It's amazing! The Chinese men's curling team defeated Switzerland 6-5 in the final game of the Winter Olympic men's curling round robin tournament, completing two consecutive wins, and finally ending all the games in the round robin stage with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses, and also reserved the last glimmer of hope for promotion for themselves.
In this game, the Chinese team continued to line up the lineup of Xu Jingtao at first base, Wang Zhiyu at second base, Zou Qiang at third base and Ma Xiuyue at fourth base.
The Chinese team has not performed well before, if you want to advance to the top 4, there is only theoretical hope, but you must fight the Swiss team, and the Swiss team is the world's top three strong teams, is a strong team without compromise, the Chinese team wants to achieve such a goal, it is not small.
However, since the perfect defeat of Norway in the last game, the Chinese team seems to have gradually found the feeling and rhythm of the game, mainly because the playing style has become less complicated, and the idea has become relatively simple, first of all, to ensure the success rate is the mainstay, rather than to fight with more experienced opponents to fight the ability to handle the ball in complex situations.
In this battle, the Chinese team continued to implement such a strategy, not impatient, patient and Swiss team around, the first 8 games, the two sides of you and me, 4-4 draw, all of them controlled the opponent to death, completely did not leave the other side with the opportunity to take away the big points.
The key 9th inning, the Chinese team first hand innings, the first hand game as long as the control of the opponent to get 1 point is successful, so that they can fight with the Swiss team in the 10th round, and strive to get more than 2 points of big points, a round is set, the Chinese team perfectly completed the tactical intention.
The game came to the 10th inning, can the Chinese team withstand the pressure? The answer is yes, every pot throw, the Chinese team has made the right choice, and perfectly executed their own tactical ideas, curling games are like this, only tactics, not execution, everything is in vain.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese team's success rate in this game is as high as 99%, the success rate of hitting is 91%, and the overall success rate is as high as 95%, which is a very anti-heavenly data, even so, the Chinese team is only 1 point to narrowly beat the Swiss team, it can be seen that if you want to win the game, it is not easy.
In addition to a more relaxed mentality, after the tempering of the previous game, the Chinese team's judgment of the slip of the field and the judgment of the point line have gone up a large level, of course, the key is that as we mentioned earlier, the Chinese team has adopted the correct tactics.
Only by making the situation as simple as possible, rather than every pot is very brain-burning, very testing precision of the pot and hit, can ensure a high enough success rate, but unfortunately, China has realized this layer, or a little late.
It is precisely because the previous tactics were too complicated that the Chinese team was repeatedly entangled, missing some games that could have been won, and if it won 2 more games, the Chinese team would be ironclad to advance to the top 4, instead of waiting for the final results of the other teams to calculate the score.
Here to explain, curling round robin ranking top 4 teams will enter the final 4 rounds, determine the final champion, runner-up, third place, if multiple teams round robin points are the same, will compare each other's record, in the current situation, it is possible to finally form a Swiss, American, Chinese, Russian Olympic Committee team and other teams 4 wins and 5 losses, then the calculation of points will be quite complicated.
And the Chinese team can actually not have to go through such a painful process, waiting for this slim first-line vitality, whether the Chinese team can survive, or hope that the experience of this competition, will make the Chinese team benefit a lot, thrive, victory or defeat is a common thing, we come to Japan for a long time.
