Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping defeated South Korean world champions Seo Seung-jae and Choi Yoo-hyun 21-16, 17-21, 21-15 after a fierce battle of one hour and 24 minutes, scoring a valuable point for the Chinese team and helping the camp take a 1-0 lead. Among them, at the beginning of the 3rd game, the referee awarded Huang Dongping a red card and a penalty of one point at the beginning, and then the game trend clearly felt that Huang Dongping was more sharp in front of the net next, and netizens joked that "Dongping is angry, and the consequences are very serious!"
The toilet is overtime due to menstrual issues. In an interview after the game, Huang Dongping explained the reason for the red card and her thoughts at the time: "I went to the bathroom and the referee said I would be back in a minute, but I rushed back and forth, and it may have been overtime." "When I came back, the referee gave me a red card and gave me a point, which I felt a little inexplicable and unconvinced. But it was also at that moment that I told myself that this point had to be taken back from me personally. The fighting spirit of the whole person was ignited at once. ”
Feng Yanzhe chose to deal with it calmly at the critical stage of the game: "Everyone was very tired in the third game, so I wanted to adjust myself at that juncture and relax my spirit a little. Whoever can be calmer and more focused will be able to take the lead in the tug-of-war. Feng Yanzhe also called a medical timeout due to thigh discomfort during the game, he said: "The running range is large on the key points, and the muscles react a little. But at that time, I didn't care about any pain, I just wanted to resist it and fight for the team. ”
The new cycle of the Phoenix Olympics starts again. In the knockout stage of this year's Suzhou Cup, the Phoenix team won all three matches, and their stable performance was impressive, Huang Dongping said: "This is the first major competition in the new Olympic cycle, which means a lot to me. At the age of 30, I have already set off on my journey, and I believe that there will be more different surprises in the future. ”
Feng Yanzhe also looks forward to the new cycle: "The last cycle has turned the page, and our first Olympic cycle is not complete. Now it's time to start all over again, and we will continue to find ourselves, start anew, and continue to be who we are. ”
