Yesterday's Ping Pong Super League final once again sparked significant controversy. Due to the interference of fanatical fans, both Wang Manyu in the women's team final and Lin Shidong in the men's team final appeared extremely agitated, which is unimaginable under normal circumstances. It can be foreseen that with Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal, Wang Manyu and Lin Shidong will become the next victims of these fanatical fans. As the head of the national table tennis team, what should Liu Guoliang do? In yesterday's Ping Pong Super League final, the women's team final caused the most controversy when Wang Manyu had a dispute with Sun Yingsha and the referee, leading to a 10-minute interruption in the game. For Wang Manyu, who is usually calm, this scene was quite rare. There are various opinions about this incident online. Some say that Wang Manyu couldn't accept defeat and made a fuss over a single point, while more people believe that Wang Manyu wasn't making a fuss at the referee but was communicating with the referee due to the interference of fanatical fans, which led to the interruption of the game. From the game, it can be seen that the on-site fans overwhelmingly supported Sun Yingsha's Shenzhen University team, which indeed had a significant impact on Wang Manyu and Chen Xintong's Shandong Luneng team. After the game, Wang Manyu rarely roared and waved her arms passionately to celebrate, releasing her pressure. Chen Xintong even praised Wang Manyu for daring to stand up against tens of thousands of people, calling her brave. This…

In the final of the Ping Super League, Sun Yingsha's Shenzhen University fell short of defending their title by just one victory. On January 1st, in the final match of the Ping Super League, Sun Yingsha's Shenzhen University faced off against Wang Manyu's Shandong Luneng. Last season, Shenzhen University, with Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, defeated Shandong Luneng to claim the championship. However, this season, Chen Meng did not participate in the competition, leaving Sun Yingsha to lead a team of post-00s players, which led to Shenzhen University being jokingly referred to as the "Shenzhen Kindergarten Team" by fans. In the first round, the combination of Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi from Shandong Luneng defeated the Shenzhen pair to secure the first victory, leading the score 1:0. Subsequently, Sun Yingsha faced Wang Manyu, where Sun Yingsha made a remarkable comeback after trailing by two sets, winning three consecutive sets to level the score at 1:1. The third round became the focus of attention as Chen Xingtong defeated Kuai Man, securing the crucial second point for Shandong Luneng, giving them a 2:1 lead. In the fourth round, Sun Yingsha managed to turn the tide, leveling the score at 2:2. In the decisive fifth round, young Hong Kong player Tan Yuexuan displayed extraordinary determination, engaging in a fierce battle with Wang Manyu until the fifth set. Ultimately, Wang Manyu secured the decisive point for Shandong Luneng, helping them defeat Shenzhen University with a final score of 3:2 to claim the championship. With this victory over Sun Yingsha's Shenzhen University team, how much…

The announcement of the national table tennis team's Singapore Grand Slam lineup has sparked an immediate reaction from the outside world: "The three giants are not here, so is this new combination reliable?" Looking at the layout of the list, it is clear that the national table tennis team is using a top-level event to pave the way for the new cycle, but what kind of report card will this wave of "experimentation" deliver? We need to delve into this. Men's doubles: What is the bet with Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong? Wang Chuqin, known as the "golden left hand," has rich experience in doubles and is a double ace of the national table tennis team. On the other hand, Lin Shidong is young and energetic, but his experience in doubles is slightly weak. Although they have cooperated in the men's team at the Asian Championships, that was a short-term collaboration in a team event, which is different from officially participating as a pair. Looking at the men's doubles field, international opponents like Tomokazu Harimoto/Koki Niwa have默契配合 and mature playing styles, posing a significant challenge to the national table tennis team. So why did the national table tennis team choose this new partner? The answer is one word: practice. The core task of the new cycle is to break the old pattern and cultivate new generations. Wang Chuqin's task of "taking care of the baby" is not only about performance on the court but also about allowing young players like Lin Shidong to accumulate pressure resistance in major competitions. If…

