Ma Lin's calculations are finally empty, and Wang Yidi may have no way out
In 2023, Ma Lin will officially become the head coach of the national table tennis women's team. However, Ma Lin's series of behaviors and performances after taking office have made her questionable, which is actually due to Ma Lin's own cleverness and calculation.
The first big calculation helped Chen Meng achieve the Grand Slam, but the impact failed.
After being promoted to the head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin should not have directly bypassed the head coach to manage the players. However, Chen Meng's daily training and preparation were directly responsible for Ma Lin over Zhong Jinyong. Ma Lin just wants to help Chen Meng realize her dream of a Grand Slam through her own efforts, so that Ma Lin herself can become a Grand Slam coach. However, in the face of absolute strength, calculations are useless.
Chen Meng still did not realize his dream of a Grand Slam in the end, and as Chen Meng grew older, it would be more difficult to win the next World Table Tennis Championships, and he would not even be able to participate. Ma Lin finally stopped clinging to Chen Meng when she knew that there was no hope. Finally, after the decision of the coaching staff, the women's team coach Zhong Jinyong and the men's team coach Sun Xun exchanged, which can be regarded as a normal treatment for Chen Meng and others.
The second big calculation, to help Wang Yidi impact Mengsha Yu Iron Triangle, there is no problem in the overall situation, but it does not meet the ideas of some people.
Wang Yidi was also one of Ma Lin's disciples in the past, and Ma Lin did receive key care after becoming the head coach. In the Goa Star Tournament, the top three main players withdrew, and Wang Yidi originally only had doubles, but later added singles. Including the usual training, Wang Yidi's current head coach Li Dacheng has basically not appeared, and Ma Lin is helping to prepare for training, just hoping that Wang Yidi can impact the Paris Olympics.
And all this, before the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, seems to be going smoothly, because the state of the remaining main players is up and down, and Wang Yidi can be regarded as having the qualification to compete. Although Wang Yidi also lost to Miyu Hirano, he succeeded with a perfect 4-0 revenge at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban. As a result, in the eight-in-four match, Wang Yidi directly lost to Hina Hayada, who had never lost before, wasting 9 match points and was eliminated. And Wang Manyu has recently recovered strongly, and Wang Yidi's position has fallen back, which is equivalent to directly playing Wang Yidi's road to Paris singles.
But Ma Lin did not give up, not only using the selection rules to arrange an Asian Games women's singles for Wang Yidi, but also dismantling Chen Xingtong's mixed doubles partner, and also arranged it for Wang Yidi. It is for Wang Yidi, who has never played mixed doubles before, to attack Paris through mixed doubles. Although this is obviously the arrangement made by Ma Lin in order to win Wang Yidi, it gives people the feeling of extreme cronyism. However, this is advantageous from the perspective of the big picture.
Because now Sun Yingsha is playing mixed doubles, but with Sun Yingsha's own ability, she should go to the insurance policy to play the championship, if you are distracted to play mixed doubles, you have to play three, for Sun Yingsha is naturally very stressful. For Wang Yidi, because there is no hope of impacting singles, she is now working very hard in mixed doubles. Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Yidi only ran in for more than two months to win the mixed doubles championship of the Asian Championships, as long as they continue to give opportunities to hone, they may not be able to free Sun Yingsha from mixed doubles.
From this point of view, Ma Lin pushed Wang Yidi to play mixed doubles, and once it really came out, it could avoid someone playing triathlon at the Olympics. However, this does not fit the minds of some people. Before the Asian Championships, many fans thought that it was extremely difficult to win the championship or even lose the championship, and these people wanted to prove the indispensability of the Shatou combination through the Asian Championships.
As a result, Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Yidi went all out to win the championship and hit the group in the face. I thought that Ma Lin's calculation was a preliminary success, but then, she did not register for the Lanzhou Star Tournament. If you don't participate, you don't have points. No matter how hard Wang Yidi tried to practice mixed doubles, it was in vain.
Marlene has been saddled with infamy and calculation for so long, although it is more out of her own considerations, but it is not completely unthinking about the overall situation. But what's the point? Now it seems that whether from the overall situation or not, Ma Lin's calculation has failed after all.
