FULL MATCH _ Lin Shidong vs Sun Wen _ MS R32 _ 2025 China National Games

In the last few days, we've seen a lot of singles and mixed doubles matches. There were a lot of matches that ended in a draw. So it reflects the characteristics of the National Games. Yes. Actually, after coming to the National Games, first of all, every opponent is not easy to deal with. They are all competitive. Yes. One is very knowledgeable. The second is that he has very strong technical skills. The National Games is not as stressful as the Olympics. But the technical difficulty is definitely not as high as the Olympics. Yes. In fact, it is really more comprehensive in terms of technical skills and the ability to resist pressure. That's right. We see that Chen Qi is the coach of Sun Wen in this match. Li Meng is the coach of Lin Shidong in the Hainan team. And the singles matches of the National Games start with a 7-4 win in the first round. In fact, many fans have seen the WTTC matches a lot in the past two years. They wonder why the match starts with a 7-4 win. In fact, this is a tradition. For a long time, the match started with a 7-4 win in the first round. And now we see that the WTTC matches are already in the final stage. The preliminary round will be held before the official opening of the WTTC. The preliminary round will be held about half a year before the official opening of the WTTC. Yes. So all the contestants have experienced a wave of competition so far. Yes. A wave of selection. Yes. Based on the technical characteristics of both sides, I think there will be more long-distance matches today. Yes. There will be more long-distance matches. That's right. But I think both of their preliminary rounds have their own characteristics. For Lin Shidong, his preliminary round has been a sharp attack since his debut. Yes. Sun Wen's initiative from the serve to the receive is also very threatening. Yes. So it's not only a competition in the preliminary round, but also a confrontation in the long-distance match. That's right. Sun Wen's pressure is stronger. And Lin Shidong's suddenness is more obvious. The direct threat and pressure are both very strong. Yes. Both sides have also experienced a short warm-up. The match will start soon. Lin Shidong is the first to serve in the first round. Both of their serves are very fast. Yes. The first serve is a high-quality serve, including a drop shot. Yes. It seems that Sun Wen's initiative from the serve to the receive is also very active. Both of their serves are very aggressive. Yes. Because they are too familiar with each other. They didn't get used to each other. Yes. It's like training. So Sun Wen guessed and calculated the drop shot of Lin Shidong's serve very accurately. Yes. In the preliminary round, especially if both players are in the state of the national team, this kind of test of each other may be omitted. Yes. Sun Wen is also well-prepared. Two long serves. Yes. The drop shot is also more targeted. Yes. There is a backhand and a middle. Yes. Let's look at Lin Shidong's serve. It's also a long serve. Everyone knows what the opponent wants to do. As soon as you make a move, there is a sudden change. Yes. Both of their serves are more threatening. So the serve is to limit the opponent's serve. The quality and effect of both players' serves are good. There is a long serve, a side-line serve, and a direct serve. Yes. The first set of the game is very important for both players to get into the state of the national team. Yes. Sun Wen's current strategy is to use the long serve as the main force and the short serve as a kind of coordination. Then, by using the long serve, he can create an opportunity to counter-pull. This is a continuous attack to pull Lin Shidong's backhand. Sun Wen's power is not particularly strong, but his backhand rotation is relatively strong. Yes. And the continuity is very good. It's also a long serve. In the first set, Sun Wen caught up with both short serves. For Lin Shidong, the backhand is a long serve. Yes. And Lin Shidong's sense of rhythm is definitely more clear than Sun Wen. And the change of the landing point of these serves is very fast. This can also show Lin Shidong's experience in the game now. Yes. His ability to read the game is very fast. Backhand pull. It's more consistent with our predictions before the game. There will be more and more of these balls. Yes. And after the opening, Sun Wen actually has more control of the middle position. I feel that Lin Shidong is now consciously protecting his middle position. Yes, he is prepared. Indeed, Lin Shidong's power in the backhand line is a little higher than Sun Wen's. If it's a complete military confrontation, the two people are almost the same. Yes. But Lin Shidong's backhand still has power. Power. Not only speed, but also power. Yes. And his power will have some sudden movements in the first three sets and the box. This is also a strong shot in the 6th set. Yes. In fact, it's all a set. After the serve, the opponent will turn around and how should I return? How should I grab after returning? Yes. Beautiful. Good shot. Lin Shidong must have the backhand pull of this set of backhand mid-range. Yes. And there must be a shot. This ball is actually outside the body position. And Sun Wen pulled the opposite side when the quality was added. This ball is generally pulled. Pulling other athletes may score. But this ball, you want to pull through. Lin Shidong, a ball that has left so many positions in the body position, may not be able to score. The serve is also around the middle of Lin Shidong. In fact, both serves are now based on the rotation. Yes. Only then dare to easily serve up. Because as long as who gets up first, who will be more advantageous. Because who is playing on the court, who takes the initiative first. Take the initiative to serve up first. 