hello friend from 3:00 to 6:00 he talks about his match vs lee sang su in WTTTC 2016 and his olympic final with wang hao? also does he changed hi backhand rubber to tenergy 80?
Hi George, I don't think he mentioned any of those specifically. Instead, between 3:00 and 6:00 he showed us some of his soft, emotional sides that we don't usually get to see. Firstly he said how ordinary but cherishable and irreplaceable the bat he had been using to win a series of champions since 2011 was. Then he opened up to show what was under his cool and mysterious expression. He said that although people focused on his unprecedentedly quick grand slam in 15 months, they might have ignored his continued efforts over 20 years (since he was 4 yrs old) to achieve all those. Throughout those years, he had also thought of giving up when he stumbled and felt low - as any ordinary person would, but the key was how to cheer himself up to overcome the difficulties. One of the drives came from the pressure and responsibility he was bearing. It is known that only 3-4 table tennis players are to represent a country at the Olympics. In the extremely competitive Chinese Table Tennis Team, that means some 20-30 potentially equally talented fellow players having to devote their time and skills as the training partners of the selected 3-4 representative players. He appreciated that it was those "unnamed heroes" that make them, the gold medalists, who could enjoy the honour and fame in the limelight. He admitted that it was an advantage over other countries, where there were usually very few table tennis players who had significantly different playing styles to train each other. He followed this up by exemplifying the 2012 Olympics Men's Single Final vs Hao, but was not from an angle of technical review. He said people might saw his winning as a breeze, but he actually felt much weight (expectation on him and his training partners' devotion) on his shoulders, especially at times when he continuously lost points - he described that as breathless. Therefore, he was completely relieved and relaxed after winning the match point. This was the content during the time period you mentioned - hope this helps. Later on he shared how it usually felt when a final was fought between two Chinese players - it was awkward, as they were fighting against their most familiar rivals, and sometimes close friends. Therefore, when one lost, they didn't tend to exchange their views over the match immediately; instead, it could take a week or even a month for the loser to review the hard moment. ;-) I don't know how about you, but I previously only knew him on TV over the matches, and regarded him as a usual talented, powerful, cool, tough and keen-on-showing-off world champion. However, after watching his performance at the Rio Olympics and this video, I am deeply touched by his persistence, sense of responsibility and appreciation. I hope he never forgets his words and fights for the best on behalf of him and all his supporters.
