A few days ago, the 2022 WTT Oman Men's Singles Final ended in a controversy, in this national table tennis derby, the big fat Liang Jingkun staged a reversal in the case of losing a set first, and finally defeated teammate Lin Gaoyuan 4:1 to win the championship. It is worth mentioning that there was an 11:0 score in this game, which is one of the few in the confrontation of national table tennis players. In the national table tennis team, there has always been a competition rule, that is, in the game, the opponent cannot be allowed to get a "duck egg" to avoid a situation of disrespect for the opponent. Therefore, even in the case of a 10-0 lead, the Chinese players should give up a point in a friendly manner.
This is also the main reason why many fans ridicule the national table tennis players for their poor acting skills. Zhang Yining, the big devil who dominated the world women's table tennis world in the Athens Olympic Games and the Beijing Olympic Cycle, once became the object of everyone's interesting discussion because he deliberately served the ball in the game to give up a point to the opponent. In the women's singles competition of the 2019 Budapest World Table Tennis Championships, Liu Shiwen, who finally won the championship, hit two 11:0 points in a row. What is even more surprising is that the players who were ruthlessly "shaved" by Liu Shiwen were actually table tennis Grand Slam winner Ding Ning and Tokyo Olympic women's singles champion Chen Meng.
Interestingly, at that time, Liu Shiwen's state was as good as day, and after giving Ding Ning a "duck egg" in the semifinals, she also specially apologized to the good sisters. In the following final, facing the little sister Chen Meng, Liu Shiwen was even more overwhelming, scoring 11 points in a single game, and finally defeated Chen Meng to lift the Women's Singles Championship trophy for the first time. After the award ceremony, Liu Guoliang, chairman of the national table tennis team, also made a few jokes with Liu Shiwen, saying that the 11:0 score of the national table tennis team in the derby was very low. And Liu Shiwen alone played two such scores in the World Championships, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
Liu Guoliang said in an interview that although the Chinese team did not advocate this score before, due to the change of the rules of the international table tennis competition, everyone has slowly begun to dilute the awareness that this single game cannot get points. Liu Shiwen also revealed that in fact, she did not pay attention to the score in the game, but strived to play every point and win every point, as for the score of 11:0, she was also surprised. In the men's singles final of the Oman Station, Liang Jingkun scored 11:0 in the match with Lin Gaoyuan, which also made this topic once again arouse heated discussion among netizens.
For the emergence of this score, Liang Jingkun said that he and Lin Gaoyuan are very familiar with each other, and there are no secrets in terms of techniques, tactics and ball paths. Therefore, I am more successful in technical and tactical execution. Lin Gaoyuan also showed great calmness about the "duck eggs" he ate, saying that the two sides played every point well, in fact, they had the greatest respect for each other. What do you think about whether a table tennis game should deliberately give up one point to the opponent in the case of a 10:0 lead, or take advantage of the chase and then the next point?
