The first game of the men's finals was the match between national table tennis player Liang Jingkun and Lin Yunru, and the two did not play each other many times. Lin Yunru's injury troubles in the first half of this year were relatively sluggish, and he played a game with Liang Jingkun and lost 2-4. Lin Yunru did not have the upper hand against Liang Jingkun, mainly because of the lack of offensive skills on the forehand.
Liang Jingkun's forehand and backhand skills are quite balanced, especially the forehand attack, which is powerful and heavy, and he is a representative player of men's heavy ball play. Although Lin Yunru is at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength, his dexterity is better than that of Liang Jingkun. These two people have their own characteristics in terms of playing style, although Lin Yunru has not participated in various competitions for a month, it is undeniable that the ball has risen in the second half of this year.
Liang Jingkun still has to be fully prepared, since he has chosen to fight against Lin Yunru, this shows that the national table tennis coaching staff has made comprehensive arrangements. Although Liang Jingkun's adaptability is average, his strength is particularly strong, and he is good at fighting tough battles in this kind of foreign war. When Lin Yunru is weak in overall strength, how to disrupt Liang Jingkun's rhythm of the game is particularly important.
Since Lin Yunru defeated Ma Long in an upset before to win the championship, it means that the speed of this player's growth has begun to increase. Liang Jingkun must not underestimate the enemy, once the enemy is underestimated, he will be defeated. This is a game that no one can lose, once Lin Yunru eliminated Liang Jingkun in the first round, the result of the next match against Lin Shidong is not easy to predict.
As long as Liang Jingkun increases his adaptability and maintains his concentration in the game, he is still sure to defeat Lin Yunru. Liang Jingkun may also be dragged to the deciding game by his opponent, after all, the opponent's strength is not so weak. And this is the first national table tennis match, if you lose, it will affect morale. For Liang Jingkun, winning is also to cheer for his teammates in the next games.
Another player, Lin Shidong, lost 2-3 to Germany's Qiu Dang, and Lin Shidong took a break after participating in this year's World Youth Championships. As the first brother of the German team, Qiu Dang has not participated in many international competitions this year, and he mainly participates in the European League. Lin Shidong is still better than Qiu Dang in terms of hard power, but in terms of the flexibility of the game, Qiu Dang has the upper hand, Lin Shidong has too few changes in this game, and the game situation is passive.
Qiu Dang, as a direct shooting player, pays attention to the attack of the first three boards, but although his basic skills are solid, there is still a gap compared with the national table tennis players. Therefore, Qiu Dang is a disadvantage to the main force of Warring States table tennis, although Lin Shidong's adaptability is average, but his basic skills are relatively good, and he is not inferior to Fan Zhendong, Qiu Dang must increase tactical changes if he wants to win.
If the two sides are tied and stable, Lin Shidong can easily crush Qiu Dang. The straight board players themselves are mainly based on tactical changes, Qiu Dang's backhand offensive strength is good, but Lin Shidong's backhand is even more popular. If Qiu Dang competes with Lin Shidong for the backhand, he really won't have the upper hand, which is Lin Shidong's favorite rhythm.
This time, Lin Shidong's signing was good, and he did not meet his old opponent Zhang Benzhihe. It may also be that he is not sure to defeat this opponent for the time being, and he will not fight until the opponent's strength declines. However, Lin Shidong must pass the first hurdle this time, because the strength of the opponent in the first round is average, and if he can't pass the first round, can he still be called a young player who focuses on training?
Lin Shidong is the pride of the current post-00 national table tennis players, such players must try to go further, at least to remain undefeated in foreign wars in order to complete the goals and tasks assigned by the coaching staff. Compared with other post-00 players in the foreign association, Lin Shidong's current growth rate is still slow. If you want to solve this problem, you have to put in a good performance, just like France's Lebrun.
And the third national table tennis player to compete is Fan Zhendong. For the current Fan Zhendong, winning the championship is the only goal. If Fan Zhendong did not win the championship in the finals, in the eyes of fans, it would be a manifestation of declining competitiveness, because fans have not seen Fan Zhendong win the championship for a long time.
Fan Zhendong's opponent in the first round is Slovakia's Darko, a more experienced competitor who has won the European championship. However, the decline in performance in the past two years has also been obvious, and it may be the rapid rise of the French Lebrun brothers, which has caused Dacko's results to fluctuate. Although Darko has participated in fewer international competitions, it does not mean that the competitiveness of this player has declined.
Fan Zhendong still can't be underestimated in the first round of fighting, and once there is a light enemy, he may be upset. Because Fan Zhendong, as the highest-ranked player, will definitely be studied by the opponent, but the speed of Daktronics is not very fast, as long as the speed is not raised, it is still inferior to play against Fan Zhendong.
This competitor is also excellent in chasing points, and has certain characteristics in terms of tactical changes. Fan Zhendong will also be quickly chased when he is leading in the game, but he still has to maintain his concentration in the game. In this finals, due to the relatively high rankings of the players participating in the finals, they are all top players.
For Fan Zhendong, no competitor can be taken lightly. Fan Zhendong also has to avoid being chased by the opponent in a row, if the opponent plays a super hot first three board attack, it is really possible to take the lead. Just like Lee Sang-so's upset defeat of Fan Zhendong before, it was an unconventional way to win.
Fan Zhendong did not participate in the previous Table Tennis Super League, and since the team World Cup, Fan Zhendong has been training and preparing for the competition. Therefore, this finals is the best game to test Fan Zhendong, and Fan Zhendong is also a new year, hoping to get off to a good start with a big victory.
