As the finale of the WTT Singapore Grand Slam, on the stage of the men's singles final, China's Ma Long and Fan Zhendong joined forces to present a spectacular epic offensive and defensive battle for the crowded audience. Such a visual feast also made the audience addicted. After 7 rounds of fighting, xiao fat finally laughed to the end, reversed and defeated the dragon team, which was affirmed by the applause of the audience.
In this battle, Fan Zhendong entered the state faster than Malone, and the sharp serve attack in the first two sets made the Dragons helpless and confused, and almost bloodlessly won the first two small innings. Compared with the extreme pull of the first two small innings of the women's singles final Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, the men's singles final rarely had many shoots in the opening stage, and the Dragons did not have a good way to crack Xiao Fat's serve. It seems that Fan Zhendong is going to repeat the scene of the previous Houston World Table Tennis Championships warm-up final 4-0 sweep of the Dragons.
However, as a veteran of the battlefield for many years, has already been added to two rounds of Grand Slams, how can Malone be so tied up? Seizing the big score to take the lead, Xiao Fat appeared a little loose, and taking advantage of the change brought about by the change to hook the serve, the Dragons suddenly turned the situation on the field and turned to attack three consecutive cities. Even luck seemed to be on the side of the Dragons, and the lucky side of the small game to win the score made him embarrassed to reach out to the annoyed little fat.
In the crucial 6th inning, Malone came up and played a dreamy start 3-0 to force Fan Zhendong to shout out a timeout, but the situation still did not improve after the suspension, and the Dragons waited for the rabbit to successfully take the points in the small fat serve round, and the score difference was further widened, and the 6-1 score meant that the Dragons seemed to be only one step away from victory. In a desperate situation, Fan Zhendong instead abandoned all distractions, gave up the pursuit of high-quality return balls, and the choice of shots was concise and clear, and the landing point was also full of changes.
Such a change effect is remarkable, the hexagonal warrior born in 88 in the face of Fan Zhendong, who is 9 years younger than himself and is at the peak, the technical and tactical advantage has long been out of the ascendancy, and can only be circumvented through the experience of the competition and a good mentality, and the two sides pull back to the same running line in mentality and on-the-spot play, then the comprehensive strength must be the younger Fan Zhendong's advantage. After equalizing the score by 6 draws, Xiao Fat was unstoppable and won the crucial 6th set, and the game entered the decider. The Dragon Team, who had lost the crucial game, showed a bitter smile, and he also understood that the Goddess of Victory had turned to Fan Zhendong and smiled. The little fat in the decider did not give the Dragons much chance, and after making a 4-1 start, he soared all the way, and finally won the decider 11-7, and finally won the 4-3 reverse victory.
In this game with full of gold content, Fan Zhendong showed comprehensive technology, excellent psychological quality and on-the-spot adjustment ability, which is worthy of recognition! After all, the opponent is a player of Ma Long's level, especially the Dragons, as the first double slam winner in history, has long been enjoying the fun brought by table tennis, there is no pressure on the record, and the on-field play is naturally more dominant, and being able to win in such a game is also of great benefit to Fan Zhendong's future growth.
However, this game also exposed some problems, and the semi-finals against Japan's post-00s young player Yukiya Uda Yukiya appeared in the problem, the big score led when Fan Zhendong had a wave of mentality, some of the balls were too much pursuit of quality and fell into a stereotype, the lack of change is a bit of a cocoon of self-binding. In fact, in the impromptu stage, one move and one style are as simple as possible, and it is good at changing according to the opponent's situation in order to achieve more with less. I believe that whether it is Xiao Fat's supervisor Coach Wang Hao or Liu Guoliang's guidance, they will seriously study it and give Fan Zhendong better advice.
In addition, compared with the women's team is now extremely inward-looking, resulting in a level that has been broken away from the world, the men's team has emerged in this event in an endless stream, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun's performance is not very ideal, considering that the Dragon team is about to turn 34 years old, is it difficult to rely on him to partner Fan Zhendong to carry the banner in the Paris Olympic Games? At this point, it is really necessary to lay out in advance. Otherwise, the disadvantages of players' faults and lack of connection will slowly appear, and if the competitiveness within the team is insufficient, it will also have an impact on Fan Zhendong's promotion.
