After arriving in Houston, USA, the national table tennis general immediately threw himself into the first day of training after a night's rest. During the men's team training, coach Qin Zhijian gave a speech, and the five male players who participated in the World Table Tennis Championships, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao, all appeared.
Previously, the national table tennis divided into two people, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Zhou Qihao, Wang Yidi and other 11 people formed a small team, rushed to Slovenia, participated in two races, won a total of 9 championships, good results, of which, Liang Jingkun won 2 singles championships in a row. The players who remained in China participated in the warm-up competition, and Fan Zhendong defeated Ma Long in the men's singles final to win the championship.
After the 11-man squad arrived in Houston first, the national table tennis troops also arrived safely, and the two-way centaur division met. In the first training of men's table tennis, a total of 14 team members lined up to listen to the training, in addition to 5 contestants, there were also 9 sparring partners.
Judging from the scene map provided by the famous teacher Li Wujun, it is probably possible to identify Liu Dingshuo, Zhao Zihao, Xue Fei, Xu Haidong, Sun Wen, Yuan Licen, Yu Ziyang and others.
In the absence of Ma Long and Xu Xin, the new Five Tigers led by Fan Zhendong will be able to play in the World Table Tennis Championships, which has attracted much attention.
Fan Zhendong is the biggest favorite to win the championship, and his form and strength are superb; while Liang Jingkun played confident in the Slovenian competition and is the most reliable presence besides Fan Zhendong. Wang Chuqin's upward momentum is good, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao are nerve knives, and these three people need to improve their stability.
Behind the long-term prosperity of national table tennis, there are always many obscure heroes. This Houston World Table Tennis Championships is a men's team alone, there are 9 sparring partners, responsible for simulating various opponents, willing to dedicate, but also extremely hard, I hope they can one day also participate in the World Series.
