The process of the game
After the start of the game, the two old opponents did not do too much testing, and soon began to open and close the pull and attack, Liang Jingkun soon started behind, although quickly tied the score, but then was pulled apart, and then lost a game 7-11, the main problem is that he made too many mistakes, and he was not as proactive as Dako.
In the second game, Liang Jingkun obviously increased the quality of the attack in the near stage, and successfully knocked Dakko back to form an advantageous situation, but then he was disrupted by the opponent, and the control of the near stage was not as good as Dakko, and he soon fell behind the score 7-10.
In the face of difficulties, Liang Jingkun began to fight back, saving 2 game points in a row and then forcing the opponent to call a timeout for adjustment, but after returning to the court, Darko still failed to find a feeling, and Liang Jingkun continued to attack strongly, and finally achieved a reversal of 12-10, and there was no danger of pulling back a game, avoiding the situation of falling behind 0-2 and falling into a desperate situation.
In the third game, Darko's mentality began to change, and he may still be thinking about why he was overturned before, so he fell behind, and Liang Jingkun seized the opportunity to maintain the lead, and finally won 11-7, but forced the opponent into a desperate situation.
In the fourth game, Liang Jingkun quickly released his state, and continued to successfully break the defense at the beginning, and finally ended the whole game 11-7, thus staging a good reversal of three games in a row, eliminating Darko to advance to the men's singles quarterfinals, and continuing to attack the championship.
