The poor curling results remind people of Wang Bingyu...
The Curling competition at the Winter Olympics is still ongoing, but the Chinese team's results in three individual events are not ideal: the finished mixed doubles two wins and seven losses are only in the ninth place; in the ongoing team competition, the Chinese men's and women's teams are also six wins, two wins and four losses, temporarily ranking eighth in the group, and entering the top four is only theoretically possible. The overall feeling is that the players of the Chinese curling team play very hard and are also very tenacious, but the technical and tactical level, the on-the-spot play, the choice of attack and defense, and especially the handling of key balls are quite different from the world's strong teams (perhaps the difference).
Watching some Chinese team matches, regardless of the men's team and the women's team, I feel that even if I win the score in the back hand game, I often lose a big score, and sometimes I feel that it is a pity to lose, but in fact, there is no chance at all. For example, tonight's men's team against the United States, the final score difference is not big, but in fact, we have fallen behind 1:5 at the end of the fourth inning, into a passive. For example, today's women's team against Japan, after the eighth inning has returned to the sky and has no strength to concede defeat in advance. So, I was thinking: Leaving aside some of the reasons for the poor performance, is there a deviation in our understanding of the sport of curling? Although the national team has hired foreign coaches, does the development of the local team need to make some necessary changes?
In addition, recalling the history of the development of Chinese curling, Wang Bingyu's generation with their love for this sport, their own groping, can win the world championship in a blockbuster, and now they have hired foreign teachers, training conditions, attention, and investment are much better than in the past, why are the results not as good as in the past?
These questions are really worth pondering for Chinese curlers!
