The hero is twilight and moving! Malone lost in the semi-finals, with premonitions ahead of the game.
After the 8-in-4 match, Malone said in an interview: "I don't know if I'm old, I feel like I'm gasping for every ball, and I win very badly!"
This is what he said after winning Lin Gaoyuan, his face was tired, and he "served the old" for the first time, which was very different from what he had answered to the media before.
A year ago, the reporter asked Malone if he had thought about retiring, after all, he was older.
Malone rejected the word "age" and replied, "I didn't think about retiring, isn't Pol still playing?"
His use of Pol as an example meant that he also wanted to look up to Pol.
Now 41 years old, Pol is still holding on, but he is also injured and often loses, which will also be the norm.
It's just less obvious in Malone.
Leading the score, but losing to Wang Chuqin in the decider, Malone was obviously affected by his physical strength.
Seven rounds of war, for him, the physical energy test is extremely great, and Malone wants to win, the biggest chance is 4, 5, 6 sets of decisive victory or defeat, once dragged into the decider, the physical strength of the disadvantage will be exposed.
In the last few losses, Malone has lost in the decider, and the first few sets have been in the lead.
Of course, there are objective reasons.
The 34-year-old Malone competed this time. He also does both.
This was a greater physical test for him.
The next budapest championship, I hope that Malone will quickly adjust over, and the energetic Malone, even if he is "old", is still the strongest hexagonal warrior in the world.
Don't ask the finish line, go all out, Malone, come on!
