The 2023 All Japan Championship Kodai Naraoka suddenly withdrew from the competition, and many people wanted to see him and Momota Kento fight, but they didn't expect him to withdraw from the game and directly send Momota Kento to the finals, so what is the reason for Naraoka to withdraw from the game.
Many people say that he gave face to Kento Momota and guaranteed him a place in the A team, you must know that the Japanese men's singles A team has 4 places, but at present, Momota Kento is ranked 4th in the Japanese national team, even if he loses to Naraoka, it will not affect Momota Kento's national team ranking, and it is Changshan who was kicked out of the A team.
This ball is very important to both Naraoka and Momota Kento, I feel that Naraoka doesn't want to retire, if he really wants to retire, it is impossible to retire before the game, it should have been announced long ago, which shows that he is also very hesitant. Of course, at present, his strength is stronger than Momota Kento, the problem is that badminton does not completely value hard power, but also depends on the style of play and the state of the game, it is obvious that Momota Kento is also in very good shape now, and Naraoka is not absolutely sure that he can win Momota Kento.
Momota Kento and Naraoka's current style of play is mainly based on control, and both of them are good at defense, but Momota Kento has experienced a certain degree of decline in defense and speed as he gets older and has more injuries. Naraoka Kodai's style of play is kraft candy style, the defense is very good, the offense is very average, Momota Kento is not afraid of Naraoka's style of play, before Momota Kento won Luo Jianyou, Kunlavute, all of them are like this style of play, it can be seen that even if Momota Kento's strength declines, it is not ordinary people can win.
summary
There is only one possibility for Naraoka to give up the chance to win the national championship for the first time and to retire, that is, he doesn't want to fight with Kento Momota at this time, after all, Kento Momota played against him before and won him in the internal match, and if Naraoka loses to Kento Momota at this time, it will hit him harder, and his withdrawal is more like an escape. Momota Kento has obviously recovered a lot more than before, as long as the physical distribution problem is solved, it will be difficult for others to win against him, and he is optimistic about Momota Kento's performance next season.
