For many fans who care about table tennis at the just-concluded Tokyo Olympic Games, it is not surprising that Malone can win the men's singles championship again. What everyone cares about is that, as a successful veteran, he resolutely underwent surgery on 20 19 and risked his life to fight for the Olympic Games again.
In this regard, Qin Zhijian, the coach of the men's team, revealed Malone's inner world to some extent before a competition: Malone likes Jay Chou's song Superman Can't Fly best, and Qin Zhijian once heard tears in his eyes, "because he thinks the lyrics are written a bit like Malone-he is burdened with many people's expectations and has never relaxed his demands on himself".
Why is Malone so powerful and how did he become an impeccable "hexagonal warrior"? A circle of friends sent by Liu 20 19, the current president of China Table Tennis Association, is the best portrayal.
This seemingly "bland" and somewhat "chicken soup" dynamic reads: "This Sunday morning, I went to the table tennis hall for a surprise inspection to see how many people used Sunday to make up lessons. There was only one person in the men's team training, and 30 people played 29 people in the backspin. This is the legendary genius, not terrible. The terrible thing is that genius works harder than you. "
I believe many people can guess that Liu is talking about Malone!
This "terrible" self-discipline also comes from Malone's persistence. After enduring the "forbearance" of the two Olympic Games in Beijing and London, Malone once saw teammates Marin and ZhangJike win the men's singles championship. "Don't forget your initiative, so that you can achieve your ultimate goal", he always uses this sentence to spur himself.
This is also the motivation for Malone to say that he will "continue to play and enjoy the fun of table tennis" in the future!
