Yeah, both Kevin and ZN have enough variation from the back to get just enough weak replies from the opponents. And both are almost equally good at the front not to let anything go pass them when it happens. I felt like I had said that before
I referred to the current circumstance. He clearly can achieve more if he has a decent partner smashing from the back. Marcus was a great partner from him till mid last year, most of their titles were won before that. I hope he can be a strong contender for WC or OG, is it wrong to think that way?
Then he would have been 27. Yeah that would have been perfect haha He is still pretty good now, but he's not available unfortunately.
Not saying we are writing them off. But just talking about the realistic probability. I am not really surprised. Been expecting that this day would come. Thought I had prepared myself well to face this, but still when it has actually come, it's hard to digest.
They, especially Kevin, duly need some spanking, though. I love Karma. Especially when they managed to pull off Taufik's scoreline.
Offended? What I'm trying to say is Minions have to watch their backs if they don't want to fade away into oblivion or turn out to be like Lee Yong Dae, he's a great player, no offence, but never won any Majors except the All-England. Don't be rude by chasing people out, okay?
Not offended in a way you might suggest. Should have just said so from the beginning instead of spanking or karma. But if you said that they deserved this because of Karma, I don't see how this has anything to do with LYD?
Pft, didn't know that the word "spanking" would be hard for some to swallow. Karma, because you know Kevin, right? Pardon my word choice, though.
Yes I know Kevin. But I don't see why he needs any spanking or if Karma has something to do with them losing. What has he done? Partying all night?
The post match interview is up. "I was almost out of energy in the second game and the opponents were not easy to be put down. The shuttle was heavier than yesterday. So maybe I didn't feel confident enough because my energy was spent a lot yesterday", explained Marcus. "Japanese pairs more or less have the same playing pattern, Endo/Wata and Kam/Son are quite similar in their playing style. But today Endo/Wata was more prepared than us. They were more resilience," said Kevin. "We have to be able to be more patient facing them," added Kevin. source : https://m.badmintonindonesia.org/app/information/newsDetail.aspx?/8088 I am glad they were still giving out post match interview. Thought they would have just refused to answer any questions. Well let's just pray for their come back next time. Kevin needs to lost some weight . And Marcus to improve his attacks and defense or basically many things. They can't just rely on Kevin alone anymore to win tournaments.
