Malone is a terrible being, a legendary being! He won the Olympic singles title at the age of 28, but in his long career, he eventually cultivated into a unique "double slam" in history. Imperial Destruction Dragon, HexagonAl Warrior, Tactical Master, how did this former "Little Milk Dragon" get to where it is today?
The thin body was "returned" by the Liaoning team, fortunately met the coach of the Beijing team, and Ma Long continued to be related to table tennis.
Like many other children who exercised, 5-year-old Malone picked up the racket and was sent to practice table tennis. At the age of 11, Ma Long entered the Liaoning Provincial Team, and thought that he would be specially "cared for" by the coach and be trained, but at that time, Ma Long did not show outstanding talent among his peers, but instead encountered a 2-year "cold bench" after entering the provincial team. Due to his thin body and lackluster strength, Ma Long was almost about to be returned by the Liaoning provincial team. However, at this time, coach Guan Huaan of the Beijing team came to "select seedlings" and took Ma Long away and picked him to the Beijing team. As a result, Malone was able to continue his table tennis career. If it were not for Guan Hua'an's trip to Liaoning, we would not have seen this legendary figure of the "Double Slam" in the history of national table tennis.
Among the national table tennis players, Deng Yaping's "fierceness", Wang Nan's "rhythm", Zhang Yining's "defense", and Sun Yingsha's "aura" have left a deep impression on the fans, but it is difficult to find an exact word in your Ma Long to explain his talent in table tennis. At that time, Chen Xuan was sent to feed pigs, Zhang Jike's irritability was returned to the provincial team, Wang Hao and Fan Ying fell in love, and it was Ma Long who made Liu Guoliang the most worry-free. The little milk dragon was so obedient and obedient that Liu Guoliang said, "Ma Long, can you also cause me some trouble?" After the Tokyo Olympics, CCTV's "Face to Face" made an exclusive interview with Ma Long, and when the Dragons talked about themselves, he mentioned a word called "tenacity"! Being able to be "advanced" at the age of 34 and maintain combat effectiveness against young players, tenacity is indeed the most suitable for Malone, and the Dragons also claim that tenacity is also a kind of domineering.
Career 2 opponents, let the Empire Destroying Dragon in the dormant period, Qin Zhijian let it go to the top of the mountain to get gifts, which is of far-reaching significance
The maturity time of each player is different, Ma Long's entire career has crossed the three eras of "two kings and one horse", "national table tennis three musketeers" and "dragon fat python", and the two players who had the greatest influence on him in his early days were 2 players: Wang Hao and Zhang Jike. At the 2009 Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Hao blocked Ma Long in the semi-finals 4:1; in the 2011 Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships, Ma Long finally fell to Wang Hao for the second time with a 2:4 lead in the 2011 World Table Tennis Championships in Rotterdam; at the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, Wang Hao came up to take the lead 3:0, and after Ma Long struggled to win 2 sets, Wang Hao swept Ma Long in the sixth set, causing Ma Long to lose to Wang Hao in the 3rd World Table Tennis Championships. At that stage, Malone's match against the "two kings and one horse" was not a little victory, but all his matches did not come from the three major competitions. Malone himself also asked this question, why can an ordinary game be won, and when it comes to the big game, it is me who loses?
As the "six champions" of the finals, Ma Long won the men's singles championship of the finals for the first time, that is, he defeated the "two kings and one horse" to win the championship! 3 times to impact the World Table Tennis Championships defeat, so that Ma Long's mood depression to the extreme. Zhang Jike, another teammate of the same period, showed amazing explosiveness in the competition. Zhang Jike defeated Wang Hao at the World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup, and the Olympic Games to win the championship, setting a record for the largest slam in 455 days. Malone has played Zhang Jike 13 times in his career, with an absolute advantage of 9 wins and 4 losses, but even so, Ma Long's performance in the competition is far inferior to Zhang Jike. After losing to Wang Hao at the 3rd World Table Tennis Championships in 2013, the 25-year-old Ma Long thought of retiring. Malone is an extremely hard-working, extremely disciplined player, who has given no less than anyone. Liu Guoliang once went to the surprise inspection on Sunday to see who was still training overtime on Sunday, and the only figure he saw was Ma Long! So hard, why didn't the contest pay off?
The first player Qin Zhijian took over after retiring was Ma Long. For Malone's situation at that time, he could deeply understand that in order to let Malone come out, he was really psychologically strong. Qin Zhijian prepared a birthday gift for Ma Long, and this birthday gift he put on the top of the mountain, he asked Ma Long to take it himself, and it was not lit at night, without any other electronic equipment. Facing the dark mountains, Ma Long walked alone on the way to the top of the mountain, and he suddenly understood that he had been afraid of the dark since he was a child, and the purpose of Qin's guidance was to let him really overcome his fear. In order to train Ma Long's fierceness, Liu Guoliang let him be fierce, no longer be a milk dragon, a well-behaved dragon, "a fat man who can't play", directly rolled up his sleeves to fight with Ma Long, and asked Ma Long to win after a big score of 0:2. The refinement of grand slams and double slams is not the light technology you can reach the top, this kind of psychological tenacity tempering, you really believe that you can win...
After Rio won the championship, he built his own "Dragon Dynasty", and reached the peak again at the age of 33, but encountered various doubts
If you divide Malone's own era, it basically began with the men's singles victory at the Rio Olympics, and from this stage to the Tokyo Olympics, his dominance in the competition was almost unsurpassed. In 2015, 2017 and 2019, the "Empire Destruction Dragon" achieved the "triple crown" of the men's team after Zhuang Zedong. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, the "tactical master" showed his experience, control and strain to the extreme, defeating the world's number one Fan Zhendong 4:2 and winning the Olympic men's singles gold medal! Malone's grand slam and double slam are difficult to surpass. For the current 34-year-old Ma Long, he has no lack of any championship, any honor, but he refused to put down his racket and still defeated Wang Chuqin, Lin Yunru and Liang Jingkun in the Grand Slam Singapore stage to reach the men's singles final.
In the final, he led 3:2, and in the 6th set, in the case of a 6:1 lead, Malone forced Xiao Fat to the edge of the cliff, he did not take a fight, but over-controlled and shorted the stage, leaving Xiao Fat with the opportunity to fight. In the end, the Dragons gave Xiao Fat, the current "first brother" of national table tennis, psychological confidence in the way of losing. The "HexagonAl Warrior" can no longer win, especially the duel between the new and old kings, if Malone still cuts the young general under the horse, it is not good for the little fat to establish the status of a brother. Previously, due to Ma Long's long career, a group of post-90s players like Zhou Yu, Fang Bo, Yan An, etc., could not see hope and had withdrawn from the national team. If these post-00s players are still "strangled" in the big game, I am afraid that the voices that make Malone retire will continue to be heard.
For Paris after 2 years, Malone still hopes that there will be this possibility, wearing a national uniform and fighting for the country. However, 2 years later, our dragon team is 36 years old, he is already the existence of the Chinese version of "Waldner", take the initiative to retire, or let the young people play down, this answer is really left to time to answer it. A king who is still on top of the world, where do you support him, whether to go or stay? Thank you for reading and paying attention, I am a teenager at the Horse Riding Temple.
