The Incheon Asian Games ended with Li, and Ding Ning assumed the role of the leader of the women's team, which was a very good opportunity for her to prove herself. It's a pity that Ding Ning, who has always been famous for his steadiness, stumbled in the foreign war. Facing Fukuhara Ai in the first set, Ding Ning exposed problems in preparation and state transfer. On the other hand, Fukuhara Ai has no psychological burden, dares to fight and is very decisive. In the face of the opponent's storm, Ding Ning's hand quality is not high, and his reaction is slow, and he lost two games in a row.
After all, there are obvious technical loopholes in Fukuhara Ai. Ding Ning entered the state in the second half, hitting a 9-0 in the third game and a 7-0 in the fourth game. At one time, he led by 9-3, and the game was about to be dragged into the deciding game. However, in the face of Fukuhara Ai's strong impact, Ding Ning was in a bit of a panic, and there were obvious problems with forehand catching short balls. In the end, Fukuhara Ai staged a big reversal, and 1-3 lost, losing to a Japanese star for the first time in his career.
Fortunately, Ding Ning still seized the opportunity in the fourth set, defeated Ishikawa Kasumi 3-0, saved the defeat and helped China win 3-/kloc-0. However, this defeat is still worth summing up for Ding Ning. Ding Ning, who lost to Feng Tianwei last year and Fukuhara Ai this year, is famous for his outstanding foreign wars. Especially at the moment when the competition between her and Liu for the No.2 female is becoming more and more fierce, the project she is best at has exposed problems. Liu, who has lost many times in the team competition, proved in the team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games that this is a big loss for Ding Ning.
