On September 14, in the men's singles semifinals of the 2024 World Table Tennis Professional League (WTT) Macau Championships, Chinese player Lin Shidong defeated teammate Wang Chuqin 4-1 and advanced to the final.
After the game, in response to the remarks of some netizens about "handicaping" and "match-fixing", Xu Xin refuted it in the live broadcast: "This is scolded by both sides. As long as your favorite player doesn't win, is it match-fixing? That's not true. ”

Xu Xin also said that Wang Chuqin's competitive state has not been adjusted to the best, and Lin Shidong also knows this, so he did not celebrate after winning the game, but shook hands modestly.
In addition, Xu Xin also mentioned: "It's not easy for the big head to play this game, and the main forces are resting." The other two teammates in Paris are resting after the game, and he is still playing. He also wants to get back into form as soon as possible and prepare for the future. It's not easy to come to the game. ”
Lin Shidong: I didn't expect that the winning brother may not have been training so systematically recently
After the game, Lin Shidong was interviewed.
Lin Shidong: "I still didn't expect to win today, and then I still went to this game today, but I still went to fight for the first brother." Against Qiu Dang, it is better to do a good job of yourself, and then go all out to fight for him, and prepare for some of his characteristics. ”
"Actually, today's game maybe, in fact, everyone can see it, the head brother may not have been so systematic in training recently, maybe today plus he just finished the game recently, and the state is indeed good, I am very happy to win this game."
"The good part of the performance is to focus, to focus on every ball, but not to care too much about the score. Whether it's winning the first two games, or losing the third game, or thinking about 1 point and 1 point, let's play and then play to the end. ”
"The problem with the third game? Actually, it's normal, it's impossible to let me play all the good balls, and then he may actually have some changes in the third game that is the serve, take the backhand serve, maybe it doesn't get so adapted, and in the end it actually doesn't adapt, but in the end it may rely on some, and the last three are the last three, and the last two go to spin. ”
