Probably just aim your ledns at the crowd? He might be the one with a fake moustache, big Ray Ban shades and a hat? Hard to believe? But sometimes pros not seeking more publicity does that OR they wanted more publicity so that they do it like that!
Lee Chong Wei should feel more unsure about defeating Lin Dan, should they meet again . Actually, LCW should feel more unsure about defeating LD, should they meet again. It's because both of them will always remember their past 'head-to-head' victories against each other. .
If all badminton players are such "true professionals", in any given Super Series event we will see >50% withdraw rate. Since clearly you cannot be in your "best condition" more than 50% of the time. Otherwise it's not your "best condition", it's your "normal/average condition". For example, PG must not be a "true professional". He is clearly in BAD form in the Korean Open final, but he still chose to play. He should withdraw. CJ and BCL are not "true professionals" either. They are playing with injury and clearly NOT in "best physical condition". By the way, can any of us stay home and rest, telling our boss "I am not in my best form today"?
Telling our bosses; "I am not in my best form today" . Hehehe... That's a great example. It also reminded us of what happened some 2 months' ago at the China Badminton League. It was there when Lin Dan said he did not want to participate in it because he was too tired. But CBA said - No, you should play. Some of our other CHN players are tired too, but they are still participating in it. On the other hand, Lee Chong Wei was also invited there as a guest player. LCW was so eager to participate in it, even though he was carrying some injuries. But BAM said - No, you shouldn't play. Why get further exhausted/injured when you not 100% fit?. It is our bosses who decide for us, whether we should stay home to rest or not. .
CBA makes the final decision . It might be true that LD is really not ready. But CBA makes the final decision. Having gathered info from what is happening at the 2010 Malaysian Open SS, LCW appears to be exhausted after playing Du Pengyu and Chen Jin. Lin Dan has missed out on another opportunity to defeat LCW; to add in another victory over him in their 'head-to-head' record. .
Let me speculate a bit more regarding the late withdrawal chaos: 1. LYB wants a revenge that LCW 'deliberately' took an early round loss in 09 China open. Thus no highly anticipated LD vs LCW final. 2. LYB wants a revenge that Malaysia badminton association not allowing LCW to play China badminton league. Will anyone buy it?
i wouldn't waste my last red cent on that. 1. lyb's job is for china to win. why does he want revenge for lcw losing, early or late rounds? 2. less improvement for the opponents the better, why would lyb oppose to that?
If China badminton league is successful, I suppose lots of people will get financial benefit. I read a report that all LD commercial activities are handled by an agency owned by LYB. Again, these are all my speculation to counter the 'affraid' theory for fun ...
Let me say this CBA main job now is grooming their new crops of WS, MS, WD,XD, MD for 2012. LD's job is to stay clean and healthy for 2012. As for money, LD just need to keep sponsors happy. His sponsors tend to key on AE, WC, TC, AG and smaller mainland events lah. The KO, MO, IO, SO, PO, TO, etc are all expendables coz LD's sponsors aren't big time over there or force LD to play them. Look at TH, he doesn't practice or train but he still has to play. He was good for the 1st set at the KO
china ba ...china players... u maybe right on china ba - they are all no small timer, their words are nothing when it comes to winning and they will do anything to get going! however, on the form of lcw, maybe u overlook this - is it coincidence all players beaten by him 'off form'? if anybody answer yes, then it would mean those guys out there (coincidentally from china, denmark, germany, thailand) can't train or be trained to peak themselves in a tournament? this definitely can't be true as they are all professional players, so i think nobody's here gonna ask about their off form...
ld vs lcw that is true, he will have the pressure but he has been preparing for him - tactically and mentally 8 hrs a day ...guess we have to wait for the next tournament. china ba is dirty but smart to preserve their major winnings..
Wow, just because of a player's withdrawal, this thread already have 5 pages. Incredible isn't it? That shows how Lin Dan is so popular and influential in the World Of badminton though
