In the just-concluded Yokohama Grand Finals, the Chinese swept the 4 gold's. Kong and Liu Kong and Liu, the golden pair, did not shine in this tournament.
People naturally attribute that to the outside activities the pair had since the Olympics.
But Yin said that the failure to adjust to the big ball is the main reason. Yin said that in the big ball era, the table-tennis techniques are relatively simplified, and the importance of power is greater than before. Kong and Liu are both highly skillful players, with smaller motion amplitudes. Kong's table-tennis sense is still based on the small ball, and he has not been able to take advantage of his speed advantage. Liu's situation is even more complex.
