As a brother of the national table tennis men's team, Fan Zhendong has been loved by many fans. Outstanding technical strength, cute and cute appearance, and determination to move forward all the way have made Xiao Fat gain tens of thousands of male and female fans. So what kind of growth experience and life story does this 25-year-old "flower season veteran" have?
Born in a working family, he was able to waive tuition fees for playing ball, and thus went to the career path of table tennis.
With chubby white skin and cute appearance, if you don't know his family situation, you are likely to think of him as a handsome rich second generation. However, our "first brother" was born in an ordinary family. On January 22, 1997, a boy fell to the ground in Guangzhou's Haizhu District, and this boy was Fan Zhendong. Xiao Fat's hometown is in Hunan, and his parents came to Guangzhou on a part-time basis. Parents are out all year round, and like many left-behind children, Xiao Fat is raised by grandma. When he was 5 years old, his little fat parents heard that there was a sports team in the school, and children who entered the sports team could also reduce part of the tuition fee. Near Xiao Fat's home is the Children's Palace in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, so his parents reported table tennis to Xiao Fat. Most children love to "move more", but table tennis is played around the table, and the little fat who just picked up the racket is not very interested in table tennis. However, with the encouragement of his parents and coaches, Fan Zhendong began to show his talent in table tennis.
As the saying goes: three years old to see big, seven years old to see old, in every stage of growth, there is always the point that triggers you. The point that triggered the little fat was not a certain world champion from table tennis, but a "goddess" in the figure skating world. The training of the Children's Palace can no longer meet Fan Zhendong's potential in table tennis. In 2004, 7-year-old Fan Zhendong was favored by the Guangzhou Weilun Sports School, which trained Liu Shiwen and many other table tennis players. After 4 years of solid training in the municipal sports school, 11-year-old Xiao Fat was called into the Bayi table tennis team. In this glorious collective, world champions such as Wang Tao and Wang Hao were also born. One day in 2009, when Chubby returned to his dorm room after training, he saw his roommates watching a figure skating competition. The figure skating girls are all brightly dressed and have a delicate face, and Xiao Fat is immediately attracted by this beautiful "ice fairy".
In the end, the girl also won the national championship. Probably many people who are familiar with Xiao Fat also know that this figure skating goddess is Li Zijun. Later, Xiao Fat and Li Zijun interacted many times on social media. When Li Zijun made a mistake in the game, Xiao Fat sent encouragement on social media, and on Li Zijun's birthday, Xiao Fat also sent blessings for the first time. Everyone thinks that Li Zijun, who is also a fellow countryman with Wang Hao, is likely to have a relationship with Xiao Fat. However, when it seemed that this friendship was about to undergo a "metamorphosis", we "brother" with great reason and turned off our social media. Xiao Chu knows that as an athlete, it is time for him to practice hard to achieve results, rather than to talk about love. Especially the moment when Li Zijun won the national championship, Let Xiao Fat tell himself that he must also get more championships.
The genius teenager spans the "three eras" of national table tennis, is born with divine power to fight violence with violence, and he has the ability to become the first person in the future.
Xiao Fat is not very old, but carefully calculated, this "flower season veteran" has implemented the three eras of national table tennis: "two kings and one horse", "three musketeers of national table tennis", and "dragon fat python". Just like The current Sasha and Wang Manyu of the national table tennis women's team attacked Liu Shiwen and Ding Ning, Xiao Fat's "veteran" seniority in national table tennis is not short. In 2012, at the age of 15, Xiao Fat was in the national championships, Li Ke Wang Liqin, broke into the men's singles quarterfinals; in 2013, Fan Zhendong ranked second in the whole team with a score of 14 wins and 3 losses in the selection competition through Paris, becoming the biggest dark horse, Wang Hao, Chen Xuan, Hao Shuai and other famous players were defeated by Xiao Fat. Being able to beat so many masters still stems from The fat head coach Wu Jingping. According to the characteristics of Xiao Fat's good explosiveness, Wu Jingping tailored a "violence against violence" style for him, that is, requiring each board to hit the ball as much as possible to launch a full-force attack.
Xiao Fat also questioned Wu Zhi for such a way of playing: "Is it reasonable for me to play like this?" Wu Jingping's answer was: "If you don't fight like this, you can't fight at all." "It is by relying on the innate divine power that Xiao Fat is impacting the main force of generations." After fighting with the "two kings and one horse" career end, Xiao Fat's next heavenly group is the "three musketeers" composed of Zhang Jike, Ma Long, and Xu Xin. In the final of the 2014 Asian Cup, Xiao Fat lost to Ma Long; in the same year, Xiao Fat won the national championship for the first time by defeating Ma Long in the championships; the duel between the two strongest backhands of the national table tennis men's team, Zhang Jike's "Overlord Twist" vs violent Xiao Fat's "General Drawing the Sword", and finally Zhang Jike and Xiao Fat, who were at the end of their careers, left a record of 2 wins and 4 losses. Zhang Jike's two defeats against Xiao Fat were: at the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, Xiao Fat lost 0:4 to the Tibetan Mastiff, and in the 2016 Kuwait Open, Zhang Jike defeated Fan Zhendong 4:1.
