On March 31, Beijing time, Liang Jingkun defeated Hugo 4:1 and won the men's singles championship of the Incheon Championship for the Chinese team, which was also his first personal championship in the championship, and avenged his teammate Fan Zhendong.
However, although Liang Jingkun won the championship in this game, many people think that he may become the third person in the Olympics to squeeze out Ma Long, but in fact, the most dangerous thing is not the Dragon team, but Fan Zhendong who watched his game in the audience.
First of all, Wang Chuqin must have locked in a singles qualification for the top event like the Olympic Games, he is in good shape, and he has just won the championship in Singapore, and now he is also the new world No. 1, so the other singles candidate, whether it is Fan Zhendong or Liang Jingkun, must be a young man. It is impossible for Liu Guoliang and the national table tennis to allow three young people to go to the Olympics, how can there be a veteran to press the formation, otherwise if they are nervous and panicked, this will be the end.
Therefore, in fact, Ma Long's position is relatively stable, because the Dragons are here, at least there is a veteran who will reduce the pressure on his teammates in the team competition, and he can stand up in case of adversity, this role can not be replaced by anyone, plus the Dragon team is now 35 years old, he actually does not have so many ideas of competing for fame and fortune, and has never thought of going to the Olympic singles, just to win glory for the Chinese team, so he will not be threatened. In addition, he lost the civil war in this competition and lost in the hands of Liang Jingkun, but he defeated Lin Yunru, a strong opponent of national table tennis, and completed the task in the team, and losing the civil war did not affect his evaluation in the heart of the coaching staff, so he had no problem.
Fan Zhendong is completely dangerous, he used to think that Xiaopang and Datou were two candidates for singles, and the team was added to Ma Long, but Liang Jingkun is in such a good state now, the Singapore Grand Slam is in the final, and now the championship has won the championship directly, and the results have exploded Fan Zhendong. The two competitions may not explain anything, but the national table tennis also mentioned, the four major competitions before the Olympic Games will be used as assessment standards, especially the table tennis World Cup, if Liang Jingkun's performance is good, and Fan Zhendong does not win a championship, then the pressure is not great? What if Liang Jingkun's results are stronger than Fan Zhendong in these four competitions?
Not only is Liang Jingkun in good shape now, but the most important thing is that Fan Zhendong's performance is too poor, there has just been a controversy about the concert, and his visit to the concert before the Singapore Grand Slam has caused a lot of discussion, and he finally made a second-round tour. Without Wang Chuqin in this Incheon Championship, the coaching staff pointed to you to win a championship to say goodbye to the 8-month championship drought, but the championship was not won.
In the case of one thing and the other's strengths, if the coaching staff really chooses Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun to play singles, and Ma Long to play in the team, then how can it be impossible? Everything makes way for the gold medal, and the coaching staff must also choose the two people who are in the best state now. The quota for the Olympic Games has never been selected according to the world ranking, otherwise in 2016, Liu Shiwen would not have been unable to go to the Olympics, Liang Jingkun has now undergone a qualitative change, and if he wins one or two more championships, Fan Zhendong may really have to give way.
