Here are two tips that enable
0:01
professional players to defend so well
0:02
on court. Tip number one, defense isn't
0:06
only about reaction, it's about
0:10
The reason Shiuchi can react so quickly
0:13
to Christo's cross smash isn't just his
0:16
reaction speed. It's because his body is
0:18
already covering the straight, allowing
0:21
him to think about the cross.
0:24
But if Crystal Straight smashed, Shuuchi
0:26
could react since his body was already
0:28
in position to cover.

Tip number two is to get off the ground
0:31
early. In this rally, Kristo can perform
0:34
so many diving defense saves because of
0:36
his split step before the shot. Good
0:39
Although the movement is rather large,
0:42
Kristo's split step is effective in
0:44
getting himself off the ground. That's
0:46
why Christo can get everything back
0:50
because he is extremely bouncy on court,
0:52
allowing for fluid and light movement.
0:57
Oh, how did he get that back?
