8-3 to 11-8. An 8-point streak after how level the rest of the match went? That's a choke if I ever saw one. LJK is a clutch player for sure but Harimoto can't win 3 in potentially 12 chances? That's mental pressure, not a skill issue. I really think Japan and Korea are focused too much on "We're not fast enough, we're not strong enough." This tournament has proved that's not true. China has something else. Probably being under immense pressure from the time they're children.

May as well skip to the trophy ceremony; even if Matsushima and Togami pulled miracles, we'd end up in match 5 and LJK would come back from 0-2, 9-10 down to win the match
China plays it as usual the rest of the world, in their haste to win, stiffened and imploded by themselves. Expectation is high when they are about to defeat China and that same expectation bites them back.

Game over for Japan. There is no way they are coming back from this unless they pull a China like the Asian Team Champs semi final coming back from 0-2 down to win it 3-2 but thats wishful thinking.

I have concluded that the table tennis deities will never let that happen. I really shouldn't have watched this match.
