Chinese Trials for World Championships 2017

[panphobia]

Shouldn't the next round be happening now? It seems like I must be wrong about that...I'm confused!

It is, check the official ittf channel on youtube.

Well, if you watched the trials, you can tell ZJK's fangirls from others not only because there are more of them. ML, XX, FZD also have quite a lot of fangirls who cheered for them after great rallies or when they were trailing, but usually the fans did not cheer or scream after EVERY rally like ZJK's fangirls did and leave some time for the fans of the opponents to cheer. LGL said the players need to be trained to play in such a disturbing environment. So not a really bad thing for the players but not quite friendly for the audience.

I bet in WTTC this year, you will appreciate the screaming power of ZJK's fangirls. Just be prepared

Ok, that really might be a bit much, but I'm totally looking forward to this and also to the facial expressions of the others too.

Looking at the videos it appears to me that there is actually a screen underneath the surface???

After seeing some matches I think I noticed the score on the table surface is only visible from the main camera angle, so maybe it is some post processing and the players can't see it. I can't imagine they have a screen built in the table top without it hurting the playing properties of the table.

ZJK suffers from mental problems. As I see, he's physically well, but after a tough loss he got destroyed. Vs XU Xin he played very well in the first set, lost 12-10 in the second and in the third he just stand at one place .I didn't see the ZJK Zhou Yu match, but the score speaks for itself. Xu Chenchao and Liu Dingshuo were good, they deserved the win.
If he wakes up and beats ML (and a few other at least) I think he will get a place in the WTTC team. Why? Because he is the favourite of Liu Guoliang. He deserves it? Based on his performance, not, but if consider his experience maybe. What I see is that he and ML are the only ones who play strategically and tactically. FZD and XX mostly play from routine. Fang Bo and Yan An are both stable internationally, but their ratio is just too bad. We have seen Zhou Yu lost to an european player (?Mengel Steffen?). Liang Jingkun can't stand pressure. I would choose Liu Dingshuo, but he doesn't have experience in big international men's tournaments. Lin Gaoyuan seems an excellent pick but we have to wait until the end of the tournament. I think Zhou Qihao is far away from the WTTC team and Xu Chenchao doesn't have enough experience (and I don't like him therefore I wouldn't put him in).
My WTTC team:
1. Ma Long
2. Fan Zhendong
3. Xu Xin
4 and 5.Zhang Jike/Liu Dingshuo

you're kidding ... he is famous for his strong mental and character . nothing can destroy it actually . I can remember some one had posted an artical about CNT's mental test which zjk was 1st in being strong

I think he is short of confidence due to not competing and using injury as an excuse to hide the fact that his level is low right now.

excuse !!!!!! everyone could feel the illness in his face . even if he pretend to have injury he cant hide it from the doctors i guess ....

Whatever the reason is for his no show so far, I really would love ZJK compete one final time in WTTC . I hope Liu selects him and he recovers his confidence and health

LSW - MZ is on, and whatta gruesome & ghastly bloodshed it is! I love it!

They both know what is at stake as will Ding Ning and LSW when they play. MZ especially knows she will not go unless she wins, so she is doing what she has to.

That was a godawesome match. I'm happy LSW won, but Mu Zi was fearsome. F-E-A-R-S-O-M-E. Massive respect. I hope she will still somehow get to the World's.

Looks like FZD can do it. Now 1:0 ML. If he start beating ML and everyone from this match he will get the first ticket in Phase One.

Have to be decided by the third. ML already leading 8:0 in the second.

1:1 and to the third decided. Whoever win this match will probably get the first ticket.

10:10 in the third!!!

11:11....12:12.....FZD done it!!! Too bad ML miss his chance leading 10:8 but FZD is simply awesome!

Now the first ticket is between ML, FZD and XX.

low level?the only match he didnt play well was against zhou yu.Internet forum psychology analysts, gotta love them

 

[Persistence TT]

GReat win by fan ding dong. He hold his ground firmly and looks like he does not get affected by ma long's variation in opening phase and short short pushes. Definitely a boost of confidence , ML was constantly outsmarting him till today

 

[SFF_lib]

It was a great game. ML lost due to FZD's aggressive style. Probably 70% of the time FZD flicked first. FZD'S BH is amazingly precise given how powerful it is.

ML plays spin, FZD plays close to table hitting. I guess speed won over spin this time.

ML's loop in the air at the end of the first game was hilarious.

Some bits of fan zhendong's translated interview after the match

"We are quite familiar with each other, LGL told us before the match that one of us will go to the basement. I dont want to go there any more, its dark, cold and the food is crap. I turned my despise for the basement into something positive and went all out, Im sorry for ML its tough for him to go to the basement. But hey, that's competition, I wish him luck and hope he does not suicide, he will be back eventually, he can always train with the women's team and reflect on his mistakes, in the basement you have tons of free time for self-talk"

ML plays like crap with this led table. Not like his intl level. Seems like the led table favors speed and power monster?
