After the German Open, malicious gossip regarding Wang Chuqin was rampant within the team. People said that his spot was a complete waste. They said his victory in Sweden was just a fluke, and the moment he ran into Brother Dong, he instantly reverted to his true form. They said he was clinging to Captain Long and relying on the women's team—and relying on one woman wasn't enough, he needed two to be safe. In short, it was all extremely vicious.
Upon his return, Wang Datou, who was already feeling low, was further provoked by these rumors until everything he saw irritated him.
Ma Long didn't criticize Datou for failing to secure a result. He had watched the livestream of the matches between Datou and Xiaopang during the German Open, and both players had played without any faults; Datou had also given it his absolute all.
