On Apr 2, CNT had some crucial points drills. Matches started from 8:8, open to public. Again, test yourself how many players/coaches you can recognize.
BTW, I am curious why ZJK did not have to attend training and matches again :p

On april 3rd , Zhang jike, Fang bo , Yu ziyang and other guoping players went to Xiamen's elementary school and had a meeting with students and teachers . Zhang jike made a speech for students and encouraged them to work hard and share the hard-working spirit of " tibetan mastiff " . He said : the beauty of life is to fight bravely , I always remind myself this sentences to work hard and to help my self .

CNT men's team finished closed training in Xiamen on Apr 13. Core players will go to Huangshi for warm up matches on Apr 15 and 16.
Apr 12 was Open Day. Media and locals went to see their training. Liu Guozheng, who seemed to be in charge of the coach team now, told the media that the closed training this year is shorter than usual (26 days minus German Open, Asian Cup) but the result was good. Other than ML, FZD and XX, LGY and WCQ will have chance to play at WTTTC and the coach team will help them relax.

Just FYI, ZJK only did workout in gym. He will not attend warm up matches in Huangshi.

LJK is in overdrive. He lost to FZD in a thin margin. His short game and BH are just so so stable. Hardly made any mistakes.

His style is so similar to LGY in a way that they rely on BH heavily during rally. They want safety. FZD would still try to attack with FH loop from his BH side at times.

LJK and LGY don't seem to have the gut and footwork to take that risk. This may be just one of the few things that separate LJK and LGY from FZD. They play very safe a bit like female TT.

Stiga facebook said CNT will stay in Eskilstuna before going to Halmstad.

With the weight that LJK has lost, that has the potential to change. It was too "obvious" to me that his original game was compensating for his weight. Now you can see that he is not always holding the table as aggressively to take balls EXTREMELY early - he is still taking them early, but at a more reasonable distance.

BTW, he took FZD 5, beat LGY and XX. Solid stuff.

Yes no doubt he can be the top two with FZD in the near future.

His game is a bit less exciting to watch as compared to FZD, just my view.
