After the Tokyo Olympics, the main force of national table tennis also faced a problem of reordering. The position of the three cores of "Mengshaman" can not be shaken for the time being; Wang Yidi, who has performed better and better in the recent competition, follows "Mengshaman". So who can Liu Shiwen, Chen Xingtong and Ku Man occupy the 5th position? Let's explore it below:
Liu Shiwen must have the ability to reach the final in Singapore to become one of the "five golden flowers".
Liu Shiwen is 9 years older than Sun Yingsha, and strictly speaking, they are separated by a generation of players. Even Chen Meng of the Mesozoic Era could not be counted with Liu Shiwen. Liu Shiwen is a contemporary of Ding Ning and Li Xiaoxia. Many "jujube fans" do want Liu Shiwen to have a certain competitiveness in the Paris cycle. Then, regardless of age, Liu Shiwen must also have the ability to reach the women's singles final.
1. After Malone reached the final in Singapore, the voice calling for his retirement decreased. Why do some more rational fans not approve of Malone retiring now, but support the Dragons to continue to play. We can look at Malone's achievements in the last 2 years. At the 2019 Budapest World Table Tennis Championships, Ma Long won the men's singles championship to achieve the "triple crown" of the World Table Tennis Championships, which is more difficult than defending the title at the Tokyo Olympic Games; Ma Long, 33 years old at the Tokyo Olympic Games, can still reach the top; Last year, Ma Long made 13 appearances in the Table Tennis Super League, with a winning rate of 100%. In the just-concluded Singapore station, Ma Longlianke Wang Chuqin, Lin Yunru and Liang Jingkun reached the men's singles final. In the final, he also won a big 3:2 lead against Xiao Fat, and once forced Xiao Fat to the edge of the cliff 6:1 in the 6th set. Looking at these achievements on Ma Long, I believe that it is difficult for so-called young players such as Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao to do. In such a stable performance and high level, in the "Five Tigers" of the national table tennis men's team, it is really impossible to say that it is not possible to reserve a position for Ma Long.
Liu Shiwen became the "double champion" of the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup in 2019, but the elbow injury directly hit XiaoJu into the "cold palace". The Tokyo Olympic Mixed Doubles rushed to the gold, and the Singapore station was swept by Sun Yingsha 3:0; only the Macau match, after returning to the field, because Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi did not play with Liu Shiwen for too long, they were defeated by the suppression of Xiao Zao's speed + landing point. With Liu Shiwen's current ability, it is difficult to win against "Meng Shaman" + Wang Yidi. Liu Shiwen of the Tokyo Olympic Games has already broken the record for the largest age of participation in the Olympic Games of the national table tennis women's team, and it is completely impossible to compete in the Paris Olympic Games at the age of 33. At the Paris Olympics, whether the 30-year-old Chen Meng could be selected was still a big question. Liu Shiwen, who is on the verge of retirement, can no longer be regarded as one of the "five main forces" of national table tennis.
Chen Xingtong has not completely fallen out of the "five golden flowers" ranks, and Ku Man is equivalent to Sun Yingsha, who just joined the team in 2017.
Many fans do not have a clear concept of Kuman's positioning. Personally, I think she can only be regarded as a shocker now, and it is too early to call her one of the five main forces.
1. Ku Man is following the example of Sun Yingsha and attacking the main position. In fact, The current situation of Ku Man is very similar to when Sun Yingsha was just adjusted to the first team. At that time, Ding Ning, Zhu Yuling, and Liu Shiwen of the first team were still in the main force, and Chen Meng even ranked behind these three main forces. Ding, Zhu, and Liu did not completely loosen up in the face of Sun Yingsha's impact. Including Sasha defeating Liu Shiwen and Chen Meng at the 2017 Japan Open to win the championship, she did not beat the main position of the sisters. Ding, Zhu, and Liu lost their main forces, mainly in foreign wars. The first two faced Ito and could only be passively beaten and had no ability to fight back; Liu Shiwen lost 2 consecutive defeats against Ito before the elbow injury, and faded out of the main force with the onset of injury. Due to the success of continuously blocking Ito in singles, and replacing Liu Shiwen with Xu Xin in the Olympic simulation match, Sasha gradually has the opportunity to enter the main force.
After the 2019 World Cup team competition and the Tokyo Olympic Women's Team Final, after successfully eliminating Ito in the competition, Sun Yingsha also ranked one of the three main forces with these excellent achievements in foreign competitions. Ku man defeated Qian Tianyi and Chen Xingtong in the Oman Challenge, and has not yet formed a real impact on the three main forces of "Meng Shaman". In the foreign war, Ku Man also has no experience in representing the national table tennis in the adult group competition, she is basically Sasha just joined the first team in 2017, playing the role of impactor. Chen Xingtong has strong strength, and won the team championship of the World Cup in 2018, because after Huang Haicheng left the team, he has been in a "free range" state, and Chen Xingtong has not made much breakthrough in technology.
Especially from last year's World Table Tennis Championships to the just-concluded Grand Slam Singapore Station, Chen Xingtong's signing table met Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha prematurely, which also made Chen Xingtong feel that he had fallen out of the "five main forces". On the contrary, under the guidance of Qiu Yike, Wang Yidi has made great progress. If Chen Xingtong is given a clear manager, I think her strength is still above the young Kuman. It should be said that Chen Xingtong has not completely fallen behind, and Ku man has not yet fully impacted the main frame successfully.
Based on the above analysis, the five main forces of national table tennis are still Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong. Liu Shiwen is on the verge of retirement and is no longer in the main category; Ku Man is still Sun Yingsha, who just joined the team in 2017, and she can only be regarded as an impact role, not one of the five main forces.
