The half-smashes to keep the bird down; cut out opportunities for LD to intercept; the net play; the cross-court smashes. But mostly the subtle changes of pace, taking the pace off the smash... that's what worked and that's what got LD in a twist many times. It sowed seeds of doubt in LD's mind, and contributed to the result.

And where TH was always a half-step slower than LD or LCW in the past 2-3 years, LCW could match LD step for step.

Well done, LCW!!

I'm sure your friend is very proud of you!

LCW did it with more finesse this time you were saying. Whereas, Taufik as great as he is could never seem to regain his physical fitness. LCW is super fit and dedicated therefore he persevered to collect and defend his AE!

YES, Look at this video for example

enjoy..

Yep. Better strategy. More proactive; less reactive.

I've also noticed LCW made a lot of opposite retrieval of LIn dan's smash especially the 2nd set. Lin Dan didn't expect that at all actually.

congrats to LCW...I'm really enjoy the game last nite...

**george@chongwei** · 03-13-2011, 10:54 PM

It works though

Oh give me a break... Since when LCW started playing small tournament? Or do you call Super Series as chilly padi tournament? How many SS LCW had won in 2010? In 2009? How many major tournament tittles in his bag? His career major titles? LD had 45 of them, the last one being Korean Open Super Series Premier! And now LCW had just added another major title to his bag, and he won the second super series premier, THE ALL ENGLAND super series premier! I am sure you are not that stupid to figure them out!!!

Let me ask you. The world championships, All England, Olympic Games, ASian games is Bigger(major) or smaller tournament than those super series title? I'm sure you are not stupid enough to figure them out too. No doubt LCW is a good ambassador for the SS tournaments. I'm just implying that in the future, he should just concentrate more towards the MAJOR title.

which he is doing now.

**pajrul** · 03-13-2011, 11:34 PM

and you just know that chen long will be lookiing at this finals video over and over and over .. and say to himself 'i am gonna get him next time' ahahahahah

Lin Dan will only say been there done that.. he still have 18 (somebody check that) games to catch up with me

But you said NO NEED TO PLAY in small chilli padi tournament...? Are you sure that SS is considered chilli padi? Or were you referring to the National Grand Prix Finals in Terengganu and the German Open?

**Khai_AS10** · 03-13-2011, 11:50 PM

After the AE, it will not the old LCW anymore.... next target is the OG gold medal title.....!!! LCW is No.1!!!!!

Well, LCW was not even in Germany for the tournament. Yeah, that national grand prix and those grand prix tourney

[QUOTE=george@chongwei;1642113]And your wish came true.
/QUOTE]

...and yours too.
LCW also looked very confident during the introduction.

**chris-ccc** · 03-14-2011, 12:25 AM

Regardless of what we think, LCW has 3 missions, IMHO.

And they are;

(1) To retain his World No.1 ranking until he retires
(2) To win as many major tournaments before he retires
(3) To improve his H2H results against LD before he retires

The (1) is quite possible to achieve; but for (2) and (3), there won't be much time left for him.

Let's hope he can improve on (2) and (3); but there is only about 16 months for him to work on it.

I think George meant the German GP Gold held the week before AE. LCW signed up for it, later withdrew

Dont forget to include RS also....

**but seeing RASHID SIDEK's face sitting beside TSB is something not very good feeling for me. If TV is selling cheap in the market, i would have smashed right to his face using my tea cup.
