[Reporter Nian Miaoyun/Nagoya Report] The "left-handed heavy gun" Lin Junyi made his debut in the top 32 of the men's singles at the Nagoya Asian Games. Unfortunately, he was injured and could not perform well. In the end, he lost to the South Korean player Yu Taibin at 10:21 and 12:21, and missed the top 16. When it comes to the serious injury suffered before the Asian Games, Xiaolin admitted that it was really a pity, but it also taught him how to take good care of his body before big competitions in the future. He will continue to compete in European competitions. If the situation is good, he will compete, but if not, he will not force it.

Lin Junyi, ranked 11th in the world, competed in the Asian Games with a torn left leg muscle. However, he was not seeded in this year's Asian Games and could only start from the top 64. Yesterday, facing the Mongolian player Gerelsukh Jargalsaikhan, who was not ranked in the world, Kobayashi steadily secured his ticket to the top 32 with a straight two losses.

However, Lin Junyi will face the South Korean player Yu Taibin again today. The two had played in the top four of this year's Taipei Open, and Xiaolin lost the battle at that time. But this time the situation was more difficult. He struggled hard due to a leg injury, and finally lost in a straight two, ending his first Asian Games trip in his career.

Lin Junyi admitted that it was a pity that an injury disrupted the Asian Games for the first time, but he believed that this was also a valuable experience to learn how to maintain physical condition and avoid injuries before the competition. "This year I have been telling myself not to get injured again, but as my opponents are ranked higher and higher and their intensity is getting stronger, while winning, the injuries are also accumulating."

Talking about this injury, Lin Junyi revealed that from the events in Japan and China to the Taipei Open, something was wrong with his body one after another. When he returned home for an examination, he discovered that there was a 6 cm long laceration on the back of the thigh, equivalent to a quarter of the leg. The pain was even transferred due to nerve damage, making it difficult for the protection team to judge immediately.

In order to catch up with the Asian Games, Lin Junyi has become a frequent visitor to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in the past few weeks, traveling back and forth between Taipei and Taoyuan. "I had two pumps of water, about 40cc, and then PRP, hyperbaric oxygen, shock waves, etc., everything that should be done was done."

Lin Junyi said that because it was his first Asian Games, he really didn't want to give up. He was under great pressure during this period and was very depressed for several days. He was very grateful to the support and companionship of the protection team all the way. "They pay attention to my physical and mental state every day. The protection team is really the biggest pillar behind me and the key to winning two championships this year."
