Don't take it lightly, Fan Zhendong is changing!The road to growth after losing
In the WTT final, Fan Zhendong lost to Wang Chuqin and lost the chance to win the championship. While seeing the failure and losing the championship, we should also see the changes in Fan Zhendong. In addition to doubts, Fan Zhendong's play was also fully recognized, which is a positive attitude. However, there is a process for everything. From the standpoint of competing for the Olympic title in Paris, this defeat is not a good thing, which is good for Fan Zhendong's technical transformation and psychological quality.
After back-to-back defeats in a crucial match, Fan had to make adjustments.
After winning the championship at the Durban Table Tennis Championships, Fan Zhendong's situation became very bad, whether it was within the national team or in foreign competitions, he encountered great difficulties, and he lost many important games. Especially in the World Championships, he lost to Ma Long, in the team competition, he lost to Zhang Ben Zhihe, and in the Asian finals, he lost to Wang Chuqin.
In this game, it's not a big deal for him to lose, it's normal for his state to fluctuate a little. However, Fan Zhendong lost back-to-back matches and was hampered in both internal and external matches, which proves that Fan Zhendong has some problems both technically and psychologically, which is also where he needs to improve next.
As the world's No. 1, he is also the World Table Tennis Championships champion, the World Cup champion, and the new leader of the national team. The higher Fan Zhendong's status, the better the results, and the more he was studied by his enemies and companions. It is normal to pursue Fan Zhendong and learn and improve. He has a good attitude, he puts his attitude very low, and he is always desperate. Battles and collisions are inevitable, and this battle is also inevitable, so Fan Zhendong can only continue to improve his skills and improve his psychological quality.
Don't be in a hurry to be pessimistic, Fan Zhendong is changing.
Judging from the last final, Fan Zhendong's defeat was really surprising, and his results were not good. However, from the finals of this session, we can see that some changes have taken place in Fan Zhendong. This change is more of a change in science and technology, a change in thinking, and now the general trend is clear, and what we want to see below is the result.
From the point of view of skills, Fan Zhendong has an absolute upper hand in terms of quality and stability, and only Liang Jingkun can fight with him, and no one can compare with him. However, table tennis itself is an ever-changing sport, and high level and stability can only be regarded as one aspect, and it does not explain everything. Lack of flexibility and control is a problem that plagues Fan Zhendong. In this competition, Fan Zhendong's movements on the field are obviously much less, and the size of the squat and the strength of the hands are the main ones here. Fan Zhendong deliberately increased his speed in the game, strengthened the change of landing point, rather than just seeking quality and grappling.
In the final game, the reason why Wang Chuqin was able to draw with Fan Zhendong was because Wang Chuqin's physical fitness was very good, and on the other hand, it was also because Fan Zhendong himself lowered his level and accelerated his progress. Whether it is Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Lin Yunru, or Zhang Benzhihe, they all have strong flexibility, especially in the first three pieces. Fan Zhendong is at a disadvantage as soon as he comes up, and when he enters the stalemate stage, he will become more passive, and his defense will have to be more, this stalemate situation will not work in this era of big balls. How to improve the ability to control the ball and improve the ball skills is the problem faced by Fan Zhendong.
Psychologically speaking, Fan Zhendong has also made some progress this time. The first game is Dako, the second game is Aruna, the third game is Lin Gaoyuan, and the third game is Wang Chuqin, this time Fan Zhendong has an absolute advantage. Regardless of whether the score was won or lost, Fan Zhendong did not show panic, but kept thinking about countermeasures. It's a shame to lose this game, but a change of attitude is necessary.
Failure is not bad, the Olympics are even more important.
There will always be fluctuations in the performance of the players, and sometimes it is not a bad thing to lose the game, the victory or defeat of the game is the most important thing. The final test of the Paris World Championships is undoubtedly the Olympic Games, the previous World Table Tennis Championships, at best, was just a high school exam, and Fan Zhendong has won two championships, this result is already very good, we can expect higher.
This defeat is not a bad thing, but it can make Fan Zhendong more aware of his own problems and look for what he needs to improve. Whether you win or lose, or keep winning, you can hide the past, but if you wait until the Olympics, it's too late. Before the Olympics, he must maintain his peak form, so that Fan Zhendong can be more confident!
Many people have raised questions about his hair and headband, and to be honest, even if Fan Zhendong wants to recover, it is impossible to completely get out of his current situation. Those are all appearances, and there is no substantive content, Fan Zhendong's problem now lies in skills and psychology, and what he has to do in the future is to continue to improve himself. Bear with me a little longer, Fan Zhendong is coming back again!
Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Fan Zhendong's current performance?Please feel free to speak!
