LGL speak the truth as usual.

So it is Ito and Harimoto they (CNT) are concerned with

 

[driversbeat]

The sad reality is after all the money JNT has spent they only have 2 players that pose a real threat to CNT. Really puts things into perspective. Not that JNT lacks depth in their team but anyone pales in comparison to CNT.

Also, he mentioned Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu. A glaring omission there?

Oopsie...

Actually, Kasumi Ishikawa, has played well, early in matches usually the1st 2-3 games vs the CNT, then fades, can't keep up the consistency enough to win the match. So maybe she has a match closeout problem.

 

[ping fun]

Kazumi is a great player but vs top chinese players all she need is good mantality and a positive mind . she's got every thing to beat chinese like skill , experience , good training .

 

[yogi_bear]

So it will take probably another 10 years to make the gap closer between cnt and jnt??

 

[darucla]

JNT probably needs to stop throwing kids to the lions. Ito, Hirano and even Harimoto are nearly the perfect age to fight the 2024 Olympics. But I do wonder what their mental state will be by then.
