Recently, the main members of the Chinese table tennis team have basically been engaged in intense training for the Paris Olympic Games, and the Chinese main force can rarely be seen in international competitions in recent times. This time, in the Bangkok Star Challenge in Thailand, Lin Gaoyuan came alone to participate in this tournament and entered the final.
Since Lin Gaoyuan has no task in this Paris Olympics, there is no pressure to play in men's singles, men's team, and mixed doubles, so he does not occupy the resources of the national team, and the coaches and team doctors around him are all from the Guangdong team.
Lin Gaoyuan faced an opponent in the final against Tomokazu Zhangmoto. As one of the main opponents of the Chinese men's team, Zhang Benzhihe has been studied and valued by the national table tennis coaching staff, the last time the two met was in this year's Macau World Cup, Lin Gaoyuan swept Zhang Benzhihe 4-0 to advance to the final, but this time in Bangkok, the whole situation was completely reversed.
In the first game, Lin Gaoyuan made frequent mistakes, and even his best speed was at a disadvantage, and he lost the first game 3-11. In the first half of the second game, the two sides were evenly matched, but in the second half of the game, Tomokazu Zhang was more daring to start and add quality, and won the second game 11-8. In the third and fourth games, Lin Gaoyuan always had difficulty controlling the initiative of the game, and his best sharp backhand was targeted, making it difficult to compete with Zhang Benzhihe, and in the end, he lost the finals 0-4.
Although the Paris Olympics are approaching, this game has not received much attention, but Zhang Benzhihe must have entered the best condition, otherwise how could he sweep Lin Gaoyuan, one of the five main forces of the Chinese team?
Next, the coaching staff still needs to conduct targeted research on Zhang Benzhihe in order to ensure that the gold medal is not lost.
