I really don't want to blame or scold Lin Gaoyuan.
Because he is our compatriot, a brother.
Forget about this bad game and start all over again.
I really don't want to blame or scold Lin Gaoyuan, and I don't want to associate this day with this game.
However, in the face of such a process and results, it is really unbelievable at the first time, or I really can't figure it out.
Why did Lin Gaoyuan defeat Tomokazu Zhang 4-0 in the Macau World Cup on April 20, and hit an 11-1 high score in the fourth game! That is to kill people and punish the heart, and completely collapse Zhang Benzhihe!
It's just that in just 78 days, Lin Gaoyuan was repaid 4-0 by Zhang Benzhihe in Bangkok.
Let's take a look back at two more games.
The first game: 3-11, Lin Gaoyuan only scored 3 points, on April 20, Lin Gaoyuan 11-9 in the first game;
Second game: 8-11, Lin Gaoyuan scored 8 points, April 20, Lin Gaoyuan 11-6 in the second game;
The third game: 6-11, Lin Gaoyuan scored 6 points, and on April 20, Lin Gaoyuan scored 11-6 in the third game
Fourth game: 9-11, Lin Gaoyuan scored 9 points, April 20, Lin Gaoyuan 11-1 in the fourth game
The gap is really too big!
In the fourth game, Lin Gaoyuan changed a serve that almost everyone had never seen before: a sideways backhand serve.
I was stunned at the time, Lin Gaoyuan, what are you doing? Are you learning Brother Long?
Ma Long fell behind 0-3 in the Macau World Cup final, and started to use this serve in the fourth game and then won four games in a row.
Lin Gaoyuan, do you mean the same thing?
Tomokazu Zhang was indeed bluffed by this serve, and he was not comfortable for a while. In the first two service rounds, Lin Gaoyuan scored three points.
The ball was not too spinning, nor was it so fast or topped, and it felt like Lin Gaoyuan was trying to disrupt the opponent with rhythm. With this serve, Lin Gaoyuan took a 4-2 lead. Zhang Benzhihe used the service round to score two points, of which the second serve rushed to score directly, and Lin Gaoyuan was still a little bored.
In the fourth game, Lin Gaoyuan used this serve, first from slow, no turn, to topspin acceleration, etc., and the idea is still there.
But to be honest, I feel that this serve and quality are really incomparable to the quality of Ma Long. Lin Gaoyuan's whole body felt a little hard, his movements were a little ugly, and the quality was average, and I felt like I was going to get goosebumps at that time.
Tomokazu Zhang was indeed fierce today, and after adapting to this serve, he still had the upper hand at the end, and Lin Gaoyuan was unable to return to the sky in the end, 9-11, losing the whole game.
0-4！
Zhang Benzhihe raised his hands and stretched out three fingers each, which means that he won six championships in two back-to-back stations.
To be honest, this moment is really heart-wrenching and speechless.
Why is this happening?
Let's analyze it from the following aspects:
1, Lin Gaoyuan came directly from Chengdu. In Chengdu, Lin Gaoyuan is a sparring player, maybe his game state and desire are really not so strong.
2. This time in Bangkok, it is impossible for the national table tennis to send the highest level of coaches and related support personnel because of the preparation for the Olympics.
Zhang Chao was only seconded to prepare for Paris, because it was the head coach of the Guangdong men's team who naturally accompanied Lin Gaoyuan to compete. Coming to the international arena, Zhang Chao was not able to adjust Lin Gaoyuan's state to the best like in the table tennis super, and he felt that he had not done a lot of homework in this final.
Or: The national table tennis coaching staff doesn't pay enough attention to this event, thinking that it is enough to send last year's defending champion, which is very powerful, and the main force can't go anyway. In this match, Zhang Benzhihe defeated Lin, and Lin Gaoyuan at least did not achieve the goal of suppressing Zhang Benzhihe in front of Paris.
I think the national table tennis coaching staff also has to take some responsibility.
3, Zhang Benzhihe has been crazy for points and world rankings during this time, and he is completely trained by competition, and he is familiar with his hands and is in good condition. The Mixed Doubles has won four consecutive tournaments and has managed to squeeze out the Koreans to become second seeds, thus avoiding the Chinese pairs, and this goal has been achieved. Individual rankings have also been further improved.
On July 7, with the conclusion of the WTT Bangkok Star Challenge, the mixed doubles seeding rankings for the Paris Olympics were decided
No. 1 seeds: Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha
Second seeds: Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata
Third seeds: Lim Joong-hoon/Shin Ok-bin
Fourth seeds: Wong Chun Ting/To Hoi Kim
The first seed automatically enters the top half
The second seed automatically moves into the bottom half
The third and fourth seeds were drawn to enter the upper and lower halves respectively
Another point is that Tomokazu Zhang has adjusted his condition to the best through these stops.
4, Zhang Benzhihe is going to participate in the Olympic triathlon, while Lin Gaoyuan is the sparring partner of China's main force, not even a P card, and his heart is different. Maybe I'm not right, I shouldn't say that, it's just that Lin Gaoyuan was not in good shape in today's final.
The Japanese men's and women's teams won all the championships in Bangkok.
Men's Singles: Tomokazu Zhangmoto
Women's Singles: Mimato Ito
Mixed Doubles: Tomokazu Haramoto/Hina Hayata
Men's Doubles: Tomokazu Haramoto/Teruku Matsushima
Women's twins: Hitomi Sato / Honoka Masumoto
Finally, I want to say: there are winners and losers in the arena, if you are not in good shape, if you are not ready, if you do not play well on the spot, if you do give your best, if you lose, it doesn't matter, we can't afford to lose.
