Today's Table Tennis Super League staged a wonderful showdown, with Shantou Mingrun led by Fan Zhendong beating Huangshi Base 3-2. The most exciting battle of this game is the fifth set, Fan Zhendong said that 0-2 behind the situation to stage a big reversal, he defeated Xiang Peng 3-2, thus directly leading the team to victory, the process of the game can be described as a twist and turn, thrilling to describe.
In the first two sets, Fan Zhendong quickly fell into a desperate situation, Xiang Peng used 15-13 and 11-6, the total score has been 2-0 ahead of Fan Zhendong, and then as long as he wins another set, he can directly lead the team to victory;
In the third and fourth sets, Fan Zhendong won 11-6 and 11-7, and the total score was 2-2;
In the decider, Xiang Peng quickly established a 10-5 lead, got 5 match points, and it can be said that victory is in sight.
However, Fan Zhendong did not give up, he scored consecutive points, saved 5 match points, scored 7 consecutive points, and directly won 12-10, with a total score of 3-2 to achieve a good turnaround.
This is the performance of Fan Zhendong in a desperate situation, from 0-2 behind + save 5 match points to reverse, directly defeat the opponent, but also lead the team to victory. After the game, Fan Zhendong talked about his situation of being won 5 match points by his opponent after falling behind 5-10, he said that he was dying and struggling, and he had been gritting his teeth and insisting, and the spirit of Mingrun was to die and not give up.
This battle is also reminiscent of Liu Guozheng, who also had a similar super reversal and achieved a classic in the world table tennis arena. It was the semi-final of the men's team at the 2001 Osaka World Table Tennis Championships, the final set of the China-South Korea showdown, and Liu Guozheng played Against Kim Taek-so. In this game, Liu Guozheng played for a long time for 7 match points, and strongly overturned the arrogant Kim Taek-so at that time, becoming the best game of table tennis in the hearts of countless people.
This time to the table tennis super arena, Fan Zhendong has been defeated by Wang Chuqin, there is also a haze of team loss, giving people the feeling that after the National Games, Fan Zhendong's state has obvious ups and downs. But at the critical moment, Fan Zhendong still showed his resilience and the spirit of "not giving up", 0-2 backward + save 5 match points to reverse, this game to defeat Xiang Peng is the best proof, Fan Zhendong performed strongly, and gradually found the domineering spirit of winning double gold at the National Games.
I also look forward to the next performance of Fan Zhendong, although he has qualified for the World Table Tennis Championships in advance, but the table tennis super is different after all, fighting on behalf of the club. As the future successor of Ma Long and the absolute leader of national table tennis, Fan Zhendong has such strength and heart, and hopes that he can lead the team to good luck in the future.
