Mima Ito really stopped pretending this time and lost all her goodwill!
6 years ago, Mima Ito was the most important opponent of national table tennis, and even regarded her as the biggest enemy of national table tennis in the next five to ten years! However, Mima Ito's good times did not last long. First, she was defeated many times by Sun Yingsha, and then she struggled to win in the hands of Chen Meng. Later, anyone from the national table tennis team could beat Mima Ito.
In the past, Mima Ito always liked to talk big words. Whenever there was a competition, he would say that he would defeat the national table tennis players and win the championship. I fell down again and again and got up again and again, thinking I could do it. However, the number of falls increased more and more, and Mima Ito also went from doubting herself to believing that she could not win the championship from Chinese players.
Mima Ito has a great characteristic in playing football, that is, he is too easy to be happy, and when he wins, his face is almost broken from laughter. When he loses, Ito Mima's face looks like someone owes him eight million, and there will be more and more small moves, and there are endless strange expressions. So even if you don’t look at the score on the field, just look at Mima Ito’s facial expressions, you can tell whether she lost or won, won or lost? Another characteristic of Mima Ito's playing is that her serving action is particularly "enchanting", like a witch doing it.
Many fans think that Japanese players are very polite, especially the female table tennis players, who always have a smile on their faces, even if they lose the game, they still keep a smile on their faces. But Mima Ito is an exception. Everything is shown on her face. She laughs when she wins and becomes ferocious when she loses. Of course, there are still etiquette that Japanese players should have, and Mima Ito is no exception. In the Singapore Grand Slam, Mima Ito swept grandma-level Ni Xialian 3-0. Mima Ito did not celebrate, but ran to Ni Xialian and bowed, which gained a wave of favor from fans.
In a table tennis match, after a rolling tennis ball, a side ball or a lucky ball is scored, the scoring team will usually raise their hands to signal. In this Incheon Championship, Mima Ito met South Korea's first sister Tian Zhixi in the 1/8 finals. In the first game, Mima Ito lost the first game 9-11, with a normal expression on her face. In the second and third games, Mima Ito easily won two games in a row 11-4, 11-6, with a smile on her face as if she had everything under control. But in the fourth game, Tian Zhixi regained the victory 11-8. At this time, the smile on Mima Ito's face disappeared. In the decisive game, Mima Ito was still lagging behind and lost again 6-11, and was eliminated 2-3.
Throughout the game, Mima Ito seemed to be performing a face-changing trick for everyone. Especially in the third game, when she was leading and thought she had a chance to win, Tian Zhixi fell to her knees because of a save. Logically speaking, Mima Ito should raise her hand to signal, or step forward to say hello. However, Mima Ito didn't. Instead, she opened her mouth and laughed, and the air was full of her mockery.
When seeing this scene, fans all said that Mima Ito was pretending that she didn’t want to pretend anymore, and all her good feelings were ruined! It seems that the so-called etiquette of many Japanese players is just an act, and their true temperaments are revealed in every move they make when they get the upper hand.
