Dominate the badminton world

Chapter 370 Lost to Time

The news that Chen Long defeated Wang Yu again and won the men's singles championship of the All England Open was soon released on the headlines of major media.

So far, Chen Long has proved himself with his sonorous and powerful ball skills. He is capable of defeating Wang Yu, and he does not need to rely on Wang Yu to hand the ball as rumored on the Internet.

After returning to China, Chen Long began to rest. Although he won the battle with Wang Yu, he was exhausted. It can be said that his body was seriously overdrawn. He didn't even have the Indian Open held in New Delhi, India on March 3th. join.

There is not much problem with Wang Yu's good health. After returning to China, he continued to train. On March 3, together with Lin Dan, Wang Jianming and others, he arrived in India with the National Yu team, preparing to participate in the India Open.

On March 3, the qualifying round of the India Open started, and Wang Yu was waiting for the first round match on the 24th.

After five days of competition, Wang Yu reached the final as usual, and the one who reached the final in the lower half was Denmark's talented teenager Axelsen.

In men's doubles, Cheng Yanchen and Long Haotian also successfully reached the final of the Open again, and their opponents were Indonesian men's doubles players, Mohd Ahsan and Setiawan.

On March 3, the final of the India Open started.

In the men's doubles final that Wang Yu was concerned about, Cheng Yanchen and Long Haotian resisted the pressure and fought with their opponents throughout the court, fully demonstrating the Chinese team's spirit of not admitting defeat.

In the end, through the unremitting efforts of Cheng Yanchen and Long Haotian, they defeated their opponents 16 to 21 in the first game, 23 to 21 in the second game, and 21 to 18 in the deciding game, and won the first super championship of their careers .

Seeing Cheng Yanchen and Long Haotian winning the championship, Wang Yu was sincerely happy for them.

After the competition, when the reporter interviewed Cheng Yanchen, he said with tears: "The person I need to thank most is Wang Yu. Without Brother Yu's whipping and encouragement, we would not have won this championship so quickly..."

After the men's doubles, the match between Wang Yu and Axelsen also followed.

Ansailong is in a period of rising strength, but now Ansailong is still not Wang Yu's opponent, and the gap between him and Wang Yu is not small.

In the end, Axelsen was defeated by Wang Yu 21-13 in the first game and 21-10 in the second game. Wang Yu also successfully defended the title of India Open.

March 3 is the Malaysian Open, and Chen Long still did not participate in the competition.

After Wang Yu and the others finished the India Open, they immediately flew to Malaysia to participate in the competition.

Five days later, the semi-finals of the Malaysia Open ended. In the men's singles, Wang Yu narrowly beat Lee Chong Wei 19-21 in the final with 25-23 in the first game, 21-18 in the second game, and entered the final.

Lin Dan also easily defeated Jorgensen in the semi-finals and also reached the final.

This is Wang Yu's second encounter with Lin Dan in the international arena after the Incheon Asian Games.

Under the introduction of the host, Wang Yu took the lead to walk out of the athlete's passage, and at the same time, the audience cheered all over the sky, shouting Wang Yu's name.

When Wang Yu put down his bag and came to the side of the referee on the court, the host called Lin Dan's name again, and then Lin Dan, dressed in a pink jersey, walked out from the athlete's tunnel.

With the appearance of Lin Dan, the scene boiled up again. It can be seen that Lin Dan's popularity has not expired at all, and he still has many fans around the world.

After Lin Dan came to the field, the referee called Wang Yu and Lin Dan to take sides together, and then the two warmed up.

"Isn't Wang Yu fainting this time?"

"If I'm fainting this time, I can't justify it!"

"Finally we can see Wang Yu and Lin Dan show off."

After the warm-up between Wang Yu and Lin Dan, the referee announced: "... Lin Dan serves, the game starts, 0-0."

Lin Dan sent the badminton to Wang Yu's No. 2 area, and Wang Yu immediately took a step to the right and slashed the badminton towards Lin Dan's right backcourt.

But when Lin Dan stepped back, instead of catching the ball, he let the badminton fall to the ground.

"The outside world."

"1-0."

……

After Lin Dan sent the ball, Wang Yu stepped forward with his right foot and rubbed the badminton to Lin Dan's right front court. Then Lin Dan also took a step in the right front court, and backhanded the badminton obliquely to Wang Yu's right back court.

