Recently, TV Tokyo's "Zhuoqiu Japan" made a special program. They invited retired Japanese table tennis players Mizutani Hayabusa and Hirano Sayaka to discuss ways for Hina Hayata to defeat Sun Yingsha. The topic of
is very interesting and attracted a lot of people's attention.
Mizutani Hayabusa and Hirano Sayaka are both famous Japanese table tennis athletes. Mizutani Hayabusa has won many domestic table tennis championships in Japan. He has won the men's singles bronze medal and men's team silver medal at the Rio Olympics, the mixed doubles gold medal and the men's team bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Mizutani Hayabusa will retire in 2021. Sayaka Hirano has won the Japan Nishiki women's singles championship many times, as well as multiple open women's singles championships and women's singles runner-up. She participated in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games and won a silver medal in the women's team at the 2012 London Olympics.
Mizutani Hayabusa and Hirano Sayaka have a high status in Japanese table tennis. TV Tokyo invited two people to discuss how to challenge Sun Yingsha. The host of
got straight to the point and asked Mizutani Hayabusa and Hirano Sayaka to give methods and what Hina Hayata should do to defeat Sun Yingsha.
They discussed the game in which Son Young-sha defeated Hina Hayata 3-2 in the Incheon Championship as an example.
In the eyes of the Japanese table tennis players and the Japanese media, Sun Yingsha is like a big mountain, standing in front of the Japanese players, unable to climb up. The host discussed with Mizutani Hayabusa and Hirano Sayaka what Hina Hayada can do to defeat Sun Yingsha.
Coupled with the defeat in the Incheon Championship, Hina Hayata lost to Sun Yingsha 14 times in a row, and Hina Hayata has never defeated Sun Yingsha. At the Paris Olympics, Hina Hayata may face Sun Yingsha again. How to deal with it?
Hirano Sayaka’s strategy was improved in three aspects. The first is receiving the serve; the second is breaking through from the center and pulling back Sun Yingsha’s forehand position; the third is the change of the placement point of the backhand.
Mizutani Hayabusa also gave his own suggestions. But his advice was spiritual. He gave his own example.
The most proud achievement in Shutani Mizutani's career is winning the mixed doubles gold medal with Mima Ito at the Tokyo Olympics.
Mizutani Hayabusa said that before the Rio Olympics men's team finals, he had lost to Xu Xin 13 times in a row and never won once. In the men's team final that year, the Chinese men's table tennis team defeated the Japanese men's table tennis team 3-1 and won the men's team gold medal. The set that the Chinese men's table tennis team lost was when Xu Xin lost 2-3 to Shutani Mizutani. Mizutani Hayabusa took himself as an example. He suffered thirteen consecutive defeats and was inspired by his defeats. He lost so much that his opponent (Xu Xin) thought there was no problem and would not make changes easily, so he won.
Mizutani Hayabusa believes that he can change his tactics at will. As long as he is flexible, he will have a mental advantage. Mizutani Hayabusa hopes that Hina Hayata will be like him and lose a lot in the past, which may pave the way for the Olympics.
Mizutani Hayabusa has won once, and it is regarded as the experience of winning and the magic weapon for winning. He also didn't think about who Sun Yingsha was and how dominant she was.
After leaving the national team, national table tennis players Fang Bo and Yan An often broadcast live on short video platforms to communicate with fans and friends. Some fans talked to them about the methods discussed by the two Japanese table tennis players to defeat Sun Yingsha.
Fang Bo smiled and said that Japanese table tennis preparations were useless. He is also preparing for the competition, but he has a greater chance (of winning) than the Japanese table tennis players. The Japanese table tennis players were preparing for the match, just talking about it, but they were really thinking about (how to defeat Sun Yingsha). Fang Bo's words were so heartbreaking.
As for the way to prepare for the game, Fang Bo said that he should start with Sun Yingsha’s head coach Qiu Yike. Fang Bo believes that his playing style is similar to Qiu Yike's, with a good forehand, good running, and good brains. Is Fang Bo praising himself? Fang Bo thought that if he figured out Qiu Yike, he could defeat Sun Yingsha.
However, Yan An once said that Fang Bo would definitely not be able to beat Sun Yingsha. If the two of them really fought, Fang Bo would definitely lose, which would be a bit embarrassing. Yan An thought he couldn't even beat Sha Sha, let alone those Japanese female table tennis players.
Yan An also shared with netizens the issues discussed by Japanese TV stations. Yan An believes that Japan's main players have been thinking about it over and over again, but they have not been able to beat Sasha. Can those retired players figure it out? Just watch it as a variety show.He also gave examples of how to defeat France through football research and how to defeat the United States through basketball research. Even if the research vomits and cannot win, it still cannot win. Does Yan An mean the national football team? Grab the bamboo shoots!
Yan An believes that TV stations produce such programs just to create gimmicks. It has a good program effect but is of no use at all. It's just that Yan An, like Fang Bo, felt that the methods studied by the two Japanese generals were completely useless and were all in vain. I have to say, what the two said was very heartbreaking.
