1. Can Lin Gaoyuan and Zhang Benzhi fight again?
In the WTT Championship, Lin Gaoyuan passed the hurdles and broke through the top 4 alone and advanced to the final, which was the best among the male table tennis players in the national table tennis, but because of his performance in the final, he was "denounced" by many netizens, accusing him of how he could lose this game that was "more difficult to lose than to win".
Lin Gaoyuan can go to this step is enough to prove that his strength is completely enough, but this stage of the game is often not compared to the strength but the mentality, Lin Gaoyuan most need to overcome is the psychology, only if his heart is strong, the hand will not be soft. Although many fans are angry at Lin Gaoyuan for this loss, they still hope that Lin Gaoyuan is good, hoping that he can fight for breath and prove it to himself.
The coaching staff did not completely abandon Lin Gaoyuan and gave him the opportunity to compete again. Zhang Benzhihe also registered for the competition, in addition to Hugo, Carlsson, Zhuang Zhiyuan, Zhang Yuzhen, Fark, Niwa Takashi and other famous players. I hope Lin Gaoyuan must seize this opportunity and perform well!
2. Zhang Ben's brothers and sisters played together for the first time
The European Summer Series Zhang Benzhihe (2003), Zhang Benmeihe (2008) were involved, Zhang Benzhihe and after winning the championship Zhang Benmeihe also specially posted photos to congratulate his brother, the relationship between the brothers and sisters is really very good. The upcoming WTT Tunisia regional competition, Zhang Ben brothers and sisters are both in three, it is worth mentioning that the two will be paired in the mixed doubles, when the two will appear together will definitely attract a lot of attention, I don't know the degree of tacit understanding of the brothers and sisters, how to match the strength, it is worth looking forward to!
Points, bonuses
