The main fault of the national table tennis men's team is a topic that fans are talking about, and the recent rise of Wang Chuqin and the stability of doubles results also make us believe that he is the engine of the future replacement of national table tennis.
There are two reasons: First, he is the most suitable candidate to build a national table tennis troika. The second is his excellent doubles stability.
First of all, compared with men's table tennis, women's table tennis can be described as a hundred flowers blooming, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha Olympic lineup is unbreakable, followed by Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, represented by Ku Man, the post-00s young generals represent the rise of the new generation, coupled with the stability of foreign wars, dare to fight, so women's table tennis has a stable momentum of development in recent years.
However, men's table tennis is stretched to the limit, and the problem of generation breakage is prominent, in fact, men's table tennis has been very sufficient in the 21st century since the talent reserve:
When Kong Liu was "twin stars", Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, and Wang Hao constantly attacked the main position; in the "two kings and one horse" era, Zhang Jike, Ma Long, and Xu Xin stirred up the main force pattern; and in the "Dragon Python Mastiff" era, Zhou Yu, Yan An, and Fang Bo, who represented the 92nd generation, did not pose a threat to their main position, and Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan of the 96 generation were suppressed by Xu Xin and Ma Long, lacking the absolute strength to seize power, and only Fan Zhendong stood out and surrounded.
Even to the Tokyo Olympic Games, Ma Long and Xu Xin, who are in their early 30s, are still sent to play, which shows that the problem of men's table tennis is obvious.
Today, this situation has slowly improved with the rise of Wang Chuqin. In terms of the two challenges and WTT Grand Slam competitions at the beginning of the year, the male table tennis players have more or less exposed the problem, representing the unstable foreign war of the 96 generation of players, and the key moments are always poor:
Lin Gaoyuan lost Wang Chuqin in the decider, Lin Zhongxun in the foreign war; Liang Jingkun could not break through Ma Long, 4-0 brittle defeat, the foreign war also lost to Aruna; Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong, who represented the post-00s, suffered from losses and losses, losing to Gross and Dako respectively in WTT Grand Slam tournaments. Only Wang Chuqin did not lose the foreign war, completed the task well, and even defeated Ma Long at the WTT Macau Race and finally won the championship.
The foreign war is stable, and the athletes in the same era are outstanding, which can be described as the mainstay of the replacement and renewal of the national table tennis men's team in addition to Fan Zhendong.
Secondly, Wang Chuqin's excellent doubles ability has also increased his weight in the Olympic Games. Speaking of men's doubles, the national team does not lack "left-handed generals", on the table tennis project into the Olympic Games, with each national table tennis update, there will always be left-handed doubles iconic figures:
Wei Qingguang, who won the Olympic gold medal for the first time, Wang Tao, who played the horn of the national table tennis from weak to strong, Yan Sen in the "Yan Wang" group who rose at the turn of the century, Chen Xuan, who is known as "killing god" and "outlaw", and then xu Xin, the left-handed artist, and since the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships, the world's first doubles was handed over by Chen Xuan and Ma Lin to Xu Xin and Ma Long, and the men's table tennis has not been able to appear doubles strong players in the future.
Xu Xin's strong doubles dominance has continued to the Tokyo arena, during which he has teamed up with Zhang Jike, Fan Zhendong, and even with South Korea's Liang Xiayin transnational combination can also win the championship throne, although Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun have also tried to highlight the siege, but still under Xu Xin's strong strength, laughingly said that "can't fight".
The new Olympic cycle, although the men's doubles event has long been cancelled in the Olympic Games, but the Tokyo mixed doubles final defeat, the need for the men's team doubles to take the lead, Xu Xin due to injury, physical strength probability of failure to the Paris Olympics, prompting the national table tennis urgently need a doubles player to take over the burden, now it seems that this person is none other than Wang Chuqin!
19 years with Ma Long to win the doubles championship, 21 years of mixed doubles partner Sun Yingsha defeated Zhang Benzhihe, Hayata Xina, WTT Grand Slam event crowned men's doubles, mixed doubles "doubles champion", all indicate the rise of a new generation of doubles overlords, as long as Wang Chuqin maintains this momentum, the Paris Olympic Games will inevitably have a place for him!
Therefore, from the above two points, Wang Chuqin is the engine of men's table tennis, which can become the left arm of Xiao Fat and an important part of the construction of the Paris Olympic troika.
In fact, every time the national table tennis is replaced, the younger generations take over the burden of the predecessors, they are all hammered and forged, and they are slowly achieved by failure and setbacks, such as Wang Hao's loss of the championship in the final of the Athens Olympic Games, Ma Long's three world championships men's singles stopped in the semifinals, Liu Shiwen lost two points in the Moscow team competition, and so on.
Every painful thought is bound to be a strong foundation in the future, I hope that in the wave of replacement and power grabbing by the national table tennis players led by Wang Chuqin, everyone can not be afraid of wind and rain, forge ahead, and the future will always belong to the young generation with momentum!
