Invisible power (part 2)



The game resumed after being briefly delayed because Ginting asked to be examined by a medical team.


Score 13 - 15 and little by little Ginting began to pursue Antonsen.


Ginting carefully and very focused on serving. His serve looked very thin almost on the net. Antonsen pushed the Ginting service ball to the left, quickly Ginting managed to take the ball and return it straight towards Antonsen's body. The ball was successfully returned Antonsen although a little kagok because the ball really leads right to his body. The ball floated in the air with an unstable sway, and Ginting instantly did a jumping smash. Ginting smash sounds different because the ball is not right about the Ginting racket, but it makes the ball fall difficult to predict. The ball floated by swaying and speeding with imperfect force. Antonsen felt unprepared and ran forward because the ball would fall out of line with his calculations. He leaned in so that his racket could touch the ball. The ball was successfully reached and returned Antonsen right in front of Ginting. It appears Ginting pointed his racket towards the right of Antonsen, and Antonsen had seen the movement of Ginting's hands and he stepped his feet first to chase the ball, but Ginting did the unexpected. He finally tried to get back his technique. His racket was not directly used to hit the ball, but he lowered his racket and delayed to hit the ball a split second. That way the opponent who has been moving feels deceived and can no longer chase the ball, because their footsteps have stepped in the wrong direction.


The audience cheered happily. Finally Ginting managed to use his flagship technique. He seemed satisfied after several failed attempts at the technique. Score 14 - 15 and one more point then Ginting will equalize.


Ginting looked different and more uplifting. It's so weird that his wrist injury just disappeared. He returned to service. This time flick service was done Ginting. There did not appear to be any vibrations in his hands when he wanted to serve. Antonsen was surprised because Ginting could do a service flick when the condition of his hands was not so good. He turned his body to take the ball that had gone far back. The ball came back pretty responsibility and Ginting did a jumping smash and the ball without further adoothering penetrated the opponent's defense.


Score draw 15 - 15. For the first time Ginting can equalize in this deciding game.


Ginting is like being on the wind. The punches are very powerful and the balls are deadly.


The Antonsen return ball rolled around the net and looked hard to return, but Ginting easily returned the ball and Antonsen had to be fooled again because the ball turned out to be rebounded due to the technique of delaying the ball owned by Ginting.


Antonsen looked disappointed and a little angry with himself. Several times he hit his head with a racket.


A score of 17-16 is still very tight, and this time Ginting is ahead of Antonsen.


Rey thinks what's just 'cause a spray and a scarf all of this is possible?


Rey shook her head because it felt unreasonable.


"There are times when there are things we don't understand. And maybe only those in the field understand." Grandpa after a long moment of silence finally opened his mouth.


"That's the name, the invisible power of Rey!"


Rey could only stare at Grandpa question markingly. "The pain remains, but the invisible force, which can come from anywhere or anyone today is far more dominant."


Rey glared away at Ginting and tried to understand what Ginting was feeling right now.


"But it all depends on the player, can the extent to which they hold this power. Because this power will of course gradually be shifted back pain that may be much stronger."


Rey seemed anxious to hear Grandpa's explanation. He did not want Ginting to suddenly feel the pain again.


Grandpa looked at Rey a long time ago, and he smiled at the innocence of his beloved granddaughter.
