Dominate the badminton world

Chapter 292 Badminton Federation Year-End Finals

The World Badminton Super Series Finals is the highest-level individual event held by the World Badminton Federation every year.

After 12 Super Tournaments throughout the year, the top 8 players ranked in the top five in the Super Tournament must participate.

The points here do not refer to the points of the world rankings, but the points of the Super Tournament.

Compared with the Olympic Games held every four years, the Tangyu Cup, Sudirman Cup held every two years, and the World Championships in which hundreds of players participate every year, the finals of the Super Tournament are more like a match between the world's top badminton players. of Armageddon.

There is no long-term knockout match in the finals. The top 8 players in each event will be divided into two groups for a 4-person round-robin match. The top two in the group will advance directly to the semi-finals.

Although the number of times Wang Yu participated in the Open Championships was not many, they were all champions, so that his points just reached the 8th place, and he was qualified to participate in the finals.

Among them, the first place is naturally Li Zongwei, the second place is Tianer Xianyi, and the third place is Jorgensen.

In addition to Wang Yu, the Chinese team also has Wang Jianming, who is ranked seventh. He has participated in many competitions, resulting in a lot of points for him.

In the China Open, if Chen Long beats Wang Yu, then it may be Chen Long who will participate in the finals.

After Wang Yu returned to the training bureau for a week of training, he followed the coaches on the journey to the finals.

According to the regulations of the World Badminton Federation, each national association can only send two players at most. The Chinese team has a full participation in each individual event. There are 4 singles players and 6 pairs of doubles players, a total of 16 players.

The 2013 World Badminton Super Series Finals is the 6th. The venue of this event is Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is the third time that Malaysia hosts this event. The total prize money is as high as 50 US dollars.

The Chinese team arrived in Kuala Lumpur two days in advance, and then conducted routine inspections with all participating athletes.

The first three days of the competition were mainly group round-robin matches. There were four men's singles seed players, namely Li Zongwei, Tianer Kenichi, Jorgensen, and Indonesian player Tommy Sugiarto.

Wang Yu's team includes Tommy Wada Kenichi and another player from Indonesia, Sonny Kunkoro.

However, for some unknown reason, Sony Kuncoro did not participate in the finals, resulting in only 3 people in Wang Yu's team.

Wang Yu thinks it's not bad. With one less player, he can play three games less, which is a lot easier.

On the first day, that is, on the 11th, there was no match for Wang Yu. Wang Yu and his team played on the second day. The first day was mainly for practicing with Wang Jianming.

On the morning of the 12th, it was the match of Wang Yu's team. Wang Yu followed Xia Xuanze to the Kuala Lumpur Badminton Hall early and began to prepare for the day's match.

At 9:[-] local time, the men's singles group B group round robin officially started.

The first match was between Wang Yu and Tommy Sugiarto.

It was the first time for Wang Yu to fight against Tommy, but Wang Yu had heard of him. He was a second-generation Yu. His father was former Indonesian world champion and famous Indonesian badminton player Isaac Sugiarto .

"...on my right, Wang Yu, China, on my left, Tommy Sugiarto, Indonesia, Wang Yu served, the game started 0-0."

After all, it was the year-end finals. Every game was a duel between masters. Except for the arena, it was dark, and the audience was shrouded in shadows, but they could still feel the enthusiasm of the audience.

Although Wang Yu's temporary withdrawal from the Hong Kong Open caused dissatisfaction among many fans, it still did not affect Wang Yu's global popularity.

In addition, there are many Chinese in Malaysia, and there are many Chinese cheering for Wang Yu on the scene.

Wang Yu sent out a small ball, and Tommy took a step forward to flick the ball to the corner of Wang Yu's left front court. Left back field.

Tommy kicked down to the left backcourt, used a straight lob over his head, and lobbed the shuttlecock to Wang Yu's right frontcourt, heading straight for Wang Yu's right sideline.

As a result, the landing point of the badminton was very vague. The lineman opened his hands and immediately retracted them. After the referee asked, he stretched out his right hand again, and Wang Yu was stunned when he saw it.

"Change serve, 1 to 0."

As a line referee in the finals, it was the first time Wang Yu had seen him be so unprofessional.

However, this ball, from Wang Yu's eyesight and angle, did go out of bounds a bit, so there was no Hawkeye challenge.

Because of the Hawkeye challenge system, it has been officially put into use in badminton events since the World Badminton Finals.

Wang Yu didn't speak, picked up the badminton with his racket, hit it to Tommy, and then made preparations to receive the serve.

After Tommy served, Wang Yu clapped his hands and picked the badminton to the fucking right backcourt.

Tommy took a step to the right backcourt, Xiaotao hit a straight lob, and lobbed the shuttlecock to Wang Yu's frontcourt, and then Wang Yu picked up Tommy's backhand backcourt.

Seeing Wang Yu continue to pick the ball, Tommy suddenly sped up his spin, stared his body into the air, and hit a powerful smash.

boom!
The badminton was directly thrown to Wang Yu's right by Tommy, and it was killed outside the sideline on Wang Yu's right.

"The outside world."

This time the out-of-bounds was too obvious, and the linesman finally announced loudly without any hesitation.

"Change serve, 1 to 1."

Snapped!
After Wang Yu picked the ball, Tommy followed the shuttlecock to the backcourt, but did not catch it, and let the shuttlecock fall to the ground.

"Change serve, 5 to 7."

boom!
Wang Yu hit a high-explosive output with all his strength, staring at the badminton on the floor of Tommy's right court like a phantom.

"11 to 9, intermission."

Tommy's offensive ability is very strong, and his technical and tactical level is top-notch. If Wang Yu doesn't use super prediction, he won't have much advantage.

The winter in Malaysia is extremely warm, and the entire badminton hall feels like being soaked in warm water, making Wang Yu sweat all over his body.

Wang Yu walked down the field, took out a towel to wipe his face, then put it on his head, and took a big gulp of the energy drink.

For Wang Yu in this finals, the pressure mainly comes from Li Zongwei, because Li Zongwei is playing at home, Wang Yu feels that it must be difficult to play.

Soon Wang Yu and Tommy went to the field to compete again.

"Continue to play, 11 to 9."

After Wang Yu served the ball, he continued to fight with Tommy.

It was the first time Tommy and Wang Yu fought against each other, but Tommy knew that Wang Yu was very strong, and he wanted to see how strong Wang Yu was, so he played very aggressively.

boom!
Tommy seized the opportunity, and after Wang Yu jumped to the ground, he slapped the badminton to the rubber on Wang Yu's right court.

"Change serve, 19 to 20."

"Huh~" Tommy took a deep breath and sent the badminton to Wang Yu.

Seeing that the badminton had just passed the net, Wang Yu stepped forward and pushed Tommy's right backcourt.

Tommy was also fast, and immediately took a step sideways to the right backcourt, kicked his body into the air, and slammed a shot.

boom!
The badminton was shot out by Tommy at high speed and hit the net.

"At the end of the first game, Wang Yu won, 21 to 19."

When Tommy saw himself smashing the ball into the net and ruining the first game, an ugly look appeared on Tommy's face.
