The 2-0 lead was overturned to the limit! Zhang Ben broke down and fell to his knees crying: he was pulled up by the coach and still couldn't stand

In the first semifinal of the men's table tennis team of the Paris Olympics that ended in the early morning of August 8, Beijing time, Japan men's table tennis was reversed 2-3 by Sweden after five hard fights and missed the final. In this final, Tomokazu Zhang lost to Carlberg in the decisive game.

As the number one player in Japan's men's table tennis, Tomokazu Zhang is undoubtedly the team's greatest hope for the final. In the second match, Zhang Ben also lived up to expectations and defeated Olympic men's singles silver medalist Moregard 3-1, plus 1 point in the first men's doubles, Japan once led 2-0.

However, the situation changed after that, and Sweden relied on Carlsen and Moregard to defeat Hayasuke Togami and Shinozuka Daito in the third and fourth singles, and the overall score came to 2-2.

The decisive game was Tomokazu Zhang against Carlberg, who won two games in a row, but then Carlberg bravely equalized with two 11-7. In the tiebreaker, the two sides alternated leads, and finally after 9 draws, Carlberg scored 2 points in a row to help Sweden win the winning point. In this way, Japan was excluded from the men's table tennis team final at this Olympic Games.

After losing the game, Tomokazu Zhang completely collapsed, collapsed to his knees in disappointment, and covered his eyes and shed tears of sadness. It wasn't until the Japan coach pulled him up that he remembered shaking hands with his Sweden opponents and signaling to the crowd, but he still couldn't stand. Obviously, this defeat hit him too hard.

With the men's team out, coupled with the mixed doubles stopping in the first round, the men's singles missed the quarterfinals, and if Tomokazu Haramoto cannot lead Japan to victory in the bronze medal match, he will face the embarrassment of zero medals in this Olympics.