On January 2nd, Beijing time, Sun Yingsha really did her best. Not only did she make two incredible comebacks to score two points, but she also had to teach Tan Yuexuan how to play against Wang Manyu. In order to win the championship, Sasha fought hard, but Shenzhen University lost, yet she herself did not lose. Shenzhen University ultimately lost 2:3 to Shandong Luneng, forfeiting the title of this season's table tennis super league finals. However, it must be said that although Shenzhen University lost, Sun Yingsha did not lose; she truly gave it her all. On one hand, she scored two points as the first singles player, and on the other, she had to teach her teammates how to win, even sacrificing her own time for warm-up. Sasha has done everything she could. From a personal standpoint, Sun Yingsha has no regrets about this final. She trailed 0:2 against Wang Manyu but staged an incredible comeback to win three straight games. Against Qian Tianyi, she was down 1:2 and faced some controversial calls, but she still managed to win two consecutive games to complete the great comeback. Twice she played full ten games, winning both matches, and she has already scored as much as she could. We cannot expect Sun Yingsha to do more. In a singles match, she can only earn 1 point, and as the first singles player, she has already secured two points, which is more than enough. As the oldest and core player in the team, Sasha had no issues in singles play. Moreover, to…

In the men's team final of the 2024 Ping Pong Super League Finals, Shandong Weiqiao faced Huangshi Base. In the second match, which was a focus of attention, Wang Chuqin emerged victorious over Lin Shidong with a score of 3-2 (6-11, 12-10, 11-4, 6-11, 11-5), helping Shandong Weiqiao take a 2-0 lead in the overall score! After winning this crucial match, Wang Chuqin let out a loud roar to the sky, releasing his pent-up emotions, which clearly showed how difficult it was to win this match, as Lin Shidong's play made him very uncomfortable. This also indicates that Wang Chuqin still needs to further strengthen his emotional control; with his abilities, he might not have needed to go all five sets to determine the outcome, but his often impetuous temperament may limit his performance. In the women's team final that concluded earlier, Shandong Luneng, represented by Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Qian Tianyi, narrowly defeated Shenzhen University, represented by Sun Yingsha and Kuai Man, with a score of 3-2, securing the championship. With "three women making a drama," the girls' finals often generate more topics, and two controversial incidents occurred. The first incident involved Sun Yingsha questioning whether her ball had touched the edge during her match against Qian Tianyi from the national team, as she heard a sound. However, Qian Tianyi denied it, and the referee did not allow a replay review, directly awarding the point to Qian Tianyi. This incident caused a huge uproar, as Sun Yingsha has many fans, and most of those criticizing online are female,…

The Ping Pong Super League women's team event concluded with Shandong Luneng defeating Shenzhen University 3-2. However, during the competition, fans were concerned when the usually good-natured Wang Manyu became angry and her emotions lingered for a while. Additionally, Sun Yingsha also had a brief disagreement with the referee over a close call, but she quickly regained control of her emotions. The three reasons why Wang Manyu got angry are as follows: During the fifth match of the team event, with the score tied at 2-2 between Shandong Luneng and Shenzhen University, Wang Manyu faced off against Tan Yuexuan in the fourth set. The referee believed that one of the balls bounced twice, leading to a dispute between both sides and their coaches. Wang Manyu was indeed very angry at that moment. She approached Sun Yingsha to discuss a solution, but from Wang Manyu's expression, it could be felt that she did not receive the response she wanted. The referee then decided that the point would not count. Wang Manyu, who is very competitive, felt immense pressure, especially since she had been overtaken by Sun Yingsha after leading in the first two sets of the second match, which had already caused some fluctuations in her state and emotions. In a post-match interview, Wang Manyu also mentioned that her poor emotional state was related to Sun Yingsha's outstanding performance. Furthermore, players have the right and obligation to fight for points on the court, as even a single point can affect the outcome of the team's victory or defeat. Therefore, Wang Manyu's…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the women's team final of the Ping Pong Super League finals saw a fierce battle between Shenzhen University and Shandong Luneng. The match went to five sets before a winner was decided. Despite Sun Yingsha scoring two points, Shenzhen University fell short with a 2-3 defeat to Shandong Luneng, securing the runner-up position in the Ping Pong Super League finals. Led by Wang Manyu, Shandong Luneng emerged as the champions and the biggest winners. First Set (11-5, 7-11, 5-11, 11-13): Xuan/Tianyi 1-3 Qian Tianyi/Chen Xingtong. Shenzhen University lost the first set, which was expected. Both Qian Tianyi and Chen Xingtong are main players for the national table tennis team, having participated in many international competitions. Although they are not considered absolute core players, they are already capable of competing with several Olympic champions. Second Set (9-11, 4-11, 11-9, 11-7, 11-5): Sun Yingsha 3-2 Wang Manyu. This set was particularly stressful for Sun Yingsha, especially after falling behind 0-2 in the first two games. In the third game, Sun Yingsha made a comeback with an 11-9 victory, and her state continued to improve, eventually reversing the situation against Wang Manyu. Sun Yingsha celebrated with a clenched fist, and the battle between the world's number 1 and number 2 did not disappoint the fans, being hailed as the most exciting match in the Ping Pong Super League so far. Third Set (8-11, 5-11, 11-7, 7-11): Man 1-3 Chen Xingtong. Man was defeated by Chen Xingtong, showing a gap in skill. Chen Xingtong contributed two points for Shandong…

