How good is Teh Siu Bock/LCW combination?

**flite** · 03-14-2011, 08:44 AM

LCW sealed his 2nd AE victory in quite a commanding fashion by beating his no.1 nemesis LD in straight sets and I see no credit was given to this new advisor of him TSB.

Beside being able to provide new ideas and strategies into LCW's game, the duo also communicates well by conversing in their arterial language (Hokkien-Penang style) that makes them look very comfortable and nothing is lost in translation.

I personally think that TSB can take over MS in coaching and guiding LCW in a permanent basis as he has proven his worth.

It could also be good fortune for LCW when he is trained under the Tehs. Teh Peng Huat was his former coach in Berapit and they converse in Hokkien too.

Kindly share your thoughts on TSB and LCW combination.

HAHAHAHA I know you had a fun time on this... me too.

Not because of Hokkien. What I meant was the language used to converse in between them is their mother tongue thus all instructions given out were perfectly received.

Then you should create a Boleh and Tak boleh thread. You can cheer or sulk as you wish there.

Now I know what to expect from you in the future.

Yes, Hokkien is the key word here................lol

**pBmMalaysia** · 03-19-2011, 06:54 PM

language in communication is important but not in this lcw/misbun/tsb case,

lcw understand English and Malay very well

Currently, the training team for lcw consists of at least 3 trainers

with misbun behind the scene and teh sb as the commanding officer

So you guys want to give credit, it's 5 of them

However, the combination of teh sb has prove it's working

and this has been misbun/lcw agreement until London 12

as far as I know

Watching LCW's game in the AE Final was very interesting. Definitely more confidence and much better variety in his game. More attempts at deception, and going for shots that I had previously not noticed in his game.
It would be too simplistic to say that it is all due to TSB. But certainly LCW's approach was way different. It could be that Misbun directs LCW to play a certain strategy which may not seem all that effective, whilst TSB just gives some small tweaks here and there and encourages LCW to also be more proactive and creative with his playing style against Lin Dan.
Or perhaps I'm just crapping on.... haha!
