[Special Correspondent Wu Mengru/Nagoya Report] The Taiwanese team competed in the top 8 of the men's team badminton match at the Asian Games in Nagoya today. Qi Youren only scored 1 point due to his opponent's injury. The new men's doubles combination of Wang Qilin and Liu Guangheng was unable to turn the tide. In the end, they lost to Thailand 1:3 and missed the top four. They will then compete in the individual competition.

The Taiwanese men's team was awarded the third seed, exempted from the top 16, and started from the top 8. Today's match against Thailand was led by the men's singles brother Zhou Tiancheng. However, due to loss of physical strength in the latter part of the game, the speed could not keep up, and many opportunities were missed. They were reversed by Thailand's former king Kunrawut at 21:19, 16:21:14:21, and missed the chance to get the team a good start.

The second point is that the men's doubles Li Zhehui/Yang Boxuan missed two late points in the second game and lost to the Thai combination Peeratchai Sukphun/Pakkapon Teeraratsakul 21:16, 20:22, 21:23, falling into a 0:2 deficit. The third point is that after the men's singles Qi Youren lost the first game 15:21, when leading 9:6 in the second game, Impanita Chapeng (Panitchaphon Teeraratsakul) retired from the game to accept the victory, which also allowed the Taiwan team to successfully stay alive.

The fourth point introduced a new men's doubles combination of Wang Qilin/Liu Guangheng. Although the attack was fierce in the first game and they constantly used high balls from their opponents to bombard them, they were counterattacked in the last two games and the transition became slower. In the end, they were reversed by the Thai team at 21:13, 14:21, 14:21. The Taiwan team was eliminated in the top 8 early and missed the medal.
