Chook muhng, Tien Minh! ..i was going to give my congratulation to NTM in the other thread, but it got locked, so just want to say "congrats!". With his victory over LCW, hope it'll build more confidence & he'll go all the way to the Final..
Rightly said, ctjcad & Pathfinder! Let's hope he keeps going. Hoping for a Kuncoro vs. Nguyen final. (Satay vs. Fish Sauce---what's for Sunday dinner?)
^^Interestingly..^^ ..usually the threads that get locked involve the usual brouhaha w/the fans of the Three Amigos: Lin Dan, LCW, Taufik. But today, we see a thread being locked on the innocent and harmless Nguyen Tien Minh, of all the players?!?!....I hope it's not the end of the world..
it is locked not because of Nguyen Tien Minh. due to why, you can read what is written by kwun. again, please do not make the same in this thread.
LOL, AlanY, naughty...title also same from NST : http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Friday/Sport/2580459/Article/index_html He looks different from top view, as least different from I last saw his pic. Arm got more muscle , hehe. All the best vs Bao2, Nguyen, Vietnam fans (& some non Vietnam) will cheer you all the way.
NTM has been alone last year...beginning of this year, he was struggling to get sponsorhip..with Yonex, the offer was too low...HEAD was not ready and Victor was the only can offer hi, a much better deal...a very quiet guy and very polite....hope he can break thru and progress to next round....
Agree. NTM said he's gonna be sleepless over this threshold victory. The distinctive improvement in NTM is his attacking play, a missing weapon in the past. Playing NTM is like engaging in guerrilla warfare; he knows everything about his opponent while his opponent's trying to figure him out. BCL and CJ have not been convincing in their matches either and I don't think the CHN MS rote trained for NTM : any NTM video would be obsolete anyway. But I hope NTM gets enough sleep.It's not easy to win matches on inadequate rest when the margin between winning and losing is so thin. Right now his biggest weapon would be his confidence. I'm delighted for him.
Congratulation, NTM....hope u can continue your amazing run in this tournament by beating ur next opponents........
NTM played well. He had to, because LCW was not too bad himself. He was obviously not sharp, but still very fast. NTM matched his speed well. It was nail-biting all the way to the end. PG/Anup's and BCL/WCH's matches were simultaneously ongoing on the next courts and the speed differences were obvious. Felt like F1 vs go-carting.
Yeah, thats our hope too! If Tien Minh win in the next match, he will get the prize from Vietnam bigger than the prize for the winner!!!