Wang Yu came to the right backcourt, and Xiaotiao hit a gravity smash, and the shuttlecock went straight to the left court of Lin Dan.

Lin Dan stepped to the left, stretched out his racket, and blocked Wang Yu's smash to Wang Yu's right front court.

Wang Yu quickly ran to the right front court, chose to continue to release the ball to Lin Dan, and put the badminton back to Lin Dan's left front court, and after all, it was posted on the net.

Seeing this, Lin Dan hurriedly kicked towards the left front court, picked up the badminton vigorously, and hit a super high and long shot.

Wang Yu followed the shuttlecock to the back court, immediately jumped into the air, and violently killed the shuttlecock from the air.

boom!
The badminton was quickly shot out by Wang Yu in a straight line and went straight to Lin Dan's left side.

But this shot happened to hit Lin Dan's hand, and Lin Dan blocked it with his hand, causing the badminton to quickly fall towards Wang Yu's right front court.

After landing, Wang Yu quickly rushed to the right front field, and then made a diving save.

Before the shuttlecock landed, although Wang Yu caught the shuttlecock, it blocked the net and hung it down again.

"At the end of the first game, Lin Dan won, 22 to 20."

Relying on his seasoned experience, Lin Dan narrowly beat Wang Yu in the first game, bringing a more exciting game to the audience.

But in the second game, Lin Dan and Wang Yu could still play inextricably in the first half, but in the second half, Wang Yu gradually opened up the score and Lin Dan.

With Lin Dan intentionally letting go of the second game, Wang Yu quickly won the second game 21-13 and tied Lin Dan 1-1.

"Lin Dan is really old. If he wants to go all out, it is obviously impossible to win Wang Yu in two rounds. The most sensible choice is to let go of the second round."

"Finally, it's time for Wang Yu and Lin Dan's decisive game again. There shouldn't be any problems this time!"

"I'm really afraid that Wang Yu will suddenly faint again. Please don't faint again. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Under the nervous gaze of the audience, Wang Yu felt like a thorn in his body, which made Wang Yu smile bitterly. Thinking of his fainting in the final against Lin Dan in the Asian Games, Wang Yu knew that the audience was afraid that he would faint again.

It wasn't until two minutes later that Wang Yu and Lin Dan took out their rackets and walked onto the field that the audience's heart was relieved, and immediately there was a roar of cheers.

"Come on, Wang Yu, come on, Wang Yu!"

"Lin Dan, Lin Dan..."

"The final match begins, 0 to 0." After the referee announced the start of the report, all the audience watched quietly with anticipation.

But not long after the game started, something unexpected happened to the audience.

As soon as the game started, within a few minutes, Lin Dan began to make frequent mistakes, picking the ball out of bounds several times in succession, and Wang Yu actually led Lin Dan 9-1, leaving the audience dumbfounded.

Fortunately, after Lin Dan made adjustments, he slowly caught up with the score, but in the second half, Lin Dan was already powerless because of his severe physical decline.

In the end, Wang Yu easily defeated Lin Dan with a score of 21-11 in the deciding game.

No one expected such a result, but if you think about it a little, everyone will find that Lin Dan has already consumed a lot of physical energy in the first half of the first and second games.

It was also at this time that everyone realized that it has been 15 years now, Lin Dan is now 32 years old, and he is no longer the super Dan who was all-powerful on the field...

"Time is not forgiving!"

"Lin Dan still lost to time after all, it's really sad."

"Lin Dan and Wang Yu are not from the same era, but we want to see them present me with a battle of the century. We take it for granted."

Lin Dan lost, but he smiled and went forward to shake hands with Wang Yu. When he looked at Wang Yu, his eyes were full of encouragement and admiration, just like a senior brother.

Wang Yu also realized at this moment that the battle between him and Lin Dan came too late.

"Maybe it's God's will!" Even if it was a replay, Wang Yu still couldn't meet Lin Dan in his prime in the game, which made Wang Yu a little regretful.

The only thing that comforts Wang Yu is that there is such a strong opponent as Chen Long, which makes him not so lonely.

After the Malaysia Open, Wang Yu and the others moved to Singapore to participate in the Singapore Badminton Open from April 4th to 7th.