11-6. Lin Shidong won the first set of the game. In the first set, both of them were good at serving up. In fact, the opening of the game was almost the same. After coming to the middle of the game, Lin Shidong may have more changes than Sun Wen. Yes. And there is also the quality of the initiative. In addition to serving up, he also took the initiative to serve up. At the same time, he also protected his middle position. In fact, this is the ability of the two sides to read the opponent's play. It depends on who is faster and more sensitive. And in terms of tactics and overall performance, Lin Shidong also played a few more aggressive balls at the end of the game. Yes. This kind of strong rotation. It also supported Sun Wen's several consecutive attacks. OK. Let's pay attention to the second set of the game. Still serve up to the middle. It's really hard for Sun Wen to find a chance to serve up when he serves short. So it's more direct and simple to play. Yes. Once Lin Shidong controls the ball, Sun Wen is more passive. The chance is to attack with high quality. So there is still a lot of pressure when Lin Shidong intercepts the ball. Yes. Nice. Sun Wen is now also serving from the middle through the line to mobilize Lin Shidong. In the first set, Sun Wen had a lot of backhand straight drives. In fact, it also produced a very good effect. Yes. In fact, there is still a good preparation in the first set. Change the line. It seems that after the second set, the two of them are more in the backhand position. In fact, Sun Wen is still a little passive in this line confrontation. A little downwind. So he still wants to find a chance through the change of the line. He dare not respond to the backhand. So far, Lin Shidong is still very good at protecting the right side of his forehand. Yes. He is very conscious. He is waiting for Sun Wen to change the line. I play this line. Then give you a backhand straight line. And the forehand is not particularly high quality now. I hold it first. Yes. Then draw back the backhand. Draw back the speed and drop point. Yes. In such a high-speed confrontation, if you continue to attack with force, you will definitely lose your speed. Yes. After these two boxes were hit, Sun Wen was a little confused. It's a little bit like the first set. The opening is more military. Then maybe after a few detailed balls, pull apart. Pull apart. Beautiful. Wonderful. So beautiful. In fact, Sun Wen has always wanted to further speed up this ball. It's true that Lin Shidong's ability in the midfield is very strong. Yes. In fact, Sun Wen's backhand attack is also very threatening. Yes. It's true that Lin Shidong's forehand is not only strong in the backhand position, but also very accurate in the forehand position. Yes. In the middle. You see. This strategy is very good. It was in the serve that he thought about how to catch Lin Shidong's ball. How should I grab it? This is a one-off. Sun Wen's serve got two points. Look at Lin Shidong's serve. It's a little bit of a pity. In fact, Lin Shidong's serve quality is not high according to this high standard. This is actually Sun Wen. I think there will be similar small problems in Sun Wen's previous games. His threat and all-round ability are enough. But there may be some points where he is not in the best position. Yes. In fact, this is also the gap between the main force and the non-main force. Yes. Speaking of this National Games, I believe that many games will have similar situations. 6-7 But Sun Wen is very focused on playing. He is very serious. He may have some problems. He will continue to pay attention to the same situation. There will be no dispersion and no doubt. Sun Wen is really good at playing. He loves table tennis. He is a very dedicated person. Lin Shidong is also very strong in the backhand. A fast shot to the table. This is also Lin Shidong's main threat. I feel that Lin Shidong's backhand is very stable and patient today. Yes. In fact, they seem to be fighting. But in terms of overall speed, Lin Shidong is faster than him. Yes. You see, there is a difference in their positions. All the balls are pressed from the top to the bottom. So now for Sun Wen, there is a change. I can't go back. I have to be hard. Even if there is a mistake in the middle court. Yes. Indeed, if Sun Wen takes a step back and returns to his usual position, Lin Shidong will be faster. Yes. Completely suppressed. After the second game, Lin Shidong took the lead by 2-0. We just mentioned that the process of the two games is similar. Both are in the opening phase. After the military confrontation, Lin Shidong pulled the score from several details in the game. Both games are 11-6. Look at the third game. Indeed, at this stage, Sun Wen