Rotations were common in doubles. Athletes sometimes played in front, but sometimes they had to play behind too. But Lin Zhu's role as a playmaker usually put him at the front, and that's why he was quite surprised when their coach ordered him to take more of a back position so he could also attack his opponents more.
He was quite hesitant when he just heard their coach's instructions, but then Ye Quan said to him right before they once again entered the court, "I already said that your strength has increased, right, ZhuZhu? You can smash better now, and maybe Coach Cheng is right that you should be more aggressive at the rear. With that strategy, we might be able to surprise our opponent."
It was Ye Quan's encouragement, and the older man even patted him on the shoulder twice before smiling at him. The two of them had been training together for months, and it seemed that Ye Quan knew more than him when it came to his improvement.
