In the world of national table tennis, recently He Xiaolong has put forward some eye-catching viewpoints, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Liu Guoliang's plan for the Paris Olympic cycle focused on Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, the "Sha Tou" duo, aiming to make them Olympic triple gold winners and a box office guarantee for WTT. It's like meticulously crafting a superstar pair, hoping they will shine like stars illuminating the entire court.
However, regarding the abilities and achievements of the "Sha Tou" duo, He Xiaolong has put forth a different perspective. He compared the "Sha Tou" duo with legendary players in table tennis history like Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining, saying they are not yet qualified. He also compared their achievements in winning team and mixed doubles titles at the Olympics with Ni Xia Lian, as if comparing a sapling growing in fertile soil with a small grass tenaciously growing in a corner. The "Sha Tou" duo has undoubtedly achieved good results, but compared with their predecessors, there seems to be a gap in terms of depth and comprehensiveness, just like a small lotus bud that has yet to match the vastness of great achievements. Sun Yingsha's loss in the women's singles final at the Paris Olympics has also received much attention. He Xiaolong believes that part of the reason is over-marketing leading to excessive self-confidence. It's like a person being praised too high, forgetting the path beneath their feet, and ultimately stumbling at a critical moment.
As for Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu, they have also been caught up in this storm of controversy. The claim that Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu were suppressed sounds somewhat harsh. Especially Wang Manyu, whose coach was transferred, which is seen by some as a signal of being discarded. Is this really the means taken to promote the "Sha Tou" duo as He Xiaolong suggested? It's like a mist hidden in the darkness, making it hard to fathom. Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng have already left the national table tennis team, like two brave warriors laying down their armor and returning to civilian life. In the next new Olympic cycle, the "Sha Tou" duo may still be the key focus of cultivation for Liu Guoliang and the national table tennis team. It's like the baton has been passed, hoping they can complete the race. But at the same time, a question naturally arises: who will be the next person to be suppressed in this new cycle? It's like a suspense in an unfinished symphony.
"Not knowing the true face of Mount Lu, only because one is within it." There are various opinions about these viewpoints and phenomena. Although many people pay attention to He Xiaolong's remarks, there are also controversies and shadows of conspiracy theories. For example, equating the transfer of a coach directly with suppressing a player seems somewhat far-fetched; and simple achievement analogies are unreasonable, like using different tools to measure the same thing. The development of national table tennis is a complex ecosystem, where each player has their own growth trajectory and environment. We should take a more objective and rational attitude towards these phenomena instead of blindly following opinions. We look forward to the continuous development of national table tennis in the future, where every player can truly showcase their abilities on this grand stage, whether it's the experience passed down from predecessors or the efforts of successors, all will be part of this great sport.
