On October 14, Beijing time, the national table tennis played the worst Asian Championships in history, and in the last men's singles matchup, Lin Shidong's 1-3 loss to Tomokazu Zhang was also regrettable.
Because if he can win the championship, then with this men's singles gold medal, the Chinese team can win three gold medals, surpassing the Japan team with two gold medals in first place. But now that Japan has won the championship and China only has a silver medal, then the final medal table has reversed, Japan's three gold medals have returned to the first position, and China's national table tennis has only two gold medals.
So Lin Shidong really looked very guilty, and at the same time he was very envious of Tomokazu Zhangmoto's men's singles championship, and a scene appeared at the award ceremony, which was meaningful. At that time, after the game, it could be seen that when the two sides walked on the podium, Zhang Benzhihe raised his hands frantically in celebration, and then the awarding staff hung the gold medal around his neck, and at this time, Lin Shidong had been secretly looking at Zhang Benzhihe with the corner of his eye, peeking at his gold medal, and his eyes were full of envy.
Peek at the gold medal
Lin Shidong's eyes were perfectly captured and restored by the camera, we can find that he wants this gold medal too much, if he can win the men's singles championship, it means that Lin Shidong has completed the super feat of four consecutive men's singles championships after the Olympics. From the regular challenge to the Macau Championship Beijing Grand Slam, if he wins the Asian Championships again this time, he will be a well-deserved national table tennis ace leader.
But I never expected that this time Lin Shidong lost the championship, of course, he should not be criticized in this Asian Championships, after all, all the national table tennis gold medals are related to him, and the mixed doubles is even more vigorous, but Lin Shidong's eyes still make people feel worried, and it is also something that the coaching staff needs to reflect.
A young man who worked so hard wanted this championship so much, but he didn't get it. He also worked hard in this competition, why didn't he win the championship? The most important thing is that if he hadn't been allowed to play 4 events a day, he might have to play 7 matches at most (schedule 12), and of course, in the end, he only played 5 matches due to the men's doubles out, if it weren't for the decline in his fitness caused by so many matches, would he have lost to Tomokazu Zhangmoto? Is it going to win? He didn't give full play to his strength at all, and who didn't feel bad about losing the game in this aggrieved way?
