I believe that the majority of fans who pay attention to national table tennis are well aware that Ma Long, as the men's singles champion of the Tokyo Olympic Games, although he is already a 34-year-old veteran, is still eyeing the participation quota of the Paris Olympic Games, looking forward to creating miracles and achieving their dreams, so in the case that Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin have begun to lead the Competition for places in the Paris Olympic Cycle, the challenge that is being held in Oman is very important for participants such as Liang Jingkun. After all, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Xu Xin have not signed up to participate, and the main players who are really tested are Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, and Wang Chuqin, as for young generals such as Lin Shidong and Xiang Peng, they are to accumulate energy for the future and strive to rise to the main position as soon as possible. I believe that the coaching team arranged three Mesozoic players to lead, but also want to let these three players have more opportunities to stand on the field of various world competitions, while improving the ranking, but also accept the challenge of various styles of different types of opponents, and strive to improve themselves in actual combat, which naturally includes both domestic teammates and opponents in other teams in the world.
But in the mixed doubles and men's doubles matches, whether it is Liang Jingkun and Ku man, or in the men's doubles with Wang Chuqin, he has encountered strong challenges from his teammates. Faced with the combination of Wang Chuqin and Chen Xingtong, Liang Jingkun and Ku Man were eventually eliminated by a score of 1-3 and missed the next round. In the men's doubles competition, although Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin successfully broke through in front of their teammates Xu Yingbin and Cao Wei, because they had to face the challenges of their teammates continuously, when facing the young and very energetic Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong, the two most prominent young players of the new generation, although they had a certain advantage in continuous attack, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin still failed to go further, after Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong paid attention to the changes in the first three boards and did not fight with them, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin did not seem to have much to do. In the case of a 2-1 lead, not only failed to keep the victory, but also suffered a 2-3 reversal, and finally missed the men's doubles final four, which also allowed Liang Jingkun to suffer from an early exit in the mixed doubles and men's doubles. Some fans may say that this time Wang Chuqin is not also in the men's doubles field with Liang Jingkun to go out at the same time? Why are you worried about Liang Jingkun and not singing about Wang Chuqin?
This is mainly because Liang Jingkun's ups and downs in singles are also more obvious, for example, although he was promoted in the singles game in the front, but there was also a situation where he lost to the opponent 1-11 in a single set, so his singles stability at the same time has some deficiencies compared to his teammates, plus mixed doubles and men's doubles, his current stability problem is bigger, and one of the problems that has been bothering him is also more difficult to solve, that is, it often appears to fight with opponents, spell the first three boards or splice hair, He often exerts too much force and does not know how to win by adapting the situation, so that he seems to have nowhere to go, and he has a good world ranking in the game and a strength and line advantage in the attack, but he cannot be transformed into a game victory in the game. If in the singles field, this time Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin in the same half of the division, can not break in front of Wang Chuqin, as Liang Jingkun, will face the situation of early exit of the third line, we also hope that he can hold the position on singles and make a breakthrough.
After all, Liang Jingkun is the no. 1 seed of the men's singles in this Oman match, if he participates in all three competitions, but finally the three lines are out of the game in advance, even if he loses to his teammates, it is also a blow for Liang Jingkun, and it is also a manifestation of insufficient hard power. If such a situation really occurs, for the big fat Liang Jingkun, the opportunity for Olympic competition is probably really getting slimmer and narrower. Of course, in another sense, a veteran like Malone who is experienced in the competition and wants to play the residual heat in the team, the opportunity really comes.
