The main topic of this thread is "Wang Zhengming - The next Superking" Whilst the BCL/LD discussions are semi related to current Superking (LD) & how WJM compares, I do suggest we try keep a bit closer to the thread....aim.
The main topic of this thread is "Wang Zhengming - The next Superking" . Good. It's better to keep our talk related to the thread title. We thank BCers who have given us info about WZM. .
Agree with you Thom_bad, i like CL better than WZM. But not sure if he's a lefty, cant remember. As far as i remember he's a right hander.
Zhengming WANG Zhengming Wang... After watching him play, something just clicked in my mind... Why? ... .... Maybe because my playing style is related to his in a way. .. he's graceful and relaxed in his movements with good finesse, with BIG smash. Look forward to see how far Zhengming can go in the Int'l badminton scene! Always exciting to see new talent..
good player, and potential too... well play at net, fast on court, and good in mind control, patient but confident
Please whoever that doubts his skills, Watch the latest game China Super League 2010, Wang Zheng Ming vs Lin Dan. MS WangZM vs LinDan (HQ mp4 format) part 1 http://www.sendspace.com/file/nzlxwt Part 2 http://www.sendspace.com/file/la4p76 credits to IloveCp2007
Ok i just watched that game, that is the first time i have seen him and wow he really took it to the best player in the world. Some of those rallies were just amazing to watch he seems to be quite a good retriever, quite close to Lin Dan too, and his jump smashes were great and accurate. He definitely has potential.
This is without doubt, WZM's best performances ever(after watching a few of his plays), it's good to see he play without pressure and able to keep the intensity throughout the game(although he was slowing down in the third). He played with superb smashing angle and play and a few rallies brilliantly. However, there were times when he gave away points by choosing the wrong choice of shots, showing his inexperience. However, he will only get better. Also, he made too many mistakes on return of serve(at least 4 in 3rd set, probably because of fatigue). If he didn't give those away, there's a good chance that he would have win this game. Overall, an exellent player and definitely someone with good ptential in the future. Rumors has it said that he was injured in the CBSL recently. Hope he has a speedy recovery and keep his good form going. Looking forward to see more of him.
This kid really has a great potential. Plays a sort of combined Lin Dan smashing style, plus some kind of taufik lazy footworking with some controlled backhands. A bit of combination of both styles together which makes it awkward. In anyways it works for himm so he'll eventually make it ahead of the other youngsters. Still lack in experience he'll get more eventually!
I do agree with what you said about him mimicking LD's style and stroke. But I certainly can't see he has TH's lazy style of play, his style is too 'hardworking' to be able to play like TH(at least to me) . Anyway, I hope LYB can send him to more tournaments after the CBSL. It seems that he only got to take part in ABC this year while his compatriot like Gao Huan got to play in more tournaments this year. (in SO not sure if he plays in IO).
Well about the "lazy" style would be basically the kind of non-chalant backhands drops. 8/10 of his backhand shots are controlled drives/drops. I've seen him clear probably twice with his backhand. Especially when you talk about chiense players, most of them prefer overhead. It's very not the type of style that chinese coaches would encourage their players to do. And also he has a kind of smooth footwork too. He has this kind of blend anyways! hope he'll get far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
