In the recently concluded men's singles 1/4 finals of the Macau World Cup, Fan Zhendong, the first brother of national table tennis, lost to teammate Lin Gaoyuan 2:4 and missed the championship. After Fan Zhendong was upset, he quickly appeared on the hot search list of social platforms, and was questioned by outside fans, and for the truth of Fan Zhendong's 2:4 loss, who noticed his hand made fans feel distressed.
Throughout this game, Fan Zhendong encountered a very big challenge, especially in the third game. When the two sides drew 1:1 in the first two games, Fan Zhendong's first difficulty was the referee, when 3:5, Xiaopang was two points behind, and his serve was directly deducted by the referee. This is also a big problem he encountered in the third game, he originally thought about how to execute the tactics well, but he suffered a sudden deduction of points, which also had a great impact on Fan Zhendong's psychology, so that from 3:6 to 4:10, Lian Lin Gaoyuan scored continuously, and it can be seen how much impact the referee's judgment has on Fan Zhendong.
Then at 10:5, Fan Zhendong's wrist began to swell, unable to continue the game, he took the initiative to ask for a medical timeout, the team doctor, including the coach, all came to see Fan Zhendong's situation, for fear that something big would happen, after all, at the Paris Olympics, Fan Zhendong has locked a singles quota in advance, if the wrist is injured, it may have a very big impact on the layout of the next national table tennis.
It can be seen in the picture at that time that Fan Zhendong was in great pain, and he kept adjusting his wrist, telling the coach that his hand tendons were numb and he was completely unconscious. But even so, after Fan Zhendong adjusted, he still returned to the court to continue to participate in the game.
For Fan Zhendong to lose the game this time, one is the special referee, and the injury to his wrist. After the game, Fan Zhendong was interviewed by reporters, talking about the game, he said: He played normally, and he didn't play badly after 8:1 in the fifth game, and he was more passive at the critical moment, and he didn't bite down to score. Talking about the medical timeout of this game, Fan Zhendong believes that he has some discomfort in the game, and after the adjustment, he still has to go all out to complete the game, hoping to play better and better in the future.
It can be said that Fan Zhendong's state this year is really not good, after all, as the main player of national table tennis, considering that his Olympic points are far ahead, but he is currently suffering from injuries, and he will miss the championship in three major competitions in a row, and his Olympic road may be very bumpy.
