乒超联赛比肩NBA国际化 海外兵团五大高手集体加盟
  2008年中国乒乓球俱乐部超级联赛即将在十一黄金周期间拉开战幕。9月25日,国家体育总局乒羽中心主任刘凤岩在接受记者采访时表示,为提高乒超联赛的国际化程度,早日实现将乒超打造成“乒乓球NBA”的目标,乒超联赛在吸引高水平外援参赛的同时,有望接纳整支国外优秀俱乐部参加比赛。

  在上个赛季,乒超联赛没有引进任何外援。刘凤岩说:“考虑到整个赛季的稳定性,我们原来想学习一下德国俱乐部的做法,不能参加整个赛季的运动员就不能来。现在看来这样的规定可能限制太大了,有些队员想来也来不了。如果我们的着力点是打造国际品牌的话,没有一些国际上的优秀运动员参加,乒超联赛就很难实现这个理想,今年我们就放宽了尺度,不管你能不能参加整个赛季的比赛,各个俱乐部都可以招外援,但必须提前注册,赛中就不能再注册了。”

  截至目前,本赛季乒超联赛的注册工作已经全部结束,除了71名在中国乒乓球协会注册的运动员,还有11名来自韩国、新加坡、日本和中国香港的选手。其中5名女子海外球员简直就是海外兵团中实力最强的五大高手,分别是新加坡的李佳薇和冯天薇、中国香港的帖雅娜和姜华珺、韩国的唐娜。尽管外援的参赛条件有所放松,不过并没有欧洲选手参加今年的乒超联赛。“今年欧洲选手来不了有几个原因。有些老运动员在参加了奥运会之后感觉比较累,很快就进入乒超联赛,可能适应不了。另外欧洲俱乐部在这个时间段也有比赛,他们也有限制,打了欧洲的比赛就来不了中国了。”

  在乒超联赛国际化的问题上,此前中国乒协在中国公开赛期间与国际乒联主席沙拉拉进行过沟通。刘凤岩说:“沙拉拉认为从国际乒联的角度来看,今后对中国的乒超联赛要给予大力的合作和支持,他也希望欧洲的优秀选手、甚至是优秀的整支俱乐部队能够参加中国乒乓球超级联赛。对于他的这个设想,实际上我们自己原来也想到过。”

  双方的不谋而合无疑使乒超国际化的前景更加光明。刘凤岩说:“我们也希望逐步加大联赛的开放力度,吸引其他协会的优秀运动员和俱乐部加入。在现在的俱乐部数量暂时不变的情况下,将来可能经过欧洲乒联的允许和国际乒联的推荐,欧洲某一支优秀的俱乐部会加入到我们的乒超联赛中来。亚洲其他协会有些好的俱乐部也能参加,这都在我们的考虑当中。这样既有整支优秀俱乐部参加,也有优秀运动员以个人身份加盟,乒超联赛的国际化程度自然就会提高到一个新的层次,从而能够更早地实现将乒超联赛打造成乒乓球NBA的目标。”

Linz AG-Froschberg - FSV Kroppach
Tonight's biggest matchup of this group will prove decisive for the rankings. The winner of the match will hardly fail to enter the semifinal. Last year's finalists and title candidates FSV Kroppach are the slight favourites even in the away game. But Froschberg's former European champion Liu Jia and rookie Zhu Hong will not be easy opponents. Zhu Hong played for Kroppach last season and knows her former colleagues very well.

Froschberg manager Günther Renner stays realistic: "FSV Kroppach is the title favourite for me, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a chance at home. The guests are under pressure in this match, not us. They have the world's number 7 with Wang Yue Gu but if our Li Qiangbing is fit again our chances go up."

