Yesterday, the Dragons went to see the first mixed doubles match between Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, which was also the first match of table tennis.
The dragon team sat between Liu Guoliang and Li Falcon, probably because of the time difference or because the opening ceremony was too tired, the dragon team looked very tired, with heavy bags under his eyes and a serious face, which actually gave him a sense of majesty and oppression. The Dragons sat in the coach's seat this time. It makes people feel that he has been in power. Look at Liu Zhiqiang, Qiu Yike and Xu Hui, I really think that the coach is a troublesome position, and the Dragons can have many choices after retiring, in the words of Wang Chuqin, he has paid too much for himself for Chinese table tennis, and the coach is not his best destination, and he is not worthy of his 30 years of upheaval and displacement.
Malone: Being a coach is just an alternative answer for him
Some time ago, the Dragons were asked in an interview: "There will be an end to his career, but love is worth the long years, will he be a coach?" "Maybe it's possible, it's a whole new test to be a coach," the Dragons said. It is also possible that the athlete continues for a long time. In fact, after so many years, it is possible to try other things first, but I don't think my love for table tennis will continue forever! ”
In interviews in recent years, many people have asked Malone if he will be a coach in the future, and he has repeatedly denied it, on the grounds that he will be too strict. Later, he would also reply that after retiring, he might become a coach, a college teacher, or a kick-off stadium. The Dragons have never been determined to choose to be a coach, he prefers to be a fighter, this is Ma Long's long-term requirements for himself, the "Dragons" for the national football constant faith, the five-star red flag rose on the podium, this is also Ma Long's happiest moment, Ma Long listened to the national anthem on the podium, looking resolute and focused, which is the highest respect that a national player gives to the motherland.
It is really aggrieved to be a coach in national table tennis with the results of the Dragon team. The coaches of the men's first team, Xu Hui, Liu Zhiqiang, and Qiu Yike, could only be regarded as the main players when they were active, and they did not enter the ranks of the absolute main force at all, and Ma Long's coach Cui Qinglei was Ma Long's former sparring partner. Zhou Yu, Fang Bo, and Yan An would rather start a live broadcast than be a coach, and Liu Shiwen became the chairman of the ITTF Sports Committee and made a cameo appearance to play a ball; Xu Xin was appointed vice chairman of the Asian Table Tennis Federation, and also opened a stadium to create his own brand; Ding Ning teaches at Peking University and also serves as the Olympic Committee, and our Dragons deserve a better way home.
Ma Long: Four Olympic Games, he is the purest player
In the bright summer of the 2016 Rio Olympics, the treasure player Ma Long lived up to expectations and won the men's singles championship, and the Ma Long player wearing a red shirt, touching hairspray and comparing hearts, achieved his first Grand Slam at the age of 27 and won the men's team championship at the Rio Olympics.
Before the final of the men's team in Rio, Malone listened to the song "You Raise Me Up" while taking a break in the Olympic Village. Listen, tears, tears. "It's not my last or last game, and I feel like that." The Tokyo cycle, the physical load brought about by aging, the injuries accumulated over the years, and even the unreasonable accusations made up by the Internet about the non-retirement of veterans and the difficulty of continuing the team all puzzled him: whether it was a better choice to turn around at the peak and leave a dashing back. The brilliant bloom of Rio has made Malone face a more difficult choice when the Tokyo cycle arrives.
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics will be postponed for a year, and many bad voices are questioning the 32-year-old veteran, but when I saw him on the field again, I was extremely excited, Tokyo really came, I watched all his games, 3:3 Ocharov when everyone was nervous about him, at that time I always thought that Malone could win, and sure enough, he won 11:9, this year Malone completed his double-lap Grand Slam, and the men's team is still the champion, I know that competitive sports are cruel and not easy, and the rain in Tokyo has trapped many people, but Malone has come down, and I would like to say that it is good that Tokyo has won......
I believe that the era of belonging to the GOAT is not over, so I, like many fans, have been shouting to Paris to see the 2024 Paris Olympics, Ma Long player he has come, this year he is 35 years old, continue to travel, this time not only the Chinese table tennis team athletes, he is also the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation, the pride of the country is well deserved. During the preparation period, he was always alone, there was no special physical coach, and there were still many bad voices questioning him, but he said that he would go all out regardless of the finish line, so I believed him.
The history of the Dragons' growth is a process of downward rooting. Maybe there are really geniuses who are born to compete. For example, Zhang Jike, who was at the same time as him, but as the most important hard indicator of national table tennis, every major champion has always needed to be shaped for ten years. At the age of 35, Malone still maintains a certain level of competitiveness, which means that he needs to practice every technique to perfection before he can break through. Ma Long's growth history is rooted in every change of the times, the style of play changes with the times, and the champion should be born with strength, and he continues to find breakthroughs in the change. The longer trek than others has not surprisingly created a stronger vitality for Ma Long. Climbing the peaks, falling through the troughs, and still moving forward, Ma Long has made the Chinese captain a new fable with the best record in history in any dimension.
As a Chinese athlete, you can't easily lose a game. This is what Malone has asked of himself for so many years. Malone has participated in three Olympic Games since London, with Paris being his fourth. The palmares of five gold medals allowed him to make new history. In order to let the red flag fly on the field, every time Ma Long puts on his armor and goes into battle, he has the belief that it is inevitable. This is not a verbal empty shout, but an expression of a soldier who loves the motherland deeply and expresses it to the national table tennis collective.
This time in Paris, who has always been restrained and low-key, he said that he would help the Chinese team win the team gold medal. Dragons, come on!
