WTT Doha Men's Annual Finals, after the big fat brother Liang Jingkun cut off Lin Yunru 3:1 to make a good start, the youngest player in national table tennis, Lin Shidong, who then appeared, fought hard for 5 games and lost 2:3 to Qiu Dang, a straight-board Chinese player of the German team, and suffered a round of tours.
Qiu Dang is 7 years older than Lin Shidong, debuted 5 years earlier, is a right-handed straight board play, takes the route of a fast gunner, and has a very strong ability to quickly attack the first three boards.
And Lin Shidong's backhand output is even more violent, in this battle, whether he can suppress Qiu Dang's straight and horizontal fight with his backhand is the key to victory or defeat.
In the first game, when Xiaoshi fell behind 7:10, he did not panic, he chased 2 points in a row, forcing Qiu Dang into a timeout. After returning to the game, Qiu Dang did not let the opportunity slip away, and he forced one point to win the first game 11-9.
In the second game, Qiu Dang still followed the tactics of the first game, did not fight with the small stone at all, and transferred the ball to the topspin period within two boards, and fought with the small stone for the bombardment ability of the middle and far platform. Qiu Dang, who has a height advantage, still has a very obvious advantage in the COSCO Taiwan hold, and he took the next city at 11:8 and took a 2:0 lead. The situation is already very favorable to the Qiu Party, and Xiaoshi's chances of turning the tables seem slim.
In the third game, Lin Shidong got off to a smooth start and once took a 3:1 lead. In this game, Xiao Shi gradually found some rhythm he liked, played the framework he was good at, and the violent backhand finally began to exert his power, and he effectively suppressed Qiu Dang's straight and horizontal play, and finally pulled back a game with 11:7, and the big score came to 1:2. Little Stone ushered in a chance to continue his life.
In the fourth game, Xiao Shi played proactively with no way out, and he won two more rounds of confrontation with great morale on the first and fifth balls, adding a lot of confidence to himself. In the first half, Xiaoshi led 6:2, and the situation was quite good. On the 9th ball, Xiaoshi once again reversed his primary and secondary goals and won the key points in the passive situation of being forced to put the ball high on the back stage. In the end, Xiaoshi pulled another game 11:2, and the two sides were tied 2:2 and entered the tiebreaker.
In the fifth game of the decisive game, both sides fought for real fire. Xiaoshi scored the first point, and Qiu Dang immediately scored 6 points in a row to fight back. In these 6-point shots, Xiaoshi made a mistake by himself by 3 points, and the lack of training in the competition became a fatal force to draw out the disadvantage at a critical time. Soon, Qiu Dang took the initiative to slow down the pace with his psychological advantage, and took advantage of Xiaoshi's eagerness to chase points, and continued to expand the lead, 7:2, Lin Shidong was already in danger. The desperate situation made Xiao Shi relax a little, and he continued to rely on his forehand to chase the score at a large angle, biting to 6:7. After all, Qiu Dang has too much experience in the competition, and in the face of Lin Shidong's strong pursuit, he did not mess up, and finally won the game 11:8, winning with a total score of 3:2, advancing to the next round, and will face off against Big Fat.
In this set of games, Lin Shidong played full of tension, and calmly launched a counterattack when he was two games behind, and finally dragged the game into a deciding game.
During the game, Lin Shidong played his dominant parts in multiple periods, basically releasing all his characteristics.
However, compared to Qiu Dang, Xiao Shi's mobilization seems to be too slow, and he is always beaten to the situation of retreat, which is directly related to his tactical design and the thinking cultivated in daily training.
Finally, I want to say that the current head coach of the national table tennis for Lin Shidong is Cui Qinglei, which seems to be a little less interesting in the modeling of the competition. Since Xiaoshi is the first reserve force under the age of 20 that the national table tennis is now focusing on, then in terms of coaching, he should also do his best to guide the competition, and he can no longer be treated with the cultivation eyes of his youth.
