On February 17, the semifinals of the Asian Badminton Team Competition will start, and the Chinese men's team will PK with the South Korean team in the semifinals to compete for a place in the final. Because the Chinese team has hidden the 2 main forces of men's singles and 2 pairs and 2 groups, the men's doubles has become the weakness of the Chinese team. In order to beat South Korea in the semi-finals, the Chinese team needs to win all three singles events to have a chance of advancing to the final.
The Chinese team is led by Lu Guangzu, Weng Hongyang, Lei Lanxi, and Wang Zhengxing in the men's singles, but Lu Guangzu has not played so far, and in the men's doubles, Ren Xiangyu/He Jiting, Chen Baiyang/Liu Yi, Xie Haonan/Zeng Weihan led the game. The South Korean men's doubles team is the best in the world, Seo Seung-jae/Kang Min-hyuk and Kim Won-ho/Jinryong are the world's top men's doubles, and the Chinese men's doubles team cannot take points from the Korean team. In contrast, South Korea's men's singles is weak, with all four players outside the 100 players.
Comparatively speaking, the Chinese men's singles is stronger than South Korea, and the Chinese team needs to get 3 points to have any hope of winning. Although the Korean men's singles is weak, they are good at playing team competitions, and they often have super performances in team competitions. In the knockout round against Chinese Taipei, they unexpectedly scored 2 points in men's singles, which was the biggest boost to advance to the semifinals.
The semi-final lineup predicts that the men's singles is expected to meet Lu Guangzu, Weng Hongyang and Wang Zhengxing, and the overall strength and condition of these three men's singles players are the best. The four South Korean men's singles players are Jeon Yi-chen, Cho Jian-ye, Jung Min-sun, and Woo Seung-hoon, and no matter who plays, China's men's singles are dominant. However, the biggest charm of the team competition lies in the team atmosphere, and whether the Chinese men's singles can withstand the pressure will be the key to winning or losing the game.
In Men's Doubles, South Korea will definitely continue to play Seo Seung Jae/Kang Min Hyuk and Kim Won Ho/Jin Yong. The Chinese team may adopt the strategy of Tian Ji horse racing, let Chen Baiyang/Liu Yi serve as a pair, Ren Xiangyu/He Jiting dismantle the team, and it is estimated that the lineup of He Jiting/Xie Haonan will impact South Korea's second double. If they can get one point from the men's doubles event, the Chinese team will have a better chance of advancing to the final.
If Wang Zhengxing can win, he will win the fifth game in a row for the third consecutive match, and he will have more opportunities to participate in the future and become the future hope of the men's singles.
