This article is from the love of badminton tennis friends: big dirty wet bubbles
Last time I said in the article about a new Japanese star I liked, Yudai Watanabe, and this time we will talk about this player in detail.
Isamu Watanabe (right)
Yuta Watanabe was born on June 13, 1997, in Suginami-ku, Tokyo. The lad is not tall, only 167cm, weighing 56kg. Joined UNISYS in April 2016. Unisys players should be familiar to many of them, such as Kurimoto, Takahashi Sisters, Matsutomo Misaki, Okuhara Hope, Endo Daiyu, and Hayakawa Kenichi is also one of the strongest teams of Japanese companies (of course, the other team is Tonami Transport, where Kamura Sonoda is located).
However, it was embarrassing to find that it seemed that the female team members of the Japanese unisys company were more famous... Watanabe's hobby is actually スノーボード, and if you can read the fifty-tone chart, this is snowboard, snowboarding. But it is not surprising, after all, Japan is right, most of the time it is still very cold, but in Tokyo is so cold, and it is not the same as the legend... Well, don't care about these details. Practicing skiing is indeed a great help to physical coordination, and Watanabe seems to be a player with good coordination and flexibility.
Put a photo of Watanabe's bravery, everyone may not pay much attention to him, and may not know what he looks like. But in fact, he is not very handsome. But none of this matters, what matters is that in the semi-final of this year's Su Cup, he beat Zheng Siwei and Chen Qingchen with chicken blood.
Here's a prize-free Q&A: Guess what the new goddess Otori is from tonami?
Of course, Watanabe's ranking is not high, the men's doubles 26, mixed doubles 15, the men's singles has reached three digits, but this has nothing to do with his men's singles after that. It was a bit embarrassing to win a lot of bronze medals at the 2014 and 2015 Asian Youth Championships and the World Junior Championships.
Among them, in 2014 and 2015, the doubles event was cut by Zheng Siwei three times: respectively, the 2014 Asian Championship partner Kenno Mitsuhashi men's doubles semifinals lost to Zheng Siwei and Huang Kaixiang, the score was a bit miserable 10-21, 8-21, the 2014 World Championships (youth) partner Higashino Yusha semifinal mixed doubles lost to Zheng Siwei Chen Morning, the score was 19-21, 12-21, the 2015 World Championships partner Mitsuhashi Kenno men's doubles lost to Zheng Siwei and He Jiting, a little better than the last time, 13-21，16-21。 In addition, he also played singles at the 2015 Asian Championships, losing to Lin Guipu in the semi-finals, the score was 10-21, 12-21, and it seemed to be a bit miserable.
Isamu Watanabe / Higashino Yuki
Watanabe is holding a left-handed racket, the 2016 racket used Yonex zf2, the ball line is unknown, the sneakers are 65ex, and then in 2017 they were replaced by amx2 (but many Japanese players wear 65), doura zs are still using zf2 for a while after coming out, if I remember correctly, at least this year's Singapore Open was still zf2 (can't find the picture, the first round lost to Yang Bohan and Lu Jingyao). After that, I quickly changed it to doura zs, and I don't know when I changed it.
Brother technical characteristics, mainly fast, explosive power is also good. It feels like a rocket on your feet, ready to leave the earth's surface at any time. At the same time, the frequency on the hand is not low, and the technology is very good. If you just look at the collection, you will exclaim that there is a god-level figure appearing, which is actually quite similar to Chai Biao (I would like to say that I watch Chai Biao when I have time).
But there's no denying that this guy's mistakes (sometimes, not sometimes, all the time) are a bit too much. Of course, his mistakes are often related to his own speed partner's confused face, and many times it is also due to his own shot being too anxious to stand firm. However, my personal opinion is that it is still beneficial for Endo Daiyu to take a belt at present, and he can learn a little stability from Endo Daiyu, but the momentum still has to be there, otherwise like Endo Daiyu, it is more stable to deal with the players who have played, and those who can't fight can never beat this. But at present, it seems that Watanabe's problem is that there are too many mistakes, although there are a lot of good balls, but many times they are played at the cost of twice the mistakes, which is a bit uncorrected.
Then we can look at some diagrams, which can well illustrate the technical characteristics of Watanabe.
