Lets take it a little further , I think thats the reason Zhang Jike has un-retired , once Ma Lin becomes the coach , he and Ma Lin can bet as much as they want without fearing for retribution, I saw the recent ITTF post saying ZJK is planning to target Tokyo 2020 , big ZJK fan but I am no able to wrap my brain around how , may be for the Special Olympics ... :D

it might seem like ZJK wil unable to even compete with the other players, but he has a beast inside. If the beast is training, working and fighting hard for 2020 tokyo, I think he can still make it again ;) but in his current state, I doubt he can even be top 4 in the country.
