and changes what spectators around the world

thought defined an athlete.

The world simply didn't see Lin Yun-Ju coming.

- [Commentator] Fantastic play.

Superb play.

This is not exhibition,

this is absolutely stunning!

- [Adam] Many people saying Ma Long,

the current Olympic champion

and winner of the last three world championships

is the best player in the history of the sport.

Lin Yun-Ju has defeated him

the last two times they've played.

Remember, he's only 18 years old right now.

This is his reaction after beating Ma Long.

- [Commentator] He's got it!

- [Adam] And this reaction after winning $100,000

for beating world ranked number one,

Fan Zhendong in the final.

- [Commentator] And it is victory for Chinese Taipei.

- [Adam] This is why the world calls him

the Silent Assassin.

- All right, I've arrived in Yilan.

We'll see, Elon Musk?

No, just Yilan County, Taiwan.

Looking forward to meeting him.

Hey, Yun-ju!

- Hey. - Hey, how you doin'?

All right, man, how long have you been waiting here?

- One hour.

- One hour?

Come on, man.

Awesome, thanks for waiting for me.

Sorry I'm late.

So this is Yilan, huh? - Yeah.

- Weather's nice here in Yilan.

So we're gonna play some challenge matches later, yeah?

- Yeah, you should beat my coach first.

- I have to beat your coach before I can play you?

- Yeah.

- Okay, if I beat your coach.. - It's a challenge.

- That's a challenge, okay.

I have to beat your coach.

What about your coach's kids?

- At level two.

- Level two and you're level three?

- Yeah. - Okay, I will fight.

Let's go.

All right, so this is Lin Yun-Ju's mom.

This is Tony, the tennis player of the family.

Big brother, 22 years old and this is dad.

And this guy, we'll see if I can get to level three.

So here's the place

where the training happens to become world number seven.

All right.

It's upstairs here.

I burn so quickly.

It's amazing.

As fair as they come but I'll take a point

if you give me a chance, I'm just kidding, all right.

The Coach... (in Chinese) Japanese person...

Chinese-Japanese person

Awesome.

[The Coach] - Chinese-Japanese person.

(Taiwan slang) Awesome!

(Japan slang) Awesome!

(Chinese) My shoes...?

ok ok... no problem

oh, it's ok (Chinese) ok

(Chinese) Here clean them a little

ok. Thank you.

Your shoes are so beautiful.

Thanks!

A Taiwanese person painted them.

Ruby,

hello?

What's your name?

My name is

Kayaman Yu (?)

Yu.

So... you are... Chinese?

Chinese but with Japanese nationality.

you were born in Japan.

Yeah

Your dad is the coach.

Coach

I am the practice partner.

- Barbecue

- "Barbecue" close! "Bobrow"

oh man...

I'm sorry

that's fine.

He thought my last name was "Barbecue"

Adam Barbecue, that's my new name.

You guys want barbecue?

BBQ?

Okay.

Lin Yun-Ju decided even before playing his coach

I should prove my worth

by beating him while he uses his non-playing hand.

Lin Yun-Ju will use his right hand

as I have never seen before

and I ... will use MY right hand as I... always do.

Lin Yun-Ju suggested

that since he's using his right hand

he should have a headstart.

Wanna try zero-zero or four-zero.

three-zero

Three-zero, okay, three-zero.

Best of three games

three-zero

♪ Damn it feels good to be a gangsta ♪

- [Commentator] Game point!

Game point!

Game point!

Game point!

Match point!

- Even when he used his non-playing hand, I barely won.

Now, I want to play one of the best players on the planet

at his best, bring it.

But first to get to the boss,

I have to get through his crew.

That's going down in the next video.
