Who else miss Endo on court 😢😢

@gianigd Ай бұрын

Endo, the man who came back from retirement to have some fun with the juniors. thats what happens when a man truly loves a sport.

@gianigd Ай бұрын

@@JackahoonaLaGuna yes, he had not retired officially but he stopped playing for some time when his previous partner hayakawa retired. everybody thought he is not coming back, but he teamed up with watanabe and the magic happened. finally he retired at age 34, in 2021. not bcoz he was getting old but bcoz he and watanabe could not reach an agreement. he wanted watanabe to concentrate only on MD but watanabe didnt want to give up XD with higasino. watanabe was doing really good in XD too. finally they split. he retired. and watanabe went on to concentrate only on XD. watch their all england final against sukomulyo-gidien you gonna love it

You can really see the stark difference in attitude between the two pairs here. The Japanese unrelenting in their defense, both players trying their best to support each other, sometimes even going way into the area of their partner to cover them after a shot left them off-balance. Their play is very disciplined, never relaxing or slacking in both their attack and defense postures even when they are firmly in control of the rally/game. Meanwhile the body language of the minions tells you that there is discord between the two players. The frustrated look on Gideon's face each time he makes a mistake, a lot of times because he can't put the shuttle down while smashing many times from the rear, all the while Kevin is just chilling at the front waiting for Christmas. It also seems like Gideon may have been injured (feel free to fact-check me if I'm mistaken here) during this match as it really doesn't seem as though he is powering through his smashes. It really felt as if each indo player was playing solo with Gideon only playing back and Kevin only staying front for the most part (yes I know it's their preferred positions) but when Gideon has been smashing 7-10 times consecutively at the rear almost every other rally, Kevin has to help him at some point, and he barely did so. The two players felt like they were in a downward spiral of frustration both at their own performances and at each other, especially that 2nd game. The time when they got a lucky shot, like early part of 2nd game where Kevin gets a lucky shot on the tape, he doesn't even apologize out of courtesy, but instead just stares down the Japanese pair, displaying poor sportsmanship (as he often does).

I agree with all your point. But Kevin at the back is not good cz his smash isnt so powerful, while Gideon at front is not good as well cz he’s slow. After their peak, many MD already bait them to play in this formation and win

So lee chong wei has poor sportsmanship? 😅

@aos_mkwii Ай бұрын

Watanabe has such a good awareness of where the gaps are.

@danieldarnei9907 Ай бұрын

Endo has a cool personality.... He's a professional warrior in badminton world... His cool and calmness is similar to a Japanese Samurai❤.....

Any video with Endo in it I will surely be there. My favourite MD player of all time.

@xxWidex Ай бұрын

It's very incredible if you look at that year. Gideon and Kevin was at their peak, getting so many gold medals, yet they only scored 3 points in the second round.

The quality of the Japanese defending almost defies belief at times. They were able to defend and then counter attack peak Minions who were in full attack mode from half way down the court. Absolutely no one should be capable of defending that, let along finding a winner in the same rally.
