[Special Correspondent Wu Mengru/Nagoya Report] Affected by the wind at the scene, the Taiwanese archery and recurve men's team composed of Tang Zhijun, Lin Zixiang and Zheng Xianghui did not perform at their best. They lost to the top seed South Korea 0:6 in the Nagoya Asian Games semi-finals today and fell into the bronze medal match.

Taiwan's recurve arch team, which broke its record of winning medals in eight consecutive games in the last edition, made a comeback this year. The men's team was led by Tang Zhijun, the "soup dumpling", and teamed up with Lin Zixiang and Zheng Xianghui, who were participating in the Asian Games for the first time. They jointly scored 2,026 points in the qualifying round to grab the fourth seed. They defeated Malaysia and Indonesia in a row and successfully advanced to the semi-finals, but their opponent was the "big devil" South Korea.

The South Korean team is composed of Kim Woo-jin, Kim Je-deok, and Lee Woo-seok. All three are super sharpshooters. Kim Woo-jin is a member of the three-time Olympic gold medal team. Kim Je-de is also a member of the men's team gold medal team for two consecutive Olympic Games. Lee Woo-seok won the men's team gold medal and the men's individual bronze medal at the last Paris Olympics. They are strong.

Tang Zhijun served as the pioneer today, but the first arrow shot a 7-point arrow. The whole team did not perform at their best. They gave up at 54:57 and entered the second game. The wind on the scene also affected South Korea, which has always been accurate. It also shot an 8-point arrow. Unfortunately, Taiwan failed to seize the opportunity and lost 53:54. In the third game, it was unable to turn the tide and lost 55:58, falling into the bronze medal match.
