The Art Of Badminton

Analysis and calculation

On the sidelines of the break into the third game, Rey and Nay appear to seriously discuss the possibilities that are happening to Ginting.

With the game Ginting did not develop in the second game, making Rey and Nay wonder.

"I think the problem lies in the hands. Maybe his wrist or shoulder is having a problem !" Rey glared at Ginting from a distance.

"Can be. Recalling the moment in the final Malaysia open ginting had fallen and his hand at that time tried to hold his body so as not to collapse." Nay opened his notebook. Spontaneously covered his mouth with his hands.

"No way...!"

"What did you find ?" Rey was surprised and curious.

"IG Ginting'S...!"

"What is Instagram Ginting? I followed her, too, but there's nothing weird about her Instagram."

"There is nothing strange..." Nay's looking for something on Instagram.

Rey is really curious. "Then what makes you so curious ?"

Nay showed Rey an Instagram post called 'Amelia86.

"You mean this-ii-iii Gintii's girlfriend..."

"Indeed Ginting likes aunts. Of course not !" Nay swiggers. "Lagian Ginting doesn't have a boyfriend, does she? when you know nothing about your idol!" Nay turned back to Rey.

Rey just messed around while scratching her head.

"It's look ! Amel's sister is one of the doctors who specializes in athletes." Nay showed Amelia86's profile picture to Rey.

"So he always accompanies athletes wherever they compete?"

"Hmmm not really" Nay shook his head. "Indeed, there was a special doctor who accompanied the athletes as they went to the Tournament. But Amel is different, he is an expert doctor who specializes in athletes who are injured or suspected of injury because athletes complain of something different on his body. Technically he was appointed to deal with injured athletes, but he also worked and performed like a doctor in general."

Rey nodded her head. "So what do you see...?"

Nay showed her a photo on Amelia86's Instagram before Rey asked her at length.

"See this ! Isn't this Ginting ?"

Rey saw a photo of a hand wrapped in gauze. But the face of the owner of the hand was completely invisible. Rey squinted her eyes trying to recognize the hand that was wrapped in gauze. Rey still doubts why Nay can be sure that the hand is Ginting's hand.

"It's not that he's a doctor, it could be another patient."

"Take a look at the caption and the date this photo was posted!" Nay pointed to the date this photo was posted.

Rey saw the date of the photo when it was posted. It turned out that the photo was posted just a day after Ginting became Runner-up at the Malaysia Open yesterday. Then Rey read the caption written on the post 'check & ricek patient who just made me and everyone proud '.

If you refer to the date of the incident, this is very suitable. But Rey still doesn't understand why Ginting is hiding this.

"But why did Ginting hide his spider?" Rey looked curious.

"But why must insist to join the tournament if you feel injured. Isn't athlete's health a priority?"

Nay turned back sharply. His eyes seemed fiery ready to serve all Rey's questions.

Rey is amazed by the flames of Nay's spirit, and she feels burned by it.

"So it's like this!" Nay opened his notebook with passion.

"First, why does Ginting insist on participating in this tournament. Of course he felt healed and it was all with the approval of the doctor. Okay !"

Rey is horrified to see Nay's fiery spirit. He felt intimidated and could not speak except to nod his fist.

"Second, this is Indonesia Open Rey, IN-DOOO-NEE-SII-A-AAA OO-OO-PP-EE-NN. When you become a real athlete someday Rey, maybe you'll understand about this."

Rey pouted in disappointment and Nay's words slightly shook her. It was as if he had fallen down and then hit the stairs. After burning the fire burning Nay, then stabbed deeply by his words.

"Real athletes... !" Rey muttered in disappointment. But he also realized that he was still a nobody.

"You okay Rey ?" Nay shocked her and woke up from her daydream. Rey just smiled and still saw the flames in Nay's eyes. Rey knows that Nay's onslaught isn't over.

"Okay Rey it seems you've refocused. Third, it's Rey's point problem !"

"coin? Isn't Ginting's point now big enough, and he's still sixth to qualify for the world tour final?"

Ney again glared sharply, this time even sharper.

"Rey, I'm really serious. You have to learn to count the athletes points and also the chances that they will lose points. As an athlete there are times when you have to take that into account with your own sense, although of course there is a team that handles it all."

Rey was pensive with Nay's words. Trying to digest and remember what he missed.

"You mean Ginting won't get any points if you don't join this tournament?"

Nay nodded but hesitated a little. "Not just don't get Rey's points, even worse. Ginting will lose a big point. And his position will drop far, then he has to catch up in small tournaments which of course the points are not big, and it will be much more tiring."

Rey slowly nodded her head. He only realized that Ginting last year managed to advance to the semi-finals of the Indonesia Open and lost by the representatives of China. Thus ginting gained a considerable point. And this year if Ginting doesn't go to the tournament, and or if he loses before the semi-finals, he will drop points according to last year's points.

"I'm sure Ginting is actually cured and the doctor has not wrongly allowed him to compete. That's why he made it to the final. But the previous ginting-babak opponents were so brutal and draining. Maybe that's where Ginting's injury comes back." Nay attempts to analyze Ginting's condition and explain it to Rey.

Rey began to understand little by little. All this time he only knew an athlete only in one thing, namely 'match'. But now he is starting to realize, there are many things that athletes bet on in one game. Country Honor, Points, family pride and many more things.

Rey sees Nay sharp, which then makes Nay surprised at once clumsy and shy. He admired the way a woman thought in front of him.

For the first time he stared at a woman for so long and felt another different vibration than usual.

"Play !"

The referee's voice ended Rey's view of Nay.

Nay and Rey return to focus on the field to see the third game that is about to begin.
