Wang Chuqin had any physical problems or just played badly?

Seems like he's having some problems with his knees.

Day 4 Highlights with LGL, LSW, ML, ZJK's comments on the players' performances and on the new ball :)


Let me try to summarize:

LGL: young players should push themselves to defeat these world champs so that they can earn themselves the chance to represent China at important international events.

LSW: BO3 requires you have a strong performance from the very beginning; the new ball contributes to more confrontations in the match and asks for more attacks to win

ML: less spin, more topspin rallies

ZJK: players need to focus on the court and try to pull themselves in form quicker to win the opening game as it's BO3 instead of BO5/BO7; I need to work more on my rhythm of playing to adjust to it.

When you look, this mostly has nothing to do with his knees..
Mostly needles are in the path of stomach and in the path of heart and small intestine.
So that is his problem in general, no matter how it manifests..

So many great wisdoms from LGL's speech. No wonder CNT is on top for so long.

Has this been translated?

I think I can give a very rough translation of LGL's speech until someone fix the video. :rolleyes:


"The performance of FZD and XX is normal. They did not show the purpose of competition. They did not set the standard high enough. They have not tried to win it all, or simply aim to loss one.

XX had tried something new but little had changed. His style is a bit outdated. Time to raise an alarm. What needed to do next, especially after the new ball with strong countering. How he can survive the next cycle.

Some players are pretty good. Such as Xu Chenhao, Liu Dingshuo. They showed the fighting spirit and the will to win which helps a lot in their higher than expected ranking. And Zhou Yu is good too.

As for the last two ranking players Wang Chuqin and Yu Ziyang, they not only loss the matches, but the spirit is just so negative. A player should be always alert no matter when he is playing, going for the towel or picking up the ball. You can blame WCQ for his age but it is the body of YZY that matters. Not tight, slack like a kid. Should practice with Team B in third floor, or even Women Team in 5th floor. Not strong enough in Men's competition.

Coach Team hold the decision to pick 2 players. One is for the purpose of unforeseen injury of top players. Second is observation and training of new players. If you can impress your coaches, we will give you a quota, another chance of trials and training. Only a small group can go to WTTC, but this is a chance you have to grab, to fight, then the next, and next till your success.

Let's talk about ZJK, from trials in 2010 to his win in the final of WTTTC. He grab the chance to beat WLQ. At that time, XX, ZJK and ML beat the big three WH, WLQ and Ma Lin in trials. Then they fight for the 2 tickets to WTTTC. You need to fight for your chance, not be given by me. The same goes to you all. ZJK grab the chance and won in 2010 WTTC, 2011 in WTTC, and finally London Olympics and became Grand Slam Champion. That is one step after another no less.

ML on the other hand was ahead of ZJK in 08 and 09, but he loss 0:2 to Timo in 2010 WTTTC. In that final ZJK won and ML loss. In 2011 WTTC ML loss to WH in semi. So there is no more chance for ML in 2012. No Single in London after losing that 2 matches. But from 2012 to 2016, ML did not loss to foreigners no matter big or small. That is he grab his chance one after another, then another till 2016 and became Grand Slam Champion. They traveled the same route. Any young player has this dream? confidence? persistent spirit? ambition? I see it only in FZD. LJK has some but still far behind.

You can't waste your chance. Wasted and you will be punished. Grab the chance then you can grab success. It is up to you. I see progress in LJK after CTTSL. I keep an eye on him. But suddenly all gone after losing to Liu DIngshou and Fang Bo. Proceed by rank 1 and rank 4 is not the same in the eye of coaches. We observe you and your future.

As for Shang Kun, we see your effort after so many years. You are not bad. Any one will be scared facing you. You are quite balance. But always loss the initiative in critical moment. Why? When everyone is fighting for their life, you play like a dumb who did not make a single noise. People will think you are here playing chess. No sound or expression no matter win or loss. You should give it to yourself, some encouragement, confidence. Try to release yourself.

Stage 3 will be held from 3rd to 10th of March in Shenzhen. We spend a lot of thinking to make it the highest standard. They named you "Strongest 12 on earth". I don't dare to boost but they did, after all no one can easily beat us. We want ZJK and ML to prepare well and be their best for Stage 3. Any match with you 2 are the highest level everyone want to see. The rest 10 players need to beat them and grab the two tickets to WTTC. Just like the way they grab their tickets back then. It is the only way to survive. You can't expect to wait for them to retire and take their place. See what Lin Dan is doing. ZJK won't retire unless you beat him. ML won't give you his place unless you beat him."
