On April 15, Beijing time, Fan Zhendong won 4-0, Ma Long won 4-0, and Liang Jingkun was also 4-0, but Lin Gaoyuan was worried about 2-2, which made Liu Guoliang and Wang Hao regret disappointment.
In this World Cup, the Chinese national table tennis has all appeared on the main forces of the five giants, and four of them have played very smoothly. Malone was the first to play, as the core veteran of the team, and won 4-0 to show his strength. Fan Zhendong also played 4-0 after playing, of course, the opponent Duda created a greater threat to him, after all, Duda's strength is also stronger, Fan Zhendong's third game once fell behind by 5 points, but finally completed a shocking comeback of 14:12. In addition, Lin Shidong also won Minoan 4-0.
Liang Jingkun played in the evening and also won a 4-0 victory over Australia's Lin Wenzheng. Then the four main players all played 4-0, and one player unexpectedly played a score of 2-2, that is Lin Gaoyuan. It's a really bad scoreline, and it's hard to say whether he can qualify from the group for the new format. According to the rules of the women's team, Lin Gaoyuan, who suddenly made a mistake, may have a significant decline in Liu Guoliang's heart.
Lin Gaoyuan is also a seeded player, this time facing a strong opponent Puka, the result of the two sides in the four games of a 2-2 draw, Lin Gaoyuan won the first two games 12:10, 11:7, and the next two games 11:13 and 8:11 all lost. Compared with the total score of the whole game, Lin Gaoyuan only won one point at 42:41, which is a very bad situation, and the biggest bad news for Lin Gaoyuan also fell from the sky.
Because now after playing such a score, it means that Lin Gaoyuan is very likely to be out of the group, this time the World Cup has modified the rules, there are three players in the group stage, and you can only advance if you are the first, and at the same time, there are four games in each game, even if it is 2-2, there is no tiebreaker, and in the end it is a small score in the group stage, and Lin Gaoyuan is now very disadvantaged. Because the other opponent is Zhuang Zhiyuan, in case he draws Zhuang Zhiyuan's game again, and if Zhuang Zhiyuan defeats Puka, he will be eliminated if he is far higher than Xiaofen Lin, and the mentality of this ball is really too bad.
In such a crucial game, Lin Gaoyuan played like this, which is really unacceptable. In the later games, even if he defeats Zhuang Zhiyuan 3:1, what if Puka wins Zhuang Zhiyuan 4:0, so that Puka can also complete the promotion, and you don't have any net score. So now that Lin Gaoyuan is playing like this, he has already forced himself to a dead end, and then he must win when he plays with Zhuang Zhiyuan, and he has to win by a small margin. is that you have to beat Zhuang Zhiyuan in every game, and in addition, Zhuang Zhiyuan and Puka can't play too well, otherwise he may not even be able to participate in the knockout round.
The other four main forces are so stable, and they all know that every game is very important under this new competition system, not just a game, but all the games have to be won, but Lin Gaoyuan dropped the chain and pulled his hips in the key battle, and lost two games, how can his unstable performance become the absolute main force of national table tennis?
So after watching Lin Gaoyuan's performance, it gives people a feeling that the main Olympic lineup of national table tennis may have nothing to do with him, and the competition will not be launched here. To put it bluntly, it is 4 people to compete for the last 3 places, that is, Ma Long and Liang Jingkun to compete for the third person in the group, he still has a chance, but the World Cup games are like this, and no one can help him.
