This is not true story, just my observation. I wonderif you agree with me.
LJK is quite young player and among his teammates athis age he has quite big competition. Until 2016 he was performing just ok. Hehad few chances in international stage but he lost to non Chinese players whichcannot be accepted in China. In China Super League he was just second handplayer like Yan An, Zhou Yu or Fang Bo. He is playing in Bazhou where he is thebest player, but competition is not high, so he is considered as no 1 playerthere.
There was no special expectation for him playing in ChinaLeague just to win with poorer opponents, try to win with second hand playersmentioned above and maybe try to fight with best players like ML, XX and FZD.So situation for him was very comfortable. Probably he worked hard and that iswhy his scores started going up and low pressure helped him a lot. So he madebig surprises defeating all best players in China. Then when he was playing insemifinal league there was also no pressure to beat Ma Long, he was again quitecomfortable. Of course he has beaten him before but ML is the best player inthe world so nobody will complain if he loose. But there was somethingdifferent in the final, after beating ML again there was little pressure comingup. People started thinking that maybe it was not surprise during the leaguebut he is really better. The crucial moment was in the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] set withFZD while ZJK was leading 9:5, he lost his concentration and lost this set.
Later on they put him international stage to Hungary,he went through group stage but then he met Yan An who defeated LJK in allcases last time. There was tough fight but finally LJK failed. But this can beaccepted.
Next thing is LGL speech about fighting spirit and acompetition, maybe few players were motivated but I am not sure if LJK was oneof them, he again had big wins, but also easy loses.
So now they tried him out in the best internationaltournament, where all best players take part. In the first round he was notlucky again, he met Kenta Matsudaira who beat him few years ago in polish open(LJK was leading 3:1), and also Kenta playing quite good lately. There wastough fight but finally he won the match, although the performance of LJK wasnot great, he had big problems with receiving long serves. Playing with Karlssonwas easier since the opponent is not that high ranked. But then he met Fang Bowho already beat XX. LJK won with him in CSL, but this time it was disaster. Somany high balls into his FH were wasted. He totally lost his mind.
without taking into account next stage of china top 12I do not think LGL can trust him this year in World Team Championships.
