Asian Games Men’s Table Tennis Challenging for the Gold Medal in the 8th Round of 7 Matches… “If We go to the Finals, No one will Know”

“We now win once every year or two.”

The Korean men’s table tennis team is moving steadily forward toward the seemingly impossible goal of “overcoming China” at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

Chinese table tennis has shown its strongest performance at the Asian Games.

China swept 66 of the 103 gold medals in table tennis until the last tournament. **[바카라사이트](https://www.casinositewiki.com)**

In particular, China is winning the men's team event for the seventh time in a row.

In this competition too, China is ranked zero as a candidate for the championship.

It seems very difficult to find a gap in the Chinese national team's line-up between Ma Long, who is considered the 'table tennis GOAT' (the best player of all time), and world number one Pan Zhendong.

However, the potential of Korean men's table tennis is also formidable.

Korea has achieved the second best results after China in the men's team event at the Asian Games.

He won two consecutive championships in Seoul in 1986 and Beijing in 1990, and has never missed a game since then, reaching the finals and winning silver medals in both competitions.

We always lost to China in the finals.

In this tournament, the men's national team literally challenges '8 out of 7'.

Men's national team coach [Joo Se-hyuk](https://click4r.com/posts/g/12344710/) said, "This time, we have tried to aim for a higher level."

It is a bold goal to win the gold medal at home in China.

The players’ will is also full.

After winning the first match against Macau in the group stage at the Archer Canal Sports Park Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China on the 22nd, the players who came out to the common coverage area (mixed zone) said, "Once we get to the finals, no one will know what happens next," with twinkling eyes.

Lim Jong-hoon (Korea Exchange) said, “Although it only happens once every year or two, we have gone ‘crazy’ and defeated a Chinese player. It is

time for that day to come.

I hope so.”

He continued, "The biggest goal is to get over China, but first of all, getting to the final stage is the most important thing.

After that, you just have to go crazy."

Jang Woo-jin also said, “I am now very familiar with the Chinese national team players.

I have expectations that I will be able to get over it at least once this time.”

It is not unfounded confidence.

Woojin Jang is ahead of [Jingkun Liang](https://bn3.cari.com.my/home.php?mod=space&uid=2570071&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=477487) (China) with 3 wins and 1 loss in his previous record, including when he was a junior.

Just looking at their record on the adult stage, they are favorable with 1 win and 1 loss.

Lim Jong-hoon has a record of 1 win and 1 loss against Wang Chu-qin, who is considered China's next-generation ace.

In their most recent match, last year's Asian Cup singles quarterfinals, they won 4-3.

There are not many table tennis players who have shown that they can crack the 'Great Wall of China' if they hit it with all their might.

Lim Jong-hoon and Jang Woo-jin are players who have tried it.

On this day, the first round of the men's team preliminaries began at 1 pm (Korean time) at eight tables.

The first match of the group stage usually ends early as teams with a large difference in power often face each other.

On this day, seven games ended in less than an hour.

However, the China-Vietnam match on table 3 lasted for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

This is because China's Liang Jingkun, who competed in the third singles, struggled against Vietnam's [Doan Van Tuan](https://cirandas.net/casinositewiki/blog/asian-games-jeong-ji-seok-avc-bronze-medal-from-hangzhou).

Doan achieved a comeback with the game score 2-1, and the attention of Chinese table tennis fans and reporters who filled the 6,000 spectators focused on table number 3.

But there was no surprise.

Even in times of crisis, Liang Jingkun did not waver.

He took the last two sets with a calm expression and won 3-2.
