The national table tennis team won the mixed World Cup championship with a full record, but when the players and the coach took a group photo, whether we thought of another main force, he is the world's fourth ranked Liang Jingkun. This mixed World Cup Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, Zhou Qihao and so on with the team to do sparring, but not Liang Jingkun figure. So why is Leung so unpopular?

Beat Zhang Benzhihe twice, won Togami Hayabuke once, and Liang Jingkun was tough in singles and not strong in doubles.

Don't look at Fan Zhendong's poor performance in the Mixed World Cup, losing 1-2 to Zhang Benzhihe, Liang Jingkun's results against Japan in 2023 are still very good. In March, the WTT Star Challenge Goa station, Liang Jingkun 3-1 Zhang Benzhihe, the Japanese brother blocked out of the top four; In May, Liang Jingkun eliminated Zhang Benzhihe 4-2 in the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, and reached the top four of men's singles for the third time in a row, and also shattered Zhang Benzhihe's dream of medal in the World Table Tennis Championships. After the game, Liang Jingkun excitedly knelt down to celebrate the scene, faintly in front of me. In November at Taiyuan Station, Liang Jingkun defeated Togami Hayabuke 4-3 in the men's singles final and defended the honor of the national table tennis men's singles.

Since entering the national team in 2012, Liang Jingkun has played for the national table tennis team for 11 years, spanning three Olympic cycles. However, as the main force, Liang Jingkun has not been selected for the Olympic team once. Why did Liang Jingkun kneel down to celebrate after defeating Zhang Benzhihe? The Durban World Table Tennis Championships is a big competition, if the main opponent in the competition, Liang Jingkun's hope of going to Paris is not much, just big fat withstood. Togami Hayabuke is now also the No. 2 figure of the Japanese men's team, and he also partnered Zhang Benmei and defeated Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin in the Mixed World Cup, and the second brother of Japan also fell in the photo of Liang Jingkun.

From a recent point of view, Liang Jingkun in the restraint of Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru, Lin Gaoyuan speed flow play, it is true that his rotation and strength have advantages, but why the mixed World Cup national table tennis does not use Liang Jingkun? The reason is: a single fan Zhendong, doubles Liang Jingkun does not give force. In fact, before the mixed World Cup, the national table tennis team also made a mixed doubles trial, Liang Jingkun did not play out. Mixed World Cup competition system is relatively special, the first three sets of mixed doubles, women's singles, men's singles is very important, the national table tennis team can normally play three sets of combat can end the match.

Mixed doubles, the national table tennis team has Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu, Liang Jingkun and Qian Tianyi mixed doubles combined combat effectiveness is even worse than Kuai man/Lin Shidong. Therefore, in the mixed doubles Liang Jingkun can not help the team. In men's singles, the national table tennis team has Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long the top three players in the world, and these three people can also be free to combine in men's doubles, Liang Jingkun in singles and men's doubles compared to the three main forces, there is no advantage. In a comprehensive view of the mixed World Cup matches, Liang Jingkun belongs to the less than, more than the lower, he failed to be selected also choose normal. As a top player, it seems that single and doubles should be given to the force, once the lack of items in the team competition is not cost-effective, difficult to arrange troops.

Malone at the age of 35 "old age" still maintains a very high level of competition, mixed World Cup whether it is men's singles, or men's doubles, play very stable. Especially with Japan war five sets, Malone partner Wang Chuqin played in the men's doubles, it is the stability of the dragon team on the court, to win this key game. From the point of view of the Olympic points and world rankings, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin are very likely to play singles in Paris Olympic Games, and the choice of the third party of the group is mainly to see the doubles ability.

The cha-cha doubles is Liang Jingkun's short board, in this respect, he is not as good as Lin Gaoyuan in mixed doubles, men's doubles. As a table tennis player, Liang Jingkun has not participated in the Olympic Games for 11 years, it is really a pity. On singles, he is not as good as Fan Zhendong, on mixed doubles, he is not as good as Wang Chuqin, on men's doubles, he is not as good as Malone, Liang Jingkun even have a skill, but no use in the mixed World Cup, and even may lose next year's Paris Olympic Games.

Do you feel sorry for Liang Jingkun? It is not that Liang Jingkun has no strength, but there are too many talents in the national table tennis team. The men's team ranks in front of him on the three main forces, and the single and doubles ability are too strong. What do you think of Liang Jingkun's prospects for the Paris Olympics?