On January 1st, the Ping Pong Super League (Ping Chao) concluded with a final match between Wang Manyu's Shandong Luneng and Sun Yingsha's Shenzhen University. Compared to Shandong Luneng, which had Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, Fan Siqui, and Xu Yi, Shenzhen University was left with a "kindergarten" lineup consisting of Kuai Man, Tan Yuxuan, and Wu Yonglin. In the first match, the double national team combination of Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi easily defeated the Shenzhen University team, securing the first point. However, in the subsequent women's singles match, Sun Yingsha made a comeback from 2-3 to win, earning the first point for Shenzhen University, making the score 1:1. In the third match, Chen Xingtong defeated Kuai Man from Shenzhen University, adding another point for Shandong Luneng, bringing the score to 2:1. At a critical moment, Sun Yingsha once again turned the tide against Qian Tianyi, tying the score at 2:2. In the decisive match, Wang Manyu faced off against the young Hong Kong player Tan Yuxuan. Despite Tan Yuxuan's advantage in terms of strength, Wang Manyu won the first set easily. Tan Yuxuan fought back to even the score at 1:1, but after adjustments, Wang Manyu ultimately secured the victory, helping Shandong Luneng win the championship with a final score of 3:2. With this victory, Shandong Luneng has won the women's team competition of the 2024 Ping Pong Super League. After the match, fans were curious about how much prize money Shandong Luneng would receive as champions. It is well-known that when they won in 2022, their…

The 2024 Women's Table Tennis Super League (乒超) final concluded with Shandong Luneng winning the championship over Shenzhen University with a total score of 3-2. Sun Yingsha, leading Shenzhen University, was unable to defend their title. During the match, both teams fought fiercely until the decisive set of the decisive game, demonstrating their full commitment. However, there were two controversies during the game. Firstly, in the match between Sun Yingsha and Qian Tianyi, the "Little Demon King" questioned whether her shot should have been awarded a point due to an edge touch, but this was denied by Qian Tianyi. The referee did not allow a replay review and ruled that it was not an edge touch. In the decisive set, Wang Manyu faced the young player Tan Yuxuan. Initially thought to be a one-sided match, it became contentious when there was a dispute over whether Tan Yuxuan's ball bounced twice on the table before being returned. The argument dragged on, with the audience becoming unruly, creating a chaotic atmosphere akin to a vegetable market. Wang Manyu even argued with the coach and Sun Yingsha on the sidelines to prove her point, highlighting the intense rivalry in the match. After all, Sun Yingsha had already faced a controversial call regarding an edge touch, and her teammate Tan Yuxuan was gaining momentum in the decisive set, so they hoped to contest more. Notably, many of Sun Yingsha's fans were dissatisfied after the match, questioning the referee's differential treatment: "Why can't Sun Yingsha see the replay when the referee doesn't allow it, yet…
