At this point, if you are a national table tennis player, you may have already been banned or punished.
National table tennis men's unilateral, Lin Shidong was eliminated. Lin Shidong missed the opportunity in the fourth set, which is very regrettable. Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin and Ma Long advanced to the round of 16. Unfortunately, Ma Long will face Wang Chuqin. Malone just eliminated Africa Cup of Nations champions Aruna 3-1. After the victory, veteran Malone said that he had not yet reached the feeling of the original game, so there would be more unnecessary mistakes in the game. In addition, because it is a five-game three-win, the player is required to enter the state quickly, so there are many accidents.
