In the 1/4 finals of the mixed doubles table tennis at the Paris Olympics, the national table tennis king Chuqin/Sun Yingsha defeated the Chinese Taipei pair Lin Yunru/Chen Siyu 4-2 and advanced to the top 4 of the Olympic Games.
The total score seems to be uneventful, but the process is very difficult, especially the fifth game after the big score of 2 draws is the most critical, if this game is not won, the following games are really easy to say. Among them, the three goals won by Sun Yingsha can be said to have played a decisive role.
The turning point in the fifth game was after the two sides were tied 5:5 Sun Yingsha successfully created a situation where the opponent was caught off guard by decisive and timely long balls and sudden picks, and scored key points. Two long ball scores and a decisive blow made it three points in a row to quickly pull the score away.
In fact, Lin Yunru, the opponent of the second long ball, has already prepared, and the risk of serving a long ball at this time is actually very large. Especially Lin Yunru is speeding up very fast now, and Sasha must have the confidence to catch Lin Yunru's return ball. This ball shows that Sasha's reaction speed is really good, and her self-confidence is very strong, and her reaction speed is not bad at all compared to the opposing male player Lin Yunru.
The third fierce challenge shows Sasha's decisiveness and excellent skills, Sasha not only has a big heart, but also plays smartly, often playing the opponent's unexpected position or the most uncomfortable position, even Liu Guoliang stood up and cheered excitedly.
In addition to these three goals, in the last ball of the game, Sasha successfully arranged tactics, and resisted Lin Yunru's violent deduction and won the winning point.
Table tennis has developed to this level, and the female players in the mixed doubles are definitely not auxiliary, but should complement the male players, and the whole sky must be held up at the critical moment.
In this game of wits and courage, Sun Yingsha showed excellent technical and decision-making ability, her ability to resist pressure, on-the-spot adaptability, and firmness and courage on the field are definitely the world's top existence.
After the game, Wang Chuqin said that he cherished the opportunity to stand on the Olympic stage with Sasha and hoped to achieve good results.
After advancing to the round of four, Shatou will face Korea's Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin in the semi-finals, wishing Shatou to continue to defeat her opponent and reach the final.
