On the evening of January 1st, Beijing time, the final battle of the Chinese Ping Pong Super League - the men's team final came to an end. The runner-up from last season, Shandong Weiqiao Xiangshang Sports (second place in the first stage round-robin), defeated Huangshi Base Huaxin (first place in the first stage round-robin) 3-0. Liang Jingkun/Lin Yungo, Wang Chuqin, and Liang Jingkun respectively defeated Xiang Peng/Xue Fei, Lin Shidong, and Xue Fei, thus making up for the regret of last season's final and winning the men's team championship for the third time in the Ping Pong Super League. For detailed battle reports, please see below.
Shandong Weiqiao Xiangshang Sports is a strong team in this Ping Pong Super League men's team competition, not only having two current national table tennis main players Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun, but also joining the top foreign association player Lin Yungo (from Chinese Taipei). Additionally, they have world champion Yu Ziyang, national champion Huang Youzheng, and famous player Zhou Qihao as support, making their strength very strong.
The top player of Huangshi Base Huaxin is the newly crowned world champion Lin Shidong. They also have Xiang Peng, Xue Fei, Wei Shihao, and Kong Weihao (from Portugal). They achieved first place in the first stage round-robin. However, although they won 3-1 against Shandong Weiqiao Xiangshang Sports at that time, Wang Chuqin and Lin Yungo did not participate in the match, making the difficulty of the final significantly greater, and it is very difficult to win the championship.
Liang Jingkun/Lin Yungo 3-2 Xiang Peng/Xue Fei: In the first doubles match, both teams had their advantages. Among them, the "Liang Jingru" combination had stronger singles capabilities, but since they are athletes from different associations, their familiarity with each other would be weaker than that of the two national table tennis players paired together, Xiang Peng/Xue Fei, making the outcome of this match unpredictable.
After the start of the game, Liang Jingkun/Lin Yungo took the initiative first and won the first set 11-8. However, they were hit hard in the second set and lost 9-11. In the third set, Liang Jingkun/Lin Yungo quickly resolved the situation with an 11-4 victory. However, they lost again in the fourth set 9-11 to Xiang Peng/Xue Fei. In the decisive fifth set, Liang Jingkun/Lin Yungo maintained the lead but were repeatedly tied, eventually completing the kill with a two-point difference of 11-9, narrowly securing the first point for their team.
Wang Chuqin 3-2 Lin Shidong: This was the key match of the final, with world number one Wang Chuqin facing off against world number two Lin Shidong. If the former won, it would be difficult for the players of Huangshi Base Huaxin to hold on until the fifth set to allow Lin Shidong another chance to play; if Lin Shidong won and could play in the decisive set, his opponent would be Lin Yungo, whom he had never beaten before, giving him a much higher chance of victory.
After the start of the game, Wang Chuqin made many mistakes in the first set and was defeated by Lin Shidong 11-6. He then lost the second set after the opponent reached match point but managed to win 12-10. He followed this with a quick victory in the fourth set 11-4. Facing an unfavorable situation, Lin Shidong successfully won the fourth set 11-6, but in the decisive fifth set, Wang Chuqin played better and ultimately secured the victory 11-5, narrowly taking the crucial 1 point.
Liang Jingkun 3-1 Xue Fei: In the third match, Shandong Weiqiao Xiangshang Sports still had another current national table tennis world champion main player, Liang Jingkun, who could participate. However, Huangshi Base Huaxin did not let Xiang Peng, who had relatively stronger singles capabilities, play, but instead let the straight bat player Xue Fei face Liang Jingkun, making it more difficult to win. This match gave Shandong Weiqiao Xiangshang Sports a higher chance of victory.
After the start of the game, Liang Jingkun quickly demonstrated his super-strong loop ball skills and quickly took the lead with an 11-5 victory. In the second set, Xue Fei regained the initiative through control within the table and then won 11-8. In the third set, Liang Jingkun staged a comeback from behind and艰难地以11-9胜出。第四局，薛飞背水一战失败，梁靖崑以11-6结束整场比赛，山东魏桥·向尚运动由此而总比分3-0击败黄石基地·华新，勇夺本届乒超联赛的男团冠军。
