You can see after Muhammad Axan lifts
0:02
cross, the Indonesian pair shifts into
0:04
the sideby-side rotation for defense.
0:06
And it's here where it gets interesting.
0:08
Oshuani drives straight and Hendra
0:10
Sedawan drives back straight. But before
0:12
Oshwani can reply, Hendra is already
0:15
moving forward. Seeing this, Assan
0:17
naturally shifts back to cover the
0:19
backourt, which puts them in an
0:20
attacking frontto back rotation. In this
0:22
frontto back rotation, Assan plays a
0:25
half smash to the middle. But if we pay
0:27
attention to Hendra, you can see that he
0:30
begins shifting to the right and raises
0:32
his racket to cover a potential cross
0:34
shot from Ushwani. This subtle cue of
0:37
raising the racket and shifting his
0:39
position was enough for Assan to
0:40
understand that he needs to move forward
0:42
to cover the drive straight. And even
0:44
though Owani initiated the aggression in
0:46
his defense by driving the half smash
0:48
had the rally continued, the Indonesians
0:51
probably would have still had the upper
0:52
hand in the rally here. If you guys
0:54
enjoyed breakdowns like this, make sure
0:56
to like and sub. And we recently did a
0:58
more complete doubles breakdown, so if
