Not possible to win LCw with one arm tied, he need that arm for balancimg

 

only can if LCW also one arm tied lol

 

Or LD has both hands but LCW plays with 2 rackets.

 

$50k split between all the winners, minus airfare and hotel, not much if you're not fully sponsored by a manufacturer.

 

Superstar Lin Dan talks to Badzine

Quoting myself from a post on March 11. Can't say that I anticipated the magnitude of the drama. Life is indeed stranger than fiction

 

Gosh this a/c business and 'licking of shoes' is bad business for badminton. Lets get back to the good old days when the main direction was self improvement in sports. Like he said, 'if this had happen back in the beginning days, I don't think I would've walked over to check on him'.

LD is currently in #100, playing DO2013 is not about $$$, but more for ranking points and to get back to playing top shape condition, the target is AG2014 coming up, that is my guess. Let's see if LD will eventually get back to his run-and-gun style or rallying from now onwards.

 

Yeah, I don't think AG2014 will give him wild card like WC2013, at least I hope not!! :crying:

BTW, can LD play in Thomas Cup 2014 if he is ranked #100?

 

That is why I think LD is playing DO13 to improve his ranking to be seeded to qualify for AG14 and getting back to playing now will prime him for AG14, that is his goal for next year plus WC14. Winning major titles will further enhance his legacy in baddy and makes it awfully difficult for anyone in future to overtake.
I am not surprised that LD took a year off after OLY12, honestly, what's is there to play for in 2013 other than 1 WC13. But to win WC13, with Dato in top playing form and training hard for this title, that is something I don't expect, that is why I pick Dato to win in the first place
If LD wins both AG14 and WC14, that would be 2 OLY, 2 AG, 6 WC and 5-6 AE, and how many Sudirman and Thomas...now who is next closest to him in the history of baddy. That would be incredible.
Of course,LD can play Thomas Cup but based on his WR now, if Cl and DPY are playing, then all LD can do is play 3rd MS, and that is almost a quaranteed point for CHN.

 

All because of how LYB plans
and a traditional cba practice for top players
going up and down then out of the circuit
The last I remember zhao jiang hua playing 3rd singles
in thomas cup

 

With TC next year, I can't see CHN not fielding a seasoned and proven winner in LD. CHN MD is vulnerable facing KOR and INA, maybe MAS too (okay that is a joke). If CHN loses both MD, CHN has to win all 3 MS. DPY never played TC before, and he is beatable. CL as #1 is 50-50 on the big stage, will he choke? LD as #3 is guranteed a point. So, what card does LYB has? LD has to be in CHN lineup.
LD plays #2, that means no DPY, no WZM. LD as #1 then no CL. LD would stay #3. CL and DPY have to win.

 

I agree. I don't see China losing both MD against anyone, if Fu/Cai continue playing and stay injury free. Their 1st MD is definitely their weakest point in TC, CL is gonna be fine against anyone except LCW, and no one has the strength in depth to challenge DPY or LDin the 2nd and 3rd imop. On a bad day, DPY might lose against Daren Liew or Sony Dwi in top shape, but that's rather unlikely imop.

 

It seems that LCW is not the only one who has to let all the major titles to Lin Dan. Also CL seems to have these circumstances. If he can't beat LD, he rather will get a major title towards to his end of career if LD intends to play until Rio 2016.
So CL is kinda unlucky too not to be born some years later after the whole LD era.

Fu/Cai: I don't think their injurys will be the biggest problem. I think their biggest opponent and maybe problem is if they still have the same dedication like in the last 4 years. If the dedication is not given there's no point they can be in the top 5 or top 10. Experience matters, but dedication probably more. Not experienced but eager to win is still way better than experienced but not eager to win.

 

Hmmmm... if I twist my mouth like this, perhaps I can smash even half as hard as him.

 

Actually the direction of the twist is an indication where he is going to smash. Just that it happens in a split second that no one can see.

 

Maybe it gives you more confidence: Watch Pitbull's mouth when he's singing
