Dai Ziying finally won a medal in the competition.
Over the years, Xiao Dai's performance has conquered many fans, but in terms of competition results, it is always not so good.
But I like Dai Ziying, but I don't care about these. What I love is her wild ideas on the pitch, her bizarre lines, and her haunted fake moves.
Before Xiao Dai came out, everyone seemed to think that the so-called fake action was just a flower work on the field, and occasionally showing one or two would win applause, but it was a fantasy to win by relying on it.
But the emergence of Dai Ziying broke this concept. When Dai Ziying is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is not her excellent backhand, not her amazing abs, but her incomprehensible fake movements.
There are thousands of professional players, and there are many who can fake actions, why is only Dai Ziying the spokesperson for fake actions?
Some people say that this is because Xiao Dai has been in the field since he was a child and has developed such a habit. I would say that this is more because of Dai Ziying's personality.
Watching Xiao Dai play, it felt like she didn't seem to have such a strong desire to win or lose. On the field, you can play as you want, without considering whether it is appropriate, whether you can limit your opponent, whether you can score.
To sum up, no matter who the opponent is, I can fight as much as I want. Only with such a mentality can the fake action be integrated into its own skills and tactics to achieve the effect of doing whatever you want.
However, in the past few years of competition, Xiao Dai began to change his playing style for the sake of results. In order to win the game, she reduced the fake movements that she used frequently.
So this time, Xiao Dai can enter the final, which is not surprising at all. Her women's singles title battle with Chen Yufei is also the best badminton match I think during the Olympics.
In terms of strength, the two are evenly matched, and both played at a normal level in the final. Dai Ziying also controlled his mistakes well and dragged the game into the decider.
But sometimes, I will find that Xiao Dai is still the same Xiao Dai, and she wants to rely on technology and change, rather than endurance and physical fitness, which has never changed.
For example, in the early part of the third set, Xiao Dai returned to such a state, but he failed to control his own mistakes, and was pulled away by Yufei, and finally lost the game.
Maybe this is Xiao Dai's fate, in her peak moment, that kind of freewheeling style of play brings the enjoyment of victory.
But when the peak is gone and you have to face opponents of the same level, it becomes very difficult to win gorgeously. Once the state rises and falls, mistakes follow, and eventually swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.
I like Xiao Dai's state of not playing for the sake of winning or losing, but I also feel a little sorry for her no championship in the big game. But think about it is also relieved, like Xiao Dai, is to like her kind of stadium elf personality.
If you give up your own characteristics for the sake of results, is it still Dai Ziying?
