00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04In the first two episodes of the Pingpong National Team's exclusive interview,
00:08we talked to you yesterday about the success of the pingpong players in the past few years
00:12on the international stage,
00:14even becoming a shining star in Southeast Asia,
00:18a mirror that other countries cannot underestimate.
00:22And the head coach of the Pingpong National Team, Ma Liwei, said
00:25that behind this is a ten-year-old sword.
00:28Watching these players enter the national team from their middle school days,
00:32and their years of hard training,
00:35now their time has finally come
00:37to compete with the strong opponents of Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia.
00:41And for these pingpong players,
00:44their future goal is to participate in more international competitions
00:48and hope to qualify for the next Olympic Games.
00:51They look forward to standing on the podium.
00:54However, just relying on the players' skills is not enough.
00:57To enter the international scene and step on a bigger stage,
01:00perhaps they still need to overcome a lot of realistic obstacles to succeed.
01:04Let's take a closer look with Xu Cuifen, Shen Jiayin, and Huang Jieqi.
01:09What kind of problems does the Pingpong National Team face in our country
01:13that hinders their performance?
01:15How do they move forward from the obstacles?
01:24PINGPONG NATIONAL TEAM
01:29The training ground of the PINGPONG NATIONAL TEAM
01:32is located in a stadium of the National Sports Council of Kuala Lumpur.
01:36From the entrance, the first training ground is...
01:40This is our training ground for the airsoft.
01:43Next is...
01:44This is our training ground for the taekwondo.
01:47All the way to the end...
01:49Do you hear the sound of the pingpong?
01:51This is our training ground for the pingpong.
01:53The training ground has seven tables,
01:55and the size of the two rooms is their daily training ground.
01:59Through the introduction of the female player,
02:02it turns out that the training ground was narrowed down to this size eight years ago.
02:06I've been training here for nine years.
02:08When I first came in,
02:10our training ground was about three times the size of this one.
02:14It's the same size as the airsoft field.
02:16The training ground has been narrowed down three times.
02:18One of the reasons is that pingpong is not an important sport in the country.
02:22According to the regulations of the International Ping Pong Federation,
02:24a standard pingpong ground should be at least 14 meters long and 7 meters wide,
02:29so that the athletes have enough space to move and swing.
02:33But for the Malaysian national team,
02:35the training ground is much smaller than the competition standard.
02:38In addition to the noise of the training ground next door,
02:40it is even more difficult for the pingpong athletes to judge based on the sound they hear.
02:46I think this training ground is a bit noisy.
02:50Because next door is the karate and taekwondo gym.
02:55So occasionally, it will be affected.
02:59If the training ground is bigger, it will be better.
03:01Because I need more space to practice.
03:04For me, this kind of training ground is more suitable for me.
03:07It's more comfortable.
03:08Sometimes when you push, you will be worried that you will hit the wall,
03:12or that your opponent will pass by.
03:14Many external factors will affect my performance at that time.
03:19The training ground is like this.
03:21So I can only accept it, face it, and continue to strengthen myself.
03:26Because it's useless to complain.
03:28You still have to practice.
03:29So I changed my attitude to continue to practice.
03:35In addition to hardware facilities,
03:36pingpong team coach Ma Liwei told the interview team that
03:39lack of funds is another tough challenge.
03:41Every match requires funds to let the players go abroad to play.
03:45Often this becomes an invisible pressure,
03:47causing the players to be unable to play normally.
03:49Because we play less,
03:50sometimes we go up and we cherish it.
03:53We really want to win.
03:54We really want to prove it to people.
03:56Often when we can't do it,
03:58we are afraid that we won't have the opportunity next time.
04:00So what we are afraid of is this thing.
04:02Invisible, I think the pressure of the players is also greater.
04:05Limited funds,
04:06international tournaments to participate in,
04:08training opportunities to go abroad have become scarce resources.
04:11Coach Ma said
04:12these are the opportunities that the pingpong team needs
04:16to accumulate more experience in the international tournament.
04:19With strength, you have more confidence
04:21and more skill to play.
04:23In terms of practice,
04:24in fact, it's more or less the same.
04:26I think it's more about the competition.
04:28Because in the competition, you can accumulate more experience.
04:30Then the different performances of the opponent,
04:32your own performance,
04:33including the state of you and your opponent in the competition that day,
04:36I think it's more important.
04:37Training abroad is the biggest help to us.
04:40The coach may have learned something different there.
04:43So when we come back, we train.
04:44Training will become more diversified.
04:46In fact, we are more going to practice tactics.
04:48This is what we mainly go abroad to practice,
04:52to learn.
04:53Singapore, their competition,
04:55they have more opportunities than us in all aspects.
04:58Their competition abroad,
05:01the opportunities are still more than ours.
05:03Then our players' competition opportunities
05:06are not as satisfactory as those of strong countries and good players.
05:13For me,
05:14I still need more money to invest to develop this sport.
05:20Although the training ground has been compressed,
05:22lack of funds,
05:23but the national team of table tennis is still in the limelight.
05:27Rely on the resources they have to fight hard.
05:29I hope the national team of table tennis can have a good result
05:32and be noticed by everyone.
05:33For the performance of the national team of table tennis,
05:35the players all gave almost the same answer.
05:39Maybe in the middle,
05:41sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down.
05:43But of course we have to rely on more competition experience.
05:46In recent years,
05:47everyone's confidence,
05:49because they have seen the results,
05:50then the target is moving forward.
05:53So I think it's in the middle.
05:55The recent achievements of the Malaysian table tennis team
05:57have successfully boosted the confidence and confidence of the national team.
06:01Now everyone's goals are more consistent.
06:03Work hard together,
06:04sweat together,
06:06and work hard for this year's Olympics.
06:08This year is definitely the Olympics,
06:10the champion.
06:11The biggest goal is this year's SEA Games.
06:13The players are very likely to get good results,
06:17better results than before.
06:18I personally want to win gold in the SEA Games
06:22and qualify for the Olympics.
06:24Because last year,
06:25the 2024 Olympics was very close.
06:27I was in the top 4,
06:29so I don't think it's that far away.
06:32The short-term goal is to win gold in the Olympics.
06:34The long-term goal is to qualify for the Olympics.
06:38What's your goal?
06:41I hope I can do it.
06:42I hope so.
06:43You must do it.
06:45In their eyes,
06:46there is no hesitation,
06:47no retreat.
06:48What they have is the determination to win
06:50and the faith to fight for the country.
06:52I hope they can not only meet their expectations,
06:55but also fulfill the dream of every athlete
06:57to stand on the Olympic podium.
06:59Go, SEA Games!
