0:52

week three I played my goal that was

0:55

rough the first two games

0:58

was like kind of close and then when it

1:00

gets to like the double digits when we

1:01

get around the double digits you just

1:03

pull away kind of thing and then the

1:04

third game my mental's gone so he just

1:06

like swept me

1:08

um and that was another thing like

1:11

going into it

1:13

after I fished your dad I was like okay

1:15

there's gonna be a huge mental block

1:16

when I play him now because he just

1:18

killed my ass and now but then when

1:20

Michael came in Michael was like a

1:22

different Beast

1:23

and so obviously going up against him

1:25

I'm like I'm just gonna try and get one

1:27

game here and obviously that didn't

1:29

happen

1:31

Jackson he's definitely a formidable

1:33

opponent uh he he plays a lot more

1:38

of a defensive kind of play style he

1:40

plays to make you miss first my place I

1:44

was very laid back I'm like making the

1:46

opponent make the mistake kind of thing

1:47

and then like if they give me the

1:49

opportunity I would make a good hit that

1:51

doesn't really

1:52

phase me too much

2:05

whatever happens Michael still except

2:08

you as the leader

2:17

should be upon you

2:19

as well

2:22

I'll be your kid do as well yes you are

2:26

to have any kids

2:36

yeah it was tough

2:38

um

2:39

it was a new environment too so I was

2:41

like okay I'm gonna have to try and use

2:42

this to my advantage and

2:47

I'm just like I know Michael's going to

2:48

take advantage of my like laid-back

2:50

Place Style

2:51

and so I'm gonna have to just try and go

2:53

for some things

2:59

I feel like Jackson and I it's always

3:01

close at the start of the game

3:07

[Music]

3:12

and then I'm not sure what happens but

3:15

uh you know I just download him or get

3:18

in his head a little bit he gets

3:19

flustered and starts making errors all

3:21

it takes is a couple of of

3:24

missed shots on his ends like early in a

3:27

point and he his head starts to get out

3:29

of the game and uh I start just running

3:32

away with the game from there

3:45

please

3:50

foreign

3:51

[Music]

4:01

[Music]

4:33

the winner of this match is actually the

4:35

loser in the end because we both have

4:36

such high thoughts of each other and we

4:39

both love each other dearly so really

4:41

this is a battle between Brothers if you

4:44

will

4:45

whatever happens happens in the end

4:47

hopefully we'll still be great friends

4:50

that's it well I knew me and Michael

4:52

were going to face each other at some

4:53

point I was hoping it wouldn't be in the

4:55

first round I can feel his compassion

4:57

for the game is really carrying him to

4:58

Victory right now but that's the five I

5:02

think it happened so let's see what

5:04

happens

5:19

I just wasn't able to get any ground or

5:22

get anything really going against

5:24

Michael I couldn't get any momentum it

5:25

was all his way I mean

5:28

you know it was it was really tough and

5:30

obviously once that game was like he was

5:32

clearly pulling away it was a lost cause

5:34

and I just had to look and try and

5:36

Salvage something he's still a little

5:37

bit shell-shocked I think I was also

5:39

playing prop like probably at the top of

5:41

my game there

5:42

[Music]

5:50

thank you

5:59

[Music]

6:12

he was serving a bit

6:15

bit soft which I could just punish

6:18

extremely hard

6:20

um you know we were outside it was a

6:21

little different and it didn't really

6:23

seem to affect Michael at all like I

6:25

could definitely feel the effect I could

6:27

see maybe the wind a little bit on

6:29

certain hits and like

6:31

I was still getting used to it but with

6:33

Michael was like

6:35

he was just still as dominant kind of

6:36

thing I could tell he was frustrated

6:39

the guy was definitely frustrated

7:00

backs against the wall I mean when he's

7:03

up 2-0

7:05

he's making some more mistakes because

7:06

he's going for crazier shots my play

7:08

style

7:09

just feeds into his so well and I went

7:13

in with the mentality to try and switch

7:15

something up

7:16

[Music]

7:26

my playstyle

7:28

just feeds into his so well he had his

7:31

head more in the game

7:33

[Music]

7:41

the air start to roll in on Jackson's

7:43

end or you know I get a couple good

7:45

punish shots or he starts to get lazy on

7:49

his serves thinking he can just serve a

7:51

a normal dinky serve against me which

7:54

you know I just I'm gonna punish that

7:56

every time

8:03

I started to run away with it but he

8:05

definitely showed some more signs of

8:06

life

8:14

thank you

8:24

[Music]

8:38

[Music]

8:42

[Applause]

8:44

[Music]

8:47

[Applause]

8:53

feel better 21-10 thank you Michael okay

8:58

yes yes I've surely felt the love that

9:01

match that's all that matters in the end

9:16

I'm not too surprised with how it went

9:18

Mike was a fierce competitored with love

9:21

for the game

9:23

um I'm feeling good uh hopefully well I

9:27

know we're still good friends even after

9:30

this I was unfortunate to play him the

9:33

first round

9:34

unfortunate for him I suppose

9:37

yeah it was good all in all again the

9:40

the winners actually the loser in this

9:42

in this unfortunate match Jackson very

9:45

good player

9:46

um his defense I mean his wingspan alone

9:48

can cover you know insane amount of

9:51

ground his his defense was up there with

9:53

armins especially with the 21-4 game I

9:57

remember hearing that score and be like

9:59

no way because like Michael is really

10:01

really really good undeniably but I

10:05

I don't know that was just like a

10:07

bloodbath basically Jackson is this

10:10

brick wall on defense but then you know

10:12

Michael this was like not against me I

10:16

get it of course I get it you know

10:18

Michael he steps it up in the

10:19

competitive scenario you know you can

10:22

turn on a switch for sure and play

10:24

really well so the kids are disappointed

10:27

in Jackson as a player but I was I could

10:30

say I was disappointed in the result I

10:32

would have liked to see closer games of

10:33

course Jackson's a great player he's a

10:36

fantastic player and

10:38

I just didn't expect him to go out like

10:41

that I don't think I really don't think

10:43

he played that well

10:44

um even for his standards you know I

10:46

think

10:47

maybe he was off it was just an off day

10:49

for him um I think he's going to do

10:52

really good next year too uh there's

10:54

there's a lot of guys that if they do

10:55

return they're they're going to be a

10:57

problem next year you know we're all

10:59

good friends so it's like all it's all

11:00

in good fun and

11:02

yeah made some love jokes after got it

11:06

over dramaticize the situation of course

11:08

yeah something's got to change next time

11:11

I face Michael to have a chance for sure

11:13

yeah
