Today we talk about Li Zongwei, as a perennial football fan, I consider the historical status of players comprehensively, and the strength of players accounts for a relatively large proportion. Those who only stare at the Olympics and the World Championships and only look at the championships are as ridiculous as they are just looking at the world rankings. More importantly, high-level data such as win rate, career win rate, and especially head-to-head. To evaluate the historical status of an athlete, the indicator is nothing more than the competition performance (champion), which has innovated the way the sport is played and has made outstanding contributions to the promotion of the sport.
Among them, the champion of the competition is the most important indicator. In other respects, it can only be used as the icing on the cake, and it should not be a hard indicator. Why Lin Dan is not controversial in history first, because he can get high scores in all three areas. The champion of the competition (2 Olympics + 2 World Cups + 5 World Championships + 2 Asian Games + 6 Soup Cups + 5 Su Cups) ride the dust. Next, let's talk about Li Zongwei. The first prize winner of the competition is 0, and this item deducts too many points. Li Zongwei lost the most is the ball with Lin Dan, and there are actually many reasons for this, including saying that Li Zongwei has a bad mentality or is not as good as others.
I personally feel that there are both of these, and if the mentality is not good, even if it is not enough, it is always impossible to meet Lin Dan in the career and the mentality explosion. And the mentality is not good is actually a problem of their own strength, we all know that if you are nervous as soon as you arrive at the competition, you will definitely not be able to get results. No one knows how much pressure he has, and we viewers are not good at speculating about his psychology, which is unrealistic and irresponsible, but the pressure is very high, at least it can be determined. In fact, before the Beijing Olympics, Li Zongwei and Lin Dan were at the level of five or five open, but Tawfik was a year older than the two, and was at its peak, so it was normal for the two to lose to Tawfik.
Li Zongwei played all the World Series, and Li Zongwei's career winning rate was more than 80%, so it was wrong to say that he lost more in the World Series. In general, Li Zongwei is already a legendary star, although he is the uncrowned king, whether he has a world series champion or not cannot change this! Three-time Olympic runner-up, as well as a variety of Asian and small World Singles Champions team champions. If such a standard is followed, such an athlete can rank second in history in his own sport.
Wang Hao is definitely worthy of the second table tennis player in history, why are so many people questioning? Wang Hao can't beat Liu Chengmin, Ma Lin, Zhang Jike, Li Zongwei can't beat Chen Long and Lin Dan, not even an Olympic champion he has, fans dare to say that he is second? We don't count doubles and team championships, Wang Hao has won more championship honors than Li Zongwei, Wang Hao's status in the history of table tennis, Li Zongwei's status in the history of badminton. You don't care about the number of gold medals, do you have the number of silver medals? To add another point, Li Zongwei did not win when he was young, and opponents such as Lin Danchen long look back on their careers, and there will be no regrets.
To take a simple example: Will the team that ranks first in the NBA regular season each year have the same strength as the team that wins the championship? Everyone knows that the playoffs are the most testing stage for a player's success, will you believe that the regular season MVP = FMVP? What's more, you only take the regular season MVP, and others are the regular season MVP and FMVP for several rounds. You do not argue, everyone politely respects you are a senior 55 kai, respect you are also a feather world legend. But what do you have to line up in front of people, really want to line up you don't know where to go!
