At the beginning of the match, Kodai Naraoka quickly took the initiative on the field with his superb skills and rich experience. Every swing of his racket is full of power and beauty, and every run seems so easy. And Li Shifeng doesn't seem to have entered the state yet, and the continuous mistakes have made him passive. At the end of the first game, Li Shifeng ended in defeat, and the audience outside the court all pinched a cold sweat for him.
However, Li Shifeng was not discouraged by this. He knows that as a top badminton player, he must learn to adjust himself in the face of adversity. He took a deep breath and got back on the field. This time, there was a more determined light in his eyes.
At the beginning of the second game, Li Shifeng began to gradually find his rhythm. He stepped up his defense against Kodai Naraoka while using his speed and agility to constantly look for flaws in his opponents. Kodai Naraoka was obviously a little caught off guard by Li Shifeng's changes, and his mistakes began to increase. Li Shifeng seized the opportunity and pulled back a game with a score of 21-15.
Entering the decisive game, Li Shifeng has completely entered the state. Every shot he hit was full of power, and every run seemed so precise. And Naraoka Kodai seems to have been suppressed by Li Shifeng's momentum, and he made mistakes one after another. In the end, Li Shifeng won another game with a score of 21-12, completed a shocking reversal, and successfully advanced to the finals.
