Yes, all those walkovers this year really had a well rested Lin Dan winning the tournament easily. That was in his tasks and targets for the year. Li Yong Bo made sure of that, otherwise it'd be quite an embarassment for him.
Possible . Before Olympic 2012, Lcw should lose more often to Lin dan so that he will come out to play instead of those 'very hard to accept walkover'
I am not preditcing anything about OG next year But I somehow doubt LCW "gave" LD the 4-kings wi and said no to an extra 500.000 RMB just to be friendly to LD :-D
If the title is insignificant, some people may just share the winnings. No need to be so serious. Just please the crowd and makes everybody happy.
when lcw is winning title,people say he won some useless title when lcw (as someone speculate) giving away some no name title,people say he should win it they always found themself as funny as joker in the circus regarding to lcw issue
It is just the harsh reality of competitive sports. LCW is WR# 1 at the moment, and in a lot of people's eyes (especially his "loyal" followers), he should be winning all the tournaments that he participates in. People tend to forget that he is human after all.
So if you are not predicting and using 'perhaps' then you must be guessing "..... and lose even more convincingly in the next og ... " This sound like you know something we don't . How you know he's going to loose 'convincingly'?
GRR..... Lin dan beat LCW LCW rein of reaching every superseries final is now gone....... LCW cannot play well against LD he always worry about losing.....
Today's match is reminiscent of the 2009 Sudirman Cup... Many brilliant rallies, but Lin Dan was controlling most of the game and got a comfortable victory.
Mental is LCW biggest opponent, not Lin Dan. As long as he can keep his mind clear, motivated and relax, Lee would never be beaten by Lin easily according to the level of them two are now equally superb.
Ur logic is amazing.... So LCW should lose more to players other than LD... why he had the worst H2H with LD only?It is because of LD, LCW got that so called mental issue, LD is his nightmare, not mental. LD caused the mental issue, not mental issue caused LD issue....
Maybe you missunderstood the remark altogether.. the response was to posters idication theu felt LCW lost the 4-kings on purpose to make it look good.. My remark was that he MAY improve and make a loss look even more convincing in OG if that is his intent ... Who will win OG I think is to early to even try to predict. Of course the two biggest fvourites are LD and LCW.. And it seems LD is the bigger favourite of the two, as he is the most skilled player. /Twobeer
LD caused the mental issue thats why the mental issue made him lose to LD Lose to LD -> Poor mental strength -> Lose more to LD
It is not just because LD is more skillfull than Dato' that makes him a bigger favourite of them two in next year OG. If we compare their on court fitness to fitness and skill to skill differences now, the margin of differences are very small and the probabilities that LD to win against Dato' in any of his encounters will as the same of the probablities of Dato' chances to win against LD. What makes LD more highly a favourite to win against Dato' than any other current world player is because LD has a stronger mental attitude while playing Dato', better than any other current world player. With this attitude, he develops himself a positive character that can gain better confidence that influences his gameplay. Even the differences between LD and Dato' is small, but with such character that LD always has while confronting Dato', it's critically signifficant enough to make him a favourite.
I have a question for LCW's fans, what part of LCW's game (physical or mental) do you think is better than LD's game?
I seldom comment on skills because my badminton skill is just very basic. Apart from against other players which he usually wins, against LD, in the early years, he used to rely on defence against LD's smashes and he lost the battle. Then for the past 2 years or so, he uses more offence (smashes) and couldn't penetrate LD's defence. Anyone have other ideas?
LCWs Defence is second to none.. But his offense is still not on par with LD, so LD do not need to fear as much as LCW to give intiaives to the other player in the rallies. Also LD varies the game more and is more deceptive in the shot selections than LCW..
