"He has a country on his shoulders!"
If he and Lin Dan were born in the same era, maybe he wouldn't have to carry so much.
In the just-concluded men's badminton singles competition, Chinese player Shi Yuqi unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals because he lost to foreign players.
However, what has been unappeased for a long time is that after Shi Yuqi's defeat, China has no one to play in this competition.
And in this game, the most sad thing is that Shi Yuqi ranks first in the world standings!
Many people will feel that badminton is not so difficult to play for us that we often play in our daily life.
Shi Yuqi is already the first in the world, how can he not even enter the top 8?
In fact, in the final analysis, the real reason for this incident has to start from his interview with reporters at the scene.
After the game, he told reporters that the state on the field today was very different from before.
When he's playing, he feels like he's being led by his opponent all the time.
He also told reporters that this competition is very important to him, and he wants to compete a little bit.
Before the competition, he would also do some sports to improve his condition, and now he has not achieved his wish, which is also his own lack of strength.
He also said that although it failed this time, it was also the beginning of the next one.
In fact, many viewers don't know that the badminton we usually play is completely different from the state of the players on the field when we play.
In TV shows, we can often see Lin Dan playing badminton while training underneath.
The shuttlecock was like artillery fire, directly smashing through the template, and the shuttlecock was in Lin Dan's hands, as if it had life, and he could fly as much as he wanted.
Combined with the scene of the doubles between Leung Wai Keng and Wang Yu a few days ago, the expressions of the two of them were as if they were going to eat their opponents.
The eyes were wide open, and every time the shuttlecock flew out of their hands, there was a sound of friction in the air.
In this way, badminton during the game is by no means what we know it is.
Secondly, after Lin Dan watched Shi Yuqi's first game, he was also caught by reporters for an interview.
When the reporter asked about his evaluation of his junior brother in this competition.
Lin Dan also affirmed him, but for a world-class champion like Lin Dan, he also discovered Shi Yuqi's problem at a glance.
He also said in the interview that Shi Yuqi is more defensive and this form may stand out in the group stage.
However, this style of play is not very useful when playing against top players.
Lin Dan also hopes that he can be stronger in the next games.
And when we come back again to savor this "top showdown".
From his state of play, it is not difficult to find that his physical strength has decreased a little, and there are many times when he receives the ball, his pace is noticeably slower.
We all know that the golden age of athletes is just a few years, and after a search of information.
I found that Shi Yuqi is not only 28 years old this year, but also in the early years, he also had many problems in his body because of training.
And when we look back at this foreign player again.
To be honest, don't look at this young man, but now he has won the 2023 World Championships.
I think, when you say this, everyone knows how high the gold content of "Shi Yuqi's game" is, right?
And when it comes to the historical confrontation between Shi Yuqi and Kunlavut, we have to mention.
In fact, as early as in the following national competitions, they have met many times.
Except for winning Shi Yuqi once in the group stage in 21, he was crushed and beaten by Shi Yuqi in the next three encounters.
However, when we get back to this game, let's take a look at the details on the pitch.
It is not difficult to find that this Thailand player actually studied a set of beats for Shi Yuqi.
After the start of the first game, Shi Yuqi and his opponent both adopted a conservative and tentative play, and the two of them proceeded smoothly, as if they wanted to find out each other's path first.
However, after you have been "playing for a while" back and forth, wait until the score on the field is tied 3-3!
Shi Yuqi began to gradually fall into the downwind, frequently dropping the ball in front of the net, allowing Kunlavut to score 2 points in a row, and the score was quickly beaten to 5-3.
However, although Shi Yuqi was also trying to find a way to tie the score, his thoughts seemed to be clarified by his opponent.
Every time the score is closer, the opponent will open the gap again because of an accidental mistake.
In the end, Kunlavut ended the first half of the first game with a score of 11-9.
And when the two rested, it seemed that the coach also gave Shi Yuqi a method at this time.
After Shi Yuqi came on the court, he was obviously much tighter, and the opponent who pressed him many times was in a dilemma.
However, when you let your guard down, that's when the other party overtakes you.
Shi Yuqi did not score more points under a series of onslaughts, but his movements became slower and slower, and sometimes he couldn't keep up because of a long ball.
On the other hand, at this time, Kunlavut was in a much more relaxed state, not only did he move in one go, but he was also able to fight back and constantly change his position.
Because of this, the score of the game was quickly stretched to 16-10.
However, despite such a large gap in scores, Xiaoshi still fought tenaciously.
While wiping the sweat with your clothes, you can make your pace faster.
However, perhaps because his physical strength has really declined, Shi Yuqi's "turnaround" did not come as scheduled.
Until the end, the score was still not recovered after all, and Shi Yuqi regretted defeat.
And as for the second game, in my words, it is.
Shi Yuqi wanted to use his technical advantages to make up for his lack of physical strength.
However, the opponent knows himself well, and the technique has already been thoroughly explored by the Thailand player.
Just like what was taught to us in spy movies:
It is not your lover who knows you well, but your enemy.
This result made all Chinese badminton fans cry.
You must know that Chinese badminton, in the eyes of other countries, is an insurmountable mountain.
Since the official recognition of badminton, there have been dozens of champions in China.
And Lin Dan, as a leader in the field of badminton, continues to win awards in competitions with his personal strength.
However, this time in Paris, China suffered such a powerful impact.
As a Chinese player in the field of badminton in China, he is now regrettably defeated.
This can't help but be reminiscent of the Olympics in '21, when the men's badminton singles also ended in a fiasco.
The failure of the two sessions is indeed extremely regrettable.
What do you think about this?
