On December 31st, Beijing time, during the transition between the old and the new, the table tennis world remains a hot topic on search engines. Even Zhang Jike, the former national player and fastest Grand Slam winner, has gotten involved. Recently, he made some remarks in a live broadcast that some fans found hard to accept. What exactly did he say? It turns out that in the live broadcast, he mentioned that the players in the national table tennis team have blind confidence, which is very unreasonable because they actually lack the necessary skills. However, he was clear about what he was saying, as he also emphasized that he would not name anyone but instead offered advice, suggesting that they should work harder to improve their skills. After Zhang Jike finished speaking in the live broadcast, as expected, many fans were unhappy, especially the fans of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha. Both of them are ranked first in points and have a high popularity. Before the Olympics, many fans believed that they could meet at the peak and win the Olympic singles championship. However, at the Olympics, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha failed to win the championship, which drew criticism from many people. Some of Zhang Jike's words make sense, such as the idea that one must have a solid foundation and improve their skills before being confident. There is nothing wrong with this statement. However, it is inappropriate for him to make such remarks without naming anyone in the live broadcast, as it only serves to stir up disputes…

In December 2024, China's sports circle experienced significant changes. The former director of the General Administration of Sport was investigated and removed from his position, and the former head coach of the men's football team, Li Tie, was sentenced to prison. Additionally, there were recent rumors that the current chairman of the Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang, might also face dismissal. These rumors about Liu Guoliang's potential dismissal quickly attracted attention in the sports circle. The source of these rumors can be traced back to December 24th when well-known sports media personality He Xiaolong made a statement on social media. He Xiaolong is a well-known figure in the sports world, and his comments have always been controversial and influential. This time, he directly named Liu Guoliang, suggesting that Liu had already been dismissed and was also a promoter of fan culture. He Xiaolong believes that Liu Guoliang has promoted the commercialization and marketing of national table tennis athletes, often participating in entertainment activities to increase fan engagement and create fan groups, which differs from the original intentions of sportspeople. Moreover, Liu Guoliang failed to control the pace and did not properly guide or manage the created fan groups, leading them towards the development of "fan culture." Under uncontrolled development, these fan groups transformed national heroes like Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, and Fan Zhendong into traffic stars, triggering numerous online battles among fans. Perhaps He Xiaolong's remarks resonated with some fans, as they quickly sparked extensive discussions and attention among netizens after being posted. Many netizens followed suit, questioning the national…

As the year 2024 comes to an end, Sun Yingsha, an Olympic champion, has had a bountiful year. To commemorate this, the official social media of WTT World Table Tennis released her annual summary for 2024, which includes becoming the first player to surpass 10,000 points in world ranking, maintaining the top spot in women's singles with 9,900 points, winning a total of 14 championships and 4 runner-up titles. She also looks forward to 2025 with firm belief and a desire for victory, aiming to continue moving forward steadily, enjoying every joy and growth that competitions bring! Sun Yingsha's outstanding performance this year is evident to all, attracting more and more attention, thus gaining very high popularity. Recently, a domestic platform held a voting activity for the "Annual Best Female Athlete," where Sun Yingsha's votes increased at a rate of nearly 10 million per day, which is terrifying. Her current tally has exceeded 100 million, leaving other athletes far behind. Among them, Wang Manyu, who ranks second, has only 4.39 million votes, and Quan Hongchan, who ranks third, has only 1.13 million votes, making it impossible for them to catch up with Sun Yingsha. Now, authoritative media "Sports Weekly" officially released the 2024 Sports Role Model Annual Selection List, where Sun Yingsha stood out with her超高 popularity, winning the award for the Most Popular Athlete on Social Media with 3.475 million votes. She accumulated over 12 million votes in the entire public selection, truly becoming a popularity king. Of course, Sun Yingsha also had regrets this year, the biggest being…

