Li Sun: It's Time to Shift Our Thinking of Ito

[zeio]

Starting this thread to get them all in one place since they sink quickly in the Swedish Open thread and who wants to dig through the entire thread.

I wonder if anyone in the CNT dares to call SP obsolete with Guoliang back in charge?

 

[Persistence TT]

everytime ding ning loses, opponent played "beyond expectation".

 

[ttmonster]

raises the question is she playing through pain ? She said "It hurts a lot" as per your translation .. and did he really say "Finish quickly . We need to put an all nighter for the report" ... LOL

I am just happy D-Queen did not pull out her injury drama like she did against LSW .. I guess it was just an open .. so she did not prepare her lines ..

Thanks zeio! I love these subbed interviews. You actually improved my whole mental approach to matches by doing these. What's your account for gofundme or whatever you use? I feel like I should celebrate my favorite player's win by sending you another $5.

With Mima Ito, CNT has another problem. They cant get anybody to clone MI's game easily so that CNT players can practice and adapt. The only person who might be able to mimic MI's game would be a certain Liu Guoliang

HE Zhuojia is also playing with short pimples

 

[yogi_bear]

They could use Wang Tao as an sp player but he is male with a different playstyle and is he part of the CNT?

 

[Loopadoop]

They will probably have to use 2 different players to clone her for practice, one 4h one bh each using her same rubber.

No, she's in tip-top shape. She was hopping and her left elbow caught the edge of the LED screen. No, Li Sun didn't say that. The 2 lines in brackets are puns exploiting the scenario, seeing the dialog was drown out by all the noise.

Awesome backhand and forehead!!!

Thanks for the translations! Great job!
I loved how Ito responded about the T league. It's absolutely right for a young player to think more about training and development of her game instead of some commercial leagues. It's the right way if she wants to become a future champion. Let the more accomplished(or just older) players entertain the crowd while she trains hard and then kicks ass at the Opens

Awesome backhand and forehead!!!

And forehead?

 

[yogi_bear]

Errr forehand!!! Sorry.

I believe Rui Zhang does as well and they also have Mu Zi. I don't know why people are underestimating the CNT. Ito has struck a hard blow and we need to see the CNT response before making strong long term predictions.

Even if they have to hunt lower I am pretty sure they will find a capable short pips player who smashes like Ito somewhere, even if it's a male provincial player.

If they can't find one, they'll make one.
