Finally won again! After 10 rounds of fighting, the Chinese women's curling team finally defeated the British team 8-4 to win the third victory in the round robin stage of the women's curling event of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and with only 1 game left, although it was basically hopeless to advance to the top 4, it still played a very morale-boosting game.
In this game, the Chinese team continued to adopt the rotation lineup against the Russian Olympic Committee team: jiang Xindi at first base, Zhang Lijun at second base, Dong Ziqi at third base, and Wang Rui at fourth base. Due to the previous major mistakes made by Han Yu at fourth base, even if he was later transferred from fourth base to third base, it still did not play its due role, so from the beginning of the game against the Russian Olympic Committee, the Chinese team took Han Yu down, replaced Jiang Xindi to play, and adjusted the base.
However, in that game, the Chinese team may not find a sense of rhythm for a while due to the sudden multi-base adjustment, perhaps for the newly polished curling, the slippery astringency is still not very adaptable, the whole game, the Chinese team is still full of mistakes, the most important thing is that almost every key hit is almost a little bit, for the judgment of the point line, that is, the timing and angle of the curling strike entry and exit line, there is a big problem, as a result, the Chinese team gave the Russian Olympic Committee team the first victory of the Winter Olympics, which was not won before.
So, against the British team, the Chinese team continues to use this lineup, what is the intention? The result?
First of all, the Chinese team in the previous game, has made two consecutive adjustments, if just because of a game defeat, it will be adjusted again, is bound to cause military instability, the reason for adjusting Jiang Xindi, mainly in order to let Zhang Lijun and Dong Ziqi's base move back, because only if the layout stage is played well, the fourth base shot will not always face the difficult situation that needs to test the psychological endurance.
The play against the Russian team was not ideal, and there was only a slight deviation in the point, at least there would be no very simple blow like Han Yu, which would be deflected a lot and force Wang Rui to break the embarrassing situation.
Against the British team, the Chinese team's point line judgment is obviously much better, obviously the players must have made a serious and meticulous discussion after the end of the last game, and came up with a strain, but if such a strain can be completed in every game, it would be good.
The best thing that the Chinese team and the British team did in this game was that they played extremely patiently, rather than rushing to succeed like the previous game, always wanting to kill the opponent at once, and their reading of the ice surface was not very ideal, and the more mistakes they made, the more difficult it was for themselves, losing to Japan and losing the two routs of the Russian Olympic Committee.
In this game, the Chinese team set the mentality correct, patience and opponent consumption, and the opponent fought, the first 8 games, the two sides came and went, 4-4 draw.
The key 9th game, the Chinese team backhand, after 8 rounds of fighting, finally grinded the opponent out of heart, eager to control the score of the British team made a mistake, while the Chinese team calmed down and successfully ate 3 points.
In the 10th round of the game, the Chinese team laid out a successful layout, which created a lot of difficulty for the British team to get points, and finally the British team played a double fly mistake, and the Chinese team stole 1 point successfully, and finally the Chinese team defeated the British team 8-4.
In this game, from the technical statistics, the overall success rate of the Chinese team reached 84%, higher than the success rate of the British team of 80%, which is the guarantee of victory, any team, if the success rate is only more than 60%, can still win, it is called aggressive and strange.
This is a classic game, should also be the most stable performance of the Chinese team in this Winter Olympic Games, the Chinese team is no longer in a hurry, but patiently read the ice, without certainty, it is better to simplify the situation first, rather than gambling hits and throws, there are key mistakes for the opponent to send points.
I believe this is also the biggest gain of the Chinese team in this competition, in fact, the Chinese team and many strong teams have a chance, the scene is not inferior, but the handling of the key ball, there are always inexplicable mistakes, which is worth summarizing and thinking about.
In any case, the Chinese women's curling team still found its state in the closing stage, which is gratifying, whether the Chinese team has the opportunity to embark on the last train of the top 4, they are worthy of our support and encouragement, after all, this is a very niche project, but also a project that needs practical experience, and because of the well-known factors, the Chinese team has been in closed training in the past, and the girls are really not easy.