ITTF Junior Circuit Taiyuan, China Open - Xue Jie add to Singapore's Gold Medal Tally
Singapore's fifteen year old Pang Xue Jie won the Cadet Boys' Singles title at the Taiyuan Junior Open on Thursday 18th September 2008, beating China's Liu Chang, Egypt's Omar Bedir and Korea's Noh Je Min en route to a final encounter with a second Korean, Cho Jae Jun.

In the gold medal match, Pang Xue Jie prevailed in five games to collect his third career Cadet Boys' Singles title on the ITTF Junior Circuit. In 2007 he won in Bahrain and Doha.

Pang Xue Jie defeated Cho Jae Jun 18-16, 13-11, 5-11, 13-11, 11-6.

The match was a contest between two exciting young prospects in the world of table tennis, both left handed, both athletic and both noisy! They encouraged themselves verbally between every point. Two young men giving one hundred per cent effort, total commitment; committed to the very end, it was not a heavyweight contest, more lightweight, speed a quick reactions to the fore.

The victor Pang Xue Jie is one of the most well mannered and respectful young men you could ever wish to meet. He is modest in victory, magnanimous in defeat.

Tough Finals or sure the toughest match was the finals, said Pang Xue Jie. It was the first time I had ever played Cho Jae Jun but I have seen him play before; I knew how he played. No doubt he did, he played in a very similar fashion to Xue Jie!

"I think the main reason I won today was that my service and first attack was good" continued Pang Xue Jie. His biggest problem was returning his services; his services were good, difficult to read.

Pang Xue Jie coped with the situation but the crucial factor in the contest was that he won the close games. "I won the first, second and fourth games by only two points" he explained. explainning those three games so closely made all the difference.

Victory for Pang Xue Jie who had not gone through the whole tournament without his problems; in the group stage, one day earlier, he had lost to Lee Seung Yeop of Korea and only progressed to the main draw on games ratio.

He was within a whisker of not even qualifying for the second stage!

It was a good day for Coach Cui Wei. Like Isabelle Li, who some twenty minutes earlier had won the Cadet Girls' Singles crown, Pang Xue Jie attends the Singapore Sports School and is coached by Cui Wei.

It was a good day in Taiyuan for Singapore and both victors, who spoke English fluently, showed themselves to be fine athletes, fine adverts for Singapore, fine adverts for table tennis.

ITTF Junior Circuit Taiyuan, China Open - Isabelle Win Gold!
Isabelle Li Siyun maintained a cool and calm approach to win the Cadet Girls' Singles title. Throughout the game, she remained resolute, no unnecessary displays of emotion, just a totally focused well mannered attitude. She beat Hong Kong's Li Ching Wan in five games to arrest the title.

Isabelle Li won 11-9, 9-11, 11-2, 11-4, 11-5.

The fourteen years old, Isabelle Li is a defensive player; she is neat and compact, moves well and is prepared to attack with her forehand when the occasion arises. The basis is there for a player to develop in the mode of China's Fan Ying; a defensive player with a wide range of services and a rocket propelled first forehand attack.

In the opening round she overcame Hong Kong's Ng La Ke before securing victory in a hard fought penultimate round duel against Korea's Youn Ji Young.

Certainly, that was the most difficult match in the whole tournament, she's a backspin player like me so it was really hard, said Isabelle Li in a very quiet tone of voice, befitting someone who remains calm.

Slaying defenders you have to be patient, I was patient today and I think my attack was slightly better, continued Isabelle Li. In the final I felt confident, I had played Li Chan Wan before and won; that was during July in Singapore at the Asian Junior Championships.

Technically Isabelle Li is very correct but it is her mental stability that shines through. My head was clear today, she concluded; certainly that was most apparent. She has a stoic character, there could be a revolution taking place and Isabelle Li would not be moved.

A fine effort by the young lady from Hong Kong but against Isabelle Li she met her match. Gold was in the hands of the young lady who attends the Singapore Sports School and is coached by Cui Wei; the name is Isabelle Li, the 2008 Taiyuan Junior Open Cadet Girls' Singles champion.
