This is mainly because Malone is a late bloomer. However, ZhangJike, their teammate, showed amazing talent prematurely and won great honor on the international stage. Of course, this late bloomer is mainly aimed at his teammates. First of all, Malone is an excellent and talented athlete. Due to the long-term competition, his psychological quality has become stronger and stronger, and he has gradually become the backbone of the China table tennis team, and he has also served as the captain of the China table tennis team.

Malone, his psychological quality is not so strong in the early game, which is mainly determined by his personality. Because Malone has some introverted personality, his psychological quality is not so strong, and he lost some games in the early game. So it is not as good as his former teammates and opponents. This has also caused great pressure on Malone, but he is not an easy-to-yield player. He also worked hard and finally got everything that belongs to him.

Of course, compared with ZhangJike, Malone is somewhat low-key, because ZhangJike made his debut very early, and he showed amazing talent as soon as he made his debut. As a table tennis player who completed a Grand Slam in the shortest time in the history of China team, ZhangJike can be said to have a very high historical position. So compared with ZhangJike's sharp-edged, Malone is too low-key. Of course, we know that this gap is not the gap in strength, but the gap in character between them.

However, now Malone's psychological quality has gradually matured, and he has become the captain of the China table tennis team, so the China table tennis team has also made great achievements under his leadership, so we also have reason to expect Malone to get better results on behalf of the China table tennis team in the Tokyo Olympic Games. Of course, we also have reason to believe that Malone can play a better level in future competitions.
