As the coach of the Chinese women's table tennis team, Ma Lin has a new task in the new phase of the national table tennis training, that is, to officially take over the world's No. 2 Sun Yingsha and become the coach who is in charge of the two aces of the world no. 1 Chen Meng and the no. 2 Sun Yingsha at the same time. The two highest-ranking disciples in the world are a kind of glory and a responsibility, and how to lead the two main players of national table tennis to create more brilliant records has become a test in front of Ma Lin.
In the head coach of national table tennis, generally each coach will bring 3-5 team members, according to the status in the national table tennis, the coach will tilt and focus on the daily training of each team member, but the balance coached by Marlene may not be able to tilt to Chen Meng or Sun Yingsha any of the team members, both of them are on the road to impacting the Grand Slam, there will be no relaxation.
Chen Meng is currently at the top of the women's singles world rankings, but she is not invulnerable, although she has won the 2020 World Cup women's singles championship and the women's singles champion of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the only way to impact the Grand Slam is the World Championship women's singles champion has not yet arrived, but the process may be more difficult, it seems that it is only one step away from the top of the mountain, but there is a strong resistance from teammates.
Chen Meng has the world's top forehand and backhand technology, and her comprehensive ability at both ends of the attack and defense does not lose to any female team member, but she often feels slow and hot in the game, and the use of technology is not flexible and skilled, and she is often teased by the opponent's varied technology, so that she lost to Liu Shiwen, who is experienced and rich in lines, in the women's singles final of the 2019 World Championships.
If Marlene wants to help Chen Meng achieve a Grand Slam, she must break the embarrassment of losing streaks from two teammates. Chen Meng has lost 4 consecutive games against Wang Manyu this year, the National Games is even more by the opponent to keep a clean sheet and did not qualify for the final, another powerful player Chen Xingtong also recently played against Chen Meng, quite experienced, the two teammates have similar styles, are offensive firepower, attack as the defensive players, and the same goal sister Sun Yingsha in the World Cup and the Olympic Women's Singles Final was defeated by Chen Meng consecutively, not Chen Meng's main opponent.
In contrast, Sun Yingsha wants to win in the World Table Tennis Championships and recent international competitions, and her opponents also have two, that is, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu. Chen Meng maintained the record of unbeaten against Sun Yingsha in two years of competition, and Wang Manyu won the women's singles crown by defeating Sun Yingsha at the National Games. Compared with Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha's backhand was relatively weak, and if the power of the forehand attack could not be exerted, it would be severely limited.
As the head coach, I believe that Ma Lin will have a fair heart, will not be biased, after all, he is also from the athletes, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are members of the main lineup of national table tennis, what Ma Lin has to do is to make a good training plan, urge Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha to complete, to the field of consistency, meet teammates can only be in the pre-game some suggestions, can not sit in the command of the situation, everything depends on the athletes themselves.
Soon in November is the single World Table Tennis Championships, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha's qualifications will not be too much of a problem, but the hottest team member recently is Wang Manyu, who has been unbeaten in the season, she has become the number one favorite to win the world table tennis women's singles, Chen Meng wants to get a Grand Slam or Sun Yingsha wants to win the World Series women's singles championship, they have to face Wang Manyu this mountain.
