On September 23, 2019, Tokyo, Japan, at 4 p.m. BJ, the World Cup team final began.

In the second set of the final, China's single Su Nian played against Japan's single Matsumoto Miki.

Miki Matsumoto scored two points against South Korea in the semi-finals and won the semi-finals for the Japanese team, her winning rate in the past two years has almost reached an astonishing point, in addition to the defeat against the Chinese team, she has almost reached the point of not losing whether it is a Japanese civil war or a foreign war, which makes her the star athlete with the most Japanese fans, and many Japanese fans see her as a hope to defeat China.

The venue for this final is exactly what Japan has prepared for next year's Olympic Games, and the venue can accommodate 10,000 people, with no seats, almost all of them are Japanese fans, and when the game has not started and the players have not yet entered, the stadium is already full of voices cheering for Miki Matsumoto.

It was the first time that Su Nian had encountered this kind of situation where all of them were away spectators, and she tried her best not to be disturbed from outside the field, and listened carefully to Coach Wang Liang's tactics.

"Remember, Matsumoto's ball speed is fast, don't fight her ball speed, spin up, pull her up, so she can't accelerate, understand?" Wang Liang is actually very nervous, Su Nian is the first time to stand on such an important competition field, which is also a very bold decision by the coaching staff.

Su Nian nodded, she didn't know if she had memorized the tactics assigned by the coach, she shook her head vigorously, the deafening shouts outside the field made her feel that she couldn't concentrate.

At the beginning of the game, Su Nian served first, swung short, and held his backhand, Matsumoto's extremely fast ball speed was indeed a great threat, and after continuous pressure, Su Nian returned the ball out of bounds.

On the second serve, Su Nian was too nervous, she knew that she would face a very difficult situation when she promised the coaching staff, but she didn't expect that standing on the court, the nervousness made her whole person stiff, and there was a mistake on the second serve.

Wang Liang, who was on the sidelines, shouted at Su Nian: "Don't be nervous!" But at this time, Su Nian's mind was confused, and the feeling in his hands before had been completely lost because of nervousness, not to mention dividing his energy to listen to the guidance of the coach on the sidelines.

This is the last game of the World Cup, the previous men's team has won, all the national table tennis players who went out this time sat on the sidelines to watch the game, and they all found Su Nian's nervousness, but at this time, no one can help Su Nian, only herself.

Including the commentary, I think it's incredible, Su Nian has never been nervous in the previous Open Championships or other international competitions, and he gives people a feeling of calmness at any time, and he didn't expect to be nervous this time until he made a mistake on the second serve.

This is normal, the pressure on the team competition is completely different from that of singles, especially in singles, and her performance will directly affect the victory of the whole team.

In the next few balls, Su Nian really lost control of the ball completely, she felt that her whole body was cold, the shouts of the audience seemed to detain her in a cover, all the sounds seemed to come from afar, the whole person lost consciousness, played completely by instinct, and soon, the score fell behind 0:6.

"What to do? What to do? Will the coaching staff call a timeout, and is it a little too early to call a timeout in the first game? Zhao Yuan, who was watching the game from the sidelines, felt that his breath was about to be held.

Jing Xing was also very nervous, but he still believed in Su Nian, "Trust her, she will adjust." ”

Su Nian also knew that this kind of tension was so stiff that her whole body stiffened, and the loss of feeling couldn't last long, so she tried her best to beat hard, trying her best to get her state back quickly.

Su Nian served, Matsumoto fought a backhand straight line, Su Nian made a judgment at the moment she returned the ball, took a little step to the right with her right leg, and directly crossed a straight line with her forehand, which caught Matsumoto Miki off guard.

"Beautiful!" The ball was hit, Jing Xing waved his arm vigorously, and finally slowly exhaled a breath.

The victory of this ball did not have the audience cheering for Su Nian, the whole audience was in Japanese, coupled with the prevalence of Japanese support culture, the uniform cheers made the teammates outside the court pinch a cold sweat for Su Nian.

