#陈俊菘回应战胜张本智和##陈俊菘说张本智和之前比较嚣张#

咪咕赛后独家内容，陈俊菘：张本智和之前赢完头哥后比较嚣张，这场之后能帮中国队提点士气，不论遇到多少困难，就想赢他就想拼他。 自己想好技战术，把自己的东西发挥出来，第五局抓到张本的心理了，赢下了比赛非常开心，感谢队伍给我这个机会，感谢粉丝们为我加油。

And just to be fair, context does matter. In the same way that Harimoto got lucky to face an error prone WCQ, Chen Junsong also was a bit lucky. Harimoto made a lot of errors against Chen's pips...

Next time Harimoto will be better prepared I assume

 

[ThePongCommenter]

I don't behave condescending to other board members.

Ah yes, here come all the excellent TTD experts. I love the self-delusion.

Coach: "Did you consult the experts on TTD before your match?"

Harimoto got cocky along with TTD experts.

You on the other hand act superior, constantly demean others

LOL.

(as if they don't have the right to an opinion)

When you know nothing about professional play or development, yeah you kinda don't lol.

At least you're consistent, I'll give you credit for that. Chen gets no credit for utilizing his pips well to disrupt Harimoto though right, it was only his forehand that won the match?

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

I don't claim to be an expert or behave condescending to other board members. Just like TTLove or fore.n.black, I simply observe the matches and give my observations. I could be right, I could be wrong. Everybody else is free to their own opinion. I'm just a guy who enjoys the game and started playing a few years ago with no coaching or real training.

You on the other hand act superior, constantly demean others, call out other people's ratings (as if they don't have the right to an opinion). And yet, you always come out wrong. Harimoto keeps losing, people keep observing (correctly imo) that his forehand and general style are weak.

if only you could watch your own match videos and observe those videos and give your observation, you might just figure out how to return all those service you struggle with, and also figure out how to train and cope with all these different shots that you struggle with.

But you can't do that, can you? You want to self learn (and learning so many bad habits) and think no coach is good enough for you.
But you have a long list for Harimoto? don't you find that funny?

Giving statements of H3 is slow.... very funny joke.
But I am actually sad for you, you probably haven't felt H3 in different gears. One of the most powerful rubbers around. And that kick.... that is why I love it.

I really don't understand Harimoto's forehand technique.

Despite making a wide movement and using well with his legs, he doesn't generate enough power.

His top spin is surprisingly weak in prolonged rallies.

In fact, he probably has the weakest forehand on the Japanese team.

Togami, on the other hand, is the opposite.

Wang Chuqin has a big swing similar to Harimoto's, but the quality of his shots is much higher.

solution is sending him to the Koreans and work on footworks.
as much as the ttd expert has been moaning about his forehand, he loss the match with his backhand at the end of the day (especially how many points in a row in the decider)

He needs improvements on the footworks, and that would solve the forehand issue by a great deal.

Besides being 9-5 up in the decider, game 2 really stood out for me being a missed opportunity for Harimoto. Having two game points to go 2-0 up instead of being tied 1-1 would’ve made it much more tough for CJS to win. Nonetheless very happy that the young Male lefty Ito is through!

So Yuan Licen is a CNT member when he plays in China at least....

And watch him lose to Karlsson 3-0 😂

He needs improvements on the footworks, and that would solve the forehand issue by a great deal.

I wonder sometime whether it is about having the footwork vs accepting the mecessisity to expand and incorporate a forehand style. You rarely see him pivot on serve return, you rarely see him short push and kill on 4th ball. It might be the footwork but it might be the style.

I really don't understand Harimoto's forehand technique.

tonyis suggesting, maybe Japan should hire Lee Jungwoo or get a forehand oriented penholder to drill Harimoto to death during a break from the sport. That's one of the challenges of the current WTT calender though, in the old ITTF system, you could disappear for months and them reactivate your ranking without real penalties. Inactivity can be very costly if you are not winning the very top events and can be even then.

I wonder sometime whether it is about having the footwork vs accepting the mecessisity to expand and incorporate a forehand style. You rarely see him pivot on serve return, you rarely see him short push and kill on 4th ball. It might be the footwork but it might be the style.

Look at his position on the forehand area, mostly is unfavorable position.
Im not saying he should become all fh like you are mentioning, but he does struggle with the lefties inside out past his fh and that is a clear movement issue.

tonyis suggesting, maybe Japan should hire Lee Jungwoo or get a forehand oriented penholder to drill Harimoto to death during a break from the sport.

You don’t need to be drilled to death to have movement…
But the same time with all the pressure build up, sports psychologist should be recommended for all the players

That's one of the challenges of the current WTT calender though, in the old ITTF system, you could disappear for months and them reactivate your ranking without real penalties. Inactivity can be very costly if you are not winning the very top events and can be even then.

this system, no matter what, is bound for player failure because there is no resting periods and eventually the player will go through period of slump due to fatigue or injury.

The 12 month expiry has the players locked in for good or fall in world ranking
