The national table tennis team has officially announced the list of participants in the World Table Tennis Championships in November, of which the women's team is participated in by Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, and Qian Tianyi will participate in the women's doubles. The candidates for the women's team are expected, after all, Liu Shiwen's current competitive state is indeed not enough to participate, but it is better to give up the opportunity to young people. However, the men's team's big list has caused many fans to be dissatisfied.
The five men's team participating in the World Table Tennis Championships this time are Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao. Among them, Fan Zhendong is the champion of the National Games, Liang Jingkun is the MVP of the Table Tennis Super, and the two can be said to be deserved for the quota, but the other three are more controversial!
Although Wang Chuqin is an Olympic P card player, his foreign status has always been unstable, and even in the National Games and the Table Tennis Super League this year, he has not played at the level he should have. In the final of the Table Tennis Super League, when facing Zhou Qihao, he was beaten 11-0, and once lost 19 points in a row. This also reflects from the side that Wang Chuqin has been so many years old, and his mentality is still a big problem. But there is no way, the new generation of the men's team, he is already outstanding, if he does not go, really no one can go.
In addition, Zhou Qihao, also a player in a very unstable state, he is somewhat similar to Chen Xingtong of the women's team, has the strength to defeat strong opponents, but he will always inexplicably lose to some young players. Zhou Qihao was able to go to Houston, probably because he played Wang Chuqin's game, which was indeed too impressive, so he was selected.
In fact, in the men's table tennis list, the most controversial is Lin Gaoyuan. As the core of the national table tennis Tokyo Olympic cycle, Lin Gaoyuan was abandoned because of his general career development, and the subsequent National Games performance was also extremely bad. The men's singles suffered the first round of travel, not even in the round of 16, even Fan Zhendong could not move him in the doubles field, and the mixed doubles match was ruthlessly "mocked" by the female partner, and finally only won the championship with the team in the team competition.
For Lin Gaoyuan, it is most appropriate to describe him as "hating iron is not steel". He became famous at a young age, 2 years older than Fan Zhendong, but he still has no decent championship title, and he is often criticized for his hair being too fancy. "Weakness" seems to be the label on him, especially if he is not domineering in the game. But Liu Guoliang and Qin Zhijian still value him, which is really incomprehensible. 3 years later, Lin Gaoyuan is 29 years old, does he really have cultivation value in the Paris Olympic cycle?
Lin Gaoyuan was selected, but Ma Long, Xu Xin and Liu Dingshuo, the runner-up of the National Games, were not selected, which is even more incomprehensible! Xu Xin can also say that like Liu Shiwen, he is not in the peak state, so what about Liu Dingshuo? Just won the national runner-up, the state is very good, no matter what, it is stronger than Lin Gaoyuan.
Ma Long's defeat, although the official statement of the national table tennis, is his own choice to quit, and Ma Long also said that there have been many competitions in these months, as a 33-year-old veteran, in order to better physical training and rehabilitation, so he took the initiative to propose with the coaching team not to go with the team to participate. However, Ma Long even played such a dense National Games and table tennis super without landing before, will he really give up the opportunity to impact the men's singles 4 consecutive championships of the World Table Tennis Championships because the schedule is too concentrated?
Obviously, Ma Long is more like being forced to quit, according to Qin Zhijian, the men's team will enter the replacement of the old and the new, but the choice of Lin Gaoyuan and not taking Liu Dingshuo is contradictory!
