Ma Long, in many cases, is synonymous with "the first person in history", the Olympic hardware king, the double circle Grand Slam, the table tennis GOAT, and the Paris Olympics were elected as the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation, which is the first time that the national table tennis player has been selected as the flag bearer. Sometimes, I really don't know how much energy is hidden in this gentle-looking, warm-smiling man.
Recently, the Dragons also said in an interview what he was talking about with Fan Zhendong and the big head Wang Chuqin. He said: "It's just about talking about some psychological feelings. There may be personality reasons and playing style reasons, everyone has a different understanding of the ball, the two of them are playing singles, I don't have a competitive relationship with them, as for me, they are the best teammates. When I feel that there is a certain mental method that helps them, I will tell them. ”
Ma Long: He is the "ceiling" among men, and the 18-year-old sister-in-law identified this high-performance stock
The Dragons can really be regarded as the "ceiling" among men, to have good looks, to be talented, the key is that the character is good, and the iconic healing smile can melt people in a second. Sister-in-law Long really saved the galaxy in her last life, no, it should be said that Sister-in-law Long may have been the lifesaver of the Dragon Team in her last life, otherwise, how could she meet such a perfect Dragon Team in this life.
At that time, the Dragon team was 20 years old, and the Dragon sister-in-law Xia Lu was 18 years old. But the discerning sister-in-law Long decided at a glance that this was a "high-performance stock", holding it in her hands, from falling in love to being married for 15 years, this is a few up-limit versions, and it is really hard to earn. At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, Sister-in-law Long had to take her two sons to watch the live broadcast in front of the computer, such a handsome Dragon team walked in front of the boiling Chinese team, how proud Sister-in-law Long and her son were! It is said that in order to satisfy their son, the "Grand Slam" Dragons have been busy asking them for PIN in the past two days. became a father's dragon team, and it is still a cute "Anshan pony".
Malone: He's an amazing man who makes people fall in love with him unconsciously
It's hard for me to explain my adoration of the Dragons. Maybe it's because I'm too mediocre to have a special feeling for heroism, and Malone is just the superhero in my heart.
I only met him at the Tokyo Olympics, and the first time I saw him, I was struck by his smile. It's rare to see athletes with such a handsome son. Later, because I liked it, I went to learn about his past, which really started with his appearance and ended with talent. Even if his grades are higher than the dome, there are still many things about him that can make us ordinary people empathize, for example, he used to be unconfident and doubt himself; He also experienced a low point and suffered from ten years of ice drinking......
Before Ma Long became the "Dragon God", he was criticized for not being strong enough, and it was not until he won the Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships that he really had a strong heart, which is a typical "technology-driven psychology". In fact, nine years have passed, and Suzhou's leap is not a complete solution to the psychological problem, but to help him find a way to get rid of psychological sensitive factors that affect his performance on the field, and strengthen his confidence in himself. From Anshan Pony to Dragons to Dragon God, Ma Long's inner delicacy has not changed, he still has self-doubt because of a loss or other reasons, and his inner entanglement and twisting are the same as before. He is really still the Anshan pony, strict self-discipline, the pursuit of stronger and higher, when encountering problems, it is still difficult for him to reconcile with his heart, so this road of competitive sports, he is more difficult than anyone else! I have shed tears for Ma Long more than once, especially the three times I touched the table after playing with Wang Chuqin, I really cried so much.
Ma Long: In the past three years of the Paris cycle, he has been a lonely brave man
Loneliness is a very sad word. Before I was in Busan, I never thought that Ma Long felt lonely, so many people, so many people in the Chinese table tennis team, but he felt lonely. He seems to be saying goodbye to this arena with game after match, no one knows the end, no one knows the time. "See you in Paris", after Busan, many people began to reflect on whether they were too selfish, selfishly wanted to keep him in the arena, whether Paris saw him give him too much pressure, it was clear that he had persisted for so long, it was clear that he could have retired successfully, and he insisted just for love. "As long as you have love, you will always be the year of fighting", I don't know how many people this sentence has inspired, I only know that Ma Long has made unimaginable efforts for this sentence. It's not just this sentence that inspires, it's Malone himself.
In Los Angeles in August 2019, the afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the 5 steps at the entrance of the ward building in Los Angeles Cedar Hospital became Ma Long's new battlefield. This Asian face who wears a cap and insists on going up and down the steps every day is Ma Long, who used to dominate the table tennis court. Ma Long, who had just finished surgery on his wrist and knees, began a difficult road to recovery with a growing beard and stubble growing on his scalp. Compared with the freedom on the table, physical rehabilitation is obviously much more boring, the uncontrollable goals, the invisible pressure, comes from the slow recovery process, but also from time, he is racing against himself, and the extreme, but also against time. He is always pushing his limits, and that's why his gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics became so precious!
Such a strong, tenacious and resolute Dragon team deserves to be hailed as "the greatest table tennis player of all time". In him, in the pursuit of the sport of table tennis, he does not allow the slightest inertia. He is constantly demanding higher and stronger. For an outstanding athlete, in the process of achieving various achievements, the spirit of "Dragon" and "Horse" is indispensable, and down-to-earth and soaring clouds are the guarantees that he can continue to win victories. After all, for Grand Slam players who are online in terms of results and appearance, there are many temptations, and some things can even be said to be at your fingertips; On the other hand, training day after day is boring and tedious, and the injuries and newcomers that veterans have to face are even more brutal. And in the game, especially in the big competition, the king's spirit at the critical moment and the trust in oneself in the bones can often help the players stand out.
"Don't Ask the End" has been brushed too many times, but every time I will still be moved to tears by the process of him struggling from the trough to the top again, how can anyone be so sensitive and entangled and so strong at the same time? Because I myself am also a sensitive and tangled person, I know how torturous it is to repeatedly pull myself and self-confirm, but the Dragon Team relied on the perseverance that can be said to be "inhuman", and he tore the suspicious and sensitive self with his hands, and broke through himself again and again. The meaning of him to me is that every time I feel that I can't persevere, I think that he can persevere, and I want to be like him, like a warrior who will never admit defeat, and defeat myself. The Hexagon Warrior is the eternal spiritual leader!
Commenting on the final against Fan Zhendong at the Tokyo Olympics, Gan Tang summed it up: "This may be one of the most important matches of Ma Long's career, but it is also one of the easiest races for him, because the entire Olympic Games, spanning 14 days, are like an air-stopping schedule, and only in this game can he be exempted from the obligation to win." "
Malone learned to play at the age of 5 and entered the national team at the age of 15, and in many moments after picking up the racket, winning is a necessary obligation for him. It is an obligation not to lose to a foreigner until you reach the finals. Until then, it was an obligation to get a ticket to the Tokyo Olympics. There is such an obligation in the Olympic Games, as well as in the World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup, and the Open Championships. And today, it is also an obligation to help the Chinese team win the men's team gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
See you in the arena with the Dragons!
