Admittedly, in yesterday's fierce battle in the mixed doubles duel, Sun Yingsha from time to time on the field, softly consoled Wang Chuqin, trying to stabilize his mood. Through the details of this scene, it is not difficult to find Wang Chuqin's psychological state needs to be adjusted. Everyone knows that Moregard's psychological fluctuations are large, but few people pay attention to our Wang Chuqin's psychological quality is also not optimistic. When he reversed a 0:2 disadvantage and equalized to 2:2, that crucial pause should not be ignored. Unfortunately, there was only one timeout in the whole game. And in the fifth and sixth games that followed, Moregard was in top form, getting better and better as if sweating like crazy.
Wang Chuqin's morale was dampened, and when he tried to strengthen his attack in the third board, he was repeatedly trapped by his own mistakes. The more errors he made, the more depressed he became, and when he was in a bad mood, the errors snowballed and the pace of the match was thrown into disarray. This kind of chaos is exactly what Moregard likes to see. In the end, Wang Chuqin lost 2:4 in two consecutive matches, stopping in the second round of the men's singles.
This result is undoubtedly the worst record for the Chinese table tennis team in the men's casual event at the Olympics. For Wang Chuqin, there is still a long road ahead for him to explore. May this setback be a stepping stone for his growth, while for the national table tennis team, the first half of the loss also depends on whether Fan Zhendong can survive this psychological hurdle.
