At half-time, we had three points in the second and two points in the fourth to take a 5-2 lead.
In the first game, both sides mainly adapted to the ice surface, and did not want to create a complicated situation, and we scored 0 points to enter the even-numbered game and then met the chance. In the second game, the Norwegian team occupied a place in the middle, and we arranged the placeholder pots on both sides, and the Norwegian team then hung the pot into the center of the circle, and our second pot deviated, and the hanging pot knocked into the opponent's placeholder pot in the middle, helping the opponent to have another placeholder pot in the middle. Seeing this, Wang Zhiyu decisively cleared the obstacles, the passing of this pot was done well, Fei Xueqing's first pot was very well suspended, hidden behind our placeholder, the second pot Fei Xueqing chose two points in the center of the circle to contain the opponent, the opponent's Magnus was not successful, his own pot did not stay and did not dispose of our scoring pot, Xu Xiaoming hung steadily into the center of the circle to get 3 points, and we led the opponent 3-0 after two rounds between the two sides.

After arranging the protective position, the opponent chose to hang the play, but the effect was not good several times, we continued to hang in the middle position, Fei Xueqing's first pot power was less than the ideal position, and he lost the opportunity to contain two points. Xu Xiaoming's throwing effect was good, his pot only exposed 1/3 of the position, under the pressure Magnus made another mistake, and finally successfully got 1 point in the case of our three-point containment, and we still led 3-1 into the double-numbered game after the chance.
At the beginning of the fourth game, the opponent arranged two occupants in the middle, and we chose to suspend the center of the circle continuously. The opponent made a mistake in the third pot, and then Fei Xueqing also gave the opponent a chance to hit the key shot, and at the last moment, Magnus made a mistake to give us the opportunity to get a big score, Xu Xiaoming chose to pass in the last pot, but did not achieve a good effect, and the back hand failed to get a big score to end the game with 2 points, and the score came to a 5-1 lead.
