When the women's table tennis won the Asian Games women's team for the fifth consecutive championship, the men's table tennis was naturally not far behind.
On the evening of the 26th, the Hangzhou Asian Games table tennis men's team final was held in the Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium, and the national table tennis men's team defeated the South Korean men's team 3-0 and won the Asian Games table tennis men's team eight consecutive championships.
Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long represented Guoping.
Similar to the women's team, the promotion journey of the national table tennis men's team is also quite smooth. From the group stage to the final, the national table tennis men's team did not lose a set, and won 3-0 in the big score.
In the semifinals, the Chinese team met Chinese Taipei, who caused a lot of trouble for the national table tennis at the previous Asian Championships - Gao Chengrui and Wang Chuqin, Lin Yunru and Fan Zhendong played a tiebreaker in both sets, and Lin Yunru also won the second set at one point.
However, when it came to the Asian Games, the Chinese team did not give their opponents much chance, and Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and Ma Long all won 3-0.
The final opponent of the national table tennis men's team is the South Korean team, which also eliminated the largest "dark horse" Iranian men's team in the table tennis field with a score of 3-0.
Fan Zhendong appeared domineeringly.
In fact, the Korean men's table tennis has always been the old rival of the Chinese team in the Asian Games, and this Asian Games is the eighth consecutive time that the two teams have met in the Asian Games men's team final.
Looking forward to the final, Ma Long said: "There are definitely challenges, the Korean team will give it their all every time they meet the Chinese team, and they are also very combative, the finals of the last Asian Games are all Chinese teams against South Korea, I hope everyone will do their best." ”
Coach Wang Hao roared on the sidelines.
In the men's team final, the South Korean men's table tennis took the lead in sending Lin Zhongxun, while the Chinese men's team adjusted the order of appearance, allowing the youngest Wang Chuqin to play first - in the previous two rounds of elimination, the first to play was Fan Zhendong.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Chuqin and Lim Zhongxun are both left-handed players. In the first game, the two fought all the way to 9 draws, and Wang Chuqin won the key two points to win the national table tennis to win the opener. Lim then pulled the game back 11-8.
Wang Chuqin celebrates the victory.
After the draw, Wang Chuqin quickly won the third set 11-5. In the fourth game, the score was glued again, and Lin Zhongxun once tied the score to 10, but Wang Chuqin scored 2 consecutive points again, and finally won the first game 3-1, helping Guoping take the lead.
In the second game, Fan Zhendong faced Ahn Jae-hyun. Fan Zhendong scored back-to-back points after 5-5 to win the first set 11-6.
In the second game, Ahn Jae-hyun held the set point 10-7, but Fan Zhendong scored five consecutive points to win the second game. In the third game, An Zaixian collapsed, and Fan Zhendong took advantage of the situation to win another game 11-3, and the Chinese team led 2-0.
The "Dragons" are too stable.
And when Fan Zhendong left the court, he also deliberately slapped Ma Long - and then Ma Long, who sat in the third singles, played against Park Hyun-hyun, and the "dragon team" did not give any suspense to the match, and won 3-0.
So far, the Chinese men's table tennis defeated the South Korean team 3-0 and won the second gold medal in the table tennis event of this Asian Games, and the road to winning the championship was not lost. At the same time, this is also the eighth consecutive championship of the Chinese men's table tennis Asian Games team.
