On March 12, the inaugural WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament featured the first round of the men's singles tournament.
In a game that had no suspense, but the biggest unpopularity broke out, the world champion lin gaoyuan of Chinese men's table tennis, in the match against South Korea's Lin Zhongxun, but was swept by the other side 0-3, becoming the first player in national table tennis to lose the foreign war.
Lin Gaoyuan was born in 1997, as early as 5 years ago, he qualified for the world table tennis championships in singles, has a very good strength, but Lin Gaoyuan's fragile psychological quality has seriously affected his own play, and he is also nicknamed "Lin Sister" by fans.
Lin Gaoyuan has a very high winning rate in the team, and has defeated such a top master as Ma Longfan Zhendong, but the results of the foreign war are difficult to say.
In the first round, Lin Gaoyuan's opponent was South Korea's Lim Jong-hoon.
Whether in terms of world ranking or personal strength, Lin Gaoyuan should be far ahead of his opponents, and it should not be difficult to win.
But in the first set of the game, Lin Gaoyuan could not enter the state of the game for a long time, and fell behind 1-6 in the opening round, although Lin Gaoyuan desperately moved his state, he still lost the first set with a score of 6-11!
In the second set of the game, Lin Gaoyuan's state improved, but in the handling of key points, Lin Gaoyuan was slightly conservative, 9-11, Lin Gaoyuan lost another set, and the big score was 0-2 behind!
In the third set, Lin Gaoyuan started well and took a 4-0 lead.
However, South Korea's Lin Jong-hoon suddenly increased the intensity of the attack, which also made Lin Gaoyuan look extremely uncomfortable, there were many undeserved mistakes, and actually lost 8 points in a row, and was overtaken by the opponent 8-4!
After that, Lin Gaoyuan's mentality completely collapsed, losing the game 6-11!
As the world champion of national table tennis, facing the players of foreign associations, but playing in the game is afraid of hands and feet, such Lin Gaoyuan has also been questioned by many fans!
With such a fragile psychological quality, does the national table tennis really have to give Lin Gaoyuan so many opportunities to participate? Is there still value in nurturing?
Since the success of Lin Gaoyuan's direct access to the World Table Tennis Championships in 2017, Lin Gaoyuan has been firmly in the top 5 main position in the team, during this time, Lin Gaoyuan has participated in 3 World Table Tennis Championships, 4 World Cups, 4 Finals, 1 Asian Games, 2 Asian Championships, and 2 Asian Cups.
It can be said that he has not been absent from most of the world-class and Asian-level competitions in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, and naturally realized the dream of world champion and Asian champion. But even so, Lin Gaoyuan still had difficulty in hiding his embarrassment of losing foreign wars many times.
Nowadays, the competition within the national table tennis is fierce, Lin Gaoyuan, who has lost so many foreign wars, objectively speaking, should not give him so many opportunities to participate, we should cultivate younger and more potential athletes as soon as possible, such as Xiang Peng, Lin Shidong and Wang Chuqin, a group of young athletes, all have very good psychological quality, have a strong ability to resist pressure.
National table tennis should give more opportunities to young players, like Lin Gaoyuan, civil war insiders, foreign war laymen, can participate in more domestic leagues, as for the opportunity of international competitions, or let young athletes with better foreign war results participate!
