On January 5, Beijing time, the WTT Doha Men's Finals, the national table tennis was a bumper harvest, and all three men's singles players reached the semifinals.
But the same 3-1 completed the promotion, and the same men's singles and men's doubles went hand in hand. Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin's situation is not the same, especially in an interview after winning, Lin Gaoyuan's statement once again caused a certain amount of controversy.
The one with the highest gold content in the promotion of the national table tennis men's singles this time must be Wang Chuqin's 3:0 direct victory over Zhang Benzhihe. It was a very important foreign battle, and Wang Chuqin not only won, but also shattered Japan's hopes of reaching the final to win the title, which laid the groundwork for a potential matchup that could take place at the Olympics.
Zhang Benzhihe can be said to be the strongest enemy of national table tennis, he won against Fan Zhendong, won against Lin Gaoyuan, and it was not a problem to beat Ma Long and Liang Jingkun, but only Wang Chuqin took the responsibility and blocked the opponent from the top four. In the case that Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong have been eliminated in the second half, it is also the big head who holds the last hope of this half of the district.
But Wang Chuqin has made such a great contribution, but Lin Gaoyuan publicly said that Fan Zhendong is the first in the world. Wang Chuqin's current strength is obviously improving and improving, but Lin Gaoyuan is after winning. But it was meaningful: "First of all, it is very difficult for him to win against Ma Long, basically he has not won before, and now it is very important to win against him and learn from him." ”
Then he talked about his single-handed opponent Fan Zhendong, and he publicly emphasized: "I will let go of playing Fan Zhendong and will go all out, because in his eyes Fan Zhendong is the strongest player in the world." So it's easy to calm down and enjoy the game. ”
Wang Chuqin had just defeated Tomokazu Zhangmoto, but he said that Fan Zhendong was the strongest player in the world. This remark also caused a burst of discussion and heated discussions among netizens again, and don't forget that the current Wang Chuqin is competing with Fan Zhendong for the position of the first brother of national table tennis, Lin Gaoyuan is tantamount to standing in line with a clear banner and supporting Fan Zhendong, thinking that he is the first brother of national table tennis, you Wang Chuqin is still not good, because he said that Fan Zhendong is the strongest in the world, which is definitely not purely based on the world ranking.
It can only be said that Wang Chuqin has not conquered Lin Gaoyuan yet. Even with a win over Tomokazu Haramoto, he may need more and more dominant victories in the minds of his teammates. Of course, in terms of direct PK between the two sides, the champion must be Fan Zhendong a little more, and the distance from the Grand Slam is also closer to Fan Zhendong, he only needs one Olympic champion to win the Grand Slam, and Wang Chuqin still needs to win all three major championships.
But there are still many fans who pointed out: "Lin Gaoyuan is too imprecise in saying this, Wang Chuqin is not bad, how can he say it casually?", "You have the ability to defeat Wang Chuqin in both events, only in this way can you prove that what you said is right!", "Wang Chuqin is the strongest in the world." ”
It is worth mentioning that Lin Gaoyuan is indeed likely to defeat Wang Chuqin in two consecutive games. If he can eliminate Fan Zhendong in the semifinals in the men's singles to advance, there is a high probability of beating Wang Chuqin, and in the men's doubles match, the combination of him and Lin Shidong is just about to face Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin.
