Korea Open 2008 - Day 6 - Jan 27 - FINALS!

[abedeng]

LD on comeback trail, 6-10

[cooler]

maybe LD is kind hearted and dont want to embarass LHI in his home turf, and let him to have a set.

As i have sad earlier, the match of LD vs PG, LD was doing alot of crazy useless deceptive shots just to give PG some easy points

[abedeng]

Net deception fools LHI, 7-10

[carine]

LHI leading 10-8

[yu hua]

1 more to level!

[robin7]

LHI loses the match if he can't lead at the interval.

[skunklover]

dan trails by only 1 point

[abedeng]

Uneven sequence of pts, this. Weird for NSS.

[carine]

LHI leading 11-9...

[jasonmarc]

like i said,...LD is certaintly toying with LHI....and LHI is getting very nervous now....

[Felicia_txh]

LHI finally lead...11-9..

[yu hua]

LD get slipped his 2nd set interval lead by 2 pts

[phaarix]

maybe LD is kind hearted and dont want to embarass LHI in his home turf, and let him to have a set.

Personally I HATE it if someone does that to me! I much prefer my opponent to give it their all. Even if they don't have to to beat me! It just seems more respectful that way.

[abedeng]

Good drive by LHI.

[yu hua]

Uneven sequence of pts, this. Weird for NSS.
NSS??:confused:

[carine]

will LHI take 2nd set n make it into rubber game?

[jasonmarc]

NSS??:confused:

NSS - New Scoring System ;)

[robin7]

Too many unforced errors by LHI.

[yu hua]

Personally I HATE it if someone does that to me! I much prefer my opponent to give it their all. Even if they don't have to to beat me! It just seems more respectful that way.
tat's why many ppl dun like LD, but mayb the description kind-hearted should b lik this "kind-hearted".

[cooler]

Personally I HATE it if someone does that to me! I much prefer my opponent to give it their all. Even if they don't have to to beat me! It just seems more respectful that way.
well, even being nice to someone, not all will receive it kindly even if the intention was good. That's why this world is crazy.

[abedeng]

LHI missed easy net shot, LD back within one.

[phaarix]

Lee Hyun Il Must have a real mental disadvantage when it comes to playing Lin Dan... Memories of past experiences! Ack!

[carine]

13 all now..........

[robin7]

LHI just can't get any helps from the linesmen.

[yu hua]

NSS - New Scoring System ;)
oic, thxx...:D:D:D

[abedeng]

LHI net fault called, 14-14 tie.

[Felicia_txh]

LD is leading......15-14........

[robin7]

LHI net fault called, 14-14 tie.
It could have been 15 -13 for LHI. What a miss!

[carine]

LD 1st time leading in 2nd game...15-14

[abedeng]

And that fault is haunting LHI, 14-16 down.

[xsakurax]

it looks like lin dan will win in straight game if lhi cannot catch up with him

[robin7]

LHI is done....

[cooler]

come LD, stop fooling around

[carine]

LD leading 17-14

[yu hua]

1 song for LHI, nananana...nananana...ohoh...goodbye

[xsakurax]

Ld still leading 17-15

[jasonmarc]

LHI going to lose......only TH and LCW can deal with LD now !...

[phaarix]

well, even being nice to someone, not all will receive it kindly even if the intention was good.

Yeah I know what you mean :). I mean I'm a bit of a hypocrite... sometimes I've been in the opposite position where I'm playing somewhat of a beginner and I don't know what's worse, beating them by miles (could make me look bad, cocky etc.), or going easy which could achieve the same result :(. Yeah it's quite hard sometimes to decide what is the "right" thing to do!

[xsakurax]

too bad lcw is ill..if not it will be an interesting match between them

[robin7]

17-all............

[yu hua]

0 smash winner for LD and 8 for LHI but LHI is trailing behind??

[abedeng]

"You don't often see LD having a swim", says the Astro commentator.

LHI flat play regains the lead, 18-17

[eaglehelang]

Hiyaa, I just came in & saw CCTV 5 now showing football. LYI trying very hard to win 2nd set.

[robin7]

[extremenanopowe]

[Jessica]

[jasonmarc]

of coz for LD la...he shouted so loud, umpire dare not to change mei????? Hmmm...next time, should ask LCW or other player to shout as loud as LD, or louder than LD, so that the umpire will change the call....:D:D:D

[pauline]

[carine]

LHI 5-1 LD...

[eaglehelang]

Can LD stop LHI like LCW did in MO?
now LD start engine, 2-5

[abedeng]

Another bad call at sideline corrected by umpire.

Gives LD momentum to fight back.

[robin7]

5-all................

[skunklover]

LD is now tied 5-5

[xsakurax]

But LCW is too skinny...Can he shout louder than LD????:rolleyes::D:D
LHI 5-1 LD...

[spchu]

Wow Korean linesmen seems to try to give Chinese a taste of their own medicine. Luckily umpire not from Korea.... hope IBF keep having international umpires....

[abedeng]

Lin Dan back in groove after that bad line judgement, 6-5.

[jasonmarc]

Another bad call at sideline corrected by umpire.

Gives LD momentum to fight back.

[Louisa]

wow...the crowd going crazy now, so loud n noisy....donno LD will complain or not...I remember he complained bout Mas n INA fans being too loud....but this time, the noise make by his supporters.....LD jiayou, LD jiayou...

[abedeng]

Umpires are using the new overrule rule to good effect. Last time they didn't have that rule, only the tournament referee could do that.

LHI misses a smash. LD regain lead.

[robin7]

Miss by LHI 8-9.

[carine]

9 all now..........

