The knot was at its severest during tournaments. Very often, I would get to a final of an important tournament and choke and lose the final, even at times when I was supposed to win-on paper at least.
比赛期间情况尤为严重 经常 我闯入了一场重要比赛的决赛 突然发挥失常 输了决赛 哪怕理论上能赢的比赛都输了
That knot didn't go away. When it went away, it was only for very short periods of time. But I knew that the knot would go away.

我一蹶不振好几个月 不过最终 我还是挺过来了 只有付出 才有收获 我继续刻苦训练
In 1987, I met the same player in the final and this time I won. I was ecstatic, joyous, happier than I ever remember myself being. And at that moment, I said to myself, "it all paid off. It was all worth it.
