In the just-concluded 2023 Table Tennis Super League, Shandong Luneng defeated Shandong Weiqiao and successfully defended the championship. Shandong Weiqiao has such a luxurious lineup, it should have been the biggest favorite to win the championship. But in fact, because of the existence of Wang Chuqin, Shandong Weiqiao has not won the championship for two years. Shandong Luneng will understand this truth in 2021.
The 2021 Table Tennis Super League men's team final, the same Luneng vs Wei Qiao, at that time, Wei Qiao defeated Luneng 3-2, in which Luneng's Ma Long scored two points, and Wang Chuqin was still a member of Luneng at that time. Luneng did not win the championship in the end, undoubtedly because Wang Chuqin did not play a role. Wang Chuqin was in charge of doubles and three singles at that time, but as long as one of the sets was won, Luneng could win.
But Wang Chuqin did not take it. Especially in the matchup with Zhou Qihao in the third set, Wang Chuqin at that time had already taken an 8-3 lead in the second game, but then collapsed, losing 8 points in a row and losing this game, and then was beaten 11-0, losing 19 points in a row, which has never happened in the 21-point system. After the game, Luneng thought that Wang Chuqin was useless, and later Wang Chuqin also left Luneng.
There is a similar situation in the 2022 National Championships team, in the 1 4 finals, the Beijing team vs the Heilongjiang team, also because Wang Chuqin lost two points alone, resulting in the Beijing team not even entering the semifinals. In the 2022 Table Tennis Super League, Wang Chuqin joined Weiqiao. Obviously, because Liang Jingkun was banned at that time, the absolute core of Weiqiao was gone, and there was no way to introduce Wang Chuqin, but obviously, Weiqiao overestimated Wang Chuqin's role.
In the semifinals of the 2022 Table Tennis Super League, it is also Luneng vs Wei Qiao, due to Liang Jingkun's absence, Wang Chuqin played as a single. However, Wang Chuqin lost to Xu Yingbin. In the end, Weiqiao lost 1-3 to Luneng. The only set he won was doubles, which had nothing to do with Wang Chuqin. But as long as Wang Chuqin can win a single duel, he will not lose. And everyone has also seen the results of the 2023 Table Tennis Super League, even if Liang Jingkun makes a comeback and can still win the MVP, he will not be able to let Weiqiao win the championship again, because Wang Chuqin has not left Weiqiao.
On the contrary, Luneng, who was expelled from Wang Chuqin, won the championship for two consecutive years. Wang Chuqin himself said that his first choice for individual and team competitions is the individual competition. Luneng understood this truth after being pitted by Wang Chuqin once, and was decisively expelled. But Wei Qiao didn't understand that Wang Chuqin not only lacked ability, but also had no sense of collective honor. So will Weiqiao understand this truth in 2024?List of high-quality authors
