Oh boy... looks like it's bye bye Sony... 19-11

**Justin L** · 11-15-2012, 02:20 AM

Woh, Wang Zengming on the verge of ousting Sony in G3, 20-12 !

**Justin L** · 11-15-2012, 02:22 AM

Wang Zengming did it, what a pleasant surprise! No mean feat beating Sony.

I lost my live stream mid way... but I think Wang Zhengming played excellent.

But you said he reminds you of Chen Jin. He appears to me to be a very different player from Chen Jin. Chen Jin would just run and chase for the entire match, without having any attacking skills. Chen Jin doesn't have a effective smash at all.

But to me, Wang Zhengming has exceptional talent in smashing and driving, anything where he hits down into the court.

Generally speaking you're quite right. But I have in mind the Chen Jin who can attack well too. I'm reminded of how he played against Lee CW and Lin Dan before the Olympics. haven't seen him, Chen Jin,that is, doing that here or recently.

I really wish Wang ZM can make his big break here.

Han Li prevailed over Jiang YJ who, if I'm not wrong, is only a year older, maybe two.

**Justin L** · 11-15-2012, 02:32 AM

Chen Yuekun is giving Chen Long a hard time too, actually 19-18 up now.

But Chen Long turns the table and wins G1, 21-19 against Chen YK.

Poor Sony, pooor Sony. 10 times more entertaining player lost IMO.

**zhuangcorp** · 11-15-2012, 02:42 AM

Chai Biao and Zhang Nan are up now. I really like these 2 players, but they don't seem to have the same potential as Fu/Cai.

I think the big difference is that Fu and Cai had VERY defined roles, they are very different talents. Fu is definitely the back court player, Cai is clearly the front player. But Chai and Zhang are much more similar players. I think this will hurt them in the long run.

**pathan** · 11-15-2012, 02:44 AM

My next prediction for the day: Hu Yun will beat Chen Jin... I love Hu Yun's laaaaaaazy style of play and excellent backhand... I've said this before but I'll say it again... he's like a lazy version of Taufik Hidayat in terms of style... even remotely looks like him...

**Justin L** · 11-15-2012, 02:44 AM

Wang Lin is always wearing the left knee guard, more for psychological support , I think.

**Justin L** · 11-15-2012, 02:46 AM

Chen Long asserting himself in G2, well in the lead 16-8 now.

**pathan** · 11-15-2012, 02:50 AM

alright Hu Yun vs Chen Jin up now. I hope it's streaming.

**scorpion1** · 11-15-2012, 02:53 AM

Just now turned on and have found out two seeded players in the women's singles gone out... Li han is improving day by day. Really great to see her coming up
