competition is getting more and more intense, come on, the Chinese team!
Lin Yunru was born in 2001 and Boer was born in 1981. He is a 20-year-old athlete in a completely different era. Although they are both left-handed horizontal players, the styles of these two athletes are quite different. Lin Yunru is good at making a big move and winning with speed. Boer likes stalemate and positional battles, with rotation as his main advantage.
If Lin Yunru can fight slowly in this battle, Boer will be very uncomfortable; but on the other hand, if Boer can control the rotation to the familiar routine, Lin Yunru will also be difficult to break the defense, and his power is greater than Lin Yunru, which is also his advantage. After the start of the game, both sides really played hard to solve in the first game. The routines they used to deal with right-handed athletes were not good, so they could only forcefully fight head-on. After several matches, the experienced Boer won the key points and then successfully took the lead with 11-9. He seemed very proactive on the court and was not as energetic as the young people.
The two of them played hard to solve the problem in the second game, and the score continued to draw. Lin Yunju fell behind for a while but seized the opportunity and finally tied the big score with a narrow victory 14-12. Both sides returned to the same starting line, which was indeed evenly matched!
The two were still against the top in the third game, and the score difference was delayed, and it was the critical moment of determining the outcome of 2 points. As a result, Lin Yunru seized the opportunity again and successfully fought back and won 11-9. The big score also turned into a 2-1 reversal. Boer was forced into a desperate situation and lost another game and was about to finish. Moreover, the longer the game, the more unfavorable it was for the veteran.
In the fourth game, Boer fought back and suppressed Lin Yunru and succeeded in dragging the game into the final game 11-7. However, in the fifth game, Boer lost points continuously, and lost all the game 6-11, and Lin Yunru got the last ticket to advance.
