Zhu Shihe, a famous Korean athlete, is another world table tennis player after Ding Song of China. The best result of the World Championships was the runner-up in men's singles at the 47th Paris World Table Tennis Championships in 2003, and it was also the best result of men's chopping in the World Championships in the past 30 years.
As the main team, Zhu Shihe participated in the three Olympic Games in 2004, 20 12 and 20 16, helping the North Korean men's team win the silver medal in the World Table Tennis Championships and the silver medal in the Olympic team. Zhu Shihe once participated in the Chinese Table Tennis Super League and won the men's team championship of the Chinese Table Tennis Super League.
In the last century and the beginning of the new century, South Korean men's players mainly used traditional one-sided play, with Liu Nankui, Jin Zezhu and Ryu Seung-min as outstanding representatives. Therefore, there are few chippers like Zhu Shihe in South Korea, and Zhu Shihe creatively combines the stability of Japanese Koji Matsushita with the fierceness of China Ding Song's counterattack in chopping, forming his own unique chopping style, which is also praised by the world.
20 12 On August 8th, Zhu Shihe helped the Korean men's team win the silver medal in London Olympic Games. After the game, Zhu Shihe revealed that he has Behcet's disease, which is a rare and intractable disease and almost impossible to cure. Zhu Shihe has always insisted on taking drugs.

"Because I don't like reading, my parents have no choice but to send me to play table tennis."
One day five years ago, when Zhu Shihe was interviewed by ITTF after an international open, Zhu Shihe laughed at the reporter and teased himself. Zhu Shihe started practicing from the third grade of primary school. A year later, the coach thought he was tall and had the right personality, so he was asked to practice chopping.
Although I practiced chopping when I was a child, my grades were good. I won the first prize in grade five and remained in the top four in high school, but Zhu Shihe also had the desire and flame to attack. "Most male players are offensive. Why should I defend?" In Zhu Shihe's mind, there is always a saying like this.
However, although the early offensive was not strong, the results have been relatively stable, and the foreign winning rate is high, which has won the trust of the coach. In his senior year, he represented South Korea in the Asian Youth Competition. In the team final, he beat China by two points, and Zhu Shihe's performance attracted the attention of the Korean national team.
Before the 2003 Paris World Table Tennis Championships, Zhu Shihe was unknown in the international table tennis world. Zhu Shihe has also gone through a long period of tempering. People have high expectations for Zhu Shihe, but Zhu Shihe can't make achievements. During the three years from 1998 to 2000, Zhu Shihe had to be a sparring partner in the women's team because she didn't play well in the trials. At that time, Zhu Shihe wanted to give up playing.
Extremely depressed, Zhu Shihe even went to see a psychiatrist. The doctor gave him the conclusion that in this case, it is best to give up. If you get mental illness for this, your life may be ruined. Fortunately, Zhu Shihe, who is stubborn and loves table tennis, didn't really follow the doctor's advice. On the contrary, he adjusted his mentality and trained harder until he became famous through the World Table Tennis Championships in 2003. Since then, it has become the absolute main force of the Korean men's team.

Before Zhu Shihe, the Korean men's team didn't have a world-class helicopter. In the process of growing up, Zhu Shihe mainly studied Japanese Koji Matsushita and China Ding Song through technical TV and video. Ding Song around 1995 has a great influence on kitchen knives.
After becoming famous, Zhu Shihe personally said, "Ding Song was my childhood idol, and I learned a lot from him."
Interestingly, when Zhu Shihe became famous at the 2003 World Table Tennis Championships, she was challenged by the China Table Tennis Super Club. The first owner of Zhu Shihe Table Tennis Super League was Sichuan Hesheng Team. That year, it staged a "double-edged war" with Ding Song who came back from Germany to join the Shaanxi team, and Ding Song won.
It is said that at that time, due to the weather, after the game, Zhu Shihe was seriously dehydrated and admitted to the hospital. Lying in the hospital bed, Zhu Shihe still had a good time! After that, Zhu Shihe played against Ding Song twice and won the second game, but Ding Song, who modestly said "I can't do it, I'm old" before the third game, swept Zhu Shihe 3-0 and beat Zhu Shihe without temper.
After the game, Zhu Shihe lost his mind and admired Ding Song: "Why can't I beat him?" ? Do you think I am the best chopper in the world today? It seems that I am far behind, and Ding Song is still the first. "
And another chopper from China, Hou, also played many times. 20 10 the two men met in the deciding set to decide the title, which is also the "best in the world" dispute. Zhu Shihe fell behind with 1-2 in the first two games and 6: 10 in the fourth. Just as Bayi was about to celebrate winning the championship, Zhu Shihe reversed with 14- 12 and won the deciding game with 1 1-8.
The game made Zhu Shihe more famous in China. In 20 19, they also met in Japan's T League. In that match, Zhu Shihe won 3-2 again, which showed the depth of Zhu Shihe's skills.
Ding Song, Hou and Hou all chop the ball, but they use three different rubber balls for backhand. Another interesting thing is that Ding Song's backhand is positive, long and Hou Sheng. As early as the runner-up in the World Table Tennis Championships in 2003, Liu, then the head coach of the China men's team, once commented on these three men: they were not confident enough, Ding Song had the best talent, and Hou was not heavy enough.
It has been almost 20 years, and Zhu Shihe has finally become an excellent helicopter pilot.

