00:00 Yeah, it's not the thing that we expected but the opponent also played a good game today.

00:14 So I think we need to go back and work back our strategy again with each other and also

00:20 coaches and focus on the next game.

00:23 Guys, you beat them last year in three games.

00:26 This time, do you guys feel they changed anything?

00:30 For this time, I think their speed really pressured us and their smash really made us

00:39 to do some placing.

00:41 So I think that's the main thing that they won today.

00:45 You guys see sometimes you all could get on the attack but sometimes you all couldn't.

00:50 Did they do anything like prevent you all to attack more?

00:55 I think their shots really pressured us.

00:57 I think that's the one main thing that caused the game.

01:02 You guys didn't play for a while since the Asian Championships, right?

01:06 So coming into this tournament, first few matches were pretty decent for you guys.

01:12 Is there any area that you all feel like, okay, maybe a bit rusty just because you all

01:17 didn't play so long?

01:18 Usually we feel really excited to be back on court because quite a long time we never

01:24 participating in tournament.

01:26 I think positive thing is we got a lot of communication in court now and we discuss

01:33 with each other even when things goes wrong.

01:35 So I think this is the good things we learn from this tournament.

01:39 Moving forward, there's only a few more tournaments left before the Olympics.

01:46 How important do you think, you just mentioned this communication on court and all that.

01:50 How important do you think is to maintain this sort of good communication before the

01:55 Olympics?

01:56 I think it's really important because it's the both of us on court and only both of us

02:02 can let each other know the feelings and what's going on on court.

02:05 So hope to keep this going and even better and also work on ourselves also at the same

02:12 time.

02:13 In terms of physical condition, I mean just now there were some...

02:18 You guys would know your body is the best so physically how are you guys doing?

02:23 Good.

02:24 Yeah, physically I think everything is good just strategy wise we need to work on.

02:30 I think also left a few days to the next tournament so we just want to try to be more consistent.

02:38 Yeah.

02:39 Yeah.

02:40 Yeah.

02:41 Yeah.

02:42 Yeah.

02:43 Yeah.

02:44 Yeah.
