Wang Jian Jun - jpen at its best

Sadly he's switched to CPen + RPB D=...his game has died down a bit.

Post 1001 =D

I can't imagine how he can switch between jpen and cjen without any major set back. I would like to see a few more players with traditional cpen (with or without rpb) playing at top level. Xu Hui is another one.

Not quite ready to say that, since my No1 is Ryu

Are you serious?? Is this for real?

he was origially chinese penhold and a great younger player. but then china had too many good penhold players, so they made him and national team training partner. He was made to be a ryu clone when ryu was olympic champ. now ryu is no longer a threat he is back to using traditional chinese PH, which he used originally. China sent alot of the older national team member out to Europe to make so $$ before they retire.

doesnt really matter cause he didnt really represent china in world competitions before. only played in china internally i guess.

bleachfan92 wrote: erm. i read it in a chinese forum. i should think its accurate. he was rpb-ing with jpen in the past.

he's definitely a 2nd line player because the team did not put him in the international spot light. 

he is in europe and he has been losing. He is probably the biggest choker on the tour.

oh oh that is so lame didnt you watch the video yet? i saw quite alot of third ball attacks you know esp against the WLQ you mentioned. i am a super jpen fan but i never really thought wang jian jun was hot from the start?

wjj played for sichuan in the super league with ryu in the past. seeing him being a cpen convert to jpen ryu was quite good friends with him and gave him a bty rsm blade before. these are facts. and i would think a more appropriate use of the word lame would be for you.

Insane footwork. Great player.

TTcrawsaive do you happen to have the link to the Wang Jian Jun vs. vs. Liu Yang 2005 Super League match used in the video? That match looks really good and I always love it when the crowd is really fired up.

It's true that Wang was ordered to change to J-pen. CCTV have a program about the offstage hero. LGL says that before he can loop with his backhand welly but that is so many good player in the chinese national teams. If he do not change to J-pen, probably we won't know his name

yea wang is a training partner. for those who understand mandarin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cPnUS-vNOg&feature=related
the commentator from cctv mentioned some of his history during the game
