Dominate the badminton world

Chapter 336 Participating in a world-class competition for the first time

At 5:19 pm on May 7th, the match between the Chinese team and the Chinese local team Taipei officially started. The first match was Chen Long vs. Zhou Tiancheng.

Under the influence of Wang Yu, Chen Long's strength has been greatly improved. At this moment, Zhou Tiancheng is not Chen Long's opponent at all, which directly prevents him from scoring double figures in the two rounds.

The number one men's singles of the Taipei team was ruthlessly crushed by the mainland athletes in full view, and lost the first game.

In the second match, Fu Haifeng and Zhang Nan were invincible and easily crushed their opponents. However, there was one person in the opponent who was a bit special. He was a doubles player from the Taipei team. His name was Chen Honglin. He was special because he was almost the only one. A badminton player who plays with his eyes.

As for the next game, Lin Dan had no suspense. Even Cheng Yanchen and Long Haotian played their due level after a day of adjustment and familiarization with the environment, and defeated the second men's doubles of the Taipei team with absolute strength.

In the last men's singles match, Du Pengyu did not have any pressure, and finally completed five matches and five wins against the Taipei team, letting the Taipei team know the gap between the local team and the national team.

The last game of the Chinese team in the group stage was on May 5, also at 20 pm, against the Russian team.

The strength of the Russian team can be said to be the weakest in Group D. It is not an exaggeration to say that the first men's doubles is slightly stronger, but it is not the opponent of Fu Haifeng and Zhang Nan. Hard work won the game.

In the final two places in Group D, besides the Chinese team, there were also the French team, the Russian team and the Taipei team, who lost their qualifications to continue the competition.

After the group stage, the eight countries that qualified were China, France, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Denmark, South Korea and Japan.

5月21日的时候，是尤伯杯的1/4决赛，汤姆斯杯的1/4决赛时间是5月22日。

Wang Yu and the others were also at the scene of the quarter-finals of the Uber Cup, cheering for their female players.

"Good shot, come on Sister Wang!" Cheng Yanchen couldn't help but yelled when he saw Wang Shixian score, and then blurted out to Wang Yu: "Brother Yu, do you know how the Uber Cup came about?"

Wang Yu was taken aback, and looked at Cheng Yanchen like an idiot. ""

Cheng Yanchen also seemed to realize something was wrong, and said awkwardly: "The Uber Cup is a women's team competition, and I usually don't pay much attention to it..."

"The Uber Cup was donated by Mrs. Uber, a famous badminton player in the 30s, to the International Badminton Federation in 1956. Like the Thomas Cup, it is held every two years. I searched for it on the Internet." Wang Yu gave Cheng Yanchen a white look, and said : "For the national team, you don't even know these things, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Hey... I got it, I got it, I'll check it myself." Cheng Yanchen was still grinning, and continued to cheer for Wang Shixian, who was valiant on the court.

Seeing Cheng Yanchen's appearance like a little boy, Chen Long raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face froze a lot.

"Shixian, come on, Shixian, the best!" Chen Long gritted his teeth, held the national flag in his hand, and stood up suddenly, his voice immediately drowning out Cheng Yanchen's.

Seeing this scene, everyone around thought it was funny, Wang Yu also shook his head slightly, slapped Cheng Yanchen on the shoulder, and said, "You better restrain yourself."

"Haha." Cheng Yanchen shrank his neck and said, "I was so excited that I forgot that she was Brother Long's girlfriend, haha."

The competition was still going on. Compared with everyone else, Wang Yu seemed to be in agreement, because he knew that their women's team would beat the Japanese team in this Uber Cup and win the Uber Cup again.

"The next thing is to watch the performance of our men's team. Our Chinese team both won the championship, that's perfect." Wang Yu still smiled, just watched the field quietly, applauding from time to time.

5月22日12点，汤姆斯杯的1/4决赛正式开战，其中中国队抽到了泰国队，在31号场地进行比赛。

Also playing at the same time are the Danish and French teams on Site 33.

As for Japan and Malaysia, as well as South Korea and Indonesia, the game is scheduled for 6 pm.

The current strength of the Thai team is not too strong. The first men's singles is Posana, who is also Wang Yu's defeat, but Wang Yu still did not play.

In the first match, Chen Long took the lead against Posana.

In the end, the Chinese team crushed the Thai team with a big score of 3-0. Chai Biao and Hong Wei were arranged to replace Cheng Yanchen and Long Haotian, but they didn't even play.

After the quarter-finals, apart from China, the other countries that advanced were Japan, Denmark, and Indonesia.

In Wang Yu's memory, the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals should have been the Japanese team, but now it has become the Danish team.

To everyone's surprise, the Malaysian team led by Lee Chong Wei lost to the Japanese team 1-4 in the quarter-finals and was eliminated miserably!
Although Lee Chong Wei beat Kenichi Tian Er 21-15, 21-16 in the first round, it was still not a one-man game, and he could not save his team.

"Interesting." Wang Yu lay on the bed, watching the replay of the game on TV, with thought in his eyes.

"It seems that because of my appearance, there was a deviation in the development of the matter." Wang Yu also did not expect that the opponent in the semi-finals this time was not the Japanese team.

"That's good, if our men's and women's teams beat the Japanese team in the final, it will be fun!" Wang Yu smiled, turned off the TV, went to bed and rested, recharged his batteries, and prepared for tomorrow's game.

On May 5, the semi-finals of the Thomas Cup began. The first game was the match between the Chinese team and the Danish team.

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team's roster finally changed. Wang Yu, as the first men's singles, made his debut in the Thomas Cup.

Wang Yu's opponent is Jorgensen, the number one men's singles player of the Danish team. This is already the fourth match between Wang Yu and Jorgensen. Unfortunately, Jorgensen lost to Wang Yu in all the previous three matches.

With Wang Yu's appearance, the atmosphere of the audience seemed to be ignited, and a clamor instantly invaded the entire arena.

It's just that the voice was not too enthusiastic in Wang Yu's ears. The reason is that the audience at the scene was still a little less, and there were still many seats vacant.

Wang Yu also understands that this is India after all, and the audience for badminton is limited. Most of these people have limited financial ability. There are many fans who want to watch the game, but they all want to save the money for buying tickets. Tickets for the final.

Wang Yu wore a fluorescent green jersey and walked out of the athlete's passage with a bag on his back. The surroundings were pitch black, which made Wang Yu's figure stand out under the spotlight.

"Huh~" This is Wang Yu's first time to participate in a world-class competition, which makes Wang Yu's heart fluctuate.

Not nervous, but excited!
