Who would have thought that a small white ball could cause so much trouble? After Fan Zhendong's withdrawal, it may be because the 27-year-old Fan Zhendong will have no balls to play. Liu Guoliang, on the national table tennis side, is under tremendous pressure. Many sports media people, such as He Xiaolong and Du Liyan, have come forward to speak up for Fan Zhendong. As the incident escalated, these famous reporters were no longer simply speaking out for Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, but also exposed a lot of hot news. For example, famous reporter He Xiaolong previously exposed the six questions raised by the media to President Wang, which included the matter of Kong Linghui and Zhang Jike playing cards that fans are concerned about. Recently, famous reporter He Xiaolong updated his social media again, exposing another potential big fish in table tennis. How did He Xiaolong say it? On social media, famous reporter He Xiaolong said, "Hello everyone, I am Lei Zi. I wanted to run away recently, but someone wouldn't let me. They persuaded me not to. Now I regret it, I still want to run away. Can I run away now?" The Lei Zi exposed by He Xiaolong quickly aroused the curiosity of many fans. Who is Lei Zi? In fact, famous reporter He Xiaolong had previously talked about this person on social media. It is reported that this person was once a senior executive of a domestic platform in charge of sports and later served as the chairman of WTT China Company. In the previous…

Recently, keen fans discovered that Zhang Jike, the former national table tennis Grand Slam champion, no longer has any existing enterprises under his name, and his only studio has changed from being in operation to being cancelled! The news of all the companies under Zhang Jike's name being cancelled has sparked intense discussions among domestic fans. Once upon a time, Zhang Jike had various advertising endorsements and commercial collaborations pouring in. Nowadays, Zhang Jike's commercial empire is no longer what it used to be, and his only studio has also been officially cancelled. It is understood that Ningbo Haishu Giant Star Yang Cultural Creative Studio was established in April 2024, which is less than a year from now. It is worth noting that before this, Beijing Feiao World Trade Co., Ltd., in which Zhang Jike held a 35% stake, was also cancelled in July 2024. However, although all the companies and studios under Zhang Jike's name have been cancelled, it has not had much impact on him personally! Nowadays, Zhang Jike has officially returned and transformed into a coach, with income mainly coming from live streaming sales and offline teaching. It is understood that Zhang Jike sells table tennis courses on short video social platforms, which directly exploded in sales, earning 1.7 million yuan in less than half a month. Although this income is far less than what Zhang Jike earned at the peak of his career, compared to ordinary people, it is already an exaggerated existence. Although Zhang Jike has achieved success in live streaming sales, he has also…

Recently, a few seemingly casual remarks made by Zhang Jike during a live broadcast have caused a stir in the table tennis community. He mentioned that from the era of Wang Liqin to his own generation, and then to Fan Zhendong becoming the main player, Hao Shuai was always the sparring partner. However, later on, even Fan Zhendong couldn't defeat Hao Shuai anymore, so he stopped being the sparring partner. Behind these words, how many untold stories are hidden? The Changing Winds of the National Table Tennis Team In the quiet training hall at night, the sound of racket swings is crisp and loud. Under the lights, a figure repeats the same action over and over again. This is Hao Shuai, the most mysterious sparring partner of the national table tennis team. The players he has sparred with range from Wang Liqin to Zhang Jike, and then to Fan Zhendong, spanning three generations. The Bittersweet Glory of Being a Sparring Partner On the training ground, the main players shine brightly, while the sparring partners are like stars, silently shining but equally brilliant. Hao Shuai is such a bright star. Starting from the era of Wang Liqin, he stood by the court, ready to step in for sparring at any time. Back then, he was young and energetic, with exquisite skills, yet willing to be a stepping stone for others. The stories on the training ground are always touching. Sometimes Hao Shuai would continuously spar for hours without complaint, even when sweat soaked through his shirt. More surprisingly, he could adapt…

