Cute Abao As all of you know, in China national team, Fu's nickname is Abao. Now add two pictures of little monkey Abao. Cute!!!
adorable Ziqiao Cai Yun have another name Cai Ziqiao. Evertime when I browse the pictures, I'm always moved by these picture.
Somebody said the national team players changed to Lining racket since this month, but there is also rumors that they still use Yonex racket without logo. BTW, the pictures with CFP logo were stolen from someone's private forum, I'd apologize to them, and hope you not posting them at any other places.
Regarding Lining racket, just found a thread in a Chinese Badminton Forum. If you are interested, kindly find it here: http://bbs.badmintoncn.com/thread-68091-1-1.html It seems Fu will use Lining Storm N70.
It seems that most friends here could not read Chinese even I gave the links of Lining racket. I'll try to explain in English here. The racket Lining developed for China national team have 4 series which are named by storm, flame, rocks and woods. The ideas are from the ancient book <The Art of War > which was written by Chinese famous strategist Sun Tzu. From chapter VII. Maneuvering of army "Let your rapidity be that of the storm, your compactness that of the woods. In raiding and plundering be like the flame, and immovability like the rocks." If you know Chinese, you main find the names in Chinese are even more exciting than in English. Now it was said: WOODS N90 racket for Lin Dan only FLAME N50 racket for Chen Jin only ROCKS N30 racket for Bao Chunlai only STORM N70 racket for Fu Haifeng only ROCKS N33 racket for Cai Yun only STORM N77 racket for Xie Xinfang only
Add two latest pics of Cai &Fu on training. It seems Fu is concentrating on improving his play in front of the net. If you'd watched 09 AE MD SF&F, you may find his performance in front of the net was superb, on the 1st game of final match, 6 net winners were all from him. If Fu keeps improving his techs in front of net and also his defence, and Cai improves his physical strength and smash, how awesome this pair would be!
yup, agreed, FHF's netplay has improved significantly since last year. he's still mentally weaker than CY though, and tends to crack a bit under pressure. if he can control his emotions, then they will be even more difficult to beat.
Agree, but it also shows that this pair have space. Right? How many roads must a man walk down, before we can call him a man? Abao, Jiayou!!!!
yup, though CY is getting a bit on the old side. hopefully the CHN team don't drop him because of that, they do have a tendency to favour younger players.
