Kunlavut and Naraoka actually knows how to attack when needed, even with how defensive they are. I saw Kunlavut firing smashes more times than NTY will be, especially after mid-game intervals. Shots quality is also more high.
I want NTZ to improve his defence like the two of them But I hope he did not follow Kodai rally games & get boo by the crowd
NTY's game is much more attacking now, so it's a good thing. I don't know its a mental thing or stamina thing because there were 2 occasion where he could have won but lost. 1. Against KA, Malaysia Open, win G1, leading G2 19-15, lost. 2. Against SHR, China Open, G3 leading 7-1, 11-14, 16-8, and 20-16, lost.
NTZ lifts disease is worsen in AG team event I wonder why the coach did not fit his bad habit ?? He lifted high & let the kr smash on the baseline so many times on yesterday match His defend is weak but like to lift high to the opponent with a strong smash Wasted too many points
True. Cannot understand why Hendrawan/TSB is still not fixing it. Sorry to say, are they blind or something? This should have never happen in this kind of stages. That's just like throwing away a match. So idiotic. Lift and ???
Even amateur badminton fans who watch NTZ games point out this issue He make his opponent task easier with his own weaknesses while maximizing his opponent strength
Clearly, Arctic Open 2023 is NTY's best performance ever so far. The only problem is that NTY is still scared/intimidated against LZJ, the big bro. You can clearly see his tense face and unsure shots selection. Only experience and time can help him.
BAM owes a big favour to LZJ. Him leaving helped BAM train Ng Tze Yong to compete at top level. As a result, Malaysia has two very good singles players and not just one.
Agree, perhaps is because he never beaten LZJ even during the recent Sudirman Cup's friendly match at home. NTY has a lot of potential and keep improving almost on every match. I hope he can look past LZJ and treat him as an equal player like the rest that NTY has beaten before (VA, LKY, etc) It's very good for M'sia singles dept to have 2 very strong singles like during LD & CL time. At least both can be a good sparring partner for each other.
Congrats to NTY. He did so well in the route to the final I think NTY still has a hard time to win against attacking players with lethal smash. He has the tendency to lift the shuttle high for free smash. I cant count how many times he did that even with the serve Hope he can finds the formula to overcome this as this is the reason he usually lost like against Antonsen during WC I dont think they train together except for the Asian Games team event. Both of them look so awkward on the podium last night. They dont even take picture together
Ng Tze Yong on recent defeat: "I don't think I performed very well today because my body has not recovered yet. I couldn't fully focus." "This is definitely an experience I can learn from, to better manage my recovery in between tournaments," On French Open: "I will have more time to train for it."
“When I return to Malaysia, I will surely work on my stamina as I need to improve on this aspect to be consistent when playing in a series of tournaments.” Basically, stamina problem 101.
Can't really blame him, tournaments are arranged back to back. Even the strongest athletes will get fatigue playing back to back matches. I doubt there's anyone that can really perform back to back tourney's without taking time to recover.
Li shi fengs style is plenty similar to lee jhi zia, without the crazy explosive smashes. Maybe NTY can channel his experiences with big bro.. into his semis tomorrow at the french open?
LSF is like NTY's natural enemies. I give him 45-55% of winning. If he win G1, have a good chance of winning the match. Lose G1, already GG. SF in another WT750 is good enough.
Too bad he is still not able to overcome attacking style players Need more power & speed in his game His lifting habit is still there Need more training when he is back to Malaysia
