Beijing time, July 13 news, at present, the first round of the WTT European Summer Series - Star Challenge is in full swing. As the "second half" of the first season of the new cycle in Paris, players from various associations have attached great importance to it. The same is true for the national table tennis team. Ma Long , Chen Meng , Lin Gaoyuan , Wang Manyu , Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha and other major national table tennis players all went out to meet the long-lost test of foreign wars. Now on the third match day, many people in the national table tennis team have achieved good results in singles. After 03's main force Xiang Peng 3-1 challenged the Korean table tennis player Lee Sang-soo , the national table tennis men's team also performed well. With strong performance, blasted 11-1 to win the game at the speed of light!
In this national table tennis team, except for the veteran of the Dragon Team in the men's team, the rest of the Mesozoic and New Generation players can be regarded as potential targets for key training in the new cycle of Paris. Among them, Liang Jingkun received a bye and directly advanced to the top 32 due to his higher world ranking. Lin Gaoyuan, who was at the same time as Big Fat , had dropped to 20th in the world ranking of . had to participate in the first round of competition with young juniors Yuan Lizen and Xiang Peng. For Lin Gaoyuan, his current situation is relatively dangerous. It can be said to be a dilemma of "attacking from both sides", so he must show his performance and seize the last "straw". So under this background, Lin Gaoyuan started the Star Challenge journey under the watchful eye of coach Qin Zhijian.
In the first round, Lin Gaoyuan’s opponent was the host player Nandor. Due to the large difference in paper strength between the two sides, many fans were optimistic about the final victory of this national table tennis men's team player before the game. At the beginning of the game, it showed a one-sided situation: Facing Lin Gaoyuan's attack, the opponent obviously did not have a better defensive strategy. Coupled with frequent mistakes in the stage, Lin Gaoyuan did not encounter too much pressure from his opponent. Big resistance, 11-5 in the first game. In the second game, Lin Gaoyuan continued to play steadily and strengthened his control. The opponent was very uncomfortable and it was difficult to gain the upper hand in a stalemate with multiple boards. But Lin Gaoyuan did not choose to play 11-0, but took the initiative to give up points and save face for his opponents. This approach also won praise from outside fans: Yuanzi has good emotional intelligence!
In the third game, the opponent stepped up the fight in an attempt to counterattack, and at the same time improved the quality of the return. This really had a certain impact on Lin Gaoyuan, but Lin Gaoyuan was experienced and calmly responded to every challenge, and finally won 11-7. This game was won 3-0 (11-5, 11-1, 11-7). It is worth mentioning that Lin Gaoyuan's game took 14 minutes and 20 seconds, which can be said to be a victory at the speed of light. A camera captured the look of coach Qin Zhijian behind him. Coach Qin was relatively calm. Obviously, he had expected such a result. At this point, Lin Gaoyuan ended his first show. When interviewed by the media after the game, he gave his own evaluation.
Lin Gaoyuan said that the whole game was relatively easy and the preparations before the game were sufficient. Facing his opponent Qiu Dang in the next round, Lin Gaoyuan said bluntly that he (referring to Qiu Dang) had a very anxious battle with Liang Jingkun, so it would be difficult for him and he would be well prepared to deal with it. I hope Lin Gaoyuan can continue his efforts and use his results to gain opportunities for advancement. Come on!
