The defeat kicked off: it was reversed by the police/Zhou Kai
In the semifinals of the men's team of the 2023 Table Tennis Super League, the Shanghai Real Estate Team ushered in the first match against Shandong Luneng. However, the highly anticipated Xu Xin and his partner Zhou Kai failed to lead the team to a good start and lost 1-3. This disastrous defeat in the men's doubles match became an unfortunate prelude to the opening of the first match of the Shanghai Real Estate team.
Fan Zhendong is absent: Xu Xin shoulders a heavy responsibility
The importance of this game undoubtedly makes the team have high hopes for Xu Xin. However, this time, the absence of world No. 1 Fan Zhendong made Xu Xin shoulder a heavier responsibility. As a senior senior in the team and the former "king of doubles", Xu Xin was pinned on high hopes, but in the end he lost 1-3 and could not reverse the momentum of Shandong Luneng.
Details revealed: The game had four ups and downs
Every contest on the field is full of variables. In the first game, Xu Xin/Zhou Kai had a 10-7 lead, but unfortunately lost the key game point, and was finally reversed 10-12. In the second game, they gradually regained their form, putting pressure on their opponents in attack and attack, and won the game 11-5. However, in the third game, Yuan Licen/Xu Yingbin simplified their tactics and won 7-11, leaving their opponents passive again.
Xu Xin and Zhou Kai had no way out in the fourth game, but they still failed to reverse the situation. The opponent had the advantage in rhythm control and speed, and Xu Xin's direct backhand disadvantage became more and more prominent, and finally lost the match 7-11. Although this defeat has just started the whole game, it has also sparked concerns about the future performance of Shanghai Real Estate and speculation about the course of the season. Such a black start may bring more challenges and pressure to the team, but it may also inspire a stronger fighting spirit of the team. Fans will be watching to see what happens in the uncertain and controversial season.
