After the game, Deng Yaping and fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Wang Manyu's performance, and the coaching staff also said that they would take a serious approach to this issue.
In the game review, Wang Manyu was weak in the clash with Diaz, especially when he was leading 10-9 in the second game, and suddenly broke the line, causing the opponent to score 3 points in a row and finally lose the game. Deng Yaping pointed out in the comments that Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Chen Meng do not have much gap in technology, and the key to victory or defeat often depends on mentality. Wang Manyu seemed to have a problem with his mentality in this game, did not show the momentum he should have, and was suppressed by his opponent.

This point-to-the-point evaluation directly hit Wang Manyu's pain points, and also provided an important adjustment direction for the follow-up games.