Of course, Zhu Shihe won the silver medal in the 2003 World Table Tennis Championships. In the previous 77 years, Korean male players have never reached the final in the World Table Tennis Championships. In South Korea, this record is still held by Zhu Shihe. Zhu Shihe called this competition "the best competition of my life".
In the quarterfinals, Zhu Shihe defeated Marin of China, the favourite to win the championship, and eliminated the Greek star glinka in the semi-finals. Kong China advanced to the semi-finals and lost to the champion. This is also the only match in the final of the World Table Tennis Championships without China players after entering the 2 1 century, which directly led to the dismissal of coach Yi of the China men's team and the 27-year-old Liu became the head coach of the men's team.
After becoming famous, Zhu Shihe was contested by Korean domestic and China table tennis super clubs. Playing in China is Zhu Shihe's childhood dream. It took a lot of effort to come to China to play. Due to some regulations or obstruction of the Korean Table Tennis Association. Zhu Shihe overcame many difficulties and finally came to China to play, but for a long time, he could only play in China and Japan, but not in South Korea.
In China and Zhu Shihe, from Sichuan to Zhejiang to Shandong and other table tennis super clubs, Zhu Shihe's winning percentage in the table tennis super league is still relatively high, which has also helped some clubs win the table tennis super championship. The most famous game was 20 10, which helped Shandong Luneng win the championship after the reversal of the deciding set. Zhu Shihe is also constantly improving his skills in the Chinese Table Tennis Super League. At the peak of Zhu Shihe, it became a phenomenon that no China player dared to underestimate, and was respected by China players.
Zhu Shihe has also participated in Japanese and European leagues, covering all major leagues in Europe and Asia, but the most important club competition in Zhu Shihe's career is the China Table Tennis Super Tournament.
In the first year of table tennis in China, Zhu Shihe almost died.
In 2003, Zhu Shihe went to Sichuan, China to play table tennis for the first year. Due to the intense competition and acclimatization, he was dehydrated and finally fainted in the toilet. It happened that Qiu Yike, a teenager, found him and sent him to the hospital for rescue. As a result, before Zhu Shihe recovered, he lost 9 bottles of intravenous drip. Because Zhu Shihe called Qiu Yike "the savior".
When Zhu Shihe played in Luneng Club, he had a very good relationship with coaches and players. Zhu Shihe and ZhangJike lived in the same room at that time.
"I have a good relationship with ZhangJike and Juck Zhang. Often go out to drink and eat together. I worked with Zhang for three years. He takes care of me. "
Many years later, Zhu Shihe said this when recalling the past.
On the international stage, Zhu Shihe failed to participate in the 2005 World Table Tennis Championships because of his military service.
In the 2007 World Table Tennis Championships in Zagreb, Zhu Shihe defeated China's promising star Malone in the final 1/8, and lost to Wang Hao in the final 1/4. In the 2009 World Table Tennis Championships in Yokohama,1/lost to Marin in the final. Six years later, Marin finally avenged Paris. 20 1 1 Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships, 1/8 lost to ZhangJike in the final.

Five years ago, he decided to become the head coach of the Korean men's team.
As early as the beginning of 20 17, when Zhu Shihe announced his retirement from the national team, he made up his mind to become the head coach of Korean men's soccer in the next 3-5 years. At that time, the head coach of South Korea's men's team was Jin Zezhu, and Zhu Shihe was already the coach of South Korea's Samsung women's team.
At that time, the level of Samsung women's team coached by Zhu Shihe was not too high. Zhu Shihe said that if she can't bring her own achievements, she may play by herself in five years, which is also the requirement for her coach. At that time, another Korean star, Sang Eun Oh, was already the coach of South Korea's Daewoo Club men's team. Both of them have made great contributions to the Korean men's team.
However, a year later, Zhu Shihe himself scored only 50 points for the coach's performance, which is obviously very unsatisfactory. He said with some frustration: "Being a coach requires not only strength, but also leadership and thick skin." Obviously, Zhu Shihe should not doubt his own strength, but think that he may lack leadership and brazen ability.
South Korea's men's and women's teams have failed in international competitions in recent years. After the men's team retired, and Yin, the local outstanding players were mainly Li Shangzhuhe, and the teenager An Zaixuan broke into the semi-finals of the World Table Tennis Championships on 20 19. But overall, the Korean men's team is now ranked fourth after China, German and Japanese. This is also the ranking of 202 1 Olympic team events.
finally
In 2020, Ryu Seung-min became the president of Korean Table Tennis Association. Ryu Seung-min is determined to revive Korean table tennis. Yin became the head coach of the Korean team on 202118, and participated in the Summer Tokyo Olympic Games. But he failed to achieve good results in both singles and teams. Only one year later, he left school, and Zhu Shihe replaced him as the new head coach of the Korean men's team. It was Zhu Shihe who, together with Ryu Seung-min and Sang Eun Oh, won the men's team silver medal in 20 12, setting a new record for the Korean men's table tennis team competition.
So, what will happen to the Korean men's team coached by Zhu Shihe in the future? Zhu Can Schech won respect for his breakthrough in the teaching performance of his predecessor, Jin Zezhu? Let's wait and see!
