html In the early morning of August 23, in the men's singles semi-finals of the Danish Badminton Open, Chinese athlete Shi Yuqi played against Japanese player Naraoka. Shi Yuqi is the number one men's singles in China. His ranking has declined a lot after returning from the suspension. The game feels worse than before, and is constantly improving. Naraoka has made great progress in the past two years, has been tenacious in defense, sharp offense, and experienced in the past, which has caused great trouble for Shi Yuqi. After three hard battles, Shi Yuqi won 2-1 (21-15, 9-21, 24-22) and advanced to the finals. Congratulations to Shi Yuqi!
In this game, the first game was a duel between the spear and the shield, and the spear penetrated the shield. Shi Yuqi's mercury-like attack grasped Naraoka's extreme defense, one can kill and the other can defend, and the wind direction of the field is more conducive to attack. Shi Yuqi used repeated attacks to destroy the opponent's defense line, and first took the lead to establish a score and psychological advantage.
The second game is the victory of 's defensive counterattack 's play style. Naraoka Kou is only 21 years old. He upholds the spirit of Japanese athletes' indomitable and never giving up. Not only did he lose his first game, he was not discouraged, but he was more motivated. He used his repeated falls to resolve Shi Yuqi's fierce attack, forcing Shi Yuqi to change his mentality and make more mistakes. He found an opportunity to counterattack and tied the game with a huge advantage and fought into the decisive game.
The third game is a duel between cleverness and great wisdom. Shi Yuqi started 7-1. Just when fans thought Shi Yuqi was about to make great progress, Nara Okakoto wisely called a medical timeout, effectively interrupting Shi Yuqi's scoring rhythm and good feel. When he came back, the situation suddenly changed in the backcourt. Nara Okakoto was like a god assist in scoring and overtaking. The fans' hearts were hanging, and they were sweating for Shi Yuqi! Fortunately, Shi Yuqi was calm enough. He calmed down and dealt with his opponents, gradually found Naraoka's weakness, seized the opportunity of his physical strength and repeatedly landed the backhand bottom line and repeatedly came into effect, and the scores were stalemate. At the end of the moment, the atmosphere became hot. Shi Yuqi got two match points and was reversed by his opponent. At the most suffocating moment, Shi Yuqi held back. The key points were more profound. Naraoka's great success made the fans sweat. In this game, Naraoka tried all the means to adjust, wiped the floor, drank water, changed the ball, and suspended the medical treatment, but he still did not have the strong strength and advantage.
This is a difficult and meaningful game. Shi Yuqi, who was once the second in the world and dared to charge and fight a tough battle, is back! I felt cold when I saw many mistakes, but Shi Tou, who was hard-handed, did not give up. He tried every means to fight wits and courage with his opponent. I was really touched when I saw him roaring to celebrate his victory. After experiencing the double torture of injury and suspension, Shi Yuqi has matured and toughened. After three years (the last time was 2019), he reached the long-lost final again. Congratulations to Shi Yuqi again! At the same time, we also want to give applause to our powerful opponent, Nara Okakuda. It was his amazing defense that forced Shi Yuqi to the high level, making Shi Yuqi more confident in the finals.
Another semi-final, Malaysia No. 1 Li Zijia 2-0 (21-18, 21-15) defeated Singapore star Luo Jianyou. Li Zijia and Shi Yuqi play similarly, but he has stronger continuous offensive ability. The final is destined to be more difficult and exciting. Shi Yuqi stood up and showed his unyielding spirit and courage to win to compete with his opponent for every goal and every point. He will definitely be reborn with his kingly aura. Come on!
