1. Xu Xin lost in the last World Table Tennis Championships, which made it difficult for Zhou to complete the team task. Xu Xin's stability in the game is much better than Zhou's. However, in the 20 19 Budapest World Table Tennis Championships, Xu Xin avoided Malone and Xiao Pang and won the lottery, holding the top half alone. Because the last World Table Tennis Championships was near the Tokyo Olympic Games, Malone suffered another knee injury. If Xu Xin can reach the men's singles final, or even win the singles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships, he may crowd out Malone and get a singles ticket for the Tokyo Olympic Games. It was this desire and pressure that made Xu Xin want to win and be afraid of losing. He was unexpectedly eliminated by Simon Gotz, which led to the fall of Guo Ping in the first half.
In the end, Malone, who came back from injury, achieved the "three consecutive championships" in the World Table Tennis Championships, qualified for the singles in the Tokyo Olympic Games and became the first "double slam" in the history of men's table tennis. After losing the singles match, it was also a big blow to Xu Xin. After that, the men's singles and mixed doubles in the Olympic warm-up match lost one after another. For table tennis players, it is unlikely that losing a foreign war will become the main force and be reused. But for the support of doubles, Xu Xin should have been abandoned long ago. What Zhou is facing now is exactly the same as Xu Xin in 20 19. First of all, he avoided several powerful teammates and got a very good signing. Secondly, in the second half, there were a number of famous players such as Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru and Bohr. Did Can Zhou Qi Hao break through successfully?
Zhou does not lack technical strength, but lacks adaptability and technical stability. Being able to beat masters like Malone, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin in the team competition to win the championship shows that Zhou can really do it technically. Once he encounters a foreign war, his shortcomings of poor adaptability and technical exertion such as "nerve knife" are exposed. Don't say that a big competition like the World Table Tennis Championships is the lowest open competition. Zhou has lost 13 games since 20 18, lost1/off-court battles, and the proportion of losing foreign wars is as high as 84.6 1%. At the just-concluded Slovenian Open, Zhou hasn't met such masters as Lin Yunru, all of whom are low-level European third-rate players. Zhou fell into the qualifying round again and didn't even enter the race. With such achievements, can Zhou successfully complete the task of breaking through and meeting his teammates in the second half in the men's singles final against Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yuru and experienced Bohr?
After losing the World Table Tennis Championships again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhou to enter the main lineup at the Paris Olympic Games and cultivate new people. Zhou and Fan Zhendong are the same age. He is not a young player, but Wang, Yuan and Quan Kaiyuan are all young players after 00. After staying in the national team for so long, even the lowest level of open champion can't be won, and the World Table Tennis Championships have failed to meet expectations, so Zhou is likely to be abandoned.
1. The World Table Tennis Championships became the final watershed, and success or failure was at stake. Opportunities are given to you again and again, but you always can't catch them. You have only yourself to blame. The competition of table tennis is very fierce. In the process of preparing for Houston, Liu also invited young players Yuan and Quan Kaiyuan from the second team to participate in the warm-up match. Let these teenagers increase their competition experience with top players like Malone and Fan Zhendong. The strength of these post-00 players is not inferior to that of Zhou. If they are given the same opportunities in foreign wars, their technical stability should be better than Zhou's performance.
The World Table Tennis Championships in Houston is also Zhou's last chance. If you can play the hot state of the team competition and at least reach the top four in the first half, then the result is acceptable. If you swim for another round or two, you don't have to train him. The only function of training is to be able to knock down Fan Zhendong, and to achieve the goals of outsourcing players such as Zhang Benzhi and Bohr. Civil war experts, foreign war lovers, Zhou Helin are all on the verge of being abandoned.
Can you keep it? The men's table tennis draw at the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston is really not ideal. In the second half, only Zhou was a table tennis player, but Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhihe, Bohr, Omar and other table tennis opponents were all in the same half. It's time for test week
In fact, only Fan Zhendong stands out in the next generation of men's table tennis. The main positions of Liang Jingkun, Wang, Lin and Zhou are still not stable, far from reaching the level of women's table tennis.
If Zhou can beat these famous players and meet Fan Zhendong in the final, Zhou's leading position in table tennis will be assured.
Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Wang and Lin are all in the upper half, which means that only two of the four can make it to the semi-finals and only one can make it to the finals, which means that the top players are all internal friction. This grouping is really unreasonable, but there is no way. Now that the lottery has been won, we can only accept the reality.
Fortunately, Fan Zhendong is in a hot state now. Whether Zhou can hold the second half or not, Fan Zhendong should be able to leave the men's singles trophy in China. However, I still hope that Zhou can hold the second half and win the championship and runner-up.
I also hope that Liang Jingkun and Wang Helin can play their own roles. If they play well, it is not impossible to get the top three!
