On April 20, Beijing time, Fan Zhendong lost three crowns in a row, but his speech after the game was even more worrying, if Liu Guoliang and Wang Hao want to make amends, it is not too late.
The biggest upset in this World Cup broke out completely, before Fan Zhendong faced his teammate Lin Gaoyuan, and was finally eliminated by Lin Gaoyuan 2-4, and all three major games in a row missed the championship anyway, which is a very cruel result. What's more, after these games were not played well, Chubby was really bad.
In the Singapore Grand Slam before, Fan Zhendong lost 1:3 to Lin Shidong, a young man in the team, and the loss to the juniors can be understood as the impact of young people, and Fan Zhendong has been studied a lot, but the next Incheon Championship Wang Chuqin truce, in fact, is equivalent to putting the opportunity to win the championship in front of you.
As a result, Fan Zhendong went all the way to the semifinals and lost to Hugo Calderano 2:4, which was really inappropriate. Hugo is not that strong, Wang Chuqin beat him and won 4:2, you lost 2:4 anyway. It can only show that Fan Zhendong's dominance is still a cliff decline, and then this World Cup against Lin Gaoyuan, Fan Zhendong has always been Lin Gaoyuan's bitter master, the two sides know the roots, Fan Zhendong's strength is thicker, so it is difficult to lose to Lin Gaoyuan, but this time it was 2:4 lost, and Lin Gaoyuan's backhand was beaten without temper.
What is even more worrying is his statement after the game, when in the post-match interview, Fan Zhendong said what he thought, he said that in the sixth game of the tiebreaker, I always think that as long as I score one point, but I always can't win that point. He also emphasized that his play was relatively normal, including that when he was leading 8:1 in the fifth game, he felt that there was nothing wrong with playing, and he might have handled a few changes better, but he felt that he still played normally.
Saying that he thinks that he only needs to bite off a point, but he just can't bite down, what can he feel from the inside? That is, Fan Zhendong has a deep sense of powerlessness. I think that if I bite this point, I might win, and I will turn it over, but I just can't get this point, and I can't get it when I need it most, will there be such a situation in the previous Fan Zhendong? He even said that he played quite normally, which means that the normal play of your current strength should not be able to beat Lin Gaoyuan? This is definitely not good.
He said this kind of thing, but it is worrying, if Fan Zhendong feels that he is not playing well and is abnormal, it is understandable. If he plays normally, thinks that he has no problem playing, and then can't beat Lin Gaoyuan, then it will be a big trouble, Lin Gaoyuan ranks fourth in the national table tennis team at most, you say that you can't beat him if you play normally, so what is your current state Fan Zhendong, how can you rest assured that he will go to the Olympics?