[robin7]

9-all. Backhand smash down the line.

[Wong8Egg]

wow...the crowd going crazy now, so loud n noisy....donno LD will complain or not...I remember he complained bout Mas n INA fans being too loud....but this time, the noise make by his supporters.....LD jiayou, LD jiayou...

[robin7]

Another overrule by umpire in LD's favor. LD 10-9.

[skunklover]

[carine]

LD leading 11-9

[Jessica]

Stupid linesman...Really disgrace the Korean..

[abedeng]

Another umpire overrule, plum on the line.

LD takes 11-9 lead.

[xsakurax]

ld 11-9 tea break now~~ =X

[Han]

LHI can't afford to be so behind, keep the score close else you have no chance

[eaglehelang]

are there any webcast on the match?

Nope, not now. CCTV 5 will show again in 1 hour time, 9 am GMT, 5 pm Msia, Spore, China

[cooler]

korean linesmen make chinese linesmen look like saints

[Louisa]

the umpire overruled again this time...but i guess that was a good call....poor LHI...anyway, i guess only...

[robin7]

Too many smash misses by LHI in the decider...

[apontoh]

Ever since China Open 07......the umpires are more aware on this matter.....what a good progress....goood for the sport:p

This is great progress for the game, i can't believe they didn't thought of this earlier. I guess China open 07 went overboard....

[abedeng]

Lucky net cord favours LHI.

[yu hua]

Even if lcw shout louder will the umpire help him ? =_=''
i dun think so, compare to LD,he look far more kind than LD, the look not fierce enuf i think:cool:

[robin7]

11-all. Fabulous said by the commentator.

LHI 12-11.

[Han]

How is Li Mao looking? Nervious? How about Li Yongbo? mad?

[eaglehelang]

korean linesmen make chinese linesmen look like saints
oh, that bad? About the same right? From the no of bad calls Abedeng & Robin saw happen

[jasonmarc]

Stupid linesman...Really disgrace the Korean..

Dont call them stupic...Jess......They are just being patriotic....:p

[robin7]

LHI 13-11. Inspiring.

[Louisa]

Stupid linesman...Really disgrace the Korean..

[robin7]

Return out by LD. LHI 14-12.

[Wong8Egg]

DAmn~~ sounds like a very tense game~~~ God damn CCTV~ bring back badminton now!!!!

[skunklover]

LD losing 13-14

[carine]

LHI leading 14-13...

[robin7]

14-all. LD upped his gear.

[skunklover]

LD tied at 14 all

[carine]

14 all now.....

[yu hua]

if LD lose this one,it will b cool enuf. afta leading a 21-4 Oo 1st set, went on to lose the match,look so familiar, LCW done it be4 wit a 21-9 lead over LD but blow it!

[robin7]

Smash miss by LD. LHI 15-14.

[abedeng]

LD's placement smashes level the game, but misses the next one.

[skunklover]

LD needs to kick it up a notch

[robin7]

LD's return out again. LHI 16-14.

[jasonmarc]

This is great progress for the game, i can't believe they didn't thought of this earlier. I guess China open 07 went overboard....

[Felicia_txh]

16 all..................

[robin7]

16-all. Great reflect by LD.

Match right at the wire, lightning attack by LD wins rally.

[skunklover]

[yu hua]

look like this final is more than jz like NO linesman needed, every decision get overruled

[Louisa]

wow, tremendous badminton...good see, good see....and, li mao looks so fierce...

[extremenanopowe]

I think Li Mao must be saying to lindan. I'll break your legs if you don't let LHI wins. No Ginseng for you...

[robin7]

What a dropshot by LHI 17-16.

[abedeng]

Brilliant dropshot gives LHI advantage.

[extremenanopowe]

Just gotta the feeling that LHI will take it. Some funny feeling...

[xsakurax]

lhi 17-16 ld ...close game

[skunklover]

LD down 1 point...very close....
I wanna live feed..........

[eaglehelang]

I think Li Mao must be saying to lindan. I'll break your legs if you don't let LHI wins. No Ginseng for you...

Dont let - you mean let right?

[Louisa]

and now the korean just want to do the same things to like in Chn OPen...luckily some good adjustment have done in time.....:D:D:D
Jason, from what i see, all adjusted back...if not, there will be no duece in 2nd game...fortunate for LD that the umpire is not Korean...

[jasonmarc]

This game seems like getting exciting ...no more yawn.......fight...fight...

[robin7]

Another miss by LHI. 17-all.

[carine]

17 all..........

[skunklover]

17-17...comon..clse...

[abedeng]

Again, an easy smash miss at the net, back level.

[extremenanopowe]

Yes.... correct....

[eaglehelang]

High pressure for LD, since LU lan already lost

[pauline]

i dun think so, compare to LD,he look far more kind than LD, the look not fierce enuf i think:cool:
well,innocent look may help too...:p jk jk

[robin7]

Another mistake by LHI 17-18.

[Louisa]

Just gotta the feeling that LHI will take it. Some funny feeling...
I hope this will happen:D:p:D

[skunklover]

LD up 18-17.....

[cooler]

look like this final is more than jz like NO linesman needed, every decision get overruledwell, this still would unfairly rattles LD which doesnt help LD

[abedeng]

LD regains lead with 2 mistakes by LHI.

[skunklover]

whos actually there watching?

[robin7]

Wrong judgment by LHI. LD 19-17.

[eaglehelang]

LD not letting LYB's Tsunami wave start... 19-17

[Louisa]

if LD takes this, i am sure, he will let all of us all see his '6 pack' again...so close

[skunklover]

LD up 19-17....comon
