After the game, Ma Long said that it was relatively easy to play against opponents in the past two days. Teacher Qin would stand up many times, which can mobilize the players' feelings on the field.
Zhang Jike said frankly that because he rested very late after the game yesterday, there will be some physical and mental reactions, but today his hands feel okay and better than yesterday. He believes that his playing style still needs a long period of training and competition to accumulate, and his condition will slowly improve. Recently, he has had intermittent physical problems, including training and competition. He is indeed not in a good competitive state. Winning games on the field is the goal, because athletes can only accumulate confidence by constantly winning. Let's continue to play one game at a time.