Su Nian tried to concentrate her spirit, tried to eliminate the interference of cheers from the sidelines, and waited for Matsumoto's serve, she thought that the opponent would serve a long ball, and sure enough, the moment Matsumoto served, Su Nian quickly shifted, turned sideways directly, and burst with her forehand, making Matsumoto's steal a chance to attack.

Matsumoto's serve is particularly confusing, and her serve is changeable so that the opponent is unguardable, but this serve, Su Nian made a prediction in advance and directly attacked sideways to score.

Matsumoto Miki's second serve, Su Nian gently swung short, this ball looks a little high, Matsumoto wants to play a rush attack according to Su Nian's last ball, but Su Nian's return is very confusing, and the ball is indeed high on the front of the ball, so that Matsumoto thinks it is an opportunity, but from the side of the ball, this return ball is just over the net, and when it is half a ball to attack, it will return the ball to the net, Matsumoto Miki did not judge it, and the return ball really hung up the net wrong.

This ball affected the second ball, Su Nian's second board was short, Matsumoto hesitated, she didn't know if this ball was the same as the previous ball, it was this moment of hesitation that made her make a mistake.

"Hey!" The victory of this ball made Su Nian finally shout out to cheer himself up, table tennis is like this, it seems to be a ball or a win or loss of two balls, but in fact, the victory of this ball is likely to have been laid out before two or three balls, this is the charm of table tennis.

Su Nian chased 6 points in a row, and the score was tied 6:6.

The two people on the court are not so much a confrontation of table tennis as a confrontation of brainpower, Su Nian served, Matsumoto Miki calculated that Su Nian would send a long ball, and Su Nian also calculated that Matsumoto would calculate that she would serve a long ball, so her serve was a long ball, but at the moment of serving, she used the rotation of her body to add enough spin to the ball, Matsumoto only saw that it was a long ball, but she did not judge the rotation of the ball, she was in a hurry to turn sideways and exert force, causing the ball to go out of bounds.

"Beautiful!"

Matsumoto serves, Su Nian directly hit the forehand, but was beaten back by Matsumoto, this ball can be seen that after the two encounters, Matsumoto has a little preparation for Su Nian's forehand, Su Nian must do a better landing point or use other methods.

Another short mistake, although Su Nian had already mobilized herself as much as possible, but the pressure on the playing field still made her lose most of her hand, for a delicate sport like table tennis, a little mistake can lead to failure.

Matsumoto scored another point, which made the Japanese audience even more desperately shouting, and the voices of everyone in the stadium were drowned out.

In the next ball, continuous backhand holding, Su Nian was forced to change the line and make a mistake, and the score was 6:8.

Next, Matsumoto used his forehand strong attack and backhand bounce to score two points in a row, leading the score 10-8 and getting the game point in the first game.

Su Nian served, Matsumoto returned to defend a board, Su Nian attacked with a forehand, forcing Matsumoto to retreat, and then Su Nian continued to smash with a forehand, although Matsumoto used his feel to defend a board, the second board was still scored by Su Nian's smash, Matsumoto Miki's advantage is her fast attack near the platform, once she retreats, it is basically Su Nian's world, the score is 7:10.

Su Nian's second serve, she skillfully sent the ball to Matsumoto's forehand position, Matsumoto was not prepared, so he could only passively cut a board, Su Nian had already calculated the ball when he served, directly sideways, a board, the score was 8:10, these two balls let the Chinese team see the hope of a reversal, 5 rounds of the game, each game is very important.

It's a pity that Su Nian still didn't get rid of the tension, and there was a forehand error in the next ball, and he lost the first game 8:11.

On the whole, this game was because Su Nian was too nervous in the first half of the game and made too many mistakes, although he tied the score later, but Matsumoto, who was fighting at home, was obviously more stable.
