Chinese Trials for World Championships 2017

[Garrison]

I wonder if Ma Long's "injury" is legit or if Liu just wanted to see Zhou Yu play more...

 

[Yecats Encerwal]

Confirmed at the results page, Ma Long has withdrawn!!

So the final-3 will be between: Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Yu!

In my opinion, this makes it much more interesting for tomorrow, as there isn't a clear winner.

3 Left handers too... Interesting!

He hardly moved in the match against Zhou Kai. Also used the backhand serve a lot.

 

[perniciousnc]

cheap ticket for ZY lolll. and cheap tickets for these guys, both ZJK ML are out. FZD has left. XX is the easiest the beat.

I'd prefer to see LGY LJK XCH to compete for the 5th spot.

 

[rainneverever]

In the press conference, ML admitted that he felt a bad back pain in the match against Zhou Kai and had to change to BH serve. He said he dropped 3-3.5 kilograms within the two weeks.
LGL said the purpose of BO3 instead of BO7 in this trials was to protect the players, especially senior ones, from injuries that were more and more common after changing to the plastic balls.

Well I saw an interview with Ma Long (but that was not an official one) with translation and he said something like:
"I am not injured at all! But, you have to understand me - I AM no.1 in the world! I am reigning world champion, I am OLYMPIC CHAMPION! Why the hell would I have to fight for my ticket for WTTC? LGL just pissed me off and now when I withdrew, lets see what is he going to do! I put my bets that he is going to give me ticket anyway!" ..
So thats about his withdrawal..

lol too funny

We already have the schedule for tomorrow:

Which means:

Chen Meng - Ding Ning: 19:00 (Shenzhen time), 12:00 (CET, GMT+1 time)
Lin Gaoyuan - Xu Xin: 19:25 (Shenzhen time), 12:25 (CET, GMT+1 time)

It seems, then, that the winner of that match plays the next match against the remaining player (Zhou Yu and Feng Ya Lan), probably just after the previous one finishes.

 

[drunix80]

My CNT pick for WTTC - FZD ML LGY ZY ZJK/LJK(depending on ZJKs injury)

 

[NextLevel]

My CNT pick for WTTC - FZD ML LGY ZY ZJK/LJK(depending on ZJKs injury)

I don't understand why people dislike XXL so much. He is still clearly the world #3 with an entertaining style.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

i like XX style. but I don't like him, he is too arrogant.

 

[alexgreen]

Fines and being kicked out of the team just for not waking up early is a totally different thing. Do they stand on "attention" in barcelona or any western sports team? No.

Coaches do have military ranks if you check it out. They are not soldiers wit hthe dictionary term yes. I dont understand why you insist on pointing out things I didnt even said, or meant. Cheers

p.s. FYI check this out

LGL gives orders in the begining. If this doesnt seem like a military command to you then you probably didnt serve or dont know about the military tone. Let the chinese users convince you.

also check @ 1:26. does this seem to you like a normal NBA/western style of team "encouragement" ???

I find a lot of what you think are rumors and conspiracies. Players not allowed girlfriends until they are 24 is a joke because Xu Xin is engaged to a table tennis player who he has been with for many years. There is nothing to suggest coaches have military ranks. As for the 'encouragement' that's just LGL characteristic for organising the team.

He is not. LGL critized XX's attitude. XX easily gets distracted and try new things during a game. That explains why he's called "the artist" in table tennis.

But at the same time he lost his last game against LGY because he lost focus and played new things while leading 9-6.

XX is more chilled than many other CNT players.

 

[TTLondon2012]

Ma Long vs Zhou Kai

 

[ttmonster]

I don't know , I have this idea in my head that he has appealed for dicey decisions one too many times , so I have this idea that is not a true sportsman ... again this is my personal impression of him , just like for Ma Long , I used to think that he is goody two shoes , and now he is an arrogant goody two shoes ... but again this is my perception ... so I will continue to be a fan of the the one and only bad boy .. ZJK

I don't understand why people dislike XXL so much. He is still clearly the world #3 with an entertaining style.

 

[rainneverever]

ML's coach Qin Zhijian told the journalist Li Wujun that ML got the back injury during the match against LGY.

I wonder if Ma Long's "injury" is legit or if Liu just wanted to see Zhou Yu play more...

The national team has some rules with relationships between young players and we suggest that they don't get involved in love affairs under 24 years of age or it's likely to affect their training," national team leader Huang Biao told Bandao Metropolis. "



So is this article also conspiracy theory? Jesus you and the other chinese fella are really stubborn arent you? It is all science fiction right?

I'm done here, not gonna bother talking anymore about obvious facts.

p.s. internet arguements can be really a waste of time. why the F am I still talking to you??
