Yu Baiwei, the captain of the Chinese women's ice hockey team, walked off the field, sweat flowing down the ends of her hair, but she was calm as if she had not experienced the vicious battle that had been ups and downs for two hours just now - facing the world's sixth place, "condescending" to Group B (Group A took the world's top five), winning Sweden 3:1 in Group B, winning the Japanese women's ice hockey team in Denmark 6:2, and the Chinese female ice girls used "tougher" to fight "tough". Although the first set was 0:1 behind, but the girls had no fear, the third set began to equalize, the two sides "hung zero" in extra time, the final one-on-one shooting game, goalkeeper Zhou Jiaying five consecutive saves, the tiger helmet on her head and the dragon striped knee pads on her head seemed to sparkle, guarding the goal of the Chinese women's ice hockey.
"Shooting wins", the Chinese female ice team at her doorstep, contributed a classic battle with a weak victory over the strong.
"Today is the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and before the game I thought I could be 666 today." Yu Baiwei said, "Although Japan is a strong team, we are really ready to win them. The last time we won against Japan, we don't know when it was, so we especially want to win, on the field we are fighters, is to show everyone, in the new era of Chinese women's ice is what the team is like. ”
The answer is already clearly visible in the game.
The Japanese women's ice is threatened with two consecutive wins, from the first second of the game to launch an attack at full speed to the Chinese team goal, their sliding skills are indeed very good, the lower shot is also very fast, there are many fake actions, the passing rate is very high - the overall style is like the Japanese football team - but the Chinese women's ice team is not afraid at all!
The Japanese team is fast, the Chinese women's ice is not slow, the Japanese team is dense, and the Chinese women's ice defense is not negligent. Chinese women's ice coach Idarski told the China Youth Daily China Youth Network reporter after the game that in his heart, the most dangerous weapon of the Japanese team is "speed", "as long as we keep up with their speed, there is a chance to attack them", and it turns out that Idarski's judgment is correct.
'Although the Japanese team is ranked high, we are not without a chance, I told the players before the game that this is a matchless game, it will be very tough, and everyone has to hold their place." Idarski said, "The game was tightly bitten and we played all the laid-out tactics, which was great. ”
Japan took the lead in the first set to break the goal, Hu Baozhen opened the third set to equalize the score, the momentum of the Chinese women's ice has never lost, the three sets ended, the two sides entered the "sudden death" overtime, but the overtime is still evenly matched, relying on the most exciting one-on-one shooting game to determine the outcome of the game.
Goalkeeper Zhou Jiaying was unyielding - she was the most trusted "gate" of the Chinese women's ice hockey team at the Winter Olympics, blocking the opponent's seemingly necessary shots every time - the first 5 shots of the Japanese team were saved by Zhou Jiaying, and The Chinese women's ice skater Miller, who came out in the fourth place, hit a blow, helping the Chinese women's ice team win this encounter that outsiders want to "impossible to win".
"I believe in myself and I believe in my teammates, we watched the game between Japan and Denmark yesterday and the video of the game again this morning, I know the most threatening players in the Japanese team, I know the way they are familiar with the ball, we know the shooting method they like, we are very prepared." Zhou Jiaying said, "Winning this game, I saw a lot of teammates crying, I 'sympathized' with them. ”
Defeating Japan through a one-on-one shooting match is not enough for The Chinese Women's Ice Team to confirm the top eight seats at the Winter Olympics – according to the rules of the tournament, the top 3 teams in Group B and 5 teams in Group A cross-elimination, and the Chinese women's ice team can only guarantee the promotion if they do not lose to Sweden in the first three sets of the game on February 7. Although the Swedish team, which has lost two consecutive games, only has the theory that it is possible to surpass the Chinese women's ice, But Idarski said, "This match with Sweden is more important to us, and today's victory against Japan does not actually prove anything." ”
"Today, we can win Japan because we are extremely determined in our will, every minute and every second is extremely firm, no one complains about mistakes, the past is over, no longer considered, everyone's duties and positions have not been lost, very stable." 」 Yu Baiwei still said very calmly, "We have a lot of new people in our team, but they are not afraid at all now, when we played the first game (1:3 lost to the Czech Republic), they were still a little nervous and couldn't let go, but now we are playing better and better, and we can fight more and more." As an old female ice hockey player, I just want to dedicate myself to this team without reservation, so that this new team can achieve the best results at the Beijing Winter Olympics. ”
