However, if you can hold the direct ticket to participate in the competition, for Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin, the confidence improvement will be of great help. Judging from the competitions of the National Games and the Table Tennis Super League, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin have made great improvements in their personal technical and tactical capabilities, on-the-spot tactical adjustments, and mentality changes. So whether it's tonight's semi-finals or tomorrow's men's team finals, it will be the ultimate test for the two young players.
