The Art Of Badminton

The death dance of the goose feather !

Honestly, Rey does not believe the Indonesian couple can equalize. Though the Taiwanese pair only needs one number to get a victory over the Indonesian pair.

But the persistence of Kevin and Marcus has proved it. Nothing is impossible if we try to get to the end.

The first deuce for both partners. Now the opportunity is open to anyone. Will the match return or it will be faster than before.

Rey and Nay seemed to have little discussion as to who would win this match. Not only them, but the entire audience seemed to be busy guessing who would be the champion.

*

Score 20 is the same and Marcus is ready to serve. Marcus thinks he should end the match soon before the Taiwanese pair bounce back.

Marcus's flick of service sped quickly into the back of the field. The ball is easily returned. Speed and power are still going on. It had been more than forty blows and the ball was still unwilling to die. Both of these couples are amazing.

Both of these couples looked exhausted. Several times they lowered the tempo of the game to restore power. Wang Chilin did not dare to just do a smash. He was waiting for the right moment to shut down the Indonesian couple.

The ball still won't die. The deceptive movements of each partner can be countered easily. But when Lee Yang did the jumping smash the Indonesian couple rewind their position to prepare to block Lee Yang's smash ball. In conditions that are already tired of course the concentration of both partners is a little slumped. Kevin-Marcus' partner did not realize that Lee Yang might have done a drop shot, but they had retreated backwards. Instantly Kevin ran forward to pick up the ball. Kevin dropped his body to reach the ball. The ball was successfully returned, but Kevin's return was very responsible. Lee Yang immediately grabbed the ball and Marcus tried to return the ball but Lee Yang punches very hard and the control of the ball obviously can not be perfect. The ball bounced back and Wang Chilin felt this was the perfect time to do his deadly smash.

"Siall !" marcus said slowly. He was preparing to receive a hard blow from Wang Chilin. Kevin was still trying to stand up after dropping his body earlier.

Wang Chilin's smash ball shot out at full power. Inevitably Marcus had to try the technique that Kevin had used. Ball right about Marcus' racket, Marcus, he used Kevin's technique by pulling his racket when the ball approached by following the rhythm of the ball as a result of Marcus' experiments succeeded even though the racket seemed to vibrate violently and the ball back with a connection that was ready to be welcomed back by the punch Wang Chilin's.

Marcus gritted his teeth preparing to hold back the smash ball from Wang Chilin. Wang Chilin's full-strength smash turned back towards Marcus.

"Jebreet...!" The loud sound of the ball hitting Marcus's racquet was heard all over the Stadium. The ball returned to the Taiwanese couple's court with a wiggle in the air, as it turned out that Marcus' racket had broken off.

Kevin took over Marcus's position. The ball that came back with responsibility was grabbed by Lee Yang. Kevin endured it with great difficulty. The ball was again struck by Lee Yang directed to an empty area. Kevin rolled his body trying to cover the entire field alone. When the ball was back on the opponent's field, Marcus was back on the field after running to take his new racket. The ball was heading towards Kevin. While squatting Kevin returned Lee Yang's strike ball and the ball hit the net lip, Fortunately the ball rolled into the opponent's field. Now it was Lee Yang who felt difficulties, the situation seemed to turn around. Lee Yang dropped his body forward to reach the ball. Lee Yang's ball of responsibility was struck by Kevin hard, but Wang Chilin was already on standby behind Lee Yang. The ball was intercepted by Wang Chilin and returned to the field Indonesian pair, but Kevin had jumped and tried to intercept the ball and it turned out the ball was intercepted by Kevin and immediately executed, but Wang Chilin managed to hold Kevin's ball, but unfortunately not yet the ball flew to the field Indonesian couple, he said, Marcus ran from behind and jumped as high as he prepared to intercept the ball in mid-air as his body floated. That's when Marcus slam dunk hits the opponent's field and the goose feather is crushed like a tree that has been left out after being exposed to the wind****pick.

Lee Yang and Wang Chilin silently stared. Not a word was said from their mouths.

