In football matches, we often see teams such as Liaoning Team, Bayi Team or Shandong Team representing China, but this phenomenon is rarely seen in table tennis matches. What is the reason?

It turns out that in order to maintain the advantage of China's "table tennis kingdom", the China table tennis team mobilized many domestic excellent players to the national team for training, and the number sometimes reached five or six teams. Moreover, the current table tennis is a contest between Asian fast break and European rotation, and the players mainly compete with players such as Sweden and South Korea. Therefore, it is very important for the success of Chinese table tennis players to study the opponent's style of play, so as to practice like a war, with a clear aim and a clear idea. Therefore, China table tennis team not only mobilized many domestic table tennis players, but also equipped some main players with sparring partners who imitated foreign excellent players, commonly known as "behind-the-scenes champions".

For example, in order to win the World Table Tennis Championships, Jiang Jialiang, a famous athlete in China, often practices with players who imitate the top Swedish player Waldner. In this way, Jiang Jialiang can get familiar with Waldner's style of play earlier, so as to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses in the game and take the initiative in the game. These conditions are not easy for provincial teams and local teams. Sometimes, even if the first team of the national table tennis team doesn't visit, in order to accumulate experience, the second and third teams should be sent to visit from the perspective of cultivating novices. Therefore, there are not many opportunities for local teams to replace the national team in table tennis competitions.

2. Why don't table tennis players wear light clothes?

In a regular table tennis match, all athletes wear dark sportswear, which is determined by the rules of table tennis match. Because table tennis itself is white, small in size and fast in flying speed, athletes' vision can clearly see the flying speed and direction of the white ball, so athletes' clothing, even table tennis tables, nets and rackets must be dark or dark. At the 4 1 World Table Tennis Championships, ITTF revised the old rules. The table tennis was changed to orange red, and the table was light blue. Players can also wear light-colored clothes.
