On March 22, Beijing time, the World Women's Curling World Championships semi-final qualifying tournament ushered in the semi-final qualifying competition, Wang Rui led the women's team to compete with Sweden again, and the winner directly advanced to the semi-finals. We had 7 wins and 5 losses in the round-robin matches, while Sweden had 9 wins and 3 losses. At half-time, we were down 5-2 and stolen points in the fourth and fifth games.
We are still Jiang Jiayi, Dong Ziqi, Han Yu, and Wang Rui's lineup today. At the beginning of the race, we started the game relatively easily, and we started to adapt to the ice track. Failing to clear the pot in the center of the opponent's circle in time, Hasselberg scored two points in the final stage to lead us 2-0. Coming to our first back game, three of the first four pots of both sides were in the center of the circle, and the situation became complicated, but McManus's first pot was opened in the center of the circle, and we still had 2 pots in the scoring area in the center of the circle, Hasselberg's double fly was unsuccessful, and Wang Rui scored 2 points in the last pot, and the score was tied 2-2.
In the third game, we were still in the back game, and the second player of the Swedish team fluctuated in the first pot and did not touch our pot. McManus then stuck the ball, and Han Yu thinned it off when he saw this. Hasselberg fluctuated in the last pot and only scored one point for not completing the cleanup, and we hope that Hasselberg's more hanging pots will reduce her success rate. In the fourth game, we came to the back phone meeting, and Han Yu completed the splitting pot, making two parallel pots in the center of our circle, giving us the opportunity to score points at the end. Hasselberg's two pots were well completed, Wang Rui's last pot fluctuated, did not win the opponent's pot, we were stolen 1 point, lost the double number of games, 2-4 behind.
In the fifth game of the first half, we were stolen and came to the back of the game, and Dong Ziqi also had ups and downs in this game, both pots did not complete the plan, and the opponent's three points were contained in the center of the circle. Captain Wang Rui was under pressure, knocked his pot to ensure that he did not lose big points, and the opponent scored another point, and we fell behind 2-5 at the end of the first half, but won back the double-numbered game.
