In this Asian Championships, the national table tennis team sent two mixed doubles pairs to participate in the mixed doubles event are Lin Shidong/Kuo Man, Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Yidi, of which Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Yidi lost 1-3 to the mixed doubles top seed and Korea pair Lin Zhongxun/Shin Yubin in the mixed doubles 1/4 finals, and missed the mixed doubles semifinals.

North Korea's mixed doubles pair Lee Jung-sik/Kim Jin-young won the mixed doubles silver medal at the Paris Olympics and lost 2-4 to the national table tennis ace pair Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha in the final.
In the first mixed doubles semi-final, the North Korean pair faced the top seeds of the mixed doubles of the tournament, the Korea pair Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yubin, won three games in a row after falling behind 0-2, staged a good show of letting the two chase three, knocking out the top seeds of the mixed doubles and advancing to the mixed doubles final.
North Korea's other mixed doubles pair, Xian Yu Cheng / Bian Songjing, also advanced to the mixed doubles semifinals, the North Korean team will either not participate, if they participate in the competition, they will be strong, the following brings Xian Yu Cheng / Bian Songjing and the national table tennis combination Lin Shidong / Kuo Man The details of the mixed doubles semifinals.
In the first game, Xian Yucheng/Bian Songjing took the lead 2-0, Lin Shidong/Kuo Man chased to a 2-2 draw, and then the North Korean combination scored 2 points in a row, and after Lin Shi/Kuo Man chased to 4-6 in the middle section, Xian Yucheng/Bian Songjing scored 5 points in a strong row, 11-4 took the lead.
Judging from the first game, the anime combination did not play its due strength, and there were too many unnecessary mistakes, which may be related to Lin Shidong just finished participating in the singles competition, more than an hour before the mixed doubles semifinals, Lin Shidong and Iran's 14-year-old Faraj men's singles 1/32 final battle 5 sets, Lin Shidong once fell behind 1-7, 3-9 in the deciding game, and finally saved 2 match points to win the opponent with a super high score of 17-15, I have to say that this game consumed a lot of physical strength of Lin Shidong.
Let's go back to the mixed doubles semifinals of Lin Shidong/Kuo Man against the North Korean combination Xian Yu Cheng / Bian Songjing, in the second game, the two sides fought to a 2-2 draw, Lin Shidong / Kuo Man scored 3 points in a row, and then the North Korean combination scored 1 point, Dong Man scored 3 points in a strong row, 8-3 opened the difference to 5 points, in the middle and late stages, the North Korean combination chased the score to 6-9, Dong Man combination 10-6 got 4 game points in the second game, Xian Yucheng / Bian Songjing saved 1 game point, Lin Shidong / Kuo Man still won the second game 11-7, Chase the big score to a 1-1 draw.