21 - 20, and after a long time the Indonesian couple excels over the Taiwanese couple. The audience was amazed. They had not expected to see Marcus's famous slam dunk punch.

Rey was silent in her seat. His chest trembled seeing all this.

Match points for Indonesian couple. Lee Yang and Wang Chilin looked still shocked by the slam dunk blow issued by Marcus. But they can't be careless. They must be optimistic to take this point to be able to equalize again.

Next to the spectators, the happiest with this match were the reporters and photographers. They get a lot of fantastic photos beyond their expectations. And there is no doubt that tomorrow these photos will appear in many newspapers such as newspapers, magazines and online websites.

**

One more point then Kevin - Marcus will end this game.

Marcus was a little nervous to serve. On the opposing side of the field, Lee Yang and Wang Chilin prepared to receive Marcus's ball.

Marcus's serve ball sped quickly, and was immediately returned by Lee Yang to the right of the Indonesian pair's field. Kevin was there and easily returned the ball, but Kevin was very surprised Lee Yang ambushed Kevin's return ball and immediately did a smash. Kevin managed to get back against the ball from Lee Yang, but Lee Yang seemed to have been able to read Kevin's movements. Before the ball was far across the net, Lee Yang was always there, and he came back to attack Kevin. Lee Yang looked crazy, his eyes were really sharp. Kevin was constantly attacked.

Kevin felt cornered, the ball he returned far back. Wang Chilin jumping smash with a roar like a bear. He came back crazy like Lee Yang. Several times his sharp smash hit Marcus's defense. It looked like there was smoke billowing from Wang Chilin's hand, perhaps his current strength was already at the highest level point. Marcus continued to be pounded by Wang Chilin, and while receiving Wang Chilin's fourth consecutive smash hit, although the ball was returned in an unclear direction but still entered the opponent's field area, Marcus' racket was broken and bounced off the field.

All the spectators were screaming hysterically. Now there is only Kevin who has to cover the field while Marcus runs to pick up his new racket.

But everything seems too late. When Kevin stood in the middle because the field was now just himself, Lee Yang took the ball and aimed the ball to the empty spot furthest from Kevin's position. The ball drifted towards the back left corner of the Indonesian pair's field. Marcus, who seemed new to enter the field with his new racket, was impossible to catch up, while Kevin was still in the middle of the field and saw the ball drift almost across his body position. Rey and all the spectators know the match will still continue because the ball will fall in the empty field pair Indonesia.

But Rey saw something that was again impossible to do. Kevin jumped high towards the back trying to intercept the ball in the air. His body was light like cotton blowing in the wind, 'graceful and dazzling'. She jumps perfectly like a ballerina. His body floated and spun in the air while stretching out his hands and racket. And when the time came, the racket met the goose feather as if they were friendly with each other. The two clung to each other and formed a sort of punch that suddenly shot towards the opponent's field splitting their defense and falling gracefully right between the two opposing players.

Kevin landed perfectly and gracefully right after the ball touched the opponent's field.

The audience is back to craze. The screams and cheers of joy could no longer be contained.

Lee Yang dropped his body into the field. His head bowed and his tears unstoppable just came out.

Wang Chilin simply stood still like a statue. No tears, let alone tears. But Rey saw Wang Chilin's lips tremble withstanding the pain she was feeling right now. He tried to be tough and strong, but the look in his eyes could not be lied to, he was teary not strong enough to withstand all this pain. And immediately, he wiped his eyes with an arm hoping that no one else would see him.

The referee declared the game over. Indonesian men's doubles pair eventually managed to become champions while avenging their previous defeat.

On the side of the audience, Rey did not express joy like the rest of the audience. He was just pensively thinking about the match that had just ended. He felt helpless, his chest turbulent but also fearful. He was afraid that he could not be that great, or let alone that great, not even close.

Grandpa and Nay both stared at Rey. For a while they let it be like that. Because they know what Rey is feeling right now.

Marveled. Vim. But also fear and not confidence !
