The process of the game
After the start of the first game, the athletes on both sides did not enter the state quickly, although they knew each other, but because the cooperation of the national table tennis doubles has often changed recently, they need to continue to run in, and they are more cautious when they meet their teammates, and the score difference has not been able to be pulled away, but in the second half of the year, everyone also began to let go of their hands and feet to launch a fierce attack, and finally Chen Meng/Wang Manyu won 15-13.
In the second game, Chen Xingtong/Qian Tian organized a counterattack at the beginning, as a left-right match, the two had an advantage in running, so they also seized this scoring point to force the opponent's footwork to be messy, and then pulled back a city 11-7.
In the third game, Chen Xingtong/Qian Tian began to blow the horn of counterattack, constantly mobilizing Chen Meng/Wang Manyu left and right to succeed, and soon won 11-6 again, with a big score of 2-1 and at the same time, the opponent was forced into a desperate situation, and the situation on the court reversed. In the fourth game, Chen Meng/Wang Manyu fell behind at the beginning, and Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi seized the opportunity to seal the victory 11-9 and eliminated the two Olympic champions to advance.
As mentioned earlier, although Chen Meng and Wang Manyu's singles rankings are higher, doubles is not a simple 1+1=2, if the cooperation of the two right-handed players is not very tacit, they will still suffer when playing against a left-right player, and this time they will not lose unjustly.
