As the golden left hand of the national table tennis men's team, Xu Xin is actually a more awkward athlete. He sat firmly in the third place in the team for nearly a decade. Although the doubles results are dazzling, his singles strength is really not enough to see. The best individual singles results are only the most watery World Cup, the main force of that national team has not participated at all, and the only national team teammate who went with him is Yan An.
Xu Xin, who has been in an important core position within the national table tennis since the era of Zhang Jike Malong, also lacks some luck. First of all, it was suppressed by Zhang Jike, and then it ushered in the glorious era of the Dragon Team, and then it was impossible to beat Fan Xiaofat. This not only makes us feel that his career is a bit untimely, we can boldly imagine here, if he and the second king and one horse era, will there be higher achievements?
But alas not.
In the era of two kings and one horse, the three people belonged to basically go hand in hand, except for the staggered part of the peak period, the strength of the three people was similar, but Zhang Jike, Ma Long and Xu Xin, and even the strength gap between Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin was not as small as that of the two kings and one horse.
Let's first compare the achievements of erwang yima and Ma Long Zhang Jike.
The two kings and one horse have won a total of 1 Olympic Games, 4 World Championships, and 7 World Cups.
Ma Long Zhang Jike totaled 3 Olympic Games, 5 World Championships, 4 World Cups, And Ma Long was a little stronger.
Although the quality is a little worse than the two kings and one horse, the number of singles champions is 12 on both sides.
Look at Xu Xin again, on the most watery World Cup, how to compare with the two kings and one horse? It's just a little better than Chen Xuan. Given that both are very strong athletes in doubles and both are left-handed athletes, I am more inclined that Xu Xin would have taken Chen Xuan's place if he had been born in the era of two kings and one horse.
I have to say that the competition of national table tennis is huge. Especially after the dominance of the national table tennis has come up, the biggest obstacle for the team members to get results is that the team members in the same period are within three years of difference. For example, Chen Xuan, who wants to win the singles championship, the biggest obstacle is the two kings and one horse, while Xu Xin is Zhang Jike and Ma Long and later Fan Xiaofat.
Chen Xuan has a doubles Olympic champion, while Xu Xin is in the era of doubles not entering the Olympic singles, so he failed to win the Olympic singles championship. However, compared with Chen Xuan's words, Xu Xin still has his own advantages, that is, compared with Chen Xuan, he has more opportunities to participate in the competition.
From the perspective of singles honors, Chen Xuan seems to be only one less World Cup champion than Xu Xin, but in addition to this world champion, Xu Xin has other singles champions with relatively heavy weight, such as the Asian Games, asian championships, Asian Cup, and finals. But Chen Xuan, there was nothing. He was also disturbed by this matter and did some irrational things.
At the 2006 Asian Cup, Chen Xuan lost to Wang Hao in the men's singles final, when Chen Xuan was not satisfied with his performance, and kicked the chair with dirty words. Later, because of this incident, he was punished to go to the countryside to raise pigs. It can be seen how much the failure to win this championship has had a great impact on Chen Xuan's mentality.
Therefore, Xu Xin and erwang Yima will not greatly improve their achievements in an era, which may be another Chen Xuan. Because his technique and Chen Xuan are very similar, a strong forehand, but the front and back are uneven, and it is the left hand, it will definitely be arranged to focus on the doubles.
