WTT Singapore Grand Slam men's singles final, the first five sets of Malone 3:2 lead Fan Zhendong, did not expect that in the middle of the sixth set, Malone or 6:1 lead, but in the final stage, it is obvious that Malone's physical fitness has declined, forehand errors began to increase, several must-win balls have been played, giving the little fat Jedi the opportunity to fight back, 3:3 equal, the game dragged into the decider, in the decider Malone also because of physical problems, to the innings 7:11, the total score of 3:4 lost the whole game.
From 3:2 to 3:4, from the 6:1 lead was reversed by Fan Zhendong to lose the title, is Malone really old? Malone's physical strength reaches its limit, his concentration decreases, and the quality of his technical movements decreases. Fan Zhendong's psychological construction is very sufficient, and he has a clear understanding of the difficulties of the game, which is not forgiving for Ma Long. It is really difficult for Ma Long to play at the age of 34 against the 25-year-old Fan Zhendong, and if it is a five-game system, Malone's winning rate will be higher.
Malone is no longer brave, and due to his age, his strength and speed have been greatly reduced. In the sixth set, with a 6:1 lead, there was some slack, and the result was that Fan Zhendong scored five consecutive points to tie, and finally lost this set, and also lost the game, which was a pity. Ma Long and Fan Zhendong were not athletes of the same period, and their techniques and tactics were very different. Although Malone's offensive and defensive balance technology is the peak of the overall situation, by the Fan era, table tennis technology has developed to a series of new technologies such as left-handed twisting and pulling and tearing, and its degree of violence is no less than that of the right hand.
The gap between Malone and Xiao Fat is that the forehand is strong and the backhand is weak, and it has become the attack point of young athletes. Malone's technology has been fixed, there is no more room for improvement, and being able to compete with young people is already a king's style, and it cannot be too demanding. In the past, when Ma Long was at his strongest, Fan Zhendong did not know how many times he had lost, how much effort it took to cross the mountain of Ma Long, and the taste of it was only known to Fan Zhendong, so the replacement of new and old was also an inevitable history.
Malone is in good shape and has a strong ability to read on the playing field. It is not easy to win him in the current state of Malone, including Fan Zhendong. Malone is a double champion, a full champion; Malone did not choose to retreat from the rapids, Malone chose to be repulsed by young players. Don't force Malone to give way, and later people should train hard and defeat Malone with strength.
The strength is played by himself one by one, and it has little to do with Malone's retreat. The strength, mentality, and competition experience of several men's national table tennis teams are insufficient, and it is necessary to find experience from themselves, and a game, find gaps, really learn from Ma Long's valuable experience, and improve their ball skills and competition experience is the last word. Ding Ning didn't want to retreat, and finally let a group of young generals fight down, and we hope that Ma Long will also be beaten like this. The main position is played by strength, and it is not worthy to sit in the position of the main force by letting go.
