In the eyes of the majority of fans, because Ma Long and Xu Xin, the two veterans, are over 30 years old and have faded out in recent major competitions, the national table tennis choice to give the veteran a holiday is undoubtedly to let more newcomers stand out and become Fan Zhendong's helpers and partners to move forward together. After participating in the World Table Tennis Championships and the WTT World Cup, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun's world rankings are indeed more stable than in the past, and their rankings have improved, so that the entire national table tennis men's team has firmly occupied 5 seats in the world's top 10 rankings, namely Fan Zhendong with 14145 points in the first place and Ma Long, a double-lap Grand Slam player in the second place, whose points are 10510 points, and Xu Xin's 8630 points in the 3rd place. Ranked 7th and 8th are two mesozoic players of national table tennis, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun, respectively, with 7320 and 7203 points in their rankings.
On the surface, the national table tennis occupies 5 places in the world's top 10 rankings, and Liang Jingkun has come to 8th place in the world ranking even if he ranks 5th in the national table tennis team. It can be seen that the ranking advantage of the national table tennis men's team is more obvious, and there seems to be no obvious gap with the women's table tennis side, but this obvious has not really exchanged for the team advantage of the national table tennis. Fan Zhendong wants to really have a helper, and there is still a way to go, why do you say so?
Because the real world master does not only look at the world rankings, for example, Ochalov is the strongest player in German men's table tennis now, and his competitiveness in the world championships is almost comparable to the main players of national table tennis, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long want to win him, the difficulty is not small. He surpassed Zhang Benzhi and Lin Yunru and Calderano, but Ochalov was suddenly injured before he left for the country, that is, before he was going to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, which caused him to be unable to participate, so that now his ranking has dropped, and the points have not risen, and he is now ranked ninth with only 6968 points. Lower than Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun.
However, the two players of the national table tennis, from Lin Gaoyuan to Liang Jingkun, although they are ranked a little higher than Ochalov, but if these two players compete with Ochalov, no one dares to say that they can defeat their opponents, and even lose more. Even compared with Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhihe and Calderano, the chances of winning between the two players are not more than 50%. At the WTT World Cup, Lin Gaoyuan's match with Caldrano was even more one-sided, and he seemed to have no way to fight back. So overall, although on the surface it seems that lin gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun's performance is very strong, the points are getting higher and higher, and the ranking is becoming more and more stable, but this is based on the fact that they have participated in more competitions recently, and even replaced the previous opportunities for Ma Long and Xu Xin. If there is no such opportunity in the future, or the two veterans will continue to participate, Ocharov can return, and really meet Calderano, Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru or Ochalov and Pol relatively early, whether these two players can walk a few more steps, break through a few more levels, and whether they can get a good ranking is still unknown.
In addition, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun did not perform well on the WTT World Cup, and both of them appeared to be out of the first round. Perhaps in the eyes of some fans, Lin Gaoyuan's loss to Calderano is not a big deal, after all, the opponent is already the top four players in the world rankings, but as the mesozoic generation cultivated by the national table tennis, if it has not been able to pass Calderano, how can such a player really become Fan Zhendong's right-hand man? In the same situation, Liang Jingkun was also lost to Anglo in the first round of the World Cup after fatigue fighting. Aruna's personal strength is possessed, but if you put him in the position of a world-class master, surely everyone will not agree, and he can only be regarded as a world-class master. Liang Jingkun is difficult to mobilize a good state in front of a second-rate master, he can't resist when he encounters difficulties, fatigue combat is just an excuse, and poor state can only be temporary. Think about it, Fan Zhendong is also facing continuous fatigue fighting, and every time he has reached the final, but he can mobilize himself very well and finally win the championship, why can't Liang Jingkun do this well? We can only say that this also shows that Liang Jingkun's world ranking is also artificially high.
On the contrary, the current world ranking is still in more than a dozen Wang Chuqin, relative to Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun competitive performance is getting stronger and stronger, the overall stability of the improvement, as well as the world in front of the master of the surface of the sense of victory is getting stronger and stronger, he also needs to change, is to have a more stable mentality, and constantly polish his own details and technology, to avoid his own situation in the key competition, as long as he can reasonably solve these problems, with the increasing number of future opportunities to participate, If you can avoid an early encounter with the players in the national table tennis team, you have a good chance to break into the world's top ten rankings, and take the lead in standing out among young players and becoming a powerful assistant to Fan Zhendong. Of course, now Xiang Peng's world ranking is also rising relatively rapidly, although he is still very young, but if Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan continue this kind of play now, can not continue to break through themselves, the future national table tennis coaching team is not broken, treat him as a key object to cultivate, expect him to advance to the top is not impossible.
