Preface
4-2! In the Macau World Cup, Ma Long played against Hayasuke Togami and successfully advanced to the semifinals!
This World Cup is really very close, and the whole process is also very thrilling.
The new format of the Macau World Cup is too cruel
This time, the Macau World Cup is really cruel because of the reform of the new competition system, and it will still be eliminated after a 2-2 draw. On April 17, when it was still the group competition, Kuo Man was the one who drew but failed to advance.
And it is also the only player of the Chinese team who did not advance in the round of 16, which is really a pity. At the beginning of the game, Tian Zhixi was the first to find his rhythm and successfully won the first two games, leading 2-0.
Kuo Man also realized the opponent's offensive through the fight, and gradually played more and more advantageously, winning two games in a row, and finally tied 2-2. However, in terms of small score calculation, Tian Zhixi led by 3 points and successfully qualified for the qualification, while Kuo Man was eliminated.
This result is mainly related to the format of this competition, in the group stage will be played in the "four games" situation, no matter what the result is, it is played in 4 games, if there is a 2-2 draw, it is calculated according to the total score.
This situation is indeed full of suspense for the game, but it is still very cruel for the players, if the small score is not played well, and if they do not go all out, they will still lose the game in the end.
This kind of thrilling situation has also been encountered by many national table tennis players, Chen Xingtong and Thai players also played 2-2 when they were in the game, fortunately they were one point ahead in the total score and successfully advanced, this slight advantage is really thrilling.
And Wang Yidi also drew when he played against the German player, but Wang Yidi had 7 points more than the opponent in the total score and successfully qualified for the qualification.
This group stage is really scary to watch, but it is even more anxious to enter the top 8 matches, and there are also upsets, and the two world champions have been eliminated one after another, which is really regrettable.
The two world champions of national table tennis have been out
Wang Yidi and Liang Jingkun, the two world champions, actually missed the quarterfinals, which is really shocking!
On April 18, the World Cup entered the fourth match day, Wang Yidi and Zhang Benmei fought hard for five games, and finally were eliminated with a score of 1-4.
It is estimated that when he first came up, Wang Yidi had not yet figured out the opponent's tactics, and he played relatively conservatively, losing the score of 10-12, but the score was tied in the next game.
But this Benmeihe played more fiercely, and he kept changing his playing style, with a very clear purpose, that is, he wanted to use his own methods to disturb Wang Yidi, but he didn't expect it to really work, and he won two games in succession.
The most critical thing is the fifth game, it can be seen that Wang Yidi also tried his best, but he still didn't grasp the key points, lost the game by two points, and failed to advance to the quarterfinals.
To be honest, Wang Yidi was very thrilling when he advanced to the round of 16, especially in the third game, there were a lot of mistakes, and he was still 2-0 at the beginning, but he was a little anxious and lost his rhythm.
In the fourth game, Wang Yidi was also a lot behind, but fortunately, he chased back point by point, and there was no danger, and he successfully qualified, and the top 16 entered, but he still lost the next day.
And Liang Jingkun played against Sweden's Carlberg, these two played extremely fiercely, and finally after seven games, Liang Jingkun missed the quarterfinals with a score of 3-4.
In fact, from this period of time, among the national table tennis men's team, Liang Jingkun's performance is very outstanding, in the Singapore Grand Slam, his teammates have been out, he resisted the pressure alone, and finally successfully met with Wang Chuqin.
When it came to the Incheon Championship, his teammates were eliminated one after another, and he successfully entered the final against the Brazilian star Calderano, which can be regarded as defending the "face" of the national table tennis men's team with his own strength.
He has also been affirmed by everyone in his ability to play foreign wars, I don't know if the schedule is too intensive, or he didn't master the rhythm in the game, no matter what, I still hope that Liang Jingkun will adjust his state well, and look forward to meeting again in the next game.
Today, it's an 8-in-4 game, and the Dragons' results are also very impressive.
Malone turned the tables against the wind
At 12:40 p.m. today, Ma Long played against Hayasuke Togami and successfully advanced to the semifinals with a score of 4-2.
To be honest, there will be some worries before the start of this game, after all, the age difference is here, the Dragons were born in 88 and will soon turn 36 years old, and Hayasuke Togami, born in 2001, is not yet 23 years old, and he still can't compare with the young man's body in terms of speed.
But Ma Long really, after playing for so many years, he did not panic even if the score was behind, and successfully regained it with his own experience and successfully won the semi-finals.
In the first game, the Dragons lost 5-11, which is not an ordinary small difference, but in the second game, the Dragons quickly adjusted their condition and successfully won, but they lost again in the third game.
Watching Ma Long play, I don't know why, I was really nervous more than them, and the camera of the live broadcast swept to Wang Hao next to him, his expression was dull, his eyes were gone, and he should be very anxious when the score was behind.
When he was replenishing his state in the middle of the game, Wang Hao kept saying something on the side of the Dragon team who was drinking water, like a worried "old father", but there were no obvious waves in the expression of the Dragon team.
In the next three games, the Dragons were full of firepower, especially in the fourth game, when the Dragons scored 9 points, the opponent still scored 0 points, and the three games were won with an absolute advantage of a large score.
When the Dragons won, Wang Hao's expression on the side of the court changed suddenly, he clenched his fists and applauded, and when the game was over, this hanging heart was finally put down. The Dragons are truly the "Eternal Gods"!
epilogue
When today's game is over, the top four singles will all be released, as for whether they can successfully meet with their national table tennis teammates, it depends on their ability, anyway, the dragon team has taken the lead to complete, waiting for everyone in the semi-finals!
