japs??
no worries, I know how to handle em
; D
hahaha, just to manage your expectation, there are no ladies player on their side:)
anyway, before anything about handling your opponent, i think LYN need to handle themselves first in terms of TEAM work.....but this comes with match experience, no worries, u guys already played few friendlies, and i am sure you may have already found a partner that you can work together on court with. There are several learnings that I can suggest (just my two sen opinion, i may not be correct so dont F me ya)
what i observed during your friendlies with DKTT:
1) that each of you are doing your own thing on court without your partner knowing whats next, that is why some of the partnership broke down half way.
2) There is no communication between the partnership, that is why even with a strong lead, opponent are able to chase your down.
3) Body language is also important not only to psycho your opponent, its important for your partner to build confidence in case you guys are down or incase they make mistakes they wont feel so bad if both is psyching each other up.
4) there must be one team leader to bring you guys together, to arrange partnership, to lead who will play first and not i meet you here, they meet them here, i dunno where is he and i dunno who play first....because early team preparation is good for building focus and plans when you reach the court, without it, you will rush into the court and by the time u warm up, the game is over.
5) it may feel weird doing it at first when you guys do not have enough players, but cheering for your team is a good motivator for them, but what i see is some of you are away to pee la, to drink la, to dunno where you went la, while your team are struggling under the hot sun to make names for LYN.
I can see some of the partnership applied some of the above, it is the first step to any competitive fun session, so once you guys are ready and can do the above, then i think you guys will have even more fun times playing together:)
its just my two sen observation, no harm intended, and honestly, u guys did great yesterday:)
