The name Benjamin is still well-known at this Asian Table Tennis Championships.
This player is from Iran, only 14 years old, just a teenager, the world ranking is reported to be outside the two hundred, should be unknown, but in the Iran men's team against the national table tennis men's team, Benjamin defeated Wang Chuqin 3:2 for the first time, that is, this battle, made Benjamin famous.
I thought it was just Benjamin's sudden state outburst, which was short-lived.
However, in the men's singles round of 32 at the Asian Championships, Benjamin once again showed his talent.
14-year-old Benjamin challenged Lin Shidong, the new first-line main player of national table tennis.
Lin Shidong's fierceness is obvious to all. But Benjamin gave Lin Shidong a dismount at the beginning.
In the first game, Benjamin was in a wonderful state and started a tug-of-war with Lin Shidong, and finally Lin Shidong lost the first game 11:13.
In the second game, Benjamin's performance was still remarkable, facing Lin Shidong, he did not fall behind, and finally won the second game 11:9, leading Lin Shidong 2:0.
At this time, Lin Shidong fell into passivity. After all, the best-of-five system, Benjamin's tiebreaker was Lin Shidong's life and death game.
However, Lin Shidong showed his ability to turn the tables in adversity in the Macau and Beijing Grand Slam tournaments, and in the third game, Lin Shidong was full of firepower and directly won 11:3 quickly and pulled back a game.
In the fourth game, Lin Shidong continued to output firepower, and then another 11:3 and the next game, chasing two games in a row to equalize the score.
At the end of the four games, the two sides returned to the same running line and entered the fifth game of the decisive game, which was decided to be won or lost.
Although Lin Shidong played very smoothly in the third and fourth games, in the fifth game, he encountered Benjamin's stubborn resistance, and the two sides started a tug-of-war, and the score once developed in the direction of the badminton score.
To be honest, in the fifth game, the fans were sweating for Lin Shidong, and they were worried that Benjamin would defeat the national table tennis player again as a dark horse. Fortunately, Lin Shidong is also a player with a big heart, under this pressure, he did not panic, and finally won the fifth game with a score of 17:15, and reversed Benjamin with a big score of 3:2.
In the fifth game, the two sides contributed a total of 32 points, and this tug-of-war made people both enjoyable and frightening.
In this game, Benjamin was still honored, his name began to be remembered by more people, and now he is only 14 years old, and if he grows up according to this trend, he may be one of the strongest competitors of the national table tennis men's team in the future.
Lin Shidong once again proved himself with practical actions and proved that he can be reliable at any time.
Unconsciously, Lin Shidong has also become one of the core and main forces of the national table tennis men's team, just imagine, if the Asian Championships did not have him, in the absence of Ma Long and Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin alone with Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan, can he defend the honor and dignity of the national table tennis team? I'm afraid it's a lot of difficulty!
Lin Shidong really belongs to that kind of person, the coaching staff gave him an opportunity, and he quickly seized it. After the Paris Olympics, he won the men's singles championship in Almaty, WTT Macau Championships, and WTT Beijing Grand Slam events.
