In the semi-finals of the Uber Cup on May 4, the Chinese team played the Japanese team. After the match between Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan and Nami Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida, the players on both sides cried.
At the beginning of this match, Nami Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida played very relaxed, while Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan played a little tight. The goats won the first game 21-14.
In the second game, the Fanchen combination found a way to score, they did a good job of defense, played rhythm, led all the way, and pulled back a game 21-13.
In fact, at this time, everyone is very calm, everyone is used to badminton games, and they generally play one game and put one game and fight the third game.
Sure enough, the third game was full of sparks. Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan led 5-2, 10-8 at the beginning, but when they were about to exchange venues, Naomi Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida scored three points in a row to overtake 11-10.
After that, Naomi Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida scored five points in a row to make it 18-12 after leading 13-12. Seeing that the Chinese team is going to lose this game. In the last Uber Cup final, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan lost the second set, and the Chinese women's team missed the Uber Cup, will history repeat itself?
Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan said "no". At this time, they began to exert their might, chasing 5 points in a row, and magically chased 18 draws.
However, Nami Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida are not fuel-efficient lamps either, they continued to press Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan three times in a row 19-18, 20-19, 21-20, maintain the lead, and get two set points.
Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan's will was as hard as steel, they equalized one by one, and after 21 draws, they got the first set point. In the end, Nami Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida had psychological fluctuations, returned the ball out of bounds, and Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan achieved a super reversal 23-21.
This match is very crucial, because Chen Yufei won the first set 2-0 Aya Ohori, after winning this duel between pairs, the Chinese women's team is currently leading 2:0 and there is no suspense in winning the semifinals.
Because the game was too intense and too crucial, after the final ball landed, the players on both sides cried. Interestingly, they cry in different ways.
After Chen Qingchen celebrated lying on the ground, he got up and cried bitterly, crying unscrupulously and unabashedly.
Shida Chiyo still had a smile on his face when he shook hands with Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan and the referee, but turned around, quietly wiped the tears from his face with his hand, and continued to put on his trademark smile.
When Jia Yifan said in an interview that he trusted each other with Chen Qingchen, he suddenly couldn't speak, and tears burst out of his eyes, rolling from the corners of his eyes to the corners of his nose and then to his chin. In front of the camera, Jia Yifan was embarrassed to wipe his eyes directly, so he had to build a dam next to his nose with his fingers, pretending to wipe his sweat, but in fact, he intercepted tears. However, the tears were really turbulent, and they still continued to flow downward, so she had to pull up the collar of her top and wipe her chin twice in front of the camera.
The footage of Nami Matsuyama crying was not captured, but the last two goals were her mistakes, and she must have cried more than anyone else after the game.
Human beings are really complex creatures, they cry when they win, and they cry when they lose. To be honest, the last ball landed, the person with moist eyes, and a me in front of the TV. Are you crying?
