The combination of Shatou is too fierce!
They swept Egypt's Meshef and Asal 4-0 to advance to the last eight of the mixed doubles at the Paris Olympics.
This is the first game of national table tennis in this Olympic Games, Liu Guoliang, Li Falcon, Qin Zhijian led Qiu Yike, Ma Long and other coaches and athletes to sit in the audience together to cheer for Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin. And Xiao Zhan served as the off-court guide of the Shatou combination, accompanying the game.
The opponents of this game, Meshef and Assal, are the first sister and first brother of Egypt table tennis, to be precise, the first sister and the first brother of African table tennis, and their strength is quite good. But compared with the Shatou combination, that bit of strength is not called strength.
However, after the opening, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin played obviously a little tightly, and the score did not open quickly, and Meshev and Asal also began to attack Shatou, because they knew that there was no chance of winning rather than slowly and leisurely following Shatou to fight for strength. Only by fighting with life can there be a glimmer of life.
In the first two games, the Shatou combination won not so crisply, 11-7 in the first game and 11-8 in the second game, but from the third game, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha finally found their senses, they accelerated their serve, quickly took an 8-0 lead, and won the third game 11-4. After the start of the fourth game, the Egypt pair obviously collapsed, while Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha became more and more courageous, and finally won the fourth game 11-3. The total score was 4-0, and the national table tennis got off to a good start.
At the Tokyo Olympics, after the national table tennis lost the mixed doubles gold medal, the Shatou combination shouldered the heavy responsibility, and it is no exaggeration to say that the national table tennis has expectations for the gold medal in the mixed doubles competition, even beyond other events. Because we are stable in the team competition, few people can play in the national table tennis, and in the singles event, there are two people in the national table tennis, and the probability of the gold medal is also greater.
Only mixed doubles, a slight mistake, the previous efforts are lost.
And Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin also used their wonderful performances to release a positive signal to Liu Guoliang and the national table tennis coaching staff.