Zhang Jike is also a person who cherishes talent, after losing to Fan Zhendong again in the 2017 Asian Championships 1:3, Zhang Jike also patted Xiao Fat's shoulder and said: "Little brother, the heavy responsibility of national table tennis will be entrusted to you in the future." "Zhang Jike was affected by a serious back injury, and the peak period was relatively short." After the Tibetan mastiff faded out of the national team, Xiao Fat began a 10-year-long "dragon fat dispute" with Ma Long. Look at these top players who are impacted by Xiao Fat, along the way, his bloody rain and bloody wind in the national table tennis men's team is much more difficult than the current Sasha and Wang Manyu impacting a Chen dream. If Xiao Fat wants to stand in the first position, he can't attack the "tactical master" Ma Long and rely on his innate divine power alone. The dragon team, which has almost become a master, counts the ball and plays routines than the cute little fat, more sophisticated. To PK with a "double slam" player, Xiao Fat also has to learn to see tricks and play routines!
Budapest suffered a heavy blow, the "hard-hitting" style of play was questioned, and the lounge was speechless for half an hour.
We love Xiao Fat, that is, we love his courage to go forward, and we are not proud or defeated. However, Xiao Fat is also a human being, not a god, and it is difficult for people to accept that he has suffered a heavy blow in the competition. Xiao Fat, who has already held 4 World Cup singles champions, has lost all 4 times of the Men's Singles Championships of the World Table Tennis Championships. At the 2019 Budapest World Table Tennis Championships, Xiao Fat won the first place in the team selection competition and summoned up enough confidence to impact the men's singles champion of the World Table Tennis Championships. However, Xiao Fat, who only aims to defeat Ma Long, is accidentally eliminated by The Big Fat Liang Jingkun. In that time period, Da Fat followed Liu Guoliang's advice and replaced the backhand rubber. Liang Jingkun, who "hits hard with hard" with infinite strength, is not at all inferior to Xiao Fat. After being eliminated by The big fat, Xiao Fat and Wang Hao stayed in the lounge, and the two people stayed for half an hour without speaking.
As the saying goes, boys have tears and don't flick, for this world table tennis tournament how many days and nights, how much sweat these two men, Xiao Fat, Wang Hao can not accept such a fact. The impact of the loss of the big game on the psychology of Xiao Fat is that he has lost 9 consecutive battles inside and outside, and the spirited, fearless Little Fat is gone, he began to doubt himself, am I okay? Why did you lose? The prescription given by Liu Guoliang and Qin Zhijian is: technology is still the first in the world, and psychologically cannot face itself. In fact, the level between the strong and strong dueling teammates is between Bo Zhong, and the championship of the competition depends more on the breath in his heart, whose tone is longer and more fierce, who is the final king. Xiao Fat broke through the final Ma Long pass, in addition to psychologically believing that he can defeat the dragon team, technically he must also learn to attack the first three boards and play routines in the control of the stage. Malone can play until the age of 34 and win the Olympic championship, that is, his ability to count the ball in the first three boards and control the opponent is too strong.
The replacement of the old and new kings has never been because of the victory of a battle, but because it marks the advent of a new era. The several key time points of Xiao Fat's impact on Malone are: the 2021 National Games Men's Team Final, Xiao Fat in the case of falling behind in the decider 6:10, desperate, let go of a fight, and finally reverse Malone, this victory also marks the "new king" really psychologically, began to cross Malone; next, the Houston World Table Tennis Championships Team Selection, Xiao Fat only took 20 minutes to sweep the Dragons 4:0, which marked that Xiao Fat had technically opened the fortress in cracking Malone's control routine; the recently concluded Grand Slam Singapore Station, Malone and Xiao Fat once again wrestled to the decider, the veteran's spirit of not giving up was precious, and the determination of the "new king" not to admit defeat was admirable. In the end, Xiao Fat defeated Malone 4:3 to win the first WTT Grand Slam title. It should be said that the "dragon fat dispute", as Ma Long grows older and his ability declines, Xiao Fat has become the strongest "brother" of national table tennis.
Our Dongge has come all the way, he is stepping on the fastest Grand Slam like Zhang Jike, ma Long such an unprecedented double slam, built and trained, can he not be strong? 2 years later, the Paris Dragon Team is 36 years old, Xiao Chu will reach its peak in technology, psychology and experience, and we look forward to a cute and cute Little Fat and truly become a man standing on the top of the world! Play hard power, play routines, just come, we will see the most brilliant, the most wonderful Fan Zhendong! Looking forward to coronation of Little Fat Paris!!
