Leung Wai Hang, Wang Chang 2-1 India Black Tower
Leung is ranked No. 1 in the world, while India's Hetaranki Redshet, a former world No. 1, is very strong and is one of Leung's strongest competitors in the Olympic cycle.
The two pairs have faced each other 5 times in their careers, with Liang Wang holding a 3-2 advantage.
In the first game, Leung Wai Keng and Wang Chang took advantage of their speed to successfully suppress the tall and long Indian Black Tower, taking the lead 21-15. In the second game, Leung Wai Hang and Wang Chang made more mistakes, and India's Black Tower began to fight back frantically, 21-11 to pull back a game.

Li Shifeng 1-2 Lakshya
In the first game, Li Shifeng was in good shape, always suppressing the opponent, using his strong defense to constantly cause the opponent to make mistakes, and Li Shifeng also took the lead 21-13.
In the second game, Lakshya launched a crazy counterattack, constantly scoring through speed change, and Li Shifeng, who played relatively flat and stable, did not have much to do in the face of Lakshya's speed change, and fell behind 7-11 at halftime into a technical timeout, after the pause came back, Lakshya became more and more courageous, playing a wave of 7-1 shockwave, 18-8 opened the score gap, as Li Shifeng returned the ball to the net, Lakshya 20-8 got the game point, and with Li Shifeng lost position in front of the net, Lakshya pulled back a game 21-8. The big score chased to 1-1, and the two sides returned to the same running line again.
From a quick victory of 21-13 in the first game to an 8-21 rout in the second game, Li Shifeng did not have many ways to face the speed impact of Lakshya, especially after Li Shifeng's physical fitness declined, and the defensive area also faced a large area of decline, and was often easily killed by the opponent.
In the deciding game, Lakshya continued the momentum of the second game, and after continuous transfers at the beginning, he penetrated Li Shifeng's backcourt and led 7-4, unwilling to fail, Li Shifeng accelerated and chased the score to 8-9, but Lakshya then scored two points in a row and entered a technical timeout with an 11-8 lead. After the pause came back, Li Shifeng scored consecutive smashes and tied the score 11-11, but at the critical moment, Lakshya played a 5-1 shock wave, 16-12 to open the score gap, Li Shifeng caused Lakshya to return the ball out of bounds after continuous mobilization, and it was difficult to get back a point, as Li Shifeng returned the ball out of bounds, Lakshya got the match point 20-13 and won the tiebreaker 21-14.
With Li Shifeng's 1-2 loss to Lakshya, the national feather men's team also regretted its first loss, leading the defending champion India team 2-1. The next match will be Ho Jiting/Ren Xiangyu against Kapila/Prantic, and it will be interesting to see if any combination can help Guoyu eliminate India!#头条创作挑战赛#