Recently, Zhang Jike, a legendary figure in the table tennis world, made a bold statement during a live broadcast that exposed the internal personnel issues of the Chinese national table tennis team to the public eye. This revelation quickly sparked intense discussions online, with the controversy not only concerning the internal management of the national team but also touching the hearts of countless fans. In the live stream, Zhang Jike appeared serious and spoke sharply, unreservedly pointing out the problems within the main lineup of the national table tennis team. Although he did not explicitly mention any specific player's name, his remark, "Some main players lack strength but are blindly confident," was like a heavy bomb that instantly exploded on the internet. Netizens quickly started a "deduction mode," trying to find the players who fit this description from among the main players of the national team, with various speculations and discussions rapidly spreading across major social media platforms. Even more shocking was his in-depth analysis of Hao Shuai, known as the "strongest sparring partner," who had been serving as a sparring partner for a long time. Zhang Jike reminisced with a tone of emotion and dissatisfaction: "From the glorious era of Wang Liqin, Hao Shuai has been silently working in the sparring partner position; when I became the main player, he was still a sparring partner; and even when Fan Zhendong took up the mantle, Hao Shuai remained a sparring partner. But later on, some main players could hardly defeat Hao Shuai in matches, yet they still let Hao Shuai…

In recent public discourse, former Olympic champion Zhang Jike has undoubtedly been a prominent yet controversial figure. His various remarks during live broadcasts have stirred up waves like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, with the focus this time being on the departure of national team sparring partner Hao Shuai. Zhang Jike, who once wrote a glorious chapter in the world of Chinese table tennis, has achieved remarkable success. Looking back, his thrilling match against Wang Hao at the London Olympics ended with Zhang Jike defeating his opponent and securing the men's singles gold medal. At the Rio Olympics, he narrowly lost to Ma Long, missing out on defending his title, but his strength and fighting spirit still left a deep impression on people. However, his career was not without its challenges. After the Rio Olympics, Zhang Jike gradually withdrew from the court, and it was thought that he would lead a low-key and stable life. However, in early 2023, he found himself at the center of a storm of public opinion. It was rumored that Zhang Jike had indulged in gambling and accumulated a huge debt, and even more seriously, it was exposed that he used private photos of his ex-girlfriend Jing Tian to offset his gambling debts. This incident was like an earthquake, shattering his previously good public image and causing many cooperative brands to terminate their contracts with him, with related products being taken off the shelves. During that dark period, he went into seclusion. But Zhang Jike did not let the difficulties defeat him completely.…

In the 2011 World Table Tennis Championships, after a fierce battle, Zhang Jike narrowly defeated his teammate Wang Hao 4-2 to win the championship. Overwhelmed with joy, he raised his head and let out a long howl, tearing apart the shirt beside him. His wild and unrestrained performance made the fans scream in excitement, and the entire scene was boiling. At the age of 23, Zhang Jike reached the pinnacle of men's table tennis for the first time. His fierce fighting style made Japanese and Korean players tremble, and Japanese entertainment reporters gave him the nickname "Imperial Tyrant Tiger," while Chinese fans affectionately called him "Tibetan Mastiff." As the world's seventh player to win the grand slam in table tennis, Zhang Jike is powerful in the sport. However, due to his outstanding abilities, he is known for being unruly and flamboyant, which also led to his downfall. In 2017, on a variety show, Zhang Jike gently wrote two letters "K" and "T" on the beach, and drew a big heart between them. Fans speculated that this guy must have fallen in love. Soon enough, Zhang Jike and actress Jing Tian announced their relationship, which shocked the entire sports and entertainment industry. Everyone envied and blessed their sweet love story. Unfortunately, this sweet love only lasted for a year before they officially announced their breakup. This was followed by a shocking revelation that Jing Tian was being blackmailed by someone who had her private photos. After Jing Tian reported the incident to the police, the person was caught and revealed that…

Recently, Zhang Jike mentioned in a live stream an unknown but highly skilled table tennis player - Hao Shuai. Hao Shuai was once hailed as one of the "Six Little Dragons" of the national table tennis team alongside Wang Hao and Chen Qi, but ultimately could only serve as a practice partner within the national team, an experience that evokes emotion. On January 18th, Zhang Jike started his live stream, saying: "Originally, when Wang Liqin played as the main force, Hao Shuai served as a practice partner. Later, when we became the main players, Hao Shuai remained a practice partner. Then, when Fan Zhendong became the main player, Hao Shuai also practiced for a period of time. But then, the young players gradually couldn't keep up with him, and Hao Shuai stopped being a practice partner." Zhang Jike's words revealed his deep regret for his old friend Hao Shuai's bumpy journey. Hao Shuai, 41 years old, was once a star player of the national table tennis team, possessing a unique left-handed horizontal grip style. His fierce offensive in the first three shots made it difficult for opponents to cope. Legendary international table tennis player Waldner once gave him high praise. In 2009, Hao Shuai helped China win the World Cup team championship, an achievement that should have earned him a place in the history of the national table tennis team. However, fate seemed to be against him, and despite his outstanding skills, he repeatedly missed the opportunity to become a main player in the World Table Tennis Championships, eventually choosing…

