At present, the influence pattern of China men's table tennis is very clear: Kelon is extremely arrogant, Xu Xin is getting old, and Xiao Pang is not overbearing. Therefore, if we must choose the only brother at present, we can only choose between Malone and ZhangJike. Taking the Rio Olympic Games as the dividing line, ZhangJike and Malone are ahead of two eras, and they have completed the handover of the flag-before the Rio Olympic Games, ZhangJike was a brother; After the Rio Olympics, Malone was his elder brother-and the age of Fan Zhendong's elder brother would not come until the Tokyo Olympics at the earliest.

Why is Malone a brother? We can examine them one by one from the following aspects:

1, strength

Malone is known as the "hexagonal warrior" and "the strongest on the surface". At present, there are basically no technical shortcomings. Malone's style of play is violent and stable, sharp and continuous, forehand is overbearing, backhand is mysterious, near Taiwan and far Taiwan are magnificent, inside Taiwan, delicate and tenacious, with no solution to attack, tight defense, flexible pace and vigorous strength ... In fact, there is no need to list all the awards Malone won. His current strength is the highest and strongest in the table tennis camp, and he definitely deserves the title of "One Brother".

2. Self-discipline

Malone has always maintained a high degree of self-discipline in life and training. He doesn't drink, smoke, go to nightclubs or play games, and he seldom goes anywhere except the arena and the power room. Even at the time of his fame and appeal, Malone didn't participate too much in TV programs. With an almost extravagant low-key, he explained his love for his career and respect for those who love him.

A "brother" should have a positive role model, which has been fully demonstrated in Malone.

3. Attraction

Malone seems cold on the court, but once he leaves the court, Malone will immediately release infinite affinity. No matter in front of teammates, coaches, fans and the media, Malone never puts on airs, let alone puts on pride. He treats people kindly and courteously, and is modest and decent. Sometimes, even unconsciously reveal the true temperament expression related to "cuteness" and "staying cute".

A brother should not be aloof, and he doesn't have to have an icy face that refuses people thousands of miles away. A brother endorsed by Malone is the real god who doesn't play cool and takes the arrogant road.

4. Clean your body

Malone has no negative news, which makes him a rare species in table tennis. Whether emotionally or morally, whether in social norms or industry rules, Malone has consistently advanced on the track of honesty, sincerity, five stresses and four beauties. It is really hard for Malone to keep his true heart, keep his true nature, be calm and calm, and be neither arrogant nor impetuous in the state of fame and fortune. This also makes his brother's identity more convincing.
