In the table tennis arena of this Paris Olympic Games, Japanese table tennis players Zhang Benzhi and left a deep impression on everyone. On the one hand, it’s because Zhang Benzhihe bid farewell to the mixed doubles stage early, and on the other hand, it’s because Zhang Benzhihe created a lot of trouble for national table tennis player Fan Zhendong in the men’s singles event. If it weren’t for Fan Zhendong’s excellent psychological quality , then Tomokazu Zhang Benz really may continue to hit the podium!
Originally, many Chinese fans didn’t like Zhang Benzhihe, especially when he was eliminated unexpectedly in the mixed doubles event, which aroused the ridicule of netizens. The reason is also very simple, that is, Zhang Benzhihe’s ancestral home is Sichuan, and now But playing for the Japanese team, this naturally makes Chinese fans feel very uncomfortable. However, Tomokazu Harimoto has gained something. After all, his competitive form in the men's singles arena and his heart-warming behavior after the game have improved Tomokazu Harimoto's reputation.
Why Zhang Benzhi and his reputation have improved? Is it just because he lost to Fan Zhendong? In fact, this is not the case. The main reason is that Zhang Benzhihe let everyone see his love for table tennis and that his growth rate is indeed too fast. After he was eliminated, he took the initiative to congratulate Fan Zhendong for his advancement. After sending blessings to Fan Zhendong, Zhang Benzhihe turned around and squatted on the ground crying. This scene was really touching.
After Tomokazu Harimoto missed the podium in mixed doubles and men's singles, his life experience was revealed by netizens again. Then some netizens began to feel sorry for Tomokazu Harimoto, saying that it was not his fault that he became a Japanese national. What happened? What is the situation? It turns out that strictly speaking, it was his parents who helped him decide to become a Japanese national. Tomokazu Hari was still young at the time, so what choice did he have? If you really want to blame Harimoto Tomokazu for playing for Japan Table Tennis, then you really have to blame Harimoto Tomokazu's parents.
After all, both Zhang Benzhihe’s parents were Chinese. Both Zhang Benzhihe’s father, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Benzhihe’s mother, Zhang Ling, had played for the Chinese table tennis team, and Zhang Ling had also played with Deng Yaping. After passing his teammates, it can be seen that Tomokazu Harimoto’s parents are also top table tennis players. However, the cruelty of competition in national table tennis is obvious to all. The speed of upgrading is indeed too fast, and the peak period of athletes is limited. When Tomokazu Harimoto’s parents failed to make a name for themselves in the national team, they naturally sought to Other development opportunities, such as going to other countries to serve as table tennis coaches and continue to engage in the table tennis career that you love.
In fact, it is not a fault to go abroad to seek development. It is a pity that Tomokazu Harimoto’s parents chose Japan. In the end, Tomokazu Harimoto, Harumoto Mei, and , the brothers and sisters, became Japanese nationals and then competed against the national table tennis team in the international arena. , this is indeed too sad for Chinese fans. Today, Tomokazu Chang has grown into a top player in the world. If his luck in international competitions is better and he avoids national table tennis players, Tomokazu Chang will really have the ability to stand on the podium.
It seems that the national table tennis team needs to train more new generation players. After all, Zhang Benzhihe is only 21 years old. This time he can push the core of the national table tennis team Fan Zhendong into a desperate situation. This means that as long as Zhang Benzhihe avoids injuries, Then in future international competitions, he will still be a strong player for the national table tennis team, so the national table tennis team cannot relax and be careless!