This is a feast that brings together the top domestic table tennis players, with every moment filled with suspense and passion. Let us focus on today's schedule together to witness the beginning of the glorious battle. The women's team arena first ignites the flames of war, with two semi-finals attracting much attention. On one side is Shenzhen University Team, boasting world champions such as Sun Yingsha, Kuai Man, and other powerful players. They have demonstrated their superb skills and tenacious fighting spirit in previous events. On the other side, Shanghai Longteng Team is also not to be underestimated. Players like Sun Mingyang, Yang Yi Yun, and others each possess unique skills. Their diverse playing styles are like a tightly woven net, proficiently employing tactics such as forehand and backhand inverted rubber, fast attack with long rubber, offensive play with long rubber, and defensive play with long rubber. They may cause many unexpected troubles for Shenzhen University Team on the court, making this semi-final undoubtedly an exciting contest between offense and defense. In another matchup, Shandong Luneng Team will compete against Huangshi Base · Huaxin Team. Shandong Luneng Team has shown strong dominance since the first stage. Even with Wang Manyu absent due to illness, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, and others still helped the team achieve excellent results with their outstanding performances. Now, with Wang Manyu expected to return, they are even more formidable, with high hopes for winning the championship. Looking at Huangshi Base · Huaxin Team, although there are foreign association players like Miharu Kihara supporting them, their overall…

Since the Paris Olympics, renowned sports media personality He Xiaolong seems to have taken on the national table tennis team (Guoping). From Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha to Wang Chuqin, he has "commented" on each of them. And now, he has even targeted Liu Guoliang, predicting that he will be "dismissed." Is the national table tennis team really in the "dangerous situation" as he described? Now, Liu Guoliang is no longer silent, admitting that the national table tennis team will make a "big move"! As a sports media person, He Xiaolong has certainly "stolen the limelight." A series of controversial remarks have made netizens "deeply disgusted" with him. However, those remarks lacking objectivity and fairness seem to give him a sense of "self-satisfaction." He is even more "unwilling to let go" of the national table tennis team! After the women's singles event at the Paris Olympics, He Xiaolong's remarks were truly perplexing. On one hand, he repeatedly questioned the gold content of Chen Meng's Olympic singles championship. He even hinted that Chen Meng had "someone above her protecting her," making her incomparable to Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining. This inexplicable remark naturally provoked criticism and resistance from many netizens. On the other hand, he turned his "pen" towards Sun Yingsha. He pointed out that this defeat was not only due to technical deficiencies but also a lack of mentality. He believed that the excessive marketing surrounding Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin brought them too high expectations and pressure. It affected their psychological preparation, leading to inadequate preparation and lack of…

Total prize money is less than 200,000, fines may reach 1.64 million, Pingchao: Fan Zhendong challenges the world's No. 1 Wang Chuqin Beijing time December 31 news, the 2024 Pingchao League finals continue. In the men's team semi-finals tonight, Shanghai Real Estate Team led by Grand Slam Fan Zhendong will face Shandong Weiqiao Team led by World No. 1 Wang Chuqin. Fan Zhendong has become a focus of attention in the Pingchao finals due to his withdrawal from the world rankings.‌ On December 30th, the Pingchao finals kicked off. On the first day of the competition, two women's team semi-finals were held. The world's number one "Little Demon King" Sun Yingsha led Shenzhen University to reverse Shanghai Longteng Team 3-1 and advance to the final. The world's number two Wang Manyu led Shandong Luneng to defeat Huangshi Base · Huaxin Team 3-0 and advance to the final.‌ Today, two men's team semi-finals will be contested. At 11:00, Huangshi Base vs. Shantou Mingrun; at 19:00, Shandong Weiqiao vs. Shanghai Real Estate. Among them, this semi-final in the evening became the biggest focus of this competition because of Fan Zhendong's appearance and his withdrawal from the world rankings before.‌ Regarding the withdrawal from the world rankings, Fan Zhendong wrote, "Recently, WTT introduced a new rule that fines for not participating in the competition. I really can't afford it, but I still respect the international organization... I can only choose to withdraw from the world rankings." Although WTT responded that it was "not newly introduced," Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the rankings still became…

On December 30th, Beijing time, Sun Yingsha scored two points, but the biggest hero of Shenzhen University's entry into the finals was someone else. Kuai Man made the whole audience cheer, and even Sun Yingsha couldn't bother to warm up, standing there to applaud for her. Shenzhen University eventually eliminated Shanghai Longteng with a 3-1 victory, advancing to the finals of the Table Tennis Super League. In the last match, they will see if they can meet Shandong Luneng at the peak. In this match, although Sun Yingsha scored two points as the team's No. 1 singles in the second and fourth games, the biggest contributor to the victory was someone else. It can only be said that in this game, Kuai Man was really too critical and important. Without her, Shenzhen University would have been eliminated 99%. Although Sun Yingsha indeed scored two points, everyone knew that the most important thing for Shenzhen University to advance was whether their teammates could contribute one point. No matter how strong Sun Yingsha's ability was, it would be useless if her teammates couldn't score a single point; this is a team event. The result was that Shenzhen University had already lost 1:3 in the women's doubles, and in the third game, Kuai Man faced Chen Yi. If Kuai Man couldn't win, the last game would likely end in a crushing defeat. Because the last game was scheduled to be Tan Yuexuan against He Zhuojia, and He Zhuojia's abilities far surpassed Tan Yuexuan, so Shanghai Longteng basically locked in the win for this…

