Lead

The badminton competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games officially began, and the Chinese women's doubles pair Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan faced a Malaysia women's doubles pair, and finally won 2-1 to advance to the final.

Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan's first opponent is the "two siblings" of Tina · Muraritaran and Tan Kangle, who have beaten Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan in this season's Malaysia Super Series after becoming partners in 2019.

This time they met again in the Olympic Games, and the Fan Chen combination will definitely take the strength of the sister and brother combination seriously and deal with it carefully.

The first game started dominantly.

The game is divided into three rounds, and the performance of the players on the court can reflect their competitive state, the height of their technical level, and the extent of their experience, which is not only a confrontation between two pairs of players, but also a psychological confrontation between two different styles and different types of players.

In the 2023 World Championships, the Fan Chen combination lost to the sibling pair, so when they meet again this time, they will definitely carefully study the opponent's match record from 3 months ago and make targeted adjustments and improvements.

After the start, both teams are very cautious, after all, a mistake in a game will affect the psychological state of the players, bring help to the opponent, and cause the next situation to be irreparable.

After the start of the first game, even the color of the athletes' clothing is very eye-catching, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan is wearing black short sleeves, black shorts, and white sneakers on his feet, simple and clear.

The opponent is wearing a dark blue sportswear, with dark blue sneakers on his feet, and the color matching on the clothing is to show his best state and cause a psychological shock to the opponent.

Despite this, after the start of the first game, the state of the Fan Chen combination was very good, and the degree of tacit understanding between each other after the start was very high, first through tacit cooperation, the opponent's ball was hit off the court, first won the score, and then through high-intensity reaction ability, the opponent's ball was hit to different positions on the field, controlling the landing point of the ball.

In the face of the tacit cooperation and quick reaction ability of the Fan Chen combination, although the sister and brother combination on the field also has good strength, they are particularly difficult to play in the face of such a state and rhythm.

At 1-5, when Tina was about to settle the ball point for a blow after receiving the serve, she was hit in the middle by the downward pressure ball of the Fan Chen combination, and she was directly caught off guard, and it was not until the ball hit the ground that she reacted, but the score was already behind.

As the game progressed, although the sisters and brothers made a short state adjustment and their strength recovered, they were also slightly difficult to fight back in the face of high-intensity attacks, and the Fan Chen combination changed the landing point from time to time, which well limited the opponent's offensive ability.

At 7-10, the sisters and brothers intended to break Chen Qingchen's defense through the sharp ball after the cooperation, but Chen Qingchen still reacted to the hair, and Tina was about to pass to Chen Kangle, but when Chen Kangle was about to receive the ball, Tina directly hit Chen Kangle's body.

At 12-8, Chen Qingchen waved the ball backwards, Chen Kangle prepared to receive the hair, but he didn't expect that he made a mistake again, and the ball was blown away, and the score was also stretched to 12-8.

In the second half, when Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan received the ball, Chen Kangle sent the backcourt position in front of him, and when Chen Kangle was about to press down to attack, he generously sent the ball to Chen Qingchen, without looking at the opponent's position at all, so that the opponent seized this opportunity to attack, and when Chen Kangle served, Chen Qingchen pressed down and counterattacked to score.

In the end, when Chen Qingchen served, he seized the opportunity to press down and attack again, and Tina was slow because she had not served for a long time, and it was difficult to catch Chen Qingchen's counterattack, and finally the first game ended 11-21.

Lost the second game.

After the start of the second game, after the back-and-forth score stalemate, Fan Chen combined the ball to the corner of the court when he had the ball, and when Chen Qingchen was about to receive the ball, he didn't expect Tina to try to send the ball to Chen Kangle again, Chen Kangle reacted in time and missed it.

In the face of the sister and brother's unreasonable way of playing, the Fan Chen combination could not adapt to the rhythm of the opponent, and it took a lot of effort to equalize the score in the second game.

But at the end of the second game, the sisters and brothers may have failed to react in time when the ball was returned out of bounds due to previous mistakes, which eventually led to the second game being tied by the opponent 18-21.

The so-called "one win and one loss", the psychological quality at the critical moment determines the final result of the game, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan must always keep their thinking clear and adjust their state in time.

Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan at the break between the game, the coach carried out targeted on-the-spot guidance, with a kind of "hold this state, put aside the mistakes in the second game, the third game will be able to win" back to the field, after the start of the tiebreaker, after Chen Qingchen served on the court, Chen Kangle was obviously a little nervous when he was ready to serve, after serving to Chen Kangle, Chen Kangle also hit the ball out of the court at some will, until the score was pulled to 10-5, Chen Kangle eased up and began to serve.

Subsequently, the sisters and brothers were also looking for an opportunity to break the opponent's defense line in the continuous backwardness, when Chen Kangle was about to serve to the backcourt, he saw Chen Qingchen preparing to receive the hair in front of the court, so he hit the ball to Chen Qingchen's backcourt, Chen Qingchen also reacted quickly to prepare for the hair, but was also hit in the face by the ball that his sister Tina pressed down to attack, and when Chen Qingchen was carrying out the hair extension, he accidentally missed and lost the initiative of the hair extension.

After falling behind at the beginning of 1-4, after scoring, Jia Yifan switched serves, and Jia Yifan directly hit a beautiful landing point to help the team narrow the point difference.

As the game progressed, the camera also gave a close-up of the coach, and it can be seen that the coach was also very nervous, and as the score grew, the coach's hand also held the edge tightly, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.

At 6-8, the Fan Chen combination was also in the return confrontation with Tina, Tina was distracted, Chen Qingchen reacted quickly to receive the hair, helped the team tie the score, and then seized the opportunity to counterattack again, quickly helped the team exceed the score and stretched the difference to 8-10.

Chen Qingchen's psychological quality needs to be improved.

In the game, the most important thing is the mentality and state, once the mentality collapses, even if there is a good state, it will play very poorly, just like Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan, in the second game, there were frequent mistakes, resulting in Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan's psychological state is not very good, as if they were beaten with chicken blood, and after the state was hit, it led to a psychological collapse.

At 11-14, when Chen Qingchen was about to receive the serve, the ball that was suddenly served to them flew over, Chen Qingchen was a little stunned, this god blocked a beat, and also caused their backward score to be widened.

Despite this, the Fan Chen combination did not give up the game, and in the deciding game, the Fan Chen combination quickly adjusted its state and began to counterattack, and finally won again 21-15.

In the athlete's career, the critical moment will be very nervous, even if it is usually training and competition, it will be very nervous, so the athlete should also exercise the psychological quality in daily training, exercise the psychological quality, and exercise the psychological quality, so that he can maintain a clear mind and make correct judgments at the critical moment of tension.
