Miranda: Today the game was the hardest and most intenseDifferent from the style of daring to fight on the field, when speaking at the post-match press conference, the Chinese women's table tennis players "humble" each other. Finally, under the arrangement of the host, coach Ma Lin first picked up the microphone.
Ma Lin said: "Recently, we have played with Japanese women's table tennis many times. Today's game should be the hardest and most intense. Sun Yingsha 3:1 (11:6/12:10/8:11/11:9) Hina Hayada, Chen Meng 3:2 (12:10/8:11/7:11/11/11:8/11:5) Miyu Hirano and Manyu Wang 3:1 (6:11/11:4/11:7/13:11) Miwa Chang, although the match ended 3:0, the two sides clashed fiercely in the small game, and the Japanese players also won one or two sets from the Chinese.
However, Ma Lin also fully affirmed the team spirit of the female table tennis girls "uniting as one", saying that this competition fully demonstrated the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the Chinese women's table tennis team's "thinking in one place and working hard in one place".
Chen Meng also felt the same way about this. In her speech, she said that she had not played so hard with the Japanese team for a long time, so she felt that "the power of unity is particularly strong". "When I was playing hard today, I saw the coaches and my teammates off the field, giving me encouragement and eye contact, and I couldn't express this energy in words at the moment." Chen Meng said.

Japan Team Coach: The wall of the Chinese team is too thick and too high"I am very excited to play against the 'king' Chinese team of table tennis today." At the post-match press conference, Japanese women's table tennis head coach Takehiro Watanabe said.
He said that although the Japanese team has not defeated the Chinese team, the Japanese players have worked very hard and presented a wonderful game to everyone today. But to really "win" the Chinese team, Watanabe Takehiro said, "The wall of the Chinese team is still too thick and too high." We have to overcome the difficulty, we still have to work hard. ”
Hina Hayata delivered her post-match speech on behalf of the athletes. She said she was both "happy" and at the same time "unwilling" about the performance. "Happy" because I have given full play to all my abilities, and "unwilling" because "from my personal experience, compared with these previous competitions, today's process is the closest to the level that can compete with the Chinese women's team".
