You see, since Ding Ning and Liu, both veterans, have retired, those behind them can still climb to the top, at least this year in Paris is carefree.
However, after Tokyo, it was imminent for the men's team Malone and Xu Xin to retire. Only Fan Zhendong could play, and everyone else had some minor problems.
At present, the national table tennis men's team can be divided into several levels according to technology and record:
First of all, there are Malone and Fan Zhendong on the first floor. They are the dominant players, and the last thing foreign players want to face in the lottery is these two people.
Followed by Xu Xin, Xu Xin is the first-class player under these two players, doubles is the golden left hand, and singles performance is not good.
Then Wang, who should be in the top ten in the world, is left-handed, but not as good as Xu Xin at present.
The next floor is Liang Jingkun and Lin, plus a week. Zhou is a young player who has only recently emerged, while Liang Jingkun and Lin are already at the second level of the first echelon.
Players at this level belong to the main level. Except for Lin's achievements in some foreign wars, the other two foreign wars were not so good, and the civil war was quite strong.
The last layer is a group of 92 1 players, belonging to Fang Bo, An Yan and Zhou Yu. They have strength and have a party, but they didn't play. What a pity. For example, Fang Bo is the four-time champion of the World Youth Championship, but now he has become Xu Xin's sparring partner.
Finally, Yuan Lin Shidong belongs to a good young seed, which is currently being cultivated.
These achievements, not to mention Malone and Xu Xin. After all, they are all old players in their thirties and have only recently retired. There are not many chances for Xiang Peng to get a temporary score of 0, so we will not analyze it. Needless to say, Zhou Yu, Yan 'an Fangbo, has no chance at all. Here we mainly talk about Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Lin and Wang.
Fan Zhendong has always been the P card of Rio cycle, and belongs to the fourth member of Guo Ping. The Tokyo cycle is the core of Nandan, but unfortunately he failed to beat Malone, win the championship and succeed. I believe that after three years, it will still be the world of little fat people. At present, he is the least worried.
Wang has a bright future, but the gap between him and Fan Zhendong is obvious. If the coaching staff's plan is to let Wang replace Xu Xin as one of the Three Musketeers, then he is not qualified, and his skills and tactics, physical fitness and mentality need to be polished.
And don't forget that table tennis needs three carriages and three people to support the team competition. Therefore, Wang's level still needs a person to rise suddenly and become the pillar of national table tennis.
But unfortunately, Liang Jingkun and Zhou Helin each have their own problems, and it seems that they are all difficult to succeed.
Liang Jingkun's problem lies in his mentality. Relatively speaking, the technical and tactical defects are not obvious and comprehensive, and his physical fitness is better. Besides, his vision is too narrow. In the previous competition, he dug a forest for his personal fighting interests, which made many fans dissatisfied.
Zhou is a top player in the recent internal simulation competition. He has a nerve knife. Anyone who is crazy dares to win. If he is confused, anyone can fail. Mainly to see if he can suddenly wake up this cycle. If he can't get a place in the competition and reach the semi-finals or finals in a short time, his chances are not great.
Finally, let me talk about Lin. Lin's civil war is really fierce. Malone won everything. Except for Liang Jingkun, who is fatter than the above problems, his physical fitness is still a little poor, because he is too thin and has insufficient thigh muscles. He is one of the few players among men who mainly focuses on the swing speed near Taiwan, and his playing style is relatively flawed. Technically, it is difficult to make progress.
So except Fan Zhendong, the other four players are unstable, Wang is better, and the other three players have obvious defects. Compared with the last Three Musketeers era in table tennis, their overall strength is weaker, and it remains to be further investigated whether they can form a list of five people needed for the team competition.