On January 18th, Beijing time, Olympic champion Zhang Jike revealed during a live broadcast that Hao Shuai is considered the strongest sparring partner in the national table tennis team. Zhang Jike, 36 years old this year, is an Olympic champion and Grand Slam winner, and also holds the record for being the fastest player to complete the Grand Slam in history. He has now become a table tennis coach. Hao Shuai, who is already 41 years old, was once known as one of the "Six Little Dragons" of the national table tennis team alongside Wang Hao, Qiu Yike, and Chen Qi. He plays with a left-handed horizontal style, using two-sided anti-rubber loop shots, and is particularly strong in his first three attacks. He was once described by Waldner as "the most talented player among Chinese athletes." He won the 2010 Team World Cup, but has repeatedly missed out on being a main player at the World Table Tennis Championships. He is still playing in Japan. During a live broadcast teaching session, Zhang Jike mentioned Hao Shuai. He said, "When Wang Liqin was the main player, Hao Shuai was the sparring partner. When we were the main players, Hao Shuai was still the sparring partner. When Fan Zhendong became the main player, he also sparred for a period of time, but later he stopped sparring because none of them could win against Hao Shuai." This sounds somewhat heart-wrenching, as Zhang Jike acknowledged Hao Shuai's strength, but he has never been an absolute mainstay of the men's national table tennis team.

Recently, the well-known media personality He Xiaolong has continuously criticized the national table tennis team, targeting the head of the national table tennis team Liu Guoliang, as well as the two major traffic stars promoted by the national table tennis team, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin. Today, He Xiaolong unleashed his criticism again, criticizing some of Liu Guoliang's practices and ridiculing the combination of Sha and Tou, believing that by embracing a big leg, they are actually puppets on strings, and Fan Zhendong and Zhang Jike were not selected because they are uncontrollable. He Xiaolong pointed out that the main problem with the table tennis fan circle is not how crazy the fans are, but that the marketing of the national table tennis team is subverting the normal competitive order. He jokingly calls it the "sales champion culture," where the sales champion designated by the leader enjoys unlimited glory, while the true strength players are left in the corner. In He Xiaolong's view, the sales champion should have been Fan Zhendong or Zhang Jike. Fan Zhendong has such a good foundation in results, and it would be more stable for the national table tennis team to promote him, but the problem lies in the fact that Fan Zhendong obviously cannot become Liu Guoliang's puppet on strings. "Because in this plan, the sales champion's performance must be used for my benefit, and the sales champion must listen to me and follow my orders, so I can't promote Fan Zhendong; if he doesn't listen, all my efforts will be in vain." As…

"Once criticized, now praised - what does this change in attitude signify?" Zhang Jike's recent evaluation of Wang Chuqin has ignited a storm of discussion. Known for his straightforwardness in the table tennis world as the "Tibetan Mastiff," why has his opinion of the younger generation changed so drastically in just a few months? The conversation ranges from competition to mentality and on to heritage, striking at the heart of the matter, no wonder it has sparked a frenzy of online discussion. If one word were to describe Zhang Jike's career, it would be "ups and downs." From winning both singles and team championships at the 2012 London Olympics to being plagued by injuries in the latter half of his career, his story is as thrilling as a roller coaster. It is precisely this experience of "climbing from the depths to the peak" that has made Zhang Jike an inspiring idol in the hearts of countless fans. After retiring, his life did not return to calm. On the contrary, he quickly seized the pulse of the flow, becoming a brand spokesperson, internet celebrity, and table tennis coach. In live streams, he is humorous and witty; in online courses, he imparts his knowledge generously. His successful transformation not only proves the limitless possibilities for athletes after retirement but also provides a clear career path for those who follow. Some even jokingly say, "The Tibetan Mastiff has transformed into a versatile talent, busier than when he was playing!" Compared to Zhang Jike's "spectacular" career, Wang Chuqin's professional trajectory appears more "low-key and…
