As Chen Qingchen sat on the ground to defend successfully, the Japanese team returned the ball and went off the net, at this moment Jia Yifan knelt on the ground for a long time and did not want to get up, Chen Qingchen faced the audience with his hands clenched into fists and kept shouting. They are releasing their pent-up emotions these days. On October 5, the national badminton women's doubles pair Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan defeated the Japanese pair Nao Matsuyama / Chiyo Shida who had lost in the semifinals of the team competition at Hangzhou Binjiang Stadium to advance to the final four of the women's doubles badminton at the Hangzhou Asian Games.
In the semifinals of the women's team on September 30, Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan lost 1-2 to the Japanese pair Nao Matsuyama / Chiyo Shida, and a day later in the final, they lost again and the women's team did not win the championship. They were sad after the loss, but they didn't have time to collect their mood and had to play in individual competitions. "These two days we talk about the ball, even if we do strength training, we will carry the racket and can't relax." Chen Qingchen said that time is very tight, and he can only force himself to adjust. "The strongest thing about high-level athletes is the ability to find and solve problems, and make adjustments as soon as possible to help us compete in the future." Jia Yifan said.
On October 5, in the women's doubles 1/4 final, the "Fan Dust" combination faced the Japanese pair Nao Matsuyama / Chiyo Shida, and in the first set of multiple shots, the "Fan Dust" combination played more patiently, the opponent made more mistakes, and won 21-16. In the second game, the Japanese combination improved their form, and although "Fandust" led several times in the match, the opponents tied the score, and the key point at the end of the game, the "Fandust" combination withstood the pressure and won 21-18.
Being able to "take revenge" on opponents and withstand the pressure of key points, "Mortal Dust" believes that adjusting the mentality has played an important role. "We really want to win, we put too much baggage on ourselves in the team competition, and we don't play very well." Jia Yifan admits that when they jumped out of the idea of "must win, not lose", they played better on the field. Chen Qingchen said that since the last match, she has been adjusting her mentality. "When I can accept my defeat, I play better on the pitch. When I allow myself to lose, I'm more free, and when I don't think I can lose, I probably won't even be able to hit the ball. ”
From the World Championships to the China Open, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan won consecutive championships, and the world ranking has been ranked first for a long time, which has put a lot of pressure on them. "We are in a high position, the mentality has been tense, we have been winning, and we want to win, but the state of people has ups and downs, to allow ourselves to have a bad state, how to adjust yourself, to find the state instead of waiting for the state, this is the most important." Jia Yifan concluded. Winning the Japanese group, "Fan Chen" showed a smile, and Chen Qingchen said: "We break through ourselves again and again. ”
The defeat in the team competition is regrettable, and "Mortal Dust", who reached the final four in the individual competition, is continuing to work hard. In their view, all the experiences and difficulties now are preparing for the Olympic Games. (Photo transferred from Xinhua News Agency, produced by Fu Yuanjie)
