On September 30, Beijing time, the 2022 Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships began, and it was very strange that the first match day of the Chinese team was not scheduled for the competition. If this is relative to the World Cup in football, it must be a very abnormal phenomenon. But table tennis is China's national ball, and the first match of the World Table Tennis Championships, which is scheduled to play at home on October 1, must have an unusual significance. Although the opponents of the Chinese men's and women's teams tomorrow are very good, which players will be sent by the national table tennis team to play the first game is still a topic of great concern to the outside world.
Among the main players of the national table tennis team selected, Lin Gaoyuan of the men's team should be one of the players who are more concerned by the outside world. In today's situation, the national table tennis home to play the first battle of the World Table Tennis Championships, it is likely to arrange the core players who play a pioneering and exemplary role to lead the battle, and they will give gifts to the motherland's mother's birthday. And the player who is prone to accidental loss in the foreign game is likely to appear in tomorrow's starting lineup will not be too high.
Thinking of the 2006 Bremen World Table Tennis Championships, the 17-year-old Ma Long, who played out of the team selection tournament by himself, became a super dark horse, and using him to play in the World Table Tennis Championships also reflected the courage and vision of Liu Guoliang, the head coach of the national table tennis men's team at the time. Later, at the 2010 Incheon Asian Games, 17-year-old Fan Zhendong was also entrusted with heavy responsibilities, although he lost to Chen Feng and Li Hu in the first game against Singapore, and paid expensive tuition.
But looking at the current national table tennis men's line, which 17-year-old rookie is qualified to play in the World Table Tennis Championships? Wang Chuqin, who is 22 years old after 00, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun have become extremely embarrassing Mesozoic generations, the national table tennis men's team is now very lacking in 17 and 18-year-old rookies with considerable talent and training potential, and whether Lin Gaoyuan can play in the first game of the World Table Tennis Championships against Puerto Rico on October 1 is very worthy of attention.
