The Nagoya Asian Games men's table tennis team's top 8 match begins tonight. The Taiwanese team, led by the "Silent Assassin" Lin Yunru, defeated the Iranian team that won the bronze medal in the last Hangzhou Asian Games in straight three games. It has entered the top four of the 4th Asian Games in a row. Tomorrow, it will compete with the winners of the Chinese and Indian teams for tickets to the finals.

The Iranian team, led by the "left-handed geek" Aramyan, won the bronze medal in the men's team quarter-finals of the last Asian Games, defeating Satoshi Harimoto and the Japanese team in charge with three straight wins. This year, it also defeated Pakistan, India, Indonesia and Singapore to reach the quarter-finals.

Lin Yunru, one of Taiwan's top players who took a break for the match against Mongolia at noon, returned to the team in the quarter-finals in the evening and took on the first important task. He faced off against Aramyan, the men's singles bronze medalist at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. The two sides scored 11:5 and 7:11 in the first two games. Each won 1 game, and in the crucial 3rd game, Kobayashi broke the deadlock with 2 points in a row at 8-8, winning another victory at 11:9. He also pursued the victory in the 4th game. After starting at 7:1, he quickly won 11:5, winning the first match in his career.

In the second contest, Guo Guanhong, ranked 39th in the world, defeated the 16-year-old Iranian star Faraj twice in the youth stage. He also suppressed his opponent tonight and finally won 3 consecutive games with 11:6, 11:4 and 11:9, helping the Taiwan team win 2:0. Feng Yixin, ranked 41st in the world, then took the lead, sweeping Aramian, ranked 570th in the world, 11:6, 11:8, 11:2 to complete the closing task.
