In this WTT Incheon Championship, Xiang Peng defeated South Korea's Lee Sang-so 0-0 in the final, and scored 0-0 in the second game, causing a certain degree of sensation and controversy.

In the past, it was common to give a point of friendship and courtesy to avoid embarrassment to the other party, but some people have always thought that giving a point is a greater insult.

For this reason, former national table tennis star Zhou Yu interpreted during the live broadcast:

"Because of the current international competition, we don't advocate handicapping 1 points, what we advocate now is to respect the opponent and play every 0 points, if you need to concede 0 points, in fact, objectively speaking, we understand it ourselves."

My personal understanding is that it doesn't matter whether to advocate or not, let it be left to the individual athletes.

If I want to, I'll let it, and I'm sure of the rest of the game, and it doesn't hurt to concede a point;

If I don't want to let it, that's normal. Because it may affect the competitive state, what if I give up this point, I lose my energy, and the opponent relaxes his strength?

In the past, usually, if you concede one point, the opponent usually returns one point for the next point, ending the game; But there are also those who "don't talk about martial arts", and when they get a point, they are energetic, not only do they not return the points, but they are energetic, and they start to do it in a hurry, and the party who sends the points falls into passivity.

Such cases are not uncommon.

In my impression, Liu Shiwen beat Ding Ning and Chen Meng 0-0 each at the World Table Tennis Championships, which was controversial for a long time.

But first, the World Table Tennis Championships was too important for Liu Shiwen to dare to relax; The second is that Liu Shiwen has "suffered losses" in other competitions in the past. Because of the delivery of one point, the opponent not only did not return the score, but instead slammed and chased six or seven points in one go, making the jujube also drenched in sweat and discolored, but fortunately, he finally won by virtue of his strength.

The reason why Liu Shiwen played two 0-0s at the World Table Tennis Championships should have learned the lesson of that time. Including Xiang Peng this time, he is playing on the rise, and he doesn't want to slack off because of giving away a point, this thing sometimes has an impact on the competitive state. Or maybe you didn't want to give it at all.

In the arena, it is always the strong who are respected. Whether you send points or not, it's not worth mentioning.
