Shame! The Civil War King stopped at the Chinese Grand Slam 0-3, Fans: How to get to the World Cup at this level

As soon as the Chinese Grand Slam competition began, the national table tennis team ushered in a scene that should not have happened.

The "Civil War King" Xu Yingbin, who was highly anticipated, faced the French 17-year-old player Koh in the first round and was eliminated 0-3.

What is unacceptable is that he has just passed the team's selection and was shortlisted for the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup roster.

Before he could show his strength, he lost his face at his doorstep. Xu Yingbin, who is only 24 years old, ranks 81st in the world and should have been a backbone force in the rising period of the national table tennis team.

Why do you reveal your true colors when you meet a foreign player?

In the team selection a few weeks ago, he broke through the siege and successfully locked in the last place in the mixed team World Cup. The standards given by the coaching team are key balls and training attentiveness, and Xu Yingbin won in these details.

He played very aggressively in the selection duel and showed enough desire to win.

I thought I could tear off the label of "King of Civil War" for him, but I didn't expect that he fell into a big fuss again in the international competition.

The Chinese Grand Slam match faces French young player Cotton in the first round. He is only 17 years old and ranks 52nd in the world. He plays a flexible and fast pace, and is especially good at launching attacks on the top three boards.

Xu Yingbin fell behind 1-9 in the first game and almost never entered the state.

Although the middle section has briefly recovered a few points, the ending has long been doomed.

tied the score at 10 at the second game, but lost another game 10-12 on the key ball.

The third game was completely disarmed and lagged behind throughout the game. Finally, the game ended 6-11, with a score of 0-3, and there was no power to fight back.

How come this is like a player who has just been selected into the national team competition lineup? It's more like an audience who has a holiday in advance.

Xu Yingbin is not an unknown person.

As early as 2019, he won three championships in the Asian Youth Championship and became famous in one game.

Unfortunately, the subsequent development was not satisfactory.

24-year-old, he defeated top-tier national table tennis players such as Ma Long, Xu Xin, Wang Chuqin, and Fan Zhendong in the Table Tennis Super League, breaking the unbeaten golden body of countless people.

He is called the "super nerve knife" because when he is in good condition, no one dares to win, and when he is in bad condition, no one can beat him. Players like

may seem exciting, but they are indeed the most taboo type in the coaching staff.

Because international competitions emphasize stability, rather than occasionally "neurotic".

This time, he lost 0-3 to Cotton in the Chinese Grand Slam, and his performance was even more sluggish.

Working a civil war is like a tiger, and it collapses in seconds when fighting a foreign war. It is not just that it performs poorly, but that it has no fighting spirit. The disappointment of the fans is conceivable.

I thought I could take advantage of the situation in the Grand Slam to prove that even if I win one or two games, even if I fight to the decisive game.

The result is not even a "fight".

In the mixed team World Cup, the opponents are all hard-working, and one game is negligent and may ruin the victory.

If a player who is in a state of unstable and prone to collapse in his mind is sent to the court, it will not only bring about points but also a blow to the rhythm of the entire team.

Hugo, who also made the first round, reversed and defeated Japanese player Datoshi Shinobuka while falling behind 0-1, and made the name for South American table tennis.

But Chinese player Xu Yingbin lost so cleanly.

Losing a game is not scary. What is scary is that on the stage where you should prove yourself the most, you lose without any resistance.

Especially as a member of the "non-main" in the national table tennis team, every game is not only for myself, but also for the next chance.

Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup is one of the most important team events for the national table tennis team this year, and its value is comparable to that of the Olympics.

The men's team, Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong and Liang Jingkun, were directly selected for the world ranking and doubles ability, while Xu Yingbin won the fierce selection match of "7-choose 1".

He won consecutive victories at Xiang Peng, Wen Ruibo and Chen Yuanyu, and his performance was indeed impressive.

Wang Hao also said that the level of these seven players is equal, it depends on who is working hard on daily life and who can beat the key ball.

But the problem lies here. Xu Yingbin is dedicated to his daily civil war. The key goal can beat his own people, but when he meets outsiders, he becomes another person. The roster of the mixed team World Cup has been announced long ago, but before it is actually submitted to the ITTF, there is still room for adjustment.

Xu Yingbin, who emerged from the seven-player competition, originally seemed to be what everyone expected.

But now this crushing defeat makes the moment when he seems to be buzzing and winning tickets to the World Cup become particularly dazzling. After losing this game, doubts immediately came.

Someone even found out Xu Yingbin's past record and pointed out that this is not the first time he has "fallen out" in the international arena.

Previously, he lost to Zeliko, who ranked 183rd in the Star Challenge Qualifier 0-3, becoming the biggest upset of the year.

Although the opponent ranks slightly higher this time, he is only 17 years old after all, he has little experience and not fully mature tactics.

But it is such a young player who is easy to play and calmly and experienced when facing the "Civil War King" of the Chinese Table Tennis Table Tennis.

Although the score gap between the three games is not big, every time the key points are reached, Cotton responds calmly, while Xu Yingbin makes mistakes again and again..

Judging from the post-match data, Xu Yingbin lags behind in terms of forehand score success rate, post-end extensions, and attacks on the top three boards.

From the opening rhythm, offensive choice to on-the-spot mentality, Xu Yingbin was always in a chasing state, and even showed obvious psychological looseness in the third game.

As a national team athlete, such psychological qualities obviously need to be adjusted.

The biggest problem facing the national table tennis team is not that there is insufficient talent, but how to screen out players who can truly perform in the international arena.

The mixed group is not an experimental field. Once there is a problem with the selection, the loss may be the rhythm and morale of the entire team. The anger of the fans is not unreasonable, but a clear judgment of the results and reality.

Not everyone is matched with wearing the national team's jersey to represent the national competition.

The World Cup of Mixed Team is not an internal competition, and the opponents are all from elites from all over the world.

Especially today, when the international situation of table tennis is incomparable, the men's table tennis rookies in France, Sweden, Japan, South Korea and other countries are rising rapidly.

Young people like Cotton, who have defeated China's Wen Ruibo and Tang Yiren in the past year, and also defeated Matsushima Huikong and Grote in the challenge. This time, they easily "pressed Xu Yingbin to the ground to rub" it. It makes people wonder whether we are selecting the future world champion or consuming opportunities?

Conclusion

Xu Yingbin is a talented player, and no one denies this.

But the one who can really stand on the podium is the player who can perform stably, withstand pressure, and dare to fight and fight on any occasion.

This game may be just a loss, but if he cannot adjust his condition and break through the inner demon as soon as possible, he may be the next person to be selected for the World Cup.

The drums of the mixed team World Cup have sounded, and there is really not much time left for the "Civil War King".