The first advantage: good sense of rushing, and faster continuous shooting in front of the net
All three are a combination of the 2017 Japan Corporate Competition playing Sakuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi. Although they lost... Well, this is a bit embarrassing, but the balls show that their abilities are uncompromising. In addition, this game was very strange, Kenshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda also lost to Yuki Kaneko and Takuto Inoue, but I watched the game, played three sets and looked like Kamura and Sonoda were tired, of course don't care about these details.
The ball above is a straight line after a continuous rapid cut of the waist, and then killed by Theo Daisuke Endo after pushing the ball, showing the ability and feel of the ball in front of the net.
This ball is thrown above the top of the opponent's backhand and immediately followed, and the speed of the chase and the quality of the shot and consistency are great.
This ball can more reflect the feel of the hand, after receiving the serve and pushing the ball to grab the top of the head, this is what the Cai team said to withdraw to seal the top of the head, and then the combination of soft and hard, after cutting the opponent back to the ball to wipe the net, it will also be very calm to continue to rub out the high-quality net front. Instead of being very panicked and picking it up, this may be related to his previous singles blood abuse, this kind of ball he has handled lightly.
Coupled with this, although it feels very painful every time I watch it, idols also have times when they capsize.
Looking at the speed and prediction of this shot, it seems that Endo Daiyu is a little stunned next to him... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The second advantage: the action consistency is good, and the technique is also great
The consistency of action is also shown in the second figure above. After watching his previous singles video, I felt that this kid was quite promising. In high school, his singles were basically pressed against his opponents. And the mood is more arrogant, to what point, if he starts the other side to attack, he basically does not defend, this point will be sent. In this way, they can often abuse each other bloodily... Hit each other just over 10,. For example, a round like this was taken from 2015's hit Nishino Tengshi.
The pre-net tactics directly deceived the opponent
Continuous consistency plus a false pick-and-play
The fact that there is movement in the ball is also well reflected in this Su Cup. In the first set of 7-3 leading this point, the continuous killing skateboard plus the change of the ball landing point made Zheng Siwei and Chen Qingchen have some discomfort and cannot rush up well to maintain the offensive advantage. That is to say, to lose, this ball you want to attack can be, but I return to the ball you want to run, it is not good to borrow power.
Generally speaking, the combination of rushing more fierce is more afraid of this kind of ball, which will reduce the frequency between the attacking side's attack and two beats, and at the same time make the opponent's ball less rushed - this kind of force-reducing ball is not easy to play and easy to get off the net - in other words, this Singapore match bubble hits Soka, and when playing Kamura/Garden Field, this line will be played to the extreme, we will talk about it another day.
The last fake action to pick the ball caused Zheng Siwei to start slowly (this gif is followed by the previous one, it is the same ball), killing the ball and going off the net
The third advantage: fast start-up and good strength
Mr. Cheng Yongmin said this, but I will use another example to illustrate.
This guy's leg strength is a bit against the sky for his weight, and there are often situations where there are jumps halfway across the pitch and then the height is amazing. When I watched the game in Singapore, because I was sitting at the back of the field, when I saw that he could jump half the field, I instantly felt that this guy was really good.....
For example, a gif like this, you can see that this two jumps in a row is very powerful.
Here I take a screenshot.
The first beat kills the ball in the overhead area to the second beat
The split ends in the third beat, and the jump heights on both occasions are great.
Of course, he also had a lot of problems, such as such a senseless mistake, directly hit the outside of the venue there is a wood.
Sometimes too much focus on acceleration and ignore partners. For example, this ball, the partner directly fainted, this ball in the counterattack to speed up, Endo Daiyu did not continue to follow up the bent Renada Kaigo, but a slow ball blocked to Kenshi Kamura, who stood well, and then the net handling was too soft. And at this time Watanabe is still trying to continue to accelerate, it seems that after he finished this shot, he hoped that Endo would withdraw obliquely to protect the top of his head and surf the Internet by himself, this did hit a little rashly, after all, Endo's handling is very safe but a little lacking in fierceness.... He was then topped over by the other side, Kamura, and ended up with Endo's throwing street.
Overall, there are not many talented players in Japan. In this way, Watanabe's talent is actually quite good. But for now, he has to solve the problem of how to control his mistakes so that he can play every game better, rather than just leaving us with the feeling of saying, "Ah, this ball, this player played well."
Another, a preview, the next I want to write about Chai Biao, this guy really makes me love and hate it...
