On April 19, the 1/4 finals of the Macau World Cup began, in which Japan's main team lost 2 games in a row, and Ma Long's speech after the reversal game was still modest and low-key! Chen Meng's comments after the game were also very calm.
On the whole, Chen Meng swept Miyu Hirano 4-0, which was very crucial, eliminating the main force of the Japanese team in the Olympic women's singles.
Chen Meng thinks so: The game with Miyu Hirano, every time he fights, he is very close, although he has won the game in the recent team competitions, but the Asian Games are more thrilling. From today's performance, as well as the use of techniques and tactics, I am still quite satisfied. At the end of the third game, I was still thinking about chasing one point at a time, but after all, I was already behind, and I was still thinking about how to play. The mentality was still better, including winning the game 4-0, but the process was not as easy as the scoreline.
Looking forward to the follow-up games, Chen Meng said frankly in a low-key manner: Every game needs to adapt to the advanced playing style of young athletes, think about not falling behind, and be proactive on the court. In this game, Chen Meng completed a crazy reversal of 12-9 from 4-8 in the third game, which also made the opponent completely unable to respond.
Ma Long's 4-2 reversal of Japan's Hayasuke Togami is also the main force of the Olympic singles. After the game, Ma Long calmly analyzed: twice behind and twice tied, the two games lost were not bitten at the beginning, and it was difficult to play after falling behind at the beginning. In the fourth game, I want to fight point by point, and then I want to completely control the situation as before, which is not realistic, so I still want to play point by point. Sometimes it feels like there is a change in mentality, and the fourth game is very crucial, to get back to the same line. The fourth game was the turning point of the game.
As for the last two games of 11-3, Malone low-key believes that he did not use too many skills and tactics, and it was better to hold the ball and reduce unnecessary mistakes. After I eliminated Lebrun, I felt that I should be more unleashed, and this time it was not imagined. I don't have the same feeling about the World Cup as I used to be, even though it's three tournaments, maybe I'm making the most of myself in all kinds of competitions (the World Cup is nothing special), but the young players are taking it very seriously. It can be seen that Ma Long's mentality after the game is very good, which is admirable.
