The Art Of Badminton

Ginting, the Idol !

At school, Rey had really solid friends. In addition to badminton training with friends, he also often hangout with his friends.

Rey wasn't the smartest kid in school, but she was pretty smart. Because he loved Badminton, physics and mathematics became one of his favorite lessons. He is very fond of calculating numbers in mathematics as well as physical theories that have something to do with Badminton.

At the First High School where Rey studied, it was very famous for its badminton sport. This school has a good record for the sport of badminton. Many Rey alumni who entered the national team although not all of them successful and famous. However, one of the alumni who had a successful career with Badminton was one of Rey's favorite players 'Anthony Ginting'. In addition to Ginting, of course, there are also famous men's doubles players who are also rivals of Kevin - Marcus in Platnas, namely Alfian Dawn.

Rey has just become the champion of Bandung city area to become a representative U-17 level of the Province. At the age of her who almost stepped fifteen years, she had previously only managed to qualify to the Provincial level and was defeated by her senior in the final. That way he failed to get a ticket to enter the U-17 National level.

Anthony Ginting's favourite player Rey is warming up with his opponent today in the 'Anders Antonsen' final from Denmark. Can be known Ginting and Antonsen have a World ranking that is clinging and chasing each other. Currently Ginting is ranked fourth in the World, while Antonsen is ranked fifth in the World. A few weeks earlier it was Antonsen who was ranked fourth in the world, and again had to be taken Ginting because of the stunning appearance of Ginting in the Malaysia open yesterday.

Rey was hoping for the final to bring together Ginting and World number one Kento Momota from Japan, but after winning the Malaysia Open yesterday, Kento suffered a fateful fate, the car he was driving to the airport crashed and Kento was rushed to a nearby hospital.

The news of the accident that hit the number one single World is so shocking. Asian media and even western media are talking about the crash. Even from the rumors, Kento had to rest for about a year to do a series of checks and operations until the recovery period. The Japanese public was deeply shaken, considering Kento was one of their favorite athletes.

Ginting's profile is shown on a large tv screen. The height is only 172cm but Ginting is the type of player who has many techniques with agile foot movements.

Ginting's highest ranking is world number 3. Because competition is getting tougher, it is natural for an athlete to experience ups and downs in terms of rankings.

Oma Gill who is a famous commentator from Europe and has been unfortunate to watch Badminton matches around the world had said that the game Ginting is one of the players whose game is always good to watch.

He also has a technique mendelay ball that makes his opponent die of lice because of shock and confusion.

Many who had imitated the Ginting technique seemed to be Huang Yaqiong, but there was not yet a hundred percent of its accuracy as Ginting did.

This time Rey directly wanted to see the technique in front of her own eyes.

Rey looked excited, until several times she clenched her hands in nervousness.

**

The first game has already started. Antonsen first serve. He has a very high posture of 185 Cm. Indeed, the mainstay is jumping smash like most high-postured players. But Antonsen has something that other players often fear. He was feared not for his thunderous smash like Wang Chilin, but he had a patience level above the average of the other players. Antonsen will keep returning the ball until his opponent is upset and frustrated. He would also not make any meaningless attacks just to exhaust his strength. He will only do jumping smash when it is necessary and will obviously get points. Antonsen is arguably a stupid player who is hated by players who want a fast tempo game and immediately want to end the match.

The ball rolled from the side of the field Ginting to the field Antonsen with a fairly slow tempo. Both were very careful in taking the punches. Ginting did not want to rush out his flagship style as well as Antonsen.

The match is so tough. Occasionally Antonsen do a smash but not so hard, it looks these two players are groping the type of game their respective opponents.

Score 7-6 for Ginting excellence. Some ginting points are obtained from the hard smash of ginting, as well as Antonsen. In one serve created thirty to fifty strokes. A pretty tough match for the size of the men's singles. It seems that in the middle of the first game, Ginting will increase the tempo of the game.

11 - 9 for Ginting excellence. There have been no magic blows from the two players who made a scene in the stadium. Both of them seemed to wipe the sweat on the edge of the field. The coach gave the direction of both players.

Ginting and Antonsen return to the field. From the gelagatnya both players will immediately raise the tempo of their game.

Ginting back service thinly and hit the net. Antonsen released the ball convinced that Ginting's serve did not arrive. The linesman declared Ginting's service out. Ginting immediately raised his hand to ask for a challenge. The referee immediately granted his request. Indeed, each player is given the opportunity to ask for a challenge, but the challenge is given only twice if the requested challenge fails then the challenge will be reduced, the challenge will be reduced, but if the requested challenge succeeds, the challenge opportunity will remain intact.

This challenge uses a very modern technology called 'hawk eye' or in other words 'eagle eye'. With this technology players can see if the ball goes in or out. Thus there is no more suspicion of the referee or the line judge regarding cheating.

The Ginting service ball re-show was shown on giant tv using hawk eye technology. The ball glided slowly and fell in the white stripes of the Antonsen field very thinly.

"correction, in !" the referee declared Ginting's service ball in. The audience cheered.

Rey seemed to be amazed by the technology she had just seen.

Game time is increasing. The attacks and hiccups of both players were getting more and more intense. But neither Ginting nor Antonsen are willing to issue their respective flagship styles.

The ball bounced high into the Antonsen field. Usually other players see a high rebound ball like this will be directly hit with a jumping smash. But as usual Antonsen just jump as usual and do smash with half power. Ginting of course returns the ball easily crosswise away from the range of Antonsen. Antonsen was shocked and chased the ball until it fell, it did not take a long time to snatch a very responsible Antonsen return ball.

The audience cheered again.

The first game ended in a 21-12 Ginting win. There is still no strong resistance from Antonsen.

On the sidelines, Nay and Rey were surprised by the game Antonsen tend not to develop.

"Don't let this be just a strategy..."

Nay muttered which Rey then heard.
