In 2023, I have been touched by the feelings between Ma Long and Fan Zhendong many times, the two men who laugh the best, the only pair of "cross-era twin stars" in the history of national table tennis! Entanglement, becoming more pure and clear, is no longer an inseparable competitor, but just a simple two generations of national table tennis flag bearers, is the younger brother's respect and dependence on the eldest brother, as well as the eldest brother's concern and affirmation of the younger brother Hangzhou Asian Games to participate in the "Champion Arrived", the moment the two people shook hands, as if it was the intersection of two eras, Fan Zhendong in the official profile of the Asian Games, Hero column he filled in "Ma Long" Ma Long believes that Fan Zhendong is China's Djokovic, and Ma Long, who is called China's Messi by Xu Xin! They are the most respected opponents in this era........
Marlon, his smile is getting warmer and warmer!
The 35-year-old Ma Long has more and more of a feeling of loving the world in the team, he is the best captain in China, and he loves everyone in the team!
For the echelon construction of national table tennis, the left-handed good seedling Yuan Licen was brought from the second echelon to the sub-main team, and the Dragon team returned from the "double slam", but put down his body and chose to participate in the men's doubles with Yuan Licen, and a group of young players and started from the qualifying round; In the WTT Lanzhou Tournament in October, the Dragons reached the finals and competed with Wang Chuqin for the championship and runner-up! Obviously he knew that he might lose, but he still kept forcing Wang Chuqin to play a forehand, until he began to fight back, bringing the Dragons to Wang Chuqin's rhythm and tactics! The Dragons didn't want a win or a defeat, he had a feeling that a master was teaching his apprentice to change his weaknesses and forcing him to face up to his shortcomings! The Dragons had been helping the big head correct the problem of his forehand shortcomings, that is, he didn't stop scoring with his forehand halfway, and he really felt a sense of inheritance! And Ma Long's biggest task now is to do a good job in the inheritance of the spirit of national table tennis!
If there is anyone in this world who is really close to God, then it must be someone like Ma Long, who continues to fight against his weaknesses with courage and self-discipline that is almost beyond the reach of human beings, and all the difficulties encountered make him polish himself closer to perfection. If I am as mere as I am, I would be happy to see that there is really such courage and perseverance in the world that is so close to God. Constantly carving oneself to break one's own weaknesses and fate, the most precious trait of human beings is nothing more than this!
Although many people are now questioning why Malone has not retired, Malone has turned a deaf ear and insisted on his love wholeheartedly! It doesn't matter about the flashing lights and the noisy crowd, it is not disturbed, and it is normal to do its own thing. At the top of the end of the mountain, this heart is clear, and I wish to be disturbed by no external objects, so I will move forward. When Fan Zhendong won the game, Ma Long's eyes were no longer lonely in failure, but a little more bland. At this time, Ma Long is like a person who has climbed the highest peak, on the way down, he will not extinguish the enthusiasm in his heart, and still try to climb the next peak again, although there are setbacks, he still smiles at the spring and autumn. I think that's the real hero.
Fan Zhendong, he has gradually become a master!
Fan Zhendong, the "young son of heaven," has been born for so many years, and the 26-year-old "veteran of the flower season" Fan Zhendong has also become the absolute main force in the team! When he really carried the banner of the Chinese table tennis team, he also became more and more rational and sober, and he knew that no championship was "guaranteed" and every championship was "fought for"; his heart became more and more determined, he dared to play at critical moments, and always kept sober and forged his powerful arsenal to calculate the score carefully. Calculate the score carefully, have a super mentality to come out of the last game of defeat, all this, he also paid tuition in the early years to the new cycle to give others problems!
In fact, I never think that Ma Long's existence hinders Fan Zhendong's progress, but I think that even if Ma Long retires in the future, Fan Zhendong's career needs such a teammate who can rest assured that he can hand over his back. Anyone who watched the two brutal semi-finals of the Tokyo Olympics should know how suffocating the big tournament is. Defending the zone is like fighting, they are teammates first and foremost, fighting the world together, and secondly, they are rivals who inspire each other to compete. A team with only one master, no matter what era it is, is tragic for that master. Fan Zhendong is too hardworking, too smart, too stable, so good that he can't bear to be criticized. He's a real young man, and he's a real strong. There is no danger in time, he doesn't need to be Ma Long, he just needs to grow into a perfect self.
Having this pair of "twin stars" Ma Long and Fan Zhendong across the era is really the luck of national table tennis! Both of them regard each other as a principle, I must beat you, and in the opponent's hands, you are a respectable old enemy. He's not going to climb over your mountain, he's going to take the flag in your hand and let the red star continue to rise at the highest point in the arena. No one can really understand the pressure of you as number one, only he can say it, I do.
The GOAT, who has passed his prime, and the fledgling new king, are the most amiable and trustworthy teammates when guarding their respective halfs. Facing each other is the most respectable opponent. "I hope he retires a few years later and waits for me", "The way to respect him is to beat him".
