After the game, Zhou Qihao said that both sides played very well in the first two games, and there were some unexpected balls, but he didn't grasp the key ball, resulting in a big score of 0-2 behind, and there was no way to retreat in the third game, and he took some changes in tactics and landing points to grasp the whole situation. And the reason why I was able to fight back when I was 0-2 behind was mainly because of some subconscious balls that pushed forward, so as to play the beginning of these two games. So it seems that the third and fourth innings will start better.