has already made some changes to the game. In fact, I think this game is better than the first game. At least, in the middle court, Sun Wen has made some changes to the game. But after that, Lin Shidong's change is very fast. At this time, Sun Wen has to think about whether he can make some changes in advance. Including after the game, he has to be more active and bold. For Sun Wen, as I said, he can't use the usual tactics. He has to take advantage of the situation. He has to hold the score. This will bring some pressure to Lin Shidong. Objectively speaking, it is difficult to take the initiative in terms of tactics. As long as he can hold the score, including the influence of his mentality, he will have a chance. Let's look at the third game. In fact, Sun Wen's tactics are very clear in the opening phase. And he received the ball. In the middle game, you can't keep hitting this point. You have to make some changes. And indeed, in the first two games, Lin Shidong will often make some changes first. In the third game, the opening phase is good. But the opening phase is not bad. Both points are in the middle. Lin Shidong can't add a shot. At this time, Sun Wen has to be more active and bold. As I said, when there is a chance, you can't control it yourself. And in the game, if there is such a problem in every game, it hurts the player's spirit. You see, this is an excellent athlete. When the main force plays a game, he must take into account the details and scores. What ball do I have to hit? When do I have to score? I have to get this point. The score will count. You can see that the opening of the 2-0 was very good. If the score was 3-0, the situation would be different. Now the score is 2-3. And this point is also a chance for Sun Wen. As you just said, Lin Shidong has already calculated the connection of the next game. He wants to win the next game. This is the ability to calculate the ball. First of all, you have to design a strategy. What ball do I have to hit? How do I get the ball? It's all in your own prediction. In the end, it's all about execution. It's a pity. Sun Wen played very well this time. He made the ball loose and straight. This is a very high quality ball. But I think this is also a good performance of Lin Shidong today. Yes, Lin Shidong's forehand was very good today. He protected his forehand well. It's all straight. If the quality of the ball is too good, I will go to the table first. If the quality of the ball is good, I will go to the table first. In fact, Lin Shidong wants to change and improve this point in time. There are a lot of games now. You can see what tactics the opponent uses to fight against us. Like many of the international games of Lin Shidong before. I often find some problems from his mistakes. Including some of the right-handers' protections. To find some problems. In fact, I am also looking forward to being able to observe through the match of the National Games. He did better in these aspects. The right-hander blocked the ball too tightly today. The quality of this ball is a bit low. Too slow. There is no effect if it is too slow. If it is too slow, there is too much room for the opponent to attack. So in the first three games, even if I can't attack with high quality, I must have a number. The two players have reached the end of the third game so far. It can be said that Sun Wen made similar mistakes in all three games. This is a pity. And Sun Wen has a lot of right-handers. So I can feel that Sun Wen's right-hander ability can be improved. It needs to be improved. Because Sun Wen's height is also relatively high. I feel that his backhand coordination is better than the right-hander. In my impression, he is actually very comprehensive. Especially his ability to switch the attack and defense. His thickness is the same as his style of playing. He has a lot of tenacity. He is very good at pinching and biting. But the absolute kill board is a little bit worse. I just experienced it. Look, 2-0, 2-2. These two right-handers are attacking. Now the score is 10-3. In fact, the turning point is that one point. So the score is that one point. 3-0 lead is not the same. 2-1. It's just a little bit slower. And after that point, In fact, the overall process of the third game is not like the first two games. Maybe there are still a few points in the opening game. It was quickly pulled away from the third game. OK, let's pay attention to the situation in the fourth game. At this time, if you go back to the tactics of the first two games, Lin Shidong will have a big advantage. The whole person sees more clearly. In fact, what is this ball? All three openings are the same. Whether it's serving or receiving, it's all in the middle. Lin Shidong already knows. Now Lin Shidong is getting more and more comprehensive. But the point of being caught is decreasing. 2-1. You see, in the first two games, Sun Wen was in the middle of Lin Shidong in the opening game. Now, including the second half of each game and the opening of the fourth game, If you want to break through Lin Shidong from this point, It's a good chance for Lin Shidong to score. Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with him. But it's too monotonous. No matter how good you are, you can't be too monotonous. What you encounter is the top dog. It's not that you can catch him alive in one environment. Although you catch this point, You have to cooperate with other points and positions. We often talk about the richness of tactics. There's more of this combination. 4-2. Actually, I know what position he wants to be in. He wants to be in the right position. But you see, his weak point is still in the middle position. In fact, for Sun Wen's strategy, He must be trying to change the weak point. Break through the weak point. If you break through the weak point, slow down Lin Shidong's attack speed. He's looking for a chance. Because he has to slow down. Because Lin Shidong's whole attack today, Not to mention the initiative. The attack speed and the threat are great. Now Sun Wen can't pull his hand away. In the first few games, Sun Wen can't pull his hand away. His strategy is to slow down Lin Shidong. But your weak point is not that precise. They're all in the middle. You see, Sun Wen's defense is very good. If you want to hit Sun Wen directly, It's hard to break through this backhand. Now this serve is too critical for Sun Wen. A lucky shot. Now it's getting clearer. All the weak points are concentrated in the middle of Lin Shidong. There's a little change here. If Sun Wen wants to rush in the middle, Lin Shidong must have waited for him to come back. This kind of change should appear in the opening and middle of the first two games. For example, if I make a tactical strategy with 4 points and 6 points, At least there are two points to hit out. And a few points to hit back. If you're forced to a relatively passive situation, If you go for a change, There's too little room for the other party to compress. I think we need to take the initiative. A passive change is easy to be calculated by the opponent. Lin Shidong made two mistakes. The third is one. For Lin Shidong, he still needs to focus. The first three games went very well. Look at the pause. Very experienced. Maybe after being chased ahead, Whether it's your own tactics that are under control, Or your own concentration has dropped. You need to slow down at this time. Don't give the opponent any chance. And this pause doesn't mean that you have pressure on the score. Or that you have some tactical difficulties. Instead, you need to adjust the state you want to play through this pause. Hit it back. This is also a very real feeling. The whole coach is actually letting him get on the court. You fight with him. You can't step back. You can't hide. Then Sun Wen said, I'm on the court. I can't make it in time. What if he changes his mind? Actually, you have to think about it. If I really stand on the court to fight, Maybe Lin Shidong doesn't have a good chance to change his mind. In fact, in the first two games, Sun Wen and Lin Shidong both had some quick shots in the opening. At that time, you also said that Sun Wen was not completely on the defensive line. But he dodged. He was afraid. In the two-wall confrontation, If no one dodges, Then you give up your main battlefield. That's right. This is very good. The wall is two boards high. This shot is very good. In the end, it turned to the forehand. In fact, there was a problem with the forehand. It's not that you have a problem with the backhand line. In fact, this ball is so high in quality. Can you hold it back? Yes, it's very good. In fact, this ball is also like what I said just now. I can't make it on the court. It's really his real feeling. Two in a row. Yes. Hard touch. That's great. This drop was caught dead. Yes. And control this quality. In today's game, Sun Wen doesn't seem to have a good way. A lot of this kind of ball. In fact, it shows the drop point of Sun Wen's serve. Is it enough? Open. In fact, it's all in the hand. This control is not bad. Still in the middle. Very good. After the coach paused, Coach Chen Xi told Sun Wen, You hit the top of their head. This is effective. In order not to let Lin Shidong Make a high-intensity line. You have to give him enough pressure in front. This is also the ability of Sun Wen. This is the ability of Sun Wen. So far, Lin Shidong has taken the initiative to change the line. In fact, there are not many lines. Lin Shidong rarely changes directly to Sun Wen's forehand. Mostly in the middle. You see, after a few balls just now, I don't dare to fight back. I feel a little wrong. It's starting to change the line. Back to the table. This ball is dead. This ball is hard to return. Because the rotation is too strong. Shake your hand a little bit. It's out of the table. Today, the two of them are in the short of the forehand. Lin Shidong's quality and accuracy are more obvious. And I think his point is faster than before. 11-8 In this case, Lin Shidong's total score of 4-0 Beat Sun Wen. Recently reached the top 16 of the men's singles. After four games, For Sun Wen, Especially in the first, second, and fourth games, There are some key points of the score. He didn't hold on to it. Today, Lin Shidong was well prepared before the game. After the game started, he switched quickly. And in the course of the game, Some points of the score were well grasped. Including the fourth game, There may be some of his own mistakes. And after the tactical changes of the other party, His resilience and patience were also very good.
