In the quarter-finals of the men's singles of the WTT Singapore Grand Slam, Fan Zhendong, the world number one in the national table tennis, once trailed South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun 1-2. At this critical moment, Fan Zhendong finally broke out, winning 2 consecutive sets to finally reverse the game and successfully advance to the next round. Previously, South Korea's Lin Zhongxun swept the national table tennis player Lin Gaoyuan 3-0, which has already sounded the alarm bell for us. In fact, Fan Zhendong can beat the South Korean team, really thanks to Ma Long's reminder. Ma Long has seen the impact of the change in the rules of this competition on the national table tennis, and also reminded Xiao Fat and other national table tennis players to be careful.
The Korean team is an old and strong team in the world table tennis world, and has given birth to masters such as Kanazawa Soo and Yoo Seung-min. Many fans still remember that in the 2004 Olympic Games, Liu Chengmin defeated Wang Hao to win the gold medal, and many fans still remember this game. If you let the South Korean players beat the momentum on the field, it is a very dangerous thing. Many people said that if Wang Liqin had reached the final that year, there might have been a different result. But in fact, in the face of Liu Chengmin, who had already killed the red eye at that time, even the peak Wang Liqin did not dare to say that he could definitely win.
Therefore, when playing against Korean players, we must first suppress the opponent in momentum. Lin Gaoyuan was blinded by Lin Zhongxun as soon as he came up, and he was not able to reverse the situation in the back. Fan Zhendong was also once led 2-1 by An Zaixian in this game, but Xiao Fat's psychological quality was obviously stronger than Lin Gaoyuan, after positive adjustment, Fan Zhendong won 2 consecutive games with a drum, and eliminated An Zaixian with a total score of 3-2, and successfully advanced to the men's singles top 8. Although the game process was full of twists and turns, being able to laugh at the end in this hard battle can see Fan Zhendong's kingly style.
In fact, Malone has reminded everyone before that the 5-game 3-win rule of this game is very accidental. The Dragons said that if you don't move yourself quickly during the game, you will lose the 3 innings quickly, so you must concentrate highly and let yourself get into the rhythm quickly. It was under this rule that Lin Gaoyuan entered the state too slowly under this rule of losing the game by losing 3 sets, and he would be swept away by the Korean players. If it is 7 innings and 4 wins, maybe Lin Gaoyuan can have more time to adjust, but this is the rule, and the Korean team is more accustomed to this change of rules, and this rule is unfavorable to the master.
But it is precisely because of the increase in chance that higher requirements are put forward for the players, and we can better see the strength of a master. Ma Long and Fan Zhendong are like this, Ma Long is also 1-2 behind when facing Wang Chuqin, and he is about to lose the game, but the Dragon team has to rely on its own strength to drag the rhythm of the game to their side, and finally reverse Wang Chuqin to win. The same is true of Fan Zhendong, who is also 1-2 behind, and his and Ma Long's game process is almost the same. Fan Zhendong really should thank Ma Long for reminding him that the Dragon Team always looks at the problem so thoroughly and can give advice to everyone in time as the captain.
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Guoliang is so heavy and powerful, the Dragons can still maintain such a good state at the age of 34, which has a lot to do with the essence of his good thinking and ability to find problems. Although the physical aspect has declined, Malone has become more old and spicy, which can make up for the shortcomings of his physical fitness decline, which is really powerful.