Shandong Luneng Wins 9-0, Finals Look Like Training Matches! Kuai Man Scores 1 Point, Even Sun Yingsha Might Not Get 2 On December 30th, Beijing time, Shandong Luneng is really too fierce. They turned the semi-finals into training matches with three 3:0 victories. How should Sun Yingsha and Shenzhen University compete? The final match between Shenzhen University and Shandong Luneng is a showdown in the women's team final of the Ping Super League. However, what makes Sun Yingsha and Shenzhen University desperate is that Shandong Luneng is really too strong. Every athlete on their team is not only at the national level but also in excellent form and extremely powerful. In the women's team semi-final of the Ping Super League against Huangshi Base, Shandong Luneng directly overwhelmed Huangshi Base with a score of 9:0, leaving them no chance at all. All three matches were crushing victories. It's impressive to say that with this kind of strength, they turned the semi-finals of the Ping Super League into training matches. It's tough for Shenzhen University. In the first match, national-level women's doubles Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi showed their skills, facing the combination of Mihara Miyuu and Cheng Hsien-chih from Huangshi Base, they won 3-0 in a domineering manner, and on average only allowed the opponents to score 7 points per set, leaving the opponents with basically no chances. It can only be said that when national-level women's doubles like Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi come to play such games, it does seem like a bit of a dimensional reduction strike. But…

On December 30th, Beijing time, although Sun Yingsha scored two points, the greatest contributor to Shenzhen University's entry into the finals was someone else. Kuai Man made the whole audience cheer, and Sha Sha couldn't even warm up in time, standing there specifically to applaud for her. Shenzhen University eventually eliminated Shanghai Longteng with a score of 3-1, advancing to the finals of the Ping Pong Super League. In the last match, let's see if they can meet Shandong Luneng at the peak. In this game, although Sun Yingsha scored two points as the team's No. 1 singles in the second and fourth matches, the biggest contributor to the victory was someone else. It can only be said that in this game, Kuai Man was really too critical and important. Without her, Shenzhen University would have been eliminated 99% of the time. Sha Sha indeed scored two points, but everyone knows that the most important thing for Shenzhen University to advance in this game is whether their teammates can contribute one point. No matter how strong Sha Sha is and scores two points, it's useless if her teammates don't get any points; this is a team event. As a result, Shenzhen University's women's doubles team had already lost 1:3, and in the third match, Kuai Man faced Chen Yi. If Kuai Man couldn't win, the last match would likely end in a crushing defeat. Because the last match was scheduled between Tan Yuexuan and He Zhuojia, and He Zhuojia's ability completely outclasses Tan Yuexuan, so this match was basically locked…

On December 30th, Beijing time, the second stage of the 2024 season of the Chinese Ping Pong Super League welcomed the finals. Today's first match was the women's team semi-final between Shenzhen University and Shanghai Longteng. For Shanghai Longteng, this is their first time entering the finals. Although their lineup does not include the main players from the national team, it is still relatively balanced. He Zhuojia and Liu Weishan are also quite capable, having advanced to the finals after finishing third in the first stage. After the addition of Sun Yingsha, Shenzhen University has become a strong team, reaching the finals multiple times. This time they are also a strong contender for the championship. Looking at the strength, Shenzhen University has an advantage, with Kuai Man and Tan Yuxuan also having strong competitiveness. In the first match, Kuai Man/Tan Yuxuan faced Chen Yi/Liu Weishan. The first game started with a close 3-3 score, basically reaching the stalemate stage, 7-7. Later, Kuai Man/Tan Yuxuan scored four consecutive points to win 11-7. Chen Yi/Liu Weishan made mistakes later, and their serve-receive handling was not ideal. In the second game, Chen Yi/Liu Weishan had a good start at 4-0, playing aggressively and maintaining the lead at 7-3. Their connection speed was also fast, completely dominating the game and easily winning back with a score of 11-4. In the third game, Kuai Man/Tan Yuxuan readjusted, starting with a 5-1 lead. Unfortunately, they made mistakes later and were caught up to 6-6. They lost their state and lost 8-11. In the fourth game, Kuai…
