Ito's. In addition, even in the singles competition, Liu and Ito's scores are currently 50-50. Liu's psychological quality is almost meaningful, and they are often untenable at critical moments.

In fact, I said that Xu Xin's level may be scolded. I think the fans overestimated Xu Xin (Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo conceded goals). In the past, people like Liu, except Lao Wa, rarely lost foreign wars. At that time, two kings and one horse basically never lost a foreign war (the Athens Olympic Games was also fatal). Later, ZhangJike and Malone gave people the feeling of stability and self-confidence. Xin Xu often loses in foreign wars, such as Shuigu Falcon and Zhangben. Xu Xin lost many times, Malone and Fan Zhendong are much better, and the feeling of playing ball is not tense, because the strength is there.

Japanese research on Xu Xin is very deep, and the tactical implementation is also in place. The Japanese team combined with Xu Xin's characteristics and restricted Xu Xin's game. Think about the mixed doubles final. The number of male players is limited. How do you play? Ito is not under Liu, and Falcon plays well. We saw Liu lose more points in the competition, but have you ever wondered why? Xu Xin's advantage is forehand, but forehand is limited. Forehand mistakes are repeated, and the Japanese team often hits the ball to Xu Xin's backhand. Only Liu is left near the stage. Did Liu Can Shi Wen resist?

Why did the Japanese team play Xu Xin's distant platform? In fact, the Japanese team studied Xu Xin in advance and tampered with the size of the stadium. They made the stadium smaller and smaller, far smaller than the standard size, which greatly limited Xu Xin, who is good at long-distance running, and could not give full play to his advantages. Men's mixed doubles players don't play well, and losing is basically inevitable.

In fact, these Guo Ping people must have thought of this, but why didn't they take measures? It may also help the enemy a little. I think with Xinwen's strength, they have 70-80% confidence to win. In fact, in terms of strength, two people will never lose. Judging from the first two games, they won easily. But I really didn't expect that Japan's joint tactics were implemented very resolutely and eventually overthrew Xinwen; Guo Ping may also think that sending Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha will have an impact on the team and singles, which means giving up the strategy. But for whatever reason, in short, we lost. Frankly speaking, we are not strong enough to be arrogant.

Next, President Liu will definitely pay attention to mixed doubles and believe that Paris will not lose. Looking at the expression on the sidelines, I remembered the lonely return of Liu and Wang Hao in Athens. It's really hard. Table tennis is very special in China. Badminton can be forgiven for losing. It is tolerable to have no gymnastics gold medal, even for women's volleyball. But table tennis can't be lost. Why can't we lose? Because our athletes must apologize to the fans. This is a painful phenomenon.
