ZB is well known for not being able to control his temper. he just showed that again! really like to see a different him, or totally different person with MJ.
I missed the SF. I am truly curious now to watch that match and to witness the ZB meltdown and tongue-lashing he got from LYB. Does anyone know where I can find these clips? Nothing up on the Video Sharing thread yet. Thanks
i heard him yelling about something..but i was not sure wat was it about..? can any1 please tell wata happened actually ?
Ma Jin was very upset and cried after the match, almost the whole CHN contingent tried to comfort her. It is cruel to lose a match after having played well only to be let down by her senior partner.
ZB/GL could be a great pair before they were splitted, it was GL contribution.. I don't see something special on ZB.
GL is a very patient person, thats why lyb paired both of them together... But i can seet that sometimes, GL is very frustrated with hime also... but lets not take credit away from ZB... He can really do well at times as he can really do his part at the back of the court... He just needs a leader to guide n lead him throughout the match, thats all... he doesn't have the quality of a leader yet
my heart is fill with warmth, joy and contentment. Coming here to BF is like going to church, so much singing, so much learning, so much giving and sharing
MA jin was vulnerable against korean attack, and not stay forcus most of the time. I can understand ZB for lossing his temper, but showing off his anger to his junior partner just won't help at all. pity ma J.
Give him a break and warning I don't recall seeing ZB bahaves so badly before, may be he have a bad day which we all experience occasionally. So give him a break and I am sure he take his lession if he intend to stay with the national squad.
Agreed. As a senior I think he should cheer up his partner instead of blaming her, and the coach too. Just look at their faces during the game and you can feel the pressure. I am sure Ma Jin could play much better if they are not expected to win at first place, after all, this is her first appearance at AE and I think reaching semi isn't a bad achievement at all.
wow, what happen yesterday? i gone to sleep already yesterday.. seems very interesting here..he should not scold ma jin..poor ma jin. yep, if got chance, i will surely watch the replay of this match again or maybe later download it and watch.
ZB's meltdown.. I watched the 3rd game and couldn't find any tantrums thrown by Zheng Bo to Ma Jin. However, the meltdown occurred most likely after the 2nd game and continued into the 3rd game. Unlike in the 2nd game, where Zheng Bo was still giving high fives and pats to Ma Jin, i didn't witness any signs of support from Zheng Bo in the 3rd game. Both seemed to be standing on their own, on different islands. Throughout the 3rd game, Zheng Bo sure had that grumpy and upset look and it affected his (and to an extent) Ma Jin's game, as it was basically errors galore for both of them out there. Yes, the coach did scold Zheng Bo during the interval of the 3rd game. ..the coach wasn't LYB, but another coach. Btw, for those interested to see what happened, if you haven't read the Finals thread, another member has posted video links to the Semifinals matches. No download necessary but need to install MS Silverlight. *Btw, CTF and ZJW were the co-hosts. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67087&page=2 (post #21) or you can go straight to the XD match: http://watchbadminton.com/videos/yo...-doubles/semi-final-match-1/page1-detail.aspx ..well, perhaps Zheng Bo should be partnered with either of these ladies err i mean "tomboys". Talk about who'll be the one wearing the pants..
1 more question is: why get flamed on chinese badminton forums as the thread title says it all?? im sure this ZB will surely get into disciplinary board for his action yesterday.. CBA and LYB will do something about it for sure
OK, I just watched game 1. God, the quality of play was awful, especially by the two ladies. Nerves perhaps? ZB and MJ looked quite disjointed at times. At the change over, it was quite interesting to notice the tone of address by the two coaches. Didn't know what they were saying but the CHN coach was quite animated while the KOR coach was calm and seemed encouraging. Onto game 2
