Research on the Technical and Tactical Characteristics of Li Shifeng, the Badminton Champion of the Hangzhou Asian Games

Abstract

This paper takes Li Shifeng, the men's singles champion of badminton at the Hangzhou Asian Games, as the research object. Through video analysis and data statistics, it systematically analyzes his serve and return serve techniques, as well as the characteristics of his forecourt, midcourt, and backcourt tactics and techniques during the competition. The research finds that Li Shifeng's core serve strategy is the backhand serve to the short service court, combined with side-spin and short-distance serves to form a tactical advantage. His return serves mainly consist of net shots and push shots, with the third shot connecting with techniques such as chop, push, lift, and smash to form a diversified offensive system. In the forecourt, he controls the rhythm with net shots; in the midcourt, he switches between defense and offense through net blocks and clear shots; in the backcourt, he mainly scores with powerful smashes, supplemented by the consistency of high serves and drop shots to confuse the opponent. The research concludes that his technical and tactical characteristics reflect the modern men's singles tactical logic of "control - maneuver - attack", which can provide a reference for badminton-specific training.
