Lee Chong Wei ( 李宗伟 )

.
Don't know how you can predict that 'LCW is probably not going to win the WC or OG in his career'? :confused::confused::confused:

Let's check back on your prediction after he has completed these 2 events, namely; after the 2011 WC and the 2012 OG.

'probably not going to' has the exact same meaning as 'probably going to', so dont read too much into it

LOL, what key word ?

How many times have you actually predicted correctly LCW's result in WC or OG ?

LCW is favourite to win any title, he is just 'psychologically' incapable of performing to his best when it comes to WC or OG.

Skill and effort wise, he is definitely the best.

Excerpts:

...The burning question is can Lee Chong Wei end 34 years of pain for Malaysia by winning the singles gold or will doubles Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong step up and prove once and for all that they are worthy of the hype that always accompanies them into major tournaments.

Of the two, it does seem that Malaysia's best bet, as is so often the case, is Chong Wei and the World No 1 certainly has the capability and, more importantly, the form to win Malaysia's first ever world title.

...Christensen had a point when he said Chong Wei has been phenomenal this year. What he didn't say was that Chong Wei also looks like a player at peace with himself.

He doesn't sport the haunted look he used to have, speaks confidentially and, above all, spent the last week or so away from the distractions of Kuala Lumpur by training in Bath -- all of which point to a run which should take him into his first World Championships final.

[h=1]Chong Wei to use improved net play to bag maiden world title[/h][h=2][/h]

IT was the first day of training at Wembley and the talk was all about world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei’s improved net play.
His repertoire at the net is set to be one of his most important weapons as he bids to end the country’s long wait for a title at the World Championships, which will begin at the Wembley Arena on Monday.
Yesterday, Chong Wei was seen busy showing his mastery at the net during a sparring session with coaches Tey Seu Bock and Rashid Sidek and back-up shuttler Chan Kwong Beng at the Preston Manor High School Sports Hall.
Chong Wei and his team-mates had to train at a different venue yesterday because the main arena could only be used for practice from today.

Seu Bock said that Chong Wei’s consistency and accuracy at the net was the result of hours of diligent training.
“It can be quite mundane to do it repeatedly for hours every day but he does it without fail. Now, he has even developed a few tricks to outfox his opponents,” said Seu Bock.
Team manager Ng Chin Chai was impressed with the tight spin shots at the net by Chong Wei – not once but a few times – yesterday.
“This clearly shows his consistency and quality. He has amazing wrist work. I think Indonesia’s Taufik Hidayat is one of the most gifted players at the net and his skills are outstanding. Now, Chong Wei is at par with him,” he said.
“China’s Lin Dan relied on showed speed and power en route to winning the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games but, since then, he has also mastered the art of precision at the net.”
Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) high performance director Datuk James Selvaraj said that Chong Wei’s spin and double motion tricks at the net reminded him of several former greats.
“The great Rudy Hartono (of Indonesia) is one such player. He takes the shuttle from the top of net and his opponents just do not know where the shuttle would go,” said James.
“Other players with good net play are India’s Prakash Padukone and our own (Datuk) Punch Gunalan. China’s Han Jian also has his own style. He likes to take the shuttle from the bottom at the net and it works for him.”
National doubles chief coach Rexy Mainaky said that his mentor Christian Hadinata and South Korean Park Joo-bong were in a class of their own at the net.
Asked who his favourite singles player was, Rexy said: “It has to be China’s Zhao Jianhua. He was the master at the net. Hendrawan is also good at it.”
Finally, when Chong Wei was asked who he felt was the best at net play after his two-hour workout yesterday, he flashed a wide grin and said: “I am ... And probably Taufik too.”
I will keep an eye on his net play later on:cool:;) See how skillful is it..:D

LCW didn't look that impressive at Round 1 of the 2011 World Championships.

Hope that LCW could perform better in Round 2.

All he has to do is do enough to win 2 straights, save energy....why peak now? Save the best for later use.

exactly.. completely agree with you Birdie. we shouldn't expect LCW to blow every opponent to oblivion at every stage. plus it's only monday. slow and steady win the race. and come sunday it's another story.

we all know he has it in him to win this WC. LCW fan should show that, win or lose, they will still support him as long that he is playing to his best ability, rather than putting undue pressure on him.
 
LCW looked tight today, if his opponent had made a few easy points in the second game it would have been very close. The thing with LCW is once he's behind on score his level has in the past at majors dropped, be interesting to see if he performs and takes the title as he should

True! But also remember, this is LCW v2.0 we are watching in action over the past 6 months or so... :D
