Dominate the badminton world

Chapter 166 Indonesian Open

After returning to Beijing by plane, Wang Yu hurriedly followed the team to Jakarta, Indonesia to participate in the Indonesian Badminton Open in the afternoon.

This is Wang Yu's first time going abroad to participate in a competition, and the excitement in his heart is beyond words.

Because there are many super badminton players participating in this Open, besides Li Zongwei and Lin Dan, Taufik as the host also participated in this competition impressively.

When he came to Indonesia, Wang Yu stayed in the hotel arranged by the Indonesian side with his teammates with anticipation.

On the morning of June 6, all participating athletes underwent corresponding physical fitness tests. After a day of testing, all athletes passed the test and were ready for the competition.

The main match will be held on the 12th, with the opening ceremony at [-] o'clock and the official competition at [-] o'clock.

Under the leadership of the coaching team, Wang Yu followed the team to the tall and majestic cylindrical gymnasium. There were many advertisements that Wang Yu could not understand. They play ball.

Many fans who did not buy tickets raised flags outside the stadium to greet the athletes and cheer for their favorite players.

They crowded outside the railing, and the security guards blocked their bodies, but they couldn't stop their enthusiasm.

Walking in the team, Wang Yu heard someone calling the names of Lin Dan and Chen Long in Chinese, but most of them were cheering for their own badminton players.

Entering the interior of the stadium, the lights are bright, and the interior space is no less than that of the Taipei Arena. There are many seats in the auditorium, which can seat at least [-] people.

What surprised Wang Yu the most was that even though today was just the opening ceremony and the qualifiers, the entire venue was still full, densely packed with people, making the inside of the venue extremely lively.

Wang Yu's greatest feeling is that the enthusiasm of the Indonesian people for badminton is too high, and their love for badminton can be seen from the crowds outside the stadium.

During the opening ceremony, Wang Yu saw many familiar faces, but it was the first time he saw them with his own eyes, including Li Zongwei who stood at the forefront of the Malaysian team.

There is also Taufik in front of the Indonesian team, and even Wang Yu saw the very young Kento Momota at the position of the Japanese team.

After the opening ceremony, there will be the qualifiers, which are prepared for athletes who don’t have enough points in the world rankings. Like Chen Long and Li Zongwei, they don’t need to participate in the qualifiers. They can directly participate in the first round after the qualifiers are over.

However, Wang Yu is not the only one who needs to participate in the qualifiers for the men's singles of the Chinese team. Lin Dan is also there. Because he has not participated in the competition for a long time, he does not have enough points and his ranking has dropped too much.

In the qualifiers, Lin Dan was in front of Wang Yu, and Lin Dan's opponent was Kento Momota of the Japanese team.

At this time, Kento Momota hadn't grown up yet, and was sent away by Lin Dan with a big score of 2-0 in the qualifiers, and suffered a tragic first round.

Wang Yu's opponent is a native Indonesian badminton player named Prannoy Hasena Sunil Kumar, who is more than a year older than Wang Yu, looks very dark, and has a figure comparable to Wang Yu , to be thinner.

This person is known as the killer of heavenly kings. According to the original historical process, Plannoy will win the qualifiers and then enter the first round to defeat Taufik.

Taufik will also choose to retire after this competition, that is to say, this Indonesia Badminton Open will be Taufik's last battle!
Wang Yu wants to play against Taufik, this is the only chance, so he must defeat Plannoy, and then replace Plannoy, becoming the man who ends Taufik's badminton career.

Wang Yu and Plannoy are both teenagers. When they saw the two walking onto the field with rackets, the audience had both expectations and passion, but their enthusiasm was for Plannoy, not Wang Yu.

It was the first time for Plannoy to see Wang Yu, but he also knew that Wang Yu was the champion of the Asian Championships two months ago, but he didn't take it too seriously.

He had watched the final between Wang Yu and Du Pengyu in the Asian Championships, and he felt that Wang Yu's victory was entirely due to his teammates.

After picking sides, Wang Yu and Prannoy began to warm up for the high ball.

In fact, Wang Yu was not too confident, after all, he had not participated in training for a month in order to prepare for the college entrance examination.

"We must win him, otherwise there will be no chance to play against Taufik in the future." This is the wish in Wang Yu's heart. He must seize this opportunity, otherwise there will be regrets.

After Prannoy and Wang Yu finished warming up, the referee announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, on my right, Prannoy, the Indonesian team."

Prannoy raised his racket and waved to the audience with a confident smile on his face.

"Come on, Plannoy!" Seeing that the game was about to start, a large number of spectators were cheering for Plannoy, with constant cheers.

"On my left, Wang Yu, the Chinese team." When the referee introduced Wang Yu, the voice outside the court instantly weakened.

Wang Yu couldn't help smiling wryly, after all, it was someone else's home court.

"Prannoy serves, game starts, 0-0."

After Prannoy served, Wang Yu stretched out his racket to rub the ball.

"Let's see how your net skills are?" Plannoy held the racket backhand, stepped to the left, and tentatively rubbed the badminton back to Wang Yu.

Immediately, Wang Yu kicked out with one step, bent his elbows and twisted the handle of the racket, and hooked the shuttlecock to Plannoy's right front court.

"Oops, the hook is so good?" Plannoy quickly stepped to the right, stretched out his racket, and could only pick the ball for Wang Yu.

Wang Yu spun around, came to the left backcourt in small steps, then took off and made a heavy kill.

boom!
The badminton was slashed by Wang Yu to Plannoy's left half, which surprised Plannoy.

"Crab, so fast!" Plannoy immediately stretched out his racket to the left to block the ball, but blocked the badminton out of bounds.

"Change serve, 1 to 0."

"The frontcourt skills are not weak, and the smash is not a small threat. It seems that it is not easy to play." Plannoy hit the ball to Wang Yu, putting away his underestimation.

The characteristic of Plannoy's playing is that he is aggressive and likes to grab the net. After Wang Yu sent a small ball, he immediately stepped forward and chose to hit Wang Yu's ball.

After the ball passed the net, Prannoy kicked it out with one step, leveled the racket in his hand, and at the moment of hitting the ball, exerted force with his wrist and fingers, and quickly pushed the badminton to the direction of Wang Yu's right backcourt.

However, when the badminton was flying halfway, Wang Yu immediately jumped horizontally to the right, swung the racket in his hand, and slammed it vigorously.

boom!
The badminton was directly intercepted by Wang Yu, smashed in a straight line, and went straight to the sideline of Plannoy's right court.

Although Prannoy's center of gravity was also on the right half, he didn't expect Wang Yu to react so fast at all. He could only subconsciously use conditioned reflex to catch the ball, and actually blocked Wang Yu's ball.

boom!
In the next moment, Wang Yu made another shot and killed the badminton on Plannoy's left court.

"2-0."

"The strength is not weak, try pushing again." Plannoy hit the ball to Wang Yu again, and continued to prepare to receive the serve.

After Wang Yu served the ball, Plannoy continued to throw the ball at Wang Yu's, this time the direction was Wang Yu's left backcourt.

After Prannoy pushed the shuttlecock, Wang Yu jumped to the left again and used his overhead smash to intercept.

boom!
In this shot, the badminton was nailed to Plannoy's right field by Wang Yu, and he didn't even touch the badminton.

"Fuck, what's the reaction?"
