On April 17, Beijing time, the ITTF Macao World Cup entered the final round of the group stage, and the captain of the national table tennis team, Ma Long, defeated the Chinese Canadian player Li Yuanzhang 4-0 and easily entered the top 16 of the men's singles. Ma Long was the main force of the national table tennis men's team to advance to the knockout round first, and he only allowed his opponent to score 38 points in two rounds of 8 games, and the powerful control of the hexagonal warrior is back!
Previously, Wang Yidi, the main player of the national table tennis women's team, had entered the top 16, and Da Di was the first player to check the small score and advance.
Highlights of the game
Ma Long's opponent in the first round of the group stage was Australia's 15-year-old Aditya Salene, who had just participated in the senior international competition, and the little guy who had just participated in the senior international competition was completely unable to compete with the Dragons
Li Yuanzhang is 21 years old and is also a young post-wave generation. He is a symbolic semi-finished product of China's table tennis youth training system, and he went overseas before he reached the national team level in China, and did not grasp the most quintessential concept of Chinese table tennis.
Li Yuanzhang also got 4-0 on Saline, and the winner qualified in a battle with Ma Long, seemingly standing on the same starting line, but the huge difference between the two made the game lose suspense before it started.
The course of the game
In the first game, Li Yuanzhang started to fight, and he knew that if he couldn't play momentum at the beginning, then he could only accept the result of being suppressed by Ma Long. Ma Long did not mess up his position under Li Yuanzhang's crazy forehand sideways fight, although the opponent once chased the score to a 7-7 draw. However, Malone showed strong control in the late game, 11-8, and Malone won the first game solidly
In the second game, Ma Long no longer played with the young people, and the advantage of his fast forehand connection was fully released, and Li Yuanzhang was frequently mobilized by the Dragons' two large-angle long-term lines, and he couldn't catch up with the landing point. 11-4, the Dragons won a big victory, playing the real difference in strength between the two sides.
In the third game, Ma Long continued to control the field, and the strong computing power of the first three boards made Li Yuanzhang fall into passivity throughout the whole process, 11-5, Ma Long won another game, and the score of 3-0 has made the Dragon team lock in the qualification place in advance.
In the fourth game, it had nothing to do with the right to qualify, Ma Long still played seriously and dedicated, giving a wonderful performance to the audience, and finally won 11-4 and finished the game perfectly.
