This year, from the Busan World Table Tennis Championships, to the Macau World Cup, and even this Saudi Arabia Grand Slam match, when the score came to 4-6, Fan Zhendong seemed to be a disadvantage, but it could be transformed into an offensive situation in an instant.
Then when Chubby was 9-8, he served and attacked! - The textbook version of the table tennis attack firepower, the first three boards are so good! Such an attack is simple to the extreme, and smooth to the extreme. As a table tennis teacher, teaching students how to serve and attack, you can watch this video of Xiaopang, clearly, clearly!

That's strength! ——Fan Zhendong, who has won the Paris Olympics and qualified for the men's singles of Chinese table tennis, is gradually getting better, and is adjusting step by step towards the good rhythm of the Olympic Games! Tonight's Ahn Jae-hyun is one of his warm-up targets.
11-4！ Chubby wins the second game!
In the third game, Fan Zhendong's start was still perfect: 4-1! A small score of 5-2 widened the score gap. Ahn Jae-hyun was trying to fight back and try to fight back, but they were all resolved by Fan Zhendong one by one, 11-4, and then the next city. Chubby easily advanced 3-0.
