During the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the Minions team has been a big killer, occupying the world's No. 1 position in men's doubles for a long time, and has been the number one rival of Chinese men's doubles for a long time. Unfortunately, the duo failed to make a breakthrough at the world's top events, including the World Championships and the Tokyo Olympics, where they missed the title. With the increase of age and injuries, and the outbreak of Indonesian men's doubles talent, the Minions began to decline, and their form declined significantly, and the world ranking has fallen to 17th.
