Kevin's front court is still the best in the world and Gideon has tried his very best to recover. However, these Chinese youngsters are more together and fearless. Great match to watch, Minions come back next time and Liang/Wang keep up the good work. Wish all the best 2023 and stay safe and I love you all.
Arghh... Gideon/Sukamuljo was so close. Such a shame! The third game was so tight, fierce attacks from both side, yet also had to deal with own loose shots. Gotta say Liang/Wang was reading the game well to keep up with The Minions. They deserve the win. Keep up the good fight, Minions, many still believe in you guys.
Kevin makes quite a few errors sadly. He plays great shots too, but in an effort to keep the game flat, he often leaves Marcus stranded at the back. Shame they lost. Nice to see a chicom pair who smile too.
Personally, I don’t think they are playing poorly at all. The only difference is that they are not winning. It might be a mental thing, until they start winning again and get some confidence.
@@peterchui1964 Indeed, they didnt play this bad, but most of their mistake comes from their confidence that isnt what it used to be. They on the right way though, looking forward this season
@@peterchui1964 Tbh I think it's both a mental thing and playing poorly. For Kevin, it seems more mental. Gideon has been playing pretty well overall, but Kevin isn't there
Excellent game. A bit sad the minions didn't win but well played for both pairs. 1:02:31 good on the umpire if he was telling the Chinese pair that they should shake hands with their opponents before running back with their coach. I always think it's unpilot and a bit weird that a lot of Chinese players would run to their coach after the game, and left their opponents mid-court.
