Chen Meng once again lost at the hands of Wang Manyu and failed to prove himself with a championship in the first battle of the opening year. Interestingly, Chen Meng's expression after losing the game was very rich, and he did not lose it to Ito Mimakoto at all.
National table tennis fans often ridicule Ito Mimako, the reason is that her expression and movements after losing the game are very rich, a bit of a playful upper body feeling.
Chen Meng has always been a steady and calm player, whether he wins or loses, he always has a breeze, making people unable to see the beginning. Now, in the game against Wang Manyu, after losing a goal, he showed a rich expression and action, which was really a bit surprising to the fans.
The WTT Macau Championship is the opening drama of 2022, and for Chen Meng, he urgently needs a champion to get out of his haze zone. Ever since she won the Tokyo Olympics and Chen Mengxin said the wrong thing, she has been grabbed by fans and the media, causing her to carry a heavy psychological burden.
Chen Meng before the Olympic Games, facing Wang Manyu's competition, it was more than winning and losing less. However, after the Olympic Games, Chen Meng had never won Wang Manyu once.
First of all, he lost to Wang Manyu twice at the National Games, and then he lost to Wang Manyu again in the semi-finals of the World Table Tennis Championships. Why is Chen Meng like this? That is, she is carrying psychological baggage and urgently needs to prove herself with results, so she shows the mentality of wanting to win and afraid of losing in the game, and she will not be able to handle the key ball in place, resulting in her several times losing to Wang Manyu.
In this Macau Championship, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu met again in the semi-finals, can she get revenge on Wang Manyu?
In the first set, Chen Meng was in very good shape and quickly won the first set 11-5.
A good start did not allow Chen Meng to win the second set, but instead let Wang Manyu equalize at 6-11.
In the third set, Chen Meng won first and then lost, losing another set at 9-11.
In the fourth set, Chen Meng has been behind from the beginning, losing another set at 8-11, is Chen Meng just throwing a loss?
With no way back, Chen Meng put down the burden in his heart and calmly responded to the battle, and went down two cities in a row of 13-11, 11-9, pulling the total score to 3-3 and dragging the game into the decider.
In the seventh game, when Wang Manyu led 7-5, everyone thought that Chen Meng was going to lose again. Unexpectedly, Chen Meng rose up to catch up, but instead reversed the score and led 9-8. After Wang Manyu gritted his teeth and scored a point, he actually called a timeout. After returning from the timeout, Wang Manyu seized the opportunity and scored two consecutive points to win 11-9, thus defeating Chen Meng again 4-3.
Chen Meng did lose unfortunately, achieved a reversal in the case of backwardness, and led the decider 9-8, but the result was still not bitten, but it was a 2-point difference.
In addition to Chen Meng's easy win of the first game at 11-5, there was not much expression on his face, the rest of the games, Chen Meng as long as he lost a ball, there would be various expressions on his face, and he kept shaking his head and shaking his head, not losing Ito Mimachi at all.
It can be seen from these actions of Chen Meng that she wants to defeat Wang Manyu to prove herself, but unfortunately, the mentality of wanting to win and being afraid of losing affects her, and in the handling of some key balls, it is far inferior to Wang Manyu, and she also eats Wang Manyu a lot of serves, which is really something that should not be done.
I hope that Chen Meng, in the future competition, can let go of the burden in his heart and stop affecting himself because of a sentence he once said wrong. Understand that your fans are supporting you, come on, Chen Meng!
