The 2023 Table Tennis Super League is in full swing, and on the afternoon of December 23, Beijing time, a key showdown was ushered in, and the two main forces of national table tennis - Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan ushered in the men's singles duel after the men's doubles match, and Lin Gaoyuan, who defeated Wang Chuqin 3-0 before, lost 0-3 this time
It is worth mentioning that Lin Gaoyuan had an injury before the start of this game, but he still insisted on playing, although he failed to win, but this spirit is also worthy of our affirmation: congratulations to Wang Chuqin for his victory, and also send applause to Lin Gaoyuan!
See below for a detailed breakdown of the battle.
This year, the Shandong Weiqiao team of the Table Tennis Super League played bravely and won the first place in the first stage and was the favorite to win the championship. Relatively speaking, Shantou Mingrun's strength is obviously weaker, although Lin Gaoyuan, like Wang Chuqin, has shouldered the heavy responsibility of men's doubles and men's singles, but the latter still has Liang Jingkun and others to help him, while the strength of Lin Gaoyuan's other teammates is relatively much worse.
In the men's doubles match, Wang Chuqin and his partner Zhou Qihao lost 0-3 to Lin Gaoyuan and Xu Haidong, but then Liang Jingkun defeated Matt 3-0, and the two teams returned to the same running line, and the singles in the third set was crucial.
However, before the game started, Lin Gaoyuan had an injury just after a few balls of practice, and had to pause for adjustments, and the team doctor quickly came up to wrap a medical bandage on his left hand, which made many fans feel distressed.
After returning to the field, Lin Gaoyuan quickly got into the groove and took the lead when he came up. However, with his current physical condition, he can only fight to start the game, and it will definitely be unfavorable to drag it to the back, but Wang Chuqin's reaction is also very fast, and he quickly achieved a reversal, and then continued to suppress Lin Gaoyuan's success, and finally won the first place 11-6.
In the second game, the competition between the two sides was still very fierce, although Wang Chuqin continued to occupy the advantage, but the score difference was still not open, but Lin Gaoyuan was the lagging side after all, and called a timeout at 8-9 to adjust, but unfortunately in the end he still failed to get the best opportunity, and was won by the other party 11-8, and the big score was forced into a desperate situation after falling behind 0-2.
In the third game, Lin Gaoyuan had no way out, but he was already weak, and he was injured at this time, although he once bit the score, but in the second half of the game he was defeated, and finally lost the whole game 5-11, missing the second point.
