Lin Shidong failed to control his emotions well in the face of adversity. The second set started a lot behind and gave up directly; the fourth set was reversed, and the back was beaten randomly, allowing the opponent to "escape". Lin Shidong is talented, but his mentality is very immature. When he knows how to deduct every point, he will definitely be able to go to the next level.
