Do you know the sensitivity and specificity of MRI scan as a diagnostic test in MCL injury?And perhaps less "LCW isn't injured, he trick the media, I know since I can see his MRI scan better than doctors" theory.
Of course I don't know about it. People here seems to think otherwise though, saying it's "fake" without any evidence. Hendrawan confirms LCW's injury. Less bias please.Do you know the sensitivity and specificity of MRI scan as a diagnostic test in MCL injury?
And it was the media who reported his injury.
Actually, people will re-question the original diagnosis as the recovery period seems remarkably quick for a top class athlete in this particular injury especially to get to near the top of his game.Of course I don't know about it.

Lol, what he did was nothing. There was no yelling, not much emotion on his face, just two raised arms. He's not even shaking them at his opponent. Sure it may seem to be much for a non match point, but it was a hard fought point and it shows just how important this last AE outing is to him.
It's nothing compared to the constant verbal and fist assault we get from a certain WS player...
In the past, badminton players and especially singles players tended to retire by the time of their early thirties. That he (and Peter Gade) can / could still go strong is good for the game. Hu Yun is another who keeps going. Personally, I think it is good for the game, maintains interest and keeps people talking.
First thing that comes to mind is Axelsen's mentality (aka the Danish Temper) and also his physicality during rubber sets are.... erm.... lacking for a better word, stretched.because we saw what happened with Axelsen, who is no push over.
Depends on the match. In the OG Bronze match, he was fine with 3 games, but in the AE, LD made him run a LOT, especially in G2. Also I guess VA got frustrated since so many of his attacking shots came back and he couldnt get on the attack quite enough...First thing that comes to mind is Axelsen's mentality (aka the Danish Temper) and also his physicality during rubber sets are.... erm.... lacking for a better word, stretched.
I didn't make myself clear enough, my bad. I don't mean to say that Chou raised his arm like Lee did, but Chou celebrated almost every point he EARNED in the first game of the semifinal, and there's nothing wrong with it, as with Lee's celebration after a hard fought point.Huh? I watched the game again after you wrote this. Could you clarify at which point Chou acts like LCW did in 3rd game 16-7? I don't have any problem holding a fist up if you turn away from the opponent. In the screenshots, LCW is quite obviously facing his opponent....
It would be really good if you can state which point of the match Chou raises his fist at Lee Chong Wei. Thanks.
Sorry for being too bashful. I was in a really bad mood that day because of all the hate Lee is getting, even if it's not his fault.If this comment is really about what I said, I cannot agree. I did not say anything about fake personality. I said the reactions we talked about - which are very few and overall insignificant - are fake, or more precisely, look fake to me. It is very different then what you assumes.
Of course I know personalities are complex, who doesn't? That does not stop me of having impressions when I see somebody acting.
Beside, I never mentioned anything about LCW acting fake in the past because he was holding back.
I am sorry you feel wronged or upset because there are some comments on LCW's behaviour. But I think you are too sensitive here, little was said against him.
Regarding what happens in LD's thread, I agree with you, but it has little to do with our discussion here. If we could stop comparing LD and LCW all the time it would be a good start to the air cleaning you mentioned
Having watched LD v SYQ match court side, I don't think he is slow. I think he was tired. He still has 80-90% the speed he did in say 2009-10 but he just doesn't have the stamina to use it all the time given his age. He had a tough match the day before against VA which would have taken a lot out of him.
I think if LCW had a gruelling match the day before, he may not have done quite so well either. It's obvious LCW's stamina is not what it used to be.
I also do not agree that this is laziness, as I don't think you can call anyone who reaches the semi's of the AE "lazy" - talent alone won't get you that far. Neither could you say his time is over. He beat VA the day before! Does that mean VA's time is over too then?
Always probable for LD. LD is too slow now. He can't keep up with the youngsters. That's why he always play stroke like it's 90s. Cannot inject pace and cannot retrieve SYQ's smash, how to win? He should retire already before loaing in every tournament he play. His time is already over. No more stroke boring play here. Can he even qualified in WC as THW, CL, SYQ and others are in front of him? Lazy is lazy.
boohoooo.... "probable LD let Shi win in the SF." If it was true, the strategy did not work as LCW trounced Shi in the Final. It was not even close.It is very probable LD let Shi win in the SF. It is not that he's slow, cannot inject pace, or anything, because we saw what happened with Axelsen, who is no push over.
LD does not want to meet LCW I suppose. Keep that for the WC and Team competition...
Congratulation to our beloved Datuk.... You delivered another glorious achievement and makes all fans be it here in Malaysia and the out side world very very, very proud. Despite this. BAM must realize that China already has few new blood that is able to beat LD and a sooner gong to be a serious contender in the world of Badminton while Malaysia has not yet able to produce one.
it is called intimidation tactic. LCW, Marin and Kevin do it once a while. It is fine IMHO.Please show a screenshot of CTC directly facing Wang ZhengMing and doing the shouting and pumping the fist. Most times when pumping the fist (I say most because I haven't reviewed all the match), CTC immediately turns his back towards Wang (CTC doesn't have eyes at the back of his head).
Again, I repeat, I have no issue if not facing the opponent directly.
Marin does it more than once in a while thoughit is called intimidation tactic. LCW, Marin and Kevin do it once a while. It is fine IMHO.
He's lucky because his regenation skill is like Wolverine, he can play well in AE even though his knee is heavily strap.
...
What is Morten Frost hired to do for BAM ? He must have done right the previous time, that's why BAM top officials lured him back the second time with certain KPIs to fulfil. If he has done anything wrong, why wasn't he taken to task, reprimanded or sacked ? Instead the BAM President likened it to a husband-and-wife quarrel and came out with that expedient solution in the hope the whole ugly matter will blow over or resolve itself as time goes by.
Nope, he faced his opponent when doing so.He just raised his hand to celebrate? That's it??
but did he face LCW when doing so?Chou celebrated almost every point he EARNED in the first game of the semifinal,
If we believe what the commentators say during the matches, to raise the fist facing your opponent is actually forbidden, but a lot of players do it, perhaps without realisingNope, he faced his opponent when doing so.
but did he face LCW when doing so?
I suppose I have to just make it absolutely clear again that I am not opposed to raising fists or shouting after winning points. I don't think players (not one player) should be directly facing their opponent when doing so.
P.S. As for the affair with MF, I believe Lee should apologize to MF. He shouldn't have gone public with this matter, and he shouldn't have threatened to leave BAM if they don't get rid of MF. Whatever issue they have, they should sort it out on their own, privately. Using the media to pressure BAM and MF just feel like he's using his star power to bully MF. The fact that MF had to communicate with Lee through his coach or whoever tells me they really haven't had the chance to talk face to face. Only more misunderstanding will spawn from communicating through a middle person.
