On January 5, Beijing time, Wang Chuqin 4-0 and Fan Zhendong 4-0, the two wild victories made Liu Guoliang very worried, and Li Falcon and Wang Hao could only accept the reality.
The final semi-final of the Doha Men's Table Tennis Finals has arrived, Lin Gaoyuan against Fan Zhendong. In terms of form, it is obvious that Lin Gaoyuan was in better shape before the game, because he and Lin Shidong teamed up, and the two had just beaten Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin 3-0. However, excellent doubles does not mean that singles are also strong, sometimes two people can't play doubles, maybe it's just because they don't communicate, and they don't have tacit understanding to cooperate, and it doesn't mean that there is a problem with strength.
Because although the combination of Xiaopang and Datou just lost 0-3 in doubles before the game, but back in the singles arena, the performance of the two is like a different person, completely reborn. You don't have to cooperate with each other, you can fight yourself, then the two of them will be too powerful.
Wang Chuqin played first as the world's No. 2 and swept the opposite Qiu Dang 4-0 to complete the promotion, helping his two teammates Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong to avenge their revenge. Both of them lost to Qiu Dang, but Wang Chuqin won 4-0, and there were three games that did not let Qiu Dang score more than 5 points, what level of play do you say this is?
Wang Chuqin was simply crushed, and now looking back, Fan Zhendong beat Lin Gaoyuan as well. This chubby opponent is even stronger than Wang Chuqin, and his performance is better than Wang Chuqin, especially the backhand has a feeling of dreaming back to the top overnight, and the dominance of the whole Taiwan's forehand has been completely recovered, and even Lin Gaoyuan can't catch his ball when he is three meters back.
In the first three games, Fan Zhendong was also the same as Wang Chuqin, and it was a crazy victory when he came up, two 11:6 and one 11:7, which is the world's No. 1. Lin Gaoyuan's play on the opposite side can only be described as sleepwalking, this is not the same person as the one who defeated Ma Long yesterday, Lin Gaoyuan is not only in no state, but also very timid to play, and he doesn't even dare to take the initiative to change the line. And more importantly, Lin Gaoyuan made too many mistakes, even if he made too many mistakes, his tactics also went wrong, he played speed, but he and Fan Zhendong played against COSCO and held each other, is this normal?
So it's a bit of a hard thing to understand. Lin Gaoyuan: What's going on? There is no state at all, and he is completely sleepwalking. And he can't quit when he beats Fan Zhendong, which should be something he knows very well, but this strategy has not been implemented. Like this 4th game, Lin Gaoyuan has fallen behind 0-3 and came to a desperate situation, and the 5:3 lead in the single game finally played a little better, and was scored 3 points by Fan Zhendong, and then called a timeout and came back without any change, it was directly a 9:11 fiasco.
Of course, after this fight, I believe it has sounded the alarm for the national table tennis coaching staff, as soon as the two 4-0 come out, Li Falcon and Wang Hao should only be able to accept the reality, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong are not worthy of men's doubles now. Otherwise, how do you explain that they lost 0:3 to Lin Gaoyuan an hour ago, and then an hour later they all reached the final 4-0 in the singles court? Liu Guoliang may also be very worried, the two ace players of national table tennis who are likely to go to the Olympic Games, played so badly in the men's doubles, but the men's singles are so violent, the third candidate to partner with them in the Olympics may have to be carefully considered.
