Dear fans and friends, on January 4, Beijing time, the Chinese national table tennis ushered in the first civil war of the WTT men's finals! This game is not only related to who can compete with the little fat Fan Zhendong, but also related to the future and fate of many national table tennis players. Let me take you through a review of this thrilling game.
First, let's take a look at the situation before the game
The two sides in this match are Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan. There was no coach to accompany them, but they had done their job and managed to hold the top half. Now, it's a life-and-death battle between them for points and rankings!
In the previous three games, the Chinese team achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, and Fan Zhendong played both sides, and at the same time advanced in singles, he also won the men's doubles with Wang Chuqin. However, in singles, Liang Jingkun did not go so well. In the match against the German good player Qiu Dang, he overturned and lost with a total score of 2:3 and missed the semi-finals.
Second, the speed of life and death, Malone vs. speed
At the beginning of the game, both sides went back and forth, and they both used their best to win a game each. In the first game, Lin Gaoyuan went down 11:4, and Ma Long caught up 11:5. In the third game, it was an important scramble between the two sides! In this game, Lin Gaoyuan overwhelmed Ma Long 11:9 and took advantage of the score.
In the fourth game, Malone adjusted his state, led from start to finish, and decisively called the only timeout of the game when he was leading 8:4. This timeout was of great benefit to Malone, who continued to attack and made it 11:9 to 2:2 at the end.
The first four games were tied, Ma Long was calculating countermeasures on the sidelines, while Lin Gaoyuan used a backhand to match the change of the landing point to try to restrain Ma Long. At the beginning of the tiebreaker, Lin Gaoyuan led 4-1, but then he called a timeout strangely! This may have affected his rhythm, and Malone chased the score to only one point.
But just at the juncture when Ma Long looked like he was about to equalize, Lin Gaoyuan exerted his strength again! He yelled and cut points continuously, reversing from 4:5 to 10:5, and finally defeated Ma Long 11:5 and meeting Fan Zhendong in the semifinals!
