We will continue to do our best as usual, try our best to play every match in the future, and strive for the victory of every match. We also thank the fans and friends who have always supported and followed the team. Thank you!
Reporter: The two goals in the first half came from locating ball. Is there any special deployment? After the game, what is Wu’s guidance based on the real interaction with the fans?
Wu Jingui: Before the game, we expected that the opponent would have a formation arrangement of shrinking defense, so before the game, the coaching team urged the players to play more long shots and break through with the ball, and at the same time enhanced the investment in locating ball attack, try to break through the opponent’s intensive defense. The team performed very well today and won a victory against the pressure. In the future, we will continue to strive for more victories and strive to make the fans more happy.
Reporter: This game is the first zero-match match since the beginning of the second phase. Will the subsequent games continue to adhere to the tactical thinking of stable defense?
Wu Jingui: in the previous failed games, everyone can see that our staffing is not neat. We made a positive summary and adjusted deployment for several failed games. Today, every player on the court has very strong tactical execution and discipline. Only on the basis of a firm foothold in defense can our team play better on the offensive side.
