On December 25, Beijing time, the last major of the national table tennis in 2023 ended, and in the finals of the Table Tennis Super League, Ma Long led the Shandong Luneng team to win the championship, and with his championship, the biggest loser was only Wang Chuqin, and he was the only one of the five superstars of the men's team.
In this table tennis Super League, all the 5 giants of the men's team entered the top 4 and had a duel, and if you take a closer look, you will find that Wang Chuqin really lost. In the finals, Ma Long shone and won a 3-0 victory, and laid a solid foundation for the team's victory, while Wang Chuqin's only performance in the final was only to lose 3 points, and the other did not play, becoming the most disappointed one.
Because Wang Chuqin did not play a single of the team in this game, he could not fight with Ma Long unless the game was in the fifth game, but the very bad thing is that you as the core boss, as the second in the world, you are not on it, can your teammates bear it? It must be unbearable, the first 4 games of the game are over, Shandong Luneng directly won the championship 3-1, Wang Chuqin did not even wait for the opportunity to play.
Their lineup is Wang Chuqin playing a men's doubles and a finale singles, but in fact, the most reasonable lineup should be Wang Chuqin as a singles and two men's singles, I don't know why there is no such arrangement. This directly led to Wang Chuqin's fiasco in the final, so he played one, and Liang Jingkun lost 0-3 to Xu Yingbin and Yuan Licen, came up to give away a point first, and then went down to rest, watching his teammates lose the whole process.
Previously, Wang Chuqin had been playing doubles with some of the world's best players, including Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha, both of whom were world No. 1s. He won the World Table Tennis Championships with Fan Zhendong, and Sun Yingsha also dominated the mixed doubles competition, but the problem is that now you are replaced by Liang Jingkun, not the kind of top partner, you have to play your strength, and the impact of the direct 0-3 defeat on the team is too serious. The singles that he was best at in the final didn't get a chance to play, and the only impressive performance was the scene of Wang Chuqin looking up to the sky and sighing when he was defeated, which is indeed a bit sorry for the importance that the national table tennis coaching staff valued him.
Liang Jingkun did lose the championship, but after Liang Jingkun's family defeated Xu Yingbin 3-1, he finally won the MVP of the table tennis Super League, Shandong Weiqiao lost, but Liang Jingkun did not lose.
Ma Long led the team to win the championship, won the 148th heavyweight championship of his career, and achieved the most incredible great achievement, completing the seventh consecutive championship of the Table Tennis Super League, and he is naturally the winner.
But the problem is that Xiaopang didn't play at all in the game where the Shanghai team was eliminated, and he could only recuperate because of physical reasons. So this will not affect Fan Zhendong's rating in the hearts of the coaching staff, the last Lin Gaoyuan was originally a marginal person in national table tennis, and in the previous semifinals, his doubles also won, originally he was best at doubles, and singles were not so competitive, so this had no impact on Lin Gaoyuan. In the end, Lin Gaoyuan and Fan Zhendong were not affected, Ma Long won the championship directly, Liang Jingkun won the MVP, but Wang Chuqin had nothing.
And in the finals, as the world's highest-ranked player in the team, the future prince of national table tennis, is pinned on high hopes, you can't play singles in the finals of the Table Tennis Super League now, so how can the Olympics rest assured that you can play singles? Liu Guoliang is afraid that he will retract his life, and Wang Hao will also reconsider.
