Moscow Direct: The 2010 Chinese Nat'l Team Trials

I'm watching over TVU Player / tvunetworks.com. Shanghai Sports is working for me currently, but CCTV-5 isn't.

Now the final, Chang Chenchen vs Guo Yan.

A different woman (Liu Shiwen?) is doing the commentary now, but in the first match I think it really was Zhang Yining.

Ma Long, Xu Xin, and Zhang Jike have gone through.  I think these will be China's new Aces.
Have the coaches given any hints who they will pick for the remaining spots heading to Moscow?  Will they make a decision soon?

Tuned in just in time.  It is Liu Shiwen.  Guo Yan came out winning and Liu summed up the match.

That's for sure.

maybe, somebody can translate what liu guoliang is saying in the beggining?

anyone recorded the matches of wang hao ?

Li Ping also openly admitted Ma was superior in many aspects of the game.  LGL said Li has shown the crowds his level of play. And so the three youngsters who hopped on the Moscow-express are Xu Xin, Zhang Jike and Ma Long, leaving two spots only for the trio: Wang Liqin, Ma Lin and Wang Hao.

y'know, i don't think i've ever seen ma long that determined to win.  he really, really, really wanted that game.  li ping had no chance from the get-go...

anyhow, like i said above, i think wlq is "automatically" in, so the only question mark is the final spot.  will it be ma lin or wang hao??

I know it won't happen, but i really want them to take Chen Qi.  I imagine he has been working really hard lately, because I have never seen him play as well as he did at the German Open.

Yes, Chen Qi has played well but I don't think he will be in.  He is young and he will have another opportunity in the future.
I think the remaining 2 spots will be given to Wang LQ and Ma Lin; this will be their last world team championship.  This is a reward for what they have done for Chinese TT.  Wang Hao? -not in good or acceptable condition so Wang Hao will be left behind.  This is my prediction.
It is good and beneficial to have at least one veteran on the team.

I always like to watch his game either if he was winning or losing.. sure I wish that he wins most of the time being his fan, but watching him play and observing his technique is very nice and special.

Well, from the first, second and third trial, the one who played very well but lost narrowly is Hao Shuai. Hope he got a chance to become world champion also as he is the only one of those veterans who never won anything major. Another spot should go to Wang Hao because he is relatively young and will be there in 2012 Olympics but not WLQ and ML, I think.

Between the first and second trials there was a tournament of the No 9 - No 16 of CNT , Lei Zhenhua  won and took XuXin's place. LGL told CCTV5 that Lei Zhenhua won easily.
Before the second and third trials there was a tournament of the No 10 - 17 of CNT , Li Ping won and took Zhang Jike's place. Somebody said Li Ping won very difficultly, A player named Zhang Chao made him a lot of trouble.

Now many many Chinese think there should be five rounds "Moscow Express".  Look at Wang Hao, Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, all hope LGL's taking care, all like SH*T.

ZJK and XX are not consistent enough to play major roles in the Team worlds,  unless China wants to give other country a chance to beat them. The big 3 are still better at dealing with foreign players, except Wang Hao who's in terrible shape right now...

They need experience in big tournaments so they can learn to play under the international pressure against new people they don't know well. Wang Liqin and Ma Lin are getting old, they can't stick around forever, the youngsters have to step up and a team championship is the best place to do it at, even if one of them fails hard at it, the others are still almost unbeatable.
