In a day that sports fans have been waiting for, the civil war on the table tennis field at the World Cup has once again caused an uproar. On April 19, Beijing time, Fan Zhendong suffered an unprecedented triple blow in the quarterfinals with Lin Gaoyuan, and every challenge tested his limits. The suspense and controversy of the game are endless, and people can't help but ponder, is this the cruelty of sports competition or the display of the indomitable spirit of athletes?
The first blow: the referee's controversial decision
The match entered the crucial third game after the first two games were tied at 1:1. The duel between Fan Zhendong and Lin Gaoyuan ushered in a turning point at 3:5, when a seemingly exquisite counterspin serve by Fan Zhendong was judged to be fouled by the referee, which directly led to the deduction of points. This penalty not only interrupted Fan Zhendong's tactical arrangement, but also had a huge impact on his game mentality. From 3:6 to 4:10, Lin Gaoyuan scored continuously, and the situation was almost one-sided. The referee's decision obviously touched the sensitive nerves of many viewers, and the discussion about the penalty on the Internet was also in an uproar.
The second blow: a sudden injury
When the score came to 10:5, Fan Zhendong suffered a second blow - a hand injury. The sudden injury forced him to call a medical timeout, and all eyes were on the worried team doctor and coach. Fan Zhendong's tendons are numb and he feels oppressed, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to him who is about to compete for a singles spot at the Olympics. Fans took to social media to express their concern and support for him, expecting him to persevere.
The third blow: the key game failed to turn the tables
After a medical timeout, Fan Zhendong returned to the court with an injury, and although he tried to score two points in a row, he eventually lost the game 7-11. The loss in this game made Fan Zhendong fall behind 1-2 in the first three games, and in the face of the next game, will he be able to turn the tables again as he did against Lin Shidong?
A double test of sportsmanship and referee impartiality
