Both Chen Long and Momota are usually more defensive than offensive players, and their defence, court coverage, and counter-attacking ability are so good when at their best , most opponents are wary of attacking them too much and either get drawn into long and often punishing rallies to their detriment or loses patience, get frustrated by their shots coming back repeatedly so much that they start to make errors both forced and unforced.
