First of all, it is certain that Malone and Fan Zhendong are both rare talented players in table tennis. In fact, the difference between two people is nine years. According to the Olympic cycle, they are separated by more than two cycles. For example, their age gap is similar to that of (1988) and Wang (1978) and (1980).
The relationship between Malone and the King of Malaysia changed completely in 2007 and 2008. In 2008, it was hard to beat Malone. That is, when Malone was nearly 20 years old and King Malaysian was 30 or 28 years old. It can be understood from the state and age of their respective athletes when Malone and Aunt Wang are the main players.
Malone won the national championship in 2004 and the national games in 2005, just like the Fan Zhendong 13 National Games. That is to say, Malone's growth period is at the peak of two kings and one horse. Until Ma Wang was nearly thirty years old, Malone had an absolute winning rate against two kings and one horse.
This big main force with a difference of nine years, who is more powerful, also depends on their respective competitive state and stage. Of course, the growth period and peak period of athletes overlap, but there are certainly times when they do not overlap at all.
Now, let's review the stage when Malone played Fan Zhendong. Xiaopang was born in the National Games in 13, and gradually gained a positive winning rate in the match against two of the three main players, Xu Xin and ZhangJike. Malone reached his personal peak on 15. It can be said that since Xiao Pang's debut, Malone has been suppressing Fan Zhendong in international competitions until Malone underwent surgery in August 19. Malone was just 3 1 year old at this time.
This operating period is a demarcation point. Nearly a year and a half after the operation, Malone lost to Fan Zhendong in the Asian Cup, the World Cup and the All-China Competition. But by the end of the 20th century, Malone won back in the final of the Tour and won the singles title of the Tokyo Olympic Games with 2 1.
202 1 year, Malone is 33 years old. The two still have their own winners and losers, and Malone's competitive strength still stays at the level of winning the Olympic champion. In other words, Malone's overall competitive strength is much longer and stronger than that of two kings and one horse.
According to the timeline of Malone and Mawang, Fan Zhendong should have maintained an absolute positive winning rate against Malone after 20 18. But obviously, it's not that Fan Zhendong is not strong enough, but that Malone is really strong.
Speaking of now, Malone is 34 years old, and their last battle is still in WTT. Although Malone lost, there was no problem with the technical and tactical execution. He played the seventh game with Fan Zhendong, but the attendance in the seventh game was obviously very poor, and his energy and physical strength plummeted. Malone is really bad for Fan Zhendong both physically and psychologically.
The alternation between the old and the new is an unchangeable law. But because of Malone's long standby and the rise of Fan Zhendong teenagers, the fighting record between them is really substantial. Therefore, from the perspective of performance alone, there are also comparisons between career and head data.
Compared with his career, Malone is the current goat and the best in history. Of course, I think the record itself is used to be broken. But Malone has won three consecutive world championships and two consecutive Olympic championships. In addition, there is still the champion of 14 1, which is a very legendary achievement in itself and an existence that cannot be easily surpassed. What's the future? It's not too late to draw a conclusion then.
Furthermore, head-to-head data. There is no doubt that Malone is 16 to 6 against Fan Zhendong in terms of international winning percentage. Even if Malone plays for another two years, Fan Zhendong is unlikely to draw. After all, Malone is 34 years old, and it is said that Malone will stick to the Paris Olympics at most, which is less than two years.
Therefore, on the one hand, judging from Aunt Wang's career and the relationship between young players and winners, Malone's performance in the peak period almost reached unprecedented dominance. After the age of 30, you can continue your competitive state for a long time, 19 world championships, 20-year finals, 2 1 Olympic singles.
In other words, Malone's excellent ball dealer and diversified technical and tactical abilities still provided strong support for his game after he was 30 years old and his physical fitness inevitably declined and his physical injury broke out. It fully reflects his strong strength. On the other hand, judging from his current achievements and data, it is even better.
